_ * . The Great St, Lota Casa
It never rains bat it pours. Tbe last wash*
ingtoh tragedy was only the precedent for a
large assortment of Siokles-eases; and the late
St. Louis hundred thousand dollar breach of
promise case bids fair to krock the old bachelors
and heartless widowers right and left like a pile
of shingles under the persuasive influence of a
thunderbolt just out of training. A most af
fecting instance of what man’s perfidy is capa
ble of-effecting, and of the honeyed way he
goes to work to prove himself a perfect wretch,
is beautifully shown in the following from
the Richmond Enquirer:
'Yesterday a blooming feminine, of considerable
Rammers, applied to one of oar city lawyers to cue an
other bright ‘loTT^r 5 in her behalf in order to gain
damages Trdm him for her damaged affections! The
main evidence of the.de voted swain’s attachment was
expressed in the following billet dovx that accompa
nied a hoguet of flowers -
*Deer I send a hi the boy a buckett of floats.
They is like my love for a.. The nite shaid mones
keep dark. The dog fenil menes iam nr© slaive.—
Rosis red and posts - pail.—Milov for u shall never

There’s depravity for you! Any man who
could refuse marriage after sending a lady a
“bucket" with reference to' “pail” posies, cer
tainly deserves to lose his every copper, if not
to be made to both kick the bucket and turn
pale. The creature! However, there is
such a thing as doing mischief even with jus
tice. We are sorry to say eo—very sorry—but
we fear that the St. Louis _ verdict will cause
trouble, and every additional case will be a new
fire brick in the oven of female misery. For
when the old rich widowers and bachelors find
how dangerous it is to encounter the fair Mrs.
Bardells of society, they will keep out of the
way of the virtuous and pass their evenings in
circles where the idea of contracting a marriage
would be preposterous, and a changement de
main ridiculous. As for sending boquets or
making other presents, the idea is absurd.—
Why a ring, especially if it should be accom
panied by any badinage, would be a “ringing
into” and a self-committing even unto the half
of one’s fortune. Sugar plums would cost a
“plum” indeed, and fruit would result in one’s
being pared and peeled most terribly. On the
whole we are afraid that the SL Loais case will
do more harm than good.

lowing story, trustworthy;
“Mr. Jones left Cherry Creek on his return
journey about four weeks since. He was not
able to realize a farthing for all of his expen
diture of time and money and his long contin
ued exposure and fatigue. Many of the emi
grants had previous to his departure, suffered
! extremely, and there were increasing manifes
tations of desperation among them. About
500 of the most reckless had organized them
selves into a company of “Lynchers,” and there
-was a sworn purpose among them to visit sum
mary vengeance upon all persons who had been
instrumental in circulating false reports of the
existence of gold at Cherry Creek. Mason
Clark, formerly of St. Charles, Floyd County,
lowa, was suspected and convicted of having
been one of the fraudulent letter-writers, and
he was put to death in a most horrible manner.
Four mules were hitched to the extremities of
his limbs, made to draw in different directions,
and ha was literally tom to pieces ; Ezra Allen,
formerly of Chickasaw County, and two other
persons, whose names our informant could not

