Probably the irst prohibition peti.
ton issued in this country has been
discovered in the State archives of North
Carolina. On May 26, 1855, King Hag.
Ter of the Catawbas thus petitioned Chiet
Justice Henley: "I desire:a stop may
be put to the selling Of strong liquors
by the white people to my people, espe.
cially near the Indians. If the white
people make strong drink let them sell it
to one another or drink it in tleir own
families. This will avoid great deal OF
mischief which otherwise will happen
from my people getting drunk and
quarreling with the white people,. The
Chief Justice, IS appears from an en-.
dorsement, promised to bring the matter
TO the Governors notice.

A Farmer Gets His Dander Up.

To THE CITIZEN.
l noticed in your last weeks
mum Der a piece from Jenkins creek
written by great divine of said
creek. His main subject was the
alliance, and I would say il. be
can scatter them like he has the
gospel in the past twenty years, 1t
will take them all their time to keep
together. In the frst place be takes
aim at D. NJ. Ferry for refusing to
sell seed to an alliance house IN
Texas. We are not surprised at
that for D NJ Ferry is a business
man and does not furnish any but
responsible parties. He recon-
mends that be. and his brethren
have nothing to do with his seeds
Oh! what a christian-like spirit!
We would like to know how the
good brother prayes. Does he say,
Lord forgive me when do little
wrong and have nothing more to do
with me-" or does he say, ''Lord,
forgive as l forgive those WHO tress-
pass against me'2
The next shot he comes a little
nearer home and bangs away at the
merchants and warns them not to
get their bristles up, but the mer-
chants go bravely on and treat
them with silent tempt and me-
thinks | can hear their prayers as
cending saying, Lord. forgive the N
they know not what they do" They
remind me of the two farmers that
fell out about a cow aud employed
a lawyer to decide the matter tol
them. In the suit one is holding
on to the horns, TIE other the tai
and the lawyer sits quietly by milk
ing. After a while the suit is de
cided and ore gets the horns, thu
other the tail and the lawyer til,
icow.
| Now, my good brother, you ma,
shoot as much as you please, bu
remember the merchants are quiet
ly milking and after a while the al
, lance will get the horns and yol
the tail and our old reliable mer
| chants will continue To sell tn
goods and d. Nj. Ferry will furuisl
them all the seed they may want
, for he knows they are reliable
