The MAN WHO GOES BARK-FooTED IN
WInTER.-The Auburn advertiser says
that John Ford, one of the eccentric citi-
zens of that town, declares that he knows
the weather is getting colder, because his
feet are so much warmer than usual
For two winters, now, this man has gone
6are.footed. He says his feet are never
cold. He wears shoes in the summer, but
nothing can induce him to do so in the win
ter. We doubt if another example like
this can be found in the State of New
York, or indeed in the United States, ex-
cept among the aborigines.

ing. A volume will be issued every three

General Agent, F. E. FOSTER, say:
WHEATLAND, near Lancaster,
18th November, 1856.
My DEAR SR:-It affords me pleasure to be-
come a subscriber to Col. Benton's Abridgment
of the Debates in Congress from l7S9 to 1856
From the long experience of the Colonel in pub
Lie affairs. his commanding ability, and his ac-
curate and extensive knowledge of our political
history, we may expect that this work will add
to his own fame, and prove highly valuable to
his country. Yours, very respectfully,
JAMES BUCHANAN. Z
Executive OFFICE, COLUMBUS,
December 5, 1856.
DEAR SIR:-The proposed abridgment of the
Debates of Congress, by Col. Benton, eommends
itself to the favor of all Americans. The work
itself is most important. 1t will place within
the reach of thousands otherwise inaccessible
treasures of historical knowledge. 1t will make
audible to the present generatio the discussions
of the past-deeply interesting themselves, but
even more interesting as exhibiting the begin
nngs of great traces of events, the procession of
which is yet passing before our own eyes.
And no man is SO well fitted for this work as
the distinuished statesman who has undertaken
it. His large experience in the public councils,
and his comprehensive Judgment, afford suffi-
cient guarantees that nothing will be retreneh-
ed which should be retained, or retained which
should be retrenched.
Very respectfully yours,
s. P. CHASE. !
