Maj.-Gen. Il. w. JOHNSON, Vice President.
FELIX X. CHEATHAM. Secretary.
JOSEPH SAUDEK, GenI I'm. Agent.
THE LEADING OBJECTS OF THE COM
1 PANl are to encourage immigration to our
State, and to supply the demand for every deSeriP
ton of labor.
They propose to accomplish the first of these
objects by purchasing lands, where suitable water
power or other advantages may be had for manu-
featuring purposes; and also by purchasing lands
IN large tracts near cities, rivers and railroads
These lands will be divided into suitable lots or
tracts and alternate tracts sold to the immigrant
at or near cost, the purchaser paying sOne-fOurth
cash and the remainder in one, two and three
years.
The Company will also act as agent for large
landholders who desire to have their lands colo
niZed.
The Company proposes to supply the demand
for labor by furnishing Mechanics, Gardeners, and
all description of labOreTS. They will secure this
labor by being able to guarantee employment 1T
remuneratlve prices in the most healthy and
genial climate of the world, and they expect to
satisfy the employer by guaranteeing the deliver
ing.of the laborers to him at any shipping point
railroad station. Our system for furnishing all
kinds Of labor to all parts Of the State expect
TO make perfect; For the detail We refer TO our
circular on labor.
The profits of the Company will be derived from
the ultimate sale of the alternate tracts of lands
retained, and from the building up of villages and
towns in places adapted to that purpose, and from
the aiding of manufactures aud the general deYel
opmeHt of the agricultural and mineral resources
of the State and also from the direct fees derived
from the supplying of operatives.
The basis of our stock being the lands of tho
Company, any Improvement OF them must enhance
the value Of the stock in the same rato and there
by be safe and profitable investment to the
stakeholder. lcA
The principal Office will be in Nashville. Ten
nessee, and the Company design to establish sub

ton hooks are in the hands of Arson Nelson,

A FUNNY SPEECH.-The Wisconsin Legis-
lature had formally considered proposition
to abolish all laws for the collection OF debts.
The mover of the bill, Mr.. Elmore, is great
wag, as is evinced by the following extract
from his speech on that subject:
The speaker proceeded to review the pres.
ent system of collecting debts. 1t was all
humbug and cheat a matter of technicalties
and legal shutting. Lawyers gave advice in
order to obtain fees and encourage litigation
Judges made blunders and mistakes He
had little experience in law, and that was
rich He would give history of it. The
speaker then related how he had purchased
a yoke of oxen about fifteen years ago-pad
fifty dollars for them-a few DAYS after, the
son of the man he bought the oxen of came
to him and said the oxen were his. He in
sisted on having pay over again, aud COM
menced suit before justice. The jury
didn't agree. Finally, through the Eastwood
Justice Of the Peace, the case went against
him. He appealed to the Circuit Court in
Milwaukee. There l lost again, and said to
my lawyer, 81 will give you ten dollars to
quote Pennsylvania law to Judge Miller, and
get new trial ordered" He took the ten
dollars and performed his duty. new trial
was then granted, and venue changed to
Walworth county. Judge Irwin was then
the judge. Any man who wanted to gain
cause in his court had either to 60 hunting
with him and let the judge claim all the
game that was shot, or else pat his dog. |
patted his dog. fed that dog. The case
was decided in my favor. When heard the
decision. l thought the dog had followed me
about long enough. l turned round and
gave him kick. The yelp of the deg had
hardly subsded ere | heard the judge say
" Mr.. Clerk, this Judgment is set aside, and
a new trial ordered" Mr.. Speaker that
kick cost me 5000. You have no doubt seen
a suit in Justices Court in the country p
There is spent by jurors and hangers on. lie
sides other costs, at least $50, besides the
i'll feelings and dissensions caused by it. 1t
is all cheat. The litigants had better sit
down and play a game of old sledge to decide
the case. 1t would be more sure to settle the
dispute justly.

HoRsEs.-Few persons are acquainted with
the mode Of judging horse by the teeth
As the lesson can be learned by rote in few
minutes, intending purchasers will do we'll
to commit to memory. At two years old the
horse sheds the two middle teeth of the
under jaw; at three years he sheds two
other teeth, one on each side Of those she'd
the year before-at four years old be sheds
the two remainder or corner teeth at FIVE
years old the two middle teeth are full.
elng no longer hollow as the others are,
and the teeth will have penetrated the guns :;
at six years old the four middle teeth are
full, the corner ones only remaining hollow
the tusks sharp; at seven years old the
corner teeth are full, the tusks larger and
thicker, and the Nurse is said to be aged
Occasionally, however. these marks will
slightly vary, good deal depending on the
animals constitution, whether be is late or
early foal also upon the manner in which
he has been reared, the kind of food, shell
ter, etc.
