IMPORTANT TO THE SHOE TRApE.-The case

before Judge MOSES, in which 5000 WAS
awarded JNo. @. WILSON, OF Sumter, In nm action
brought by him against Messrs. D. r. FLKMIsa &
Co., OF this city, WAS briefly mentioned in onr
issue OF yesterday. Tho shoe trade in this city
has genorally been conducted by mon OF known
probity md experience, and mono rank higher than
tho dofcntants in this case. II would be useless
to state that all sfoos aro constructed Of leather,
and those In question had probably stifroning or
filling in tho solo formed OF wood. Tho prico
asked for tho shoes is proof that this fact was
known, and any poraon who has over purchased
Shoes Is aware that tho cheaper qualities aro not

From tho testimony elcited on tho stand, It ap-
pearod that the Wholesale shoe dealers OF this city

EDIroR Butte REcoED:-H Having seen coramuni-
cations in your paper from most of the towns in
Butte county, send You few lines from here.
The town is not large. II lies in a tranquil gorge
cn the south side OF Feather river in Butte county,
and is place of some note. The people are hap
py and contented. Industry is their motto. 1t is
no place for lazy man. Neither is it profitable
place for a gambler. and spaTring school would
not pay. neither would I recommend the place TO a
first class lawyer. As for drunkenness it is seldom
or never seen. and lighting is not known. Stealing
is not thought of. Pistols there is and bowie
knives are gone. The town boasts an elegant
school house and fine school, fine hall wherein
is held preaching. Sunday School, concerts and,
sometimes trip Of the light fantastic toe. 1t has
likewise a Masonic Hail. and fine hotel, where
the jolly bonniface never fails to please his guests;
Good Templars Hall of which association good
msny'if our citizens are members. Likewise a
large and airy billiard saloon, where gentlemen
meet and discourse the news Of the day. 1t has
also fall and efficient brass brand One thing
must mention in particular. and that is the great
number of fruit trees. and the immense quantity of
fruit grown in this vicinity of different kinds and
favor, which is not surpassed by any in the State.

The Desolate Land.

There's desolate land in tie region Of space,
Where the foot Of the spoiler hath trod;
'Iis exempted alike from mercy and grace.
And unblest by the smiles Of God:
Its mountains and vaIlies gloomy and,stu,
All charrd by the sca--cutting fame
The songs of its. birds have soul cheering thrill,
And its rivers lie stagnant and tame.
No music is heard in the temple or grove.
But there's signing and groaaing with pain;
No heart in that land feels the glory Of love,
And frienship no.favor can gain
The people who live there are sullen with gloom.
Each one has wearisome lead
OF s;n on his heart, us the fat of doom,
Under which he's eternany bowed
The murderer dweIls in that desolate land.
With his hanJs red and reeking with gore,
And his heart all scared with foul burning brand.
While he writhes in remorse ever1nore.
The hypocrite, liar and robber are there,
conclave of hideous mein,
Whose faces are wreathed in the shroud of despair
and the serpent brcods over the scene.
lis SD oh, so sad seems that desolate shore.
Begirt by the gulf of despair;
The groans of the sinful are heard everTnore.
While demons eternally stare.
o, friends do not go to that desolate land
But seek for another moro bright,
Where the good and the just and the innocent stand
In rainent of glorious light
To that far better land there's beautiful road,
And Christ is the truth and the way;
Then travel ye in Him TO peace and to God
And dwell in celestial day.
