To the man who has accumulated a

the man who counts his dollars by

To the thousands who sit waiting for
some fortuitous circumstance to put
them to bed on couches stuffed with
greenbacks and supported' by four-post

"Copperhead," the blackguard epithet so corn

yet to snit reinstated in all its, simplicity and

" Of course, what the Agitator says about the
dissatisfaction of the Democrats of Tinge. county
is the mere froth of rage. Mr. GUERNSEY was
elected to office in that eounty (sheriff) tile very
' last time our Party aucceeded in carrying It, and
has more personal friends than theeditor who
villifies him. But as to the rage of the abolition
ists, our faith in what the 'Agile/Or Says is as
great ne our enjoyment therein. 'We din well
believe the Tiogit county diannionists, who would
roast HARRY at the stake If they dared, will bate
to pay over to him the U. B. levy."
It is said that another European .war.
is-inevitable. Prance offered to buy the
Duchy ofliuxembourg, and Prussia re
fuses to sell. It seems to be agreed that
France has concluded to take Luxem
bourg, Prussia to the contrary notwith
standing. However, we can see no such
condition or menace in Napoleon's offer
to buy. Nor is it probable that¢ he will
embroil . Eurolie for the possession of a
little duphy witich might be wrapt up
in the skin of Delmar and' Charleston
townships. But the'Fortress of Luxem
bourg is, next to Gibraltar, the strong
est in Europe. Since the revolution of
'4B it .bas been g(trrisoned by German
troops ; and being upon the frontier ~of
FranCe,"constitutei a point of departure
for an enemy in case France should be
'attacked from that direction. Perhaps
that accounts for the with in that cocoa

nut.., •
A paragraph appeared in this paper
twaweeke ago, to the effect that the act
to increase the Capital of the Pennsyl

Governor, had'been passed over the' le

vetoed bill did not pass over the veto,
in the House, but only in the Senate.—
We are glad to know it, and are bound
to say e at the House may take credit
for Roman virtue. •
We took occasion to condemn the at
tempt made by certain legislators to
raise their salaries. In justice to Mr.
Mann . we must state that he
. fought
against the proposed increase of pay
while the Appropriation bill was in the
House. As stated last week, the, at
tempt to raise the salaries of members
failed, and greatly to the credit of the
,Legislature as a body.

lived -for two or three years. Sam and.
(gorge' Campbell• came up with us to
Round Islands. , I came with them that
far. Sam killed a large Elk near Fall
.
big , Springs. • .
Our first visitor at Big Meadows was
a large panther that came to take our
hog out of the pen not twenty feet from_
the door. Our dog flew out of the house
. (the door was not made yet and a blanket
did duty for it) and treed the panther,
and kept him there till morning, when
we shot hii. Our. _Lneltt visitors were
two large rattlesnakea found lying' on
the foot Of th i e bed where my two broth
en3 slept. 0 that day the , door• was
finished and put up. , '
' Our dog teed seven panthers that
summer. One of them was shot at and.
wounded by Mary I Furman, Levi Fur
man's mother. The varmint was after
her geese.•• She took the gun, loaded
with shot only, and fired away at him.
The charge put out one eye and filled
the varmit's nose full of shot, but did
not kill him. There were plenty of Elk,
bears, and panthers and wolves, and
rattlesnakes in tho*e days. Our 'family
killed 365 rattlesnakes in one summer;
26 in one day, 18 , in another, and 17 in
another. Three of dpis used to go out
hunting them in their dens.
• At this time we had to get our 'mill
ing done at Jersey 'Shore, or English
Settlement, or Painted, Post. In the
winter we pounded our corwin a mor
tar made by burning 'out the end of a
hickory block. The pestle was worked
by a spring-pole: 'This lasted two or
three winters. Then we got a small
sett of mill-stones and worked them by
hand.
I suppose we were about as happy as
people are' •nowadays. We worked
hard, and fared lard and slept well.

water, and put it to his lips. Fright

venomous than that of a scorpion, had
taken shelter from the heat in the cool

REMARKABLE` MOVEMPN AMONG
THE JEws AT BOMBAY.--The following
statement is represented by the London
Irish Intelli,cfencer to be made on the au
thority of the Indian Portirgaa, a For
tugese journal published at Genoa:
ii
'9reat excitement has been. caused
among the Jews at Bomb by the pub
lication by their pontiff, EL B. Koyn
'member of the family of aron,' who
has lately come tq Bomba from Jerusa
lem, of a pamphlet under t e title, ' The
Voice of the Vigilant'-4 e object of
this voice being to persua e the Jews
that it is useless waiting 1 ngerA for the
promised Messiah, as this I Jesus Christ
himself,' whose doetilneS _ have , been
spread all over the woad Without sound
or force.' The Voice is said to use argu
ments which are solid an '
conclusive.—
'Compare,' 'Says the pon Ur,' the Old
and New Testaments, a d the 'truth
will be seen.' He also ad a that he was
born in the old law, and u der it was el
evated to the ponti fi cate, ut the light
bad already penetrated ith its rays
into the deep recesses of h a mind, and
he is therefore persuad d, and with
well-founded reasons, tha it is in vain
that the Messiah is now l oked for."
