streets were crowd.

SALE-DAY.-Thes streets were crowd
ed on Monday. The following sales were
made by the Sheriff: One small house
and LOT, one.fifth Of an acre, S905; one
small house, containing one eighth ofan
acre, 5000; and one good dwelling house,
with about onc-half acre, 1924. These
were the most important sales.
AS was said, large number of persons
were in town, many ofthcm being attracted
by the posters of Prot. ---, the horse
trainer, who promised free circus, the
performance to commence at half.past one
o'clock. At the hour specified, the canvass
tent was erected, and the people focked
in, without money and without price. The
Professor made his appearance some hour
later, in consequence Of "a small chat" as
he termed it, at the hotel. Whether this
delay was designed to create fever of ex-
pectation or not, can't be said anyhow,
his appearance was hailed with great enthu-
siaSm. The Professor and colored boy,
with a pair of new shoes in his hand, drew
into the ring double buggy ; the PROBES
sor then opened box, and took tncrefrom
set of bells, threw them into the buggy,
cracked his whip, sprang in after the bells,
took off handsome white felt hat, snoothed
his hair, stroked his luxuriant whiskers,
smiled, looked round to see if there were
any ladies present, and then proceeded to
deliver lecture, from the text know
thyself, and then the horse will know thee"
and then in a graceful and eloquent strain,
altogether peculiar to himself, and which
lasted very considerable time, discoursed
discursively.
For two hours, or less, the text was not
alluded to, that time being pleasantly oc-
cupied with short history of his eventiul
career, interSpersed with numerous anec-
dotes OF men and things, together with the
savings of a few old women in Kentucky.
In the most convincing manner, the Pro-
fcssor showed tt at there are a great many
humbugs, and that he was not the chief
This point was largely dwelt upon. Alto
gether, the lecture was we'll worth the
money, and for ourself, we would have
been equally as we'll satisfied with it, had
it been shorter. Then followed the per-
formance of a trained pony, but not before
the buggy was pushed ont; this was good,
that is the ponys exhibition, not the bug
gy, for the negro nearly run it over Mr..
Smiths toes, but Mr. Smith sprang back
and escaped. The Professor then proceed
ed to form a class, about which time we left,
not being able to remain any longer. We
regretted this very much. We understand
a large class was formed, and that those
who received tile lessons on borseology, arc
perfectly satisfied We are.

A ToUGH FRITTER.--We indulge our
readers with little piece Of fun which hap
pened at the wedding breakfast of our dear
friend on Thursday morning last.
That the wedding must have been a happy
one there is no doubt, or that it was enjoyed
to the full In truth the party kept up the
frolic nearly all night. and only succumbed
at last when murphy" closed some Of their
eyes. Folks do not marry every day, and
the couple now in bonds had never tried
it before. The delighted groom particularly
ran over in glee, and out of his fertile i'm
agination there came bright idea: lie re-
mcmbcrcd that the morning would be the
first of April, and therefore good time for
joke. Happy groom, happy couple, plan
was concocted and dish of cotton fritterS
was the result. Breakfast ready, all hands
except the cook, of course, sat down. A
large dish of crispy fri.tcrs stood at the
head of the table. How nice they looked,
thev we're so brown. Well they wcre handed
round, but whether from want OF appetite,
loss of sleep or the smelling Of mice, or
something else, although each one helped
him or herself to a portion, no one but --
(well we won't mention his name) tried
their quality. Our FREUD tried to cut up his
fritter, but in vain. he then worked IN his
fork and succeeded in extracting from the
crispy brown covering part of the 'goodie'
as he innocently imagined. tits not strange
that after so great difficulty in getting INTO
the fritter, but little time was lost IN putting
the extricated part into his mouth. Then
followed the operation of mastication. That
was found TO be more difficult even than cut
ting with his knife. Patience however, it
must be good. he was young, in fine health,
| good teeth, and with all day before him, and
he chewed on, and might have chewed till
| now, but that he soon made the melancholy
discovery that it was growing larger every
moment; something must be done and soon.
He was too polite to empty his mouth before
the ladies, and already the unusual size OF
| his cheeks and his distended eyes were ats
tracing attention. Well, and what do you
suppose he did with it? He swallowed it at
a eulp, like the man who swallowed the boy
with a basket of sausageS, only he did not
care for any more. When the joke leaked
out. there was no little glee at his expense,
and it is said that Bro. Lost several
buttons on the occasion.

