A bill has been introduced in the legislature providing for a Lieu tenant Governor. It should pass. It seems from the election re turn* that we are drifting, soul nnd body, into the republican cnmpß.

An editor who died of starvation after making Dr. Tauner’ashamed of himself, was being escorted to heaven by an angel who had been sent out Ur that purpose. “Mav 1 look at the other place bef*ra we ascend to eternal hsppi fces r “Easily,” said the angel, ®o they went below and a' irroish ed around, taking iu (he eights.— The angel lost I rack of the editor, and went aronnd Hade* to hunt him. Ho found him sitting by a furnace fanning hiiuaelf and gating with rapture u|>n a lot of people in the fire. There wa J a Fign on the for* nace which aaid: “Delinquent sub acribert." “Come,” said the angel, “we mat t be going.” “You go on,” said the editor* W’m not aoniing. Thit is heaven enough for me.'

Wilburn Williams plantation, was made very drunk last Monday night by a yonng white man. Lee srv< the fi.llew threatened to shoot him if lie did not drink a pint of whiskoy. After drinking the whis key Lee went to Larkin, purchased some goods and,remained there nn- 7 o’eiok. When he departed he told Mr. Hardman that he was going lo see a negro by the name of lJordon. By this time Lee was in a weaving way. 110 stopped at Mi. Isaac David’s house to inquire of him the way to Gordon's. All the family had retired except Mr. Da vid who was preparing to retire in a very rapid manner. Mr. David decided that Lee was bent on mis chief and being of a vary nervous disposition be told his wife and I daughters prepare for flight as he intended to make a „break for tall timber, andjnftcr they had donitfd their clothes, he told them to folloiV him and started off at a 2:40 gait, with his>shirt collar flapping in the breeze,’ bareheaded, hair sticking out like porenpino quills, one shoe i off. He fled in this manner until they renebed the home of Mr, Jesse Adams and told hint tbo horrible news. Mr. Adams became very mjnoh frightened and told him that his I rifle was out of fix, lie told him to go and get Mes rs Yarbrough & Kid ley to go with him, so he went and ar used them and they went back with him. After searching for some time they decided Lee kad departed for some other region. When the boys heard ol it the next day they did not let Mr. David see much peace. We learn that Mr. David has selec ted a low place in the woods where the wild birds sing their notes so gsy, to which ho retires daily and cruelly kicks himself and wondors what made him act like a dad-blas ted fool that night.
