A Challenged Debate.
It has been suggested by some
that there will beheld at the court
bouse to night,a public challenged
debate between Dr. J. P. Moye,
and another of the prominent cit
izens of Butler, The debate- will
be of an historical character and
will no doubt be interesting to all
who should attend.

on consignment, as his circular in
forms ur,which he is bound to Bell
by the 22nd of June, a choice lot
of fancy pockets, framed mol toes,

The Colored 0.' S. Celebration-
On last Friday the colored Meth
odist 8unday school celebration ot
Butler,took place. It was expect
ed by them that, both schools
would have united in this celebra
tion, but there arose some misun
derstanding between them the
night before and the Baptist post
poned their celebration to some
future day They assembled at
the fish-pond about ten o’clock
where they were met by Rov (J.
8. Johnston, who gave them a
plain but sensible address,of whicli
the colored people were much
pleased. About one o'clock a
nice dinner was spread before them
upon the hill-side, and none went
away but with plenty. After the
diuner was over the children made
some very neat little speeches,
which dosed the exercises of the
dey. Altogether,they Lad a very
pleasant time.
Notice of JHeeolutlon.
With the last issue of the Hir-
ald, Mr. P. G. Smith, who tor the
past five, months had been our jun
ior partner, by mutual consent of
both parties, dissolves his connec
tion with this paper. The Her
ald will still be continued as be
fore Mr. Smith’s connection, and
no labor will be spared by ns to
make this paper as interesting to
our readers aDd more so is possible
than it is to-day. To do justice
to ourselves we will say that Mr.
Smith had no personal interest in
the Herald, and being desirous of
following other persuits,severs his
connection. For this we cannot
find the least objection. It ii his
privelige. We can but speak in
the highest terms of this gentle
man, bis labor* have been faith
fully bestowed and no pains has
been spared by him to faithfully
serve % criticising public. During
our acquAlutence of two years with
the people of Butler,we have nev
er known a person, young or old,
whom we have felt more attached
than to him. Friends we have
been and friends we will remain.
Let hit persuits in future life be
what they may; let him go to the
East or to the West, he will ever
prove his mark in the world. His
business qualities are remarkably
good, and whatever business he
undertakes he is bound to succeed.
We wish him prosperity and hap
piness throughjhtp^^^
VALEDICTORY.
Those who'have sought aud receiv
ed the patronage of the public; end at
the some time have enjoyed a ttater-
ual intercourse with the Literary
world, never fully appreciate, the
pleasant obligations thus created, un
til the hour that sunders their con
nections.
Buell, at least, is the experience oi
your humble servant; who, whilst yet a
youth, recently assumed tho(ior hltnj
honorable and responsible position ol
figtor Editor of the Butler Hkhald ;
ura who now begs leave to make bis
retiring bow.
To our patrons and friends, we
return our sincere thanks for the aid,
encouragement and couslaut sup*
port, which'they have so kindly ex
tended, undeceiving though we have
been, except in an anxious desire to
do our duty and to please them.
If in the course of our management
anything has been done by us that
was improper and offensive, we
assure you that it was unintentional
on our part, and beg you tbs more
readily to forgive one who could
plead his minority.
To our Brethren of the Pross, w e
will Bay that our brief intercourse has
hecu, to us, likea sired in a garden
of flowers without thorns; and if
indeed, the thorns were there (as the
Philosopher tell us) then mnst you
have kindly interposed between them
and us,in consideration of our tender
years. In bidding you adieu, wessy
may God speed you , as “the Cham
pions of learning and the Guardians
of Liberty.”
Now leaving the HrRALnin charge
of our late Senior partner, Mr. W.
N. Benus, under whose guidance it
was sailing, ere we lent our feeble
arm, we wish it and him propicious
gales, and a prosperous voyage on
the ocean of journalism, whilst we
doff our editorial garb and join the
throng of our common fellow cltl-
tens. ^Smith.
A Heaping and a Quilting.
Mr. Jamea Johnson informs ns
of an old-fashioned reapiug and a
quilting which took place a few
days ago at the home of Mr, T. L.
JinkH. Of it. he says it was onb of
the most interesting and well con
ducted affairs he ever witnessed.
The day was most suitable for the
occasion and much good was ac
complished. There were nine era-
dlers in the field and each one did
their boat. The quiltiog was man
aged exclusively by the ladies who
did much skillful work with their
needle. But the most important
part of the day 'to him was the
dinner. It was a bountetnl one
with the beat chicken pye that was
ever spread before a iiungry set of
people. It was superinteoded by
Mrs. T. L. Jinks and Mrs. R. M
Garrett. There wero a large num
ber of children and graud-children
present,
