A Handsome Present.

MeSses. Mclaughlin & Mckinley re-
csived handsome present yesterday from
gentleman friend in Wetzel county. 1t is
nothing less than one of the handsomest
wildcats, or cstsmounts, ever csptared in
the State. The story Of the capture OF the
beast is very interesting, but too long to
print. Jim" as he is called, is q year
old, and as noble looking fellow as they
get them up he can be seen at the
Metsrs. Mes place on Water street.

these places. 1t is, however, an excel

The common cottonwood or white
wood possesses most of the advantages
of the Eastwood and sycamore, but in
an inferior degree. It is not as beauti-
full, and does not produce, so dense a
shade. When the trees stand at some
distance from each other and are kept
properly pruned they are quite attract

KEATS, LOVE LETTERS AT AUCTION.

These are the lettersNShich Endymic wrote
To one he loved in secret and apart,
And low the brawlers Of the aucJlon-mart
Bargain and bid for each poor biotted note,
Ave! for each separate pulse Of passion quote
The merchant s price! think they love not art
Who break the crystal Of poets heart,
That small and sickly eyes may glare OK gloat.

With torches through the midnight, and began
To wrangle for mean raimenS, and to throw
Dice for the garments of a wretched man,
Not knowing the God wonder, or his woe!
