Kuhn and Turpin,

MesSrs. KUHN & TURIN are mcclan-
les, having practical knowledge of all
the work done in their extensive carriage
establishment. But they have proved
Themselves TO be above the average of
mechanics, by the successful manage
ment of their business Another evil
dence of their good sense is seen i'm the
fact that their entire, income is spent in
charging their facilities for doing more
and better work, buying new machine
ry, etc. Recently Mr.. Kuhn went to
New York and other points, for the pur-
pose of getting some machinery that the
establishment has long had much need
Of He succeeded admirably, and from
this time forward all wood work will be
done by machinery run by steam.
Messrs. Kuhn & Turpin have worked
hard all their lives, and we are glad to
see them reaping the fruits of their dill
gence. They are able to successfully
compete with Northern manufacturers
of plows and other agricultural imple-
ments, besides buggies, carriages, etc
We are also gratitied to learn that Mr..
w. j. Andrews's Cotton Cultivator, got
ten up by Kuhn d Turpin, has been
tried by number of Maliry county far
mers, and proven a perfect success.
Judging from the testimony of these
reliable citizens, this implement is des-
tined to prove of vast advantage to cot
ton planters.

AS DER us in a lovely night,
The fair young moon unbraids her hair
Eclipsing far in mellow light
The brightest star that wrinkles there.
So in. the halls where beauty finds
The sparks that fires the lamps of love
Miss L., the belle of Memphis shines,
Nor ever fails each heart to move.
And though the moon and every star (near
Shines sweetly when the night draws
Her beauty CLOVIS more dazzling far
Than all the hues that..sparkles there.
Just as their soft and mellow beams
Illumln thus the arch of love,
So DER each heart her beauty streams,
And through it sends thrill of love,

We can safely recommend these Bitters for
the purity of the spirits, and the innocent and
pleasant character of the ingredients cont aimed

tonic is required, they will be found equal, ii
not superior, to any Bitters before the public,

F5R Slsvfs.-It Is wen known that
The Suprsme Court of Louisiana,
ii an deliberately reasoned judg-
ment, more than year ago de-
creed that obligations founded
upon property in slaves we're in
valid in consequence of the aboli-
ion of the institution Of Slavery
by the Goyernmentof the United
States. The Court therefore re-
fused to enforce the payment of
such obligations. They asserted
in their decree that slavery had
never existed by law in, the Uni
ted States, that it had been tole-
rated only. guiu.o aa3 3a alaay
Judge Duren,. of the United
States Court in this State, thinks
differently, and weEdo not see how
any lawyer could come to the con
clusion that a contract, lawful
when entered into, could possibly
become unlawful by any subse+
quent act of the Government

favor of the plaintiff IN the case of

as endorser on a prOmissory note,
the consideration of which was for
