DANIEL BooNE's Swonn.--The Galena
Mercury says:—We have in our posses
sion, at this office, the identical sword
used by Daniel Boone in his many bat
tles with the Indians, in Ohio and Kentuc
ky.
It is a rough looking piece of furni
ture. The blade is short and roughly
made, but appears to be of good steel ;
the haft or handle is covered with a piece
of buckhorn, and the guard is made of
iron wrought to the thickness of one
eighth of an inch. It was the first, and
for a long time the only sword ia Ken
tucky; at the battle of Blue Licks it was
the only one in possesion of the whites.
It was afterwards lost in the Licking
river by Col. Todd,where it lay for seve
ral years, but was finally recovered and
identified by Mrs. Todd as the same
sword which her husband had borrowed
from Daniel Boone.

Thou conquerer of pain.