The Prospects in.Egypt.— We learn from a
gentleman who has just arrived here from
Union county, that the wheat harvest has al
ready begun in Egypt. In Union county on
Monday, the. 6th, tho early wheat was being
harvested, and the yield was better than ever
known before in that part of tho State. In the
extreme southern part of Illinois the same
abundant harvest, was being gathered in. In
Alexander, Johnson, Pope, Pulaski, Gallatin,
Williamson,'Franklin, Jackson, Hardin, Union,
Wayne and Randolph counties the wheat is re
ported as good as ever known in the State.
The prospects of a good crop of corn are re
ported os very favorable. The growing corn in
many places is said to be from three to four
feet high, and looks “black and healthy.” If
nothing happens to the crop it will be an ex
cellent one and fully entitle the modern Egypt
to the designation of the “Land of Com.”
The peaches are in great abundance in all
Southern Illinois. They are now about the
size of hen’s eggs, and the trees are loaded with
them. Apples, pears, and other kind of fruit,
usually grown in those parts, are said to prom
ise a wonderful yield.— lll. Stale Register.
A Negro Scared to Death bt as Elephant.
—The Ouchita (La.) Herald relates the follow
ing and calls it a case of “elephanticide
“A negro man belonging to Dr. Sanders, of
Holly Springs, Dallas county, we understand,
was frightened to death by one of Mabie’s ele
phants, week before last. The circumstances,
as we learned, them, were these; After the
performance of the company at Holly Springs
the elephants were removed a short distance to
await the time of starting to the next place of
exhibition ; the negro, not knowing they were
there, was passing near by, when one of them
passed his trunk around the body of the boy,
drawing him gently towards bis elepbantship.
Tho negro seeing tho colossal proportions of
the animal, which tho darkness of the night no
doubt greatly magnified, made a herculean
effort, and succeeded in escaping from the dis
agreeable embrace; ho ran a short distance
and foil to the ground, arousing the whole
neighborhood with his cries; being nnable to
rise he. was taken up and carried to the honse,
where he soon after died, the doctor says, from
no other cause than fright.”

Local Newspapers.
We wish in the present article to correct some
mistaken ideas which some people seem to en
tertain as to the value of local newspapers, and
though we may not he able to reach those who
would be moat benefited by its perusal, still it
is hoped that those who do know and appreciate
the value of the country press,.will hand it to
those who do not. We ask our friends—the
friends of tho Agitator and the principles taught
in its columns to agitate the subject among
their friends and neighbors, and to try to awa
ken a livlicr interest in the matter than would
seem to esist at present.
In the first place, then, there is a class in ev
ery community who regard the money paid by
them to support a local political paper, as a kind
of political party tax—a kind of gratuity given
to the printer—a kind of a necessary contribu
tion which proves the political orthodoxy of the
giver—without any pretension, expressed or im
plied, that the paper itself is an equivalent for
the money given. Such men as compose this
class complacently stroke their chins when they
pay their annual dollar, pocket their receipt for
subscription and speak kindly of themselves as
patrons. They take the paper because it would:
be almost barbarous to lire in a community
without a paper, but they never acknowledge,
if indeed they ever think, how much the local
newspaper has done to refine and elevate the
household at home; nor does a man of this
class ever think how much money it has saved
to him, by giving him local information which
no city paper can supply, or how much it con
tributes to make his children a blessing to him
and themselves.
There is another class who refuse to take the
county paper because a city paper is so much
cheaper, contains more news, and is larger.—
One paper, they urge is enough for us, and we
prefer the city one. Very well. "We think
every man should read a city paper if he can
afford the luxury, but we submit that a county
paper is a necessity, and ought to be taken and
paid-for first. If a man have goods or stock
or farm produce for sale, it is quite evident
that no one but his immediate neighbors can
know of it, unless he take advantage of the
county newspaper to let it be known. In the
absence of such paper, he will have to carry
his money out of the county to pay for adver
tising in newspapers which do not circulate
where he wants to sell, or to pay for printing
handbills or circulars. Tho money thus spent
circulates outside of the county and does the
advertiser but little good. Generally, however,
the men who compose this class content them
selves by writing in an illegible hand, a poorly
worded notice and sticking it upon some ob
scure school house door, where very few ever
see it and still fewer take the trouble to read it;
Of this class are those men, who, if questioned
why they don’t take the county paper, reply
that they are too poor; that it takes all the
money they can get to buy clothing for their
children ; that times are hard, &c. It is this
class of citizens who complain of poor schools
and school teachers, who talk of the rapacity of
the rich upon the poor —who say that lawyers
are all knaves, ministers all hypocrites, doctors
and editors all liars—who complain of the
world generally as not fit to live in—who ac
count for the success of their neighbors by
saying that “some folks have wonderful luck
never dreaming that success in any and every
business is acquired by intelligence and enter
prise. It is this class of persona we would
talk to in this article if we could. Our intelli
gent readers' must act as missionaries to them
and get them to take the county paper.
The real patrons of a county paper are those
who take 'it and pay for it, and consider it one
of the necessities of life as indeed it really is.
The larger the population of a county the more
valuable is the real estate in it. The knowl
edge of a county and its resources made known
through the local press induce emigration more
than any other instrumentality which may be
brought to bear in that direction. We have
known men in the far West to lay out a city,
build a hotel and start a newspaper in the sec
ond story of it as a nucleus around which a for
tune might grow. These men know that a lo
cal press is just as essential to prosperity as the
soil upon which we live, for the resources would
remain undeveloped but for this method of call*
ing attention to them. Every man, whether
his business is farming, manufacturing or mer
chandizing—every man who takes any interest
in the prosperity of the - county in which he
lives—every man who wishes to discharge his
(July to his fellow men as a good citizen, or to
his family as a good husband and father will
take the county paper.
The people of this county have accorded to
- the Agitator a liberal support. Our subscrip
tion list is steadily increasing, but in order to
; make it such a paper as we’could wish we re
. quire many more. There are at least four thou
. sand Republican voters in the county. Certain
i ly half of them ought to take their county pa-
per, but they do not. We shall commence a
■_ new volume in a few weeks, and wo trust that
; our friends will send us at least ten now sub
scribers from each township. You can do this
: if you will, and not labor much. What say
you?

