STAY WHERE YOU ARE.

Hard times beget unrest, dissatis>
faction and desire Of change. With
cut stopping to realize that the same
elements occasioned dull times in
Maine or Vermont are in full opera
ton in Ohio and Illinois, the discon>
tented man feels that any location is
to be preferred to his present abode.
We advise all who are earning liv-
ing to stop where they are. Dull
times are always followed by periods
of activity, and one is better pre-
pared to secure the advantages Of a
revival in business where he is
known, than among strangers.
Again, moving about is demoralizing
in its tendency, expensive and de-
structive. Seldom do we hear of a
removal of man from village or
neigh borhood 10 which he is interest
ed, active and public spirited. Moth
ing so WEEDS man to q cause as work
ing for it-spenoing his time in sac
rifcing something for it. You may
be assured that the fault lies partly
at you. own door, when the desire
to leave familiar neighborhood 81
lences your better Judgement and
prompts the sundering of the ties of
early association. Resolve to-day,
all ye discontented, 10 take hold with
a will, and sustain your farmers
clubs and grange clubs, to discuss and
compare important practical matters
with your neighbors, to feel an inter-
est in whatever shall benefit your vii
lsge, your kinsmen, your family and
yourself, to cultivate spirit of con-
tentment, Improvement and cooper
alton.

AN INDIAN Lovers REVENGE

AN INDIAN Lovers REVENGE
The Victoria Colonist furnishes the
following account ofan Indian lovers
wooing and subsequent murder Of
his inamorata "A savage belonging
to one Of the tribes near Bar clay
Sound, on the west coast of Vancou
YER Island, became enamored of an
Indian woman recently, but paid his
addresses in vaip. Her friends OBJ
iected to the match because the
number of blankets cast at her feet
was deemed insufficient to secure her
affection. The Indian hunted, fished
and stole to procure the number of
blankets the maiden had set as the
price of her charms. But as often
as he reached the fxed number as
often did the tickle dusky one ad-
vance the figure, till at length the
savage gave up the struggle in des
pair and sought her love no more.
His affection, 10 fact, seems to have
turned to hate, for, meeting her in
the bush near the village about a
month ago, he set upon her with a
knife, with which he killed her.
He then cut off the head, cut off the
arms and legs, and mutilated the
body, scattering the limbs and pieces
through the woods. The murderer
openly defies punishment and glOries

BETRAYED BY A KISS.

M. D. Conway, the London corr
respondent of the Cincinnati COM
mercial, tells curious Indian story.
The Viceroy had received some of
tense from Scindis, and could not
avenge it openly; whereupon he
meditated and took the following
deeply deliberated method ofretalia-
ton: When large number Of ma
tive princes came up before him to
make their obeisance, no soon>
err did the offending Scindia enter
than the Viceroy sprang forward
With unwonted effusiveness and kiss
ed him on both cheeks. Such con-
tact from an alien and Christian is
the EXTREMIST faint native can re-
ceiye. Scandals own wives would
not come near him; 10 one moment
he sank in the eyes of all India from
prince to pariah, and ever since
the poor man has been undergoing
purifying ceremonials, costing large
part Of his fortune, to cleanse him
from the Vice>regal kiss by which
he was betrayed.

ASK THE OLD WOMAN.

A gentleman travelling out West
relates the following:
Riding horseback just at night
through the woods in Signor county,
Michigan, came into the clearing,
in the middle of which stood log

