The appeal is to you, dear reader ; will you give a mite to th ; s cause? Many of our citizens have already generously given the email sum asked —25 cts, aud we feel sure few will refuse to give this small sum. The list will be found at Col. It. II Bush's office, where any one who wishes may depos it any amou.it they fsd willing to mike an offering to this mblc cause. £tT The attention of the Town Commissioners is most and exceedingly respectfully called to the bad condition of the public well near the railroad. Prom some cause the water in this well has become stagnant, and cannot be used for any purpose.— The town treasury w*as run to put a pump in the well (the second, we believe that has been put into it in very little over a years time.) and we suppose it is somebody’s duty to give it sufficient atten tion to keep it in order—and that somebody is surely those who have accepted the trust of looking after the interests of the town. We hope our town fathers will have this matter attended to at once, and thereby deserve the grateful thanks of their little commonwealth. irzT The dog-killing season is now upon us in full sweep, our town marshal—armed with a double death dealing machine, of the best “Lon don Twist” patten? and manufacture, walks brave ly up and down in seorch all the little snarling, snapping, dirty pets inside the 1 ‘dead line, and woe betide the diminutive barking nuisance that comes under his eagle-eye minus the collar insigna of the “freedom of the city” for one more year. Many of these pets have taken their last looi at earth, and have gone to that pine thicket “from whence no dog returns.” So far, well; and if wo had the authority, we would arm our marshal “cap-4-pie or in any other modem appored style, and widen the lines of his jurisdiction on every side to where old ocean’s tide kisses the shore. But we, most humbly suggest that when “the dog is dead, and his hoarse bark and vagabond rambling have forev er ceased to annoy, that all enmity cease against the beast, and that he be accorded a burial that he may peacefully sleep on—undisturbed and un disturbing. Philosophically speaking, the efluvia arising from the putrifying carcasses of defunct quadrupeds is extremely oppressive to the delicate olfactories of the good and gentle pedestrians as they perambulate the beautiful ways of our bor ough, with sweet maidens hanging so lovingly upon their arms, in the evening tide when the soft zeph yrs fan the manly brow and kiss the maiden s fair cheek. Such an incompatible combination of things often act inflammably upon some tempers, and cause them to think cuss words. “Hear me for my cause,” etc. Cruelty. —A few days since Eliza Culpepper, (cob), an old woman, and wife of Dock Culpepper, living at Mr. Walker’s, a few miles from this place, suddenly “shuffled of her mortal coil,” and was duly consigned to her last resting place—planted. Peculiar circumstances, and known brutal teat ment, caused the neighbors to believe that her husband was instrumental in too suddenly snapping the brittle thread of life, possibly to be freed from the golden matrimony that held him with too strong a grasp, and accordingly the services of the Grand High Coroner of the county were in voked to investigate the matter. Therefore, a ju ry was summoned, the body of said lamented de ceased exhumed, and aroud it sat the jury in sol emn inquest. Several witnesses were examined, and sufficient testimony elicited to prove that old Dock had used great cruelty towards his wife, but not sufficient in the opinion of the jury to produce death. It was also proved that Dock had been play ing the role of M. D., and physicing his wife with poisonous decoctions of stramonium and poke root, and very probably other medicines “purely vege table.” The examination ended, and the jury re turned a verdict in accordance with the above facts, and the not inconsolable husband left to go and choose some other dusky damsel to walk by his side through the devious paths of life until he be comes tired of her company, when he will doubt less apply his scientific knowledge and send her to join that other cherub that has just taken her de parture for the “happy land of Canaan.” We learn that there aro several old negroes in this county who claim to bo “doctun in sa'eu&n mcdicina?, 1 ' and if their practice should prevail, they will no doubt send the ethereal organizations of many of their dark bretheren across the dread ed river Styx.
