FOR THE YOUNG FOLKS.
Out in the

OHt In the FOODS.
+'Hippity-rip ~ says the little tree-toad,
"Wha is going to happen to-day?
1 guess I had better get out of the road,
If those children are coming this way"
He stretches his hind-legs, SO long and slim,
For a flying leap to the hickory limb;
And then he pops open his ruby-red eyes
At the funny proceedings, in solemn surprise.
Hop-skip-and-jump it is Lorry and Len
With the rest of the romping crew;
They're scampering over the woods again,
And what are they goingt to do?
To build a bonfire, 1 do declare!
Is there any mischief they wouldn't dare p
But roasting potatoes is jolly fun
You eat 'em scorched, and about half donei
"Clickety-clack y says the saucy t~ree-toad,
" what a russ you young ones make
L wonder If baked potatoes are good?
How long do they take to bake ?'
He turns to the mother-bird on her nest
Four little f~edglings under her breast
DO you know, madam, about such th1ngs?"
She shakes her head, and she futters her wings.
"Chickad ee-dsel Don't you wish they would go?
lam really afraid" says she,
"That some Of those dreadful children know
have got my nest in this tree.
It's all very well for you. my dear
With your long legs You have nothing to fear;
For me-of course i could easily fly,
But fancy leaving my darling to die"
slippety-slide! "There's a copperhead-quick!
Keep Alice and Lorry away J"
Len picks up a stone, sgd "goes for" a stick
The snake thinks he'd better not stay.
He rapidly wriggles himself to his den,
And pokes out his tongue at the whole race of men,
fTwo-legged, hideous thing! 1 affirm
That only to look at them makes me squirm,"
Piffety-whifi what a cloud of smoke,
AS the dancing breeze comes near;
Says the little t~ree-toad, 81 shall certainly choke,
If 1 stop in this atmosphere.
l guess 1 had best hop a little bit higher,
For I don't quite relish the smell of that fire.
III go and inquire if Miss Katy-Did's in,
And see what she thinks of this racket and din"
Fiddlsdee-dee for the toad and the snake
The children care never a whit;
They eat their potatoes half-raw, and their cake,
They gobble it up every bit.
They jump on the logs where the sunshine is warm,
And brown ants and black ants in colonies swarm /:
They hang on the saplings, and merrily swing
Backward and forward, like birds on the wing.
But dingery-ding! in the midst of the play
The sound of the dinner-bell comes;
Hop-skip-and-jump they all scamper away,
And nothing is left but the crumbs.
Now the bird futters down, and the snake wrig-
giles out;
The pert little t~ree-toad goes hopping about
They eat up the scraps, and declare they are good,
And bright shines the sun on the merry green
wood.

"Truly," said he, "I surpass all ami

lordly do my horns tower up But my
feet, how long and ugly !"
Hardly had he uttered these
words when he saw a lion springing
toward him. With the greatest haste
his despised feet carried him to the next
forest but suddenly his broad antlers
were caught in the overhanging thicket,
and he could not tear himself away.
The lion overlook him and devoured
him. -saG

The amateurs of the Hook and Lad
der Company will give an entertain
ment next Thursday night, at Frank
lin Hall, and will upon that occasion
present the Comic Irish drama emit
tied Temptation" and the excel
lent farees Duel in the Dark and
Rooms to Let" In these plays the
young men are well up in their parts,
and we think we can safely promise a
treat to all who may attend.
On Friday night, the comedy Of
How to die for Love" will be pre-
scented, to conclude with laughable
farce of Raising the Wind.
The programme is an excellent one,
and we believe the young gentlemen
will carry it out in such manner as
to entitle them to large and paying
audience. The object is two-fold-to
give an entertainment worthy of our
intelligent community, and to raise the
small amount requisite to complete
and furnish their hall. Two hundred
and fifty dollars will do this-and We
cannot believe that their modest ap-
peal will be in vain, when our citizens
reflect upon their self-sacrifcing spirit
of devotion to the welfare and security
Of cur city andpeople. Let the hall be
crowded, with holders, of paid for
tickets SO that the r'boys" can take
possession of new and neatly fur
nished hall unincumbered by debt.

