was the son of Christian Meese, who was in the
war of1Sl2, Daniel was one of sixteen children,
four brothers and twelve sisters. He was sue

So the Silver Bill, as amended in the Senate,
passed the Honse, but met with square.toed
veto at the hands Of the President after which it
went through Congress by express over thathome
spun check We see no reason why the old.
fashioned silver dollar should meet with such OPP
position. Centuries before, and even since the
days of COrtez, who so treaCherOusly entered
Mexico and cruelty robbed Montezuma of his gold
and silver and Pizarro, with equal inhumanity,
dealt with the Inca of Peru, to obtain the riches
of that people, has silver been considered prec.
ious metal and of intrinsic value; and it seems
strange that never in this nation was the cry OF
down with silver so vehemently raised as OF late.
Why they would have us believe, that with the
enforcement OF the bill just passed, silver will be
as pig-metal or spelter, and about as worthless
lying around loose and no owners. Now that the
bill has become law let alllook with confidence
for, and use every effort to bring about, better
times.
We notice the introduction of bill In the State
Legislature to crop off some Of the expenses re-
sulting from the present school law. This is GER
tqinly move in the right direction. If persons
have an opportunity to become well acquainted
with the common branches Of an English educa'
tion, free they ought to feel quite thankful; then
if they desire to advance in dead languages, &C.,
let them be at the expense, and not ask too much
of public, hitherto, and yet, very generous. In
most cases where persons of limited education,
or otherwise have gathered together fair share
OF this worlds goods, it has been by hard knocks,
and it seems as though they ought not to be asked
to school strangers so much. BARKER.
