CALL A MAN,
Any one who is dispoied to try a
laugh will do well to read on :
John Jackson was a very industri

three years. Being the eldest child
and the only son, he had always re
mained at home, assisting his father
upon the farm. John was much re.
spected by every ono in the neighbor.

had secretly , thought that she would
like to change her name to Mrs. John
Jackson. Bpt John was no "ladies'
man." The fact was, John was very
bashful. He would rather hoe pota
toes all day than undergo the me
traony of an introduction to a young
lady. Not that John disliked the
dear creatures; far from it. We be
that he, In comminr - with all
'bashful, well. meaning men, entertain

- was the principal cause for his bash.

perior beings, and that be was unwor

of equality. But we cannot stop to
Moralize.
- Nancy Clark was the daughter of
a respectable farmer, whose lands ad
joined the Jackson farm. Nancy was
a prdtty saucy, little witch, and she
liked John Jackson. When they
were children they attended the same
- school, and as he was arm years her
senior, was usually her champion in
slier childish disputes that are, and
her companion in going and return
ing. At last John became so meal
.of a young man as to be kept from
sellout. John discovered too, that he
Was growing in stature, and it seemed

alined to-think he .Was not , more than
half put together.
Now the truth was, John Jackson
was really a fine looking young man,
and -nothing but his admiration of
.Nancy could have suggested any such
foolish thoughts about himself.
As novelists say, it was a. lovely
day in August. The heavens were
clear, serene and beautiful, the trees
were laden with golden fruit, and the
beautiful birds twittered their songs
of love in tbe branches. Earth—
t(there—ws'ce slid down to earth once
(more; such lofty flights—they make
our bead dizzy.) We were about to
say that "earth had yielded her boun
tiful harvest of a year's grass, and
clover, and honeysuckles, which the
noble yeomanry of Chesterville had
garnered within their store-houses"
but upon a second thought have co

gon e no "heath's Mill" to get some
wheat ground, and John was left to
repair some tools, to be ready on the
morrow to commence mowing the
meadow grass. Suddenly it occurred
to John that If he remained about the
house in the afternoon, he would be
called in fit tea time and required to
do the honors of the table. To avoid
this he quietly shouldered his scythe
and stole away to the meadow, half
a mile distant, fully resolved that be

dark that he could not see to mow,
and avoid seeing the girls.
The meadow was surrounded on all
sides by a thick forest, which effeetu- ,

the heat was concentrated. John
mowed and sweat—sweat and mowed,
until he was obliged to sit down and
cool. off. 'Then it occurred to John
that if he took off his pants, he might
be much more comfortable. • There
could be no impropriety in it, for he
was entirely concealed from observa
tion; and there was not the slightest
reason•to suppose that he could be
seen by any person.
So John stripped off, and with no
cover save his linen—commonly call.
ed shirt—he resumed his work. Ife
was - just . congratalating himself upon
the - goOd.time he was having, and the
itiCky escape - Iva had made from•"meet
ing the girls, when ho chanced to dis
turb a - huge - bTaek anaire - ra genuine
twister with a white ring around his
neck.
Jobn was no coward, but was mor
tally afraid of a snake. "Self.preser-
Vition" was the first "Passage' that
flashed upon John's mind. Dropping
his scythe_ and spinning round like a
top, he was ready to strike
. a
gait, when at that moment the snake
was near enough to hook his crooked
teeth into John's shirtjust above the
hem. With a tremendous spring he
then_ darted off with tbe`speed of a lo
cosnotiVe. His first jump took the
snake clear from the ground, and as
John stole a hasty glance over his
shoulder, he was horrified -to find the
reptile securely fastened to the ex.
tremity of his garMent; while the
speed with which , he rushed forward
kept the serpent extended at an an
gle of ninety degrees with his body.
Here was a quandary. If he stop
ped, the snake would coil about his
body - -and squeeze' hint to death; if he
continued the race, he must soon fall
froth sheer exhaustion. On he flew,
scarce daring to think how his dread.
ful race was to end. . Instinctively he
had taken the direction of home, a
feeling of security came over him.—
Suddenly flashed .across his mind the
true state of affairs—his father gone
—the quilting, and worst of-all,,the
girls! This new horror sent the blood
back, curdling about his heart, and he
came to a dead halt. The next mo
ment he felt the' body of the cold,
clumsy monster in contact with his
bare legs, his tail creeping around
them in a sort of Cozening manner,
as though his snakeship only medita
ted a little fun, by way of tickling
John upon the knees.
This was too much fer human en
durance. With a yell, such 'as man
never utters save when in mortal ter
ror, poor John again set forward at
break-neck speed, and once more had
the pleasure of seeing the snake re
sume his horizontal position, some
what after the fashion of the tail of
a comet.
On, on he flew! John forgot the
quilting, forgot the girls, forgot V
rything but the snake.
His active exercise, (he bad paid
particular attention to his running)
together with the excessive heat, bad
brought on the nose-bleed, and as he
ran, cars erect and head thrown back,
his chin, throat and shirt-bosom were
stained with the flowing stream.
_ His first wild shriek had startled
the ituiltdrs,and forth they rushed,
wondering if some mad Indian was
not prowling about. By this time
John was within a few rods of the
barn, still running at the top of his
speed, his head turned so that he
might keep one eye nn the snake,
and with the other observe what
course be must take. The friendly
burn now concealed him from the
sight of the
. girls. He knew they
were in the yard, having caught a
glimpse of them as they rushed from
the house.
A few more bounds and he would
bo in their midst. For a moment
modesty overcame fear,' and once
more he halted. The snake, evident
ly pleased with his rapid transporta
tion, manifested his gratitude by at
tempting,to enfold the legs of our he
ro within his embrace.
With an explosive "ouch!" and urg
ed forward by "circumstances over
which he bad no control," poor John
rushed on. The next moment he was
in full view of the girls, and as he
turned the corner of the barn, the
snake came round with a whiz, some..
what after the fashion of a horse-whip.
Having reached the barnyard to
his dismay he found the bars up.—
But time was too precibus to bewast
ed in letting down bars. Gathering
all hiS strength, he bounded into the
air, snake ditto, and as he alighted on
the other side, his snakeship's tail
cracked across the upper bar, snap
ping like an Indian cracker.
Again J oh'n set forward, now utter

