in that animal, came under observation late

says:

no means carful keeper was solacing him

pretty brisk trot down the lane. Happen

whom. baby not more than three years
old, stumbled and fell, the animal deliber-
ately stopped, placed the child out of the
way with his theeth, and continued his
course as if nothing had occurred.
But This philanth-
ropic propensities tia not stop here, for,
meeting with similar group, he repeated

hitting some mishcief, he quietly sufIerd

The Chicago Times says, that in Kentucky al
the late election, the question of Congressional
intervention in regard to slavery, either to estab

subject in all its aspects and bearings was patient

preeedes it, that there need be no difficulty

From accounts in the Chicago Times.
we learn that the opposition in Illinois are
making one grand and universal effort for
thorough and as they probably flatter
themselves. an effective organization thro'-
out the entire State. Gov. Lincoln who
was so efIectually defeated in his recent
campaign with Senator Douglas, doubt
less feels sore, and as "the CALLED jade
winces," he is foremost, in the midst and
uppermost in this work. preparatory to
making this. perhaps their dying effort. to
defeat the Democracy in Illinois. From
the efforts they are making, an outsider
might reasonably infer that they feared
their entire party was swallowed up by
the modern Egypt Of that State. Money

1t is stated that during the late term Of
the U. S. Circuit court in Alabama, several
indictments were found under the law OF
1918, which preseribes fines and imrrision-
ment for engaging in or aiding and abetting
the importation Of Africans within the ju-
risdiction of the United States. As the law
OF 1920 which makes the offence piracy,
to be visited with death, does not in ex.
press language repeal tho former statute, q
grave question has arisen, involving the
point whether there can be any choice Of
the above mentioned punishments. for

was consummated last Saturday.
In taking leave Of our patrons and
friends. we have ouly to say that we do so
for the good OF ourselves and families, in
the hope that the patrons of the establish

During the time we have conducted the
paper, we have aimed to make it as inter
esting to the reader as possible. How far
we have succeeded. we leave the reader to
judge. Our editorial career has not been
widely different from tina: of most country
editors, being the source of anxieties, pleas
ures and hardships. We leave it with
regret, for there are many pleasurable as
socIations connected with it. For the
uniform kindness which we have received
from the public. and especially from the
knights Of the Quill, we shall not soon be
forgetful

fll our contracts for subscriptions, adver-
Using, dc. He is not unknown to the
reading public. having published num-
Der of papers in the State, including the
"Pl! mouth Banner" at this place, few
years ago. Being practical printer, and
having large editorial experience, he will
no doubt publish paper worthy of pcy-
'ng patronage from the Democracy in par
t'cular, and the citizens in general.
To the kind friends who have aided us.

county by citizens interested, to take what
they might conceive to be necessary steps
to recover damages for the stock killed by
the Pittsburgh Fort Wayne and Chicago

up the track of the road may have been
thrown out in the heat Of passion; but no
prominent and wealthy citizens Of Fort

any other conspiracy" unless it is some
thing of very recent origin, of which we
suppose our exchanges from that city
would most likely know something. A
public meeting, held in open daylight.

for it, cer' .inly could not be construed into
any very dangerous conspiracy, in any

TIE PREsIDENr--In our next issue
we will furnish our readers with beau
tiful, mild and conciliatory article from
the Washington Constitution--the Presi-
dents accredited organ--in relation to the
certainty of his retirement at the expira-
ton of his present term--which no Demo
crat can fail to approve and admire. Look
for it and read it calmly and without pre-
judice. Every one is not negro slave
lover, who has soul enough to preside
over the destinies of the whole Union.
Our old Plymouth Banner was the
second paper in this State that hoisted the
name Of Mr.. Buchanan for the Presiden.
cy in 1856, some time before he returned
from his acceptable and highly popular
mission to England. The New Albany
Ledger was the first, and that paper so
noted and published the fact. And to
sum up and take it altogether, we feel eve-
~ assurance that at last his administra-
ton will prove one of the most benef-
cent and acceptable that the country has
been favored with for many terms past.
