Whereas, in the dispensation of the l'rov.

where lie was known and hailed as a true
aud worthy Brother of our order, that we
should placcupou our records, and as far
as in our power lies, & tribute to his mem
ory and gome token of our appreciation of
him.
Therefore Kr.tnlccJ , 1st. That in the
death of Brother It. P. Salts man
this Lodge has lost a worthy member, and
one who always conducted himself as a true
Mason, who ever kept in mind his obligations
and duties, and who conducted himself in
that station of life iu which it pleased God
to call him as one ever mindful of the re
sponsibilities resting upon hi in as a II us.
band, Father and a good citizen.
2d. That we condole sincerely with the

has the New Dominion become toward
Amorieausilverpieces that a priced has been
put upon the head of the Goddess of Lib

piece is to rate at forty cents, twenty five
at twenty, ten tt eight, and five at four ceuts.
Whcu wc consider that our estimtitijn for
these argeutiferous counters adds their val

e are almost inclined to chide them for
their disrespect. We at least conclude
that, if wc were a Kenuck, as - we'aro an
American, we would pocket every fifty,
ceut piece we could honestly come by, and
totally deprive ourselves of all toily cent

top of the water, swan to the shore and
jumped upon dry land, and in their drunk

higher class of animals. A wagon load
was caught while they were in this fipsy
condition, and fold in the marked.

if you kill any of my hens, throw them
over into my yard."

discovered Snobbs never had any hens, and
that he had been shooting his own, they

Dr-G-
-, of Sycamore, 111., riding
iu the country one day, saw a sign upon a
gate pott reading thus: "This farm for

old woman, who stood tip,too hanging out
clothes. "I say, madam, when is this farm
going to mil ?" "Just as soou, jir," re

her nose, "as anybody comes along who
