Seaborn Feagan, who was arrested last Saturday, for jumping bondsmen in Mississippi, is still flourishing his razor and crying “next,” in his shop near the postoffice. The officer who caused his arrest left on Tuesday with about three hundred dollars of Seab’s money. He had a hearing before Judge Pilsbury, which cost him in the neighborhood of five hundred dollars. He seems to be a sadder as well as a wiser man, and will let women alone. Public Schools. Our Public Schools began on Mon day last, with a very flattering atten dance, there being about two hundred and fifty in tho white schools.
