DEARTn OF NEws-News, at the present
moment, is as difficult to be obtained as water
in these diggings. Moneys scarce enough, but
news am scarcer. We have heard nothing
about nobody worth printing, and have ex-
amined our exchanges in vain for some as
founding developments. We are all on tip-toe
peeping over old Futures fence, endeavoring
to know our future nominee for Governor and
other State officers, and we can assure our
most worthy patrons, that if they will patiently
await our next issue, we will tell them all
about it-and something besides that's not
about it. We have been hurriedly informed
that Mrs. johnson has on a new gown, but we
apprehend that this is a mistake, for we have
reason to believe that the one in which she ap-
peared before the citizens of this County on
last Friday is her old one turned inside out
to suit the present political fashion.

a severe accident on Tuesday last. While
riding in his buggy the horse became unman.
