Mrs. Dorsey, the mother of Mrs. NJ. f.
Seton, very cstimablc lady, had an attack
of paralysis on Saturday morning last
Her health has been somewhat impaired by
former attack, and the shock given to
her nervous system, on Friday evening, by
receipt of the news of the death of her son
in Richmond Va, was the cause of her
present prostration. At present writing,
her conCition is somewhat improved.

Jacob Harbaugh, of the vicinity of Sabil-
lasvillc. He has been sufferer for some
time, but we were not prepared to hear OF

THE Touring mill leased by ]. G. & D c.
Martin ST., have been of late, so terribly
infested with rats as to make it actually UNI
fit for the business. These cntcrprisng
lcssccs determined to eradicate the evil,
and by judicious utilization of pow der,
percussion and lead, have etfcctualy rid
the mill of the noisomc vcrmin. 1t re-
! i If
half pounds OF powder, one half box of G.
D. caps, good eye and steady nerve.
Now do not be an cgrcgous unrcason,
able, supercrogatory, prcposterous, meta
phorical ass, but be an ordinary, tractablc,
plain common fool, and allow persons bet
ter able to take care of their own business,
certainly, than you are, alone. You will
nc more highly respected, come under the
fifth heatitudc, and better yet, will rid
yourself of that Promethcan vulturc, gan
grCnous envy
