Sew Cistern.—We are glad to see
die town cistern under process of
Construction, and hope soon tosee the
tfm« completed, and a fire-engiue
located close by, so that in cas oí
Jil« there may be a chance to save
oar prosperous town.
Gavtiim.—We would caution our
eonntiy friends about coming to
Hempstead and getting into a "muss,"
tm Mr. H L. Rankin has been ap-
pointed City Recorder, and Mr.
Browning City Maishal. They are
always on the alert, with eyes and
earo-open, and woe to the man who
is found violating the city ordinances,
if we may judge by the-fines imposed
fat the last ten dajs, for they amount
to one hundred and twcnty-niue
dollars and seventy cents.
A Bible Society was organized in

field, T. S. Hammitt, and J)r. J, S.
Cunningham, executive committee.
Odd Fellows. — We are glad to
jmnounce that a Lodge of Odd Fel-
lows has been established at this
5lace, with the following officers:—
. Tnffly, N. G-; T. G. Patrick,
V. G.; J. H, Rntner, sec,; H. S.
Effhor, treasurer; W. T. Hall,
guardian. Fi7e members were
admitted by dispensation, and we
hope that by using due diligence we
may build up a Lodge here thai will
lw a credit to Hempstead.
lee Cream. — That plate of ice
cream that Mr, Tuffiy presented us
fbe other day, was rather cool, for
which we return our sincere thanks,
We are authorized to invite the editor
to take a dish with us the first time
Jie visits Hempstead.
Complaints.—We don't like tobe
always complaining. We don't like a
.complaining wife, a complaining hus-
band, a complaining printer, a com-
plaining editor, ora complaining sub-
scriber. Of the last class we have
<{nite a number. The complaint is not
that the paper is not good enough—
| bat all acknowledge—but that th«y
can't get it. Well, we have inquired
|nto the matter, and find that the
Countryman arrives at its destined
The Mississippi Overflow.
Five new crevasses have been oe:
casioned by a late gale below New Or-
leans. Rice and orange trees are most-
ly destroyed. Great distress.'
A boat has to be impressed to take
off those actually in a drowning con-
dition,because the owners of boats are
intent only on makiag money from
these sufferers. Numbers on rafts are
literally starving,awaitiug relief. The
depot at Brashier is filled with women
and children. Rations are being dis-
tributed wherever needed. Nearly the
whole country from Cairo down is
submerged and thousands have per-
ished by drowning and starvation.
Hundreds of millions of property of
every species have been destroyed.
Houses go sweeping over the land
with their helpless occupants within
or on the roofs. Thousands upon thou-
sands have lost their all. During the
war the lower portion of the Missis-
ippi was devasied by fire, sword, pil-
lage and famine, and what little the
war left has thus been swept away.
God only knows the amount of suffer
ing these people have endured.which
seems now about culminating in hope-
less, almost helpless ruin. What be-
tween the starving condition of the
people east and those drowning with
the entire country inundated west o:
the Mississippi, but little remains to
complete the entire work of destruc-
tion throughout the greater portion of
the Southern country, whilst the
whole is suffering more or leas from
the resulta and effects of the war, bad>
or no crops at alL and the ruinous leg-
islation and enormous taxes levied
and prevailing,which looks as though
intended to crush cut all hope of re-
turning peace and prosperity. What
have these people done that they
should be so afflicted and persecuted.
When will our people be led out of
Egypt! If the Northern people could
only have presented to their view and
behold the picture here painted in
half its horrid reality, they would
shrink back aghast and with horror
at the sight, and recoil from the cru-
sade now being waged by them
against the South. Had the proper
spirit and legislation governed the last
Congress hundreds of millions worth
of property might have been saved
and ire spared the awful deluge that
now devastates and lays waste an em-
pire in itself, aud the sufferings that
have been thereby entailed. Let onr
relief be unstinted to these poor un-
fortunates, and let it come unasked.
Another JElDorado.--rTim past two
months parties have been prospecting
in the Guadaloape Mountains and in
the range of mountains between Pre*
sidio del Norte end Chihuahua, and
report that it is one of the richest gold
countries in existence, extending over
thirty miles square,with plenty water
at all times,diggings paying good wa-
ges at Pinos Alios.
il/fz/co.-The steamer Gen.Maculum
postofficercgulorly,1 >ut Siumjriend (?) j hi.. ap :Vo(j at Galveston from Tainpi
f the subscriber, trespassing on the co> juarez had ordered Pavoni to
kindness and good nature of the post-
ín aster,boiro-Ts it to read, and the real
Subscriber never gets to see the paper
at all. We venture to say there is at
feast one such case at every postoffice
in the pounty, and we believe it is the
ease at more than one office outside of
the State. This is all wrong. If any
man,woman or child is really too poor
to subscribe and pay for thu Country-
ptan, and will make known the fact
and convine." us of its truth, in the
liberality of our heart we will send
Jiim or her the paper for nothing,
But you who are always borrowing
your friends paper from the postoffice
arr-we want you to understand that we
mean you—you are injuring onr sub-
scriber and injuring us. Because, if
you did not pursue your present course
rather than do without the Country-
man yon might subscribe and come up
promptly every year and pay in ad-
vance. By this mean9 you would ben
«fit yourself, benefit us,and benefit the
subscriber whose paper yon borrow.
We have ascertained in sevaral in-
stances to our entire saiisfaction, that
the papers do arrive at the proper
KOffice, bat that when called for by
Mtbseriber he cannot get them, for
thewrim that some one too mean or
too st agy to subscribe for the paper,
or because he can get it without pay-
| >g for it, obtains it therefrom through
tne courtesy of the official, whose good
nature will not permit of his refusing
the asked for favor.
If we could remedy this evil,an evil
that has growq up mostly during the
war, when papers were scarce, we
could dismiss many of the complaints
wo hear sq often, and ot\r subscription
pst would no doubt increase to its pro-
per size.
Freéks of 7Va<Zt.-~Flour from the

pea, and Pavoni is not able to contest
hiin, as Gome? has 2000 men. He
is weak-minded and under the influ-
ence of Canales and other chiefs disa-
fected toward Jnarez. The port of
Tampico is closed by Juarez and du
ties paid to Gomez will not be recog-
nize d,but collection made on merchan-
dize again when it reaches the interi-
or. Juart-z in his order recites an al-
legation that Gomez has unaccounted
for 8800,000, though Gomez in refus-
ing to take the field against Maximil-
ian a few days before, alleged he had
no 'military chest'. Pavoni is waiting

Brother* and Sister#.—The London
Review closes an article as follows :
The finest gallantry, and tbe gal-
lantry of a trae gentleman, can be
shown in devotion to sisters. We
believe the ladies ougbt to iucline
more to it than they do. Very often
it unfortunately happens tbat a lady
does not think oí her brother tkntil
a period arrives when her affections
may be contemplated as rather faded.
Married Risters are rather1 favorable
to their brothers, and we have beard
that they are so in proportion as the
brothers have been instrumental in
helping them to good husbands.
The amount of tbe article is, that
brothers and sisters should not de-
mand too heavy sacrifices from each
other, either as regards marriage or
anything else, bnt there might be a
more Jrfgh- toned generous devotion
to each other, than is generally seen,
with great advantage to both and to
aociatj in general. "
