ARK YOU ASSESSED!
Let every Democrat, and overy man who is
intending to vote the Demooratio tioket, attend
at onee to being assessed. Your vote depends
upon it. The election occurs on the 9th of Oc
tober. You must be assessed at least tbs days
before the election or lose yoar vote. See the
assessor and then the oolleotor of taxes at once,
and havo the thing done right. wait till
the last day, for the assessor may not then be
fohnd.
We invite attention to the address of the
Executive Committee. The charaoter of onr
candidates is there set forth, and vouched for by
a committee large in numbers, and of well
known and reßpeotable character. No ticket
was ever presented in this county more unex
ceptionable, or more deserving of general and
cordial support.
ggy* We invite attention to the card of Brott
& Curtis, lani agents, at St Anthony’i Falls,
Minnesota territory. They give good references,
and we are assured they are capable, responsible
and reliable gentlemen in their business. Those
wishing to locate land warrants, buy Western
lands, or employ agents in that region, would
do well to address Messrs. Brott & Curtis.
DISTRIBUTION OP CANDIDATES
It has always been the design in Decnocratio
nominations to make snoh a distribotion of the
several offices as will do equal justice as near as
possible to all parte of this county. Let any
one examino our ticket this year and he will find
that this rule has been observed with great fair*
ness. Our convention did not ignore the coun
try folks, and make up a ticket almost entirely
from the city.
Dividing the county into three dlslriota we
have a chance to ascertain the regard to fair
ness and propriety with which our ticket was
selected. The district between the Mononga
hela and Allegheny rivers, including Pittsburgh,
oootains considerable more than a third of the
population of the county. The next distriot in
amount of population is that sooth of the Mon
ongahela and Ohio rivers. The third district is
that portion of the county between the Alle
gheny and Ohio rivers, including Allegheny
city.
To the first named distriot is given five of the
fourteen candidates, to wit: one Assemblyman,
the County Commissioner, the Coroner, the
Senator, and the Sheriff. To the Beoond named
district is given two Assemblymen; the Treas
urer, and the two Auditors. To the third named
district Is allotted the Prothonotary, two As
semblymen, and the Director of the Poor. How
could a fairer division have been made between
the three districts ?
To the oity of Pittsburgh four offices only are
allotted out of fourteen. To Allegheny city
one; and the remaining nine offices, some of
them among the most valuable, are givon to the
country. There is thus left no possible ground
of complaint. No superior merits and olaims
are put forth by the cities. In Democratic es
timation the dwellers in the oountry are as good
as the people of the oities, and all are allowed
equal rights and honors. Teat is Democracy.
Now look at the Know Nothing tioket.
Big hi of the fourteen candidates Live in the
oity. Ten of the fourteen candidates live with
in sight of the Court House. And yet it is said
that one purpose of the new party is to break
down “ Court House oliques.” Only four of the
fourteen offtoes are left for the country districts,
to wit: the Auditors, worth nothing; the Di
rector of the Poor, who must be taken from the
oountry, and is worth little or nothing ; and one
Assemblyman, who Is soleoted for his treachery
to the party that Lately gave him an office.
Booh is the result of one oomparison of the
Demooraoy with Kqow Nothingism. A still
more striking contrast will appear upon exam
ining the merits of the candidates. But that
we must reserve for a future occasion.
Polltlea.l
Langastxe.— The following is the Assembly
tioket nominated by the Demooraoy of this
county : Geo. Sanderson, A. L. Henderson, Geo.
G. Brush, Jesse Reinholo and John Gross. Tbs
Whigs and K. N.’s have each a separate ticket
in Lancaster, so that our chauoes are good.
Adams. —Isaac Robinson, Eeq , is the Demo
cratic nominee for Assembly in this oonnty.
Clarion. —Philip Clover, Esq , the member
last year, has been re-nominated for tho Assem
bly by the Know Nothings in Clarion oounty.
Know Nothing Candidate for Canal
Commissioner!
This order has nominated Peter Martin, of
Lancaster, for Canal Commissioner. He was
prominent before the Republican Convention
until Passmore Williamson’s nemo was men
tioned, when he, as well as all others, were—
nowhere. Against euoh competitors as William
son and Martin, Arnold Plamer will walk over
the oourse.
We understand that Judge Lowrie’s
opinion in the Williamson case was sent to the
Prothonotary of the Supreme Court at Philadel
phia last Saturday. We may consequently ex
pect to Bee it in the papers of that city in the
course of a day or two.

