Mr.. EDITOR Our quiet village was tin
scene of quite an amusing incident on Frida,
of last week. The "other paper" of you
city, has been SO enterprising and fortunate
as to secure regular correspondent, who re
sides in an adjoining State and he has furn
ished y weekly account of the doings and say
ings of our village, for some months past in
the way OF letters 70 that paper
Some Oh these letters have been very per-
sonal and have caused bitter feelings to arise
in the hearts OF many fourcitizens. All classes
have had to take their tufn--thc ladies as well
as the conference.-the merchant, banker,
butcher, teaci'er,--mcn in official position as
well as men IN private ltfe--the man six feet
in his stockings down to the school scholar
the enterprising business man giving employ
ment to many hands, down to the colored
coachmiaii-
These letters nave beessyeiy much admired
by their author, and he has been advertising
9 The Beacon IN this section by his referring
to and reading his letters in public places, and
then making an appeal for subscribers to this
excellent Journal that has so many first-class
correspondents.
But IL Is 4 long road that has no turn, and
last Friday afternoon the turn came. Jim
my had been out IN the country on the Jer-
sey side for the purpose of driving COW to
the pennsylvania shores, that had been pur-
chased by a dealer 1.-The pen is mightier
than the Sword, but neither one would
answer in this new occupation for cores
fastened it securely around the horns of the
animal, and started on his way rejoicing in
his new employment, looking out on his way
for items.
When he arrived at stockton, the COW, be-
coming thirsty and no doubt having heard of
the still house that her driver had recently re-
ferred to in one OF his letters, concluded to
halt and take something to refresh and stimu-
late her on the journey. Her driver did not
agree to her request and as usual upon such
questions of difference trouble arose, the COW
refusing to 60 any farther and her driver de-
termined that she should proceed. For a
while the contest would seem to be balanced.
and then the correspondent would make a
desnerate effort NV annlvino tho lash and

Jimmy's thoughts and feelings could b,
better imagined than described upon this oc

would have ended--whether the man or brui
power would have prevailed, had it not bee

gave his permission for the COW to DC fastene
to his farm wagon, and thus ended the eA

and travel was resumed, and himself gong o.
