SICKNESS.
A kind of epizootic colds are prevailing
here. Sepulchral tones forid compilations,
dry hacking coughs, aud grimaces shaded
according to the pain experienced, are all
the rage. But few have been proof against
them, and the most smiling countenances
one meets are the doctors and druggists,
who are reaping the fruit Of the old adage
about the ill wind.
"GUYAs CUTAs.'
Your correspondent with the euphonious
name of Guyas Cutas,' has, through
your columns, given me an invitation to
correct the mistakes in his letters, under a
penalty in case of refusal, of having my
frontspiece blackened. And it is the more
interesting because personal; for he says,
from {. his y language he knows his man.
And if | had any Of the feminine proclivty
about my age, should say that he has taken
a presumptuous liberty with both it and
my memory when he asks me to go back
with him forty years But | must decline,
let the consequences be what they may; for.
LIST, ! have not time for such Is gigantic
contract Of word building: End, ! prefer
hunting in my own preservers to following
i'll others to get what is missed or left; 3rd,
The correction of my own errors and omis-
Sons are sufficient task for the time allotted
ME; 4th, Observation and experience have
taught me that such labor when performed
is seldom appreciated, no matter how
politely the invitation to it; 9th, "Guyas
Cutas " has sufficient ability himself to do
it, and l have no doubt revised edition of
the letters will be equally as interesting as
the first ones.
POLITICAL.
Judging from the popular current, your
remarks in regard to the character of dele
gates to our coming conventions meets with
a hearty approval. How far the compost
ton of the lately elected ticket of Town
Commissioners here was made with a view
to the coming delegate elections, time will
unfold. The men upon that ticket are,
however, too independent to be used foi
any political chicanery. To help a friend
to be Bailitf may be differently construed
then. In the light of present events, the
great object should be to secure harmonious
action in our county and State conventions.
