One of our young ladies, who is counting
grey horsesand much interested in the leap
year business. made sad mistake last week
by looking for the eclipse on Friday night,
when that mportant event took place the

the old folks, for the waiting maiden was
alone in her yigils. -

Mrs. Leckart, wife of Stanislaus Leckart,
+. q recent Polish immigrant, died suddenly on
the.premises of E. Earle, Esq, Of this
County, on last Friday morning, leaving two
small 'children-the younger only q few
sShonths old. The situation of Mr.. Leckart,
stranger in strange land, unable to speak
English, and with two small children on his
hands, appeals strongly to the sympathies Of
the charitable.
The following notice was seen posted con-
spicuously ON the entrance gate to wealthy
gentleman's plantation in Georgia: "PLRzE
Kwrp UP THE Boss" Although the erudite
African overseer meant to keep up the
'bars,n yet we think literal reading is
quite good, as it would be o desirable thing
in these degenerate days for a large-sized
plantation to keep up the "boss," instead of
the reverse being true.
The sun enters the Zodiacal constellation
Aries at twenty minutes past one o'clock,
on next Monday morning. This is the
vernal Equinox, and marks the beginning
of spring. From the remarkable seasons
lust past it is impossible for Us to form any
idea Of the weather by the season, for
we have been having spring-like weather
through most of the winter. Many persons
fear3we wiz yet have winter where We ought
to have spring.
We are requested to state that a meeting
will be held at N. O. Farmers Store on Sat.
urday, 25th inst, at tvo o'eloekp p. m., for the

other important business, including the elec-
ton Of delegates to the County Convention.
All persons who are in favor of honest and
correct government, and are willing to unite
