The members OF this Association
met at theCourt House Monday night
last, for the purpose of paying the
first installment of monthly dues
and receiving stock certificates
Something over 500 were paid in.
After the dues were paid in, the
President offered for sale the money
on hand, in loans of two hundred
dollars, to the highest bidder. Sew
en- loans were taken, and as there
was not money enough to furnish the
requisite amount, the sum lacking
will be paid out of the first funds re-
ceived in the treasury. Eighty dol
lars premium was paid for loans,
which, as $500 constitute loan, left
S120 to the purchaser. The person
receiving the latter sum pays six per
cent. interest on $500.
The association is now fairly work
ing, and will be conducive of much
good to the laboring men and to the
town.

A Happy Couple.

A Happy Couple.
A writer of some note has said tha
"there are two kinds of connubial fe
licity-one that consists in loving
words and acts of natural, unaffsct tet
endearment, and another that at Ger
taintimes partakes of the first given
but is plentifully interspersed will
chickering's snd fretful quarreling
The latter is called by the vulgar
8 little family lovin's.' Both should
be INDUCED in only in private life."
We were witness, a faw days since,
to little scene that had but little G,
the appearance of affection. A new
ly married couple, accompanied by
q sister Of the husband, visited Find
lay to purchase the " setting out
with which to commence keeping
house. While selecting q set of
dishes. slight difference OF opinion
occurred in regard to the quality to
be purchased. The wife wanted q
neat servicable set, while the hus-
band preferred the cheapest to be
got. Pleasantly the spouse said.
"there is so little difference in the
price, and good ones look so much
better that they will be cheaper in