STREET GROwLERs.-The local ed
itor Of the. Jackson Wing and Trib-
une speaks as follows:
Street GROWERS and critics-men
who don't do anything themselves,
but snarl and snap at everybody that
does-men who always predict evil
and go out of the way to find fault
whose chief delight it is to sit aronad
and ridicule earnest men who create
the prosperity upon which those crit
les feed and fatten-who are always
ready to throw obstacles in the way of
advancement when they are not Com
sulted-who are ever ready with hurt
full insinuatiOns against those who are
embarrassed-who must lead and be
toasted if they appreye-whos neaking-
ly attack enterprises of general advan-
tage by slurring remarks against those
who are working them up-who have
no sympathy with youthful aspiration
or enterprise outside of their own fam
ilies-wbo slip around and poison the
minds OF others against persons and
undertakings, solely because their per-
sonal services are not asked or regar-
ded as indispensable-who envy youth
its high hopes and proud endeavor.
and essay to crush or cripple by sar-
casm and irony allsuch are contemp-
tible vipers. whose track upon the
earth is stained with filthy slime or
noxious poison.

COOPERATIVE.


The association, with the above
characteristic title, and located in this
city, has advertised its willingness and
ability to lend helping hand to par
ties desiring TO erect machinery, Of any
description, at this point. Believing
that such organization holds out the
only, if not the last, hope for manu-
featuring in GAINESVILLE, we earnestly
appeal to every man Of means, whether
in town or county, to contribute lib
orally to fund, which If judiciously
managed, will materially advance the
mutual interests Of both. The county
needs establishments which can sup
ply, for barter or money. those things
for which it is dependent upon foreign
capital, skill and enterprise. and the
town needs, none the less, those estab-
lishments to advance the growth Of its
population and wealth.
Thus mutually dependent, the citi-
gems of both ought to cooperate, in
fact and in spirit, to develope each
others resources-to build up the
town as a market for the products of
the county, and to enrich the county
by giving it a home market and retain
ing in our midst, the money which is
sent abroad, never to return, for num-
berless articles that can be as cheaply
manufactured here, giving employment
to skilled mechanics, who will, in re-
turn, promote the interest of the far
mer by consuming his surplus. much
of which is now wasted for the want of
consumers.
We now have in town, tannery,
which with little aid, can be made
valuable institution-one that will pay
handsomely ON the amount invested.
The town and county would derive
mutual benefits from its successful op-
Grafton. We have also a large and
well established pillow factory, and,
separate from it, a wagon shop that
turns out work equal to any. Why
not unite the two. with an eye to an
extensive manufacture of agricultural
implements?. Itis by such progress
i've steps only, that we can hope to es-
tablish manufactures, and if the 60
operative Association can be persuad-
ed to inaugurate system of progress
sion from small to greater things, it
will not only save the town from dry
rot, but give it vitality that viii raise
it to place among live, prosperous
and populous cities.
We have missed golden opportuni-
ties for the erection of cotton mills,
furnaces, &C., and we shall act wisely
to content ourselves with small begin
nings and take hold of them with a
fixed determination to swell them,
every year, into larger proportions
Such we believe to be the purpose of
the Association and, therefore, COM
mend it to the hearty support of every
man who desires to see taxes lowered,
the town grow and the county prosper.

tostke brief notice given of the death
of DIR. j. s. Sellers in our last issue.
Coming amongst us q stranger Dr.
Sellers soon won the confidence and
esteem of all who knew him, BY his
uprightness Of character, and there are
many in the humber walks of life
ready to speak of his goodness of heart
and his good deedsin relieving them in
the hour of necessity. Possessed of a
rich and varied store of information,
he was always aninteresting compan-
ion, and alike at home whether the
subject, was hi. profession, literature,
art or scientific researches. Leaving
us so lately in health and strength, we
could not but be surprised at his early
and sudden death, brought about, no
doubt. by the influences of the climate
where he had made his temporary
home. With his friends there and
elsewhere, We lament his loss and add
this short tribute to his memory. 80

THE ssBL0w IN. AT CITY MILLS.