girls, for the extra tickle from the
snake's tail, as he- leaped the bare,
banished all his bashfulness and mod

his solitary garment.
The house now became• the centre

John rushed into the honse_and to

That night he walked hbine with

A SET TO BETWEEN ;A MAJOR
GENERAL AND A WAGONER.
The following anecdote is. highly
characteristic of the period of our
history in which it occurred, and of
the persons to whom it relates.
Captain Crawford, of Virginia—
the same who afterwards, under the
name of Col. Crawford, was taken
prisoners,• inhumanly tortured, and
murdered by the lndians—was march
ing a company from the frontiers of
his own State to the Ohio river. The
occasion is not exactly known ; it
Might have been during Braddock's
expedition in 1736, or in some of the
expeditions previoas to Dunmore's
war, which occurred in 1774. From
the ages of the parties, we rather in
cline to the former date. Crawford's
men were of course, hunters and farm
-
era from the outskirts, of Virginia
settlements—most probably- , young,
daring, hardy, volunteers, of the same
class at; the pioneers who shortly af
ter that period over-ran the forests
of Kentucky; and he himself was a
bold enterprising man„ Previous to
his leaving the neighborhood of the
settlement, Crawford, from some ac
cident found himself in want of the
means of transportation for some of
his baggage or stores .and at a place
where he halted in the woods fortu
nately fell in with a wagoner who had
stopped his horses to rest at the same
spot. In such an emergency Captain
Crawford felt no hesitation in pressing
the team and its driver into the serv.
ice, and accordingly communicated
his designs to the-wagoner. The lat
ter, highly incensed, was inclined to
resist what he considered an oppres
sive act ; but he was alone in the
midst of a military band, who wore
ready and able at a word, to enforce
their commander's order. The wag
oner was a ~areatigigantic two fisted
square built, fellow, who bore an his
face the marks of' many a hard
fought battle. He was a noted
bruizer. He received- Captain Craw
ford's order with an air of great dis
satisfaction, and remained for a mo:
ment'silent, looking sullenly at the
troops, as if indignantly measuring
their strength against his own weak
ness. And then observed to the Cap
tain, that it was hard be forced to
go against his own will—that 'every
man ought to have a fair chance—that
he hrogVka fair chance, inasmuch as
the oddfilftere so great against hi in its
to deprive him of the power of pro
teeting :his own right. Ho would
however make a proposition, which
he thought the Captain was bound in
home to accede to; will fight you,'
said he, "or any man in your compa
ny. If I am whipped I will go with
you cheerfully; but if I conquer, you
mast let me off." In making this
proposal the wagoner showed him
self
an able negotiator. He either';.
knew Crawford's character, or he had
read it during the interview.. The
Capt. was an expert woodsmen, stout
active and chivalrous, and prided him.
self on his personal prowess for which
lie had obtained some celebrity. To"
have declined the wagorier's challenge
might have seemed to indicate a-want
of manhood—it-might-have lessened
him in the eyes•of his men—and his
own disposition and code of ethics,
perhaps, suggested that the wagoner
was entitled in justice to the fairchance
which lie claimed. He accordingly
accepted the challenge and both par
ties began to strip for the combat.
At this moment a tall young man,
who had 'recently joined the company
and was a stranger to most of them,
who bad been leaning carelessly a
gainst a tree, eyeing the scene with
apparent unconcern, stepped-forwards
and drew Crawford aside.. 'Captain,'
said he, "you must let me fight that
man ; he will whip you." Crawford
was not willing to appear-to back out
but the youth insisted that to have
the Captain beaten, which would be
the mutt if he
,persisted, would tar
nish the honor of the company, -and
moreover, that he himself was the on
ly man who could whip the wagoner.
The confidence of the youth, and-some
thing about him which inspired confi
dence in others, enabled - Mint° carry
his point. Capt. Crawford having
done all that policy required, in
.ac
cepting the challenge, very prudent.
ly suffered himself to be persuaded
by his men to let the stranger take
his place.
The two combatants were soon
striped and prepared- for the fight.—
There was a. disparity in their ap
pearance, the odds being decidedly in
favor of the wagoner'.: was in
the vigor of life, big, muscular, hard
ened by exposure, and experience in
affairs of this,kind. The y9o,h, who
when clad in his huating shirt,

ed 'slender, , now showed himself' to
be a young giant. His frame had
not yet acquired the fullness, the corn.
pactness, and the vigor of ripe man."
hood which it afterwards possessed to
so high a degree—his limbs seem-
ed to be loosely hung together, but
his bones and muscles were enormous
and his eye full of courage.
4 . The conflict, though bloody, was.
short. The wagoner completely and
terribly beaten. The youth sprung
on him with the ferocity of an- enrag
ed tiger, and the battle was no long
er doubtful. Whenever the tremend
ous youth struck it' inflicted a severe
wound. The blood - flowed every blow;
and the wagoner, who had been the
victor in many a hard fought field, in
a few minutes lay mangled and ex
hausted tit the feet' of his vanquisher
Who was but little, if at all hurt.
That youth was Daniel Morgan,
who had now, for the first time taken
the field against the enemies of his
country as a private soldier; who af
terwards rose to the rank of Major
General, who so often-led our armies
in battle and who was perhaps more
frequently engaged with the enemy
than any other officer of the Ameri

The Union - Ticket.
wk. RANK AND THOS. KRAMER,
The candidates on this ticket for
Associate Judges, are highly qualified
for the position. Mr. Rank is on the
bench now; and men of all parties will
concede that he his heretofore dis
charged the duties of his office with
dignity and fairness. His valuable
experience if
.re-eleeted, will . be' of
great service to the public. Mr. Kra
mer, is a highly respectable citizen of
Londonderry :township, be is a J us
tice of the Peace of this county, and
has been serving the public in that
capacity for nearly twenty consecu
tive years. Although the township
is strongly Republican, he has been
elected and re-elected by large major
ities. This is strong evidence of his
popularity among his neighbors. Mr.
Rank is a Republican while Mr. Kra
mer is attached to the Demberatic
party.
ISAAC HOFFER,
Tho candidate for the Legislature,
resides in this borough. He is a Sur
veyor and Scrivener by profession,
and is a gentleman of undoubted
integrity and fitness for the place.
These are merits which will strongly
recommend hint to the public. He
belongs to the Republican party.
JONATHAN BENDER,
The Sheriff candidate, resides in
Jackson township. He is a man of
spotless character, and universally
conceded to be fit for the office. He
is getting to be an old man, is gener
ally known throughout the county,
and no' man resides in it who is more
generally beloved by the people. His
antecedents are Republican.
HENRY SU:GRIST,
The candidate for Prothonotary is
the popular host of the Eagle Hotel.
He is favorably known over the whole
county, and has hosts of friends. He
will make an accommodating and
popular officer. His antecedents are
Democratic.
JOHN. A.LLWEIN,
The candidate for Treasurer, resides
in Annville: Ho is a most worthy
citizen, and is highly qualified for the
office. He is highly esteemed by his
neighbors, and will poll a very large
vote. His antecedents are Democratic.
JACOB BUCHER,
The candidate for Commissioner,
resides in South Lebanon township.
He is a farmer, and his experience,
and capacity will make him .a valuable
acquisition to our Board of Commis
sioners. The affairs of the county
will be safe in his hands. His antece
dents are Democratic. . •
ELTAS IVALBORN,
The candidate, for Director . of the
Poor, is a very excellent man. No
man stands higher than be does in - bis
own township. He is eminently fit
for the place assigned him. Ile is a
member of the. Democratic party.
JACOB ZUG,
The candidate for Auditor, is favor
ably known over a great part 'of the
county. lie is a most exemplary citi
zen, and the people will. honor_them
selves by .voting for him. Ho is a
.member of the Republican party.
A better ticket than this, taken as
a whole, has never been presented to
the people of Lebanon County. None
of them was an applicant fbr office, but
they were 'selected by their fellow
