storing the whipping-post as punish

Magistrates now have jurisdiction of all
such cases, and where parties are con-

whipping post. Only in cases of women

person whipped under the restored law
was in the town of Hampton, Va, a few
days ago. The victim was petty thief
from Baltimore, named Mccormick, a
white fellow, and the castigation was
administered by the negro constable of
that town. While it may be true that
imprisonment is no adequate punish

This section of country has not been
blessed with a good, old-fashioned, soak

have been frequent showers, which have
kept the corn growing on the rich low

is slim indeed, and no amount of rain
will bring it forward. Not half crop

Portuguese Courtship.

The young men of Portugal have one occupation more important than wearing tight boots, and which al most, in fact, goes with it--that of making the very mildest form of love known among men. The young gentlemen pay their addresses by simply standing in front of the house occupied by the object of their affections, while the young per son in question looks down approy- ingly from an upper window, and there the matter ends. They are not within speaking distance, and have to content themselves with expressive glances and dumb show, for it would be thought highly un. becoming for a young lady to allow a billet doux to 1utter down into the streets, while the laws of gravitation stand in the way of the upward flight of such a document, unweight, ed, at least with stone, and this, of course, might risk giving the young lady black eye, or breaking her ia ther's window panes. 50 tho lovers there remain, often for hours, feeling no doubt very happy, but looking unutterably foolish. These silent courtshlps sometimes continue for very long periods before the lover can ask the fatal question or the la dy return the final answer.