The annual "blow in at the City
Mills took place last Tuesday. The
signal for starting the mill was given
by the steam whistle, and was also a
notification to the invited guests to
repair to the mill. In company with
our good looking neighbor, Mr.. Ing
ram, of the Tobacco Leaf, we were in
time to make an inspection of the ma
chinery and workings of the estab-
lishment prior to the arrival of the
crowd. We were politely shown
through by Mr.. M. 7. Graham, the
whole-souled engineer of the MILL
The magnificent engine and everything
under his control was polished and in
splendid running order. Our tour
through the building exhibited to us
some 5000 bushels of wheat and
specimen of the finest turn out of -four
for the season-which was pronounced
by competent judges to be very supe-
rior article. Mr.. Graham informed
us that they could store $1,000 bush
els of wheat, and under the direction
of Mr.. James Peacock, miller of
long experience, sound judgment and
strict integrity, they put up about 70
barrels Of -four per day.
We were then escorted to the re-
freshment room, where we found some
thirty OF forty invited friends seated
in social conversation, whilst Captain
Gracey, Mr.. Kropp, Mr.. Smith and
others were spreading the tables with
wines, cakes, cream, etc. The table
did not, as is usually stated, groavt be-
meath its load, but there was super
abundance of good things to refresh
the Inner man." and the grooming
was left to be done by those who felt
able after such flow Of spirits and
wit consequent upon such an occasion.
The popping of eorks, followed by sew
eral toasts of the quality of the wine
then took place, by which time most
of the crowd felt disposition to COM
mence "toasting." Toasts were offer
ed by Mr. w. T. Dortch, of the La
fayette Mills, Capt. Gracey, of the
wharfboat, o. NJ. Blackman, Esq, who
appears to be indispensable upon oc-
casions of the kind, Mr.. Voltz, of the
railroad, and various others, which
were received with a hearty gusto, and
responded to in happy style. We here
take occasion to state that our reason
for leaving our friend Bill Smiths
name out Of the toast we offered was
because it is such an unusual name in
this country that we could not make
pun upon it. On account of his
extreme cleverness TO us upon that
occasion, We hereby make amends by
returning him our best thanks.
After a genial feast Of good things
and flow of soul, the assemblage dis
persed in good order, about l O'Clock.
The Inauguration Of blow in by
the gentlemanly pr2prietors of these
justly celebrated mills, is a source of
much enjoyment, one day in the year,
to their many friends and the attaches
of the establishment, and in connec-
zion with their liberal and far dealing,
and the very superior article of flour
manufactured by them, has won for
them an enviable name. Long may
they live to enjoy it, adding, as they do
by their enterprise, largely to the ma
terial growth and advancement of our
city and section.

TERRIBLE FIRE IN BALTIMORE
The most serious and extensive con-
fagration with which Baltimore has
ever been visited occurred on the 18th
ult. The loss in money will amount
to about one million dollars, and the
disaster is increased by the destruc-
ton of hundred houses, which were
mostly occupied by a poor class of
people. The fire originated few
moments before eleven o'clock in the
sash and blind factory of j. Thomas
Il Son, in Clay street, between Lex
ington and Howard, and embraced a
district Of three blocks, bounded on
the east by Liberty, on the west by
Howard street, on the south by Lex
ton and on the. north by Saratoga
street. These two last named streets
run east and west and parallel with
them, and between them runs Clay
street. We give additional particu-
lars in another column.
