Oa my return from the Pike Circuit Court,
on last Thursday evening, where I was detained
longer than I eapected to have been, I found
my name oa what it called the Temperance
Ticket" at a candidate for Gty Attorney, at the
next November City election.
. Although something was said to me, before
' I started to Pike county, in regard to whether I
would consent to discharge the duties of the
office, it elected, jet I did not suppose that any
formal nomination would be made, which would
place me in the attitude of being the exclusive
candidate of any particular party.
A Temperance man in one sense, though not
a member of cny Temperance Society, and

behalf, I must beg leave to decline the nomiua-

J"Rev. Antoinette Brown, the woman
whose speech created so much excitement in the
Whole World's Temperance Convention, is now
the pastor of the Congregational Church at South
Butler, Wayne county, New Turk. A corres
pondent of the St. Louis Republican says:
"She is a young lady of remarkably pleasing
manner and address, who has taken lier colleg
ate course, fitted herself for the ministry, and
been for some months earnestly and successful
. ly engaged in her work. On the fifteenth of
this month she is to be ordained."

about 10 o clock, bringing news oi a riotous
affray which had ocourred that afternoon at
Franklin, in Franklin county, thirty or forty

are as follows:

In forcing an estimate of the prospective val
ue of thrae unimproved landa belonging to tha
Company, 1 have employed a criterion which 1
think is lest calculated te lead to a correct re
tult. This has been obtained by ascertaining
the preseat value of lauds of simitar quality etU
uated willia similar distances of such facilities
of transportation as are afforded by the Miseoua
ri and Miisasinpi rivers, facilities which, coa
sidering thecomparative difficulty of approach
ing these rims through the bottom land, and
the uncertaiity of the navigation, are evidently
far inferior 'o those furnished by a Rail
road, and cerainly lest calculated te enhance
the value of Lnds. Agreeably to this critwioa,
not so high a me as for many reasons you would
be justified inassuming, the average value of tha

are continually advancing. Stock oa hand small,
