p. JoHN's capacity for downright
lying is well shown in the matter OF
MordanSville Post Office. He not only
endorsed the Petition for the change
Of the Office to Bear Run, but wrote a
strong letter to have it done. In fact
he was in such high blood ON the occas-
ion that he denounced the Mordans-
vile Republicans, who opposed the
change, as "lovers of strychnine whis.
key" Now, hear him in his paper OF

The American Horse.

The horse was not a native of this
country. He came originally from va
rious parts of Asia and Africa. Large
herds of horses in wild state are
sometimes seen in the southern parts of
Siberia. = EgE T b ~ ss ee ,
The horses of South America are of
Spanish origin, of the Andalusian breed,
and have descended from horses brought
over. by the early adventurers from
Spain. They have multiplied SO fast
that they are often seen in large herds,
consisting often of many thousands,
The horse has been domesticated, and
in this state is found in almost every
part of the civilized globe. He was
known as domesticated animal from the
earliest times of recorded history, and is
often spoken of by the writers. of the
Bible in a way to indicate the exceeding
ly high estimatein which he was held in
ancient times.

The Convention which met at Chicago

the Presidency, adopted resolution
that the liberties of the people of the

with rdisdain this sound doctrine, and
denies that the States have any rights.
In Congress there is constant effort to
