BSaT Spcnk. We admire the spunk of the
Senate of he Virginia Legislature. Indeed,
we liko spunk in anything from the terrier
dog to the iPresident of the United States-
Whenever the true grit appears, applause is
sure to follaiw.
The House adopted a joint resolution thank
ing Capt. Ericsson for the invitation to visit :
the Caloric hip, but declining to accept it on
account of pressing business. The Senate a-
mended it by accepting the invitation. Tb :
House disagreed to tho Senate's amendment. !
The Senate, adhered to its amendment; and
there the matter rested. The Senate, like a '
game cock,: would not give up a jot of its
Iround. Scf the Senate will g-and if tho !
House will ,ot go along with it, why it will go j
i . i f. i . h j J io . '
alone ! U at ! most grave and reverend Sena-
tors ! Who cares if the House dori t go ? ,
Ihey didntkill themselves with labor in the
beginning of the session, and it isn't likely they ;
will die of industry now. We stand up for the
Senate! Go ahead 1 ;
This reminds us of an anecdote of old Col.
Bare, of Shenandoah, who was long since ga- ,
thered to his fathers peace to his maasa 1 - ,
One nighs, in the time of the great contest
over Mr. Kipesfor Senator he then occupying
the "half-way house" of conservatism abou t 9
o'clock at uight, just after, perhaps the nine
teenth ballot.iold Col. Bare.' who had taken at
least one glass, rose up and said-r-
Mr. Speaker: Do boverner ish going to g.f
a barty to night it ish late and! move dis
House does now adjourn. i
1 he question was put, and by an overwhelm-
ing voice decided in the negative.
Col. Bare, quite indignant, standing up with
his hat in hand, said ;
"Mr. Speaker, I 'spose I can adjourn my-
self?" j
"Oh, certainly, sir," said the Speaker and '
the old Colonel "walked deliberately out, while .
the House wis convulsed with laughter. j

must be constitutional, you know, employ
some active lousiness man of the right stamp to
travel through the State, and call upon the far
mers in person. It will take something to make
i the necessary arrangements for an exhibition,
I and an exhibition is worth thc attempt to get it

ot tne attacK was so alarming, and-the inflamma
tion set in so severely, that doubts were eater
tainc,d of her not being able to bear up under it;
fortunately she was induced to try your Pills, and
she informs me that after the first, and each suc
ceeding dose, she had great relief. She continued i
to take them, and although she used only three
boxes, she is now jn the enjoyment of perfect
health. I ceuld have sent you many more' cases.
Tbut the above, from the teeerity of the attack, and
thc speedy cure, I think, speaks much in favor of

ness of breath, that prevented rob from walking a
