Waters gave the wink and they cOnclu-
died to settle the matter in halfway.

the walters ewes. Waters took the receipt
which lay ON the table, and put it in his
pocket. Then going to the door, he soft

And Waters softly closed the door. and
with the others proceeded down stairs. -
lust as they reached tile bottom, they met
the landlord.
''IIave YOU got your bill, gentlcmen:" he
asked.
"Yes. sir said Waters, showing him
the receipts:
.'All right gentlemen; the next time YOU
are around give It's call"
we shall do So sir. said Waters.
The next moment they were in the car
rage and soon ont ofsight
\ few minutes after they had gone. the
landlord had occasion To 20 up stairs. and
was surprised To hear tremendous noise
coming from the room lately occupied by
the sailors
Opening the door he was struck dumb
with establishment. There lay the table on
one side. TIE chairs turned upside down
glasses broken. and bottles rolling around
the floor: while the waiter. with bandaged
eyes and outstretched arms, was lodging
this way and that, endcavoring to catch
some one.
''Wha-wha-
The old gentleman was unable To speak
from aStOnishment

made dive at the landlord. sclasping him
in his arms with hug that would have

tinucd, as the landlord struggled to get
away. Now, old fellow, you've got to

half angrily.
As soon as he could recover himself.
the waiter explained the scene between the
sailors and the proposal to bindfold him.
Not hearing any one 20 out. he supposed
the four to be in the room with him; and
was doing his best to catch one OF them.
Pcrceiving that the joke was entirely at

This weekly literary paper, the publication Of
which was suspended by the fall of Richmond,
will again make It's appearance ca the End Of
June. We sincerely hope it May neet with
encouraging success. It is high time that We
were patronizng Southern talent, instead Of
submitting to the yoke Of the Northern sensa-
tienists. There is scarcely q literary weekly OF
real merit in the North, While all Of them in
du!ge in a great aIaeslllt Of ludicrous abuse Of
the people they seem to be anxious to force
back into their companionship. Il the pro

gave four entertainments in this place, the pro

The removal Of Mr. Harris will be a great
loss to this community and however his services
NAV have been estimated heretofore, they will
be more fully appreciated after he shall have
left us. As an instructor Of young ladies, and
as hgh-toncd christian gentleman and scholar,
he has but few superiors; and as the manager
and master-spirit, ola school Of comprehensive
grade, he has fully established the reputation
which preceded him here. He took charge Of
Martha Washington at its opening the year be-
fore the war, and Whenthe enterprise was an
uncertain and rather .unpromisng experiment

For the Snectator.

Mr.. EDTToR Sir In looking over a list
Of names, appended to a certain secret petition,
praying the Congress Of the United States to
send Federal troops to Staunten, for the pro-
lection OF the Union men of this county, | saw
name in the list, that ILthnk was intended
for mine; though the name referred to was
spelled Martin Bahory. [ feel certain it was
intended for mine, from the association Of the
names ofseveral other men in my neighborhood,
viz: those of VIM. Armstrong, and G. r.
Smith
I wish to say Just here, that if the name re-
ferred to, is intended for mine, it is forgery
for never signed that petition, nor authorized
that the petition was presented to me for my
signature, but refused to subscribe to it.
