Ou* whole community is sad over the dangerous snd almost hopeless illness of U. L. Weston, former ju nior editor of the Journal. To morrow be was to have been united In marriage to one of Dawson’s brightest, most useful and lovely ladies,hut at pro-ent, unconscious, he lies st the very gates of death, heedless of the approach of the dark rolling waves,bccdlrss of tears and prayers. But He doelh all things well. In Ilis hands we leave him. The Commercial Department ol the College tins matriculated two young ladles. We are delighted to know this, snd wish them all sue. , cess. The boys will have to put on thinking caps. Onr merchants arc cheerful, gone to work with renewed ardor, bene fitted by the lessons taught them by stern experience. Sunday evening is a favorito time for buggy riding in our little city, snd Cullcgo Avenue can boast of some elegant "turn outs” drawn by beautiful horses. Gallant boys and ladies fair mske tho “out Bt" complete. No artesian water yet, and good many wells minus water, notwith standing the heavy rains. There isacslm after every storm, and hence, this week breezy, bright days of sunshine, blue skies, and a temperature that .reminds us of s young May day. In onr afternoon rides, we see the “two nines" on Collcgp Hill, “hatting and balling" with all the ardor and ambition or perfect physical development, and an interne zeal to “score as many* innings” ss possible, it isn pleasing sight, and the observer can easily determine the character, by the action displayed, you can Rad determination, vim, and ener gy Inaome, which promiaea well for foture success In life. In oth ers “inene, mene, tekel upharrin" is as plainly written ss upon the fa- mous city of Babylon of old. So many boys there are, in our beau tiful Southern land, who are blots upon its fair surface, satisfied to plod slong the old beaten tracks, destitute of ambition, with no as pirations after what is noble, vir tuous, and great, creatures of ap petite, pondering to the baser ap petites, snd caring nothing for the cultivation of tho mind. Their souls an dead within them. What a pity, and there Is but one reme dy—education. Yet eo very few realize and appreciate tho fact. It Is so much easier to spend two dol lars for n pleasant drive, than to pay n months tuition; so muoh more gratfying to watch the smoke of two dozen fragrant Havana’s, curling upwnrl, than to buy a few needfol hooka for the little, eager, earnest aspirant after'knowledge; no much more satisfying to the in ner man to drink half a dozen bot tle of beer, than to purchase ap propriate elntblng before starting to school. Ah, parents, a fearful responsibility is reetinc upon yon; the souls of your children, many of them, cry to yon from the shad' owy land, snd call to you for an acoount. How can you answer for your criminal indifference, care lessness snd neglect. Think of It. Cmtivate the mind* of your chil dren, open the windows of their souls that beautiful and chaste thoughts can find an indwelling. Fill the Colleges and schools all over the country with Inmates, and ignorance and vice-will hide their Heads in shame, and those most dear to you will reflect honor upon you, them»elvcs, and upon their country.

There is a diversity of opinion as to wbotber the oat orop was killed or not, but one thing is cer tain snd that is that it was serious ly damaged. Oats sown in Janu ary yield more anyhow.