citizens for their higher qualifications,
and pure private character.
They stand uporra. true Union plat
form, and all those who think that the
country should be exalted aboveparty
will now rally to their support'
AN ELECTIONEERING SCHEME
. The rapacious .office.seelicra of this
Borough, who love their party only
for the sake of 'the offices which it,
has at its disposal, are doing their
utmost to stir up dissatisfaction among
the Democrats and Union Republi•
cans in regard to the Union ticket.
When they meeta.Republican whom
they suppose they can influence they
say to him, "sow, I hope you are not
such a fool as to vote the Union tick
et. The Democrats will anyhow cheat
you. 'lt is understood between them
that they will vote for their men on the
ticket, but not for those of - your par
ty. You may rest assured you will
be .cheated." - And when thy meet
a Democrat they in turn discourse
thus to him : "Well, .do you know
that the Republicans are. going to
cut your men ; Ci the Union. ticket ?
That is their. purpose.. I know it, be
cause Lhave it from good authority.
,
If.they can only eleet.their men, that
is.. all -they care about. They Will
cheat you. Mind what I tell you.—
Sooner than vote the Union ticket if
I were in your place, . I would not vote
at- all."
This they have repeatedly done to
our knowledge since the Union ticket
has been put in nomination. Their
backers and paid hirelings are using
the same arts in the country to help
their ticket by inciting.distrust among
the friends of the Union ticket.
True. Union - men who love their
country above party, as we all should
do, let us tell you not to suffer your.
selves' to be influenced by these rep
resentations of the enemy. The Un
ion ticket which has been fcirmed, has
love of
,cotliztry for its foundation, and,
we 'know that an undivided support
will be . given to the whole ticket by
all Union:loving citizenii, of both - par-.
ties..
Stir The Democrati of Alassachu•
setts have nominated Isaac Davis, of
Worcester, for Governor, and Edwin
C. Bailey, of Boston, for Lieutenant
Governor. The resolutions of the
Convention are strong in favor of the
maintenance of the Union.
sert The. Legislature . of Maryland
attempted to meet. at Frederick, on
Wednesday last. but the National ad
ministration ordered several compa
nies of volunteers to invest the town,
while detachments of the Baltimore
police arrested and dispersed the of
ficers and members. Eight or ten
members, additional to those previ
ously arrested, were confined in Fort
McHenry, thus effectually preventing
the session.

pretty good general trade this'fall.
HOW TO HAVE GOOD CIDER.—Pro
fessor Horsford, of Harvard Univer.
sits, has recently published a recipe
for improving and preserving cider,
by means of -which the progress of
the vincous and acetic fermentations
may be arrested at pleasure, and the
cider preserved in just such a- state
as may be desired. A correspondent
of the Boston Journal says:
Put the new cider into clean casks or barrels,
and allow it to ferment from one to three weeks,
according as theweather is cool or warm. When
it has attained to lively fermentation, add to each
gallon threst fourths of a pound of white sugar,
,and let the whole ferment again until it posseesis
nearly the brisk pleasant taste which it is desira
ble should be permanent. Tour' out a quart of
the cider and mix with it one quarter of an ounce
of sulphite of lime fur every gallon the cask con
tains- Stir until it is intimately mixed, and
pour the emulsion into the liquid. Agitate the
contents of the cask thoroughly for a few minutes,
then Jet it rest that the cider may settle Fer

called champagne wine.
Professor norsford, of Cambridge, :was the first
to use the sulphite of tune. for this purpose, and
to him is due the credit of first milling attention
to its usefulness. It is in no Testiest deleterious

sulphurous acid, is entirely insoluble, and remains
at the bottom of the vessel.

