seventy cases to be tried, besides large
amount Of criminal business to be attended TO-
| The Harrisonburg Independent, of Wednes,
day last says:
On Saturday last wc had light showers dur
ing the greater part the day, but not suffi-
Glen copious to wet the ground below the sur
face. Still, however, the rain was evidently Of
much service. Crops look well, and with
timely rains, the prospect Of an abundant yield
was never greater. 'Iow and falling" in refer.
ence to all the water courses is still the cry.
Benjamin Stanly, who stands indicted for
the murder of John G. Pitt in July last, WAS
arrested u few days since and lodged in the
public prison Of this parish.
The Democratic Convention in Caldwell parish,
met in the court house in Columbia, on the 7th
inst, and appointed delegates to the State and
District Conventions, and recommended the
Hon. Mark Boatner to the State Convention
for nomination for Governor
The Monroe (Ouachita parish) Register, Of
Thursday last, says Ae
The weather at present is very warm for the
season of the year. Since our last issue, how
ever, there has been fine refreshing rain, and
the crops on the east bank OF the Ouachita
river are now looking as well as we have seen
them for years. The crops on the hill lands
were too much injured by the drought we
fear, to recover to any great extent
The Ouachita is again too low for navigations
as high up as this point We are Informed by
creditab!e authority that in the neighborhood
Of Camden there are many families actually
suffering for the want Of the common necessa-
ries of life, and should the river still continue
too low for navigation, many planters will have
to haul their supplies from the Mississippi
river.

- hAsihEeSEp ChAb.-HoeNerai years ago,
man named Crabb petitoned the Senate of
Massachusetts, to change his name, because
his sweetheart refused to marry him while he
was called by so unloving cognomcn. On
the rejection of Crabb's bill by the Senate the
New York Transcript, with its peculiar tact Of
turning everything laughable to good account,
closed the sad fate of the disappointed lover
in Grabbed tragi-comedy, thus:
Now let us imagine for moment what must
be the sad sequel of this ungallant rejection
Mr.. Isaac Crabb goes to visit his dulcinea. He
knocks at the door with trembling hand, and
while he is waiting for it to be opened he
fancies he hears her say:
eff you're Mr.. Harrison, come inf you're
Crabb, stay out"
He is presently admitted, and his mistress,
with doubtful expression of countenance,
says:
sam to address you as Mr.. Harrison, or
Mr.. -, ah oh! cannot speak the odious
name Of Mr. -"
"Crabb, madam, my name is still Crabb, l
am sorry to say it for your sake and mine. The
Legislature has declined my suit. But will
you also, my dulcinca persevere in declining
it? will"
| "Dont slide up to me. cannot bear a
critter that goes sideways. Keep your claws
off mel"
"Ah, cruel shall never have the pleasure
of calling you Mrs. Crabb? Shall no young
Crabbs climb upon our knees to share our af.
fections and kisscs?'
"No, I'll have no such critters poking about
me; I'm sure they must all be married men,
or incorrigible old bachelors"
"Whatever they may be- there's no hope
for them at all. But why should mere name
separate two beings whose hearts are firmly
unitcd?'
"Any other name could abide--but to
think of sleeping with -"
"We shall both be crabs together"
mot by jug full. Hav'nt told you often
enough ----?"
=" Is that your ultimatum, then? Must TO-
cede? Must l retrogradep Must advance
backwards? Farewell, then, most lovely, cruel
woman! Farewell, most unfeeling Legislatures
Farewell, all the joys and delights of matri-
mony! lncontincntly will I drown myself
I'll make my bed in deep water with my rel.
low Crabbs.n
Then all ye lovers when ye go
A-fshing in the sea,
And find "Crab' upon your hook,
Then think--oh, think of me-
died because was Crabb,
My love was "crabbed" TOO,
And yet che would not be Crabb,
For all that could do
All, "crabbed" fate, above my bones,
There rests no marble slab;
lie among the earth and stones,
poor, forgotten Crabb.

wooed her meath the Linden's shade, :
And Bess was shy and half afraid;
And when l asked-what ?-loyecs know.
Her heart said Yes! her lips said No!
O lovers when rare lips say No,
Let not your hope grow less, grow less;
For oft It's SO, that simple No
Is meant for Yes, is meant for Yes.
Half hidden by silken trcss,
Her eyes were brimmcd with tenderness;
And thus she listened TILL ali, Bess!
Her heart, her soul, her lips, said Yes!
O lovers, when rare lips say No,
Let not your hope grow less, grow less;
For oft It's SO, that simple No

have heard Of cool things, but never any thing
cooler than the following: The landlord of a
hotel at Whitehall called boarder to him one
day, and said: "Looko here? want you TO
pay your board bill and you mast I've asked
you for it often enough; and tell you now,
that you don't leave my house till you pay it:'

"SAM" IN MMpEN.--This ubiquitous person.
age, has, it seems, found his way into the in
terror of our State. The editor Of the Homer
Gazette was in Mindon on Saturday last, at
which time the municipal election, came off in
that place. The issue was strictly between
"Sam" and the 'unterrifed,' and as such may
be considered as fair test Of the strength Of
the KnowNcthings The result for Mayor
was as follows;
w. j. Blackburn, 40 4
G. L. Trott, o.. Blackburns mai. 25
Tho entire Know Nothing ticket for Town
Counclmen was elected by similar majority.
There was strong wire pulling on each side,
but "Sam pulled telegraph wires, which wor-
kcd rather fast for the irregular 2:4o trot Of
the opposition, and, ofcourse, their man came
'trottng' out most awfully behind to the great
chagrin and terror Of the unterriled. "Sam"
is rather fast individual the last we heard Of
him he was in Richmond, Va, and Of course
we had not the most remote idea of meeting
him in Minden. How he got there is unac-
countable. Fast age this, truly.

SOMETHING OF BEAR STonY.--A gentleman
who has travelled in Texas tells the following
Of one of the first settlers in Austin county, Of
that State, and which, ofcourse, is vouched for
as being literally true:
In the summer Of 1927, he said he was on.
gagged in getting timber in the Brazos Bottom,
and the cane being SO thick, he had to cut
pathway through somefifty yards to get to tho
best timber-trees, and, as it was customary in
those days, no one ever went from their houses
without their rifles Having occasion enc day
to como out Of the break to see some neigh.
bors, who had ridden as near as they could
without riding in tho cane, he left his rife and
walked over to the edge Of the cane to whore
his friends were sitting on their horses After
conversiug some time they left, ard he turned
to go to his timber; but, to his surprise and
astonishment what should he behold, after
advancing about fifteen PAGES toward the tree,
but q huge bear sitting erect on his launches,
with his rife cooked, and aimed in u direct
range with the pathway in which he was re.
turning, and, For me- says he in relating it,
Il felt as if fmy days were numbered. l had
no way to retreat except along my straight
little path, and just commenced getting on
my knees for the last Tine as l thought,
when the bear seeing this, did his best to fire
Int Providence was on my side; my rifle was
double trigger, and Bruin did not understand
it, and that was all that saved me"

The HEAT OF HELI.-The Cleveland Herald,
commenting upon the late speculations about
the temperature of hell, made by Father Wal
worth week or two since, says:
The temperature of hell has exercised the
speculations of very many divines, but we
think the talented and eccentric Burchard,
mnst take the palm for glowing illustration of
the question. Burchard once passing through
furnace with theological pupil, stopped and
gazed into the white heat of the melted iron.
Said he, in his deep, solemn, musical voice !.
"Do you wish to know how hot hell is? I'll
tell you. 1t is so much hotter than that fiery
furnace, that supposing being who could
live in hell, should jump thence into that fur.
