"a Wig Pumpkin. Mr.. Avera, good Wing,
left at our Office yesterday, Pumpkin grown in
this vicinity weighing II lbs. We challenge any
Loco to beat il" Reg lister.


AS a democrat we accept the challenge at once,
and come forward to beat" this same Wing
Pumpkin. William r. Poole, Esq. Of this coun-
ty, and a near neighbor of Mr. ArerG, has sent to
our Office genuine Democratic Republican Pump
kin, which measures in circumference six feet two
inches, and weighs one hundred and forty poun1s!
Do you give il up, Mr. Register2 Mr. Poole in
forms US that this enormous Pumpkin was pro-
duced IN piece of rich low grounds, and that the
vine, which covers some forty or fifty feet square,
has upon it others of smaller growth, and a.
mong them one that comes within three pounds of
matching the Wing Pumpkin" " of the Regis
ter. We shall dissect this LOUe-Gpple of the Yam
KEGS in a week or two, when we shall be happy
to divide the seed among our friends-Whig as
well as Democratic. No Wing need be afraid to
make the experiment, for so rare and excellent
are the virtues which the seeds of this Pumpkin
are said to contain, that it is believed they will
produce as well in Wing as in Democratic soils.
