Casey on account Of his presence ID
she community as leader, and pro
ceedod 10 tue place and quietly laid
down his fences and opened the road
again. This seemed necessary
from the fact there was no road over
seer on the road. Capt Casey even
took the precaution TO send delega-
ton to Waters house Id order to
have him present and have the road
opened amicably. He not being at
home, the fences across the road
were opened any way and all quietly
returned to their homes. As to the
shooting reported to have occurred,
the Capt. says that was afterwards
done By Waters himself. Capt. Ca
sey Furthermore stated that this Mr..
Waters, who was looked upon as a
hard character, had been instrument
al in string up strife and animosity
in the community for the last four
years which he had been in the
ueigbhsihcsd and that in conse-
quence, he was most always in court
ID some trouble or other. At Capt.
Casey's request We give him this
much space to set himself right and
defend his good name.

in favor of peace, law and order.

An Old Poem.
BY JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.

s.Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long"
IT'S not with me exactly so,
But It's so In the song.
My wants are many, and If told,
Would muster many score;
And were each wish mint of gold.
! still should long for more.
What first want is daily bread
And canvas6acks and wine
Aud all the realms of nature spread
Before me when dine.
Four courses scarcely can pre- vide
My appetite to qGell,
With four choice cooks from France
beside
70 dress my dinner we'll.
What next want, at princely cost,
Ia elegant attire;
Black sable furs for winters frost,
And silks for summers fire.
And Cashmere shawls, and Brussels lace
Ny bosom front to deck
And diamond rings my hands to grace,
And rnbies for nv neck.
want (who does not VANITY wife,
Affcctionate and fair;
To solace all the woes of life,
And all its joys to share.
Of temper sweet, Of yieldiRg will,
Of firm yet placid mind
With all my faults to love me still,
With sentiments refined.
And as wmc's incessant runs,
And fortune fills my store.
| want Of daughters anu of sons
From eight to half q score.
want, alas can mortal care
Such bliss on on earth to crave?-
That all the girls De chaste and fair,
The boys all wise and brave.
want warm and faithful friend,
To cheer tho adverse hour;
Who ne'er to fiatter will descend,
Nor bend the knee to power
A friend to chide me when I'm wrong.
My Utmost soul to see.
And that my friendship proves as strong
For him as his for me.
l want the seals of power and peace
The ensigns Of command
Charged by the peoples unbourht grace
To rule my native land.
Nor crown nor sccptre would ask,
But, from my country's will,
BY day, by night, to ply the task
Her cup of bliss TO II IL.
want the voice Of honest praise
To follow me behind,
And to be thought In future days
The friend OF human kind.
That after ages, as they rise,
Exuiting may proclaim
In choral union TO the skies
Their blessings on my name.
These are the wants Of mortal man
cannot want them long,
For life itself Is but Il span,
And earthly bliss song;
NY last great Misunderstanding ALL
Is when, beneath the sod,
And summoned to my final call,
The Mercy OF my God.

gave me no little trouble. In the
first place the two C's got along very
we'll untllw we reached the big swamps
below Little Rock, and they being
ditchers by trade, saw big oppor
tunity for plying their trade, SO they
pulled the bell cord vigorously and
brought the train to stand still.
The conductor rushed IN and asked
what was the matter. The ditchers
acknowledged the corn and asked
him if he thought they could get a
job. The conductor gave taem such
look that they sank into their seats
sand never smiled again" Mr.. H
was very noisy while enroute. He
explained "the aims, objects and
principles" of the agricultural wheel
to every passenger on board, and
when he reached the Georgia line he
jumped of the train betw cen stations
and SAID he'd 60 through the near
way and organize few wheels. /
never saw him more. Report says
he organized AZ lodges, and so great
was the joy thereat he spurned the
slow and tedious mode OF railway
travel and walked home through the
