A friend informs US that they are
having u fearful time on Hackers Creek

informant tells us that the narrative Of

and that thereby hangs tale which may
yet be prize for Yc Local .@
OuR Jane Lew correspondent reports a

Ous Counrs.-Thc time for holding
our Courts III May is i'll chosen, aud
ought not to be allowed to remain. 1t is
Fixed for the Is, day of May-lhs very
time, above all others, our farmers are
engaged in planting their corn and other
crops. 1t is essential to the agricultural
Of our county that the month Of
May should be appropriated to all the ne
cessary arrangements for full summer :
and fall crop. After the May term, We
have no more Courts for six mouths. 1t
appears to us that there has been no en-
!arged or comprehensive consideration
for the proper direction or economy Of
labor in the arrangement of our Courts.
The May term should be changed. !. The
LIST of juno is much more suitable.

scrsal it isl We never yet knew man
who would say Il am contcnted." Go
where you will, among the rich or poor,
the man Of competence or the man who
earns his bread by tile sweat ofhis brow,
you hcarthc sound of muttcring and the
voice of complaint. Tho other day we
stood by a cooper, who was playing a
merry tune with his adzc around a cask.
"Ah!' said lie, "mine is hard lot,
forever trolting round like dog. dri-
wing hoop"
