NoTE.-By comparing this with last year :
report, it would appear that the indebtedness
Of the county was reduced, during the last
year, TO the amount of 300 Dollars when
it appears by the statement Of receipts and ex-
pend.tureS, that the expenditures exceeded
the receipts. This discrepancy is accounted
for by the fact that after the last years reports
were made Harry Ellis, late Treasurer. paid
over 81 3l9 Ga, on his account, which Orders
Gere cancelled and checked on our Books

No USE FOR TRoUsERS.-On the NOR
ming of the meteoric shower in 1888, old
Peyton Roberts who intended making
an early start to his work got up in the
midst of the display. On going to his
door he saw with amazement the sky
lighted up by the falling meteors and he
concluded at once that the world was on
fire and the day of judgment had come.
He stood for a moment gazing in
speechless horror sprang out of the door
into the midst Of the falling stars and
here series of ground tumbling that
woulo have done honor to a rope dancer.
His wife being awakened in the mean
time and seeing old Peyton jumping and
skipping about the yard called out to
him t. know what in the name o sense
he was doin' out thar danciu' around
without his clothes. But Peyton heard
not, the judgment and the long black ac
count he would have to settle, made him
needless of all terrestrial things and his
wife becoming alarmed at his behavior
sprang out of bed and running to the
door shrieked out at the Top her lungs:
''Peyton, | say Peyton what do you
mean jumpin' about out thar Come in
and put your trowsers on"
Old Peyton whose fears had nearly
overpowered him family answered as he
fell sprawling on the earth

may suffer in the way l have alluded to,
but the buyer, and through him the COM

benefit from a transaction, gone into on
such favorable terms, which will render
productive some six or seven thousand
acres of superior land that have lately
yielded next to nothing. Between the
place l am now talking about and Kai

tons, such as the Rev. Mr.. Tay ylor's,
Mr.. Charles Halls, Mr.. p aris', Mr.. John-
sons, Mr.. Greenwell's, and l do not
know how many besides, but it was not
part of the country to be overlooked,
and believe that those who have up to
the present time settled there do not find
any reason to regret that step.

INDUsTRloUS IDLENEss.--Curran' S
notions of industry were somewhat ludi-
crous. An hour to him was day to
another man and in his natural capa-
bilities his idleness found powerful
auxiliary. A single glance made him
master of the subject; and though imag-
ination could not supply him with facts,
still it very often became successful
substitute for authorities. He once said,
in serious refutation of what he called
the professional calumnies on this sub
ject, that he was quite as laborious as
was necessary for any nisi prius advo-
cate to be. For" said he, with the ut
most simplicity, 81 always perused my
briefs carefully when l was concerned
for the plaintiff, and it was not necessa-
ry to do it for the defendant, because,
you know. Icould pick mp tie facts from
tie opposite counseL's statements" This
was what Curran considered being abo-
rious and, to say the truth, it was at
best but an industrious idleness.
