Skating —On Saturday last the whole
town seemed tube struck with the skating mania. The
pool was alive with people, of every rank, color and po-
X on Ministers, lawyers, bankers and merchants, young
gentlemen and young ladies, old and young, of every cl.s.
X variety, were on their skates making the air ring
w,th gleeful shouts- As we are not posted in the science
we will not venture an opinion as to who performed best.
We noticed, however, some very fair skaters in crinoline.
gflr An exchange says : " Boys, be kind to
your sisters. Yon may live to be old, and never find such
tender, i ov j,ig rrieud as these sisters. Think of how
many things they do tor you ; how patient they are with
- oo; how they love you in spite of ail your ill temper or
rudeness ; bw thoughtful they are for your comfort,and
he you thoughtful for theirs Be ever ready to oblige
them, and if they express a wish, be teady to gratify it.
It possible- Too do not know how much happiness you
will And in so doing."
Our devil—foolish fellow—says if you have no sister of
roar own to "be kind to" be kind to somebody- else's
iister. You will find it just as agreeable.

possesses those qualities which it is said to combine. —
Such is Dr. F'esenhut's Stomach Bitters, which are man - j
ufactured only bv himself, by extracting that part of the j

re purely vegetable, no narcotic or mineral being used, j
It is found to be au excellent medicine tor purifying the j
blood aud keeping the stomach and digestive organs iu a

coughsaad colds— creates a good appetite, and operates
upon the whole system with advantage.

him more thoroughly md minutely than ever before.—
We fbuud him to be a shrewd and far-seeing politician,
gome charge this to his account—ire do not. We also
found him a man of broad and unaffected benevolence—
| hence he took the humane and benevolent side of politi
cal as well as all ether questions. The intrinsic and un
mitigated evil of Slavery led him early to set his face
firmly against its extension. He was a man of energy—
a worker of no mean capacity. Had he not wronged him
self more than he wronged others, he would have work
ed himself into higher and more important public posi
tion. Although he had tauils, he had virtues; and to
every one of the former be had a score of the tatter.—
We learned to have charity for those faults, and the mor

i his virtues—among which was that of never forsaking

such as to in any way interfere with the discharge of the
regular duties of his office.

being the " best F.udless Chain Horse Power in use."
These Powers possess conveniences and advantages pos

EMERY'S NEW PATENT
THRESHER AND CLEANER
This a new Machine, and has not before been intro
duced into this region. It has no endless chain straw
carrier, but separates all kinds of jjiaii; thoroughly from
the straw, by a combination of Pitts' Endless Canvass
felled Apron, a new Improved Revolving Picker, and
the well known Vibrating Riddle. It is a simple, durable
and efficient Machine, will thresh rapidly and clean thor
oughly. vT'thout wasting, all kinds of grain. It will not
choke, run c.osily and steadily, without jumping, and is
warranted to be superior to the common Rake Cleaner
now in use. It remains to be seen and tested, to be
pronounced by every experienced hand at threshing, to
be an admirably contrived and constructed Thresher and
Cieaner.
