is, too, in its way. True, there are some very
poor attempts at wit IN it, but scarcely a

Here is a very good anecdote, reminding one
somewhat of Mrs. Stoves "Topsy:"
During the last Winter, a "coutraband -

and was marched up TO the officer of the day,
to give an account of himself, whereupon the
following coIloquy ensued:
"W bats your name?'
"My names Sam
"Sam what?'
"No, sab; not Sam Watt. I'se jist Sam"

Narrow Escape.

Our village made a narrow escape from
fire last Sunday afternoon. 1t was terri
bic day. The wind blew perfect hurri-
cane until nearly night. The dust and
gravel flying in the air were insufferable to
the face and eyes, and hence no one went
out from their comfortable quarters, unless
absolutely compelled to do so. The church
0s in the morning were empty. But as is
usual on windy days, prairie fire broke
out. The fire probably originated on the
farm Of S. G. Brown, just south of town a
mile, which is now occupied by Mr.. Pur-
cell, from an old straw stack which had
been burned several days previous, and
which the wind of Sunday morning found
not quite dead, and soon famed into saw
age, laapng prairie fire. 1t first it was on.
ly noticed by two or three citizens. Many
were reading, and others sleeping, and the
first warning was given by rooms full o.
smoke. The citizens rushed to the rescue
and fought with a will. The flames ran al
most Up TO the livery stable of A. R. Ban
croft, and also to Mr.. Hurst's stable.
great effort was required here to subdue tn,
fire, but men threw themselves almost int
tho midst of the flames, and finally quench
ed it. Several men had their clothes, wills
kers, ETC., scorched considerably, and wer,
almost snfTocated with smoke and flame
The property of J. @. Hasksll and MI
Means also ran narrow escape from tn
devouring element. Had the livery stabl
caught f-e. there is no doubt but nearly a.
the town east of Commercial street woul
have been burned. It was through tn
pluck and daring of the citizens of the tow
that it was saved.

The Michigan Question.

Affairs in Mexico are assuming a more
threatening aspect all the time, and it will
not be surprising if, before many months,
we are in trouble with Napoleon over that
unfortunate country. A fleet of nine
French frigates lately appeared off the
mouth of the Rio Grande, and an attack on
Mattamoras is expected. A Washington
telegram of the Goth ult., says that " the
Secretary of State is understood to be In ia
vor of an immediate and energetic demon
stration against the evident deslgns of the
Mexican Empire and the Prince in connec-
ton with the great rebellion. 1t is to be
regretted if such demonstration is really
to be made, that it should have been post
poned until the moment when its only effect
must be to precipitate us into fresh and
most dangerous complications. The pres
ence Of fleet of nine or ten French frig-
ates off the mouth of the Rio Grande, of
which fact the Government is advised by
telegraph this forenoon, has large signif

As most of the winter schools have clos
ed, and the Spring has opened, your work is
now on the farm. But where are your
books? Very many have probably put
them away not expecting to see them till
next fall or winter; but this is not right
How much you will forget before that time.
No, put your books where they sill be at
hand you will have a great many oppor-
tunities to study every week. You will
have a little while every night, and perhaps
in the morning and at noon. Just count up
your idle minutes and you'll be surprised
to find how much spare time you can find
in the course of the day. Save these min
utes for study. Commence your arithmetic
and review very carefully all that you have
been over this winter at school, then 60
ahead as fast as you are able. By the next
winter you will be complete master of the
book.
If you find hard example commit it TO
memory and think it out a0IiIe yow are al
sOOrk, then you will be able to go home and
work it out on your slate. You can form
no better habit than to learn to think when
you are at work. Let me give you an illus
tration in point: Young Freeman Morse, al
the age of fourteen, left the district school, but
every spare moment was improved in read
ing and study. Though living in large
village, he frequently did not set his. foot on
the street for weeks except on Sunday
His business was ship carver. He work
ed much of the time alone, and had his book
on his bench. When about nineteen young
friend occasionally slept with him. On one
occasion his friend retired and left Freeman
at study, after awhile he also retired, and
very early in the morning, before light, was
up at his book again, and this was his com

F. Heaton, who is now in Nevada Terrific
ry, dated March 18th, in which ne states that
new miues are being discovered daily. He
writes from Florence city, and speaking of
the country says:
"Florence city, where now am, is stu
ated in the mountains, sixty-seven miles
south of Austin it is a newly discovered
quartz country, and think bids fair to be
a good one. The lodges here are larger
than they are about Austin, and many have
already been discovered, and very rich with
silver.

We learn from Henry Clark, that count
was made on the day of the township cleo
ton, and it was found that the number
of persons who had enlisted from that town
ship, and the number that would enlist up
to the first of April, was So. The number
of voters left in the township, including
those exempt from the service, is At. A
resolution was passed asking the Board of
County Commissioners to take some steps
to see that all the men who had enlisted
from this county were placed to her credit,
as it is evident that quite large number
have been credited to other counties. We
believe if all our men have been properly
credited there will be no draft here. We
hope measures will be taken by the Com
missioners next Monday to correct this mis-
take, if ID exists.
