CORRESPONDENCE.
GFor the Evansville Tor,


Editors Journal:
Our Circuit Court is still in session,
but will probably close up the bust
Hess OF the term tomorrow. There
has been an unusually large amount
OF business transacted during the
present term, most Of which, how
ever, has been of local character
Among the exceptions, I will men
aen the case of the State vs.. George
Irwin, which as an instance of spe edy
retribution, is worthy of note. He
burglarously entered the store of. Nc
Kinney & Richardson of this place.
ON the night of Tuesday the 5th inst.
and on Thursday the 7th, was arrest
ed two miles below Henderson:
reached Rockport Friday morning be-
fore daylight, broke from his cap
tors, lodged his pursuers until 10
o'clock, when he was re-captured,
having taken refuge under a
bed IN log cabin about three miles
from town. The Grand Jury found
q true bill the same day. He was ar
Engned on Saturday, and plead Not
Guilty, remanded to jail to await his
trial Monday; brought into court
Monday morning, withdrew his plea
and plead Guilty, whereupon he
was sentenced to pay a fine of five
hnDdred dollars, Eve years imprison-
ment in the State Prison, and dis.
Eanchisement for the same period
a9d at five o'clock in the evening was
ID passenger on the Morning Star in
care of Col. J. s. Wright and Lieut.
VIM. Mason, who were directed to
deliver him in good order, &C., to the
Warden of the State Prison at JEFF. I
fersonville.
There was one other State case of
some general interest, from the fact
that the person who lost the goods
st0ien' who was also the principle
witness for the prosecution
was negro, tried by a jury,
finding of guilty of petit larceny.
and'a punishment of one dollar fine,
shirteen days Imprisonment in the
county Jail, and one years disfran-
shisement, which was thought to be
drawing it very mild, considering the
positive character of the evidence
against the said defendant. The
Thisky sellers of Rockport have suf-
'ered to an extent unheard of in this
community before. There was over
'ne hundred indictments against them
presented by the Grand Jury at the
present term, mainly for selling
LIQUORS to minors. A very consid-
'rable addition to the school fund
nay be regarded as one of the prob
'ble results of the above action. Much
q the credit for the above is due tn
ne energy and perseverance of our Y
interchangeable Circuit Court Prosecut-
ng Attorney, Capt. Hargrave, ablv t
Ind earnestly aided by the Grand
ury' which was selected from the {
'est men in the county, and the
of Rockport will not v
DON forget the result of their labors. |;
There is an earnest effort now be- !
ng made by the congregation .af tho
Methodist Church here. 10 ra;se

SONG OF THE oLDEN TIME.
BY NELLIE OF NEW ORLEANS.

Let me sing song of the olden time,
Let me dream dream of the past,
While the stars CLEAN bright in their golden light
And the night shades are gathering fast.
l would wrcathe chaplet of cypress leaves,
And gem it with cypress flowers,
And crown the grave where the wild flowers wavo,
Ger the friend of my happier hours.
am sad tonight, though the stars are bright,
And my cheeks have lost their hue;
For memory brings on her raven wings
Sad dreams of my fallen true,
Sad echoes are floating upon the air,
The wind is sobbing aloud,
And the daisy and violet blooming sweet,
Arc my brave soldiers only shroud.
But IN sing song Of the olden time,
III dream dream ofthe past;
while the stars are bright in their golden light,
And my tears are falling fast.

AN EXTRAORDINARY
HISTORY.
THE STORY OF LOUISA BLAcKMAN.

On Sunday there arrived in our city
from Indianapolis. person possessing a
history so remarkable, in its way, that
but few individuals in auy region at any
time hive furnished the parallel to it.
Indeed, we doubt if any record is known
of experiences similar in their cause,
progress and results, to the experiences
Of the person of whom we speak. She ia
young girl, not yet seventeen, rather
delicate than robust in physique, possess
ed high degree of intelligence; having
manners at once modest and winning,
and, before the terrible ordeal through
which, far from unscathed, she has come,
was gifted with more beauty of form and
feature than usually fall to the lot Of wo-
mankind. even at seventeen.
Yet this beautiful girl has gone through
terrible and sharp experience. the mere
contamination of which would mako the
brayest and hardest pioneer tremble. an.
palled. and which might safely be prom.
ised to kill the toughest hunter in the
Rocky Mountains or the A African iupoles.

but could 90 no farther. She was too
far away from the house to make herself
heard, and crowded herself up as closely
as possible to the haystack, where she
lay in agony until night. At night the
sheep gathered close about her and kept
her little warm, but during that night
she became insensible with the cold, and
as was assertained after she was found,
she Jay for twenty-three days beside the
haystackl She was insensible during the
entire time, and probably would have fro
zen to death but for the sheep partially
protecting her at night. Her desert eI-
perience had prepared her to do without
food, and this, together with her insensi-
bility, saved her from starvation.
One morning little boy hunting rab-
bits discovord the iuscnsible girl and gave
the alarm. When found she was lying
on her left side, her dress, her arm, her
hair and the right side of her face being
frozen te the ground. She was carried
to Mr.. Davidson's house and such resto-
ratives as possible applied. Her right
foot was so badly frozen that is dropped
off at the ankle. An examination Of her
other foot showed the necessity Of ampu.
tation and both legs were taken off about
four inches below the knee. After four
or five weeks of insensibility she com.
menced to recover, and although she
was horribly frozen in various parts Of
her body, she recovered with the loss Of
her feet and her left eye.
Since her recovery she has been
kindly cared for by the authorities
and citizens of Mount jackson. Last
week she went to Indianapolis, partly to
see if artificial limbs could be fitted tc
hers, and partly to obtain employment
She failed in both objects, and on Satur.
day was taken by Mr.. Fortune to the Ea
gle Hotel, where she still remains.
We have given her story as she CAV,
it to us. 1t is almost incredible, but sht
tells it with truthful,air that almost com
pcls belief. Perhaps her great suffer
ings have confused the events in heI
mind, so as to distort them and MAKE
them seem to her different from whs
they were, but she evidently believes hel
story.

How TO BE UNHAPPY.-In the first
place, if you want to be miserable, be
selfish. Think all time of yourself and
your own things Do not care about
anybody else having feelings for any one
but yourself. Never think of enjoying
the satisfaction of seeing others happy
but rather, if you see a smiling face, be
jealous, lest another should enjoy what
you have not. Envy every one who is
better off, in any respect, than yourself; /;
think unkindly towards them and speak
i'll of them. Be constantly afraid lest
some one should encrosch upon your
rights; be watchful against it, and if
anyone comes near your things, snap at
him like mad dog Contend earnestly
for everything that is your own, though
it may not be worth dime; for your
"rights" are just as much concerned as if
it were pound of gold. Never yield a
point. Be very sensitive, and take every
thing that is said to you in playfulncss
in the most serious manner. Be Jealous
of your friends, lest they should not think
enough of you. And fiat any time they
should seem to neglect you, put the worst
construction upon their conduct you can.

R0~It is said that Gen Lee has receiv.
ed 800 applications for admission to
Washington College (Lexington, Va.,)
of which he is President. None are re-
jected on account of not being able to pay
the college fees. Gen. Lee is willing to
accept their notes, believing that young
men who receive their education under
such circumstances will not fail to re-
spond to their obligations whenever they
are able.
