chased 179 dozen eggs from one lady
in this county since the first of January

S. w. Shockley captured a real
horned frog, OF the Texas species, on
the public square one day this week.
Whence the batrachian beast came or
where he was going remains mystery,
and to all appearances he must have
embarked in haste. perhaps taken up
by the wind and rained down, or per-
haps has lineal connection with the
tabled frog of the Oriental well. No
papers of immigration or identity were
found on his person. SO now he reposes
peacefully in the state of preservation.
DR.. Linton called on us this week
with some as fine specimens of garden
tuck as we have seen. The Doctor
Is an excellent gardener. though he
has passed the 4-score years and seven
on the new he is still wide awake to
the personal and public interests of
his country. Only last year he made
| tour of Texas, and has this timely
| suggestion to make to all who would
/ profit by his western experience, that
those who have homes in Mississippi
had better remain here. for out West
the water is bad, drouth and famine
are frequent, and there is an i'll wind
that blows nobody good.