UNFORTUNATE OccURRENcE.-We regret
to learn that on Sunday of last week,
while the family were all in ATTENDANCE
at church, the residence of DR.. l.. A. Hill,
near Antioch, in this County, together
with the entire contents, was destroyed
by fire. The origin of the fire is un'
known.-Yorkville Enquirer.

learns that the residence of Mrs. Harriet
Lundy, who resides about seven miles
from that village, was consumed by fire
on Monday night last, and terrible to re-
late, the old lady was burnt to death.
1t is said that Adjutant and Inspector
General F. j. Moses, Jr., has gone to
New Haven, Connecticut, for the pur-
pose of purchasing two thousand Spring
field rifles, for the militia.

The New York Express thinks that
ninetenths of our people eat too much
flesh. 1t is a positive injury instead OF
benefit, when eaten twice day, even
to the hard physical worker. This com.
munity could live on at least one hall
the flesh it dcvours, and be all the bet
ter for the change. We are not sure
that if we ate one third only of what is
now consumed in the form of steaks,
outlets, &c., we would not be the gamers
in health and strength, as we certainly
would in pocket.

HAD ITO PAss."-Somc time during the
night, between the hours Of go to bed time
of Wednesday, and the customary rising
time Of Thursday, the silence which pre-
vailed in and around the suburban retreat of
ye local was broken, not rudely and alto
gether, but softly and by degrees by va>
riety of sounds, each Of which ran into the
other, until the whole produced a conglom-
crate bewilderment. What can the matter
be was thought, what is it and where did it
come from? Did those sounds come from
the spheres? oh no! for scarce would vis>
;tor from the far off stand out in the flower
garden at that hour of The night. Did they
come from below? hardly, and for the one
good reason, that our acquaintance in those
parts is but limited. Then whence did they
proceed? We remembered then of the inter.
mediate space, and atonce it flashed upon
us that it must be 4 sorr.. nading party-as
the little ones say-who had come to do US
honor. Our hcirt gnShed out at once, and
melted under the influence of so great com.
bination of honor and rapturing sounds.
Oh ye sweet scented youths thought we,
how pleasant to draw oar mantle or rather
blanket around us and driak in your soft
and delcons music: Bat there are two
sides to every picture. Contrary to usual
custom we did not arise, for with sorrow we
remembered that there was nothing in the
house TO draw upon and keep up the kindly
feelings. A box Of Sciilz powders was the
nearest approach to any thing of the pecu>
liar kind needed, but we feared tomNke the
offer. The time was unsu!:cd What fix
to be caught in. The Cff.ct Of the music was
lost. In tic trouble Of that moment VIC
fancicd the party were becoming Indignant,
for the playing was wild; the operator on The
horn, vcxcI that the only horn available
was the one in his hand, blew in spasms-
blew with an "iunorminate" voicc-and his
notes now loud and fust, then in jerks and
walls, seemed 10 say mary drop nary drop.
while the fiddle only answered to the bow
in melancholy sounds, and the flute became
choked from great emotion. How long the
agony lasted we know not, it seemed an age
We tclt certain that the fat would be reals
izcl sometime, that the local intended "to
pass" and sure enough it did. The cud
came. The music diel out on the sill night
air in waii OF bitter lament, and our friends
left in sadness. we acknowledge the corn
and are sorry, if they come again we will be
prepared to give them 4 gush.

LOCAL ITEMS.

TIE WEATnEr.-The fine spring-like
weather Of the past few weeks was most
rudcly broken on Saturday last, when it
began to turn cold. Sunday was quite
cold and windy, and altogether just such
day as one cares not to experience
after such delightful spell as that of
the weeks previous On Monday morn
ing there was very heavy frost, which
did no little damage. Some fear that the
little fruit which escaped frost before
Easter is now killed, but We incline to 4
different opinion, owing to the extreme
dryness. The crop will be lamentably
short however. Garden vegetation in
low ard exposed situations suffered to
some extent, while in other places little
or no damage was done.
Tn regard to Mondays frost the local
feels agg'ievcd that the town oracle-in
weather affairs-led him astray, or rather
that by his miscaculation he was caught
mapping. Friend Solomon, the oracle,
in the most positive terms said there
would be frost on the tenth, but not on
the fifth as happened. lie "hadn't
orghter said so," and in practice Of his
own familiar teaching should have been
"more particular" Gracious goodness
old fellcr, just consider the mischief you
may do, and for the sake of the broken
constitution and violated laws, be "more
particular" in future. AS to the predict
ed frost of the tenth, it may be we'll to
look out for it.
