Court House Taken for a Grocery

The Terre Haute Prairie City contains
th, following joke on Judge Huntington Of
the U. S. District Court:
The Judge, as many Of our readers are
aware, is an affabe gentleman off the bench;
but on the bench he is great stickler for
the dignity of the court. While holding
Court at Bowling Green, in the county of
Clay, some years ago, in q log cabin, the
Judge, Attorneys and others in the oom,
we're startled by succession Of sharp cracks
accompanied. by unear;hly shouts from>sten'
tori>n lungs Of "Ge--whe o a-Haw, buckH
The business of the Court had to be sus-
pended, and the Judge ansrly directed the
Sheriff to bring up the :umultuous OK dri-
YER. The Sheriff soon returned with rare
specimen Of genus 'Hcosier,' upwards of six
foot high, with a fox skin cap on his heai,
and tan colored garments hanging loosely
en- his person, in one hand he held the cause
of the explosion in the shape of a whip as
long as fishing pole; from under his arm
protrudcd half section Of ging gerbread
He walled cody up to the table, behind
which his Honor sat, as if about to ask for
something to drink, whed the Judge putting
on his severest frown, said 10 him:
"What do you mean, sir yelling thro' the
street and disturbing the quiet and dignity
of tie Court"'
The Hooseg stared around in utter as
tonishment, AMI after a pause shouted
out
Court! Court, did you say, giving q
loud whistle! Hi! thought it was a
grocery? The dignity of the Judge was
completely unshirped. Court adjourned
amid rosrs Of laughtcr--the culprlt was
not fined for contempt. but the board Of
County Commissioners Of Clay county soon
afterwards passed an order for the erection
Of court house that ould not be mistaken

From the Country Gentleman
Song---The pretty girl milking her
Cow.
OLD AIR, FROM CHEoLay.


The mornings FIRST dawn wis all glowing
And purple aud gold .ing'i the SKY;
The Summers soft bleezes were blowing
And waving the tree tops OH high;
With music the groves were all ringing,
The grass was aiI spangled with dew.
BY the side OF path swoelly singing,
Sa! pretty girl milking her COW.
Like the morning her fair check vac glowing
With the roses most deiicate hue,
Hef hair like he golden clouds flowing,
Her eyes like the drops Of bright dew,
Her locks, by the morning breeze parted,
a forehead disclosd white as snow,
And none were more gay aud light hearted
Than the pretty girl milking her COW.
The lark, his giathymn to the morning,
Was singing aIoIt in the sky;
And robin, The cSro returning,
Sat parish'd on the treG-top hard by;
And spsrrows were fitting 80 lightly,
And chipping their notes sweet and low,
But none Of them all sung more sweotly
Than the pretty girl milking her COW.
What card she for wealth or for splenioF3
The proud and The rich ana the gay'

Were dr arer far detrer than they,
Content with their love she desqisd not
Her station, th)lyh humble and low.

How to Preserve Smoked Meat.

How often we, are disappointed in our
hopes ofheying sweet hams duringth sum-
mer? After carefully curing and smoking
and when sewing them up in bags, and
white-wshing them, we find that either the
fly has commenced family in our hams,
or that the choice parts round the bone are
tainted, and the whole spoiled. Now this
can easily be avoided by packing them in
pulyerized charcoal The preservatiye quail
ity Of charcoal will keep them till charcoal
itself decays.
Butter too, Pu! in clean crock, asd sur
rounded by pulyeriEed charcoal, will never
become rancid. TRY IT.

Monarch, rob'd in gold ana purple,
In thy gorgeous palace halls,
Guarded by thousa,.d soldiers,
And by cannon-planted walls,
Why that start of consternatloni
Why that pallid hue of fright
Dost thou dread that plotted transon
May assail thy ta-one to.ngau
Onahy SoNny couch el velvet,
With the armed sentry near,
Why are they restless slumbers
Haunted by the spectre, fearl
Dost thou see thy vast possessions
Wrested from thee in an hou',
And thyself wretched wanderer,
Robbed Of subjects, throne and powerl
All! thy days are full ofevil,
Thou hast trusted man alonc,
And 10 angel band encampeth
Round the monarclfs tettelisg throne.

For thy scmlty dailJ breadi
Thou hastdrapk of crystal waters,

Thcu art waHn'd by genial sunlight
Streaming from redeomins love
When upon thy couch of rnshss,
Thou dost lay the down to rest,
Sleep all gentle and refreshing
Comes unto thy wearied breast;
Thou dott need no armed sentry,

Fearful dreams of mldnighr robbers,
Come not to modest the poor!
For prsund thy humble dwelling,
All unseen to mortal sight,
An angelic host epcampelh
Through the solemn hours of night,
White and pure as silver moon-beams

Whore that angel guard is keeping
Watch around the slceper's bed.

