Louis (Missouri) Reveille "Picked Fp," By SOLITATIU It is a common saying in this region, when an individual makes a sad mistake either :Wont his own powers in any matter, ,or those of an antagOnist, that he finds himself "picked up ;" as, for instance when a politician expects to continue in ()dice and finds himself turned ont--a lover builds his hopes on a maiden, and some more fortunate swain cuts him out —a passenger embarks on a boat with the promise of going immediately, and then don't get oil' for two days--or When some choleric man undertakes to \dill) another and gets thrashed himself.— A ease "anttlysses" to these, as a certain Congressinan used to say, occurred on. board one of nor steamers, in which an old boatman, the mate, was sadly "picked up ;" and as he confesses the fact, to case his conscience more fully, we will give his confession publicity. A bustling, farmer-looking customer stepped aboard the boat he belonged to, a few minutes before she pushed out, and holding out a SIO bill on the bank of Mis souri. begged him to change. The mate, thinking it a good bill tostow away held it out to the clerk near him, and asked if it was good. "Oh, yea," says the clerk, "beautiful money," and passed on ;up to the cabin, leaving the mute with .his bill. ~( ;(iod ;is wheat, stranger." says the mate, "I'll cash it!" and forthwith pays hint over Indiana smalrbills in change. In a few minutes oil w - mt the boat, and as she wended her wavfown stream, the clerk and nutty came.again in contact. "Well, Ike. — says the clerk. "who burn ed volt with that counterfeit X on the Bank of 11 - issottri !" "Counterfi!it !" exclaimed Ike, "what do VOll mean “1 mean,” says the clerk, "tlint the :Ills sonri bill you showed me at starting is rather a had lot of money. Where did you *et it!" ...Why, cuss your picture," says the mate, "I gave good money in change for : that-hill, On the strength of your rccom mendation !" "Good ford !" burst in the clerk, "Ita-ha ha-I ho-ho-ho-! was you so eontbunded Lfreen ? Why, it's an old Missouri coun terfeit of the worst kind ;" and here halt' a half dori more joined in, laughing at Ike's los";.. His first impulse tips to leer the spuri ous hill. but, on second thought, he care fully /Wed it up, iiiittlet off his wrath by stirrhig the dee': hands, individually and collectively. The boat had nearly reached Stuithlattd, when an old-fashioned, quiet looking deck passenger came to the mate and asked, as a particular favor, that he would look over any bank bills the clerk might give him in change, as he was not acquainted with western money, and was afraid he might get s,oine spurious depreci ated paper passed upon him. "What kind olmonetr have you got ;" inquired Ike. "A "twenty" on a Philadelphia bank," answered the passenger. "Maybe I. can change it for you," says Ike, eagerly. "I only wish you could," earnestly chimed in the sirenger. "I low will that do ?" enquired Ike, hand ing out his spurious $lO Missouri Bank bill, and a $lO gold piece on top of it. -1 have no objections," says the stran ger, "if the Missouri bill will pa y free." "Try it," says he; and the bills were passed, each pocketing the exchange with a nervous kind of alacrity. As they sped along, every now and then the mate would steal a furtive glance at the deck passenger which would be followed on his part by an anxious look in return. "I) n that fellow," muttered the mate, "1 wish he would get ashore," and at,a wood Yard he tried to leave him, but the stranger hopped oft board and sneaked away back on the deck, where the uneasy conscience of the mate would carry him, every now and . then, to see if the passenger's countenance betrayed suspicion.. At length they reach ed Smithland, and the cause of the mate's disquiet , stepped ,on shore and left the boat. After assuring himself that he had not returned, Ike indulged in a chuckle at his success, and while they were stream ing up stream he entered the cl'erk's office, with a broad grin on his co u ntenance, threw a $2O bill on the desk, and asked him to furnish small bills in exchange for the fimsy." , "What tickles/' you so, - Ike ?" inquired die clerk. Ike leaned hank, and, indulging in a guffaw, related how he had ' , picked up" a greener oue than himself by an exchange. The clerk looked tit the bill, examined 011 C of Presbury's Detectors, and .there found his twenty fully described as a well-known counicdi'it ! It was the clerk's turn now, and his roar at Ike's second mishap drew Me t :intuition of others, who joined in the latiol at the mate's expense: Ike gave his hat u . twist, stuck it tight on his head, and went below without saying a word, but the way he made things move around decks during that trip was hasty—and his own movements strongly betrayed a dispo sition to pick up some deck passenger and throw him over-board A TXII.

