A Csw rs 10 . Cow-Bcn Davis Apples, &c.
With q Moral Thereto.

EDrroR CHIEF While your correspondents are
quarreling about the Ben Davis apple and the Chcs-
60 magialen, let me blow little q COW have,
who is not only possessed of comedy and fair exte
rior but unlike kinds Of apples and very many
individuals is chock full of juice and sweetness and
of general excellence and goodness i'm the highest
degree. 1t is an old saying, that the best is the
cheapest" and cows and chickens are no exception
to the rule The feed of my COW has been very ori
nary-ouly corn in the and eornstalks, with few
corky ruta bagas. Besides the milk and cream used
in the family. and pint Of milk furnished daily
neighbor Goddin, have made, during the time
from Dee sth to Feb 18th, fortyone pounds of butter
from her. The butter was weighed, after being
worked dry, pair of Fairbanks scales which
weigh to the quarter of an ounce. Such ought
to be legal tender for all debts public and private
including duties on imports.
Now, about that Ben Davis apple. Mayhap, If il
was named JEFF. Davis, it would taste sweeter to
some. But fighting it is like the fight over the
shield. Both knights were right, both were wrong.
They viewed from different stand points And the
of most of differences disputes and troubles
in this world, is that look at things from different
points of view. have Ben Davis apples in my or
chard, also used to deal in apples Their value de-
ponds upon what You want of them. As u commercial
apple. the b. d. heads the list. Ny COW would be
inferior for a dairyman; she don't give milk enough;
worthless for butcher, because he couldn't get her
fat; neither would she suit villagers, for abe
would 20 the street, and steal hay and corn
out of the farmers wagons. But for the purpose for
which keep COW, she is Of great value.
Thanks to the law Of compensation in Nature what
is lacking in thing is made up in something else.
Everything and everybody is good-fof something.
Cease fighting about the Ben Davis apple. and come
into the Greenback Club, and get religion.

CONVICTION, Ky, May 81.
There has not been for many years. in this country
such q general complaint about ehills and fever.
This depressing disease is now prevailing in many
portions of Kentucky and elsewhere, where the peo-
pie have long attered themselves that they
tirely exempt from its influence. To those who are
thus afflicted, wish to recommend Smiths Tonic

taut. Every we have heard ofusng it, pronounc-
upon it in the very highest terms. We have late
ly used it in our family with marked success. The
ingredients are simple, and the Tonic can be used
freely without any detrment to the constitution what
ever. If the directions, which always accompany ev-
cry bottle are carefully followed, it will in nine ca
out of result in permanent cure whether the
disease be of long short standing.
We take pleasure in recommending this medicine
to the subjects of this disease everywhere, sincerely
believing that the of ii will verify every wcrd We
