Counterfeitels.

Business men cannot be too much on their
guard agains: counterfeits. The Nashville
Dispatch says there is a set of travelling
scouudrels who are out for the special pur-
pose of palming them off on the community.
4 couple of the scoundrels were in Pulaski
on Monday last, and tried to pass counter
felt SOS in almost evey house in town; but
succeeded at only one house. One of them
was arrested by our town constable; but af-
forwards succeeded in making his escape.
The new counterfeit treasury not recently
put in circulation is said to be admirably
executed, and well calculated to deGsive
even those protesting to be experts ID de-
tecting spurious currency.

Railway Business DIRECTORY.

Messrs Berry, Salter & Co, Louisville,
propose publishing a Railway Business Di-
rectory, embracing the names, business.
and location. of all parties doing business in
Louisville. Nashville, Memphis, Decatur,
Huntsville, Chattanooga, Atlanta, and in
termediate points. A caDvasser has already
visited Pulaski, and We are glad to learn,
received great encouragement at the hands
Of our citizens. A few fTst-class adver-
tisements will be inserted on liberal terms,
and will be interspersed among the statisti-
cal information.

SALT Your CHIMNEY.-If building a
chimney, put a quantity of salt into the
mortar with which the intercourses of the
brick are to be laid. The effect will be that
there will never be any accumulation of SCOT
in that chimney. The philosophy is thus
stated: The salt in the portion of mortar
which is exposed absorbs moisture form the
atmosphere every damp day. The SCOT
thus becoming damp, falls down to the
fireplace. This appears to be an English
discovery. It is used with success in
Canada.

An LttrOcious attempt at Murder

Samuel Drake, (colored) attempted to
murder his wife at Copeland Whltfeld's
farm, on Tuesday night last, by cutting
her throat. He had previously fallen out
with her and taken up his quarters at the
adjoining plantation of Mrs. Skillen. for what
cause we are uaable to state; but he was so
highly offended at her for some reason or
other, that he boldly threatened and delibe-
rately planned her destruction. According
", on the night above mentioned about
the hour OF mid might, he stealthily entered
the cabin where his wife and her parents
were sleeping. and fendishly cut her throat,
inficting ghasdy wound, from which she
is not likely to recover.
The bold rascal told his mother-in-law
that he would kill her daughter and make
his escape to Huntsville before the deed
could be discovered, and if necessary would
murder white man for money to bear his
expenses.
He was formerly Federal soldier, and
his discharge is now 10 the hands of an Of
ficer, from which we learn that be was a
private in Capt. W. H. Wildey's Co., III. J
18th U. S. c. l., "a years old, feet and 5
inches high. black and born in Macon Co.,
Miss, but claimed Huntsville as his home.

Sunday Guards.
The special object of this corps being to

1.-THE bubble reputation
at the Church's mouth"
the members thereof will report for duty,
by order of General GAzER, under the i'm
mediate direction of IMP U-DEHcE, Asst.
Adjt. Gen., at the Methodist and Presbyte-
rian Churches, punctually at II o'clock, on
every Sunday morning.
At the close of services members of the
corps will push forward to the church door,
and form a dress parade Immediately in
front of the steps, or in the vestibule. The
denser the line, and the nearer to the foot
of the steps, the more agreeable. of course,
to the ladies coming down them.
The command will be armed Extensively
with large amount of brass, and offensive
ly with pair of gazing eyes. Each man
will be provided with reserve supply Of
side-remarks and pointed observations, also
with several rounds of applause, in case
anybody should say good thing.
The men are enjoined to shoot low. Gal
ways aim at the feet of the enemy"
The object of this Parade being to evince
in delicate way the loyal respect and rev.
erence which we bear to woman, the Gene
raj commanding is happy to inform his sol
diers that he has oral testimony to the eff
feet that his chIvalric observaace is duly
appreciated by those whom we thus ode
light to honor"
He takes this occasion also to congratu-
late the command upon the regularity with
which they have heretofore been found al
their posts. The books are still open for g
| few select recruits.

The Biggest and the Best.

Greed Flippin can lay folks in the shade
in mare ways than one. He has sent US
some beets, one of which weighed three
pounds and twelve ounces. Can anybody
beat It?
We are indebted to Mrs Amis for some
of the largest onions we have seen; One
of them weighed a pound.
We challenge the entire community to
beat these beats and onions, or to equal
the potatoes sent US several weeks ago by
David Cox.

A WRITER, in Chambers Journal, thus
beautifully paints true female nobility
"The woman" says he, ''poOr and ill-clad
as she may be, who balances her income
and expenditure, who tolls in unrepiniDg
mood among her well trained children, and
presents them morning and evening, as
offerings of love, in rosy health and cheer
full cleanliness, is the most exalted of her
sex. Before her shall the prOudest dame
bow her jeweled head, and the bliss of a
happy heart shall dwell with her forever"

WhiskY and Newgpapers.

A glass of whisky is manufactured per-
haps from dozen grains of corn, the value
of which is too small to be estimated. A
glass of this mixture sells for twenty-five
cents. and if of a good brand is considered
well worth the money. 1t fires the brain,
sharpeus the appetite, deranges and weak
ems the physical system. On the same
sideboard on which the deleterious beverage
is served, lies newspaper. 1t is covered
with half million of types-it brings in
formation from the four quarters of the
globe. The newspaper costs less than the
glass of grOg--the juice of few grains of
corn-but it is no less strange than true
that there is large number of people who
think corn juice cheap and newspapers too
high. And it is still more wonderfully true
that hundreds of men aretoo poor, or too
hard run, to take newspaper, and yet they
are able to spend four times four, and some
of them forty time four dollars for whisky.

Brick Pomaeroy to Bin Arp-A Racy Letter.
Did you hear anything drap up this way?
Something fell down! The man at the
other end of the avenue snapped cap,
Bill, just to see if the nipple was clear!-
That cap means businessl Il is some ways
to the other end of the avenue where the
vulture have gathered to feed upon the
corpse so terribly mangled, but the mar
at the other end of the avenue has a quick
eye, cool brain, steady nerve, and his
gun is ready! Just you sit down behind
a stump like, and keep cool 1t is dog
goned aggravating to keep cool in fight,
but you must do it. The report of that
cap whistled from Maine to Minnesota. and
several million of true sportsmen are ready
to load for the man at the other end of the
avenue to fire.
And tell your folks there to keep still
to plant their cotton, corn, rice and sugar
cane. Give them good advice. Bill. Help
them smooth down the hillocks, and level
the sod over the graves where so many of
your brave boys and our boys are sleeping
together. Build up the houses our boys
pulled down, and as soon as we get our war
duds off, we will help you, Bill. You see
we are unhitching the team which ran away
and broke down your gates. We don't like
the team any better than you did. Your
gate post was our gate post. The team
that broke it down was bad one-the man
at the other end of the avenue is unhitching
it, Tell your folks to be brave in peace as
they were in war.
The early winds of Spring are of more
account than you dream of. They are blow
ing the dead leaves out of the forest. They
are blowing the dead ducks far out to seal
They are clearing away the debris-wheel-
ing the little sticks hither and yon. Rolling,
flying, and eddying around, the leaves and
twigs are leaving their late resting place,
and it will not be long, Bill, before all this
rubbish will be removed, and the grass and
flowers will again beautify the earth as be-
fore. And there shall be no more prowling,
and no more Poachers. The man at the
other end of the avenue is not clown,
bufoon, vulgar jester, low wit, boor-
ish story teller. Alb, no, Bill He is a
very good. man, and you viii like him
