A PLACE WHERE WORK IS PLENTY. Oakland, Yalabiishu county. Miss..) November 18, 1877.) Post Master:

DEAR SIR:—I noticed there have been several families that ieft your state and town for the purpose of "finding homes and employment in this state, and have concluded to write to you, (knowing no other person to whom to write) in regard to families emigrating to this state.

We need emigrants badly, those who have capital and those who need employ meat and are ready and willing to work. We want men with families to come among us, and we will give them employment and welcome them to our state, in fact the right kird ot men of all classes will be treated kindly and will always be welcomed. We want good, sober, reliable farm hands to cultivate our idle lands. They can work on the share sys tem, the owner of the land furnishing land, teams, tools and feed for teams, and the tenant giving one-half that he makes, but boards himself and family. When required the tenant can have provision? and clothing advanced, and pay for them at the end of the year out of his crop. We have good lands, good water, a healthy and quiet country, and will feel proud to welconie the right kind of emigration. Can you giv„ me the names of those wanting homes, so I can correspond with them, or notify them to write to me in regard to obtaining homes? I want, tor next year, ten or twelve good field hands on the shares, and many mere are needed in this country.

The winters here are sh'ort and mild. House rent and fire wood are no items in this country.

You will pi ase comply and I will cheerfully answer any and all inquiries in regard to homes, cheap lands, employment, &c. We need emigrants and laborers, and here is the place for poor laboring white men. Please comply and oblige

Youi* sincerely. M. H. JUNKS.

Address:—M. H.Jones, Oakland, Yalabushu county, Miss. P. S.—I will mention that I am a member of Oakland Lodge No. 97 I. O. O F., and will be glad to correspond with mem bers of ihe order that are wanting homes.

ALLEN B. BRISCOE.v

The GAZETTE had considerable to cay of Mr. Briscoe during his canvass for reelection as clerk of Clark county. Illinois, last fall, that it can not refram from ad ding a word now that he has laid down his office, and retired to private l.fe as a quiet citizen ot our ighboring town of Marshall. He has completed his sixth ter.u of four years as county clerk, havserved the people in that capacity continuously for twenty four years. Many stories-were circulated by his enemies, during the canvass, to his discredit. All of them however were of such a nature that, to any one informed as to the method in which oublic business is transacted they carr ed with them their own reputation. It is a source of gratification to his frierwis to know that he will be Vindicated of all those charges, by the utter inability of his party enemies, now in control cf the office he filled so long, to substantiate a single one of their assertions from the records in their possession. It will appear on investigation that he served the people faithfully during all the time he was in office and that when he laid down his pen, it was with clean hands, on which no stain remained. It is gratifying to observe from our exchanges that the Democrats of the state at large appreci ate the sterling stuff there is in the man, and that they propose to put him on the general ticket as a candidate for auditor ot state. He would fill the place admirably. It is safe to say, also, that after one term without him the people of Clark county would be only too glad to put him back in the clerk's office, if he could be induced to take the race. *4# «i "fF

HONEY CREEK ITEMS. On Monday evening, W. P. Hickman in returing to his residence from singing school, was thrown on the ground by the upsetting of the buggy and a rib broken. He was rendered insensible lor a few minutes, but was soon taken up and cared for, and is now t(ble to about. The wheel of the buggy caught In a plank which ha«t fallen from the fence, and stuck in the mud. Freezing there one end protruded, and the wheel catching in the projecting end, the buggy was tipped over. But for the gentleman's off hor»e, which stopped still, Mr. Hickman must nearly have betn killed as the buggy was lying on the top of him when he was re»cued. It was a very unfortunate escape.

A protracted meeting began last night at Farmer's chapel, a United Brethern church, 6ix miles and a half south of the city on the Sullivan road. It will last until after the holidays. Considerable interest is being taken in the meetings. Rev. Slusser, pastor of the church is conducting the services, assested bv Rev. Alexander Moore who lives near the church but has a circuit in Illinois, and by Rev. John Glenn, who goes to Africa as a missionsry next spring.

A juvenile debating club has been started at Farmer chapel house, south ot the city come six miles and a half. The nieghborbood until lately has been known as Hard-Scrabble. The club meets every Saturday night and very considerable interest *16 being taken in it.

Several weddings will occur in Honey creek township about holiday times.

THAT splendid edifice to be known as the Baptist church, located on the corner ot Sixth and Cherry streets, is nearing competition and reflects great credit upon the energy of its pastor, the Rev. Henderson, as well as being an additional attraction to the city. The church when finished will have but few equals, as a place of worship in the state.

THE U. B. church, on the corner of Fourteenth anxt Chestnut streets, has just recieved a new. roof and sundry other repairs. The congregation have also opened their purse* and erected a very neat and substantial parsonage which is about completed.

