q A Good One.

DIR. Magoon recently, in a lecture on
"Mind Your Business" tells the follow
ing cool news: .. .@.'. ., =. ~
A young man went from New York
city to the West, where he commenced
business on his own account, and mar
ried. His Friends in the city were in
terested in his welfare, and when mer-
chant was about to journey to the place
where the young man had located, he
was requested to visit the .emigrant, aud
ascertain how he lived, what sort of a
wife he had chosen, his prospects, &c
Accordingly the New Yorker ascertained
the residence, Of his young friend, and
called upon him quite early in the NOR
ming. He found him in small neat
cottage and just taking his breakfast.
The introduction of the New Yorker to
his wife was quite off hand and uncere-
monious, and he was requested to be seat
ed and partake of the morning meal.
The young wife had prepared the steak,
biscuit and coffee with her own hands,
and for table had used her kneading
board, over wkich napkin was spread,
and the board placed on her lap. The
New Yorker declined seat at the table
and took his leave. In making his re-
port to his New York friends as to how
he found his young friend living, he de-
scribed the style as magnificent" and
for explanation of the superlatiye he said,
that were he the owner of that young
mans furniture, he would not take ten
thousand dollars for the legs Of his table.

An Alarming Iferesy.

We loarn by the New York papers
that on Tuesday last. Robert j Maikel,
the new Governor of Kansas, visited one
Of the grammar schools of that city, anu,
after witnessing the performances Of the
pupils, made them speech. in which he
declared it to be his intention 'tn cstai,-
lish liberal and thoroughly organic cd
system of free schools in Kansas.
Hov will this startling announcement
be received in Virginia. We can fancy
the redoubtable editor Of the South-siIe
Democrat, fiiuging up his hands in hor-
ror, and exclaiming, in the language of
the ancient saying, THE Devil and Bob
Walker"
d The South-side Democrat, it will DO
remembered, ascribes all the evik of free
society, including the Republican party,
to the pestilent influence of Free Schools
an Institution unknown in Virginia, and
to the absence of which is of course to
be attributed the fourishing condition of
that State, atawhich the rest of the world
turns pale with envy.--Bo.ton 1ra,elKr.

Strychnine in Whiskey.

The Legislature of Ohio, just adjourn
cd, passed law which makes it States
prison offence to use strychnine in the
manufacture of whiskey. BY the use of
a certain quantity Of this poison, mixed
with tobacco juice, every bushel of grain
is made to produce FIVE gallons of whis-
key; while, with an honest distillation,
the product is only half that amount
The Ohloans did not think it worth while
to legislate on the subject till they found
out that it was the drainage from these
strychnine distsllers thatkilled their hogs,
causing the hitherto mysterious disease
known as hog cholera. Fish have also
been killed in the Sciota river, at Chill
eothe, by the drainage from distilleries
in which this delightful beverage is pre-
pared. A Chemist says barrel of it