Tho following note from Mr.-Groeley was writ
ten to a friend in this city, and ns it wilt no

been permitted to publish it:

bat not half way through my journey., I have
a lame leg, caused by an upset in the Express

will keep me here for the next week, but; I am

their grassy hill-sides, their ravines, and their

COMMUNICATIONS.
Mr. Editor ; If everybody has not heard by
this time what “Juliet” said about names and
roses, its not the fault of the people that write
for the papers. But telling a thing ten thou
sand times don’t make it true, and its my pri
vate opinion that there is something in names.
I am like the negro girl, who lamented that her
name was Zuby, and wished it had been Rosa
lilly or Blanchiflower. I dont know that I wish
to be called Napoleon or Alexander, but I do
wish my mother hadn’t named me—Jerubbaal
—“Nothin’ like Scripter names” my old Aunt
Keturah used to say. I agree with her. I
hope there is “nothin’ like era.” All my life
long that name has been a torment to mo. My
mother called me “Hubby” and my schoolmates
“Rub,” and for an agreeable change, “Rub-a
dub.” As I grew older I tried to change my
appellation to Jerry—but it was of no use. In
this place I shall bo to the day of my death,
(“if I live so long”—Jerubbaal Jenks. If I
ever should be the father of an interesting fam
ily, and its not likely, (for what girl in her sen
ses would become Mrs. Rub-a-dub Jenks. I
never will inflict names on my children that
they will be ashamed to own. I believe I won’t
name them at all; call them A. B. C., or I, 2,
3,4, till they can choose a name, and then they
won’t find fault with me if it don’t suit them.
If they call themselves Araminta, and Arethu
sa, or Fits Herbert, and Adalbert, (and by the’
way, next to “Scripter” names, I do abominate
“Alonzo and Melissa ones) it will be their af
fair, not mine. I dont want to be blamed by
my posterity. My mother was a good woman,
an industrious woman, she said she tried to do
her duty, and she "went and did it,” when she
named me Jerrubbaal.
I must tell you something about “our town.”
I am about to leave, so I may be allowed to
brag a little. We have a pleasant village, nest
led down among green hills, with pure air, and
water, and lovely scenery around. I don’t
know just the number of inhabitants, but few
or many we are a “great nation.” We support
four or five doctors, though the people usually
enjoy good bodily health. As to the health of
their souls I can’t say: We have three church
es, and three clergymen presiding over prom
inent orthodox denominations, and a sprink
ling of other beliefs ; including even the much
talked-of Spiritualists. These latter are few in
number, but so far as I have observed, they are
intelligent, thinking people, and ready to give
“a reason for the faith that is in them." I like
that in any one. No matter how much I may
differ from a man, J like to see him courageous,
and willing to “face the music.”
Then we are “in the fashion” here I can tell
you. Now York tells us just how we must
cut our clothes and our hair, 'how we must
wear our hats, and carry our canes, and make
our bows to the girls, (bless their pretty faces)
who have the same authority for the diminutive
bonnets, and the expansive crinoline that they
wear.
Speaking of girls—we have a few in our lit
tle place, but the most of the youthful feminines
are “young ladies.” You know there’s a dif
ference. The young ladies are, some of them,
very pretty and refined, accomplished and (this
in your private ear,) a little affected. But ode
of them is of no more use to a man that has
got his way to make in the world, than a china
doll would be. And a doll would dot require
carpets and mahogany, a large house, and a pi
ano, to say nothing ‘of silks, laces, feathers, &c.
I must be excused if I make rather an awk
ward business enumerating the ladies’ wants.
Nothing better can be expected of an old bach
elor. By means of pic-nics, dancing and sing
ing schools, I have made the acquaintance of
some of the country lasses here. And for rosy
cheeks, bright eyes and good health, they excel
the village ladies. -They are mote useful too,
capable and “handy,” as their mothers say;
but it must be confessed there is a little lack of
refinement and intellectual polish. And then
when I look at those same mothers: Good wo
men, kind women most of them, but—l want
my wife to think of something besides work
and making money.” I don’t want to be told
that it is wasting money to buy books and pa
pers, and wasting time to read them. X won
der if education and extravagance must always 1
go hand in hand 7
Well! I am “going hence.” And I shall
introduce myself as J. Jenks, and wo be to any
one who dares to direct letter or paper to Je
rubbaal. I’ll drop my horrible name and “set
np” without one. That name 1 I get out of
all patience with it. I lose my temper and my
spirits; feel to sober to dance, and its against
my principles to get “tight.” Oh dear! I be
lieve I’ll “leave this world of care, and go to
Potter County.” Wouldn’t you Mr. Editor 7