LAST Saturday a party of hunters killed a very large black.snake measuring over four feet in length, while crossing a swamp a few miles north of here. Snakes in December are seldom Seen in this latitude.

tv

THE gravel pit belonging to the county has been found It is over the river, on. the north side of the grade. An cotrustee of Sugar Creek township has the deed which has never been recorded.

The boys here give it as their experience that one regular caller has abreath so strong that its owner cnuld lcrwer a Saratoga trunk on it from the fourth storv of the National hou-e to the ground, and another diabolical villain has a breath th£t smells as if he was carrying a boquet of choice skunks all in full, active blossom, it is so fragrant.

But there is some relief for them. There is one young lady that repays them for every visit. Such fragrance as she exhales, makes all hands there think Heinl's greenhouse has suddenly been located inside the box line. So sweet is the perfume Thev worship her. It js a grand place toi-tudy and to smell.

THE Normal school board will probably not meet again for some time, there being no very important business to do. Arrangements are all completed for improving the Normal grounds very nicriy. The fence that is being put up is the best that can be put up for tje appropriation made. Judge Scott says it will be painted blue in honor of ol|i Blue Jeans Williams,, under whose administration the appropriation was gotten through. The Judge is understood however, to be joking about this and the fence will be painted, in all probability a neat stone color.

It will really be an attractive fence after all that *ha9 been said about it's extreme ugliness by people who always criticise a thing before it is done. Neat pavements will be laid from the two corners of the lot on Sixth street which will form a graceful curve at the steps. The enclosure will be fenced in with a neat white fence. The lot will then be graded, socded, planted with trees, and in reality ornamented with a foundation as it has long been in the engravings. The improvements will be very great and the grounds will become attractive instead ot the eye sore they have always been heretofore.

MASONIC ELECTION.

RILEY LODGE NO 390, LOCKPORT. An election was held by Rilev Masonic L-odge, at Lockport, on Saturday night. The following officers were elected:

J. M. Sankey, W. M. W. R. Ray, S. W. Simon P. Swartz,J. W. George Reed, Treasurer W. P. Foulke, Secretary John Harkners, S. D. George J. Smith, J. D. Daniel Reece, Steward W. S Harper, Tyler*

POSTOFFICE BREATHINGS

r|Certainly

one of the best places in the

world to study the human system as illustrated by the breath is at the general delivery window of a posl office. There sits the poor clerk, with a small hole in front of him. Suddenly in- pop* a face and a low whisper is heard (why is it

everybody thinks they must whisper their names at a postofnee?) Of coiin-e, the

clerk cant htar the name and is obliged to hold do^rn his head close, when in comes a cloud of rank perfume of onions and sour beans mingled wi'hMiss Nancy Smith, I say. After a gasp, the clerk is assailed with another powerful breath of whisky, to strong that one drink of it will make a man go and rob his own trunk, and a whisper calls for "Anything for Mike Musty?"

Next, a cloud of double distilled extract of rotten tooth floats »n asking for "Any thing for me, to-dav?" "What name?" a$ks the clerk, feeling faint. "Why, its Elias Bodkin, don't you know me?" belches in a regular typhoon of extract of rotten egg*.

The clerk leans back and after a short gasp turns again to the opening and finds a very sweet nerfume float ng in from between

vthe

ruby lips of a fair maid.

Instantly he discovers how deaf he is and asks her name two or three times, inquires if it is her father 'the famous wholesale dealer on Main street," &c.

All this he does in order to get a few more exhalations of her fragrant breath to strengthen him up tor the next possible deadly attack. Suddenly he looks around almost vith a spring, and imagines a healthv pole cat is crawling in the opening, but it isn't It is only a 'bad breath' asking for 'a letter for Uriah Heep.' He just manages to sav '110,' and falls.

The heavy man of the force then carries him oft to get strengthened, and (mother victim is set up in his place, ready to he puis ned. Talk of dangerous work, why no rr.an was ever known to be able to fili the position of delivery clerk for more than four mouths! It always kills them thev turn green, swell up and that is the final end of that victim. No wonder they have to be paid $40.00 per day and medical attendance furnished It kills eight men in trying »o get one that can stand it. The records of the post office department in Washington show that there was one man in Penn sylvania held the cffice for lourteen years, but he lived on garlic, Spanish peppers, chewed tobacco all the time, and only drank corn whiskey fresh from the still. But hejwas finally killed, lbi one day an old soak, who had eaten nothing but limburger cheese, sourkraut and pork for over twenty vears, put his mouth in and gave two full breaths,—it was too much, it laid out the old veteran

As his honor entered his judicial at¥mt this morning inside that sacred railing, where in so many mighty tussles are fought with justice and where this Mindfolded goddess so often gets decuicdlv the worst of the mil', and as he ascended to that platform from which jutice is so impartially disposed, his eve was gladdened with the sight of a full house, and he knew that again after lb. rdavs of silence the hall would echo to the sound of 'not guilty-yer oner' and the silver bill would be passed on the motion to the amount of $7.20.

