The Colonel went away, and returning
at the appointed time, found him still at work
on his horse. He was very wrolh when he
saw the state of affairs; but he went away
again with the promise that Z" in one half
hour" longer the shoes would be set. After
dinner, in no very mild humour, he made
his appearance again at the shop, and asked
:" what was TO pay"
"Four shiliags," was the reply.

PAcE's P. O., BARREN Co, Ky,


can assure you the number of Anti-Slavery
papers taken here, and the number of Anti
Slavery votes given, is no index to the Anti Sa-
very sentiment Of this community. Though
Hale got but few votes in Kentucky, all given
for him were not returned.
While the last Presidential canvass was go
ing on, | was at neighboring town during
circuit court at dinner, at the tavern, the
Wing and Democratic candidates for elector,
and several lawyers with whom was well ac-
quainted, being present, the conversation turned
upon the probable vote Hale would get in Ken
lucky. On my avowing my intention to vote
for him, one lawyer remarked to another that
Hale would get more votes than he had any
idea of, if the vote were taken by ballot That
man told the truth. There is in Kentucky
strong opposition to Slavery and Slavery ex-
tension in my opinion, if it could be brought
out But here, as elsewhere, the wealthy rule
They are Shareholders Politicians know that,
and act accordingly. 1t seems that Senator
Dixon goes for repeating the Missouri Compro
mise, and avows himself the representative of
Shareholders. Of course, a very large majority
of the voters of Kentucky are without Sena-
tor, and perhaps without Representative, too.
should feel great humiliation, but for COM
pairing my situation to the voters of some of
the free (t) States Some of their Senators and
Representatives can lick the dust, and never
snfile | am native Kentuckan, and love
the union of our State and desire that union
to continue, and give it as my honest opinion
that the greatest danger to the Union has been,
and still il, in yielding to the demands Of the
slave power.

The celebrated editreSs Of the Pittsburgh Family
Visifey says
"In 'l776' patriotic fever broke out in this
country, which became epidemic. Oar fatherin- law,
then youth, had a prolonged and severe attack Of
the disease: and once, he was, with large number
of the afflicted the banks of the Delaware, under
the charge OF Doctor George Washington. One night
he knew by the symptoms that all bis patients would
have gunpowder paroxyisIn in the morning. unless
some measures were taken to prevent il and he or
dered them ali plunge in the Delaware, rigorous
rubbing with ice cakes to swim to the other shore
and then had them packed away in wet blankets
until next morning Some died from the effects of the
treatment; but TO the patient in whom we were most
particularly interested it resulted In confirmed asth
ma, which descended to his children. So our bigger
half gets up coughing and wheeling spell almost
every evening Lately, when il begins, he takes
a few drops of Aycrs Cherry Ptctoyoa, which gives
him immediate relief Thus we have present expe-
rience in our family which says that although water
is all the medicine require other people may need
something else
