On Tuesday night last, some mean,
Iowlived, thieving dog, stole from the
yard of Mr.. L. h. Mathews, senior editor
of the Standard. who is lying sick, sew
eral shirts, pants and other articles Of
clothing.-JackS0n S!anddrd.
We have examined the pages of Dan
Websters dictionary to find term suf-
fcient hard to apply to the scamp who
would rob an editor. But the question
is, what business has an editor with
" several shirts, pants and other articles
of clothing" That is what the thief
thought, we suppose.-MOr"ing Herald.
Gg" Having recovered the stolen arti-
cles, where the chap left 'em drap, we
could not conjecture why they were not
kept, but on examination we found that
they were candidates for the paper mill
and not ironed at that, and that there was
not soundrags enoughin both Of our shirts
to make the half of decent one.

The Times.

NOTWITHSTANDING the 'hard times" and
the general scarcity Of money, there seems
to bc no disposition OH the part of credit
ors Of our district to distress their debtors,
further than is barely compatible with their
interests Property is now fetching fair
(rather extravagant) prices for even more
prosperous times; which will, doubtless,
greatly assist those If they will avail them
selves of it) who may be deeply indebted,
in extricating themselves from the pressure
consequent upon an ovcr-stretch of their
credit. There is far less suing, to the en-
suing March term, than was anticipated
which we think mainly depends upon the
quantity Of cotton yet unsold with public
confidence that times will take decided
turn for the better. It may be, that an oc-
casional and slight pressure in these days
OF extravagance and indefinite credit, may
act beneficially upon the masses, since they
are the only checks that we, as a people
have with which to prevent our greater inju.
ry arising from this state of things.