THENEWB;
Col. A. K. Comyn, some years ago a member
of the legislature from Huntingdon county and
an eloquent advooate at tho bar, died in Bloom
field, Perry county, on the 4th instant.
The Wisconsin Demooratio State Convention,
besides nominating a State tiokot, also nomina
ted a tioket for Pmb dential eleotors in 1866.
She is early in the field.
Thomas Franois Meagher is said to have been
retained as oounsel by the murderers of Bill
Poole. The trial will probably come off in Oc
The President has restored Commodore Charles
Btewart to the command of tho Philadelphia
Navy Yard, be having been plaoed upon the
leave of absenoe roll by the Ret.ring Board, with
$3,600 pay per annum.
The Squatter Sovereign, tho organ of the
Know Nothing invaders of Kansas, goes in for
Divid R. Atehison as the next President of the
United States, and hopes that tho next Congress
may be the last.
The imports at Philadelphia, sinoe the oom
menoment of the year to the 13th instant,
amounted to $12,290,216, against $16,023,453r
during the same period last year, whioh exhib
its a decrease of nearly two and three-quarter
millions.
Constitution Day, the 17th of September, was
duly celebrated in Philadelphia by the Democra
cy, by an immense mass meeting, said to be the
largest held in IndependeQoe Square for years.
Eloquent speeches wore made by Hon. Hen
dricks B. Wright, Cel. RichardsoD, of Illinois,
Dan. E. Siokels, of New York, and Col. Thom s
B. Florence.
Governor Roeder has been nominated by tho
Free State men of Kansas for Delegate to Con
gress, and the day of electim fixed one week
later than that Darned by the so called Legisla
ture. The ev dent intent is to ignore the au
thority of the Legislature, and then two Dele
gates will probably bo ohoeen. There will then
be an opportunity for a trial of sovereignties in
Congress.
Thomas Williamson, father of Passmore Wil
liamson, now in Moyamensing prison for makiDg
a false return to a writ of habeas corpus issued
by Judge Kane, has published a letter in whioh
he states that the words “ at any other time,”
in the writ, which wore the oause of bis impris
onment, were suggested by him. He says :
“ Passmore and myself proceeded to the offico
of E Hopper. The ratom was there endorsed
upon the writ, Passmore himself writing it in
the usual form, according to the dictation of his
own oounsel, and having thus proceeded therein
to the proper point, l requested a pause, and
proposed adding th* words—“or at any other
time" —whioh being approved by both Passmore
and his counsel, they «uc accordingly inserted.”
It was a bad suggestion for the father to tnako
and worse for the eon to accept it. We, never
theless, hope the punishment of this man will
not be without its good results. It will teach
the Abolition zealots that “ to be too busy is
some danger;” that they oannot meddle with
another man’s buslnces withoul running a risk
and getting small thanks for their pains.
" Isaac, my dear bou,” said Mrs, Partington,
recently, “being’s you have good larncn, and
know ad about the ooorse on human events,
can't you tell mo if Sebaster Pool, about whom
the papers talk so much, now-a-days, is any re
lation to Bill Pool who was killed in New York
last spring?”— Cm. Commercial.
We don’t think there ie much relationship ex
isting between the two persons. Bill Poole,
just before his decease, it ia well known,deolared
himself to be “a goner," while Sebaster Poul,
from the way she holds out, ia not likely ever to
belong to that family.
Benefit or Mas Duftibld.— As will be soon
by a card in another column, this lady takes a
benefit on Friday evening, on which occasion she
will appear as Meg Merrilles in “Guy Manner -
ing." and Mary Mortimer in the comedietta to
titled “ Naval Engagements.” We bespeak for
her a full house.

