that good old vyffinan had heard this

to which sho was entitled, immediately
raised to Ab'snose tho shoulder of

with the aforesaid bacon, laid in herl

K MANUEL M'KELLAR'S XBOUBLE.
f During tho past week it seems that
v Manuel McKellar, who is well known
? for his honest and industrious habits,
> but ns ono who will sometimes
[ invest a portion of his surplus
; earnings in that which "makes soinej
\ men feel rich, and makes others for-j
got that they are poor." While in,
this exuberance of spirits lie is some-;
I times a little obstreperous, and is aj
little forgetful of the rights of others.;
f It happened that was the case onej
day last week, and so much infringed J
5 on the premises of another that the;
I proprietor fo't called upon to use a>
I brick upon tliiai "citizens" head. The!
S result was, as mi^ht be supposed,:
j| the brick got the worst of it, but |
K then Manuel got more than he feJtj
& warranted in receiving, and wentj
f to Court to get balm for his wound- i
r ^ j
ed head, but the jury declined to furL
J J J j
nish an order for the desired lii>a-|
jnent, and the case was dismissed. (

So thought Mr. Saniuo1 Marshall,I

thought it prudent for a woman of
her high character to be entertaining
gentlemen, and, as she slept in the

but still Sam lingered, until finally

JjOU reeling mat a gooa cuaracucr was
at stake and feelin<; keenly the reproach
that might bo brought upon
hor by Sam's prolonging his stay
until the honr when "grave yards
yawn," and not having the fear of his
palanic majesty the town marshal
or any other man, before her
eyes, lifted a billet of wood
and at once' began to split it into
kindling splinters over Sam's defenceJess
head. Sam suddenly remember
? edthocascof Samson and his wife
Delilah, of earlier days; and made
for her hair,. But her case and Samson's
were entirely dissimilar. She
was apparently stronger after losing
her capillary covering than before,
and sho hastily, with that stick ol
cord wood, boat a tattoo on the
head of her visitor.
Next morning both parties laid in
their complaints to Judge Hughes,
when a jury was summoned and the
merits aud demerits of their rcspcct
ive cases was looked into. Mis*
Louisa Barr, as the vromon geocrallj
do, came out victorious. Tho Judge
domanded that Mr. Marshall slial
j)ay the costs ($7.00) of tho suit, 01
jn case of his inability to compl)
xrilli this rtivlnt* of flip Court. tlx
Judge in lbo kindness of his heart
generously offered to savo him the
/expense of house rent and provisions
for a week by furnishing him lodging
jn tho County Hotel for that lengtl
of time. Sam being flush settled uj
and the caso was dismissed, ho failing
to get a balm for" his blegding heari
ud lacerated head.
I '
! Mr. Cromer and his Old Vest |
Mr. Wesley Cromer was ia town
last week looking ifn usually well and
cheerful. In going into' expensive h
lawsuits he i9 a little prodigal some- ^
times, but in othe'V matters-he is par- i'
ticularly closo. lie doos not believe ?
in sponding ail his income for clothes, a
(hois entirely too stingy to think of t
subscribing for a newspaper,) and ho r
wears what might be termed old r
clothes, if forty-five yours entitles 1
clothes to be thus called. The vest l'
which he wore to town qn last Satui*- r
dajT was made by tho McLarens in ^
11S30, and is tho one in which ho was t
married, not tho last time, but tho k
firsttimo. Though he claims that this n
vest and he are made of tho best mate- &
irial, 'it is clearly to bo observed that n
both the owner and it have seon better a
days, and that they now show signs of s'
l-?
U?U.
The ownor prizes this vost most s'
highly for moro reasons than one. Cl
By it tho association of earlier and w
happier years aro renewed in thought, '
and with it ho is almost enabled to "
livoover again sorao of tho happiest o'
and best days of earlier and prosper,
oas manhood. In it ho can almost
sec reflected tho realization of love's I]
young dream, in tho bright eyes, the j \
tender hands, and tho loving heart of!
a sweet young bride. Since those j
halcyon da)s, lifo has been stripped
of its charms, romanco and beauty; ^
and stern, facts, fund not a?reeablo
V /
ones cither,) now staro tho old man ^
in the face. And for another reason
the ownor prizes this vest most high- w
ly, becausc of tho service it has ron- ^
dered in protecting from the stormy tl
winds of many a winter, whatever al
others may think, a heart, in tr
his opinion, as w inn and true as the ! w
heart or soul of man could wish. a;

tl
visit to town on Saturday last since
his return from Florida. Ho speaks s<
in glowing terms of the luxurious |ri
enjoyment of a winter in the "land b
of flowers," and of the profits of the:
orange culture. Groves of seven or;
eisrlit acres yield an annual incomo ofin
I A
?10,000, without any labor and ex- "'1
pense but tiic cost of gathering and!?
shipping to market. In seven years h
from planting, the orange tree com- li
incnce-i bearing, and attaining its t\
full bearing capacity in seven yesys "
more, surviving for ono hundred is
vcars. So it will be seen that an |0
orange grove is a little fortune. Mr. Ip(
G. states that at present there is much
interest manifested in the culture.j
and capital is being invested.
Lightning Hods.?The lightning! (
rod man is in town and we learn thatjm
he will visit the various cities in this I._

safety of the prisoners wo think 13
it woulu be nothing but an act ofl ^
justice for the council to have light-! S
niii;: rods on the 96 calaboose. Ill
seems hard that a mat) who has incurred
the displeasure of the council,
should in addition, bo exposed to the!^
perils of the very thunder-bolts of M
heaven. j ti

in preference to Bermuda grass, not- 01
withstanding our distinguished friends d

are splendid ta'kers, but have only a ^

le
Isn't Bermuda grass what we call j
"wire grass?" If so, it's a great j0
nuisance, and the iVe 10s man is;
j about right, notwithstanding his distinguished
friends and town farmers "
