ticed by the Wilkesbarre Pa Record, as
follows:
"Mr. David Levi has just returned
from Arizona. Coming up tho Mississip-
pi, as tho boat stopped at Matches, vote
was taken for Presidential preferences
among the passengers. One very re-
spectacle looking merchant from Ohio,
voted for Lincoln, with the remark that it
was useless for him to attempt to disguise
his sentiments. The other passengers
Immediately stripped him, covered him
with tar and feathers, and set him adoat

RULES FOR HEALTH-A LA DR.. HALL.
Never go to bed with your feet sticking
out Of the window, particularly when it
is raining or freezing.
More than three pigs feet and mince
pie eaten at midnight will not generally
cause the consumer to dream Of hours,
paradise, accommodating bankers and 9TH
er good things. At least they are not
apt TO do 50.
Never stand in rain barrel all night.
It checks perspiration, and spoils the wa
ter for drinking purposes.
Never spank your children with hand
saw, or box their ears with the sharp edge
Of a Ratchet, as it is apt to affect the brain.
Ear-ache in children is common and
vexatious complaint. To cure it at once,
bore hole in the tympanum with gim-
let, and pour in oil and things. If the
child keeps on crying, bore it all the way
to the other ear.

with clear water. In the country surrounding
st. Cloud and as far North and West as we have
any reliable account, settlers find no difficults
in locating land on q running stream or trany-
Iarcnt lake with plenty Of timber at hand for
building, fencing and fuel, and as the land on
the West side Of the Upper Mississippi is only
open to presumption, there is little opportunity
for spectators, and settlers have assurance Of
neighbors and that rapid increase in the value
arise from the system Of land in limited GUAM
titles to actual settlers
The country around 81. Cloud, west Of the
mississippi was purchased Of the Indians in .
treaty made with them by the Hon. Alexander
Ramsey and Luke Lea in 1852 and ratified nv
the senate the same year. The Sioux had
owned the land from 1927 but had not occupied
1t, and it was used as a hunting ground BY the
Wnnebagoes whose land reached within four
miles north Of St. Cloud. Their country wos
ceded to the United States by treaty began
with commissioner Manypeny and concluded
at Washington in Feb. 1856 and ratified .bv Tho
Senate March Sd Of the same year. In NAV,
following they removed to their reservation ~,

The Iaeendiarisrn i'm Texas.

Ii is known to cur readers that recently
numerous Cases OF incendiarism have occur
red, which have been attributed to the aboli-
tiouists In notice. in the \. Y. Tribune OF
the ,th Ju 7, OF the taking down OF Il Re-
publican pole, on the 9th July. which had
been erected at Occoquun. Prince Williams
,unty, Va, that paper thus refers to the
Texas Outrages:
9Th Texas burniugs, of which so much ac
count is made, are pro Iabe of the ZANE pirce.
For a year IT Nv o back. i,inerating preachers
OF the Gospel have been malir-ated in and
run out of Texas as AbOliiiOnists, on no OH
er proof Than the admitted fact that they be-
lOnged to the 'Melhodist Church, No thu
Several were thus abused in and run out of
Dallas County last year. or late, several
buildings have been burned in that section,
and it is coOlly assumed that 1.-The Abolition
''ists' are at the bot OF the crime. 1t is
of course possible that some OF the abust
Melhodisis, or those who sympathized with
them, have thus reveRg, d their ~rongs; but
it is far more pro 1able that the inceudiarieS
have contriYed at the same time TO Satiate
private m lice and to excite fresh and muir
deruus crusade against those they are pleased
To term AbolIIi"nistS. Tue pretenSe of an
Anti-Slavery conspiracy looking to rebellion
in Texas, is iarc!cal. Those who cOunte-
nance do not believe it.

most unkind. The democracy had it ali to
themselves at Charleston and Baltimore.

other. While it is perfectly true that MUIR
