DON'T MARRY A MAN If HE
DRINKS.

Young Ladies', pray listen to me,
And keep just as quiet as mice,
While sing you song, 1t is not very long.
Which contains piece of advice:
No matter what people may say;--
No matter what somebody thinks;--
If yon wish to be happy the rest of your
days,
Don't marry a man if he drinks;
DON'T marry man If he drinks;
he may be so handsome and CAV,
And have such a beautiful voico:
And may dance so divinely, you'll feel ir
your heart
That he must be the man of your choice.
II his accents are tender and low,
And sweeter than roses and pinks,
And his breath quite a different thing, you
may know,
Your exquisite gentleman drinks,
Your exquisite gentleman drinks.
Just think of rhe sorrows and cares,
The heart rendering sighs and fears;
vi the words and the blows, and the cruel
est woes,
And then think of the Ocean of tears.
Think of TooDLEs, the drunkest of men,
His attitudes, hic-coughs and winks--
And then think what dignified pair you
will make
II you marry man that drinks.
If you marry man that drinks.
Young ladies look well to your hearts,
Don't throw them away on a sot;
Or man who is given to treating his friends
Water be his station or lot.
Though his pride may uphold him awhile,
Yet sooner or later he sinks;-
Then you would be happy the rest of
your days.
Don't marry man if he drinks.
d Don't marry a man if he drinks.

A Most Lamentable Suicide.

A most painful tragedy was enacted on wed
nesday night, 10th inst, on OREGON hiii' ~
Mrs. Susan Green. Mrs. G., had s'me two
weeks previously given birth to twins, and
while confined to her bed by illness labored ui,-
der the hallucination that her babes were in the
well. Between twelve and oneo'clock on We'd
nesday, while her husband, who was sitting BY
her bed and holding her hand, was asleep, she
stole from her chamber, and proceeding TO the
backyard, plunged beadlongintothew well, ads
lance of sixty feet She was almost immediate
" missed, and search made for her in the neigh
borhood and along the Basin bank, but her
body was not discovered for some hours, when
life was, of course, extinct-the probability
being that she was almost instantly killed by
the fall.
DIR. Fairfax, who was the family physician
of Mr.. James Green, the husband Of the de-
ceased informs US that Mrs. Green was much
deranged in mind during her illness, and fear
ing that some accident might occur. he had
warned the family against leaving her alone,
advice which they scrapulously and faithfully
observed.
Mrs. Green was highly respected by all who
knew her, and leaves husband and eight
children to mourn her lamentable fate.

sequences IL inflicted upon all sections Of the
country. And yet he is admitted 10 bail in a
nominal sum, which his suretles will not grum-
be to pay In case he is in Europe when he is
wanted next November. Wherein was John
Brown more Of a criminal than Jefferson Da-
Wis and why should the one be hanged and
the other set at hberty?"
The above is a specimen Of the fairness and
trutniulness Of the Chronicle. John Brown
was not tried or executed for treason but for

Arbitration.

We are gratifed to learn that at a meeting
Of number Of the members Of the bar, Of this
County. recently held at this place the subject
Of arbitration was considered, and that 1t was
agreed 10 recommend that mode as the best for
settling questions Of honest difference between
our citizens. And for the purpose of facilita-
ting the plan they suggested, Thomas c. Green
ESQ. known to the people Of Jefferson for
many wears as an able practitioner Of the law,
was chosen arbitrator; aud we learn that the
first Tuesday after the third Monday Of each
month. beginning in May, was designated as
the time when it would be most convenient to
to dispose Of such cases as may be thus sub
mitted for settlement.
Where, on account Of facts peculiar to any
particular occupation-and which would there
fore. be most familiar to those who pursue it
or for anv other reason, it would be desirable
70 associate two others with the gentleman al
ready designated, sothata boarSof three would
be constituted. such a course would be entirely
agreeable 10 the arbitrator already appointed.
Since the law Of the State not only permits but
approves this manner Of adjusting difficulties
and grants its processes for the execution Of
awards, the scheme proposed is entirely legal.
And when the difficulties, delays, expense and
inconvenience attending the trial Of causes in
the courts, as they are at present constituted,
are considered. We do not think that there can
be any hesitation in accepting the plan now
proposed.
We hope this matter viii be taken into Sc
rious consideration at once, and that there will
be manifested at least disposition to give it a
fair trial We have no doubt should this be
done that much Of the business, now known
to be in arrears, can beezpeditiously and mex
pensively transacted.

Farmers Home Journal.

