to bayou on the route, where he stopped in the morning, to await the return of the Doctor and the Irishman, and to ferry them back over the bayou in the evening Hav- ing remained at the bayou till it had grown quite late in the evening, and becoming somewhat uneasy because they did not re- turn, the young man set out and went to the lake that evening where he supposed he would find his brother (the Dr. and the Irishman. But he could find no trace of them that evening, nor could he find the ferry boat and canoe which they had with them. No intelligence was received from them through the night, and the Doctors family having become much alarmed from fear of their having been drowned, sent in quest of them early the next morning, and in arriving at the lake where they had been engaged in cutting the ice, the Doctors overcoat was found upon the bank of the lake, his hat was next found upon the sur face of the water in the way which had been blocked ont through the ice, but noth- ing could be seen of either of them, upon which it became evident that they had been drowned. Upon search having been made by several gentlemen of the neighborhood, the bodies were drawn up from beneath the water, by means of an iron hook, attached to the end of pole. How uncertain is this life! The Droctor in fine health and spirits, and in the prime of life, and vigor ot manhood, had left home and family the day previous, and was thus found the vic tim of most unfortunate accident, be- meath watery death bed! When we are called upon after lingering illness that has long made life burden or after we have attained to ripe old age, to quit the stage of action here, we are even then ap- palled at the solemn thought of death.- But to be thus ushered from time into eter- nlty without warning, or moments time for reflection and that too ere life has reach- ed its meridian, and in the bloom of health teaches us the importance of the admonition contained in the text from which his funer- al was preached by the Rev. E. II. English, "Iherefore be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not the sun of man cometh."
 Dr. Harris had been citizen of Monroe county since lS49, in which year he came rom CoiharSo, Miss, here. lo say that he was a worthy citizen, of sterling integ- rity, and possessed much charity of dispo- sitlon and energy of character, is but tribute which all who knew him will ac- knowledge to be just-we have known him long and intimately. He was ever duti- ful son. a kind and affectionate husband, true and magnanimous brother, and too keenly will his loss be felt by his aged father, his bereavcd wife and his younger brothers and sisters, who have so long leaned trustingly and afectionately, upon his manly arm, for the various kind offices ot noble and generous hearted brother- The lrlshman's name was George Brown, he was stranger here, but we are inform ed that he was an honest, intelligent and faithful fellow. $. r.

 A JOKING MATCH.-The New Orleans Mirror ssysa wager for large amount was made some four weeks since, between two men of the Southern Literary Society (whose names we withhold for reasons. as to their comparative quickness in making a Joke. There was written agreement, signed by each of them, by which the de- clSlon Of the point was referred to three dlslnterested judges, without appeal. On Saturday evening, July Sd, they met to make trial and decide the issue. By the articles of agreement it was understood that the judges were to select and announce the subject of the joke without the previous knowledge of the contesting parties. Ac- cordlngly, after some delay, and the crack Ing of some preliminary jokes, as the hor- ses dance around to get Timber before en- terlng the race, the judges gave the first gentleman brandy" as his subject.

 EDITOR TRUE DEMocRAT-As the time is fast approaching when member to Con. gress, in lieu of the Hon. Albert Rust. who 1t is declared, will not be candidate. mpst be elected, 1t behooves the voters of South Arkansas to be prospective and caraful in selection. This appears to be momentous time with the south-a time in which none but the most able, experienced and ener getic men should be placed in the national council. A number of names have already appeared; and doubtless many more will appear before long. Among the names is that of Col. F. w.. Can't, who, to the writer's knowledge, is gentleman, thor ough going democrat and an able lawyer. Were he elected to represent the southern district of Arkansas in Congress, doubtless he would perform his part well. But there IS one who, if elected to represent South Arkansas, would not only perform his part well, but by his experience, his tact and his acknowledged ability would prove host against northern aggression and fana- ticism. The gentleman alluded to. has filled several of1ices-is known as an able jurlsconsult throughout the State. As 9 debater, he has few superiors. When dis trlct attorney he seldom failed in bringing the guilty to justice. When circuit judge hiS courts were noted for order, decorum and justice. In fine, Gen. T. F. Sorrells. Of Warren, Bradley county. is emphatically the man to succeed the Hon. Albert Rust It IS hoped, that the democracy of South Arkansas will look we'll to their interest. ere they make selection, that the balance be well poised. The times demand it. If they act as it seems they should, Gen. Sor rels will have nothing to fear, if his name be before the convention for nomination. 'Justlt'a fat, eoIam raul"

ANEW YORK BELLE BARELY ESCAPES MARRIAGE WITH BoGUs CUBAN. A New lork correspondent says that during the late excitement caused by the Oveido nuptials, fellow representing himself as a Cuban took lodgings of Mrs. S-, Blocker street. His landlady, who had read everything about Miss Barlett's trosseau (costing something short of S60O, OOO) gave him her best experiments and most desirable attentions, for she had lerned from the best authority (his own) that he was single, and, like Signor Oveido, owned countless negroes amp incalculable wealth. She presented her daughter Jose phine, pretty blonde, gushing, silly, and fresh from school, to the shallow his millionaire, and almost threw her into his arms. The bait was eagerly sallow and the wooing and cooing and betrohing were hurried up as expeditously as ever were the old lady's buckwheat cakes. Mrs. S--soon had the pleasure of annoucing that her daughter was engaged to Cuban almost as rich as Miss Bartlett's inace.
 Don Orchando Terreo, alias Castro de Mentchermoso, her would-be son-in-law. being affected with modesty, desired private wedding, to which Josephine, who had no father, made no objection. Her uncle, an old sea captain, arrived about nine days ago, and was let into the secret, and introduced to the intended The old salt went through the ceremony rather stitfly, and soon after demanded private interview with his sister-in-aw.
 "Jane," said he, in gruff abruptness, you may marry this fellow if you like, but my brothers daughter never shall!"
 Why not? He is Cuban gentleman, and as rich as-''

ANOTHER LADY GAY SPANKER.-Lady Stamford who 1t seems, considers herself, and with every reason, too, a firstrate stee- ple-chaser finding few can surpass her dar- ing or defeat her in a long run, has, says the court circular, with the chivalrtic met tie of more primitive days, challenged an other lady, renowned for her cross-country daring, and who presumes herself mighty huntress before her liege lord, to an eques- trian tournament across a rather difficult country for f500 side The challange has been, we believe, accepted, and the trial between the fair opponents will come offshortly.
