Rumored Duel.

A New York correspondent of the
Albany Argus says that Colonel Ere
mont has challenged Toombs, of Georgia,
to a duel-Ezchange.
Another runIor confirms the above
1t is rumored that the arrangements for
the meeting are all complete, and that
the battle ground has been selected
Henry Ward Beecher, the Brooklyn
warrior and philanthropist, is to be Ere
mont's second and Brooks of South
Carolina, is to be thesecond for Toombs.
Drs. FL. Greeley and 7. Weed, will be
in attendance on Fremont-they having
bled him so frequently they understand
his constitution. The weapons will be
Sharpe's rifles, loaded by Beecher with
Kansas gas. The distance will be four
miles (by request of Fremont.) and the
time midnight (by request of Beecher.)
The combatants to wheel and fire like
fury. Toombs thinks this is the surest
way to kill Fremont (scare him to deatb)
and, therefore, consents to time and dis
lance. Brooks desired canes for weap-
ons. The ground selected is KANT
schatka (by advice of Burlingame. A
boat will be chartered by Congress to
take as many of Fremont's friends as
desire to be "in At tie death, " with
the understanding that they are to re-
main there to keep slavery from spread
ing its blight over that fertile country.
After the fight a Kamstchatka dog will
give a howl for frsedom.-LOckport Adj
verttseT.
The above is one of the best satires
upon the ridiculous military chivalry of
the Black Republicans that has fallen
under our observation in a long time
The " Clifton House " heroism of Bur-
lingame, and the "Sharpe's rifles" cour
age of Beecher, the "softening the brain"
of Sumner, and the wounds of bleeding
Kansas, " together form more salient
points for ridiculc than we're ever before
presented by any political faction. It
will be many years before the actors in
the " free Kansas " humbug will be for
gotten by the public, whom they SO eg-
gregiously swindled.-Cin Enquirer.

a Ohio Proper State of the
Reserve.


TIE Democratic par ers in the Central
and SYusherl portions of the State, have
since the election set off this pumpkin
patch.n sometimes called the Western
ReserS e, into a State by itself. This
they 90 for the reason that the balance
Of the State is Democratic, but this de-
generated land of the Puritars is most
overwhelmingly and defantly fusion.
There were but W Democratic towns
ON the whole Reserve at the last cleo
ton to wit : Independence, in Cuyaho-
GA County, and Liverpool, in Medina.
In IS40it was one vast Coon Pen, not
q single Democratic town to break the
dismal dreariness ofthis political Sahara
-Sodom was a Paradise compared with
it-Democrats staid here out of " pure
cussedness," and they multiplied anna
zingly for the same reason. There are
enough left for seed, and since we have
been 30 unceremoniousfy set off from
the Estate Proper" we are going to
set up for ourselves and in the future
wish to be considered as citizens of the
I" State of the Reserve"
Of course as an independent sover-
eighty we wish to be understood as be-
longing TO the Union and with the same
rights as other States. We want our
Senator's, Representatives, a Cabinet
Minister, and the privilege of regulating
or Democratic institutions in our own
way.
"Ohio Proper" need have nothing
to say about affairs in "The Reserve"
we are a peculiar people running alto
gether to priests, puritanism, and pump
kin vines. Oberlin is to be the capitol
of our new State, and Giddings is to be
the Brigham Young of the concern.
Women are going to vote, and men are
going to part their hair in the middle.
Pantaloons will give place to pantaletts,
and white men will not be allowed to
run at large without their papers. Our
Railroads will be run under ground and
will make connections only with Canada
and Kentucky. The constitution will
be construed strictly and all men will
be considered equal, and some a little
more so, depending on their color. The
State of The Reserve by the Grace
of Joshua r. Giddings is hereby de-
clared . Free and Independents State.
"Ohio Proper T" and all the other States
of this Union will please conduct them
selves accordingly-Plain Dealer.

Dr.. RoBAcK-Sir,@The last three bottles of
your Blood Purifier and the accompanying
Pills, have relieved me of the last vestiee of
my rheumatism. l consider the cure ali but
miraculous. After having suffered the most
acute agony, almost without intermission, for
eight years, and being for three years a cripple,
1 can scarcely realize the fact that at this mo-
ment, after having used your Scandinavian
Remedies for only three months and a few DAYS,
| am a hale, hearty man, capable of manual
labor, and entirely free from pain. When I
first applied to you, by letter, for a supply of
your medicines, I was little better than a an
~natical skeleton. For more than two years 1
had never enjoyed one hour of unbroken night
rest, and my mind sinking with my body, had
become greatly enfeebled, the very first bottle
of the Purifier wrought a surprising change for
the better in my system, and after taking that
wonderful restorative, together with the Blood
Pills, for one month, / felt that a complete re-
generation of every animal function was in
progress. / was not deceived. 1 am now, at
81 years CT age.a as free from every symptom of
rheumatism as 1 was at 20. There can be no
doubt that this wonderful cure is due to your
remedies alone, and 1 am willing, if it will
serve you or induce others to seek relief from
the same source, that this letter should be made
public.

Il Order and neatness are among
the marks of good farming. Where
these are wanting in the arrangements
about the house and farm buildings, they
will be wanting on the farm. The far
mer is bound to train up his family in
good habits or order, by which every
thing shall be kept in its place, and
everything done in its proper connection
and habits of neatness, which shall lead

Most Painful Calamity.

Three Children Floating on q Cake of
Ice-Taoo Of them Droaoned.
Two lovely little brothers, aged seven
and five years, the only sons of John P.
and Lydia h. Worthing, of this village,
were drowned in the Chenango River,
near their fathers residence, on Satur-
day, the 18th inst, about two o'clock
P. NJ. They had permission to spend
the afternoon with the children of Mr..
s. Cary, whose residence is situated on
the bank of the river, about one mile
from it's mouth. Mr.. Cary's little son
Of nine years, and the5two sons of Mr..
W. went down to the river, which was
rising by the late thaw, and stepped on
the ice which extended some rods into
the river, and in afcw minutes they were
floating into the current.
Their perilous condition was soon dis
covered, and alarm given by Mr.. Cary
aud others, but before assistance could
be rendered, the float struck the maiu
body of the ice extending across the riv-
err some distance below, and the two sons
of Mr.. Worthing were precipitated un-
der the ice. Mr.. Cary's little son jump
ed off a few rods above and waded to a
small island near. Measures were i'm
mediately taken to recover the bodies
of the children, and prosecuted by a
large number of the citizens, removing
the ice and dragging the river but they
were not found until the agonizing and
almost frantic parents and grand par
ents had spent a long ~sleepless night OF
suspense, when about IL o'clock the
next morning, the remains of their love-
ly children were borne to them, who en-
braced them with mingled emotions Of
anguish and thanksgiving, for the almost
unexpected recovery of their dead
Biuehnm,ton ReDubLicdn.

she had undergone. as to reduce her weight to 100

entirely got over the spasms and has gained in
weight and bodily health. She now weighs at
least 900 lbs. and declares she is in better enjoy
ment OF health than ever before in her life. MT,
Beadle also related the case of Mr. Harrison Light
foot OF the same town, who has been entirely
cured of the worst form of Epilepsy by these same
pills. Mr.. Lightfoot's case was so bad that he
never passed a week without having an attack,
often falling down in the street. He has not had
an attack for more than a year, Mr.. Beadle thinks
want of proper perseverance on the part of the
