while court was sitting at Paris, in Lamar county,
Texas, and while the tavern of Mr.. Tucker was
filled with lawyers, litigants, witnesses, &c. rob-

HEALTH REouLArioSs.-Our readers will find in
our advertising columns certain regulations pre-
scribed by the Board ~ Health for the prcscrva-
ton of the health Of the city; together with act
recently passed by the Municipal Councils to the
intent. The object of thcsc regulations is to
afford persons who have convenience or facilities
for disposing of the sIops and garbage from their
kitchens, &C., place TO deposit them, and thus
prevent them from throwing sop into the alleys.
In this way one fruitful source Of disease, and a
very aggravated one, will be removed. The rro-
vision in regard to cutters is equally important. II

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES..
Mr. Willis P. Bocock was announced TO speak
at Petersburg last evening.
The Enquirer informs the faithful that Mr.
Shelton F. Leake will "address the people " at
the African Church in Richmond, on Friday eve
ming next.
The Enquirer also publishes letter from Guy
andotte, dated the 17th in which the writer gives
some information concerning Col. Johnson's jour-
neyings. We are told that" having first visi-
ted the counties surrounding his own, he passed
through Writ, Jackson, Mason, Putnam, Cabell,
Wayne, &c. Happening at Jackson on Court
day, he addressed large audience at the Court
House, where, by spirited and effective speech,
he rallied the democracy, which had been charg-
ed with faltering in that county, and at the same
time won over many friends from the opposite
ranks"
OF his being in Cabell, there seems to be no
doubt; for the writer says there were in that
county "evident traces of recent visit by the
Colonel" Where the &c. above means that the
Colonel has gone, we cannot tell. We hear a
report that he had wendell his way towards Alb
ingdon.

of Mr.. Jos. C. Cabell, portion of it containing
discussion of the relative advantages of canal
and railroad was read.
Mr.. Richard G. Morriss, Chairman Of the
special committee appointed to revise the tariff
oftols, read their report, in which the necessity,
Of important reductions in the tolls was strongly
urged. The consideration mainly pressed was
that the completion the South Side Railroad to
Lynchburg would compel either red ucton Of
tolls or the loss of trade, and the committee con-
sldered it wise to anticipate that necessity. The
reduction proposed, Mr.. Morriss stated, was about
ID per cent.
Col. Bondurant, member 'of the committee,
presented, as minority report, tariff proposing
slighter reductions.
Memorials from Convention which recent
ly met at Buchanan, and from Stockholders in
RockbridGe, in favour of reducing the tolls; and
memorial from Lynchburg requesting an ex-
tension of the water facilities Of the canal at that
point, were presented.
The Presidents report and the other papers
mentioned were referred to committee of 10,

ING.HOUSE SKETCH.
BY THE YOUNG 'UN.

Many Of our readers will recognize the
point of the following joke, which we heard
related "long time ago." but which we
never saw in print. 1t is 'good un,
and will bear re-telling.
While General Jackson was President
of the United States, he was tormented
day after day by importunate visitors, Las
most chiefmagistrates OF this "great coun-
try" are,1 whom he did not care to see
and in consequence, he gave strict direc-
tons to the messenger at his door 10 ad-
nit only certain persons on particular
day, which he was buster with state affairs,

In spite of this perelnptory order, how
ever, the attendant bolted into his apart.
ment, during the forenoon, and informed
the general that person was outside
whom he could not control, and who
claimed to see him-orders or no orders.
"By the eternal!'' exclaimed the old
man, nervously, 81 wont submit to this
annoyance. Who is it?"
"Don't know, Sir" 50
.,Don't knowl What's his name2''
"His name! Beg pardon, Sir-it's
woman"
"A woman! Show her in James; show
her in" said the President, wiping his
face; and the next moment, there entered
the generals apartment, a neatly clad fe-
male Of past the ''middle age" who ad'
vanced courteously towards the old man,
and accepted the chair he offered her.
"Be seated, Madam" he said.
"Thank you," responded the lady,
throwing aside her veil, and revealing
handsome face to her entertainer,
"My mission here to-day, general"

how sad she feels
sWell Bill said Mike, & rather think
you would feel happy too, if you were on
the eve Of marriage with such good and
beautiful little woman as Miss Harlow.
But she is coming. She has run away
from Fortescue.' -
Annie advanced, and as she gave her
parting advice, tears coursed down their
cheeks, and the noble resolutions then
formed were remembered even in the stern
er years Of manhood.
sShe has come! she has come!'-cried
Henry Harlow to his mother, who with the
children was seated in the parlor waiting
her arrival
Yes said little Edith, 'and she has
brought some one with her, | wonder who
it is?
Cordial indeed was the greeting, and the
happy Edith danced around the room ex.
claiming, Annie shall never 60 away
again
But it might not be so. She was to
stay but little while, and then her pres
ence was to glad another home. Yet the
tears that shone in that mothers eye on
the bridal eve were not tears Of sorrow;
no, they were tears of gratitude and ad-
miration. She yielded her beloved child
to Warren Fortescue without pang; for
firm and just was the belief that he was
worthy Of her. Not even the prospect OF
a separation marred their happiness.
Warren had chosen beautiful resi-
sdence in the city, close on the spot where
they had dwelt in the season of their early
prosperity. He had purchased and refit-
ted the house formerly owned by Mr.. Har-
low and presented it to the widow and her
children.
Once year they visited the still loved
spot where Annie had labored, and where
they had first met. ad ~
On these occasions joyful party as
sembled in the old grove to greet her, for
still she had place in the hearts of the
people, and still was she interested for
their welfare.
Mary Lee was still favorite and often
visited them; and when good DR.. Green
had finished his labors and gone to his re-
ward, Mr.. Fortescue gladly fulfilled his
promise and gave her home in his own
happy family.