GETTYSBURG, PA. FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER ii, 1846. A Goon l'EsT.--IVe heard .a story the other day which is too good to be lost. Farmer Dickens, for so we will call him, one of the neighboring York county far mers, alike noted for his shrewdness and pretty girls, was visited hr' .lo Jenkins,un der the pretence of trading oxen, while the real object was to secure one of Farmer Diaens' daughters. Finding no wa v to accomplish the real object without a direct appeal to -the old matt, , lie ventured to pop the f l uestion, and received in return a deci ded negative. .lo was not shrewd enough to manage for the gir Is. Jo, nothing daun ted. pushed the trade in oxen, and in spite of die farmer's shrewdness, succeeded in a bargain by which the old mam found him self essentially “shaved." At the next ap pearance of Jo at Farmer Dickens' all was changed, and the old man at once declared that he might go ahead, for if he was shrewd enough tocheat h im, he could risk hint with the gals. Jo went ahead; took possession of his desired object, and thus far has shown that the old man was not in error as to his conclusion.—Eag/e. Pinist DENT PoLk's TEsTimoN V.—The Washington Union, speaking of the hilts try of the President, says he is not a man of robust constitution, and his good health and great ability to endure confinement and intense labor are attributed to his regular and temperate manner of life, and the faet that the Sabbath with him is a day of rest. On that day his doors are all closed, and he refuses to see all company, however dis tinguished may he the vistor. Ile always attends church. 110 has often been heard to remark. since lie has been President, that all the institutions of Providence were wise, but none of them more so than the lusiihctiuit (f the ,S'abbalh; and that, on every Almulay morning he entered upon the duties of the week refreshed and invig orated from the rest of the preceding day.' A lIINT FOR BACISELORS.—The contrast of the single and married state is thus beau tifully described by Bishop Taylor:—,Sin gle life is like a fly in the heart of an ap ple: hi' dwells in sweetness but lives alone, and is• confined and dies in sigularity.— But marriage, like the useful bee, builds a house-and gathers sweetness from every flower, and sends out colonies and feeds the world, and obeys kings, and their_ou der, and exercises malty virtues, and pro motes the interest of mankind, and is that state of things to which God bath designed the present condition of the world." 111s•rs :ro Yousu LADir.s.j—lf young women waste their time in trivial amuse ments in the prime season for amusement, which is between the ages of sixteen and twenty, they will hereafter re!vret bitterly the loss, when they come to feel themselves inferior in knowledge to almost every one they ronverse with, and above all, if they should ever be mothers, when they come to feel their inability to direct and assist the pursuits of their children, they will, the❑ find ignorance a severe mortlication and a real evil. Let 'it animate their industry, and let not a modest opinion of their capac ities he a discouragement to their endeav ors after knowledge. A moderate under standing, with dilligent and well directed application, will go farther than it. more lively genius, if attended with that impa tience and inattention which too often at tend quick parts. It is not for want of ca pacity that so many women are such tri fling and insipid companions so ill qualified for the friendship and conversation of a sensible man, or for the task of instructing or governing a family. It is often the neg lect of exercising the talents they really have, and from omitting to cultivate a taste fin• intellectual improvement. By this neg lect, they lose the sincerest pleasure, which would remain when almost every other forsook them, of which neither for tune nor age could deprive them, and which would be a comfort and resource in almost every possible situation of life. A St.akvE C C learn from the Frankfort (Ky.) Coin monwealth, that the Supreme Court of Ohio, ludges Wood and Blanchard presiding, have, in the consider ation of a question involving the constitu tionality of such of laws of Ohio as were designed to securejugitive slaves from ar rest,'reatlirmed a decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, by which it was declared that "the owner of a slave, either by himself or agent, may pursue, arrest and return • him to the State from which, he Ile'd,without the aid of the State authority : & that all legislation which interferes with or embarrasses such arrests is unconstitution al and void, all legislation on the subject be ing exclusively vested in Congress.

