We have sstruck ileD-no, not
that exactly either, but then. we
have struck a lot of mud and water,
and it is to be supposed the oil win
come next. This is certainly one
ajuiey day" We acknowledge the
hit given US in your paper of April
9th, and will try and send in our
insignificant productions a little
earlier. We should have known
better, out as you say, we're not
thinking.
We feel thankful for the compli-
ment (?) extended us in the Ctr
ZEN of the 4th by our Lynnville
friend. Now, Mr.. T. L. n, you ac-
cuse US of masquerading, but you
are slightly mistaken. We assure
you We are not of the masculine
persuasion. As for exchanging
photos, vows of eternal friendship,
&c, Vowel, we'll consult oul hus
band, and if he don't object-we'll
talk about it. Ha! ha! suppose we
should do such a thingi I can i'm
agine how you would look, when
catching a first glimpse at my face;
you would throw up your hands in
utter establishment, and exclaim,
my goodness! this is the very old
woman that came over in the ark!
Young America was anticipating
a rich, rare and spicy time tonight
at the dance, bat we are afraid they
will be somewhat disappointed.
The ladies with Their tie backs and
trains can't get over this mud. We
don't often make remarks about the
fashions, but they've got US in a
tight place now. You know we
have been having the pin back for
two or three seasons, but as they
were not secure enough, we have got
strings, sewed on hard and fast with
doubled and twisted Irvine, and tied
back as tight as a knot can be tied.
Well, they are more convenient in
some respects. More people can
occupysthe same space than could
two or three years ago. We have
been trying the tie-backs, and must
acknowledge we have worn more
comfortable dresses, but it is the
style, and we had as well be out of
the world as out of the fashion.
Everything is going on in the
usual way here. Have had no
fights worth recording. Saw one
man in ba fix tie other day.
Don't know what was the matter
with him. He was trying to go in
every direction at once. The last
we saw of him he was trying to
make his way up the pike, and say
ing, "This is the crookedcst road 1
ever saw
Mr.. f. Smithson's friends are So
Letting him to become a candidate
for Representative. If he does, we
will have a stump carried upon the
square, and we'll get on it, and
work our level best for him. We
don't profess to be a good talker by
any means, but we can say as many
words in as little time as anybody
you ever saw
We hope by next week to have
something nice to write you, as we
are looking for several young ladies
TO visit our town, and of course we
could not write about them without
saying something nice. We have
heard it whispered around that
somebody is going to marry, but
don't know who it is. Now, is il
not strange that small matter will
excite so much curiosity, that is
that mems curiosity should be ex-
cited? The ladies arc always eX
cusable, having inherited that one
special trait from mother Eye-at
least so tits said. Now, don't be
lieve that Eve ate much of that APP
pie. 1 think Adam ate the most o.
it, and, man-hke, accused his wife
of it, and she poor creature had nc
proof to the contrary. MAMMA.