KxecaUon of a Boy.
iCorTwpoodviiw of the Orl«nf Ivlu
Alexandria., La , Angoat 27
Tho execution of the boy Frauk, for the mur
der of R*v. J. 8. Weems, took place on Friday
last, the 24th inet. It is strange to say, that
the majority of tho citizens of Alexandria, an 1.
in f&ot, the inhabitants all round, were anitous
to see him executed; and on tho fatal Jay when
it came to pass, there were Dot a deten people
there ! Bome drove forty miles to witness this
painful drama, but he was executed and buried
by the time they came to Alexandria. (Jo the
day before ho was called to fnoe death, Berne
gentlemen visited him, and propounded ques
tions to him; but bis answers wero, and could
be no otbar than childish He was, I believe
only ten years old. The gentlemen told l/.tn the
Sheriff was to bang him on tho next morning
and asked him what ho thought of it, and
whether be had made his peaco with God, and
why be he did not pray ? His answer was— ’* I
have been bung maoy a time !” He was play
log all the time in jail, never onoc thinking that
death was so-n to ol&im him as his viotim. To
show you bow a obiid’e mind ranges when aboat
to die, I will mention that, when upon the
soaffold, he begged to be permitted to pray—
Whioh was grantod—and then he commenced to
cry ! Oh I what a horrible sight it was!
Ves, and what a shameful sight it was for the
people of Louisiana, that hanging of a boy ten
years old 1 If the people in that region burn a
few more negroes and bang a few more children
thoy will be the envy of every Oamancho Indian
who inhabits the State of Texas.
Mas. Pabtinoton at the Badt Show
“Were those three driblets born at a birth ?”
asked Mrs. Partington at the baby show, as sbo
looked at the three fat children on the platfjrm.
Col. Wood blandly Informed her they wer*» not.
“I declare,” said she, “ I should like to know
how they wore brought up, for they are so
heavy they couldn't have been brought up by
h od—lt must have been done by a steam cn
gine.” The oolonel informed her they had been
broaght up by a railroad train. “ Where are
the quadrupeds?” said Mrs. P , looking for the
quatrain. “ They have not come yet,” was the
reply, “ they will be here to-morrow.” The old
lady looked at her informant critioaily. *• Any
how do you know so well,” said she, “ wheo
they will dome ? These things are not as we
say, but babies are born just as it pleases God.
They oan’t be born by order anyhow.” Bho
was informed that they were ooming the next
day by railroad, and not to be born next day, as
she evidently thought. She gave an extonded
“Oh-hhl” like a oypher laid out, ( ©), and
turned her attention to the singular babies on
the platforms. “ Dear creatures,” said she,
tapping her box gently, “ what a great pity it is
that these little beautiful babes should grow up
to be very common looking men and women.”
She gazed upon the parents of the obildren and
sighed as she spoke, but her reflection was in
terrupted by a joggle of her elbow whioh sent
her snuff box rolling upon the floor. A large
gentleman put his foot upon it to stop it, and the
crushed papier maohe sent up a fragrant aloud
as a sneezy ovation to the soene. Ike was ex
pelled from the hall shortly afterwards for teas
ing om of the fat boys with a stick, after ma
king one of the babies ory by making up faces
at it.
Emancipation in Kbntuckt. —The Newport
(Ky.) News, at the suggestion of a number of
prominent slaveholders in Kentucky, proposes
that a Convention be held in Frankfort, to adopt
a plan for the gradual abolition of slavery in
that State. Publio sentiment in Kentucky and
also in Maryland and Virginia, has been under
going a change for some years in respeot to
maintaining the slave institution. Whether the
citizens of those States are prepared yet for
gradaal abolition, the only way in whioh slavery
can be extinguished in a State, will depend a
great deal upon the discretion of the opponents
of slavery in the free States. The fact that a
proposition for freedom comes from slaveholders
themselves, is one of great significance, and
shows that the moral and political bearings of
the question are as well understood among the
intelligent men in the Sooth as they are in the
North.

ADDRESS
Tn the Democratic Citizens of Allegheny
Fellow Citizens : It ia the good fortune of
the Democratic party to have at all timeß ia its
bosom men of tried etera republi
can virtue, of exalted patriotism and of ready
talents, and that iu great publio exigencies snob
men are willing to forego every private consid
eration and enter upon tbo oarecr of publio du
ty , and the intelligence of that parly is never
more fully demonstrated than in the caution i fc
usee iu times of trial and difficulty in its selec
tion tor offioe, of its most elevated oitizens. The
people left to their own free action are true to
themselves, and the delegates of the people re
cently convened as their representatives have,
by their unanimity of aotion and intrepid con
duct, done justioe to tbo confidence that was
plaoed in them. Taking tbo Democratic tioket
as a whole it furnishes a sure safe guard that
the principles of the party, the best interests of
the Commonwealth and the security of the Union
will be fully sustained, and we now look forward
with pride and pleasure to the result of the fall
eleotion, feeling satisfied that with whatever un
mitigated ferocity tbo nominations may be at
tacked there 'n onough of strength in the selec
tion to carry the candidates triumphantly
through the contest.
