How Pat Dug the Well.

Not a great while ago an Irish.
man was employed in a village
where he was we'll known 10 dig

was made that he was to be paid

he went with a good will, and his
daily progress was watched in

Iy and late he worked away faith
fully, deep down in the earth, full
Of confidence in the speedy com,
pletion of bis labors. He reached
the depth OF about twenty-five feet
and soon expected 10 "strike wa,

returned to the scene of his labors
and horrible to tell, it had caved
in and was nearly full. He gazed
with rucful visagc upon the wreck,
and thought OF the additional la.
Dor the accident would cost him.
After a moments reflection he

no one stirring; then quickly di.

windIass and speedily made tracks
for u neighboring eminence that
overlooked the village. Here hid
among the underground ho quietly
waited the progress OF events. AS
the morning wore on the inhablt
ants began to arouse and stir out.
Several were attracted TO tho well;
thinking that as Pats coat and hat
were therc he was below. of course

raised that the well had caved in
and that Pat was in it. A crowd
collected and soon stood Mortified
at the fate OF poor Pat. A brief
consultation was held, and soon
spades and ether implements were
brought to dig out the remains of
tho unfortunate nan. TO work
they went with a will. When one
set became wcarled, with the unus.

grasped the implements and dug

Pat quietly looked on from his

With great care and precaution

into grin, which broke forth in
uproarious yells when tho verita-

Hints Concerning Kerosene.

men and children. A simple
knowledge OF the infammable ma.
turo Of the fluid would probably
put q stop to nearly all the u, ci-
dents. AS the Gil burns down in
the lamp, highly inhammable gas
gathers over it's surface, and as
the oil decreases tho gas increases.
When the oil is nearly consumed a
slight jar will often intlame the gas.
and an explosion is sure 10 follow
dealing death and destruction. A
bombshell is not more to be dread
ed, Now, if the lamp is not allow.
ed TO burn more than half way
down, such accidents are impossi-
BILE. Always fill your lamps every
morning, then you need never fear
an explosion.
Great ecohomy can be practiced
in regard to the wicks. There is
usually one-third Of a wick wasted
By sewing one wick to this un-
burnt end, and inserting the same,
i. c., the small piece, into the lamp
tube, you can burn much more Of
it; but be sure TO take it out be.
fore the part that joins the wick
enters the tube. Now turn the
wick on the other edge and burn
down to the joined edges. Thus Il
saving on both wicks is secured.
To be sure the saving is small, but
tho old adage is very true: "a
penny saved is u penny earned.
Half n teasPoontul of salt added 10
the oil of lamp which holds pint
will take away the disagreeablc
odor sometimes apparent, and it is
said TO prevent the formation ot
that dangerous gas. 1t is a simple
remedy, easily applied. 1t is alsc
asserted that tho salt makes the
oil last lon ger, but wo havo only
hearsay evidence concerning it.
Kerosene is the best antidote fol
a severe burn or scald. Immers,
the injured part in cold water for I

bathe in kerosene, and the terrible
pain soon ceases. Wc knew q liz

LITERARY.

The Hon. W. q. LEITNER's address
to the DeKalb Literary Society on
Monday evening last, did equal credit
to his head and heart. A labored ciit-
icism would be out of place, as being
unnecessary to those who were present,
and an injustice to the Judges fine eff.
fort. He first demonstrated the pre-
sence Of faction" as principle through
out the realm of Nature. Then ad-
Educed the human mind as an example
of the sublime height to which this
principle might be carried when joined
with fitness or adaptability. He point
ed us to the bright star Of Hope, as not
yet buried or hid by the dark clouds
which environ our political horizon be-
cause though pressed to earth, the mind
would arise like a Phoenix from its
ashes, and again prevail from its innate
power of action. He demonstrated the
necessity of work, work which is remu-
nerative, to bring back the prosperity
ef our Southern land. For this purpose,
he advocated that each should take the
Bible as his guide, making it a lamp to
his spath, and the standard of all his ac'
tions.
The whole address was replete with
lofty SMILES, fine ideas and grand apos,
trophies. -: O., ........