N D 17.. R A STORY OF C RINE .—The Richmond (Va. ) Republican says=-that since the fact has been established that Epes, who is now at large; is guilty of murdering F. A dolphus Muir, late of Dinwiddie 'county, he has also been stronglysuspected of hav having caused the death of several other persons in She same county—and among the number, his own son afid the mother, or mother-in-law, of Mrs. Epes.' A few years since an elderly lady—then an in mate, if we understood correctly, of Epes' house—was taken suddenly ill and died. At the death of this lady, it seems, a large estate waslikely to fall into the hands Epes as guardian. of his children, who were to he the heirs of their deceased relative.— ' During the met of the lady, E'pes was known to have administered a dose of medicine, or something which he profess ed would give relief to her. The dose had been given hut a short time, when she con- I tinned to graw worse, and soon expired. Nuthing was thought at the time, of the sudden death of the lady—her friends not dreaming for a moment that she had been unfairly dealt with. It is only since the developments in the Muir ease, that sus picion has been excited towards Epes, in regard to her death. It has been only a few years, too, sin ce a son of E.'s was killed, :is reported at the time of his death, by the accidental discharge of his gun while he and ,his father, W.. Dandridge Epes, ‘ were out hunting. The account of young Epes' death, from the lips (Alis own hith er, heing•so plausible at the time, no . one of course suspected foul play ; but now it seems that the son was heir to some prop erty which the father wished to get into his own possession. This circumstance, taken in connection with the others, leaves very little doubt that Epes is the murderer of his own son. Nor does this end the. chapter of his crimes ! HO is now petted of havin!r murdered a Drover, who has neither been seen norheanl from, since he was known to have gone to Epes' house, to collect of E. money tier a number of hogs sold. Tiiis has been several years ago.. and, as a pretty good evidence of sus pieion being properly attached to Epes for !disposing of the Kentucky drover, the skel eton of a grown Person WILS lately, within a week or so, we believe, found in an lee I louse on the Farm upon which Epes for tourly resided. ltEmEr r THOSE STaceK By LlGHT aged lady correspondent has kindly favored us with the subjoined im portant mode of affording relief to persons who may be struck by lightning.

' Tut.: DEAD AMvE.—At Shreveport, La., a few days since, an old negro man belong ing to Mr. Bowman, supposed to be dead, was conveyed to the grave-yard, but made a noise in the coffin as they were put ting hint into the grave. The coffin was opened, and he was found to be living, and conveyed home. 'ln September, 1845, Capt. Daniel P. Up ton, of the ship Governor Davis, belonging too Boston, rescued the crew and passengers of the British ship Glenview, numbering twenty-four in all, after they had lashed in the rigging during two days. A beautiful and massive (Told Medal has been prepared, by order of Queen ' Victoria, as an acknowl edgement of this act, and a day or two ago it was preSented by the British Minister through Mr. Buchanan, the Secretary of state. TOO SMALL FOR Bom.—Hon. Mr. Hale, IT. S. Senator elect from New Hampshire, is still active in the canvass, in Maine.— Among other things he tells the folks there, "that there were two We's in new Hamp shire—We the leaders and We the people, and, as the State was not large enough to hold thorn both, WE the people kicked WE the leaders out." EVERY IVIAN ins OWN LAWYER.—The New York Reform Convention decided on Monday, by a vote of 90 to 17, that any male citizen, of whatever color, of good moral character, and requisite qualifica tions of learning and ability, shall be ad mitted to practice in all the courts of that State. The Washington Union appears to be sadly alarmed, because certain leading mem bers of the. Whig party are circulating large numbers of able speeches in defence of the Tariff of 42, made in Congress du-, ring the last session. The, official evidently is unw filling to let truth go before the people. We arc glad to see our friends tho active. ireulate the documents—pour as much ight upon the popular mind as possible,— unmask the 'administration and expose its politiial errors ! This is the true policy, It the more necessary now, because of the infamous &and that was practised upon Penn: ylvania at the las 4 election. WHIG PREDICTIONS FULEILLED.