PARTICIPATION – See new advertisement. Enquire of R. Simpson.
THE LINES furnished us on “The Secession Snake” won’t do to publish. The sentiment is good, but there is neither rhyme nor rhythm to the poetry.
GODEY’S LADY’S BOOK, for March, is already on our table. It contains the usual fine steel plate engraving, double fashion plate, illustrations, tales, essays, etc.
AN IMMENSE stock of French Dry Goods, to which almost daily additions are made, can be found at Wadsworth’s. He offers as good terms, either at wholesale or retail, as any house in this section of the country. Call and examine it.
FROM KANSAS. – An interesting letter will be found on this page to-day from our Kansas correspondent. He is an observing man, a good writer and placed in a position where he can obtain all the facts that will transpire in the great expedition from Kansas southward.
[UNLUCKY] SLEIGHING PARTY. – A party went out for a sleigh ride Tuesday evening, and as they came down Main street by the railroad the horses ran away, tearing down Main street with fearful velocity, and only bringing up at the corner of Front and Brady streets. – The party were scattered along the route, having jumped out at intervals. The team ran away twice afterwards during the same trip.
TO-DAY Welton & Warriner open their new boot and shoe manufactory at No. 56 Brady street. They will manufacture to order all kinds of men’s, ladies’, misses’ and children’s work, and will also keep on hand all kinds of Eastern work. All orders left at the old stand, 1st door above the Post Office, or at 56 Brady street, will be promptly attended to.
ELECTION DISTRICTS. – Our State Senator, Hon. J. B. Leake, has introduced a bill into that body, providing for dividing townships into election districts in certain cases. The bill was ordered to a third reading on the 6th inst. The necessity of such a measure is evident to every person who knows anything about elections in our larger cities – the canvass sometimes taking two or three days to complete, as was the case last fall.
PETTY RASCALITY. – Night before last the Temperance Eating Saloon, owned by Mr. Stanley, on Main street, between front and Second, was robbed of a number of pies. The front window was smashed in about midnight, through which the rogues found admission. The stock on hand consisted of a few pies only, which were taken. Suspicion was directed towards a small squad of soldiers belonging to the camp, who had visited the house that evening, and information was in the morning given to the commandant. Col. Sanders prosecuted a sharp investigation, and last evening had the perpetrators of the offense fast in the guard house. They were six in number and the youngest lads in the regiment. They ‘broke guard’ to get down town, but will doubtless receive such a lesson as to prevent them indulging in this kind of fun again.
DIVIDEND. – The New York Life Insurance Company has just declared a script dividend of thirty per cent. on life policies issued previous to Jan. 1st ult, and of twenty-five per cent. upon dividends heretofore declared from 1850 to 1860, inclusive, payable in cash on the first Monday in March next. This has been one of the most successful Life Insurance Companies ever chartered. As the rates of premiums are no higher, while the assets are greater and the dividends are larger than other companies, it is therefore the best and cheapest to insure in.
The agent of this company, Mr. John L. Swits, Nickolls’ Block, will furnish, gratuitously, the reports and information concerning it, and will also receive applications for insurance.
THE DEMOCRAT. – Our neighbor cringes under the excoriation we gave him and whines like a whipped spaniel. He doesn’t at all like such treatment. Bet the time has passed when secessionists at heart can hide themselves under the mask of ‘conservatism,’ and palm off their treasonable thoughts on community as a [simon-pure] Unionism. While our sons and neighbors are periling their lives and all are so deeply experiencing the fearful effects of this rebellion, men are not disposed to sanction any reasoning, however sophisticated, that has a tendency to prolong the war and entail misery upon their children. The ‘stop thief’ policy of the Democrat in regard to the Republican party won’t answer. They do not stand alone in the position they have assumed, to quell the rebellion regardless of the consequences to slavery, but very many persons who formerly identified themselves with the Democratic party, now take the same ground, and look upon the institution of slavery in a secondary light to the maintenance of the Union. And until this be done, we boldly maintain, that the North will not be purged of its sympathizers with treason.
UNGRATEFUL THIEVES. – Last Friday, a couple of boys, aged respectively about nineteen and fifteen years, stopped at Mr. W. Sherman’s Fifteen-Mile House, and being destitute they were received by Mr. Sherman, who gave them employment on Tuesday night, being desirous of changing their lodgings, they took their departure, carrying with them a couple of overcoats, a pair of boots, and some other clothing from Mr. Sherman’s hospitable house. They came in this direction, as they were seen to pass the Six-Mile House about three o’clock yesterday morning. They hail from Jones county.
THE DEMOCRAT, discoursing on the bachelor tax, says it hears “ye local” hereof has proposed twice since he read of the said tax. Twice! Is that all – you know about it? Why, judging from the experience of some of our neighbors, in order to have any use for the “baby-talk” you speak of, twice that many acceptances would hardly be enough. Twice! Indeed.
