M. Snap takes Mr.. BuC kram
before n Judge.

Mr.. Snap, of the firm OF Snap, Bustles &
Co., is considered a lawyer Of great shrewd-
ness. There is not man in the State
Sufficiently stocked with brains 10 get ahead
ofhim in an examination.
Among the gentlemen who failed in 1854
was Mr.. Buckram, dealer in clothing
Buckram owed at the time he "caved in,
some $1,000, large portion Of which wa:
due to Bite & Brothers, of New York. Mr.
Buckram Offered to compromise with Bite
x Brothers, by paying 40 cents OIL the dollar
Bite & Brothers refused and went to law
As Buckram offered no defence, they o.
course obtained judgement. An execution
was issued. 1t produced nothing however,
II Buckram possessed funds, they were plac'
ed where the sheriff could not get at them
Snap reported to Bite d Brothers, Bite 4
Brothers read the report, and told Snap to
bring Buckram before judge. Snap did so.
The examination came oft short time since
and showed that Buckram was too oldi o
bird to be caught by chaff.
'Mr. Buckram, have you any money!
Yes. SIR
How much?'
Fifteen hundred dollars
'Where is it?'
In my pocket
will you pay it over to the judgment
held against you by Bite g. BrothersP
No, SIR
why not?'
1t is all bad-bills on the old Bank oi

why did you not say 50 in the first

Thought you liked exercise
Have YOU any other money!

No, sir

Two brass breastpins and this ring'
And what is the value Of that .ingP
'0ne hundred aud fly dollars. 1t is gold,
mounted with diamond
And does that belong to you?
Yes, sir, to me individually
And are you willing TO apply that in part
payment Of Mr.. Bites judgment?
Couldn't think ofsuch thin g.
why not SIM
IL is exempted bv the statute
Nonsense No law eXempts jewelry.'
You are mistaken, sir
Here Mr.. Snap appealed 10 the Court
The Court decided that the exemption law
did not apply TO jewelry.
But how as regards family pictures that
are exempted
We'll, sir, this is family picture, framed
in gold.'
Here Mr.. BuCkram lifted up little lid on
which the diamond was mounted and show
ed to the Court miniature daguerreotype OF
his wife. The Court looked at MIR. Snap
Mr.. Snap looked at Mr. Buckam, and Mr..
Buckram looked at the Court.
How says your honor--iS that a family

And being so, it is exempted from eIecu'

And having decided so, Mr.. Snap, as q
matter OF course, pays the cost Of eIdmina'

The Judge said yes and Mr. Snap bit
his finger nails down to carpet tdcks, ant
swore in eight syllables. he paid cost, left
the Office, and says he will have Buckram in
the State Prison, ifhe has to buy hundred
dollars worth Of pees jury to effect the OBJ

ASASCADsC AhhiSTAutS'
Gov. Geary, Of Kansas, has lately been
tiercely abused in the Black press, because
he prevented, as they assert, a "peaceable
company Of elnigrants' from entering the
Territory. How peaceable they were, and
for what purposes they came, may be imag-
incd, when we state there was found with
them the following implements of husband
~:
A cannons
l45 breech-loading muskets;
I'D common muskets
TO sabres;
2 officers sabres
IL kegs of powder;
$500 cartridges
r.. drum.
There was also quantity of lead and sew
eral hundred Sharp's rifles and revolyers.
The truth was, It was an armed battalion
commanded by Generals POmeroy and Per
ry, sent into Kansas to promote civil war
and strife. Who will blame the Governor
for his course 7 Yet the "freedom.shriek
ers" do 1t for The reason that civil war in
Kansas will promote their electoneering
purposes. Are they not beautiful party /

OF CHRONIC DISEASE.


hrs. L. & j. w. BARBER, will devote special
- attention TO the treatment of Chronic Dis
cases. And believing, as we do, that no Physic-
ian who is engaged in the active duties of q gen
eral practice, has time to give these diseases thai
attention which they must have, if they are sue
cessfully treated, one of this firm will hereafte,
devote his exclusive attention to this branch of the
profession; and from our experience heretofore
we can assure the public that great majority OF
Chronic Diseas es can be cured. Below we mention
few that We treat with success.
Dyspepsia, rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Ep-
iepsy, Scorfula, Spinal diseases, Uterine Affect.
ions, Cancer, Fistula, Piles Ulcer Diseases of the
Eye, Skin, Kidneys, &c. In the treatment Of
Cancer, we do not rely on the knife, for the reas.
on that 1t will not permanently cure this disease
We have for several years treated Cancer by the
local application Of medicines that will remove
the entire cancerous mass, and also the roots
(which cannot be removed with the knife, J ther
heal the ulcer with suppuration. Every case Of
Cancer, unless it has been standing so long thai
the system has given way and become imprepna-
ted with the disease, can be speedily and perma-
nently cured this way.
We treat Fistula upon the same plan, except
where the case is Obstinate when we have recourse
to the ligature, and with complete success in eve
ry case.
Persons wishing treatment for Cancer or Fistr-
10, should come to Chillicothe, where thew will
have to remain short time, as they should be
seen daily while under treatment we wouId
also call especial attention to the treatment of dis
eases of the Throat and Lungs, by the limitation
of medicated Vapor; the old plan of taking the
medicine into the stomach has always been un-
satisfactory, but by Medicatod Inhalation we can
bring the Medicated Vapor in contact with the
Mucous Lining Of the air passages and air cells
and tits very efficient in removing diseases Of
those parts. For removeipg diseases Ell
the Throat, Bronchitis and Asthma, thi.
treatment is almost infallible.
We make extensive use Of Electrieity'in the
treatment of all nervous diseases. Paralysis will
be greatly benefited, and If of recent standing
permanently cured by its use.
As above stated, one member of this firm will
give his exclusive attention to the treatment ofthi
class of diseases lie will visit patients, when de.
sired, in this or the adjoining counties. The
other will always be found, when not absent on
professional business at their Office and residence
on Paint street, nearly opposite the Market House
Chillicothe, Ohio.

herence to one price, small profits and upright
fair dealing, or none. We will offer no "'bait ~
to get new trade or retain what we have, but will
sell more goods for less money, Gin the course of q

cent less than every body. We continue to man

and will furnish extra sizes to order.
Eastern work is made expressly for US and will

from any quarter. We respectfully invite an en-
animation OF our stock and prices, assuring all OF

ccved at their hands, and trustby strict attention
to business and unrcmitting efforts to please, the

From the ciae matt Columbian.

During our peregrinstions about the city the
other day, we CHANGED to meet our friend, P. Hef,
jr., Esq, and accompanied him to his Melainosype
Factory, No. $50 West Third street, between Plum
and Western-row, and were shown by that gentle
man throughout the entire establishment. We we're
very much pleased with our visit aud with the OPP
portunity afforded US 10 trace the method OF pre-
pairing the Melainotype plate iron the mere sheet
iron to its 6Hsl prepared state. Mr.. Neh has ser
cured patent for bis plates, and is ready 70 ds-
pose Of rights to all who may wish them. We are
grathed to learn that be has three tines as many
orders be can ell at present. although he has
the very best facilities His entire establishments IS
thoroughly systematized, and every department Is
complete ia ITSELF
In connection with the factory is a laboratory
under the charge of skiu chemist, where Mr.. n,
manufactures the materials necessary for making
Nelainotype pictures.
Attached TO the same concern is an operating
room under the direction of Mr.. Bloom; where
visitor can have Melainotype taken in few mo-
ments that will not fail to please.
During our stay of more than two hours at No.
239. we examined number of plates as well as
specimen pictures, and must say they superior
to any Daguerreotype, Ambrotype or Photograph
we have ever seen: and we have little doubt they
supercede all other kinds of likenesses. The Me-
lainotype possesses excellences that none Of the
rest have, and very much resemble painting on
ivory 80 clear is 1t in the linear relations vgor-
Gus in tone, and just in expression. Several of
our principal artists have highly Landed the helsin
otype, and declared it equal to painting with twice
its accuracy.
This new kind Of picture has numerous advanta.
ges-t can be taken in q moment almost, aud is
much cheaper. while the plate requires none of that
troublesome and tedious process necessary for Da-
guerreotypes AMI Ambrotypes. One plate, should
the likeness not be satisfactory; without any diff
6culty be used again and again. Moreover, the
Meainotype is not affected by light, atmosphere,
rain or anything else We saw one that had been
exposed during a number Of weeks uDon roof TO
the intense heat OF the and TO heavy rains and
it perfect when it passed from the artists
hands.
Melainotypes are great inventions, and those
who become acquainted with their superior adVans
tages will, feel confident, have other pictur.
es. P. Nef, jr., is the only gentleman having
rights for sale.

the attention of our friends to the fact of the
lottery combinations that are offered by the
disciples of Buchanan, in the form of bets on
the Presidential election. To illustrate, we
will bet ten thousand dollars that Fremont is
not elected; that Buchanan is not; that Fill
more is not. This makes US either win ten or
thirty thousand dollars. Again. Q thousand
dollars on each of twenty-nine States for Fill
more; and thirty thousand that Buchanan does
not get the remainder; naming first the doubt
