- Cairo, Illinois, is hard place. An old
farmer, who had been badly swindled there,
said fit: IF the Angel Gabriel happens
to light at Cairo, there'n be no resurrection,
for they'll swindle him out of his trumpet be-
fore he can make single toot.'

making off with his ill.gotten booty.

The Grand Jury of Pulaski CountyA
Va, made some thi-ty.odd presentments,
last week one of which, at least, is rather
rare case. Two men, one of them Baptist
preacher of the old sort, and the other
member of the same church, swapped wives
which offence being considered contrary
to the good morals of the commonwealth,
they were all presented. So it is clear that
mans wife is not an article of personal
property, that can be traded off.
"A Medical Journal says that the de-
coction of lockwood has been successful in
cases of badness. Four large handfuls Of
the stem and leaves of the garden box are
boiled in three pints of water, in closely
covered vessel, fifteen minutes, and allowed
to stand in an open jar ten hours or more;
the liquid is then strained, and one ounce
and halfo cologne added, and with this
solution the head is we'll washed every morn

BY a somewhat remarkable coinci-
dence, it has been remarked that the years
distinguished by the appearance Of comets,
have also been distinguished by superior
vintages and the quality of the vintage has
risen in proportion to the brilliancy of the
comet. Indeed, so marked has this fact be-
come, as to assume the character of a brand
" Comet Brand"-as indicating superior
vintage. This year the vintage is'very supe-
rior, both as to quantity and quality, and we
have comet Wilmington Journal.
MIR. r. E. Ellison's hands have been
doing some rather extra picking, ofwhich We
make note. One boy picked, on the 18th
Sept, 2SS pounds of cotton, and on the
29th, S24. Another picked on the same
days, 291, and 2S2 pounds. Other boys
picked on the 29th, as follows: 235, 256,
1853. A girl picked 232; and boy nine
years old, 100. Sixteen hands, on the Goth,
gathered 3,546 pounds. Has any planter a
days picking above 324 pounds Winns-

An inquest was held by Corner K.
Hawthorn, on the 9th ult., upon the frag-
mentary remains of an infant, found near
Capt. James Harden's, in this District. The
verdict was that the child came to its death
by cause or causes unknown to the jury
From traces of hair found, the child was
known to be white. The remains were dis
covered by party of 'possum hunters. 1t
is surmised, with very high probability, that
the little unknown is cast.off of some party
of Gipsey-form vagabonds, who have been
seen in that vicinity WnnsJoro' Register.
"A friend informs us that an occur
renee in Patrick county, came to his knowl-
edge few days since, which we consider
decidedly rich. Two of the citizens of that
go-a-head sState,' having each about half
dozen children, concluded to make swap of
of an unheard of character. One proposed
to exchange wives, but the other thinking
his wife the most likely woman, said he must
have some thing to boot. 1t was finally
agreed that the one should give the other
two and half bushels of potatoes, and the
swap was made. This, We doubt not, is
fact to which our friend can furnish vouch-
ers.-DanriM N.) Transcript.
The Nashville and Chattanooga Rail
Road Company, have called upon their
operatives and employees to obligate them
selves not to seek damages from the Company
in case of any bodily injury from accident on
the road, or in the machine shops. This
will be regarded as novel requirement on
the part of corporation, and it is hardly
likely the mechanics, who are thus to be i'm
posed on, will consent to labor under such
a degrading condition. If there has been
any doubt as to the axiom that "corporations
have no SOULS" we think this soulless re-
auirement will establish its truth beyond all
doubt.
