Coon ADVICE TO BoYs.-An exchange
thus discourses to the boys: "The boy
who spends an hour of each evening loung-
ing idly on our street corners wastes III the
course of a year three hundred and sixty
five precious hours, which, if applied to
study, would familiarize him with the rudi-
ments of almost any of the familiar sci
ences If, in addition to wasting an hour
each evening, he spends ten cents for Il
cigar, which is usually the case the amount
thus worse than wasted would pay for ten
of the leading periodicals of the country.
Boys, think of these things. Think of
how much time and money you are vast
ing, and for what? The qualification af-
forded by the lounge on the corner or the
cigar, is not only temporary but positively
hurtful. You cannot indulge in them with
out seriously injuring yourselves. You
acquire idle and wasteful habits, which
will cling to you with each succeeding year.
You may in after life shake them eff, but
the probabilities are that the habits thus
formed in early life will remain with you
to your dying day. Be warned then, in
time, and resolve that as the hour spent in
idleness is gone forever you will improve
each passing one and thereby fit yourself
for usefulness and happiness"

There was serious riot in Charestown,

crowded with blacks and whites, excited
and anxious over the election returns. \
dispute between Republican and Demo
Gratis was followed by the blacks, who were
in the majority, opening a general fire
upon the whites and driving them from the
street for a time. The whites soon rallied
and a sharp conflict ensued, which was
speedily stopped by the l. 5. troops, who
arrived quickly on the scene and dispersed
the mob. Two men-oue white and one
cplored-were killed, and several blacks
and about a dozen whites were wounded.

TIE ELECTION.


The telegraph office was kept open on
Tuesday night, to get election news, each
party paying half of the expenses. Never
before was there SO much anxiety mani
tested to get the returns from the different
States. The Republicans established their
headquarters in room at Mr. Miller
hotel, where the dispatches were read for
the benefit Of the crowd present. We could
not get much encouragement from the
news, but every one kept in the best pos
sible humor. Joking was the order of the
night, and all had good time. The room
was closed before daylight, all being salts
fled that elections are very uncertain. The
Democrats marched through town between
four and five o'clock, giving loud and con-
tinued cheers for Tildeu and Hendricks.
At Rock Run they built a large bon. fire.
REV. Mr.. EASTER,

A They could not possibly; they could not

TROUBLEN.

TROUBLES.
GALVESTON. March 3O-A special TO the
Galveston Neos, from Brownsville, Texas,
dated 3Oth, says: Capt McNelly has marched
his company to the neighborhood of Santa
Maria It is reported that he has information
of small parties of raiders being in that
neighborhood, and that he intends to drive
them into Mexico.
Prominent Mexicans are still crossing to
this side. 1t is reported that the steam
launches were running up and down the river
last night.
If so, they were no doubt intending to pre-
vent violations of the neutrality laws. Yes.
terday the revolutionists were moving. The
government troops expected an attack last
night. The report that Gen. Pena has aban-
doned the revolutionary cause is said to have
originated from his temporary absence on &C.
count of bad health.
Last night, the m en- on guard near the Casa
Mata, in Matamoros, deserted, and joined