This is the title Of new weekly paper, in
quarto form of SPACES, published at Lexington,
kentucky, by James ]. Miller, our former
towusman, and James R. Mars. 1t is devoted
to Agriculture, Mechanic Arts, Education, Sci
ence, and Pure Literature. 1t is handsome
specimen Of Typography, on fine paper, and
contains great variety Of matter, not only in
teresting to the farmer, but to the general rea-
der
Mr.. Miller is a gentleman of indomitable in
duStry and enterprise, and has no doubt selec-
ted partner of like qualities. AS stated, by
the Editors, Kentucky is a State of vast re-
sources yet undeveloped, and the editors of the
Home Journal seem to have entered upon the
proper field in their efforts 70 stir up the dor
mant energies Of the great agricultural commu-
nifty in which they reside. They have selected
from the words of Washington motto at once
pltby and appropriate, Agriculture is the
most healthful, most useful. and most noble
employment of man, and it may be added that
a judicious farmer can always find time to cul.
tivate the fields of literature and science.

Stirring UP Strife.


The National hfelligsRcer well exposes the
designs Of the Radicals in sending incendiary
sneakers. such as Judge Kelly, to the South,
10 stir up angry feelings amongst the worst Of
If the southern population, and thus afford a
pretext for confscation. 1t says truly that
there is an evident desire to create Southern
riot of such proportions as will afford nexcuse
for the re-assembling Of Congress in July, the
impeachment Of the President, and the passage
Of law for the coniScation Of Southern pro-
perty. They are utterly indifferent as to the
result upon the country. Some of them have
made money out Of the war; some of them
have seen others realize fortunes from the pub
lie disturbances, and are anxious to Pro'ong
them With the hope of profit to themselves.
W;,son was too tame and conciliatory. He
did not stir up strife. Hence the mission Of
Kelly one of the most foul-mouthed babblers
in the land He began by taunts, insults, and
at Mobile produced the effect desired. He said
he was backed by the 18th regiment of United
States soldiers, and could have the whole army
at his hack, and some silly fellows responded
in a way exactly to suit him. Although as
sured Of the protection by the Mayor Of Mobile
he went oil in huff. lie had accomplished
lust what heipteuded, and he will come back
to Washington with budget of complaints
not only against the whole people of the South
but against the President.
The htelignesr gives the following whole
some advice:
This is unquestiouably the programme
We hope the people Of the South wilfremem-
/ Der il and be guarded against allowing any hot
headed defender Of their cause precipitating tho
result so much desired, not by the people, but
/ by the political spectators in the North. Let
/ them tolerate free speech to the.utmost extent
/ Let them treat with courtesy and kindness tht
/ Radical emmisSarieS who come among them
/ Let them with calmness and dignity meet ar
/ gument with argument and statement with

to him, nor TO perceive that these imported dis
ciples Of equal rights are working only for par

METHODIST RELics.-A Southern exchange
says: During the late meeting Of the Meth
odist Episcopal College Of Bishops, the family
of Bishop Soule presented the senior bishop
with the following articles: Tie official seal
of Bishop Asbury; a cornelian, set in small
gilt frame, with medallion head of Wesley.
The official seal of Bishop McKendree; this is
larger than commemorative, with the in
itials w. Mex motto, Preach the word =
The first official seal Of Bishop SouIe; this is a
small oval-shaped metallic device; dove with
olive branch in its mouth, and standing on a
globe; motto, Peace on earth These inter
esting relics were, by the will Of Bishop Soule
left to his senior successor, to be by him trans
mitted in like manner. They are, therefore
in the hands Of Bishop Andrew. For centu
ries past it has been customary for prelates o.
the Roman Catholic Church to wear hierarchi'
cal rings in attestation Of their rank, but th'
fact that Methodist bishops wear them is moi
generally known to the members Of that de-
nomination"

Booths Diary.


Il will be recollected that in the controversy
on the floor Of the House of Representatives,
between Gen Butler and Mr. Bingham, the
latter was charged with having suppressed the
Diary Of J. Wilkes Booth, in the trial Of Mrs.
Surratt, and thereby aiding in the hanging Of
Mrs. Surratt. Indeed Butler spoke Of this
hanging as a Judicial murder.
Great interest was very naturally excited
with the public to see the Diary The Presi-
dent, therefore (who had never seen it, called
upon the Secretary Of War to produce it, and
this has been done. The Secretary and Judge
Holt certify to the correctnessof the copy. taken
from the original as found on the body Of
Booth
TheSecretary, in submitting the paper states
that the memorandum book was first seen by
him on ths 10Th day Of April, 1865, shortly
after Booths capture, and few hours before
his remains reached Washington. II was then
delivered to Gen. Eckert, his assistant, to b,
delivered to Judge Advocate General Holt

sign Of Booth and his coadiutors.
