In biographical sketch of Genera
Pierce. published in the New York Her
aid, and written by friend, it is stated
that General Pierce had four falls
from his horse during his campaign
in Mexico-in each Of which he was
severely injured. The same author
states, that, alter his last fall, he re-
signed his commission and returned
home.-Richmond Wing.
We have not read this Geographic
al sketch OF Gen. Pierce, written by
one Of his friends, but we certainly
think, that, after fallinI four times
from his horse, it was high time for
him to resign and go home. He was
right in making his escape from such
perils. The fifth fall might perhaps
have broken his arm or dislocated
his collar bone.
We understand that Gen. Pierce
now goes always on foot or rides in
a vehicle. Though unquestionably
a brave man, he is not so loolhardy
as 10 venture himself on horseback.

John Adams In favor OF the Declaration
of independence.

Extracts from The supposed speech OF
John Adams In favor OF the Declaration
of independence.
"Sink or swim, live or die, survive
or perish, give my hand and heart,
TO this vote. 1t IS true indeed, that
10 the beginning, we aimed not at
independence. But there's Divini-
tv which shapes our ends. The in
Justice of England has driven US to
arms; and blinded TO her own inter-
est, for our good she has obs.inatelv
pei sisted, till independence is now
within our grasp. We have but to
reach forth to it, and it is ours.
"Read this declaration at the head
of the army; every sword will be
drawn from its scaubard, and the
solemn vow uttered. TO maintain it,
or 10 perish on the bed of honor
Publish it from the pulpit; religion
will approve of it, and the love OF
religious liberty will cling around it,
resolved TO stand with il or fall with
it. Send it 10 the public halls, pro-
claim it there; let them hear il, who
heard the first roar of the eneny's
cannon; let them see it, who saw
their sons fall on the field Of Bunker
Hill, and in the streets oil Lexington
and Concord, and the vory Sfllis will
cry out in its support.
"Sir, | know the uncertainty OF
human affairs, but | see, | see clearly
through this days business. You
and |, indeed, may rue it. We may
not live TO the time, when this
Declaration shall be made good
We may die; die, colonists, die slaves;

ii be the pleasure Of Heaven, that
my country shall require the poor
offering Of my life, the victim shall

"But, whatever may be our fate,

A strange circumstance is chroni-
cled in the Milledgeville ga } Record,
as having occurred in Lowndes
county, in that State. short time
ago. In the year lS45, little boy,
the son Of Mr.. Ashley Lawson. got
strangled in trying to swallow a
chinquepin, and from that time he
has been troubled with a cough SINH
lar 10 the Group every winter. This
spring his parents thought he would
die, [being worse than usuaD but he
coughed up the chiDquepin. On
examination, il had bony covering
about one-sixteenth of an inch thick
on it. On removing the osseous
substance, the chinquepin was found
to be perfectly sound; the marks
were on il where he had scraped it
with his knife before trying to swaI-
low il. He is now in good health,
and is free from the cough, with
which he had been troubled so long.

A TRIED RECEIPT FOR BURNs.-
Keep on hand a saturated solution
Of alum, -four ounces in a quart Of
hot wa:er0 dip cotton cloth in this
solution and lay it Immediately on
the burn. As soon as il shall be,
come hot or dry. replace it with an
other, and thus continue the COM
press as often as it dries, which it
will, at first, do very rapidly. The
pain Immediately ceases, and in
about "a hours under this treatment,
the wound will be healed, especially
if the solution be applied before the
blisters are formed. The astringent
and drying quality Of the alum COM
pletely prevents them. The deepest
burns, those caused by boiling water,
drops OF melted lead, phosphorus,
Illuminating powder. &c, have all
been cured by this specific.

