He Took the Chances.
Southern Watcllman.

Jim Clark, a negro man from the
neighborhood, who came to town
on the 9Th inst, to witness the ex-
ecution Of Ed. Eli, thought it was a
fine opportunity for making raise,
and accordingly he took a survey
of the horses hitched about town
and made choice Of fine saddle
horse belonging to Mr.. E, P. An
drews, and mounting him took the
road towards the town of Jackson.
About nine miles was quickly made
when he found himself at the store
Of Mr.. Emerson Thompson. Tired
and thirsty he got down and enter
ed the store and there proposed to
sell the horse and rig for thirty-fve
dollars, as he had no further use for
them. Mr.. W. r. Skipwith, a clerk
at the store, knew the horse but
couldn't locate the rider. Suspect
ing theft had been made humor-
ously told cufiee that he would take
the horse-and also his rider, down
to Clinton as thief. Remonstran-
ces were in vain, as Mr.. S. showed
him the way at a two-forty pace. He
took the horse at about 1:30 p. M,
and at 5 p. M, same day, was rest
ing upon a pallet behind the CRATES
of the parish hotel, after a ride Of
Is miles in B hours. Mr.. Andrews
was on hand and took possession of
his horse.

aud the Chicago Galvanized Wire
Company of Chicago.
After lengthy discussion 1t was
resolved to close all manufactures
from July / to Sept. l, and longer,
if necessary, in order to curtail the
supply. It was also agreed not to
sell hereafter any wire for less than
5 and 6 cents per pound. This was
all the business that was made
public.
A person who attended the meet
ing said that this action would
throw out Of employment about
$4,000 men. He said also that the
demand for wire has been very
heavy up to the last two weeks, but
that now the stock is beginning to
accumulate rapidly. The action of
the meeting would have the effect
Of sending prices up higher than at
present, and he was satisfied that
they would go even higher than was
fixed by the meeting. Outside OF
| st. Louis there was little or no
stock on hand, that being the heay-
lest point of manufacture and the
largest market.

Ladies' Year.

1854 dswns rich with prospects Of
conquests. The natural timidity which
% chsractsrizas many s-~~ yuung
men has deferred them from popping
the all important question, and as a
consequence there are fewer home fire
sides, and more msidens willing to
share some ones joys and troubles than
there should be. But the advent OF
leap year removes certain obstacles
and the timid young men will wait
with that restlessness born OF hope for
the coming Of the courageous msiiens,
who will offer to them the impulsive
love Of 90 unconquered heart and break
the ranks of bschelorhood. Or words
to that effect. CUPID has marked out
an extensive campaign for the year, and
- the leaves tall in autumn, so we may
expect that our sta,d bschsIors will one
BY one accept the offers made by win
some msidens, and enter the realms OF