RIJINOCEROS EXCITEMENT
The Rhinoceros lately belonging to
Dan Rice, which was lost in the riv
er while 'en route to this, city from
Prairie du.Chien, is stilt in the slough
five miles below here, where he was
when our paper was issued ou Monday.
He has 'been out of the water four
times-since, confirming his depreda•
tions to the corn fields of Henry
Manger adjacent to the slough.—
Messrs. Munger. and Wrightson, who
were so badly scarced by the monster
on. Sunday last, assisted by several
sportsmen-from the city, fixed a plat
form from the branches of
.the trees
finder which the animal passes coming
in and going out of the water, from
which they suspended ropes .so that
when it came out to feed, they could
get a Slipping noose over its head.—
Three large ropes were attached to
the limbs of the trees, and five men
stationed on the platform to man.
age them. After waiting three boars
yesterday the monsterwaddled out of
the slough, snuffed the air, shook the
water tri.,m his eyes, and with u heavy
tread clambered up the bank towards
the corn field.
As he passed under near where the
Men Were stationed, they succeeded
in getting one of the nooses over his
- head, but could not tighten it till the'
rope was around his body, when with
a sudden -try-of surprise, following by
a- sort of-a bellow, he wheeled and
made for the water. The single rope
was useless, as it brelte -the large
limb of Lhe tree to whicb it was- at
tached, causing the men to come
tumbling down to the ground, while
the monster rushed ler the water,
with sixty ocid.feet of inch rope to
its body. _ '
Ban Rice has sent an agent to super
intend its capture. who will give $2,
000 to the party who will capture it
alive. Long poles have been firmly
planted in the bed-of the slough, so
that the animal cannot escape by any
possibility. IV,hen_the cage-sank, it
pulled loose, as its nose is badly lac.
crated from the giving way of the
muscle in which the ring was fixed.
The fanners in that vicinity are in
great tear, and insist that a cannon
shall be sent them with which to for
ever stop the reaming of this Behe
mob of the antediluvian ago, but the
agent of Dan Rice will nut consent,
as the animal is worth alive,s2o,ooo.
Thousands ofpeoplo visit te place
daily, in hope to aid the capture of
much game, which is a trifle larger
than this county usually affords.—

ANOTHER RAILROAD MASSACRE
Over one hundred Troops killed and,
wounded
CINCINNATI, September 18.—Last night,
about half past eight o'clock, a train on the*
Ohio and Mississippi Railroad, containing
a portion of Colonel Torchin's Nineteenth
Illinois Regiment, while pass'ng over a
bridge, near Huron, Indiana, one hundred
and forty-three miles west of Cincinnati,
fell through, killing and wounding over
one hundred soldiers.
Four passenger cars were precipitated
Into the creek, and one box and one bag
gage-car fell on top of them. These care
contained companies E, F, G, and I, and
the latter two companies are the principal`
sufferers. Captain Howard, of Company
I, is among the killed. Up to 11 o'clock
this morning about thirty killed have been
taken out, and more are supposed to be•
beneath the wreck. A train -is on the.
way here with ninety-two wounded.—
The impression at the scene i■ that there
have been from forty to My killed.—
There seems to be but little doubt that the'
bridge had been tempered with by mali
cious or traitorous persons. The bridge
was sixty fret span and ten feet high, and,
was only recently inspected.
NAPOLEON'S WIVES.
Between the two wives of Nepoleort
there existed a great and surprising con
trast. Josephine was all art and studied
elegance, Maria Louisa all nature and
simplicity; the one had something of au
dacity in her manners, the other a remark
able diffidence, which often approached
to timidity; the lormer had considerable
talent, which she delighted to exhibit be+
fore a numerous assembly; the latter had
an understanding much less brilliant bid
at the same time solid for one of her years;
Josephine was formed for the applause o
the saloon; Maria Louisa for the . endear
ments of domestic life. It is surely sing
tiler that the artificial character should be
the daughter of a West India planter, and
the natural one, a princess of the proudest
house in Europe. In other respects, both
were women of great sweetness of dispo
sition: both Ihndly devoted to Napoleon.
