According to the Alabama Enquirer a country editor is one who reads newspapers, writes on any subject, f-tlcks type, folds papers and makes up mail, ruus errands, saws wood, works in the garden, is blamed for a thous and other things he never thought of, works hard all day, is subject tospring fever, helps people into office who for get all about it afterward, and fre quently gets cheated out of his earn lag.

Dry (Huh Mininu Camp, " April 0, 1880. EDtTOft LkUANON EXI'KKHS ! Bitting In a tent at nine o'clock nt night on a one leg stool writing for n paper Is something ntw for me, but as I have i changed my system" sonie what and become a prospector in tins to bo a live mining camp, I will tell you v hut little news there Is to lie found hero. There are several men working ou the Canal Fork mlnu about live tulles from here, und over at Sil ver City there Is a new mining camp, where they are preparing to commence work on the Galena mine, which I un derstand Is very rich. At Quurtzvllle there Is only ono man to he found, and with our party of four makes up the population of (JuarUville mining dis trict No. 8. We rcuched this place on AnriU, njid pitched our tent at the mouth of Dry (lulch on II. Ken ton's quartz claim, as tired a set of men as over set foot In this locality. This is my first experience as a prospector and in camping out, and to come down to bacon and beans three times a day has taken all the romance nut of this would be millionaire miner, We vis ited the famous White Hull mine and several more in the. sumo locality, among them Heed, Itohodcs & Cos. mine, and found them to be what they have been represented, liut climbing up and down mountains and fulling over logs was too great a task for our party In one day, and when we arriv ed in camp from our day's journey and nothing to eat, found our party in any thing but good humor. We have lo cated four mines; the fir.-t we called "O D," a gold bearing: quartz on Cedar creek. The second we called file Dull of Cedar Jrcck. as It is a lineable of fense for any one to come in here and take up more than one claim without bringing the bovine square to the front. There is the White Bull, lied Bull, and every other kind and odor of bulls imaginable among the different quartz claims in this district. 11. Ken ton has located a fine goliua ledge bore and is in a qimtulry whether to call it the Lebanon Exprets or after iichurnt ing widow in Albany. .Hut they wiy the widows never get left, and you can make sure that in tais particular quartz ledge the widow will win. We are all crippled up and invalids. Too many steep mouutainsand deep gulch es is the cause of our many ills, but in lue time I think, bacon and beam will will declare themselves the victors, For a change last tight for supper we changed cur system and tried titled ni plcH (stewed) for supper. That was my prescription and I was placed on the retired list. As an epicurean phil osopher they say I am a failure. We have not itiet with any animalu that infesl the mountains, l;iit we have heard strange noises at iilgln which have caused H. Kenton to imagine they were poking tneir lows up against the side of the tent where he sleep:. We have gnat faith in Iob, our watchdog, to drive away all intruders and see that none of us are carried ;;.
