Too BAD.-We learn that within the
past few days a number of cows owned
by residents of East Wheeling have
been shamefully abused and crippled by
roughs who should be severely punish
ed. Only a day or two since in the
of the Hemp6eld tunnel,
a valuable COW was 81 badly abused
that she died frsm her injuries.

Boy SPECULAToRs.-The boys have de
veloped a new branch ofindustry. When
Saturday comes, or when they can steal
awhile away from school in the course
of the week, they haste to the pawpaw
patch, and gather up "dead" loads Of
these vegetable denominations, as we
deem them. After getting together as
many as they can carry, they bring the
latter to the market places of our popu
lous city and peddle them at about two
cents apiece for fair to prime, and sc
turn many an honest penny-the mar
ket master and revenue officers permit
ting. But if it should prove necessary
for them to take out Government Ii,
cense, much we fear that some of these
Youthful merchants would collapse at
once.

Police CouRT.-There was but one
artist before Judge Good yesterday.
Thomas Scott is his cognomeu. He is
in no way related to Sir Walter Scott,
SCOTS wbs ha', or General Scott. Not
any. Tom stands-when he isn't lushy-
on his native heath and claims relation
ship only with Psnob-Scot. Thomas
was out for q holiday, Thursday, and
having put in o full load of fnsil oil,
determined TO make hight of it, as
we'll. There is no doubt but that he in
tended to 90 to his couch, where little
angels should fan him with their wings
until his soul should revel in blissful
dreams. But Thomas mistook his stow
age capacity and loaded on more than
be could get away with. He got as far
as Quincy street, near Fourth, about IL
o'clock Thursday night, and there fell
lengthways in the gutter. Instead OF
angels, there ministered unto him,
Devils large, and devils small,
Devils short, and devils ia |,
Devils thick and devils thin,
And devils with blue and watery skin.
So he had devilish bad time of it,
causing him to groan and gnash his
teeth like one in fit. He was care
fully gathered up and deposited in the
calaboose. Yesterday he was fined 81
and costs. Being without the faintest
suspicion of filthy lucre, he devotes his
mighty energies to the study of geology
under the tuition of Prof. Price, for the
| ten days next ensuing.

DON'T BELIEVE IT.-A wonderful
story is going the rounds of the press
to the effect that a woman at Preemp.
ton, Illinois, has presented her husband
with six children at birth. We don't
object to this. The soil of Illinois is
rich and the State is productive one.
Here's what sticks us, "the husband is
perfectly delighted" That's what we
don't believe. Just think of that poor
devil of father jumping out of bed
some cold night the coming winter
humping his toes against the chairs, his
nose against the doors, or tumbline
over a careless rocking chair to hunt

HOW WE PREVENT 1T.

The want of uniformity in Boots and Shoes, it
is well known, equals if not exceeds that OF any
other kind of manufactured goods. In order 20
protect ourselves and customers, We make IL q
rule not to receive or place on sale any goods
not regular and uniform, except they be too
low in price to allow of uniformity. To insure
this every pair Of Boots and Shoes that enters
our store is carefully examined and rejected an.

NEW FaCaORY-

From the Jackson Tribune of Satur-
dsy we learn something of the extensive
Shoe Factory opened last Monday in
Corinth by MCKENZIE, QUILL & Co.
Tine machinery is new and embraces
all the improvements in shoe manuisc-
turing and skiliful w0rkmen have been
brought from the factories a. Lynn,
P~hiledelphis and Cincinnati. Shoes
will be manufactured ST the rate Of one
hundred pairs 3 day, and we trust that
merchants in Memphis aud West Ten
nessee, Mississippi, Alsbams and Arkaa-
sas will see that they find q ready mar
ket. Let this and all similar enterprises
be encouraged and sustained, for they
are the agencies that must arrest the flow
of our money northward. We cannot
afford longer to send of the money that
should be running productive machinery
in OH midst." Why cannot Memphis
initiate the example Of the little town Of
Corinth, and add to her manufactures a
shoe factory, a broom and g furniture
factory?

NASHVILLE, April 26.-The Odd Eel
lows semi centennial celebration took
place in this city to-day. The brother
hood was out in full strength, their num-
bers augmented by delegates from forty
Lodges from Middle Tennessee and
Southern Kentucky. The procession
was the largest and most imposing dem
onstration Of the Order ever witnessed
here. Masonic Temple, the place select
ed for the meeting, was crowded at an
early hour in the afternoon, and when
the procession entered the hall there
was scarcely standing room left for any
one. The Grafton was pronounced by
Rev. A. J. Baird, and was exceedingly
able and eloquent. He paid the Order
the high compliment Of saying that il its
principles were faithfully observed and
practised he would not hesitate to accept
any member as worthy q place in his
church. Tonight q splendid banquet is
in progress at Masonic Temple, and the
Odd Fellows, their wives and children,
are there in immense numbers. II
ecIipses any former efforts Of the Order.

We are happy to notice that the press
Of Mississippi generally are urging upon
the people Of That State tie adoption Of
the Constitution presented by the last
Convention, minus tae Objectionable
clauses. This, IL we msy be permitted

On Thursday last the people of Selma,

PEST and his able Board OF Directors of
the Memphis and Selma Railroad, voted
that corporation, by s handsome and

$1,000 the third part Of what is necss-
sary to complete The road to q point
twenty miles from their city. The work
is already under way and a sufficient
force employed to insure its completion
within the time prescribed by law to
enable the company to avail itself Of the
aid provided for By the State Of Alabama,
amounting to an endorsement Of $780,
