The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
some time since received a letter
from u young man, who recon-
nended himself very highly as be-

quest. "Get me an easy situation,
that honesty may be rewarded"
To which Mr.. Beecher replied:
+" Don't be an editor, IT you would
be 'easy.' Do not try the law.
Avoid school keeping. Keep out
of the pulpit. Let alone all ships,

Last Saturday the democrats and
greeabaekers held ratification meet
ings at Cofeeville, Yallobusha
county, aud each party had pole
raising. The democrats had a brass
band from Grenada, and, after the
pole raising, marched through the
streets. While passing a corner u
difficulty occurred between a negro
named Spearman, who was In the
democratic procession, and r. V.
Pearson, greenback candidate for
sheriff, which resulted in Pearson
shooting Spearman and killing him
instantly. This was the signal for
a general melee. Avolley of shots
were opened upon Pearson, who
was shot three times, from the ef-
fects of which he died that night.
Two white men, Kelley and Red
dick, friends of Pearson, were
wounded. For time perfect

On Thursday last the Baptist Sabbath
School had picnic in Pickrel's Grove, a
mile from town, on the Gallipolis road.
Rev. E. W. Lloyd, the Pastor of the
church, invited us to attend. We arrived
at eleven o'clock, and found a large num-
Der of people in the grove. They had
iced lemonade in abundance, swing for
the children, and all were enjoying them
selves.
Near twelve o'clock the people were
called together, and sang two or three
pieces, when nothing would do but we
must talk few minutes to the children
and people.
We had several invitations to dinner,
and accepted that of Mrs. Roberts, wife
of William Roberts. There was a great
abundance of provisions all around, and
after dinner the swing was in constant
use, and old and young enjoyed them
selves until near six o'clock, when the
Band Wagon brought the people to town
having to make several trips. The day
| was fine, and it was pleasant affair.
