Mr.. Ivins AS some good may result,
please publish this note, respecting the exist.
ence of Small Pox in Mutton Hollow, Jeffer.
son county. As the true etymology OF the
phraseology may not be understood by read.
ers at distance. the name was, by general
consent, derived from the fact that for many
years mutton was eat there by those who
neither reared nor paid for it.
Some weeks since young man came home
from the West-says he came up the river on
q steamboat-became sick and called in DR..
Biddle as his physician. Before the Doctor
was aware lie caught the infection, and died
in the bloom Of a promising manhood. The
grand father of the young man is also dead
and three days ago the father and mother
were expected to die. So far there have been
ten cases. The young man is getting well
and going about. The celebrated place ia un.
der strict guard. but the young man is now
permitted to come in speaking distance, and
has been called upon to explain how he come
in possession of some dozen fine shirts, a fine
satchel, two fine cloth coats, half dozen fine
waistcoats, four fine understands, pocket
pistol, and some hundred dollars in money
The general impression is, he stole the small

A VERY IMPORTANT LAND OFFICE DEcrs.
Ios.-On the 2lst ult., the Commissioner Of
the General Land Office, made the following
decision:
Proof required where natire citizenship is
disputed in The case Of a pre- emption claim
The General Land Office, in addressing in.
structions to certain officers in Minnesota, on
which the question was involved, instructed
them to the following effect;
"'rhat the presentation of our native.born
. citizens Of family records, births, &C., is not
so universal nor Of such general practice as
TO justify us ininsisting upon the production
of such record as the only admissible ev-
idcnce Of native citizenship, that. therefore,
where it is alleged under oath, that such n
record does not exist, or is not accessible,
resort must be had to others and the next
best and most available testimony, which
may he the affidavit OF respectable person,
fully setting forth his knowledge of the
claimant-such MS the period of time he has
known him, and other facts which may pro
duce the belief or conviction on the mind
of the dcponent that the claiment is native
born citizen; and where such showing is
satisfactorily made under oath, the Land
Officer would admit and net upon it as suf-
fcient."

WHY DO l w RITEi

soNNET-BY J. GIERLow.
If to correct the follies of mankind,
To mend the morals-to enlarge the mind,
To strip the self-deceiving passions bare,
With honest mirth to kill a passing care;
If these kind motives can command applause,
For these my humble muse her curtain draws.
Does not the poet that exists by praise,
Like to be told that he has reached the bays'
Is not the wretch (still trembling for his store,
Pleased when he grasps a glittering thousand
morei
Cheer not the mariner propitious seas
Likes not the lawyer to be handling feesi
Lives not the lover but in hopes Of bliss
To every question reply with-yes

FOREST Hlx.
au naornn -

Upon sinuous ridges gentle slope,
Fashioned in modern architectural style,
A towering mass of brick and mortar stands.
The grounds adjacent bare no low'ring shrub,
Nor creeping vine, nor spreading forest tree;
Yet in the distance many garden blooms,
Aud hills, with verdure crowned, attract the
eye.
And, bursting into view, a limpid stream
Meanders through the undulating sward
That like a gentle lakelet lies below,
Putting in motion, as it hastens on,
Some slight machinery fer domestic use.
And near its pebbly margin-lily crowned
A thriving village lies. Enchanting place.
On every hand broad fields their bosoms bare,
Offering the sons Of toll rich reward.
Mellowed by distance. Southwark, just appear
Chilhowee's misty peaks, tow'rd heaven as
cending;
And Northward, like sleeping giant, lies
The rugged form Of Cumberland, around
Whose rocky base, for leagues unnumbered,
chafe
The turbid waters of the Tennessee.
| AS oceanward they strive to make their way.
Tile must have been skillful engineer
Who marked their bounds and laid these
waters here.)
Amid these scenes, cen on the snuous ridge
Where rises that fair edifce whose grounds
Have not been touched yet by the hand of care,
The muses. have their haunts learning her seat
Aud humble as this spot may now appear,
However limited the knowledge Of
Its present greatness, not remote the day
When learning's devotees shall hitherward,
From earth's remotest bounds, bend their frai
steps;
Each lover Of the muse delighted turn
His weary pilgrimage to FoRrsr HILL

THE COMET.

The Family Visitor. Memphis, snys, while
discussing 'the comet" there must be some
node Of accounting for the extraordinary
meteorological condition Of our world at this
moment. Such winter was never known
in this latitude, and such spring, with Its
strange and ceaseless variations Of tempera-
ture has never been heard Of There was
huge comet which made fashionable call on
Mother Earth in 1856. The result Of her
cards icing sent in was, that dense fog en-.
yeloped humanity for about week. In 1926
when the comet Of that year appeared, there
were floods and foundations. Some inspired
people built "Arks;" not few Of these float.

voted for Clay or Polk recollects that i'm.

the illiterate thought the day of judgment at

others seemed to pity the lost Pleiad, whose
singular and mysterious fate has excited the
tears of Poets. aHd wonder of astronomers,
when all these things occurred, and men Of
learning sought to explain and account for
the me.eoric shower, they attributed it to
the proximity of the earth to the tail of a

The PREsIDEKT's HEALTH.-The' Wash.

ington Star ofyesterday evening says:
We npprehend that the very recent indis.
position of the President, now being COM
mented on by the press, did not continue
twelve hours, for he is as well and as strong
as ever to-day. A peculiar of the National
Hotel disease is, that it effects the patient by
paroxysns. When at its height, they are
almost continuous. When commencing to
recover, the patient has respites from their
operation on his system; first Of day, then
OF two days; until, ms the disease is evidently
wearing off, the paroxysms are the excep-
tons in the condition of his health. The
President was entirely free from the action Of
the disease for three or four weeks up to the
night before lust, we hear, when he was
somewhat affected by it until yesterday fore
noon. II then vanished.
