The citizens of the vicinity Of Fox
vile, Hauver's District, enjoyed them
selves greatly on New Years Day by
chasing red foxes around the hills,
and listening to the music of the
hounds. One red fox WAS captured
and another chased to his den in the
rocks. In the evening a gay party
attended at marriage feast and en-
loved the good things.

dent Of the Baltimore .Su1t, thus speaks
of our county jail
1.-The Frederick county jail is the
most miserable Sleepy Hollow con-
Germ that disgraces this city. 1t is a
we'll known fact that it is entire y in
adequate for the accommodation Of the
criminal class Of this county. At the
time the Jail was built it was consd-
cred sufficiently large to accommo-
date all who failed to conduct them
selves in lawful manner during that
generation, but it is now more orna-
mental than useful Since then Grim
inals have largely increased murder
ers, burglars, pickpockets and disor-
derby have increased with the popula-
ton. The jailer is compelled, as the
saying is, to 'double-up,' that is to
put two, three, four, five and even
six prisoners in each cell 1t then be-
comes the prisoners turn to "double-
up" for the cells are hardly large
enough for them all to stretch out all
at full length. -

RECENT FINDS N THE SOUTH AFRICAN
DIAMOND FIELDS-The Natal Mercury of May
26 contains the annexed items:
MIR. John Ellis requests US to report find by
his partyRt New Rush Of diamond Of 81 carats,
We have seen the stone it is of a good shape
free from flaws, and slightly of-cOlOred.
pure white stone of Il carats was found at
Colesberg KOp, and au OG-coIored diamond of IS
carats. and another of IS carats, we're unearthed.
Mr.. George Knox exhumed an off-colored dia-
moad of SO carats at the New Rush. 1t is rather
fat stone, and slightly spotted. In connection
with this We may mention that the claim in
which the gem was found was under offer 20 a
company recently from England for an amount
about equal to the value OF the stone. The
transaction had not been completed when the
stone was turned out.
Large operations took place yesterday in the
diamond market, owing to advices from Europe
of rise of fully 25 per cent. There is little
doubt that this information is correct, and we
congratulate the diggers on a turn IN the tide.
About thirty Brummagem diamonds were
recently offered to diamond-buyer for sale.
The diamonds looked so marvelOusly ike the
"real article" that they would have been all
bought up but for one thing-they we're all Of
one weight and one size.

We have been requested to give some in
formation as TO the proper way Of preparing
tickets for the November election. In
compliance we say that the ticket should
have upon it the names Of the twelve Pres
idential Electors; then of the candidate for
Governor; then Of the candidate for Con-
ress from the State at Large; then of the
candidate for Congress from the district;
then of the candidate for the Senate; then
of the candidates for the House of Repre-
sentatives; then of the candidate for Joint
Representative, If there be one. The or
der of the names of the candidates
for the several Offices is not prescribed by
law, and the name of the candidate for
Governor, for instance, may be first, last,
or in the middle. All that is necessary is to
have it distinctly stated for what Office you
wish to vote for your candidate. 1t is not
necessary to put on the ticket the names of
the candidates for President and Vice-Presi-
dent whom you wish elected, though itmay
be done if desired. It is a matter of taste.
The Presidential electors cast the vote for
the candidates for Presidency and Vice
Presidency, and not the people. We give a
sample Of ticket:

AN APPEAL To Ex.CONFEDERATE
"a SOLDIERS.

To the Editor of the Conrier-Journal.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 1, 1S72.-There is in this city
alady who, during the war, lived In Louisville.
Her house was the home of Southern soldiers and
escaped prisoners, on whose account she was
banished at last from the State. Her husband
lost his life in defense of what he believed Just
cause. Her two sons were soldiers, and one of
them captured as spy, was put in irons and
kept in close confinement until injured for life
Reduced to want by ill-fortune, she has, since
the war, been trying to support herself
and a large family by the scanty earnings
of her needle. A woman Of refinement and
culture, she has suffered long and sorely, rather
than let her distress be known. And even now,
her friends would be surprised to learn her real
condition Had her husband and sons been on
the victorious side, government pension would
provide for her wants. But they fought with the
defeated, and she must strusg gle on unaided
against adversely. 1 believe there are in Louis
vile many ex- Confederate soldiers who will be
glad to help the friend who literally gave her
self fOr them when friends were not too numer-
Gus.
Contributions left at the C6urier- Journal Office
will be sent to me, and applied in such way as
TO aid without giving offense to one who with all
her need, would still shrink from any public APP
peal Z. A. HOLLAND.
We win be glad to receive any funds
for the estimable lady referred to in the
above communication of Rev. Robert A.
Holland, and to see that they promptly
reach that gentlensan.-Ed. Courier oarGl.
We republish the above from the Courier
Journal as there may be some here in
Tennessee who would be willing to contri-
butte something to the relief of this widow
ed lady who lost her husband and two sons
in the Confederate service. The cause in
which they fell is stigmatized as war of
treason. There are tens of thousands in
the South who have to share with them the
ignominy that may be fixed upon it; yet
their sympathies are with those who are
now suffering from the affections which
that war oecasioned and they will willingly
contribute their mite to relieve the suffering.
