In our notice of tho calico party yester day we inadvertently stated that it was to bo given by the Sisters of Mercy. This, our readers must havo known was a mis- take, as the Sister* neither give nor at tend parties. Tho entertainment Is to bo given by the ladies of tho Iloman Catho lic Church, and tho beneficiaries are tho orphans who are under the benevolent care of the Sisters. It will bo a sort of a Christmas gift for tho oYphans, and will doubtless contribute greatly to their liap. piness and comfort. More Horse Thieving. Tho horse thieves inode another raid on the promises of Mr. C. It. Faulk, of Twiggs county, on tho night of tho 16th instant, and carried off a fine mule. A description of the mule will bo found in another column. Kvidently there U a gang of horse thioves operating in Twiggs, and tho citizens of that county ought to soo to it that tho rascals are caught and punished. A rigorous exam plo made of the first ono caught will de ter future operations of Lbatclioructcr, and the people will have comparatively little trouble in capturing ono if they will only set about it in the right manner and promptly. Mr. Faulk's stables hare been raided upon twice in about throe weeks. IIOMICIDK. A Former ItrHlilrut of .Hnron Killed.

A fine start was effected, 'Walter Johnston, after a few strokes, taking tho load by half a bait’s length, which lie kept through the first quarter, when Ar thur Hoard man regained his distance, and they pulled a half mile nose and noso; both of them handling the oars with such skill and precision as to attract the admiration of all present. Coming down tho last quarter Hoardman showed his advantage in experience, keeping-up a long, steady, persistent stroke, and won by a boat’s length—und the hardest rowing that ho ever did. Tho prixe, “ a pair of ponies,” was purchased of Mr. Engelke and properly presented to Mr. ltoardmau, but as Ar thur is not a skillful rider the Impression of his friends when he started homeward with them was that lie would soon he thrown. Quite a large crowd of ladies and gentlemen were present to witness the raoe, and were well pleased. queutiy the bishop vs. authorized to sign a memorial in behalf of tie* Confer ence. Her. O.

D., read a re port from a special committee with ref- ereneo^to Emory College. This report lias particular reference to the endow ment of $300,000 which it is proposed to raise for tho college. Tho report was ac companied by a circular appeal to the people in lielmlf of tho institution. Dr. Evans followed tho reading of tho report by a very earnest address in favor of vig orous action on the part of tho ministry and people in behalf of the college. Rev. J..O. A. Clark introduced resolu tions plodging the Confercneo to a hearty co-operation in tho work. Mr. Clark thought not only tho sum asked, hut a million can he raised for the college. Judge James Jackson, in rising to sec ond tho resolution, spoko very earnestly and eloquently in behalf of tho institu tion. Judge Jackson was followed by Bishop Pierce, who made somo interesting state ments respecting the College. One new building has lately been completed and finished, and another is about half-fin ished. It would have been finished and occupied now had not tho monetary cramp and his absenco from the State prevented. Ho hod visited all the Dis trict Conferences in tho State during tho year, and had raised in cash subscriptions und honorable pledges tho sum of $30,000. Twenty thousand more is needed, and it would he Ms first work to raise that amount. Ho had no doubt that it would ho mised, and ho gavo fair warning to nil that tlio required sum must bo forthcom ing. Tho Bishop said ho had somo se crets which ho did not intend to commit nicuto; but ho would assure them that tho Collego would liavo an endowment of $300,000, and that, too, sooner than any of them expected. Ho would havo a talo to tell, after nwhilo which would startle them—not in tho sense of fear—but to causo thorn to giro thanks to God. Dr. Lovett rnado a very touching talk for the College, ono that had tho doepest effect upon tho feolings of Conference. On motion of Rev. J. W. Ilinton the resolutions were reforred to tho Commit tee on Education. Dr. O. L. Smith reported a resolution from the Missionary Board, recommend ing tho separation of Homo and Foreign mission.