But as he gazed, his eyes moi tened with sadness to see such reckless importunates, who, perhaps, had never done a wrong, whose only crime had been in indulging in a gla.»s grog 10 steady their nerves the hard work of trying to believe "this is the wintef of our discontent," just because the almanac says so, when the air, the little birdf, the mud, the river, the hens, the grass, all, all unite in evidence against such an idea, and these are autre and nature is the God. Some men of ir.feiior mind when they hear a man quietly say "this 19 winter," either be.ieve the man is drunk 01 else that they are themselves. And a« mayor thought all these things the smile passed away and a thought of mercy entered his bosom. •Charley Blie cease to crv, and permit me to ask why was you drunk why found in the path of the erring, as our valliant officer Overpeck has most terribly sworn. 'Faith', said Charles, 'why he told me it was a gutter and 1' $8.20 and pull down your vest. 'Gotlieb Stein my u» fortunate friend from Pataiionia,'here officer Houseman energetically whispered to the mayor, who suddenly saiJ, 'I mean New Jersey' to the horror of Houseman who felt disgusted to see so fine a German name thus sacrificed.' 'Gotlieb the shades of night wtre falling fast, and you were drunk and falling fast, at every gas lamp post you passed, up came bold Houseman here at last.'

A cold sweat seized ujroh Gotlieb. That poetry was too severe for him, although the mayor was perfectly unaware of the torture he was inflicting. 'Make it ten years at hard labor and spare me,' said Gotlieb. This was to much for His Honor. ^S^o', said he with adamantine brow. 'Jerry Thompson, oh you nasty dirty thing, associating by the evidence of the worthy bearer of the truncheon, officer C8ry. Down on you knees hold upboth hands and pray for mercy knd pay to me a fine of $7 45, good and lawful money, or languish ten days in the city bastile, and His Honor fanned, so indignant was he.

*£ETLJFG AT TJJR COURT HOUSE MONDAY NIGHT. Pursuant to a call issued several days ago for a meeting ot persons who favored the remonetizatlon of* silver, the court houfe was well filled last evening.

Col. G. Cookerlv wt chosen chairman and addressed the meeting. Deputy Wallace,'ofthe county treasuler's office, was cho%en secretary.

Speeches were made by Mr. Mack and Judge Crain. The following Report from the com mittee on resolutions was then read:

After the adoption of the resolu John E. Woodard, of Parke cou loud lunged gentleman who annoi as he introduced himself that hew proud possessor of the gift of gab. the following resolutions:

Whereas, The act to strergthejthe finance credit ot the government, sact to resume specie pay mention the of January, 1S79, and the act ofp73. taking away the value of or detnonping silver, is a fraud and onlyanothejaoie lor robbery, and should be classefvith the salary grab therefore be it

tlie resumption act restore silvejko its farmer value, and pay the debtif the country as per original contract.

Resolved, That the creator is o^v« the creature, and that congress has to: same right to repudiate the interest on her national bank and ereenback notes a* on any other class of government bonds. Tnird, that the vtto power in arbitrary hand*is adangerou«po#er,andthepresident of the United States has no right to exercise that power as against the will of the people expressed through 1 majority of their representatives in congres, unless the law enacted may conflict With the ioi8iitution.

A wrangle ensued and the resolutions were finally not adopted, though why not does not appear, since they do not get any further awav from the object ol the meeting than the resolutions reporter by the committee and adopted without division.

Then B. F. Havens introduced resolutions as follows: Resolved, That we are in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of the old silver dollar of 412)^ grains, standard value.

Resolved. That we will resist the consummation of this wrong (confraction) by all honorable means within our power. We call upon both houses of congress to insist upon the repeal of the demonetizing act, and the restoration of the silver dollar to its rightful place in our currency, and if the president shall, by the use of his negative, succeed in defeating the bill, then we call on congress to append a similar repealing clause to the general appropriation bill, and stand by it to the last, with full confidence that the p'ople will assuredly stand by them.

He spoke quite a while on them, and then I. H. C. Rovse offered an amend ment and Judge Crain proposed a substitute, and the meeting got noisy, and everything got mixed up and the meeting adjourned, having done the caule of silver remonetizatlon more harm than good. Men of all shades of opinion on the financial question were present, agreeing, however, in the one simple proposition that the silver dollar tboula be restored to a place in the coinage of the country, as it was previous to the act of Feb. 12th 1873, which provided that it should no longer be minted.

If any one thing cart mdre" fully illustrate the folly of men than another, it is to see a crowd which has got as big a job as it can handle, go out of its way fooling around with and championing other things. It makes no tort of difference whithpr those other things.
