PERSONAL.

Under the head of Rem Gifts Tx julian has
the following in his last paper
THE remote resemblance he TDavisl bears to
the human form, and the fact that he is a good
typesetter, elike forbid that he should be put cut
OF his misery in the regular way
'Iis said that the celebrated DR. Thompson of
steamng memory. when called upon to prescribe
for almost every disease that flesh is heir TO,
would contrive to throw his patients into fits and
could then easily cure them for he had world
wide reputation Of being - on fits ! II
seems that the intmaton made asst week,
that the thing presiding over the editorial de-
partment Of the Centreville Republican. was a
curse TO ITSELF fitted so nicely that he goes into
the above very personal ~ and We now propose
to attempt a cure. Whether we shall succeed or
not remains to be seen. for far from
claiming to be as powerful on relieving spasms as
Dr. r. was. Calling on Us personally, however, as
he has 10 his last paper, we feel bound to put him
out OF his misery and when we're through with
him, whether he is or is not B,ne fl ted 10y our
services, shall make charge therefor-our
object is to relieve par human nature if posi-
bic.
TX is not as complimentary to our good looks
as he is TO our trade; yet, we feel disposed to
overlook the former, from the fact that in his ia
tense desire to become a painter, well
poet he describes a reflection Of his own niggard
slsa5e ard apish figure. Had we dog with
the same sneaking, villainous cast Of conn.
tenance be has, we'd put him out of his misery in
the regular way by shooting him Immediately
for fear he'd kill sheep! When. by con
temptible meannesa, aud miserable knavishnesss
we drive the wife we have sworn at The altar to
protect and cherish, TO take shelter in the house
of a father from our brutal conduct, then and not
until then, will we begin to think that We have
remote resemblance to the human form, and ft

tue Kansas troubles at Ossawattome, got up an

white and free coloied men engaged in it. They
took possession of the United States Arsenal and
held it for "a hours. Troops were sent from Wash
ington city, Baltimore and Frederick city. The
Arsenal was T. ken by storm, aud eight or ten per-
sons were killed. Captain Brown aud his son we're
both SHOT Before he died, he stated that his ob

ringeuders, escaped on Monday morning with, it
is supposed, large number of slaves for Penn
company of volunteers started in pursuit of
them. The plan is said to have been connected
at Fair in Ohio, some three weeks siuce- Most

picture of his experience in the country
He writes
"To travel round among the farmers as
we have done for the last four weeks, and
hear 'shard times repeated forty times day
as excuse for not taking a paper, or paying
up old scores; TO see men, women, and chill
drep- ip threadbare and tattered garments ;
or clothes stuffed into windows where should
be glass to find country stores closed, or
doing very little; men working for their
board, or mere trifie; promises to pay,
whether verbal or written of no account !;
men even denying their own notes; to see
the closest economy practiced by all, those
whose large houses and barns Indicate con-
siderable means. as well as those living in
cabins; to hear the dolorouss complaints OF
taxes-one realizes the severity with which
the financial pressure is felt" -
