AN ANCIENT RITLE.-A venerable rife
made in Virginia, in the year l744, which
would make its age hundred and thirty
years, was lately exhibited in Louisville.
The maker of the now famous rifle was
Jacob Young, but it's first owner has not
been handed do;in. Some time in 1850 it
came into the possession of Mr.. William
Whitley, the grandfather of its present
owner. William Whitley carried it with
him to Kentucky when he went with Boone
and the original twenty-seven colonists
who invaded the dark and bloody ground
and built the little fort at Boonesborough.
Accompanying the gun was large pow
der-horn of beautiful shape, upon which
the following verses are carved:
civilian Whitley, am your horn;
The truth love, lie scOrn.
Fill me with best of powder,
lie make your rifle crack the lowder.
"See how the dread terrifck ball
Make Indians bleed and toreys fall.
You with powder lie supply
For to DEFEND your Liberty.
The belt to which the horn is attached
is heavily ornamented with beads made
Of the quilts Of porcupines which are said
to have been killed in Kentucky This
rifle has an interesting history. 1t figured
in the Indian wars and in the war of 1912.
1t should now be laid up in lavender.

Last Friday night, about o'clock, a
heavy rain storm set in, and the indiea-
tions were that it would be a long one.
Two hours later however, it ceased rain
ing and commenced showing, and before
morning some ten inches of beautiful
snow" had fallen, which at this writing
mostly remains on the ground. Saturday
and Sunday there were more sleighs than
wagons in use, but the mud is beginning
to make its appearance and sleighs are
consequently beginning to disappear.
Sunday night the mercury fell to zero, and
altogether the appearance is quite wintry.
Groveton.
Toohey's hotel at this place was burned
Saturday morning, 18th inst. The fire
caught from defect in the chimney near
the roof and was under such Roadway
when discovered that it could not be
checked. A large crowd was soon on the
spot an6 succeeded in saving the furniture
and removing many of the doors and
windows. 1t was showing fast at the
time of the fire, and there was no wind ;
consequently there was no danger of it's
communicating with adjoining buildings.
The loss we learn is about $4,000, upon
which there was insurance to the amount
of $4,000, held by the Hartford, Etna,
and Home Insurance Companies.

CORNERED.

I suppose there is not in the whole of physi
clans experience anything in human suffering
which calls forth his sympathy and pity to such
an extent as to witness the eXcruciatlng pains of
poor mortal suffering from that fearful disease,
Rheumatism. Heretofore there has been con.
siderable diversity of opinion among medical
men as to the character of this disease; some To-
eating it in the tibrous muscular tissues of the
system, and others viewing it as acute nervous
disorder; but it is now generally admitted to be
disease arising from poison circulating in the
blood, and further, it is admitted that rheumatism
can never be thoroughly cured without extermin-
atng such poisonous matters from the blood by
constitutional internal remedy. We feel confident
that none will feel better satisfied and rejoice
more than the conscientious physician, who has
found out that true cure for this stubborn dis.
ease has been discovered. The following testi-
mony from Boston business man cannot fail to
satisfy all that the

The Sugar Party at Porter Smiths, the

A king OF q most royal line
stood at his gate, az history saith;
He stretched his hand, he made the sign
To put captive there to death.
As those who can no further fly
Turn sharp and grasp the deadly swords,
SO the poor wretch about to die
Abused the king with bitter words.
" What does he say" the king began
To whom his jargOn was unknown.
His Vizier. a kind hearted man,
Who knew that language like his own,
Answered him: "'Oh, my lordl' he cries,
Who stay their hasty hands from blood
God made for such men Paradise
He loves, He will defend the good
The kings great heart was touched at this;
The captive's blood shall not be she'd"
Then-for serpent needs must hiss ~"
A rival Of the Vizier said:
IS 1t IL not decorous hat we
Whose blood comes down from noble springs,
No matter what the end may be-
We should speak truth before our kings.
+" The man who kneels respited here
Abused our gracious. element lord;
There was no blessing, o Vizier-
There was a curse in every word!'