—TheI Auburn Journal justly remarks that all l the predictions made by the Whigs in 18441 in regard to the consequences of the elec tion of Mr. Polk to die Presidency, have been fulfilled. Whigs prophesied the an-, nexation of Texas and a consequent war with Mexico. Well, Texas was annexed, and we are engaged in a war with Mexico MAO this year will cost over a, hundred millions of dollars. • Whigs prophesied the- destruction of the Tariff of 1842, and the substitution of a tariff that 'Would ren der the National Treasury bankrupt, an 6 bring ruin upon the great interests of the country, for the benefit of Great Britain.— The tariff of 1842 has been repealed, and we have a tariff (which but for the annex ation of Texas, we should not have ; for the bill would not have passed but for the votes of Texas Senators) that will not yield over eighteen • millions of revenue, whilst the Government expenses are a 'HUNDRED MILLIONS; and, as a direct con sequence of which, manufacturing estab lishments of various .kinds, all over the country, are already ceasing their opera tions, and thousands of laborers daily dis charged ; thus reducing the wages of labor and cutting off a ; market for, and reducing the prices of, the agricultural productions of the country. The Whigs, too, prophe sied the enactment of the Subtreasurv.— This odious measure has just passed Con gress. We thus have—thanks to the elec tion of James K. Polk—a war with Mexi co, a war upon the domestic industry, , and a war upon the currency of the country; and all because Northern demagogues have been willing to bargain away to the South all the great interests of the North, for offi cial SPOILS, in possession or expectancy.— such.is . but the beginning, what is to be the Exn !—Boston .If/as.. EV F nurs o f .DALLAS Po !ACV .—The Philadelphia Sun says the "bitter conse quences of.the new tariff are thickening a round us. It is truly heart-rending to con template the havoc which this unrighteous and uncalled for Measure - has inflicted up on the manufacturing interest.vihroughout the country ; and the hundreds who were dependent upon their toil it has thrown out of employment and reduced to indigence want, and suffering. Mr. Dickson,- pro prietor of the large cotton mill, at the cor- , ner of Twelfth and William streets, Spring Garden, has been compelled to stop his works entirely, and discharge all his hands.

IRON AND COAL.—The manner in which these interests are assailed by the Locofoco press, would cause one to - suppose that those engaged in them are the worst of our citizens, or that they were no citizens at all. But while they are thus attempting to misrepresent them, they at the same time would have us believe that they were making princely fortunes in a few years un der the protective tariff of 1842, that the British Bill gives them privileges enough. Is it so ? If it is why do not some of those demagogues invest their money, and prove their assertions by facts? The truth is they arc aware that those interests are en tirely neglected by the British Bill, and it would be folly to invest capital in an en terprise that must and will fail. York .Rdvocatc. TIIk . COMPROALISE.-Mr. Haywood states in his atiress, that "it had been voted by the party to have no reference, and agreed to have no amendments to the bill." Yet there are free trade Journals thatpresume to charge the minority with not having effect ed what the majority had agreed should not he done. This is almost as candid as a tar iff pledge of '44.

Republican Fannin" Cows.L—Nothing upon a farm is so val uable as a 0-,,odif cow. And it should he a constant effort with every true farrner to seek the best breeds and to feed in the best manner; for herein lies the soundest econ omy. Very much has already been ac-1 complished for this - important interest; but ' much remains to be done. While we'are .strongly inclined to believe that n - tro better cows can be found—we mean 'for milk— than selections from the natives,.. we feel quite stare that erent advantage is also .to be derived from the best importations, provi ded the mode of keeping be imported and .underotood also.—Vor here is the real se cret—the teeding and keeping•Of the ;atii aui- mal.

