and strutted its brief hour upon the stage of
action. He came into our possession deceas-

form indicated clearly a coop.fed fowl. Hav-
ing undergone the culinary process, and being
subjected to the disSector's knife, and the

young and tender-juicy and sweet. ToGeth-

enjoyed the savory dish which he constituted,
immensely, aud our friend Mrs. Hoy was
gratefully remembered by all around the
board. May she live a thousand years and
be blessed with every comfort.

An Unpublished Letter of Andrew
Jackson.

From the Noun, Sterling Ky Sentinel
Below We publish letter Of General
Jacksop's. written 10 Cuthbcrt Banks, ESD,
introducing To him the celebrated Aaron
Burr. This letter bears date August l..
1905 and carries the mind far back 10 the
memorable days OF our past hi>tory-thc
DAYS OF jefferson, Madison, and Monroe.
General jackson, We think, was then Il
Federal Judge at Nashville, and Burr,
doubtless, was travelling over the West
and South in turtherancc of the schemes
for which he was subsequently tried for
treason. Ii seems from the letter that tins
lettered and accomplished man won the
hearts of all who came under the spell at
his irresistible fascination, and called forth
the highest culogies from even General
Jackson. The original OF this letter Is now
in the posscssion OF Mrs. Mcgowan, of this
county. who is the daughter of the gentle
man 10 whom the letter was addressed
then \ prominent merchant OF Lexington,
Nv The handwriting is bold, rapid, and
energetic, characteristic Of the hero OF New
Orleans. This letter reads as follows:
"The late Vice President OF the United
States. Mr.. Aaron Burr, has honored Us
with visit. The citizens OF Nashville
and its vicinity, to hail him 10 our country,
met AT Mr.. Talbott's, Nashville, and gave
him dinner, amongst whom were Judge
Oyerton, Generals Robertson and smith,
together with the most respectable ciiarac-
tess of the country. This We thought due
ITO the merits of the man, and ms services ,!
the cause Of freedom and republican,
