he would take the control of Mexican af-

WATER TELEGRAPH.

'HNHE subscriber having purchased the right to
erect Broyle's Patient Water Telegraph in
the counties of Augusta Rockbridge Botetourt. Ro-
anoke, Allegheny, Bath, Highland and Pendleton,
is ready to dispose of rights to either of the above
Counties or single rights to individuals for their

This exceedingly simple and cheap invention
cannot be recommended too highly to the public
for its great labor saving in conveying water from
springs to farm houses. 1t needs to be but known
to secure its universal use in all situations to which
it is adapted. Persons who have them in use would
not abandon them for treble the cost.

&C. One of the drollest occurrences in
the annals of gallantry is related of Gibbon
the historian, who was short in stature and
very fat. One day being alone with the
beautiful Madame de Cruzas, he dropped
on his knees before her, and made decla-
ration of his love in the most passionate
terms. The astonished lady rejected his
suit and requested him to rise. The abash-
ed historian remained on his knees. "Rise,
Mr.. Glbbon, l beseech you nse." Mr.. Glib
bon, still kept his posture. "Mr. Gibbon,
will you have the goodness to get up ?"-
"Alas, madame" faltered the unlucky low
er, 81 cannot" He was too fat to regain
his feet without assistance. Madame de
Cruzas rang the bell, and said to her SER
want, "Lift up Mr.. Gibbon."

extract the first paragraph OF the article:
"The fact is unquestionable says the

Frightening all over the country. A very