smoking his pipe. Stopping my
horse before him, the following cons

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The following are a few of the
many reasons why it should be held !:
First-The constitution Of 1868
was not called for, nor framed by the
representative of the intelligence,
patriotism aud manhood, of the PEG,
pie of Georgia.
Second--It was framed under
military rule in accordance with the
arbitrary, unconstitutional and OPP
pressive reconstruction acts of a
Radical congress.
Brevct Major General John Pope,
Military Commander, in Georgia.
ordered an election of delegates to
be held on the 29th, S0th, and 3lst
days Of October, which was contin-
ued on the first and second days Of
November, 1867.
The list Of registered voters num-
bered 1886 OF these only 1867
4l0 votes were polled. -Four thou~
sand one hundred and twenty seven
tickets were not Endorsed, "Conven-
ton" Of the l06,410 who did
vote, at least $4,000 were colored
men. Of the remaining 46,4l0,
22,3S3 where whites, consisting,
mainly, of radicals, and others, who
favored what was termed a relief
measure; Sl,737, constituting the
main body of the intelligent white
citizens of State, did not vote at all.
General Pope, the Military Com
mander, issued an order November
10, 1867, commanding the delegates
to meet at Atlanta, on the 9th day
of December, 1867, and "proceed to
frame a Constitution and Civil Cow
eminent for the State of Georgia,
according to the provisions and acts
above referred to, &C."
The Constitution, when framed,
was submitted to the people for rat,
fcation or rejection, and it was rati-
fed by the votes of ignorant blacks
and a few thousand white radicals,
and friends of the relief provisions
incorporated in the Constitution.
Third-This Consultation, thus
originated and framed, repeatedly
declares that the people of Georgia,
in seeding from the Union and con
tending for their independence, were
rebels against the lawful and para
mount authority Of the United
States.
Fourth-At the election for rati>
fcation or rejection of the Constitu>
ton, an immense majority Of the
white, intelligent citizens of the
State, went to the polls and spurned
it as a fundamental law, unworthy
of liberty-loving and intelligent
people.
The present constitution was the
act of the lately enfranchised ne~
groes, the carpet baggers, and other
radicals, and viewed in its proper
light, it has about it something of
the colorings of the Returning
Boards, who have fraudulently hoist
ed a President over the people
against their expressed choice and
will.

He was praising her beautiful
hair and begging for one tiny curl,
when her little brother said ooh,
my! faint nothin' now. You just
ought to have seen how long it hangs
down when she hangs it on the side
of the table to comb it." Then they
laughed, and she called her brother
a cute little angel, and when the
young man was going away and
heard that the boy was yelling, he
thought the lad was suddenly and
dangerously i'll.

A thieving postmaster was convicted
in Fredericksburg, Mo. The woman
who was matrimonially engaged to him
went to st. Louis, believing that she
could there do something to effect his
liberation but her hope seems to have
had no sound foundation. She stayed at
hotel until all her money was gone
Then she pawned clothing until she had
not enough left to keep her warm. Still
refusing to leave the city, and nearly
crazed by her failure to help her lover,
she crept into lumber yard one cold

were SO badly frozen that she could moi
walk, and she remained in the yard two
days without food. A policeman found
her at last, but she will not probably re-

that the piece will be very creditably
produced. Mr.. Cordray, We under

about theaters in cities, and is familiar
with the requisites to a proper render

effective as it is possible in small town,
before appearing before the public with
it-and to this end, ample time will be
taken by the company. The play will

The break-up of the ice in the Ohio
River from Pittsburgh TO Cairo, which
commenced the latter part of last week,
has caused the destruction of large
number of coal fleets, steamboats, and
other craft, and consequent loss of a
very large sum of money. At Pitts
burgh and Cincinnati the destruction
was immense, and the greatest excite
ment prevailed amongst boat owners
and the throngs of people who repaired
to the rivers banks to witness the specta
Gle. Several lives were lost, but for
tunably persons on the boats had am
pie warning of the impending ice gorge
and nearly all of them made good thei
escape before the grinding ice came up
on them. 1t is said to be by far tn
most disatrous breakup that has eve
occurred in the River.

A Trotting Team Of Oxen.

Dexter the tanner of bovines created a
great sensation on the streets yesterday
by appearing in carriage drawn by four
milk white oxen, all in harness and
driven tandem. The gay and festive
looking beasts pranced along in fine
style-Hheads up and tails risin," as
our John would say. Governor Thayer
was invited to take ride, and was driv-
en- about for some time by Dexter. 9th
er gentlemen also enjoyed the novelty
Dexter says that either of his oxen
can trot mile in 3:47. He offers to bel
any amount of money that he can load s
wagon with $500 pounds of freight, at
tach his four oxen, and make better tim,
to Deadwood than any four-horses O.
mule team with the same load can pos
sibly do.
