A Vicious Sheep.

There was fellow in a certain neighborhood
in Arkansas who was strongly suspected of
sheep stealing. There were weekly many cases
Of the mysterious disappearance of choice NUT
tonsrom the focks of the planters, which was
traced to his door; but being willy and ingeni-
Gus chap, he generally succeeded in proving an
alibi, or some defence which reduced the charge
to mere suspicion. At last however, a plan
ter riding through the fields, perceived the sus-
pected sheep thief stealing from the woods, and
after looking around to see that no one was near
walked up to the flock of sheep, and deliberate
4 ly knocked over the largest and latest At
this moment, the planter rode up, and confront
ing the thief said:
1 Snow, sir, Thave got you-you can't get off /;
you are caught in the very act!'
"What act p Indignantly demanded the
thief
t'Sheep stealing?" was the confident reply
''Sir you had better mind how you charge a
respectable American citizen with such crime
as sheep stealing" replied the gentleman with a
penchdnt for mutton.
"Now, will you deny that saw you kill that
sheep?" asked the planter.
"No, sir" was the prompt answer 81 did
kill him. and I'd do it again. I'd kill anybody s
sheep that attempts to bite me as am going
peaceably along the road"

Protection OF BIRDs.-If our agricultural

number of insects he has found in the craw of a
single wren a robin or thrush, ETC., they
would feel convinced that small birds should be
protected and encouraged They are cheaper
than insect powders, and should not be destroy

shooting either of the following: The night or

wren, bluebird meadow or brown thresher, dove,
fre-bird or summer red-bird, hanging bird,
ground bird or chewink, bobolink or rice bird,
robin, snow or chipping bird, bluejay, and the
small owl The legal penalty for shooting eth

PROSPECTUS
OF TIE
Oxford Intelligencer.

900
IT proposed to establish at Oxford, Mississippi
weekly Journal under the foregoing title, and to is
sue the first number ON or about the LIST day of june
1860.
TIE ISrELLIGEScER will not he the organ Of any
man, or of any clique or combination Of individuals;
but il will cndeavor faithfully to represent the views
and sentiments of the community of Oxford and La
fayette county, and to uphold and foster all the great
MISREPRESENTATION, agricultural, material social
and moral-with which the highest welfare of our PEG
pie is identified. z
The fundamental doctrines IF the State Rights
school of Democracy will constitute the guides by
which the political of the paper will be con-
trollcd; and while the INTELLIGENcER will sustain
Southern institutions and the of the South with
energy and ZEAL it will do calmly, and only by
son and argument-remembcring that there is zeal
which SIS not according to knowledge" and whose
only weapons are empty defamation and appeals to
popular ignorance, passion, and prejudice. 1t will
eamest ysuppor the principles andorganization of the
Democratic party but, at the same time, it will be
courteous to those of our feow-citzens who are pO
litically opposed to it will it descend, in any
case to personal abuse and vilifcation
The Editor first saw the light in Tennessee, but

ted He is a graduate of the University of Missis-

ISOLATION and affection and it will he his contant duty
to show that he is not unmndiul of those obligations
which he owes TO her.
Nothing will appear in the columns Of the ISTELLI-
GEScER which the Editor docs not believe to be true
for it is his purpose to establish for the paper repu
taton both at home and abroad which shall its
every statement of fact to be implicitly relied on.
The Editor will studously avoid all controversies,
as far as the may be avoided with proprety by
one whose duty il will be to call things by their right
