A Presidential Practical Joke.

Some Western gentlemen, either en-
Unused with admiration for General Grant,
or modcstly conveting some territorial
land Office, has shipped the President
three live buffaloes, equal to we don't
know how much Federal currency. The
beasts are on the road, via Omaha, and
will soon be turned out to grazo on the
executive farm near this city. The gene
raj had intiT aticns while here Of tho ap-
preaching donation, and was in great per-
turbation of spirits as TO what he should
dc with them. He first thought of send
ing them to Greeley to DO put into
trsining at Chappaqua for agricul-
tural purposes, but concluded the philoso-
pher would get mad about it and oppose
his denomination. When the President
| during his late visit, was riding over tn,
magnificent farm of his enthusiastic host
Wm. II. Benton, and listening TO his glow
ing description of the joys of buco'ic life
bright thought struck him. Here wa
the place for his buHaloes. No soone
thought of than done. An order was dis
patched for the unwiOldy animals to bo di
rccted 10 the Benton farm. Probably be
fore he reads this notice that energetic

SIR:-The General Assembly at it, late

Central Railroad Company by the act of
10th of February, 1851, and that were
conveyed by that corporation to trustees
under the 18th section of that act subject
to taxauon. Although the bill referred
to has not become a law, yet 1t seems to
me 10 amount TO an expression ofthe opin-
ion of the General Assembly that such
lands are properly taxable under existing
laws. / have the honor TO suggest the
propriety Of the issuance of directions
from your office to the proper officers of

lands lie, to place saidl lands upon the proper
assessment rolls for taxation. 1t may be tha

opinion that the lands referred to are pro-

A Pitiful Condition.

1t is a sad thing TO pass through life only half
alive. Yet there are thousands whose habitual
condition Is one of languor and debility. They
complain of no specific disease; they suffer no
positive pain but they have no relish for anything
which affords mental or sensuous pleasure to their
more robust and energetic fellow-beings.
In nine cases out of ten this state of iassitude
and torpor arises from a morbid stomach. Indi-
gestlon destroys the energy of both mind and
body. When the waste of nature is not supplied
by a due and regular assimilation OF the food,
every organ is starved every function interrupted
Now, what does common sense suggest under
these circumstances of depressioni The system
needs rousing and strengt hening; not merely for
an hour or two, TO sink afterward into more pit
liable condition than (as ii as-uredly would do
If an ordinary alcoholic stimulant were resorted
to). but radically and permanently.
How is this desirable object TO he accomplished
The answer to this question, founded on the un-
easily given. Infuse new vigor into the digestive
organs by couree of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Do not waste time in administering temporary
remedies, but wake the system up by recuperating
the fountain-head of physical strength and energy,
the great organ upon which all the other organs
depend for their nurture and support.
BY the time that a dozen doses of the great veg
etable tonic and invigorant have been tai en-, the
feeble frame Of the dyspeptc will begin to feel Its
benign influence. Appetite will be created, and
with appetite The capacity to digest what II Graves

Gle, bone and nerve, and brain, flows through the

ond year. The third variety is the hooded
seal, and is much larger than the harp.
The male, called the dog hood, is distin-
guished. from the female by singular
hood or bag of soft flesh on his nose.
When attacked or alarmed, he initiates this
hood so as to cover the face and eyes, and
it resists seal shot. 1t is impossible to
kill one of these creatures, even with
sealing gun, so long as his head or tail is
towards you; so that the only way is to
aim at the side of the head, so as to strike
at the base of the skull The hoods bring
forth their young two or three weeks later
than the harps, and keep farther north
than the others. The fourth species is the
square Upper. 1t is the largest of all,
but is rarely taken on the coast. The
white coats, the young of the harps, are
the most desirable for capture, their oil
and skin being the finest.
