Brooklyn Argus: A mans soul may
be a perfect Eolian harp, pulsing with
melody from the breath of every sweet
thought, and yet it will CRATE like a rat
file if he comes unexpectedly and detects
his wife taking music lessons with the
professors chin resting no matter how
c~arelessly upon her shoulder
Mr.. Philip M%unnelly. of Clark county,
Kentucky, has been ia the city for some
days buying feeding cattle to ship home.

poses being regularly in the market.

merchant. opposite City Hotel, will sell.
for the next thirty days, all heavy goods
in his line at less than eastern cost, for
the purpose of making room for his
spring stock. He considers it much bet
ter to sell at a small loss now than to
carry over, until next fall, a large stock.
Now is the time to get bargains. Don't

We have on our table some plants of
wild mustard, in full bloom, which were
culled in the open air. and brought to
us last Saturday by Mr.. Stewart Abbott,
of Irish Town. At that time blue grass
was growing, wheat was Il rich green,
farmers were blowing, and it was any
thing but wint'ry sincethen we have had
a touch of real winter, blooms and bios
som are no more, and the pillow is fro
e fast in the furrow.
The county assessor occupies a posi-
ton involving responsibilities of a much
more important nature than is generally
supposed. His work ab-olutely consti-
tutes the very foundation upon which
rests the whole county financial super
structure. Real estate owners, by pro-
viding themselves with correct plats Of
their lands, which can be obtained at a
trihing expense, from the Office of A.
WsHutchins, of this city, will thus have
it in their power to show an intelligent
description of the same. whereby the
work of the assessor will be facilitated
and rendered absolutely correct. So
self-evident a proposition only needs the
above given.
We have permission to publish the
following extract from a letter from a
lady in Texas, written to a relative in
this county, VIII oh, with many other
similar expressions, goes to prove that
county correspondence is apprecia-
ted abroad as we'll as at home: "Who is
it that writes from Wellington to the
Intelligencer? Please give
him my best respects, and tell him that
his pieces are read with intense interest
by N who is far away, and that I have
gained much valuable information there I
from. l hope he may continue to write,
but not too ''briefy'' of events that i
transplre Sin and around" that dear old t
town; for las the hart pants after the {
water brook so do | love to hear from ;
the land of beloved friends" !
