    A llercnles of the Days of the Revolution.
The editor of the Memphis F.ajjle line bc-r-n
examining a number of the Columbia (Vntinol,
printed in Boston, July, 1301, being then in its
35th volume. Under the obituary head ol'the
Crniinnl, sayi the editor, we find the fullnwing
account of the exploits ofn ecottd Sampson :
"Mr. William Dowst, who lately died at Sa
lem, was a man of uncommon 'e and strenj;th
Hi? waa nearly 7 feet high, and weighed 300
weight. The following instances will prove
liia great degree of strength. He wasim board
a privateer in the Inst wnr, which cot tmllf!
the brenkcra olTCapo Breton, when it becunie
necessary Immediately to cast anchor ; but there
being none upon deck, as many handa laid hold
n could get at it, but could not start it ;
Dowst pushed them aside, seized it himself,
brought it upon deck, carried it forward, and
held it upon the timber heads while a cable
wjs bent to it, when he threw it over, and saved
the vessel and lives of the crew, as they were
then upon the point of duahing upon the rock ;
the anchor weighed 700 weight.
M another time, 8 or 10 hands were sent to
Deckel's ship yard from the well known pri
vateer ship Grand Turk.tn bring up a fore yard
tor the ship ; Dowst was among thorn, but na
turally dilatory, he did not at first take ho'd ;
the other shouldered it, but began to stagger
under it, and complained that there was not e
nonph to carry it. Dowst laughed at them, told
thorn hefvould carry it alone on which they
threw it down, and he took it up and carried it
to the ship without assistance.
At ano'her time, when he attended the fish
stakes at Windmill Point, he was directed by
his employer to go for a jackass which was in
an adjoining field ; when Dowst got him to the
partition fence, being in rather a lazy mood, to
save himself the trouble of letting down the
bare, ho took up the beast and lifted him oer, j
and then got upon his bnck, and rode him to the
place where be was to be employed. He once
ruisrd from the ground the anchor of the priz
Hiip Rochainpton, which weighed 1700, and
which four men bad immediately endeavored
in vain to lift upon a bet.
Bripg at Bilboa, in the late war, in a pri
vateer, an English vessel came in, which bad
in its ciew a professed bully, who was chal
lenging every one to combat, and hearing of
Dowst sent a particular challenge to him ; they
met, and the Englishman, who was superior to
our Suinton in the art of boxing, knocked him
down three limes, and the last time twistrd his
fingers into his linir to gouge him, when Dowst
gave him a blow on his arm, which broke it,
and with auuther blow he broke in three of the
bully's ribs, who, it is said, died of his wounds
Dowst, with his amazing strength, was re
murkublygood imtiired, and tentlcr in his feel
ings, and rather of an indolent habit ; but when
he was aroused to anger or exertion his rflorts
were irresistible. He enjoyed through life a
large share of health. For three months pre
vinus to his death he had been afflicted with
t,'ie dropsy, but appeared to have considerably
recovered, and the last day of his life he walked
the greater part of the day, according to hisu.-u-ul
hubit but the next morning his wife tuund
htm dead in bed.
I'uL'it Teusons Killed. Awful deeds of
blood. A gentleman who arrived in Cincinna
ti on Monday last, gives the editor ot the Com
mercial the following particulars of dreadful
deeds ot blood committed on the YVachita river,
in Louisiana, a few days since. lie stated that
two planters living on adjoining plantations had
a difficulty. An unruly horse belonging to one,
jumped into thu lot belonging to the other,
which was shot. Soon after, a tlave, belong
ing to the owner of the horse went over to the
said plantation ; he, ton, was shot. The same
evening, thu planter who owned the horse and
the slave, took his gun and went over to the
planter's house who had thol his horse and slave,
ami, an he ttistd in his yard, deliberately shot
him dead. The eon of the dead plunler hear
ing the reMrt of the gun, came out of the
bouse, when he was commanded to stand. As
si hiii a the gun was re-londed the son was shot
and immediately expired. The daughter of the
planter then came to the door, when the mon
ster drew his buwie knifo and cut her throat
Irom ear to cur, and fled. The slaves on the
plantation raitiid the alarm, and the fiend was
pursued ami taken, and committed to the near
est jtil, lo u vi ait a trial. These awltil terrific
details are from a reliable source and we can
vouch lor their correctness, eays the Commer
cial, although no names are given.
TiioMAa lloon. The punning propensity ol
the lute Thou. as I loud waa well known. A
friend of bis, ulllicUd with the same mania,
Hitd, with tears standing in his eyes: 'Ah poor
fellow ! ho died Irom motives of generosity
wanted lo enable the undertaker lo urn a lire-U-llttoJ.
A Scotch paper mentions the accidental cure
of a theep, left to die of water in the head, by
u boy boring it gimlet into the skull nf the an
imal and thus letting out the fluid.
Wu do not generally put much faith in the
thousand receipts that are floating about but
tbo following, we think, may be depended on :
To keep good apples from rotting place
them in a dry cellar with fourteen children.
'Good humor in wife, is like gold leaf in
ill. It dot cut alter the dose, but it make it

disease eonliuued in this way, still growing worse, :
until rebruary, when sli hope of my recovery was

when my lite was apparen ly drawing near its close,
I heard of DR. W ISTAR'H BALSAM OF

three bottles of this med cine, all my pains wrre
removed my cough and spiting of blood and cor

proof in mv own family, of the wninlerful proa?rtics
of your Depnrative Syrup of Sarsapirilla, I m .st
eonseientioulv recommend It to the afflicted. We
had Ihe nmfortune to lose two of our children, by
the breaking out of ulcerous sores that covered the
face, head and l.er k, although we had some uf the
most fcicniific physicians to attend th m and had
tried all the known remedies, including Swaim'e
Panaci a, without avail. Another of my children
was amifke.l in the same manner, her face and
neck was completely covered; ibe d seharge was so
nftciisive, and Ihe iliseaae al such a he ehl. lhat we
despaired ol her life. Seeing the wonderful effects
ofyniir Depnrative Syrup ol S irsapsriil i, we were
imliii'iil lo make trial of it, as tbe bit rr s rt ; it
aeied like a ce.arm : the u'cers commenced healing
immediately . a fi w bottle entirely restored Aer to
