In 1 t o. ir innocent simplicity they stood not j upon the strict rnies of conventionality, bat gave themselves up to the full en yi-icnt of the- evening, and to the look- : ci-to they presented a sight pleasing and instructive. I was there and can rrntufuiiy say that not at social gather-1 ii: -. or at the mazy dances of the beau- i tit al and graceful did I ever enjoy my-j . cl; so much. At an early hour they dis,. and and went home to spend the’ pi. ii-, ii. thi sleep of innocence and hap- H ho W oulun’l be an Editor ! Yesterday our amiable and generous friend Mis. 11. C. Roney, sent us a. ltu;-., magnificent ponnd cake, beauti fully trimmed with flowers, for which v,-c tip oitr hats with many thanks. With pardonable pride we exhibited our hand some present to our friends, and then carved it. Our young friend Ham, who was present, became enthusiastic while making half-moons in a huge slice, and, like the immortal Silas Wegg, laid aside the “Dcciiue and Fall of the Rooshin Empire,” and dropped into poetry with the following result ; (The <pu us tMtn Journal VOL. V. I want to be a printer, And with the printers stand ; A jug of ink before me, And a goose-quill iu my hand. I wish I was an editor, With half a yard of neck, I’d feast on melons, cakes and things, And peaches by the peck. The Colored Folks’ Barbecue, Saturday last was a gay and festive day with the short staple citizens of Thomson and vicinity. They had a celebration, a barbecue, a spelling laic, a torchlight precession and a tight, all in quick succession, beginning about 12 o’clock, m., and wound up the services with a “hop.” We were not present but understand that the whole affair was a grand success—except the fight. It seems that Ed. Smith and our old friend, Squire Scroggins had a slight misunder standing on the subject of “briled hog” and sheep hash, which led to blows and a ground scuffle. The “getmneu” were arrested and brought before the Mayor, who fined Ed. sls, and took the bridle off of the Squire and allowed him to trot home. But as the case is to under go another investigation we refrain from further remarks. An Accident. Richard Morris, aged about eight year , sou of Mrs. William Morris, of this place, was run over by a wagon, Friday afernoou last, on Main street, re ceiving serious injuries, and narrowly escaping death. Mr. Gerald’s wagon, loaded with lum ber,- was left in front of his gate, while the driver opened it. While doing so Richard climbed upon the lumber. The driver returned and, not observing the boy, started the team, when Richard jumped or fell off between the wheels, one of the hind wheels passing over his head, cutting a severe gash above the ear, and breaking the jawbone nciu- the chin. Dr. Durham was promptly sum moned, who set the fractured bones and dressed the wounds on the head. Though painfully, tin- boy is not dan gerously injured. A Sudden Marriage. Last Thursday forenoon, about 1) o’clock, his Honor, Judge Johnston, was startled by the appearance iu liis office of Henry Walsh and Mary Williams, who requested to be immediately hitched iu double harness. Some delay was occasioned in procuring license, during which quite a crowd collected to witness the interesting ceremony. The Judge, with his proverbial dignity and solem nity, tied the silken knot, and bit off’ the thread. The congratulations of liis Hon or were profuse and deeply touching. The happy twain then marched out into the cold, m.charitable world, to all ap pearances one flesh, while the sheriff, with tears in his eyes, murmured Two heads with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one— A double-barrel changed into A single-barrel gun. Tilt Thomson High School. The .Spring Term of this flourishing institution, which, since the death of the lamented Principal, Prof. Nathan A. Lewis, lias been conducted by Messrs. R. W. and Robert E. Neal, closed Fri day last. The School has been ably and success fully managed, as is evidenced by the rapid advancement and improvement of the students, and its great popularity. The Me- is.
