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. New Arrival. J. 8.

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, Butler Female College and MALE INSTITUTE. Commencement Exercises.