In June, 1886. Mr.. Pierce voted
against the sill "making additional ap
preparations for the Delaware break.
water, and for certain harbors. and re.
moving distractions in and at the mouths
Of certain rivers, and for other purposes,
for the year 1885," Gen. Jackson
signed this bill, and thus "Old Hickory
and "Young Hickory" as he is called,
stood at the antipodes. At the same
session, Mr.. Pierce voted against the
bill "making appropriations for the i'm
provement Of certain harbors therein
mentioned" which bill was also afer-
wards approved by Gen. Jackson. AT
the same session he voted against "the
bill to continue the Cumberland road in
the States of Ohio, Indiana, and Illi-
nois." This was on the 99th of June.
and on the ed of July, Gen. Jackson
signed the very Cumberland road bill.
On the 9lst Of February, 1897, Mr.
Hubbard, of New Hampshire, presented
in the Senate the credentials of Mr..
Pierce, elected Senator from the State
of New Hampshire, TO serve for six
years from the 4th of March then fol-
lowing. During the session of 1887
38, he recorded himself against a mar,
Dor bill that was voted for by Buchanan
and Wright. At the same session, he
also voted against a bill for the benefit
of the Nlsbama, Florida, and Georgia
Railroad Company, which even Messrs.
Calhoun and Grundy voted for-and
Mr.. Pierce found himself in a minority
of six in opposition. But j, was enough.
that the bill contemplated "iniernal i'm
provement." At the same session, a
bill was before the Senate for the "ben-
eft of the Mount Carmel and New Al
bany Railroad Company in the State of
lndiana," providing for a grant Of alter
nate sections along the road, the COM
pany contracting TO carry the mail for
iDeHfy gears, icithout charge 10 the
Government; which would pay the Gov
eminent at the rate of one dollar and
six cents for each acre granted. Mr..
Pierce voted against this bill.
These are some of his votes in gen.
eral. If we look at them in detail, we
find him voting against removing OBJ
structions in the Hudson River, Gene
see River, Oswego River, the improve
ment of Dunkirk Harbor, against an ap-
preparation for using a dredging ma.
chine on Lake Erie. against erecting a
light.h at Buffalo. and beacon
light.at Erie, and against all kinds of
for Western rivers and
harbors, and even against paying the
expenses of surveys and examinations

commerce of the country, or designed

uniform condemnation, and received the
negative vote.-N Y. Express.

fearless than Henry G. Wright.
% Resolved, That in the British and
Foreign Anti-Slavery Society, during the
last twelve years, The American Anti Slave
ry Society has found subtle. malignant and
sleepless enemy, particularly in the person
of its Secretary - 10 pains having been
spared, no opportunity leit unimproved, to
excite the most virIIlent religious prejudices
in England against its leading advocates, aud
to prevent all benevolent cooperation with
il on the part of the sympalhizing friends of
down.irodden humanity on the other side of
the Atlantic.
"a. Resolved, That an official copy OF
;l!ese resolutions, signed by the President
and Secretaries Of this Convention, be for
wardcd to the Editor of the Glasgcw Chris
tian Examiner, with respectful request for
their prompt publication, as nn act Of justice,
in the columns of that paper.
25. Resolved, That in the death of OLIVER
DENNETT, of Portland, since the last annual
meeting OF this Convention, the cause of the
slave has lost an early, devoted, unninching
friend aud advocate the hunted fugitive, one
who has ever ready to extend shelter aud
protection to him-the New England Anti
Slavery Convention, one ever prompt to

Hanging, New Testament Ordinance.

The Ohio Observer publishes document,
that viii hereafter go far to prove tho present
an age OF barbarians. 1t is a report to tho
Prcsbytery of Cleveland, by committee, on
the subject of capital punishment.
1t commences with most humble confession
OF the sin Of the church, for not laving oppos-
cd as she should have done, that awful hcrcsy
which is lnboring to destroy the gallows and
with it as they proceed to show, all dirine peua!-
lies. God they inform us has required blood
for blood. Man is but his cxecutionor. Iifcis
as sacred now as when God instituted tho "ordi-
nance OF capital punishment, it should not
therefore be abolished. The report then pro-
cecds with an exigesis of the teaching of tho
New Testament, which to its entire satisfaction.
1t reconciles with the "ordinance" of hanging.
and making it equally manifest that it was en-
dorsed by Jesus and his apostles as truly as wcro
the ordinances of baptism and the Lords Sup-
per. Then follows the conclusion:
e" Thus VIC sec that the opposition to capital
punishment is opposition TO an ordinance of
God. II ought therefore to have been met. at
the outset and resisted at every step, by every
witness for tho truth"
The report also rciteratcs the exploded SLAM
der that the abolition of capital punishment,
has been followed as a consequence by an in
crease in the number of murders in Michigan.
The principal alarm however of these Reverend
men seems to be that successful assault upon
the gallows, might be but the commencement
OF an inroad upon that system of terrors and
penalties which finds its climax in the surging,
frey billows of the pit of pcrditon. They do
well to guard their system of terrors, for having
departed from justice and lost thus the control
OF man by reason and conscience, they are now
dependent upon superstition and fear to per-
petuate their power.
