Bohemian's Budget, Ckcii., February .1t.—St, Valen tine! what memories cluster around the day! Yes, 1 was once young, and drew valentine lots and sent my sweetheart the best verse in my shop. We drew the names out and then prepared the plaited and carved sheet of paper and wrote thereon some words with the svrup dripping off them and enclosed the same to Julia, or Fannie, or Polly, as the lot fell, and sent through the hands of some trusty gobetween, under many pledges of secrecy, which of course, were given with the knowledge they were not expected to be fulfilled. And then came the answer fixed, and written, and sent in the same style. But occasionally came city. All seemed to come with one intent, that of having a good time.- Amidst the chatter of voices came a sound of silence, when old and young filed forward to participate in the Shadow Party. Tis then we see the gray-haired sire come forward, lean ing on his arm the blushing valen tine, At the refreshment tables they were seated, where the most delicate appetite was satisfied. Last, but not least of the enjoyments was the Donkey Party, introduced by our genial townsman, Mr. E. II. Tift, who always anticipates the wants of our people, especially in the way of fun. The contest was a lively one. The cake after much contention was awarded Mr. Malone, of Silicon. As the hour of twelve drew near, all dispersed, feeling that each vied with the other in making it. a most pleas ant occasion. One who was tiikuk.

Gunn intends planting long cotton between the oat drills, from which he will, sea sons favoring, gather one or one and a half bales of the fleecy staple.
