Some ten years ago there lived on
the St. Charles Road, nine or ten
miles from St. Louis, a family by the
name of Stranger. The Oldest son,
Jacob, or Jake Stranger. as he was
called, was the most eccentric genius.
and took every occasion to show his
oddness. One day while sitting be-
fore the fire, whiting shingle, his
mother said to him:
-Jake, l want you to go down IS
the store (about half mile distant)
and get me quarters worth Of tea.
and u quarters worth of soap Now
mind what tell you, Jake, and be
back quick with it.''
Jake reused himself up, brushed
the WRITINGS from his lap, and
started forth, clothed in his fustian
breeches and vest of the same mate
rial, and a thick WOODEN shirt, with
out any coat. He did not return that
day, and his mother waited long and
anxiously for her tea, sugar and soap;
but in vain.
Ten years passed by and no It'd
ings We're heard Of the Grant boy.
Yesterday, as the family were sitting
down to their Thanksgiving dinner,
the door opened, and in came tall,
moustached, good-looking man, with
some bundles in his hand. It was
Jake Stranger. All the family sprang
to their feet in establishment, but the
mother and Jake We're perfectly cool.
"Mother," said Jake, 'here's your
tea, sugar, and soap
LAY them down OBJ the table, and
eat your dinner" said Mrs. Stranger,
you ought to be whipped, Jake, for
being gone so long"

On last Saturday evening the Sen
tinels had a grand dress parade, the
best of the season. Ali Of the mem
beers were not out, on account Of their
uniforms not being quite complete.
When all the members turn out full
rugged, this company will be hard to
beat. We would suggest the pro-
priety Of not carrying the cartridge
boxes in parades until all hands can
do so, for it spoils the effect to see the
majority without them. Let there be
as much uniformity as possible.

Tragedy in New York City,
Frecaom Of .Speech.-In New York
on Friday night last, John Swain
was Instantly killed at the house of
John IL. linens, by man named
Merritt, under the following circum-
stances. 1t appears that Merritt aud
Swain had Il conversation, in which
the latter made use Of the remark,
that
off he was a Southerner he would
trample the American flag under his
foot, but what he would have his
rights and the freedom of carrying
slaves into any territory that he saw
fit, and would hold them there in
spite OF the North.''
1t is also said that he used the fol-
lowing language:
"Any man who was Southerner
and would not side with those South
in hauling down the stars and stripes
in defence of what he claimed to be
their rights, was id coward, and
was fit only to be classed with such
arbitrary abolitionists as Abe Lin
coin"
Swain, it is said, after using the
above remarks, walked towards the
door with a view, no doubt, of going
up stairs into his store but before
he got to the steps, Merritt, who was
highly enraged at what Swain had
said, seized a large horse pistol and
fired at Swain, the ball entering the
left breast, near the heart, killing him
almost instantly. The deceased was
spoken of as being very respectable
and quiet man.

John II. Reagan, Esq, Postmaster
General, passed through our town
day before yesterday on his way to
Richmond. He was perfectly aston
ished TO hear that Postmaster Riddle,
Of New Orleans, had issued stamps;
and informed our Postmaster that
letters brought up by steamboats,,
having those stamps upon them,
would have to be repaid for at this
Office and further, our postmaster
cannot receive letters, destined for
New Orleans, prepaid in the stamp
referred to. They are Of no benefit
outside of the New Orleans post
office, as they are an individual
stamp, gotten up for the accommoda-
ton Of the citizens of that city.
Don't speculate in them, they are poor
property.

The Right Spirit.

Memphis is destined to be a great
commercial place; she has been re-
tarded in her progress for few years
back; but now her people are exert
ing themselves and the change will
soon be apparent. Shreveport might
well take pattern after her, for We
are now standing with arms folded
while our neighbors are busy (taking
advantage of the times) doing all in
their power for the welfare of their
people hereafter, and the progress of
the places in which they live. Let
lis awaken unto proper sense of our
duty. Now, or never. Says the
Memphis Appcal:
Memphis seems already to fill n
large space in the Northern eye, and

we are determined torival even Lynn.
We learn that our neighbor Childs, Of

here an extensive shoe factory, and
with this view, they are selling out

arrangements


Dear Sir: / received your letter
yesterday, and Judging from its tenor
you have not received my last. The
southern mails are now closed, and ]
viii have to either send this by hand
OF per Adams Express. If l We're
TO put this in the post-otlice, the
ID Internal fends at Washing
ton would read it--and doubtless
they would hear some Unwholesome
truths.
You ask me about kentucky. Her
position is peculiar and unique. We
have seven hundred miles of our bor-
der exposed to an enemy three or four
times our strength, and our people
are divided in sentiment. There is,
as you knew, quite Il number Of
Northern men living here and some
of our native born citizens are eman-
cipationists. Thesc things have ex-
cited the fears Of property holders,
and aroused the base prcjudiccs of
our foreign citizens, aud many of our
working men. Thus you see that
there is rather II powerful party who
tavors coercion. But the great heart
Of Kentucky beats i'll sympathy with
the South, and laughs with cxulting
JOY at her success, and mournS at her
loss. As State, We have decided TO
remain neutral. If Lincoln's van
dals place their sacrilegious feet upon
our soil, we will "welcomc them with
bloody hands to lIospitab!e graves"
But we will furnish you with pro-
visions, etc, and every night a COM
pany leaves for Virginia to fight in
the holy cause Of the South. Thou
sands and tens of thousands Of our
young men will shed their blood and
lay down their lives if necessary, in
this second war Of independence.
Tho poor federal fools think that
Missouri, Maryland and Kentucky,
are subducd hut they slumber on a
surging volcano. We burn with a
fierce desire for revenge; the more
terrible for being concealed. Thou
sands Of so called Union men are
with US heart and soul, and only act
from policy, not from principle. The
first success of the Confederate army
will be Il signal. The pent up fires
in Maryland will burst forth so terri
bly, that the abolitionists within her
bowler will be consumed. The noble
State will rise as one man, throw off
the shacklts Of the odd wreck" and
put on the bright robes of Constitu-
tional freedom.
Our State is able, and will preserve
her neutrality until the Confederate
States achieve their independence
then we will Join you. In the mean
time we erect 4 barrier against your
enemies, furnish you men, money and
provisions to carry on the war; but
our State will not be the battle
ground. This policy, although cow
ardly, is prudent. You ask how l
stand. You ought to know that l
am with the South, body and soul,
heart and hand, for all time to come,
through veal and Woe, let her be
right on wrong; and of our young
men, nineteen out of twenty occupy
the same position. Onr fathers
mothers, sisters and sweethearts, al.

icy above mentioned, tell US to 60 anc

IN one of our ISSUES last week We
insinuated that q ilag presented to
the News Office, by the ladies', would
be most graciously received by the
chief engineer Of the establishment.
Kind readers, don't be afraid, to read
the following note. We omit the
signatures attached to the note, but
mean no offence, and when We tell you
our reason for SO doing, we know you
will forgive us for it. After Il care
i'ui perusal Of Ike note, We concluded
to leave off the signatures, because,
there wasn't any! The good book
advises Us not to let the left hand
know what the right hand doctlt.-
This we presume accounts for the
omission Of signature(*) to the note.
