My Breethring, | will take fol. my text
the same which was preached by my
brother. AT Brandon, Mississippi, of which
you have all doubtless heard :--'' And
heplayed on aharp of Thousand strings
spirits of just men made peric.'
Ny brethren, there is as many strings
to politics as there is to lyre-and. a
good many liars to. eeny most every string
then there amt but one on 'em all that
rings out the music ofthe union to which
every true patriot ought to keep. step
for tahe played on a harp of thousand
strings sperrits Of Just men made per6c."
FIst charts the Know-Nothin !! His
name expresses the amount of his infor-
NATION, but;it don't convey an idee of his
resources. He'sthe most extraordinary

an abolitionist and he amt an abolitionist
-he's here and he's thar-and he will be
no WHARF in November-for " he played
on a harp of thousand strings-sperrits
of just men made perfc."
Then thar's the polittikle cobbler, goin
round like a roaring green bay Jackass
seekin' where he may humbug somebody.
He's all the colors Of the rainbow, and
more changeable than the Camelia Japon-
Milky. He is Wing and anti-Whig "a

They go for personal freedom-for
popular rights-for justice to all men and
all parts Of the country-for light instead
of darkness-for open discussion instead
of midnight cabal-for self-government
and not for oligargy and they go in to

tees the case of a young merchant of that
city, connected with very respectable IA
miles, and until recently of uncommon
ly bright prospects, who has been proved
guilty not only of losing all he was worth,
and money that justly belonged to his
creditors, at gambling tables, but who
has forged notes to large amount to
conceal such losses. The same paper

The Celebrate ted Patent Co
Z nicaR Burr Stone Mill.

THESE mills are adapted for all the usual
Il grinding, and may be propelled by Wa
ter, Steam. Wind or HORSE Power, and viii do
its work with great rapi and perfection, and
may be put up and kept in order BY almost any
person. It's q perfect Grist Mil in miniature,
and is undoubtedly the cheapest and best Mill
ever offered to the public. These mills are not
made of IRON and STEEL, which soon become dull
mouse, and then cannot be sharpened again, but
of the best FRENCH BURR STONE, which is
but little affected by use, and when it does be-
come dull it can easily be sharpened by the far
mer himself. al
They are durable, not liable to get out of or
der, and can be driven with less power than any
other kind of Mills.
To the above Mills have been awarded at diff
ferent times FORTY-SEVEN PREMIUMS, in
GLIDING GOLD EXHIBITION MEDAL, Certificate
and copy of the Reports of Juries by the Royal
Commissioners of the Worlds Fair, held at Lon
don in 1851.
There are five sizes of these Mills, ranging
from Hand Mill, to one suitable for large Mer-
chant Mills, and capable of grinding from three
to eight bushels Of wheat OF corn, and from six to
fifteen bushels offeed, an hour.
Any number of certificates of the utility of
these Mills, might be given, but we only publish
the following. The Mill of Mr.. Barb is of the
second size, and costs only 800.

Having heard many statements prciudicial to

pressed for Il long time, until had used some
flour made by them, when was convinced that

Hour than had ever had from any other kind
of Mills. Now this is to certify that have in
my basement, No. l Buffalo street, two of
your Conical Mills, with which | have made,
within the last four months. large quantity of
flour, from an average of four bushels and II
pounds of wheat to the barrel one-hulf of which
passed for extra in the city of Ncw-York, the
other half for supcrfnc. l have done this to
satisfy myself rs to the yield. l believe your
Mills rcQui re not more than onc-hulf much

of business. They also grind cool consequently
the color is better Andmorc pure, and the flour
brighter, the fermcnting properties OF the flour

A Singular Renr Story.

We have heard the particulars Of a ra-
Their singular Bear story, which we tell
our readers as it was told US. Messrs. J.
S. Speck and James Lowman, living at
Rushvillc, in this county, were out in the
Mountain between Rockingham and Pen
dleton counties, hunting up their cattle,
when they came across very large he
Bear. Neither of them having gun, and
the animal seeming to be kindly disposed,
they resolved to attempt to " drive him.
to a certain point, where they knew there
was gentleman who had gun. They
got bruin started in the direction of the
man with the gun, and by dint Of hurra-
ing and screaming, actually drove him in
to and long path little over a mile be-
for he was shot He kept the path in
which they started him pretty WE'LL
Whenever he felt disposed to leave it,
they would ride out after him and drive
him back again He was shot, after be-
ing driven in this way over mile, by
Mr.. Noble Ovens, who had to shoot him
or times, with shot gun, before he
was dispatched. What is the most sim
gular the animal refused to run after the
first shot, which took him in the side.-
The Bear was a monster of his species.
These facts we gather from RESPONSE
bic gentleman, who had them from the
mouths of the gentlemen themselves who
drove ard killed the Bear, and who ex-
hibit the skin of the animal as the proof
of their rather singular Bear story

Conical Burr Stone Mill that you have putin
operation for me, and can assure you that it
more than sustains your recommendations, as
have ground FOUR bushels of Corn into fine meal
in less than fifty minutes, and believe that
can with four good horses grind FIVE bushels of
business, but three or four will do better, My
customers generally, are well pleased with the
meal the" get from my mill, and say that it is
superior to any chat they have ever had from any
other mill am fully satisfied that if the val
uc of these mills was generally known, that they
would soon go into general use. They can be
kept in order by almost any person. will just
say that my opinion in regard to those mills
corresponds with the certificates from many 9th
er5 who are using them.
