NJ. ~. O. WaHace-SIR-
After short respite, deem i
not irrational in me in assuming
the present attitude, as / hay;
no doubt but you would ike z
have another short communica.
ton from our little hamlet
Everything at present seems t.
be getting along tolerably
smooth-summer is here in oul
midstin its zenith, junebugs in
their ecstacy, dry weather still
prevailing, and the burning rays
OF old Sol are sensibly felt, SO
much so but for the friendly
clouds, that now and then draw
near in compassion, shielding
mother earth, we would think
it more sultry than otherwise.
1t seems impossible, however, to
please our Patrons of Hus-
Dandry. ANY way the wealth
er may alternate, it is sure to be
too much or too short Of dura-
ton. Then one hardly ever
knew some men to report
their crops in excess of expec-
tation, they are invariably,
''well, pretty good, considering"
indifferent" or "a .failure."- .
Though the fates seem to be a.
gainst them, but yet they move
onwith an untiring zeal. l take
it for granted that the allwisc
Creator, who rules the Universe,
does all things for our common
good. We did, however, pre-
vail upon a freind, the other
day, to acknowledge that his
cotton was as fine as he ever
saw in his section, in fact
better. And in looking a
round for ourself, we concluded
that our section looks tolerablv
well considering the opposing
circumstances, Notwithstanding
a great many think it duty to
croak worse than a frog. We
do not particularly admire
croakers, yet they may be tole-
rated through Politeness, Just |
as other distasteiul features must
be accepted, while we make
our own differences. For the |
last fortnight the farmers have
been actively engaged in thrcsh- |
ing and winnowing their wheat. |
Wheat is very good, BIT not as
it would have been, had it not
been for the excessiyedr Try wealth |
Ell, which caused a good guam |
tity to take the rust. Candi- |
dates visit us occasionally-l
sometimes seems that the can
1idates for the various county |
offices turned out en- masse, and |
we have then, a general hand |
shaking with the "sovereigns."
And we hope the most compe-
tent ones will be the victors,
rs we are decidedly in favor Of
The young folks
Of our little burg will enjoy
themselves, Notwithstanding OPP
pressive weather; they had a
party few days pre-
yious, and on the ensuing night
, nice little dance, every thing
went Off in the most social and |
agreeable manner Thus had
he lover and his feminine char
fine time. No one we
believe was profused by the in
lerent friendship Of John Bar
eycorn. We expect a good
leal of courting was prevalent
1T this gala occasion; f'not,
certainly golden opportunity |
vas lost. No young gentle
nan we believe took advantage
If the liberties allowed him on
such occasion, in making his af-
ections known-thisis owing 10
heir modesty alone. Ifno ten
Ter words were said, We can't
zee why, as the occasion was en-
ivened with the presence of a
yoodly number Of ladies pos
essing real attractions. There
5 no State in the Union that
an boast of more beautiful wo-
nen than Tennessee. When we
hink Of leaving for life the land
If our birth, one of the bitter
,st thoughts is separation from
ler charming women, and when
We do go, then our favorite song
shall be "the girl l left behind
me-" Our young friend Ma
thaniel Benedict returned few

proud to greet him once more

Of considerable promise, and if
spared bids fair to make a man
Of considerable note. We hope
kind Providence will smile on
him in his career in the collegi-
