M. DIDN'T COME our last ini- presaion Mrs. P. C. Harrison, of St.

Louis, made an announcement that she would deliver a lecture at the Court-House, on- Saturday evening last; subject--Equality of the sexes or shall women vote. From some cause or otheiytbere were but about half a dozen to hear the lecture. After waiting patiently for an audience, Mrs. Harrison walked to the stand, and said: "Friends, the time has now arrived for the lecture to commence, but as I see nothing but empty benches, I shall decline to deliver ray lecture. This is the first time it has ever fallen to my lot lobe thus received.

If it meets with the views of those present, I will postpone the lecture i to-morrow evening. I would like to bear the views of any one present as to the expediency of laying over i to-morrow evening." Someone suggested that she had better remain, and try her luck by a twenty-four hours' sojourn in the rural district, as popular interest might result in her favor. But the equiuoctial storm bad Commenced its furious travels in some southern latitude, aud it was not known when the appointment was made that it would reach Edwards- sville and Interrupt tbe eager throngs, of both sexes, who were anxious to listen to ideas entirely new from so distinguished a lecturer. But the storm raged furiously and wild, and prevented the fair sex from exhibiting their interest in the all-important question of the day. So the lecture was again postponed and set for Monday evening.

On Friday evening the lecturer announced that, if a sufficient number were not present, the admittance fee would be refunded, and the lecture would not take place. It might have been this last remark that caused such a light tint of an audience on Monday night; but, at any rate, we sympathise with the lecturer, who, we are confident, has no pecuniary motive in subjecting herself to the tips and downs of the vulgar world, but who has given, and is willing to give, her whole life to the elevating of her sisters on an equality with her uncouth brother. The audience consisted of two or three local editors of the Republican, two or three Court-House officials, and one or two more who had paid their admittance fee. Under the circumstances, what could the lecturer do but reiterate what she had said on the Friday evening previous. We admire her independence.

If she has a small opinion of Edwardsville, it is not to be wondered at. She has, probably, nr- one of two conclusions--cither that the women of Edwardsville are satisfied with their present condition, or that they are too poor to pay for a little wholesome advice oHnstruction. Our readers can draw their own conclusions on this point. Our opinion is that the women of Edwardbville desire no more privileges, with one exception, than isalready accorded them; and that to apeak in plain terras, tbe privilege of hiring a good house- servant. Of course, this ig our own private opinion, aud must be taken for what it is worth.

COUNTY has been but very little of interest done in the County Court the past week. The allowances made up to Tuesday noon amounted in the aggregate to $5,888.90. The following items we glean from tbe court record: Ordered, that W. T. Brown, County Judge, be and he is hereby appointed agent on the part of the county, and authorized to effect such loans of money for the use of the county ae he may be able to make, and for such rate of interest, not to exceed ten per cent.

per annum, and that he report his acts to this court from time to time. A bridge was ordered by the court to be built over West Mooney creek, on tbe Edwardsville and Hillsboro road. On the petition of several citizens of Highland, the Court ordered that lumber and material be furnished at the railroad depot in Highland, to build about 1,300 feet of road north of that town, tbe citizens agreeing to lay and keep said road in repair, c. A plank road was also ordered to be built from Silver Creek north to the bluff. Jas.

BREACH OP PROMISE have frequently heard of women sue- ing men for breach of promise of marriage, but It is very seldom that a suit of this kind is brought into court wherein the defendant is a woman. On Wednesday, the 9th however, a case was tried in the Circuit Court, at Hillsboro, which created quite a sensation, and the trial was looked forwardto by the Hillborians with no small degree of Interest.

It appears that a Miss Burris had promised to marry one B. S. Nelson, but subsequently married Wesley Best--a man with a family already made. Nelson had given defendant at different times money and other presents on the strength of tbe engagement, and, therefore, brought suit against Mrs. Best and her husband for $10,000 damages.

In the course of the examination, Nelson was asked why he did not marry her, "Why," said he, 'Wesley Best married her." Major McWilliams aud Gen. Phillips con ducted the case for the plaintiff, and Messrs. G. B. Burnett, of Edwardsville, and Southworth of Hillsboro, the defense.

The jury returned a verdict for the defendants. visiting cards printed at this office for 75 cents per Something "nobby." OLD the bank of West Prickett, a few days ago, we saw a bag of old coins, amounting in value to from or five hundred dollars, which had been accumulated by the late Joshua Atwater, through a period of over forty years. The coins were mostly American silver dollars, and some of them bore date as far back as 1780, and many old Spanish pieces, over a hundred years old. Mr. Atwater seems to have had a mania for collecting'old coins.

CIVIL WAR AT RISING SUN. An International Donnybroolt--PieK- Ax Handles and 11 not--An Over- it helming Defeat of the Rising Sun- ncrs.

