my FIRST BUFFALO HUNT

AS companion and myself were, some years
since, riding through an uncultivated portion %
certain Southern State, soon after our emanci-
patton from College shackles, we approached a
village situated on the bank of small river
Coming nearer AMI nearer, we perceived that
the whole population, men, women and children
were grouped around the Ferry-boat, at the riv-
er side, evidently intent on something wonder
fui ar amusing. Accordingly, squirting up, we
fastened into the lane which formed the princi-
pal street Of the place, to have share in the
sightseeing. Bat suddenly the crowd burst a.
sunder and dartsd, great and snail, some hither,
some thither, heller SHELTER, over hill and over
dale, with scream and yelp that brought us to a
stand. And darting directly towards us came
the fercest looking beast that mortal eve had
ever seen. He was foaming with rage or heat,
his tail was flung on high, and his shaggy name
bristled like SO many javelns of war. Our hair
stood on end.

Some of our readers may not be conscious of
the high estimation in which the present admin

We, then. utter it as our most candid sincere
and deliberately formed opinion. that the adrSin.

binary illustration of personal meanness, public
corruption, and national cowardice that we have
ever read Of in the history of the past, or seen
in the transactions Of our own eYentful times,
Aud we will venture our legal rights to the
privileges OF sanity on the prediction, that the
papers and documents which will be called for
by lheonext Congress, shall uncover a cesS-poo
which will sn81catc this land with its stencil.

THE HISTORY OF THIS MEDICINE

Rogers, after many years Of investigation and
research, aud is the one employed by bim in his

our Certificates are dated at Cincinnati, where
the medicine is best kno,cn, and has been most
fully tested. The first year. its sales amounted
only to about 4. 900 bottles; but such was its as
tonshing success in curing the complaints Tor
which 1t is recommended, that it soon acquired
an immense popularity, and the present year its
sales viii exceed 25o, 100 bottles.
Nor IS The demand Tor II confined to the west
ern states Its reputation is spreading over the
whole Union. Althorgh il has never been adver.
tlsed at all. or even offered Tor sale in New Eng
land. the pIoprielors have this day received an
order from Bangor. Me. A few days since, they
received one from Lowell, Mass --also one hcm
Palmyra, N. and another from Columbus,
Geo. And dit is because the demand for this med
icine from abroad is so great that the proprietors
cannot supply il from Cincinnati. that they have
now entered into extensive arrangements for man
