Harp, n, A mnsical instrument, not
so much adapted to please the ear as to

for displaying a fine arm. Consequent¬
ly, when short sleeves went out the

ful arm what croquet does for a well
turned ankle.
tt Hash, u «. An a amateur p«rformanoe|
•litferary, theatrical and musical.
Hat, a. A poition of male attire.-—
Originally it was graceful and becoming^
at prfesetlt it is only becoming more
hideous'every day. It Is supposed to
shade the wearer from the sun and pro

neither, the* supposition is perfectly
gratuitous, though the hat itself io gen¬
erally quite the contrary, being high in
priee, however low in' the crown
Head, n. A portion of the human bo¬
dy, intended by nature to produce baif

young lady, considerately instituted by
Nature for the benefit of gentlemen (not
unfrequently Irish) endowed with liber¬
al tastes, but possessing only restricted
means of gratifying them.
Heraldry, n. A so-called art; the on
ly art about it, however, being the art.
displaoed by its professors in gaining
money by the preservation of a larg

once hackuey-coachmen hung over our shops to guide

tion by the noise he makes about some
one else.
Hieroglyphics, n.pl. Mysterious char¬
acters tian employed for by the ancient Egyp¬

have been worth atleaattwo millions of

Wherever gold workings have been
carried on in Hall county, they have
been foundj-and picked up merely as

sold for a trifle. From the geology of
the country, and theaccompanying min¬

can be no doubt but a well directed sys¬
tem of workings by experienced hands,
would develop a rich diamond district.
In Brazil, thousands of hands equally
ignorant, but with less curiosity, wash¬

threw away untold millions. This may
be the case here. All that is necessa

TRANSPLANTING IN AUTUMN.
The question is often asked : what is
the best time in Autumn to set out trees?
Can W6 <Jo it white the leaves are / yet
i... green or wa t till .... near winter, . after
they have fallen? The answe may be.
do it whenever the work dan be done,
and while the soil is in proper condition
as to dryness for working properly. If
done early, the leave, meat be alf care
fully strippod off, to prevent the rapid
evaporation of moisture. We have
known trees to have been entirely spoil
ed in a few hours by wilting from csre
in not removing the leaves when
taken up. In the Northern States, nur¬
serymen usually commence digging by
the first of October. Some trees have
entirely i, ceiwed .? growing by thie time, ’
including . j. generally cherries, , . plums, , and
pears. If the leaves are remov
they may now be taken up and trans
planted, as well a 3 at any time in Au

A Bloody Wedding.— We learn that
while a party was assembled at the resi¬
dence uf Mr. Hargreave, in Reed’s prai¬
rie, Grimes county, Thursday night, to
attend the marriage of Mr. H.’s daugh¬
ter, and a few minutes after the cere¬
mony had been performed, a company
of soldiers, in pursuit of some one sup
posed td be fliere, surrounded the house
and demanded its surrender. Mr. Har
greave offered to surrender the house
aud every one in it, and went out to the
captain of the squad. The re port tp us
is, that while Mr. H. was bu t% H pistol

in “ Watching United the progress of polities
the States, one is often forced
into considering what is tlio use kf the
ballot. Look at the history of Texas
tor the [vast two months There the
Democrats aud Republicans are fighting
for the Governorship. The people pro
a Democrat majority, but the (iov
