A BILL IN CHANCERY.-A rather rich
bill was recently filed in Chancert. 1t was
about a horse or a mare, hut we'll behane
! ed il we can exactly say which. The bill
however, uses the word 'horso" all the
way through, until it comes to speak of said
horses colt, and then it says: 1.-THE colt of
said horse (Which is a mare) etc" Now
which is the mare-the horse or the colt
Il the horse is meant by the parcnthasis,
how could he have given birth TO colt. II
the colt was a mare WY didn't the bill say
so? This is a knotty question for the
Chancellor, and wen be blasted If we can
see how he will decide which is the mare,
the horse, or the colt.

| A HARD WINTER.-NOt within the men,
ory Of the ''oldest citizen" (who is al
ways prompt on occasions like this) has
there been 80 hard winter as this. Rain,
snow, ice and cold b.eak winds have riValsd
each other in herceness. lee here, ice there,
ice every where. ice even in the hearts OF
nillions-while the merry sleigh bells go
laughing by. Snow, ice who enjoys them!
Those who have comfortable mansions;
warm fres; downy beds; epieurian tables
and money. Who shudders at winter, with
its "beautiful snow" and mirror like ice!
Those of whom the preachers talk. Those
on whom philsnthropic societies get OF
| their finest and tenderest rhetoric. Those
whose miIeries as pictured from the pulpits
of God, wet each Sunday Ct the winter
the hem-stitehsd or silk hAndkerchiefs-of
those whose sympathetic tears are dried up
by bright fires, and comfortably soothed by
the luxuries Of bountiful dinners. A hard /
winteri Yes, it has been 4 hard winter
indeed, and many a poor widow and
friendless orphan fully appreciates that
fact, very solemn and impressive 10 them,
to be sure. Well, it is useless to pursue
this melancholy strain in this wonderfully |
progressive and christian age. However,
we would most earnestly and tenderly /
| recommend to the sympathies of this most /
eminent 10Th century, that class of widows; !
who amid the gloom and cold OF this extra
ordinary winter, are forced to hover over a |
glowing IRE, and mourn in misery word. |
less, over the twenty or nifty thousand dol !
lars left them by their deceased husbands,
They, at least, will be eOnsoled. and that is |
| some consolation, even in this christian |
age. The very thought makes US happy
and hence we close this article in serenity.
OUR RAILROAD Briefly, we
would again urge upon the citizens of
Jackson the vital importance Of completing
our railroad system. Tue history of civil
zation furnishes no Illustration Of an int
rior town becoming = city, except upon
the basis Of Railroads. We defy any man,
here or elsewhere 10 controvert the fact.
Further, We appeal to the history of ciyili-
cation to furnish a single illustration of a
town becoming city by being on the line
Of two acknowledgements important
those roads. Still further, we defy snv
man to put his finger upon single Aour-
ishinE, manufacturing city-that has not
more than two or even three Railroads.
Jackson aspires TO be city, and 10 COM
compass that ambition, what must first be
done! jackson must have Railroads. She
must become railroad center. She must
have railroad connections in every direc-
ton. she must in short, lave competing
lines OF shipment mas well a. shipment
out When the Railroad system OF Jackson
il completed, (and the promise is propi-
tiOus, then she will become 4 distributing
point, not only for cotton, but other staples
and for manufactured goods-manufactur-
ed here. A glorious future can be achieved
for Jackson by her people, or a bright
promise darkened BY sloth or seldshness.
