The Canvass.

We learn that Mr.. s. j. Kirkwood,
has concluded to address tho citizens OF
our State ut various points in behalf or
the glorious principles Of Republicans
ism.
This is cheering news, for no man in
the State is better calculated to herald
forth our true principles and unravcl
the misty mcshcs Of the Untcrrifcd and
Great Unwashcd than he.
The Republican Central Committee
have extended an invitation to Gen.
Dodge to accompany him. But We are
inclined to think the tender state of the
Generals exterior, at tho present time
would not allow Of tho severe whipping,
which he and his party would receive
from Mr.. Kirkwood. 1t is even whis-
pcrcd that he vii resign rather than SUBJ
NIT to certain inglorious defeat; aud
that tho Democratic Central Committee
will dodge cut another candidate. Wcll
SO may it be. ts g -'s' v
We hope Mr. Kirkwood will pay Us
visit. We don't want him however to
help whip the Unterrifed in our county,
for We can do that, but we would just
like to hear him talk, and let them hear
what sensible man can say, upon sen
siolc subject.

Mad Stone.
siole suhjcc

The supcrstitious notions of our read.
crs may be little ticklcd or strengthen
cd by the following account Of the medi
cal properties Of a singular Stone pos.
scsscd by one Mr.. Evans Of Paris Linn
Co., which is condensed from the Linn
Co., Register. Death by hydraphcbia is
awcful in the extreme, and to avoid it
we should not hesitate to apply any and
every thing which may prove remedy.
"The Rev. Mr.. Cleghorn, Of Covers
Ferry, Cedar County, Ind one Of his
sons bitten by mad dog on the ID inst
and also the horse upon which the boy
was riding at the time. Having seen tho
account which we published few weeks
age in the Register Of the mad stone in
the possession Of Mr. Evans, OF Paris, in
this county, he Immediately started thi,h.
or with his boy and horse. The Stone
was soaked in warm milk and water, then
applied to the wound. 1t adhered with
great tcnacity--so much SO as to cause
intense pain for few moments. After
short time it seemed to fll itself and
dropped off. After being submerged in
the milk and water again--during which
green, offensive scum would arise from
the stonc--it was again applied. After
the fourth time it would not adhere any
more, and Mr.. Evans pronounced him
cured. 1t was then applied to tho wound
on the horse, to which it adhered three
times only To make sure Of tho matter,
however, Mr.. 9. remained over night and
tried it again in the morning but it would
not take hold on either the boy or the
horse. It seems to he fact we'll attest
cd that this stone will not adhere to any
wound not made by a rabid animal, and
if so must confound tho wisdom Of tho
most philosoph ical."
