s1R WALTER sooTr,s CENTENARY.

Many years ago, u ore than we can count
we remember going to Chapel House, 3
large posting house on the great North
Road from Scotland TO London, to see an
elderly gentleman GO by in post chaise
We were a boy Of some ten or twelve years
old then, but have never forgotten that day g.
We saw the great man, who was expected,
seated in the carriage, his massive head
supported on thick, rough-cut WalkiD Z
stick which he held between his knees, his
hair silver gray, his eyes weary-looking and
a pallor over the face, two great faithful
dogs we're in the carriage with him, their
fine shaggy heads resting one on his arm
the other on his knee. lie was dressed in a
pepper and salt suit, and q shepherds plaid
was wrapped in national and picturesque
folds about his shoulders. That man was
Sir Walter Scott, going on his last sad jour
ueY, to seek for that health, which never
came, in q SUMMER cline. On the 9Th of
next month it is one hundred years since
that intellectual giant was born, and thous
ands upon thousands who have laughed
his humor or wept over his psthos, will honor
the centenary of his birth. The keeping of
this day will not be confined to the children
of the mist, the lads from the heather-clsd
mountains or the sonsie bodies from the low
lands of Aud Scotia, but will be partakeu
in by all who have read his works, and who
hes not owed some of his happiest hours to
the Landlord" or the editorial playful
ness of Jedi1ish Cleishbottom? Scott lie
as universal as Shakespeare. He was not
for country or q period, but for all the
world and all time. In Davenport here,
the ST. Andrews Society, the Burns Club,
and all the lovers of the great unknown,
now the great "Of-all known" will join do
ing honor to the momory of Sir Walter
Scott, the monarch of the ideal world 90
that day such festival as is not ften seen
will take place in Davenport Davenport

FAMILY PoIsoNED.-From the Davenport
Gazette Of this morGing, we learn that on
Monday last, Mr.. ohm Smith, who lives Oh
Front street, between Main and Brady,
bought some straw berries Of q woman from
the country. The fruit was served for tea,
and partAken Of by the family, six in mum
Der, except Mr.. Smith. Not long after
every one of the FIVE were taken sick, with
every indication Of poison. DR.. McCourt
new was called, who administered sntidotes
and the sick ones we're soon placed on their
feet again. An examination into the case
revealed the fact that the straw berry bed
adjoined a potssoe patch, on which Paris
Green had been used to destroy bugs, and II
is thought the poison wAs communicated to
the berries by the winds, and the bugs
People should bear in mind that Paris
Green is deadly poison and perhaps may
be an effectusl sntidote for the potstoe bug,
yet great care should be taken how and
where it is used.

PoLICE.-This morning, Erick Erickson,
an old man of some seventy years entered
the clothing store of Stern / Bear, on Hi

clothing, amounting 10 about 81, and offered
in payment therefor $40 bill on the Ma
tionsl Bank of Poughkespsie, n. Y. After
receiving his change he walked off about
MS business and nothing more was thought
bill WAS made, ard which proved it to be
sn Outrageous counterfeit. Information of
the above facts were Immediately given to
the proper officers who set out to find their
man, and who, it seems, during the interval
had been hsvIng good time with the re
mainder of his $40 bill. He was soon
found, however, and taken before Magis
trAte Chopper for g hearing, when the
fol lowing facts were ELECTED: viz that he
picked up two bills, both of the same bank
and denomination, last evening, among the
crowd that we're gathered around the "Horse
| Medicine Man, they we're lying among q
small pile of rubbish that had accumulated
there, and acting upon the principle of keep
ing all you get, the old man showed them in
his pocket and commenced to invest this
money, as above stated. The parties frou
whom he had purchased the clothing, Af.er
having received back their goods and secur
ity for the money he had spent, not Wishing
to push the matter any further,-taking into
consideration his old age and the facts o
the case, he was released by the Magistrate
and allowed to 60 MS way rejoicing.
