sage.

Governor Metcalf was inaugurated on
the 9th, after which his message was
read on the convening of the two branches
of the Legislature. The message com,
mences by advising as little Legislation as
possible recommends encouragement in
the State as means Of preventing EN-.
igration to the West The Governor ap
proves of guarded action in granting cor.
poraion privileges. and suggests bencf-
cial changes in regard to public schools
and recommends the establishment Of a
State Reform School.
The liquor traffic is denounced as a
public nuisance and as parent of crime
and as moral suasion has failed to cor
rect the evil, he recommends prohibit
ory law with very limited determinations
if any at all in the sale of liquors.
On the subject of foreign born inilu-
cnce in religion and politics, the message
is strongly Native American. The re-
peal Of the Missouri Compromise, and the
Nebraska and Kansas bills are empbat
icalIy denounced as violations of faith
and the inAiclion of great wrong upon
the North.
The message is quite long and thor.
oughIy opposed to liquor, slavery and
the holding of Offices by foreigners with.
out 2l years residence in the country.

Interesting Debate.

On Thursday night last, there was al
highly interesting debate took place be-
tween Mr.. Alex. Porter, Of this place, and
the great Joe Bennett, of Scioto county,
The Court House was crowded to excess,
and much attention was given to the ora
tor, by some of the audience Mr.. Porter
was first on the stand, and attempted 10
show from Webster's Dictionary, the Dec
Araion Of Independence, Niles Register,
and some other documents, the difference
between Wing and Democrat, but the
jeers and confusion given by a portion OF
the hearers, prevented him, in part, from
accomplishing his ends. Bennett was
loudly called upon, and in a great long
string went on about Wings, Democrats,
Know Nothings, Andrew jackson, the
Scriptures, Priests, Preachers, St. Paul,
and about dozen other fellows, making a
tolerably we'll filed up dish Of SaImagun-
di AMI, we are decidedly Of the opinion,
came out first best, as his quaint "put I'M"
and put outs, and appropriate "promPt-
ings and interrogatories," created con
slant out-burst of laughter and merriment.
The Meeting broke up mid loud cheers
from young America" some hu2Eaing
for Bennett, and others for Porter.

Insurance Of Property,

Wo regret to learn, that many Of our
loading citizens, and property holders,
have no insurance upon their property
against fire. In our opinion, this wrong
in every sense Of the word, for, in few
short hours, the fcllmonster may lay waste
all you have, leaving you no resourse but
hard labor and up hill struggles, to regain
your losses. Every man that owns prop
erty, should by all means, insure it
in some good Company, and then, should
it SO happen, that your houses, stores,
workshops, or your furniture, wares,
and goods be consumed, you would
have, at least, small capital to again com
mcnce your business. hbelongs to every
man that sees proper, to accept the. .sccurl'
ty. To bo sure, some have insured, but
those that have not and live neighbors,

.oyr or THE SOLID OLD SETTLERS

ZONE OF TIE SOLID OLD SETTLERs.-
One Of the most remarkable men OF this
locality has been visiting our city for a
few DAVIS past. We allude to GE RGE l.,
CRooKiIAM, Esq, of Salt Creek, jackson
county. Mr.. G. is one of the early set
tIers~of our country; indeed, he may
have Ovigiadied here AT all events, he
was in the war of 1919 He is now about
seventy six years old, and weighs two
hundred and sixty-fve pounds. 1t is
with great difficulty that the old gentle
man walks, though he prefers that to rid
ing in anything like buggy or carriage,
lie enjoys excellent health, and is said
to possess one of the most retenliye mem
orirs and best informed minds in the
country. lie is throughly skilled in
mathematics, and acquired his educa-
uon by great perseverance under dilhcul-
ties. He is an old salt boiler, and used
10 read and study, like Tom. Ewing, by
the lights of the furnace at night. Mr.
e has fifteen children living"
Rg- We copy the above from the "Ddi-
Iy (Portsmouth) Tribune" and are graft
fed at the favorable notice, as our old and
worthy friend Mr.. Crookham welldeserves
the compliment. He is certainly to be re-
garded as a man amongst men, and no eu,
logy that could be heapedupon him, would
be cxaggeration in the least, as his acquire
mcnts Of talent is scarcely ever surPass,
ed. May his shadow never grow less,
his friends cease to compliment him upon
his selr-taught education. Mr.. G. lives
but short distance from this place, and
we are well satisfied that any compliment
passed upon him by our worthy friends oI
the Tribune, will not be forgotten or pass
unnoticcd by hisnumerous friends in Jack
son County.

that by recent act of Congress. $50,
600 was appropriated to enable the Sec.
letary OF War to try an experiment of in
Producing camels on this continent, as
beasts of burden, and for military pur-
poses.--As the Navy department have
occasion to send stores to our squadron
of the Mediterranean, the storeship Sup.
ply, now at the New York yard, has been
selected for this purpose, and on her re.
turc voyage will bring the camel', This
vessel will be commanded by Lieut.. Da.
yid D. Porter of the navy, and will take
out Major Wayne, an officer of the quar-.
termasler's department of the army, to
purchase the camels, and on her home.
ward voyage will bring them to the Uni
ted States The vessel will be prepared
with all dispatch for sea. There is no
doubt that the experiment of introducing
camels as beasts of burden, and for miIl-
tary purposes, in the southwestern part
oflhe country, will prove entirely success
ful. Their great endurance, ability to
carry large burdens, and the length of
time they are enabled to exist without
water, will render them valuable ad'
junct to the army in the section Of coun-
try for which they are intended. - WASH
