OUR SOCIETY.

The article in our paper of to- day, signed
Friendship in cur opinion, is calculated to
carry false pressipn4labroadin IN reference
to the society of this place, thing that we
cannot permit to 60 uncontradicted. The
society here is generally very good and of
an estimable character, in morals, church
going, sociability, and in fact in every re-
spect. 1t IS true, here as everywhere else,
we have few hard cases; but such areNnot
to be called in to view to establish the general
reputation of our citizens. Our town is not
only in advance of almost all others in build
ings and alike Improvements, but in society
fold its age. The gambling, ball playing and
other devices said be in progress on the Sab
bath, happy we are to say, we have never
witnessed in or about this place, and think
that the representation is at least exaggerated.
The society here is generally pleasant, more
united and sociabe than in any place we
have resided frequently has it been re-
marked in our hearing that the society in
Upper Sandusky is generally better than
in places which have been renowned for piety,
some of hich might be mentioned if thought
necessary. Let those presenting to the pub
lie the state of affairs existing in and about
our town give facts, SO that the people abroad
may not have false impressions made upon
their minds.
This communication, we believe and hope
will close the discussion upon dancing; for
since the commencement until this time we
have not been able to discover any very i'm
portant change in our midst, other than the
weather is somewhat pleasanter We are
willing and like to publish communications
from our correspondents but we do not like
to publish those that are Of no advantage or
interest. Many of our subscribers have be-
come tired Of the discussion, and we think
not without cause.

The staff and shield of Life.

The troops at Lobos Island, where large
supplies are concentrated, have erected fort
which we should think likely to tempt and
provoke appetite of hungry Mexicans, rather
than repeal them. A letter in the Delta, form
Fort Harvey, says that Fortress is constructed
out Of bread, pork, bacon and even beans
which snake strong fort, when fianked BY
sand bags, &c." If the famishiug Mesicans

Tus REASON WHY.-Some folks wish
to know why Gen. Taylor was left with
so few soldiers at Ssltillo. One of the
reasons eau be ascertained by applying
TO tue wbig Governors of Massachusetts
and North Carolina. Each Of these states
was called on for regiment Of volunteers
on the 18th oflast Novembers, and yel
neither of them complied with the re
quisition until too late 10 reach Gen,

UPPER sANDuskY, APR. 80, ls47.
RAIL ROAD IN CONTEMPLATION.

The citizens Of this county have in contem-
plation the extention of an arm of the Mad
River and Lake Erie Road to Upper Sandus-
ky, as will be seen by the proceedings in our
paper. The meeting on the 2lst inst. was
large and animated, showing an intention to
have something accomplished. If the com
mittee be active in their duty, and the citi-
zens lend them the aid they can, the road
can be completed in a short time. Now is
the time to work if the road is to be made,
for already hays we had sufficient talk and
not enough work. Action is always necessa-
ry to accomplish any thing of importance, and
the Rail Road is very important to this place,
then let every citizen be active.

Kape me from sich all The days Of ne life;

Niver at all to be getting wife.
See the old bachelor gloomy and sore enough,
Placing his lakittle over the FIRE;
Soon it tips over-St. Patrick, he's mad

Now like hog in mortar bed wallowing.
Awkward enough see him knadiBg his

Tro,h if the bread he could eat without swal-

How il would favor his palate, you know.

In tho pursuit., he has battered his shin
A plate wanted washing, grimalkin 10 SCOUT

Thunder and turf, what pickle he's in.
Pots. dishes and pans, such greasy eonmod

Ashes and prata.skins cover the door;

diles,
Things that had never been neighbors be-
fore.
His meal being over, the table lief. setting So,
Dishes, take care Of yourselves if you can!
But hunger returns, then he's fuming and fret
ting so;
Och! lie, him alone for basic of man!
Late in the night he goes 10 bed shivering,
Niver BIZ ia the bed made at all;
He creeps like terrspin under the kivering:
Bad luck TO the picture of Bachelors Hall.
