A STRAY Coon IA fine large racoon entered
our premises this morning, and made straight
way for a shed in which the chicken coop is
kept, whittier he was pursued and caught by
his owner. He would have been kindly enter
tanned had he trusted to our hospitality, for we
cannot forget the fraternal relationship that has
30 long subsisted between him and some of us.
But his first impulse appeared to be to sneak
about in quest of plumber, and it therefore gave
us no pain to see him tugged off with a hempen
cord about his neck. The instinct Of these
rascals is wonderful, and the inability to subdue
its promptings on the part of some individuals
causes the whole species to be suspected.
While moralizing upon this unpleasant truth,
we opened the Louisville Courier of the 9th
instant, and the first item that came under our
notice was an account of the larceny of pub
lie Office by coon, who has been strutting
about in a great bear-skin for several years
past. The Courier quotes from the Frankfort
Commonwealth, as follows:
awe learn that Hon. T. F. Marshall, who is
elected to the House Of Representatives from
Woodford county, made speech on the night Of
has election. Mr.. Marshall has been acting for
some years with the Democrats In this race
however, he ran as an independent candidate,
and was supported by many Wings; but doubt
less he has election manly TO Democratic rotes.
After the result was known, Mr.. Barnes, his
competitor, made short speech, in which he
said that he considered it no disgrace to be de-
feated by o man Of Mr.. Marshall's splendid
abilities. After Mr.. Ii. concluded, Mr. Mar
shall spoke, and paid some beautiful and elo-
quent compliments to Mr.. Barnes He then
said he wished to make out an account current
with the Democratic party. He acknowledged
that he owed his election to them, and he set
himself down as debtor for that. But he had
supported Mr.. Polk, and otherwise done the
party some service; for that he claimed ere.
dit, and called upon the Democrats present tc
say on which side the balance stood. Some o.
them cried out, ooh, we are indebted to you.
sWell,' said Mr.. Marshall, u forgive you the
balance, square the accounts, close the books
and from henceforth, 1 am Wing forever"

Last evening, about half-psst Ave. / was
/ riding to Georgetown In one Of the q Union
omnibuses. Presently another Of the Union
coaches, followed by one Of the Citixeng line,
appeared in our rear. As soon az the two
coaches were abreast of each other, most dis
graceful scene was presented. 1t appeared that
the driver Of the second Union coach wished to
shoot ahead, and that the driver of the "Citi-
zen" desired to follow, thereby maintaining his
previous relative position. But the first Union
coach undertook to prevent this by ATTEMPTING
to drive in between them; and for several
minutes the three coaches were dashing from
one side Of the Avenue to the other, with the
most fearful violence and recklessness. A col
lision appeared inevitable, and it was only when
the Union drivers had attained their object that
the struggle ceased One gentleman pulled the
check string, but the driver refused to stop
until the race was over Several well-known
residents of the city were passengers, and were
loud in their denunciation of such conduct. and
threatened to expose it.
As "that which is everybody's business is
nobody's," have taken the liberty of presenting
these facts, in order that, through the TslegrapI
they may reach the proprietors of the coaches
Whichever of the parties was in fault is of no
consequence, inasmuch as the regulations of the
Corporation provide for ample redress in cases
of a violation of the rules prescribed These
omnibuses are great accommodation; but
when the lives and limbs of our citizens are
thus placed in jeopardy, no one will be willing
to trust himself or his family in them.
M.
The writer Of the above is known to us, and
we presume there is no room for doubling the
facts stated We publish his communication
under the certain conviction that the proprie-
tors Of both lines will look into the matter, and
prevent the repetition of such an occurrence as
is here described.

Labor is very unequally divided in this
world of ours. The 'workies' are overworked
while there are too many drones who do not
work at ALL
Divide the labor now performed equally
among ALL and but few hours day will suf-
fee. Then dispense with all that is unneces-
sary, and much less will answer. But these
things will probably never be done in the wide
world Limited communities, however, may
avail themselves of the advantages of general
labor Look at the Mormons bad as they are,
all labor, the period of labor is abridged, and
wealth accumulates. The Quakers, when they
are grouped into communities, illustrate the
same advantages. Any one hundred families,
with thousand dollars each, who will buy
tract Of land, say $4,000 acres and locate upon
it, under regulations for mutual benefit, and
live temperately, frugally, and industriously,
must prosper. In ten years each family viii
be worth ten thousand dollars, if judicious
selection shall have been followed up by right
conduct, and no unforeseen calamities befall
them. Why do not many of those who toll SO
hard and proftless from year to year in our
communities, under all the disadvantages i'm
posed, turn their attention to such schemes as
this, and dot our great territories with pros
porous agricultural and manufacturing commu-
mites, becoming producers and consumers, and
garnering up the excess of production. Reli-
gion, morality, social and intellectual indie
pendence, and happiness, would all be promoted
by this principle of association, while the close,
one-family principle Of Fourier, (Which we be-
lieye to be essentially demoralizing,) need not
be recognised at all.
