GOOD NEG HBORIOOD.

Mr.. Prlnier- There is a sore evil un-
der the sun, which seems hitherto to
nave escaped the notice of your cores
pondentss but which Is said TO prevail
very extensively in this hospltable town.
Ii is a Good Neighborhood. Nay, start
not Mr.. Printer, II IS indeed sore evil,
as you shall presently hear.
| am an unmarried lady, little ad-
vanced beyond the period Of youth, and
in fact approaching that age in which
one does moi like to have ones early ha-
bits interrupted. My friends think me
somewhat particular, and-for the word
must come out-a little odmaidish
but bear heir raillery with good hu-
NOR, for am conscious that what they
laugh at is only love of nsatness and
regularity. Having decent corpe-
tence, and no near relations with whum
l couN reside, lately purchased a
small house, in the midst of very good
neighborhood, and last week l commence
ed housekeeping with high hopes OF
comfort and enjoyment. But alas sir,
one short week has clouded the prospect;
and unless can sell my house and es-
cape, l shall die Of good neighborhood
before Thanksgiving.

Dear Brother: | wrote you soon after

however, it was not so much better than
Limerick; after all, was obliged to
work for a living, and because l got into
little row, they took away my money,
and kept me in Jail two weeks; l soon
got tired OF that country, and have come
to the southern parts. l like things
much better here, and advise you 70
come to Mobile as soon as you can, and
try to get Phelim and David 10 come too.

work. don't work but half Of the
time, and have plenty TO eat, something
left for night TOO. But the best thing of
all is, people never have to pay debts
here as they do in Ireland, you have on
ly to go bciDre Justice, and he fixes
your papers, and figures i, out, all hand
some, Just like a merchant, aud soon
makes 1t out, that instead of being in
debt, your creditors owe you, and then
you sue them for it, and put it in the pa
per, John O'fwistem against his cre-
ditors,' and tell them that the Squire has
appointed such day to hear them, and
come up, if they have any thing to say
for themselves. There is six or seven
OF them in the papers every week. A
man sued his creditors four times, and
beat them every time, and has got trust
ed most enough 10 sue again. There is
no shame about 1t, Tor you don't cheat any
body, ii is only way to pay off old debts,
and people do 1t here when their credi-
tors don't owe them more than hun
dred dollars, this is the reason why peo-
pie are SO independent here, for II one
man tries to make another pay, what be
owes him, he laughs al him, for if +" he
takes the benefit as they call it here,
NOBODY can touch him: and besides it
| helps poor people TO get along, without
working SO hard, and have p lcnly 10 drink

found here, aud we do just as we please.

THIS was done 10 the face of day, and
the citizens stood looking on aud dare
not say word: this is what ! call a real
land of liberty. There are some poor
people here who have been turned out Of
their houses by The d --- lawyers, only
Tor not paying rent, they talk now of
I righting them, and then pull down the