If we examine into tbo charaoter of the Indi
viduals selected we shall find no ordinary grounds
for the approval of the aotion of the convention.
What party can produoe, what part of the State,
or the Union oan exhibit a porsoo better entitled
to receive the votes of the community than the
venerable man whose name hoads tho Democratic
ticket. He is not our proporty alone, but the
property of the oatioD. l!is fame belongs, as
hie eminent services have all been given, to his
oountry. Ho has filled tho most expired stations
both at home and abroad in a manner that
equally contributed to hie reputation and her re
ooffD —Judge, Legislator., ia the national and io
itbe Btato Councils, Secretary at War, Minister
to Russia, filling ail departments with the ap
probation of his oountry. In tho walks of do
mestic life endoariog himself to his neighbors,
the friend aud advi3er cf his fellow citizeos,
their safe counsellor in private and in public af
fairs, UDwearcd in the exorciso of those qualifi
cations that food to advance tho interests of tho
people of his county and Commouw alth ; in
private life a model of oourtesy and republican
simplicity, asking for nothing of his fellow citi
zens, but ready and willing to serve his country
in every exigency that requires talent and undying
energy. W 1 LLI AM WILKINB in the breadth and
depth of hia character had boeu brought before
the public ns a Democratic candidate fjr tho
Senate. Who shall say him nay H Who is ftero
that can be selected from atnaug the ranks of
our political enemies superior to him in personal
and intellectual worth? Who the ir.d : vidual
who like him has nobly devoted the bc&i years of
an honorable life to bis country’s servico ? Who
amongst them can bring to the duties of high
station his talents, experience acd political wis
dom * If this man ifl not worthy of receiving
the suffrages of his fellow citizens, if even the
madness of party and fanaticism can defeat him,
the most melancholy apprehensions must be ft It
for the future fate of our oountry. Bat he ota
not be defeated in Allegheny county, where a re-'
sideooe of a long life, longer than the couoty it
s- lf, where a love of his person, on identity of
interest with its people, a career marked and
known as his has been, entitles him to the confi
deuce of tbe old and the venoratioD of the you og
la looking beyond the Senatorial nomination,
if wo examine tho Assembly ticket we !-hail find
it composed of men cf firmness aod integrity,
and on whose undeviating Democratic principles
wo have the pledge cf the Conveciiv n that we
may rely.
Mr JAMES B FULTON has been long known
to the pubi c as an icfluentiai and talented mom

bis money, to apply his property to tbo sorvioes
of the party; forwarding express riders, oom
municating information, procuring iuiolligonoe
from all quarters, devoting horses, carriages,
his drivers and riders, without feo or reward, to
every exigency of tbo party, it is but a fair com
pliment to his energy and persiveranoo that he
has been;brought forward;for the offioe of Sheriff
—one to whioh ho is every way adapted, and for
wbioh we havo no donbt bo will receive, as he is
justly entitled to, tho unaulmous voto of the
Democratic party.
Mr JOHN BIRMINGHAM, tho candidate for
Protbonolary, has been for many years active as
a business man engaged on tho nvor, and most
popular in tho various departments he has filled ;
and after a laborious life in pursuit of a oompe
tency, is now engaged with energy in agricultu
ral pursuits, devoting himself to the labors of
his new calling with the same patient industry
whioh be bps always exhibited during an aotive
and stirring life—he is tho very kind of person
fitted for the station to which his Democratic
friends propose to elect him. Tho proof of his
principles is evino d by a loDg career of honor
ablo exertions on behalf of the Democratic as
cendancy, and his business habits eminently fit
him for tho offioe to which the people now seek
to see him advanced.
Who that professes to be a Demoorat has not
heard of THOMAS BLACKMORE, and will not
feel honored in sustaining as Treasurer a man
on whose firmness and integrity, whose intre
pidity in the Democratic oause, and whoße uni
form consistency in the hour of trial is so well
known aud appreciated.
Mr. WILLIAM ALEXANDER, the candidate
for Coroner, is the cl • and firm friend of Gener
al Jackson, a oitixen respeoted for his private

life and his public services, intelligent and faith- |
ful, a Democrat from his early youth, a fit rep- .
resentativc of the principles of his party.
