' A Cat Stort. A philosophical old gentle
man was one day passing a new school house,
erected somewhere towards the setting sun
borders of our glorions Union, when his atten
tion was suddenly attracted to a crowd of per
sons gathered around the door. He inquired
of a boy whom he met what was going on.
'Weil nothin', cept the skule committy,
and they're goin' in."
"G, committee meets to-day 7 What for V
"Well," continued the boy, "you see Bill,
that's our biggest boy, got mad the other day
at the teacher, and so he went all round and
gathered dead cats. Xothin' but cats, and
cats and cats. O, it was orrul, them cats !"
"Pshaw ! what have the cats to do with the
school committee V
"ow, well, you see Bill kept a bringing
eats and cats ; alters a pilin them tip yonder,"
pointing to a huge pile as large in extent as a
pyramid, and considerable aromatic, "and he
piled them. Xothin' but cats, cats !"
"Never mind, my son, what Bill did; what
has the committee met for V
"Then Bill got sick a haulio them, and ev
erybody got sick a nosin' them, but Bill got
madder and didc'f"givc it up, but kept a pilin
up the cats and "
"Tell me what the committee are holding a
meeting for."
"Why, the skule committy are goin' to hold
a meetin' to say whether they'll move the
skule house or the cats!"
The old gentleman evaporated immediately.
Fcxst. A right funny story is told as hap
pening down in the rural vicinity of Mount
Pleasant, Virginia, not long since. Not far
from Mount Pleasant, back in the country like,
there is a tavern called the Franklin House.
Mr. Franklin, the proprietor has two deaf and
dumb daughters, spnghtful, intelligent and in
teresting. By signs they often carry on ani
mated conversations, especially with each oth
er and members of the family. Last week,
two foot travellers stopped for the night, at
this house, and alter supper with the family,
were shown to a room in which was a good
fire and bed for their accommodation. The
kind host on entering the room in the morn
ing found that the bed bad not been occupied
and that his guests had flown. He, however,
found on the table money for their supper,
and a note, stating that in consequence ot
signs made at the supper table by the young
ladies, they did not think it safe to gD to bed,
and therefore paid the bill and took their de
parture. A North Carolina Anecdote. Gov. S.
was a splendid lawyer, and could talk a jury
out of their seven senses. He was especially
noted lor his success in criminal cases, almost
always clearing his client. He was once coun
sel for a man accused of horse-stealing. He
made a long, eloquent and touching speech.
The jury retired, but returned in a few mo
ments and, with tears in their eyes, proclaim
ed the man not guilty. An old acquaintance
stepped up to the prisoner and said :
"Jem, the danger is past; and now, honor
bright, didn't you steal that horse V
To which Jem replied : "Well, Tom, I all a
long thot I took that horse ; but since I've
heard the Governor's speech, don't beliere
did .'"

GREAT DISCOVERY OF TIIE AGE,
IMPORTANT TO TOBACCO CHEWEM
Dr. Gustav Laniard's Taste. Restorative Trotket.
the Great Sidttitute for Tobacco. It is a weli
known and incontrovertable fact that tha use of
Tobacco is the promoting cause of many of the'
most severe MENTAL AND PHYSICAL disorders
to which the race of man is subject, as eureful an'
a'asis and long and painful experience have clear
ly proven that it contaiascertain narcotic aud poi
sonous properties most dangerous in their cffucU,
which by entering into the blood derange the
functions and operations of the Heart, causing ma
ny to suppose that organ to be seriously diseased.
TOBACCO affects also she eutire nervous system
manifesting itself as all who have ever used the
noxious weed will bear testimony ia La&ita4,
nervous irriiaoiiiiy, atcr lirash, JJyspepsia, and
many other disorders of a similar character. The
Taste Restorative Troches"' are designed, to cobd
tcract these baneful influences, and have proved
completely successful in a multitude of casvs. and
wherever used. Being harmless in themselves
they exert a beneficial effect upon the entire iti
tern, restoring the Taste which has become vitia
ted or destroyed by great indulgence, complete
ly removing the irritation and accompanying tick
ling sensation of the Throat which are always
consequent upon abstaining from the use of To
bacco, nnd by giving a healthy tone to the Stom
ach, invigorate the whole system.
Persons who are irretrievably nnderminiag
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should use these Troches immediately and throw
off the injurious and unpleasant habit of Tobaceo
Chewing.
These Troches or Lozenges are put up in a con
venient and portable form at the low price of iit
cents per Box. A liberal discount to the Trade.
Prepared solely by the undersigned to when
all orders should be addressed.

for the production of fruits, grains. Ae. The prioo
is $15 to 520 per acre, payable in easy quarter
yearly instalments, within a term of four vearsv
with interest. The terms are made eay, ia'ordsr
to insure the rapid improvement of the land, br

is row being extensively improved by good roads,
and some of the best citizens from New England'
aud the Middle States are erecting large improve

out of Philadelphia Seventy-five houses have
been built in 4 months. Practical farmers and bu
siness men from tho length and breadth of the C
nion are settling there. It is an important busi
ness place, on account of its being in the midst ef
great market. Every article raised on this lamt
finds an immediate sale. The water is excellent,
and no such thing as fever is known. The soil is
a sandy or clay loam, with a clay bottom and rs
tentire. ot manures. It is free of stones and easily
worked It abounds largely in the phosphates
aud such is its fertility that from the crops pro
duced both upon this land and the area adjoining-under
cultivation, it will be found cot lo be

adapted to its market. The reader uit be weU
aware that the earliest and the best fruits and ver
etablcscome from New Jersey, which are annual
ly exported to the amount of millions of dollars
1 he land, besides being accessible ia everv way
for fertilizers, has an abundant supply of the best
quality of muck manure.
Lumber and building materials can be had on
the spot at a cheap price, from the mills Other