They arc the best stock in Scotland, and are generally regarded in the Same I light throughout England. Theyare not so large or handsome as the Durham; but I they are a hardier race; keep themselves in good condition, and are easily fatted.— Mr: Phin,ney declares them tobe from his experience, greatly superior to theur hams, for Dairy properties. There' have been numerous importations of the Ayre shire breed into our State ; and, the last year, a large importation was made by the State society. To show what can be accomplished, and the manner of doing it, we refer to the famous ease of the Cramp cow in England of the Sussex breed. During her first year for milking she produced 540 lbs. of - butter ; the largest amount in a week was 15 lbs. In 47 weeks her milk amounted to 4,921 quarts. In her third year she produced 5782 quarts of milk and 657 lbs. of butter; the largest amount of butter in. a week was 18 lbs. In her fifth year, her milk'. was 5,369 quarts, and her butter, 594 lbs. .Largest quantity of butter in .4 week, 17 lbs. The feeding of this cow was, in summer, clover, lucerne, rye, grass and carrots—at noon, four gallons of grainand two of bran mixed ; in winter, hay, grain, and bran, five or six times a day. The famous Oakei.&w, owned in Dan vers in this State, may be mentioned also as very remarkable ; she produced 19i lbs. of butter in a week. In 1816 her butter was 4841:1b5." • She was allowed 30 to 35 bushels Indian meal a year'; she had also potatoes and carrots at times. A cow in Andover, in 1836, yielded $67- 38 from the market, besides the supply of the family. The keeping was good pas ture, the swill of the house and three pints of meal a day. A cow owned by Thomas Hodges, in North Adams, produced in 1840 425 lbs. of butter. Her feed was one quart of rye meal and half a peck of potatoes daily, be sides very good pasturing. Putnam cow at Salem averaged for• a year 12 quarts daily. In 1841, with two quarts of meal daily, she averaged in one month 18 quarts daily. A cow owned by S. Henshaw, formerly of Chicopee Falls, gave 174 lbs. 'of ,butter a week, and in one case 21 lbs. This was a native without any mixture. A cow in' West Springfield is recorded as having given in 60 days 2,6921 lbs. of milk which is equal to 22i quarts daily. A. cow owned by 0. B..Morris,of Spring field, some weeks afforded 14 lbs. of but ter, besides milk and cream for family.— Her feed in winter was good hay, and from 2 to 4 quarts of rye bran at noon; in Sum, rater, besides pasture, 4 quarts of rye bran , at night. Judge M. remarks, in the account of his cows that “many cows, which have been considered quite ordinary, might by kind and regular treatment, good and regu lar feeding, and' proper care in milking. rank among the first rate." J. P. Cushion, of Waterton, has sever al native cows, which give 20 quarts a day. Dr. Shurtleff; of Chelsea, owned a small cow which gave 21 quarts daily.— The Hobart Clark cow at Andover, gave 14 lbs. of butter a week. A cow of W. Chase, Somerset, R. 1., in 1831, gave most of the season 20 quarts of milk daily; averaged nearly 14 lbs.• of butter during the season. The Hosmer cow at Bedford, Mass., gave 14 lbs. of but ter a week. The foregoing list consists of natives. We may also add, that there is now in West Springfield a cow owned by an .ex cellent fanner, which has afforded 19i Ihs: of butter a week.. But we are not inform ed whether this is an unmixed native or not. In l the account. which is on record of the famous Cran‘p cow in England, a remark is made 'deserving the notice of all milkers and farthers--"Milch cows are often spoil ed for want of patience at the latter end of milking them." The question has often been asked— what is the average produce of a Ow in milk?—An experienced milk man in Es sex county, says it is five beer quarts daily, when well fed; others say one gallon. It is said a cow requires two tons of hay in the season—and should have froth one to two quarts of meal a day, and about a peck of vegetables. Soiling is well adapted for e cow ; grass, oats, and corn, cut green.' furnish excellent food for this purpose. 7-- Carrots are invaluable through the winter. Our farmers 'would render 'a great ser vice by furnishing at our annual fairs writ ten statements of their own experience in the management and produce of their cows.