OFFICE.

NEMO AL VI l. IL ~ W. " l. - 1S'>'
We mentioned in our last issue that
the Post Office was about to be removed
from its present location, to Rutledgo
street, next door to Gen. kershaw's
Law Office.
! We do not see that there is any rea-
SON for this change. The Office ought
to be situated in a place most accessible
and convenient to all citizens. The
main street is certainly the be- : street
and its present position the most con-
venient for that purpose. Persons not
acquainted with The town, will frequent
ly be at loss to find the place to which
it is to be removed, and our own busl-
ness men be compelled to go out their
way, to a side street for their mail mat
ter. Bys~this contemplated removal,
one of the old landmarks of our town
will also be swept away. In view Of
all these objections, we enter our pro-
test against this change. ..

About two weeks since, some of the
, votaries of the merry god visited our
/ town with the seeming purpose of ex-
ercising their powers of voice, which
they succeeded IN forcibly impressing
upon the tympana Of our citizens. But
one Of them was SO overcome by his
tsats that he, felt unable to stand on bis
feet and acknowledging his defeat, al
though very 10th so to do, applied to
the Town Marshall for lodgings, which
that official very generously afforded
him in the "calaboose," a place set apart
for the reception Of obstreperous indi-
viduals with imaginations so vivid as to
lead them to believe that they are priv
ileged to use the public streets of the

DISTURBANCE IN CHESTERFIELD
DIsTRIcr.-Thc Chcraw Democrat, OF
the 50th ult., publishes the following
account of serious disturbance that oc-
Cured recently at Mount Croghan, in
that District:
We regret 10 have to report serious
difficulty in our District at the recent
township election, but arc glad to learn
that our people were not responsible for
it. Several statements have reached us,
but the following is the best authenticat-
ed and seems most reasonable.
During the progress Of the election,
a negro walked up to Arch'd Nicholson
with demonstrations Of fight, and told
him he was going to whip him. Nichol-
son Immediately went for his rifle, where
he had deposited it, but it had been re-
moved. He then advanced with his
knife on the negro, who ran and was
pursued. At last the negro turned with
a rail in his hand, and the fight began.
While struggling with each another nc
gro came up and struck Nicholson on
the back of the head with gun, which
put an end to that affair. John
Nicholson, the brother of Archibald,
had followed on to prevent the fight if
possible, and made every effort to do So.
He was struck in the forehead with a
rock, from some quarter not known, and
while binding up his wound Archibald
was there looking on. The young men
at the polls become exasperated at the
conduct Of these negroes, and drove
them away ,butdid not interfere with
those who took no part in the fracas.-
Archibald Nicholson, on bis way home,
complained of his hurt, which was not
regarded as serious, and after he reached
home died from its effects.
Application was made to magistrate
for warrant to arrest the negro who
had killed Nicholson, but he refused
it. On what ground he knows best, and
will probably be required to inform the
Solicitor.

,preme Court. ltappears that Attorney
General Hoar has recently presumed So
far as to treat the Judges ofstbe Court
with courtness and disrcspect. In the
progress of speech by him, the yener-
able Justice Nelson inquired: "What Is
the page of authority you are quoting
Mr.. Attoruey-G General :" To which the
man whom cx General Grant gave a
Cabinet place in exchange for library,
replied "May it please the court, /
decline to be interrupted in my argu-
ment." Whereupon the Chief Justice,
assuming upon his younger shoulders
the affront directed at his associate, and
incidentally rejecting upon the whole
bench, brought the Massachusetts, at
torney to his knees at ence by saying
"Mr. Attorney General, you will cease
in your argument for the present.
This court, as you will learn when you
have become used to it's amenities, re-
serves the right to question at any time
any Of the counselors on any point what
ever. Your rejoinder to the question OF
my associate is inadmissible; and when
you have apologizcd to the court for lam
guagc which we must say was never
heard here before, you may proceed, but
not until that is done" Whereupon the
legal bully collapsed and meekly begged
pardon, which it pleased the couEto al
low.
