WE WOULD CALL
the attention of adver-
tisera to the fact that the
alation of the COUNTRY SI AN is
iljr increasing in Austin county and
'i the State, and that this paper
good medium for making
their business to the people of the
■terior. tf
Dancing School.—Prof. Ogg com-
pletad tbe first term of his dancing
school this week, bat we are pleased
lo learn he,has consented to stay

his tnition have advanced almost to
J
perfection daring the short term just
pawed under his superior tutoiiliip,
Ball.—Prof. Prouty gave a ball on

in the Court House. Prof, Ogg and
Mr. Beeves officiated as musicians on

Marriage. — Serried on the 1st
Inst, at the residence of tbe bride's
mother, near Bollville^ by Chas. T.
Kavannngh, Esq., Mr. James W.
Thompson, to Miss Caroline M.
Nichols, all of Austin County.
We learn that last Sunday, about
fix miles below San Felipe, tbis
county, a difficulty occurred between
■eme freedmen and white persons, in
which Mr. Benjamin Cowen, a white
man, was killed, and Wilson Hanks,
f. m. e., was wounded In the
leg. The particulars as to who was
at fault we have not heard, nor what
the difficulty was about. As we go
pi presa tbf Sheriff has three negroes
in custody who were accused of being
concerned in the difficulty, but no
conclusion has been arrived at as to
their guillor innocence.
Our Paper.—Ouj new paper did
not arrive until late yesterday, whicb
causes us to .be later than usual in
getting the Countryman to press thü-
week. Bat the Countryman looking
so much better will be a sufficient
apology {o Ha lateness. We extend
our thanks te our agent. E. C. Whar-
ton, of New Orleans, for his prompt-
ness aa well as for sending us so good
an article of paper.
Masonic and Literary Journal.—
W# learn that Messrs. Diamond,
Jones & Co., of the Houston Journal,
will commence tlio publication ot a
monthly magazine devoted o .Ma- onic
literature, on the first of June. Tbe

yll be conducted under the super
vision of Mff^i B. A. E. Bcríg¡n,
and aided by many other able con-
tributors. The subscription price will
be $3 a year, currency. A journal oi
the character contemplated to be pub-
lished by the above gentlemen has
been long needed by the Masonic
fraternity in Texas.and tbe publishers
it is to be hoped will be liberally en-
couragedin their spirited undertaking,
parties wishing to subscribe should
aend in their names at once to tbe
publishers, or, if more convenient, we
will forward them with pleasure.
An Irishman s Letter.—The fol-
lowing is a true copy of a letter re-
ceived from across the water:
My D-ar Nephew.—I have not