Thrill the dreamor's charrred ear,
And he breathcs the Eden fragrance,
Floating from tho heavenly sphere.
Wings ofguardian angels fan 4im
Through the suluy hoars of night,
And he wakes reIrcshu and strengthct'd,
At the early morRing light.
But that glorious band of angels
Loave him not atdawn of my.
Still their snowy tents surround him,

Where with lofty songs Of triumph,

On the first Of January, 1854, gentle
man doing business In this city, was worth

hundred and ten thousand dollars. AT the
same time he was blessed with a lovely and
intelligent wife, beautiful and promising
children. His business was lucrative, and
promised to continue so. How complete
The wreck which the year closed uPon!-
The first misfortune was the transfer Of Mer-
chandixe to the amount Of eighteen thou,
sand dollars to California dealer, for which
not one cent was ever received. The next
was two successive robberies, by means ei
which twenty-five thousand dollars were
lost. Soon after this, the unfortunate man
made an investment in real estate to large
amount. The next crowning misfortune was
trip with his family to Europe. They
embarked, on their return, with thirty.
eight thousand dollars in goods, on board
the steamship Arctic, and all shared her
uckless fate In settling up his affairs his
real estate was sold under the hammer al

The Girls.

W hen young man enters the arena of
the world in search of wife, he should ask
three questions before entering into court
ship first, is she intelligent ? second is she
kind and benevolent aud thirdly, does she
ever get up before breafast in the morning?
If all these interrogatories be answered in
the affirmative, no other qualification is in
dispensably necessary for with such wife
fortune and fame can easily be acquired
Such is the wife for the laboring man, such
should be the companion of one fortunately
possessed of wealth, and such should be the
wife of him who aspires to the highest sta
tions that society can bestow. Allithis infor-
nation can be easily obtained from the girl
you have in view for many boast of their
Incidence and think no higher compliment
could be paid than by calling them delicate
in health and feeble in mind If she is
weighed in the balances and found wanting,
pass her with contempt, and look to other
resources for future happiness. But mar
ry let the risk be what it may--it gives
dignity to your profession, it inspires conf
dence, and commands respect. With a
wife the lawyers are more trusty, the doctor
more esteemed, the merchant gets bigger
credit, and the mechanic throws the ham,
mer with increased power, and shoves the
plane with more dexterous hand, in short
"a man who has DO wife, IS no man at aU
She nurses him while sick, she watches for
him when absent, and loves and cherishes
him when in health. Gentlemen, get a
wife-a pretty one, if you like them best.
good one if she is to be found-and a rich
one If you can get her. Then youth will
! pass in visionary pleasure, as if on bed of
flowers. middle age will be enjoyed in the
bosom of a happy family. and when your
head is silvered DER with the frosts of ma
ny wibters, you can reflect back with the
happy consolation that you have spent your
life in usefulness to oyourself and the benefit

tion-the programme of which, as of no
other connected system Of roads, has obtain
ed the approval of the whole country, as is
evidenced by the acts of Congress granting
public lands in aid of the construction of
the most important of these lines, viz the
Illinois Central, the Mobile and Ohio and
the Cairo and Fulton roads.
1t will not be out of place for the COM
mittee to say that they remain unshaken in
the confidence they have always felt and ex-
pressed in the great value and ultimate
success OF the undertaking, and they are
satisfied that its value and Importance will
appear the more clear, the more thoroughly
1t is examined and understood
1t is road that must stand without RI
val in construction or the value of its stock
and income. 1t will run for a greatea dis
tance through the State, than any other
Railroad projected by our citizens or pene-
trating our borders from abroad. Its i'm
portance in this respect, is evidenced by the
consideration that every additional mile of
road constructed within the State that can
be proftably worked, not only adds to the
aggregate of its internal Improvement, but
increases the amount of its taxable property,
by enhancing the value of real estate and
augmenting in various ways the sum of its
personal property; hence other things being
equal, the longest line of Railroad running
over its own soil is the one most beneficial
to the State, and in the construction of
which it has the largest interest.

MASSACRE At HANGo-The English pa
pers by the late arrivals are filed with ac-
counts of an outrage committed By the Rus

Finnish prisoners taken in coasting vessels
and ordered to be liberated One man on-
-ly escaped. negro. upon whose authority
the statement of the wantonness of the Rus
sian attack is made 1t is dreadful atroc-
ity if true, in its details, and the British
Admiral has communicated strongly with
his own government and with that of Rus
sia, through the Danish Minister No ex-
PLANTATION has been received, and it is there
fore fair to suppose that there was some mis-
understanding rather than the brutal wick
edness Of the act as detailed in the British
accounts The defence suggested by the
Russians is that party, under cover of the
flag OF truce, were making soundings OF the
channel. and it is said that large portion
of the party were not killed, but are pris-
oners- Only six were killed.
