tFrom the Boonville Democrat
Letter from Robert Dale owen.

NEW YORK, July Is, 1862.
DEAR SfR:-Your favor of July End, ad-
dressed to me at Washington, followed me
to this city, which will account for the de-
lay in replying to it, as have Just received
it. bad previously received from other
portions of the District, letters from old
friends, all of similar import.
i cannot tell you how grateful feel for
this kind remembrance of me, after so long
an absence from our State, and for the con-
tinued confidence which my friends of the
First District still place in me. And from
the tenor of the letters | have received,
see li,te cause to doubt that the nomina.
ton would be rendered to me if signifed
any willingness to accept and that, if
nominated, should be elected. In addi-
tloD, | endorse, in the most unqualified
manner, themUnion sentiments of the last
Convention. | was most desireus, as you
know, to avoid this war; but, once in for
it, am for prosecuting it to the end, and
until the Union can be established on such
a footing that such war shall never be re-
newed. Whatever does really stand in the
way of this, must and should, in my judg-
ment, go down-be it slaves or be it any
thing else. | think the progress of the war
will develope what is necessary in this re-
spect, and whatever is necessary should be
boldly done.
must, however, with the warmest thanks,
decline the nomination. have on hand
work which l think of Importance and
which will probably be published in year
or two; have fully resolved 10 devote my
self to that instead of to public business.
fear this will reach you too late "a ae Of
use; bat the delay was unavoidable.
While live, my heart will always be
warm to the friends who did so much for
me 10 former years, and stood by me thro'
all difficulties. think, with great regret
that my declining to accept the nomination,
if rendered may disappoint some of them.
But am now sixty, have not great many
more years to live, at most, aud l think it
my duty to spend these in way that may
do the greatest permanent good to my fell
low creatures. ~ L1I
This, | am sure, they will appreciate, and
will not see cause Of offenee in my refusal.
With thanks to yourself personally for
your kind letter,
L. Believe me, sincerely, .sA51 1St

We believe that every farm should own

We believe that the best fertalizer Of

the fruit.
We believe in a clean kitchen, a neat

Mr. ED1ToR:-The forty-sixth annual
report of this noble Institution has just
been issued. As many ofyourreaders will
not be likely to see it we pen an epitome
for their information.
Like the current literature of the times
this document containg many allusions to
the war, and effects upon the operations
of the Society and those of its auxiliaries
and agents. In first paragraph the Mana
gers express the convictian that the rebel
lion was 'uncalled for, rashly undertaken,
and if successful would have been hurtful
beyond computation to all sections OF the
land"
The report notices appropriately the fol
lowing officers of the Socets who have died
during the past year, viz Hon. John Nc
Lean, Dr. Samuel H. Turner, Geo Doug
lass, Esq, Horace Holden. Esq, and Hon.
Theodore Frelinghuvsen. Judge Mclean
was one of the oldest Vice President of
the Society, and was once elected its Pre-
sident but declined the office on account
ofioificial duties elsewhere Geo. Douglass,
another ef It's Vice Presidents, was one of
its mott munificent patrons,-his contribu,
tions to it during his lifetime amounting
te over $4,000 Theodore Frelinghuysen
was Vicc President Of the Society from
1910 to lS44, and since then-a period OF
seventeen years-its honored President.
During these seventeen years he rresided

Caught Gu a Jury.

The following we have heard told as :.
fact, some time ago, may DC beneficial to
some gentleman who has has young and
| unsuspecting wife:
a certain man, who lived about ten
! miles from X, was IN the habit of
going to town, about once ~ week, .anl
getting on n regular spree, and would not
return until he had TIME to "cool Off"
which was GENERALLY two or three days
His wife was ignorant of the cause of his
! staying out so long and suffered greatly
from anxiety about his welfare. When
he would return, Of course his confiding
wife would inquire what had been the
matter with him, and the usual reply was,
that he had been caught on the jury and
couldn't get oti.
Having gathered his corn, and placed
it in large heap, he, according to custom,
determined TO call in his neigh bors and
have real coru-shucking frol C. So ho
gave Ned, a faithful servant IA Jug and an
order, to go to town aud get a gallon of
whlskey-a very necessary article On such.
occasions. Ned mounte! mule and was
soon III town, and, equipped with the
whiskey remountcd and set out for home
all buoyant with the prospect of fun al
shuckng
When he had proceeded few hundred
yards from town he concluded TO take the
stuff, and not satisfied with once, he
kept trying until the world turned round
so fast that he turned of the mule, and
then he went to sleep and the mule so
grazing. 1t was now nearly night, and
when Ned awCkc it was just before break
Of day, and so dark that he was unable to
make any start towards home until light.
As soon as his bewildcrmcnt had subsidized,
SO that he could get to the point h.,
started with an empty jug, the whiskey
having run out, and atJo,, for the mule
had gone home OF course lie was con-
templatinc the application OF two year
old hickory. rs he went on the rate of
two forty.
Ned reached home about breakfa time,
and fetched up at the back door with :.
decidedly guilty conscience.
"N hat in thunder lave you been at,
you black rascal said his master.
Ned knowing his masters excuse to his
wife, when lie went on "a spree, deter
mined TO tell the truth, if he died for il,
