In a Tight Place.

AT L---------. on Sunday eve
ming, fatigued by his long journey,
WAGNER With his son John drove
his team into a good range and de-
termined to pass the Sabbath, en-
ioying season of worship with
the good folk of the village. T. >.
When the time for worship ar
rived John was set to watch the
team, while the WAGNER went in
with the crowd. The preacher
hardly announced his subject be-
fore the old man fell sound asleep,
He sat against the partition inthe
centre of the body slip while just
against him, separated only by the
very low partition, sat a fleshy
lady, who SCENES all absorbed in
the sermon. She struggled hard
with her feelings, until unable to
controlthem any7longer, she burst
out with a loud scream, and shout
ed at the top of her voice, rousing
the old man, who, but half awake,
thrust his arms around her waist,
and cried very soothingly: %
"Wo, Nance! dWo! Wo!-Here
John, cut the bellyband, and loose
the preaching, quick, or she'll tear
everything in pieces! 1t was all
the work of a moment, but the Sis
ter forgot to shout, the preacher
lost the thread of his discourse, and
the meeting came prematurely to
to an end; while deeply mortified,
the poor old man slaulked away,
determined not to 60 to meeting a.
gain until he could manage TO
keep his senses by remaining a.
wake. 10 i9''af- i go- Ja

CLOVIS Gold To-Day"

There was time when if we met
A friend upon the street, ~ i-'
He talked on ncommon themes-the war,
~ The cold or else the heat, ,eG Ee
And took an interest in ones health;
That time has passed away; s,l+
Now, no one asks us how we do,
But, chow is gold today"
These words pervade the atmosphere,
AT weddings, funerals, balls,
Nomatter where upon our ear
The anxious question falls;
You go to see the girl you love.
TO drive your cares away, . -
You kiss, and then she 'swsetly says,
"Oh L how is gold to-day?p .rG
If gold is up or gold is down, ..-
What good for me to 1now9
There is no jingle in my purse, = ~

And long to soar away sg ..gt
To lands of peace, where no one asks,
"Well, how is gold to-day?"-

A New Dodge ofthe Freed
men,.

We deem it our duty to put our
planters on their guard against a
new danger which, in their inter-
course with their freed laborers,
they will have to encounter and
the consequences of, which may
prove disastrous to their future
operations. Sos -sEo $4,000 q
The instance we are going to
cite occurred on the plantation of
one of our own relatives in Loui-
siana, and we have heard that
others have been recorded in our
own State. a.Ti.2 soe1.irsv .
The gentleman had engaged
above fifty hands and raised a crop
of cotton, sugar and corn; the cot
ton for immediate sale, the cane to
plant and stock for nextIyear, and
the corn for the support of hands
till next crop. But before the
corn was ripe he had necessarily
to buy his own supply, and when
gathering time came on, he-had
only to provide for a1few months
longer out of the new crop. He
had calculated this would require
about l, 800 bushels, and leave.him
$4,000 bushels for his next wears
supply. s- 9.f l9 H.4.da ~
But the freedmen, who were'en-
gagged simply by contract ex-
piring with the year, had also
shrewdly calculated that all the
corn they required to reach the
term of their contract was the
l 500 bushels, and when once that
quantity, a little more or less, had
been gathered, they ceased to take
any further interest in the balance,
which, notwithstanding the en-
Treaties and persuasions of the
planter. was allowed to rot in the
field. The freedmen just p1ovi-I
ded for themselves and left the
planter to protect himself as best
be could. This is an indication
of what may be expected from the
present stock of laborers; when
employed on shares, they will take
their time under pretext that they
are their own masters, and ifthey |
don't work they will be the losers,
and are willing soto be. jGTyo. al
e When employed atstated wages
and for stated periods, they will
not even consent to raise more 1
provisions than the very quantity
they expect to need for their own I
support ; thus leaving the planter
without any stock to commence |
operations for the following cant

inquired why she had stopped him.
She made no satisfactory reply to this.
but put forth her best efforts to beguiIe

The Dead BODY Of UhIId Discovered
| on the River Shore.


Yesterday morning Mr.. Joseph Nc
Gill had occasion to pass along the river
shore, and while walking along had
his attention attracted by an object
lying half concealed under an old
stump short distance above the Sus-
pension Bridge. Proceeding to exam
inc 1t, he lifted up corner OF paper
which covered it, and discovered the
dead body of a male child, partly
wrapped up in the undertaking OF a
woman. Mr.. McGill ut once informed
the authorities of the matter, and yes
terday afternoon, at o'clock, a jury OF
inquest assembled on the spot, under
summons issued by Justice johnson.
The jury WAS composed of the follow
ing gentlemen: John Donovan. Joseph
lively, Lewis Pracht, g. T. Sopefier,
John NJ. EnsingeF, w. G. Smyers,
John Pfaar, Jacob Strobel, August
Hoffman, NJ. Sherim, John Walters,
and James Hampton.
After viewing the body and hearing
the evidence in the case, the Jury gave
verdict that the body was that of n
still born male child, and that it had
been exposed by some person un-
known.
There were no marks about the cloth
ing, which was of fine quality, that
could give any clue TO the party or par
ties who had left the child. The only
mark was the figures IT9 in India ink.
The child had evidently been born but
| n short time.
