against receiving notes of the
United States Bank, payable at
the Branch at Lexington to the
order of Joseph Fowler, letter C,
of the denomination of 820. The
signature of W. Mcllvaine, Cash

in the genuine the signature of
N. Biddle, President, is well done.
The names of the engravers, Mur ray,
Draper, Fainnan & Co. are
clumsily done, having a slurred
appearance. The general ap

neither persuasion, threats, nor
him swallow the least sustenance
of any kind. Some particles of
food, crowded between his teeth
two weeks ago, were discharged
trom his nostrils directly afteiv
and no further compulsion has
been used. He is described as
wasted to a ghastly skeleton; still
he is thought in a great measure
to retain his senses, and to enjoy
the benefit of sleep. This afflict
ing case is believed to be almost
unparalleled, and has thus far baf
fled all the efforts of medical skill.

an abundant harvest are qchoed.
The Nashville Republican of the
4th ult. contains an agreeable ar
ticle on the subject, in which it is
stated that the most observant far

try since its first settlement had
never been blessed with such
prospects of an abundant and
overflowing harvest
