REMEMBERED ExAcTLY.-A lying wit

generally fails to guard all his week points.

Wit was raining, and he shaved out
some handles"

But before the question could be finished,
the witness wife seized him by the collar
and whisked him outside of the witness box,

A MAN WHO LOVED HIS GUN.-A cor
respondent, telling about the good old times
in Florida, says: In those days. when every
man took his trusty rifle with him to the
field and carried it with him ashe plowed,
the weapon became part of his life, much
dearer to him than the wife who cooked his
bacon, or the children who called him "Pop," ,"
and stole his tobacco for surreptitious chew
ing. Only the other day, doing his weekly
trading at the country store, l met keen
eyed veteran of seventy-four, who in years
agone had lost wife and two children at
the hands of the savages. Old as he is, this
man is erect and hearty, and can outwork
and out-walk many man of half his age.
He was miles away from his home when
the news reached him that his farm had
been raided by rowing band of Indians,
his house and out-buildings burned to the
ground, and his wife and two children kill
ed and scalped, to make the ruin all com,
plete. Instead of wringing his hands and
bursting into tears, as one of weaker mould
might have done, he exclaimed in passion
ate words: "Yes, and by -, I'll bet they
got my new gun, too."

PHYSICIANS, PRESCRIPTIONS.

VXTHEREAS, it has come to the notice Of the
w Town Council of Iorkville, that the right
of physicians to give prescriptions for spirits, to
be filled at Drug Stores, has been grossly abused
by being given to unworthy subjects and where
as the said Council having presented the matter
to the Grand Jury of the late Circuit Court and
that jury having taken no steps to stop such
abuse, but has referred the subject back to the
Council to be acted upon by them;
Resolved, That this Council, knowing the Civ
ing of prescription to persons not sick and not
patients of physicians giving the same, to be n
violation Of law, have determined to address
request to physicians to refrain from giving pre-
scriptions to persons not properly having the
right to ask for them; and moreover. to notify
physicians that hereafter the prescription files Of
the Drug Stores will be frequently inspected by
the Council, and whateverabuse there found will
be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, the
Council reserving the right to use any evidence
now in their hands.

sometimes start out into life with the idea
that ones success depends on sharpness and
chicanery. They imagine if Il man is able
to "get the best of a bargain" no matter by
what deceit and meanness, he carries his
point, that his prosperity is assured. This
is a great mistake. Enduring prosperity
cannot be founded on cunning and dishones-
ty. The tricky and deceitful man is sure to
fall victim, sooner or later, to the intlu-
ences which are forever working against
him. The future of that young, man is safe
who eschews every shape of double-dealing,
and lays the foundation Of his career in the
enduring principles of everlasting truth.

YOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

II HAVE leased WRIGHT'S FERRY for new
term, and in addition to the Wire Cable eX-
tending above Crowder's creek, have erected a
new IRON CABLE extending from the Char
lotte to the Yorkville landing below the creek,
with which to convey the ferry boats, thus rem
derng it almost perfectly safe in crossing the
river, either during high waters or winds. The
new Cable is of the most approved kind in use,
with noiseless puleys. I return my thanks to
the public for the generous patronage bestowed
upon me, at this place, for the past seven years
and hone, bv strict attention to business, to merit
Il continuance Of the same.
