Dear Frccndn-Two young men in this neck
o. timber went q Courting expedition Il few
evenings ago, the objects of their loving atten-
tiOns being two very amiable pieces of calico
not thousand miles from where write. one
OF the young ladies belongs to the house visited
and the other is city visitor of the upper crust
persuasion. Well, 30 the presence of these two
handsome and interesting fair ones our heroes
betook themselves on last Sunday evening, no
doubt felicitating themselves as they pursued
converse with if not rubbing their corporeAI
corpuses up against quality. in due time they
arrived at the house, and after being ushered
i'll with the usual greetings, took the chairs aiot-
very eIoquentIy about the weather, about the
nice harvest people were having, and about
kindred topics, until the hour of ten by the
clock had epproa ched, when they were inTited
to remain ali night, a bed for that purpose be-
ing freely rendered them. Whether they view
ed the invitation as hint to leave is unknown
to this deponent, but certain IL is that they DC
clared their preference tor a moonlight walk
into the night they went In all this there was
no harm of course so far as i can see Would
that i I noUid saw as mueh for the rest of their
adventures on that memorable night. Truth,
fact that these two young men passed through
Il gate in making their exit from the prenfsess
and after having Gone So elthef Iiitlciousiy or or
remain open, thus leaving clear passage for
the cows, feminine and masculine, TO enter in
and feast without hindraHce OH the farmers
growing corn, which they did to an alarming
extent. These two WORTHLESS did not do like the
years ago, who, while on a like expedition, took
occasion to turn out some horses that had bro
ken into "A farmers Corn-field. But they were
doubtless ignorant of the fact that they had
left the gate open and that the cows by that
means had got into the corn, and you know that
where ignorance is bliss twere folly TO be
WISE IL reports be true, the farmer Is gong
to sue the festive youths for damages, but If he
win take my advice he will let the law alone,
and instead avail himself of the first opportu-
nifty that offers to dull their snOots.

made a hasty retreat, while Mrs. H., equally
alarmed, screamed as loudly as she could and
in this way aroused the neighbors in the same
house. The robbers, however, succeeded IN
