that the Legislature of the State of Texas. of
which State Judge Terry was a citizen be-
fore he emigrated to California, where he is
now held a prisoner, has interposed with an
endorsement of his high character, by a Joint
resolution, and by a formal request to the fe-
deraf authorities to interfere, in legal way,
TO obtain him q release or a fair trial. The
papers all speak in the highest terms Of the
Judge.
H~oll6uay's Pills, a certain Remedy for all
Liver and Stomach Complalnts.-The daugh.
ter of Mrs. Farlow, of Maiden Lane. New
York. was for three years in a most deplora-
BILE state of health, caused by her liver and
stomach being out of order. The mother
tried a variety of remedies, but unfortunate
" the child was not benefited, on the con-
trary, she gradually became worse. Seven
weeks ago, she commenced to use Holloway's
Pills in accordance with the printed direc-
tions, they have completely cured her, after
every other remedy had failed to give her
the slightest relief.
"1EdUe no faith in q1aeE nsedicine."-Nor
have we, friendly reader, but that friend Of
the sick man, the world rel owed Davis Pain
Killer, will never fail to relieve pain if APP
piled according to directions, faith or no
faith.
W CAN DO OUR OWN KIssING."-Not a
thousand miles from this village lives a We
ry exacting Iandholder. He makes his ten
ants &c come to time'' on the day the rents
become due, and will only relax his stern de-
crees when a handsome woman is in oues-
ton. Not long sinU6 he called for his rent
of a very worthy mechanic, who, by the way,
r%ejoices in the possession of a pretty little
wife. The husband was not at home when
Shylock called, andhe was enchanted with
the pretty little wifaof the tenant. She could
not liquidate the amount due, but the land
lord becoming really enamored, told her he
would give her a receipt in full for just one
kiss.
Sir said she, boiling with indignation,
g myself and husband are very poor per-
haps we cannot pay our rent but | tell you
sir, we're not so poor but that we can do our
own kissiag."
Amt that a glorious consolation for poor
folks? The hardened creditor may take all
their property, but he can't deprive them of
the privilege Of kissing.-E7mira Gezcte.
An INHcffDENTs or THE Observation-Disclosures
ington, surrounded by his officers, witnessed
the continued attack on Fort Washington, by
Knyphauses, Rail, Mathew, and CORVALLIS.
Much of it was hidden from him BY i%nterve-
ming hills and forests but the war of can
onry from the valley Of the Harlem river,
the sharp and ineessaat reports of rifles, and
the smoke, rising above the tree tops, told
him Of the spirit With which the assault was
received at various points, and gave him, for
a time. a hope that the defence might be sue
c~essfu1. The action about the lines to the
!, south lay open to him, and could be distinct
ly seen though a telescope and nothing en-
coura ged him mere than the gallant style in
which ~Cadwalader, with an inferior force,
maintained his position. When he saw him,
however. assailed in flank, the line broken,
and his troops, overpowered by numbers, re-
treating to the fort. he gave up the game as
lost. The worstsight of all was to behold his
men cut down and bayoneted by the Hessians
, while begging for quarter. It is said sc
completely to have overcome him, that he
wept with the tenderness of a child.
