The Colossal Bronze Statue of trt which stands in the Park, at Lowell, the tomb of the first soidiers that fell in the revolution, is a lasting and tribute of art. It is one of the first sought by strangers visiting our sister which indeed many visit purposely to this elegant object of high art. It obtained from the King of Bavaria by J. C.

We would take the present opportunitv to return our heart-felt thank, to Mr. Charles Bergstrom, Mr. Trope and fam¬ ily, Mr. Golucke, and Col. W. F.

The names of these friends will ever hold a high place in our esteem, and we hope they |may ever meet with the kindness that they were so ready to extend to others. Crawfordville is famous sor its generous-hearted people, and we are ready to testify to Jth« noble 8 enerosit >’ of her citilens in our own half, and hope the sunshine of prosper ity may ever rest upon her, and that her borders may be enlarged. * other preparation Ml to, do, Hall's thehak am^sSlyV^tore, Us color when gray and faded.

Our county boarding house is now oc cupied by four colored gentlemen, Fred, Biggers, charged with misdemeanor ; Jim Simmons, charged with too great fondness for other people’s swine; Jim Stewart charged with making a mistake of houses, and as he found the door clos ed, broke in, which so pleased the prop er owner that lie caused the aforesaid Jim to lie put into a house, the door of which, so far, has wpvcn too strong for Jimmy to break down ; and last, but not least, Nelson Battle, charged witli murder.