Mr. JACOB TOMER, is still the same ardent
and undeviating Democrat, who in times of par
ty difficulty has always stood forward with heart
and hand, purse, inclination and activity in sup
port of our principles.
Of tho candidates Beleoted for Auditor, one of
them, Mr. JOHN MURRAY, is an effioient, long
continued, aotivo and prominent member of the
party, a man of business habits, capable of in
vestigating aooounts, and one whoso integrity
and firmness the most implicit reliance may bo
plaoed The other, Mr. A. B H’FARLAND,
is a young man who enters tho field of Democ
racy with the ardor of one who is determined
not to ohange in his political course, and bring
ing with him ability and information adaptod to
the situation to which the party wishes to ele
vate him. When wo consider tne miserable con
dition of the financial ooncerna of the county,
tho debts in whi.h a eeries of administrations
has involved as, and the detestable subterfuges
whioh have been so loog used to cover a-d oon
oeal tho depredations made upon the public by
fraudulent eorip and other devices so ruinous
and calamitoas, wo Bhall readily sso that
nothing but an honest Democratic Comissioner,
and Auditors of ability, activity and true to the
Demooratio faith, can cleanse tho Augean sta
bles, and point out to the public the hidden
causes of our present mooied distresses, and
the polluted source from whence they originate.
Mr. JOHN BOYLE, of Indiana township, our
candidate for Direotor of the Poor, is a Demo
crat indeed in whom there is no guile. lie is
already thoroughly acquainted with all tbe duties
of the office in detail Kind and humane in his
disposition, he appreciates deeply the hard con
dition of tho poor ; wise, discriminating and in
flexibly honest, he is the more able to watch
well ibe publio interest, and prevent extrava
gance and waste.
\Ye take the liberty before we conclude to
advert to the nomina iun made by the State Con
vention of the Honorable ARNOLD PLUMER,
for the office of Canal Commissioner. A more
judicious nomination could not well have been
made. He is a veteran in our ranks, of great
probity and ability, and as at all ticnea during
a long life of political honor and consistency
presented himself under tho pauopiy of Denjoc
racy to tbe shaft of its enemies Ho has acqui
red a moderato fortune by prudence, industry
land sagacity, and has on all occasions, when
engaged iu publio servioes, enlisted the same
charaoteristio in tbe discharge of his publio
duties that be has in the attainment of private
prosperity. His private oharaoter is as free
from reproach as his publio oondnet is appre
oiated, and both have been the eabject of fre
quent commemoration by bis fellow citizens. He
ia a man suited to the times, and we feel confi
dent that in the redeeming spirit now pervading
the State, he will insure a triumph to his Demo
cratic friends.
As Democrats, we hold these truths to be self
evident, and stand pledged to maintain, vindi
cate and defend them :
1. The Union, one and indivisible.
'1 The Compromises of this Union, securing
to each State the right to its domestic institu
tions, and that comity between them which au
thorises tbe capture la either of fugitives from
justice or fugitives from labor within the juris
diction of each.
3. The immutable principles guaranteed as
well by the loiter as the spirit of all our institu
tions, and extending as well to States and Ter
ritories ; that in the Ungnogc-of the bill of rights
of our great Commonwealth, “all power is in
herent in the people, and all free governments
arc founded on this authority and instituted for
their peaoe, safety and happiness, and that for
the advancement of these ends they have at all
times an unalienable and indefeasible right to
alter, enforce or abolish their governments In
such manner as they think proper."
4. That as it ia alleged in tho Declaration of
Independence as one causo of our separation
from Great Britain “that tho Parliament was
invested with power to legislate for us forever,”
so we now allege that any attempt on the part
of Congress to legislate fjr territories
formed, or States about to bo formed of them,
upon auy eubjeot ooooected with tboir domestic
institutions other than guarauteoiog to tb-'m a
republican form of government, iB &o usurpation
•vf power unwarranted by the oonstuntion of tbo
country
f> That no human authjrlty oin in any wav
interfere with tho rights of cc tiooionce, and ibui
in tbo manner whioh every other man may caL
hereby each individual has an indefeasible right
i j worship the God of his fathers.
