"The grasshoppers cum, the hired man broke his leg, wife died, the barn burned, and Pve rid for three days, and can't find a woman who wants to marry." The Saratoga chap who married a girl last summer, having fallen in love with her beautiful complexion, says now that it was a "skin game."

THE statement in the Union-JIeraUl that the wall on the West side of the Capitol grounds fell from weakness of construction is false, and hIiows that the writer of the paragraph may hove been a hod-carrier, but not a bricklayer. The wall fell by constant washes during heavy rains; to prevent which a drain should have been run along by the wall, but the want of funds did not permit the drainage. The location of the wall proves this fact. S. W. MoKENZIE, Bricklayer. May 21_' 1* South Carolina, Richland County. LV THE r BO BATE COURT. In rc Estate of Heinreich F.
