COME TO LIFE.-Alexander, who mourned that
he had no more worlds to conquer, has arisen.
He lives in Appoquinimink, aud wants to be
Democratic candidate for Sheriff. This is part of
what he says of himself In the Gazette =
Should be so fortunate as to be elected, i pledge
myself to give onehalf of the profits of said office
to the white widows and white orphan children
of the Delaware Volunteers: l also assure the
naturalized citizens that deeply sympathze with
them in their earnest efforts to free Ireland from
British dominion, oppression and tyranny | also
sympathize with NIL persons concerned in distill-
Ing or brewing, believing they are often put to
great trouble and Inconvenience to elude the tax
gatherer, also pledge myself to abide by the de-
cision of the Democratic Party, and give a cordial
support to the successful nominees and IL might
not be superfuous to add that am near feet 4
incher high, bern in old Sussex, emigrated to Ap.
poquinimink Hundred, New Castle County, sew
eral years since the Revolutionary War; have al
ways been opposed to Abolitionists, TO niggel
voting negro equality also to the villanous
schemes Of that yilanous majority in Congress.
ALEXANDER WARREN.
The expression concerning "distling OF
brewing" makes us think that 1t might be wist
for tue U. s. Revenue officers to take LOOK
through the still recesses in the woods of Apo
qainimink. Alick is doubtless posted us to the
particulars.

hned IN cage. In the cage this bid
remained during the entire summer.-
Some two weeks ago the &. ntI-man
Uncovered that bis bird was suffering
under an attack of that scoufg9 Of the
fea'hered tribe-,he pip-and NJ.
knowing any means Of relieving his little
captive suggested 10 his wife to lei i, free
saving that 1t would probably cure itself.
This was done and nothing more
thought cf the bird until last Sunday
when, greatly to the surprise Of the :
entire family. the Identical bird made
It's appearance, entered the house
through the window, aligh,ed on his
"l! cage, and suffered himself to be
again placed therein. The mos. singu.
lar feature Of The case, however, Was
that the pip had entirely disappeared
