SUNDAY LAW AGAIN.-Thurs-
day there came on to be heard
in the Justices court the case of
the State of Texas VS.. Thomas
Ebell, charged with violating
the Sunday Law, Policeman
John Lockett having made the
complaint. Mr.. Ebell, by at
torney, demanded a jury, and a
jury was duly summoned. The
county attorney looked, first at
the jury, then at the law, then
at the court and then he rubbed
his head, after which he an
nounced that he would dismiss
the case. Mr.. Ebell, who had
brought into court a Saratoga
trunk containing the largest,
the grandest and the most beauS
tiful ostrich plume west Of the
Father of Waters, took it out,
put it in his hat, and, forming
himself into grand triumphal
procession of one, marched
home. Thus endeth the second
chapter ofthe Sunday Law.

county. Some farmers declare
that it will require tour acres to
the bale of cotton; while others
place the estimate at two acres
to the bale. The truth of the
matter is that no one can, at
this time,approximate the yield.
The corn crop is very short,
but tits generally believed that
enough has been raised for
home consumption; besides,
there is plenty of old corn in the
county, consequently no uneasi-
ness need be felt on the corn
question.

THE Improvement Of Human Health.
| IN result If somewhat large ac-
Iquaintance with the facts held to ii,di.
lcate the state and progress Of human
health, ! fear my testimony must be
given to show that the Improvement
effected BY science consists in pro-
|longatiou Of the passive endurance Of
life, rather than an extension Of the
period Of true vitality, Or any increase
|of the opportunity for good work and
real intellectual enjoyment. We may
live longer, but our lives are not
either happier or moro useful for the
excessive energy recently devoted to
the conservation Of health, or this in
ordinate and laborious means taken to
avoid disease and death. It may,
doubtless, be possible to raise human
ity to the level Of one Of those scien-
tiiic toys which approximate perpetual
motion, but cxpend their whole force
ID moving themselves. Whether lon
gcvity purchased at the price OF pasa-
ing lifetime in running away from
death would be worth having, ! must
leave to be determined by the jndg-
Incnt Of those who set value on our
so-called sanitary progress. which I.
for one, fail to recognize.
/ think men were happier and bet
ter, and lived nobler lives before the
pursuit Of health and the yearning for
longevity became craze, almost
amounting to madness. VIVA. to eat
drink and avoid, what to wear, where
and how to live, by what means to
avoid infection, to keep off disease, and
to escape death for few weary aud
worried years, are questions which en-
gross the thoughts, If they do not em-
bitter the lives of the multitude,
that the proposition, els . sanitary
life worth living?' has come to be q
subject Of serious contemplation, and
one which the taxed and harassed
community will sooner or later be
compelled to entertain.--Dr. Granville
in letter to the Spectator.