May-Day Festival.
—— > .
Wednesday last 'was truly a gala
day in Bellville. The clouds that had
hovered around the horizon the day
before had disappeared, and old Sol
rode forth in all his splendor, ushering
in the glorious first of May. Tbe
stranger to Bellville would have
guessed of something extraordinary
to take place, for early in the morn-
ing numbers of vehicles, crowded with
fair occupants, and horsemen arrived
from the country around, and all look-
ed gay ?nd happy.
The celebiatiou of crowning a
Queen of May had been the talk of
tbe scholars of the Academy for some
weeks past, and great had been the
preparations. At eleven o'clock a. at.
of the eventful day, a procession was
formed, headed by a beautiful banner,
with the inscriptions " Hail, Queen
of May," and " How quickly speed
the May-day hours, while nature
strews our path with flowers." The
situation selected foj tbe day's en:
joyment was in a grove to the west of
tbe town. The wide-spreading oaks
seamed to have extended their sturdy
limbs in all directions, as it were to
form a retreat from the oppressive rays
of the Ban. The woods and prairies
around were all clothed ia the rich
garb of Spring, and the contemplative
mind conld not bat be impressed with
the subliir.e. Tbe heart seemed to
beat in response to Nature's God.
A large platform was erected, with
a throne gayly decorated with flowers,
an 1 around were placed seats for the
ladies. About 12 o'clock tbo pro-
cession arrived, when Mr. Pronty, the
present Iucumbent of- the Academy,
introduced the ceremonies with tbe
following appropriate remarks -
Ladies and Gentlemen.—We have
assembled here to celebrate this
beautiful day—the first of- May.
It is now that Spring is with ns once
more, gayly attired in her most gorge-
ous robes,¿pacing the earth in all the
primal pomp of her beauty; decorated
with those choice flowers, which are
now and have 6vtr been regarded as
tbe standard of beauty. Through th s
attribute, so evidently divine in its
origin, it breathes on the heart an in-
fluence always pleasing, elevating anS
pure. Tbe benevolent thought which
first conceived of this crowning gl ry
of the vegetable world, had evidently
in view the education of man's moral
nature, as well as the reproduction
and permanence of the vegetable
kingdom. We have now the soft and
balmy breezes of the south, tbe song
of birds in evfjy tree, and tbe blue
sky and tbe bright clouds above, to
inspire all the world with joy and
good humor. Let as then too, share
© r •:
a portion of her pleasures and be, for
at least to day, gay and joyous.
Though we have liad much to sad
and mar our spirits for tbe last six
year?, to-day we will try to assume
the cheerful, and forget for a while at
least tbe past, remembering only tbe
good old times of yore, when there
was nothing wautingtogive the happy
completeness V the advent ÍT spring,
and without whicb it Í3 like a beauti-.
ful melody without words, or a beau^
tiful face without a soul. The cele-
bration of this day is no modern
invention ; it dates its origin back to
the early ages of man ; even back to
that solitary pair who once inhabited
the beautiful garden of Eden : where
spring never ended, an,d flowers ever
bloomed ! We read that they, after
having leen driven by the anger of
God from that beautiful paradise, ex-
perienced for the first time a long, cold
aud dreary winter. Wretched indeed
must that time have been spent, for
they thought that was a punishment
sent on them for their great siu, and
that it was to last always. How must
their hearts have rejoiced, when again
th* warm sunshine once more appear-
ed, and the beautiful songs of the birds
as tbey warbled forth their notes of
praise. Next came the little tiny
flower, whicb, when Eve first beheld,
she stooped down and kissed and
wept for very joy, for it reminded her
of the pleasant times she had once
enjoyed. Soon many others, of differ-
ent hues and colors, made their ap-
pearance, and so pleased was she that
she gathered the most beautiful ones
she could find aad wove them into
garlands, atjd decorated the littlje
arbor which she had reared in tbat
silvan shade; and when Adam re-
turned wearied and worn with the
toils of the day, she led him into this
beautiful retreaV-^here tbey both
kneeled downknd worshiped the great
God ; and rejoiced tbat He, in his
anger, had not entirely forgotten
t'aem. History, also, informs as that
during the reign of Henry the Eighth,
this day wab celebrated with great
rejoicings; from early morning till
late in the day did the good people
keep up their many sports. Even the
King^nd Queejg, and lords and ladies
o£ their court, gave their presence to
the merry meetings of these sturdy
yeomanry. And not only in England,
bat throughoutallEurope was this day
celebrated, and is to tbis day, though,
perhaps, with not quite as much spirit
as it was three hundred years ago ;
and though we may bavo loat some of
the spirit whicb pervaded the breasts
of our good old forefathers, still we
have the same good and glorious
world ; tbe same sun, whose bright-
ness has not diminished in tbe least,
and whose refulgent rays shine as
bright as tlipy did on creation morn ;
ever reminding us that we should be
cheerful and happy. I hope that tbe
exercises of this day may leave a
good impression upon your hearts,
and that with each succeeding May
wj may again meet together, and re-
new these pleasant greetings whici
are now so happily begun.
The approach of the destined Queen
was then heralded by Miss Annie
Matthews, iu nej,t prologue, spoken
in a cler.r and audible voice. The
song " Hether Bells," was then sung
by numbers of flower girls, and the
maids of honor escorted their chosen
one to the throne. The ceremony of
coronation was entruste1 to Miss Mary
Pilley, the first maid of honor, aud she
performed the trust with much grace.
In a sweet voice she congratulated
her compapiou on being the chosen
one of their number to represent tbe
Queen of the floral Miy. The sceptre
was presented to her Floral High-
ness by Miss Dicis Grenville,
accompanied by sotpe, very pretty re.
marks. The Queen, Miss Sallie
Glenn, though not clothed with those
costly trappings which adorn the
regal courts of the East, was never-
theless beautifully decorated with the
choicest of Nature's gems. A beau-
tiful coronet of rases encircling her
fair brow, and wreathes of flowers
decorated her BylpU-like form. She
thanked her colleagues very kind-
ly for tha honor they had conferred
upon her, and hoped that they would
ever keep in view their duty to them-
selves, aud to each other, so that,
amid the cares and pleasures, the
smiles end tears of this eventful world,
in their little realm at least, the sun
of peace, of harmony, aud of happi-
ness, may brightly shine, without one
cloud to dim its purity and beauty.
The Maids 9jj Honor then sung the
"B >sy Crown.1' A May-day speech,
by Miss Mary Manning, was given
very nicely, followed by the song,
" Cheerful Companions." Addresses
on the seasons were given by Misses
Jennie Bracey, Annie Seelhorst, Eliza
Glenn, and Fanuie Manning, ve;y
creditably. After tbe singing of the
" Mountain Maid's Invitation," Prof.
Ogg, assisted by Mr. Ed. Beeves,
rendered some of their almost inimit-
able dance music. Several quadrilles
were gone through, and the company
adjourned for dinner.
The ceremonies of tbe day were
brought to a conclusion about 3 P. M.,
with an address from Miss Mary
Matthews, thanking the audience for
the honor showed to them on that
oqgpioa, and hoped that nothing bad
occurred to mar the happiness of a
s'ugle one there assembled. That
they might all carry away with
them pleasant recollections, and that
wherever their lot might be cast in
this wide world, they would all realize
to its fnllest extent, the old saying of
the poets,
" How softly falls the foot of time
That only treads on flowers."
Th3 audience assembled was ex-
traordinarily large, and. everything
conducted with the utmost propriety
aud decorum. We have seen none
since the occasion who have not
expressed themselves perfectly satis-
fied with the exercises. Much praise
and commendation are due Professor
Prouty far the complete arrangement
and good order that prevailed.
Many persons from distant port'ons
of the county were present, aud ex-
pressed themselves not only satisfied,
but highly pleased will tiieax* rcises
and th© entertainment extended to
them.
Among those who contributed to
the dinner so sumptuously prepared,
we have not space npr memory to
mention all y lio did well, but can not
forget Mrs. N- Holland, Mrs. G. W.
Johnson, Mrs. A. Glenn, Mrs. Craig,
Mrs, B. F. Harris, Mrs. J. P. Oster-
hout, Mr$. J- W. Manning, Mrs. B.
E. Boach, Mrs. J. G. Bell, Mrs. C.
A. Pilley, Mrs. Crump. Mrs. W. I.
Cooke, Mrs. C. T. Kavanangb, Mrs.
Grenville,and many others whom we
would not omit, but do not now call
to mind, whn.evidwn.tly did their very
beat to provide for a sumptuous re-
past. Among those who eujoyed the
dinner there were so maríy,us «mo::g
tbe number, but we can not mention
them..
