tF We are naturally sympathetic. When
our friends are in trouble, woe enters oul
own breast. When they are happy our jubi'
lation knows no limits. Even now We are
bow ed down with grief and feel like robinS
ourself with sackcloth and ashes.whcn we are
made painfully and sensibly aware of the
fact that Brothers Wheeler and Sparks must
be rery miserable. Poor fellows. how we pity
them. They receive re-lie-ablc information
that the railroad will cross at Ozark. The
independents authority for the r,lmor Is q
colored gentleman. and the beautiful air-cas-
tie which it has been building totters and
falls. the baseless fabric of n dream" 1t Is
mournful to think how utterly. entirely. com
petely. wholly. intensely. significantly. de-
spairingly, deprcs.ingly. and deploringly
miserable the Independent man must feel
But the worst is yet to come. The ST. Louis
mail is to stop at Van Barren. and our friend
Sparks will have to wait six or seven hours
Tor his northern mail. Now. that's too bad
No railroad; no direct mail from st. Louis
and the editors dreadful unhappy.

Of some of the ladies of Van Buren, have
been carried, in the recently tried case Of the
Wallace boys, we transfer to our columns the
following pleasing little episode, which oc-
Cured on our streets Immediately succeeding
the trial Directly after the jury had return
ed their verdict Of acquittal. Messrs. Cra-
vens and Marcum attorneys for the prosecu-
ton, were walking up the street. and met
some four or five ladies'. Some little awk-
wardness occurred on the part Of the gentle
men in cndcav0ring to pass, when one Of the
ladies, allowing her zeal to overcome her usu-
al discretion and courtesy. remarked to the
younger ladies to let them pass, and remark
ed to Col. Cravcns "a total stranger. by the
way Il don't like you much no way Col
Cravens. in his usual genial. courteous bear
