Mr.. Editor: I am glad to see that Ozark
Corner has correspondent to come forward
and represent the secluded little village Of
Hoodstown. Being Il near neighbor, and &C.
quainted with the circumstances and situation,
/ feel it my duty to assist him in "blowing his
horn" 1 will say that for the number of in
habitants, Hoodstown represents as many hon
orable avocations as any town or village in
this country, and "as many handsome women"
too. Also, good crop of bachelors. 1t is
pleasantly situated in delightful section OF
the country, with good water, pure air and
productive soil Society is good religion
and education attended to- But hope your

THE CROP PROSPECT.

The Spring has been almoat unprecedented
Iy forward, and as a consequence, vegetation
has rapidly advanced, and growing crops are
very promising. The rains Of last week were
highly beneficial to cotton. The plant, so far
as we can learn, has come up we'll, and fine
stand has been obtained. Corn is also prom
ising, the young stalks being healthy and Wig
orous. There is some complaint of rust on
wheat, but as yet it is eou6ned to the blade,
and with favorable weather for few more
days. it is not probable that the stem will be
seriously blighted. The oat cropis also prom
ising. There will be an abundance of truit
though not so plentiful as last year. Of this,
however, the farmers will not complain. Last
year their trees were er.burdened, and many
of them broke down and we're irreparably in
jured With smaller quantity on the trees,
the fruit will mature to greater perfection,
and be of better quality. Taken altogether,
the indications were never more promising in
this section for an abundant year.

ANDREW JAcKsoN's BRIDE--A letter to
Every Evening, from the eastern shore of
Virginia, says There is an old mill some
distance north of Drummondtown, decayed
and in ruins 1t is rather a romantic look
ing spot and there is something of pecu-
liar interest attached to the place. for there
century and more ago, was born Rachel
Donaldson, who afterwards became the wife
of General Andrew Jackson.
Miss Donaldson at an early age married
Lewis Robards, who appears to have been
an exacting and jealous fellow. Jackson
met her while boarding at the house Of
Robards' mother, in Mercer County, KY
where it appears the family of her husband
lived. Robards pretending to be Jealous Of
the intimacy between Jackson and his wife
deserted her. The matter led to divorce
of the married couple, when Jackson and
Mrs Robards were married.
There never really was any cause for the
desertion, and Jackson always resented the
slightest aspersion upon his wife's charac
ter, and is said to have carried pair Of
loaded pistols for years to avenge any refer
ence of a light character to her. 1t was
something of this kind which led to the
famous duel with Dickerson, in which the
latter was killed. There We're no children
born as the fruits of the union, but Andrew
Jackson, of Louisiana, who inherited the
estate and name of the President, was son
of Severn Donaldson, Miss Donaldson's
brother, who was also native of Accomac
County.

A PLUCKY WoMAN.-There are many poor
and very helpless women in the capital,
says the Austin Statesman. A poor woman
of infinite energy and heroic spirit was
starving beside her sewing machine few
months ago. Now she has pretty farm of
twenty-five acres. She has wheat aud corn
and cotton and potatoes growing luxuriant-
ly. She has three hundred chickens and
several hogs; and two starved COWS that
were given her by drovers, are fat and pro-
ductive. Her health is perfect and cheeks
rosy, and she plows and hoes in her field
and garden, and there are no weeds or grass
on that little farm in the suburbs. She is a
tenant of Dr. Rainy, and her modest little
home is mile north of the insane asylum
This example may give courage to women
and put to shame cowardly men, who,
rather than work, become beggars and thiev
ing tramps. In the presence of this game
little woman and her triumphs, these idlers
and tramps about the streets and whisky
guzzlers should be taken out and shot.

THE NARROW GAUGE
Convention Adjourned to OctO-
ber 23d.

Der 23d.
At the afternoons session the Narrow
gauge Convention adopted a number of
resolutions the gist of which is as follows:
That on account of the cheaper cost of
construction, lighter operating expenses
and smaller interest account, the narrow or
three-foot guage is the factor that will fin
ally solve the problem, and bring the coun-
try that which it so much needs-cheap
transportation; that the real advantages o f
the narroW-gauge roads can not be fully
compared with the standard-gauge roads
until they can be able to reach, by extern
tions or connections general distributing
depots, until which time their advantages
can not be fully realized by the public
that narrow-g gauge road may be built at
the present prices of labor and material
from the Mississippi or Missouri Rivers to
the seaboard, capitalizing upon the basis of
actual cost, and profitably compete with
freight; that the attention Of capitalists
ought to be called towards taking
up the bonds of narrow-gauges; that great
care should be taken in the location of lines
that the narrow-gauge is the peoples road !;
that steps be taken towards the creation in
New York of National Bureau of
Narrow-gauge Railroad Statistics, and
that the Convention postpone its labors
at present until October 23d, when another
meeting is to be held here.

pointed as follows:
