The eccentric NAsRY gives the fol
lowing account of an attempted inno-
walton upon the quiet neighborhood of
the x Roads, witch sin the Stait of
Kentucky"
To return. Bascom bed to hey ready
money, and he come down crooel on
Deekin Pogram, his heftiest debtor.
The Decken wuz helpless, and there
wuz every appearance Nv II dead lock ut
the Corners. At this junc,ure in steps
Pollock, with an offer to buy II certain
pecce Nv land the Deekin he'd, ppryided
BNscom would release his mortgage on
it. Bascom gladly acceded, aud the
transacshen wuz consummated.
The ground sold by the Deekin he'd
no valyoo. The soil wuz worthlis, for
it he'd bin planted to tobacker for a
skore Nv years, and besides this, a
creek run throo it, with a fall Nv per-
haps thirty feet, the water tumblin over
tho rocks p~erpetyooally, in o most
ridiculous manner. The Dsekin sold 1t
cheep, for water wuz never popler ut
the Corners. Wat Pollock wanted Nv
il we coodeut understand, but the
mystery wuz cleered up the next day. y
Bascom, the Deekin and ! wuz out
lookin at a peece Nv land adjoinin, wen
we saw a parcel Nv fellers there with
suryeyin instruments, u measurin of
The ground und stickin little stakes all
overit. e'." tvHi a.
"wat are 700 doin here? Z" said the
Deekin.
"Fixin the site Nv a factry," remarkt
the boss Nv the corps, without takin his
eye off the Instrument lsl 20 III
Wat7" shreekt the Deekiu.
Fixin the site IVA fsctry-a cotton
factry."
"Wher you from ?" askt the Deekin,
in agony.
"From Massachusetts," replied the
black coated feend, ez coolly ez though
he wuz In Boston.
tsFrom Massachusetts, |" shreekt the
Dsekin, falliu in a faintin fit.
Bascom and me wuz more decided.
Our line of ackshen wuz decided upon
in q mint.
"Sir," said we, "this cannot be
permitted. Ono spot in Kentucky shell
alluz remain sacred from the contnmin-
asheu NV Massachusetts,. We will bcv
no factrys here ; we will hev no hordes
NV fanatics in this spot, n maxim cotton
cloth and bringin here lyceums, com
mon skools, debatin societies an preach
in. We will hev here none of that. We
don't want to see this Arcajeu spot
turned into u place Nv residence for fac
try girls. In short, We wont hev IT,"
The fellow made no answer, but went
on stickin stakes into the ground.
r"Will 700 desist?" asktI
"Not any" returned he.
"Bascom," sod !, arouse the citi-
zeus. It's now nine o'clock. By this
time they are all at the grosery. Haste,
Bascom, hastel The danger is immi-
nent, and our ackshon must be uiger-
ous."
Bascom startid, and in less than twen-
ty minits Their wuz II hundred Nv our
people on the ground. The surveyor
wuz o]verpowered, the stakes were torn
up, and the party given just an hour TO
git out NV the vicinity, with the ashoor-
ence hat ii they showed their faces
Their again they wood be i%nterduOst TO n
coat of tar and feathers, eff we he'd to
sacrifice every goose on the Corners.
This summary proceedin endid the
matter. That mite these vandals left
the Corners, and we saw EN- no more.
When I think over what we hey es-
capped, | feel thankful. Good hcyins !
To think Of an invashen Of Moo Eng
laudersI To think Nv ther bein in
these peeceful precincts four or FIVE
hundred girls, nil from Moo England