From the Licthfleld Monitor. The battle fought yesterday, Friday, at Rising Sun, between the track Jay- era of the Decatur and East St. Louis railroad and the Teutonic residents of the burg mentioned, was, like many of the battles of the late war, "sharp aud decisive." The Rising gunners had decided that the iron of the railroad should not be laid through the parsonage grounds, for the reason, as they said, that only fifty dollars had been paid when a thousand had been demanded. And so they fenced the railroad track up, and after ringing the church be'! twice to call iu trie clans, mounted the fence in battle array, the minister of the church, Mr. Isanbaugh, a i command.

The railroad men advanced gallantly to the charge, tipped over the fences, bruised tlie heads of some, Rising Sunners, and soon put the enemy to ignoiuinous flight. After taking possession of the track, the railroad men immediately to work laying track, and soon had the road finished through the battleground. A DILATORY know the i i i a who is always dilatory iu makingthe responses? He is usually to be found in every Episcopal parish, much to the annoyance of the i orderly people who unfortunately are compelled to sit near liim. A man of this sort was one of the most regular (streh always are regular) attendants at St. 's, Phila- i a and so''worriting" had his a i habit become, that several parishioners culled on the rector and requested him to "interview" the laggard, and request him to make the rebponces in unison with the rest of the Liretheren.

"You see, my dear sir," saiii the rector, "it is easy enough to be prompt, if you will but fix your i upon it If you begin tlie General Confession promptly, you i easily end i the othersC Then, again, if at the creed you commence: I promptly, why, at the proper time, you i be able to 'de- icendinto hell' i the rest of the congregation! Now my dear Sir, pray be a i more prompt, anil do Drawer, in Harper's Magazine for 9. We ought to lay more land iu grass, timothy aud clover. 10. In this country, where more meat is consumed than anywhere else, we ought to raise more hogs, and of a better quality, and should give much more attention to good beef cattle. 11.

We ought to improve our gardens, orchards and vineyards, and pay more attention to the destruction of injurious insects. 12. We should, by all means, practice economy in our federal, State and county households, and never elect that smart class of men to office who regard the farmer merely as their flower and feed-bags. Stealing? Extraordinary Six Horftes, and Stolen-Fifty Citizens In Hot Pursuit. Front tlie Chilllcothe (Mo.) Constitution, March 81.

The sou tli-west port ion of county was the scene on Monday i last of bold and successful raid by horse thieves. On that evening, i two neighbors, a Mr. Pottle and a Mr. Hutchins, were absent with i families, at some horse thieves made a descent on the premises and stole from the first named gentleman two bay horses and a wagon and harness, and from Mr. i a pair of hordes.

As soon as the robbery was discovered tlie alarm was given, and the news spread great excitement followed, am) early on Tuesday morn- i a large of Ihe neigh boring farmers armed themselves and started in hot pursuit. One of the stolen horses had mi a peculiar shoe, which enabled pursuers to make rapid pursuit. The scoundrels woe first heard of at Dawn, in the extreme southwest corner of i comity, rapidly i towards Kansas City. At the town of Proctorville, in Rny county, they stole" another set of harness, and two miles beyond they gobbled up two more horses, a i six in all. At our last advices, Tuesday afternoon, about fifty citizens were In close pursuit of them, with every prospect of their capture.

Our i a expressed the belief that, if the enraged citizens captured the thieves, they would never engage in horse stealing again. TWELVE ARTICLES OF FAITH OP THE WESTKHS FARMERS. Here is good advice to farmers from one who is competent to give it--Col. Frederick Hecker: Whatought ourfarraerstodo? That is the question. 1.

We ought to remember that in the old world, every hour in the day, the means of communication are so improved and multiplied that countries which previously had no market for their productions can now ship them wherever they are toeeded, whereby they are enabled to increase even their former Deductions. We, therefore, can no longer calculate upon permanently paying lucrative prices for our wheat. 2. We are unable to pay wages such as were justified at the time when our products brought paying or lucrative prices. 3.

We will be obliged to cultivate smaller farms, aud to raise better crops on a smaller area of land by better culture, manuring, change of products and cultivation of clover; because 40 acres at 16 bushels are more expensive than 15 bushels at 25. 4. We shall be able to employ less paid labor and to work on the co-operative system. 5. We ought to abandon the system of cultivating only one kind of products, and cultivate many, iu order to have always something for sale.

If everybody this spring cultivates corn, as they say they will, com will be'run down exactly as wheat. 6. We ought to entreat Congress to reduce the duty on coffee, tea, salt and sugar. 7. We ought not to buy more land and not go in debt for more land than we can cultivate.

8. We ought to avoid every superfluous expense. DIED. On the llth at -1 o'clock, Edward Purcell, aged 22years, 8 months and 23 days. On the 12th at 2 o'clock, George son of Edward L.
