SEXAUER 10, and Nicholas WEHNER entered a plea of not guilty to 3 indictments; one of the cases was tried Thursday night and nolle pros entered. Charles OBERMULLER, one of the lucky barkeepers on the record of last November term of the circuit court, paid up his fine (over $61.00), last week and would have been quite happy at the thought of being rid of the ineubus, if it had not been that he had to sell his cow to make the payment. Encourage the reading of newspapers among your children, and you will soon discover what a fondness they will have for their family journal and how rapidly they will improve. The newspaper is the poor man's library. Every family should be provided with a newspaper of its own. A lady, in a hurry to go to church, took from her dark closet what she thought to be her dolman. She hung the garment over her arm, and did not discover until she had thrown it over the pew in front of her that she had brought, by mistake, a pair of her husband's trousers. Perryville Sun Mrs. Josephine BOTZ, the hospitable proprietress of the "Champion Saloon" in the first ward, will open her garden to the public this evening (Saturday) at half past six o'clock.

The garden will be open every Saturday night. Come one, come all. Mr. Henry SCHRAMM, who lives on the Farmington Road near the "Backbone", tell us that his wheat is in a terrible condition and that he does not expect to make more than a third crop. This is probably one of the wort cases in the county, and we are happy to say that there are not many cases of that kind. Our formerly expressed opinion that the wheat crop in this county will be short of last year by about one fifth, holds good. J. Bartley JOKERST's friends will find him behind Chas. A. HERTER's counter, ready to offer and sell goods as cheap as any house in the city. His Honor Judge FOX was resplendent in a bran new suit of clothes of the latest style out, and with his hair cut a la mode and, set off with the very latest style in plug hats, was in the best humor during the whole court. His Honor is making a record as a Judge that will make him solid for all time to come in this district. The usual complaint: first too much rain, then too dry. When it was the proper time to plant corn, farmers in many parts could not plow on account of the periodical rains, and now that favorable weather has at last set in, they must hasten to finish their planting. Hence the extraordinary dullness in business during the last two weeks. Another reason why business was so slack lately is to be found in the circumstance that the small farmer, as a rule, is come to the bottom of his purse, or very near it.