■’< That the acquieiti n cf territory, whether
t-y treaty, by purchase, or by war, is an nr-nrist
p.on i i which the tiood aril treasure of &il the
members cf tbe Union, north and eouth east and
west, have been expended, and tha' all attempt*
to introduce congressional legislation which
eliall diitioguish the right 3 cf the cuo from tbo
other, or withhold or confer privileges, creating
distinction! t etwceo them, is an act of bai faith
and bbould be repudiated by every msn who
ciaans an interest in tbe comintn £oii, is con
uected with the prurponiy. or fe. in of:e [ -.'.riottc
inspiration in the rising glories of hia coontry.
That the Declaration u-f I r,Jepen leuoe n.iv.ng
made it a prominent cause tf cttap’ajut against
ihe Crowu, that “the K.eg b .J fo
prevent iho population <-*f > v ’t- ?r«” f c r that
purpose obttructxng tbe laws f,.r ib*> tinitirriiev
lion of foreigners," ej we comp-Uia th;.( tne
ejir t cf George the 111 ie abroad now as *n tbe
■Uys of tbe Revolution. We are determined to
&b:de by thn declaration cf i-ur fibers, and
tr.a utain the faith by them once net?
w*
Th* first inspiration of Know N<v tili'gism
vrii.v in tb<* Lteast of the British King, and ema
oVit'd from a foreign soil. Ii was first resisted
00 American soil by the patriots of the Revolu
tion, beenuso it wo* not American in name, in
heart, or io hope We held that religious intol

war with the great fi»*®t charter uf fur liberties,
and therefore we are at war with thorn With It
to inspire, aud the Cocsiiiutton to guide, we
enter the oonlest with uu enlarged at, 1 unfalter-
ing trust.
Standing upon these principles. aud upon that
Democratic platform that has so tong sustained
the oharaotor of our country, insured her pros
perity, and contributed to her glory, tho Demo
cratic party, although surrounded by the enemies
of free institutions in every form, and under
every denomination that oau be devised by fa
natiowim, or found in the vocabulary of treason,
will present an immovable front to every enemy,
and rolyiug with confidence in their principles
will fight the battles of freedom, sure of eventual
suocess, and a triumph rendered doubly glorious
from tho difficulties of their position uud the
unscrupulous oharaotor of their opponent?

Food or tub Ancients. —Tho last number of
tho Revue dos Deux Moodes, oooUins a curious
pvasago on tho food of the anoieuts. The coni
mon notion la that the anoienta wero mooh sim
pler in their dishes than we are—peiffiaps so, at
least in earlier days—but, as wo learn here, their
viands were more various ; for, beside tho do
mestic animals and tho game oaton by us, they
ato many animate we never think of touohing
oxcopt In the last extromily. They did not dis
dain tho hedgehog, the donkey, tho cat, tho dog,
nor that horse flesh which, as our sobool geogra
pby used to toll us, “is publicly sold io tho
markets of Norway," and whioh Isidore Geoffrey
Saint Hilaire has recently declared to bo eminent
ly nutritiouß ; nay, what is more, they consider
ed dogflesh to be equal in nutritive value to
ohioken, and plaoed the donkey on a par with
the ox. Pork they oonaidorod the most indiges
tible of all, and fit only for artisans and athletes.
It would bo difficult (says The Leader) to per
suade John Bull to dino off a sirloin of donkey,
or to ask the waiter to bring him “ ribs of dog
with friod toadstools,” so strong is prejudice;
wo eat oyßters, and a few other molluscs, and
Bhudder at the montion of snails- We eat mush
rooms and truffles with gusto, and bolieya all
other fungi to be poisonous. Nor oan famine it
self displaoe onr fears. Had the Greeks bolter
digestions, or were their dogs and donkeys more
succulent than 01 rs ?
“ Tubes was a Feog that Lived in a 'Well ”
—Ono day last week a lady was passing up Essex
street, and when near an “Orange Couuiy”
Milk depot, saw the storekeeper at the door with
his right hand immersed in the milk can. Ho
was making violent demonstrations to obtain
something from the oan, and this attracting the
attention of the lady, she awaited tho result.
Presently the man, who happoned to be a native
of “ Faderland,” drew from the can, by one of
his hind legs, a fine, large-siied ball frog. With
out considering tho injary which he might sus
tain in hia basiness by an e* hibition of this kind,
he unceremoniously dashed the frog upon the
side-walk, a d carried the oan of milk into the
store, where it was duly retailed to his evening
oastomers.— N, Y. Pott.
