My neigbbor Nat j. told me that the Legis-

feet propped up on the fender; that they burnt
only the best young hickory, and lived Cd
spring chickens and oysters. For my part
didn't know where they get their spring chick
ems from this cold weather unless they come
all the way from Florida; and that they were
making new laws for the State. thought
they bad laws enough to bother the heads OF
all the people and the lawyers too, but it seems
they are not satisfied get. | wish you would
tell them for me that they don't remember the
promises they made to me last summer when
tbey came around electiDneeripg Aunt Sal

Il have nine voting sons) we will do our very
best for you at Richmond" Well, have nt
heard from one Of them since, and all ask OF
them is to pass law for some medical man to
fad out what the chicken cholera is, aud the
cure for it. Last year had fifty hens and
made seventy-6ve dollars off of them clear. l
gave thirty cents apiece for them, and the
cholera has killed every last one but one. [
tried the remedies, polk root, salts, vinegar,
opium and calomel The old man and all my