learn whether he was on board. One farmer
asked me a day or two since, if Horace Greeley
had failed in business, and was going to Pike's

to-day if it was true that Horace Greeley was
about to start a paper at Manhattan ! And at
one of the stations yesterday, an Indian girl
volunteered the information that ‘Horace Gree

An important decision was rendered in
Now York city, by Judge Culver, on Friday, ac
knowledging the invalidity of slave marriages.
B. N. Warwick, a colored M. E. preacher, was
formerly a slave in North Carolina, and was
married, in the method of the slaves, to Winnie,
also a slave, by whom he had twelve children.
In 1828 he was set free, came to Williamsburg
in 1831, and married another woman. His first
wife has since become free, and prosecuted him
for bigamy. The defence was that Warwick
had no expectation of her ever becoming free,
or he would have felt morally bound to her,
and that legally he was not. The Judge ruled
that slaves being chattels coaid not make con
tracts, and the first marriage was therefore a
nullity. As Judge Culver is opposed to slavery,
this decision is regarded as very important, be
cause based entirely on the local laws of the
Southern States.
An Irishman, in Danbury, Conn., un
dertook to shoot a cat the other.day, and as
the following account shows, shot a fool instead:
“First, he put in a charge of shot, which he
covered by ramming home a wad. Next, a
charge of powder. To make sure of his victim,
he wound up the loading with a small hand
ful of corn in the kernel. Thus prepared, he
brought the instrument of death to bear upon
the cat and snapped. To his great chagrin,
the gun was not discharged. He snapped, and
snapped, and snapped again; but it was no
use—the gun would not go; Irritated beyond
measure at his failure he drew the iron ramrod
from the gun, put the point in a fire until it
was red hot, inserted it at the muzzle, and
then wormed it down through the core until it
reached the powder, when whang! went the
charge down to the shot, sending the ramrod
through his hand between tbe thumb and fore
finger, burying the com in various parts of his
hand arid badly singeing .his face with the pow
der ! The cat survived, and the Irishman is
doing as well as could be expected.”
