Vicksburg Uoin uiercial :—
There has been a strong effort
made bv planters and others
of the Ytzoo valley to induce
Gov. Lowry to convene the
legislature in extra session
for the purpose of passing a
temporary nosfenco law for
the delta section, it being
maintained that it is impossi
ble to repair the fences in
lime to make a crop this year.
The Mississippi river count
ties will probably favor ihe
movement if the delta coun
ties will join the levee tlis
trict anu share the burden
necessarily imposed by recent
breaks all along the river
front. The proposition seems
reasonable, inasmuch as the
present overflow lias demon
strated the fact that the levees
are as indispensable to the
Yazoo, Deer Creek and Sun
flower counties as to those
immediately on the Missis
sippi river. If all the over
flowed seel ion will act in con
cert it is highly probable that
an extra session will be called.
Otherwise the levre district
will oppose it.

Women and facts are very stub
born tilings,
Aim rule this world in spite of
lords and kings,
My muse of tacts and women there
fore sings,
In famous Cambridge, famed for
Harvard College,
Where famous men stud empty
heads with knowledge
A kind and very worthy woman
lives,
Who by economy and labor
thrives,—
One Mis Halil.
The wife of Oliver a drinking
fellow,
Who, as he loafs about and gets
quite mellow,
Is no help-mate at all.
I said this woman by lier labor
thrives;
Tis tine, for by the tol' of her own
hands
She bought the neat white cottage
where she lives,
And even the soil on which that
cottage stands;
And though her wedded Ijrd his
vigils keeps,
Night after night with vilest ot
the vile,
In earthly heii, vailed ruin shops,
still the while
She looks for better days and toils
and weeps
Oh could we hit on some success
fni plan,
To make the drunkard half a sober
man,
'Twould dry her tears and bid her
sorrow cease,
And made that cottage the dwel
ling place of peace:
But soulless wretches of the basest
sort. ,
The shame, and scourge,and curse
of Cambridge port.
Will still supply that wretched man
with rum,
And scud him drunk and brawling
to bis home.
Among the crew was one Bezaleal

In 11. stou nun. a very noted

Who kept himself and store
I n w hat had been a blacksmith shop
of yore,
A place tor merchandise not over

And though, as l have heard the
neighbors say,
The blacksmith tools were taken
all aw ay,
’fis plain 1 think there still remains
one vice
This Wheeler did oil Mrs. Ball
exhort
No more to furnish Oliver with
rum;
But to that filthy hole would he
i esort.
Then crabbed, cross, and railing
seek his home.
One day as usual, he returned not.
drunk,
But. half-seas-over, or a little more.
And set the house in such complete
uproar
As vexed poor Airs Mali and raised
her spunk;
Said she,‘i’li go and see that wretch
once more ’
Her dark eyes dashed like lightning
as she spoke,
And putting on her bonnet and her
cloak
She walked with hasty steps to
AY heeler's store.
‘Is Wheeler here.” the dame did
eager ask,
Yet naught but echo deigned to
make rejdy;
She searched the shop, but nothing
could espy
Save bottle, glass, and demojohn,
and cask.
Thus disappointed, say what could
she do?
Return home smarting with a s;nso
of wrong,
And still submit to su.;h abuse?—
Oh, no:
Glass ware is quickly broke,and .sho
is strong;
Said she ‘I’ll show the knave what
1 can do!’
And to the work with a resolution
tlcw.
Then bottles crashed
And liquor splashed
And glasses smashed.
As one by one against the wall
she dashed.
At length she clutched the demi
john. and said,
‘Oome ’tis your turn,’ and bore it to
the street,
Then, lifting it on high above her
head,
Down came tlie precious uurueu ai
her ieet.
As erse before tlie ark old Dagou

So fell this heathen god, and such
a smell
Uoee from the wieck, perfuming all

As it there had been fifty topers

A second demijohn no better

Though at its first descent it stood
tlie shock,
liven ‘harmless medicines’ could
not be spared,
For, ceasing on the fragment of a
rock,
She dealt him such a blow, so fair
and full.
As broke this universal doctors
skull,
Strong as it was at length ’twas
forced to yield,
Aud left the lady mistress of the
field,
Man’s direst foe did woman’s power
confess.
And Cambridge port now boasts
one rum shop less.
My friends it you have rum shops
in your towns,
Which you are quite desirous to

Look to the dealers well aud on

The naked truth in one pertetual

And law their pockets tough, that

But should you find your efforts

Having bought the entire inter

attention to his whereabouts. Mark
is still in Hazlchurst, and will stand

lip top trim—thetineit looking and
doubtless tho best horse for any and
all purposes in the State. It you

and actian are all centered in him,
and I will say just here, as I have
as much business as I can give prop

trade Mark, and with proper atten

dollars a year.
