G. W. Henderson, Sec’y.
Thkr* ia a movement on foot to bnild a
new academy, and jndzing from the interest
that is beine taken in the matter by some of
oar citizens, the enterprise will assume
tangible shape ere long. Between three and
fonr hundred dollars hnve been subscribed
already, and there is hardly any doubt hot
that the necessary amount will be raised in
due time. Subscription Jnts hare been
placed in the hands of Messrs. R T Harper
and A. J. Henderson, who will gladly re
ceive the names of those desiring to assist in
the enterprise.
It is our sad duty to chronicle the death
of Mr. J. G Hughes, an old resident of this
place, which occurred last Sunday morning,
quite suddenly. He was in his usual health
Saturday night, and did not complain of he
ing ill until about 3 o’clock next morning,
when he was seized with a severe pain in
the side. I)r. Tnrntpeeed was called in, but
found his patient already beyond the reach
of medical skill when he arrived, and in less
than two hours he was dead. His remains
were interred in the family burying-ground
Monday afternoon, at 4 o’clock.
Thb neighborhood of Stock brdge was
the scene, a few days since, of the most
shocking outrage that we have ever been
called upon to notice. A fiend in human
shape, who goes by the name of “Babe”
Cochran, attempted to commit a rape upon
the p rson of his little neice, a child not
more than twelve years of age ; and was only
defeated in his purpose by the heroic resist
ance of his victim—who, wild with terror,
mnnaged to elude his gra«p and make her
escape. Unfortunately, he was allowed to
get away, and has not been seen since.
Hanging would be too good for such a mean,
unconscionable villain, and we shall not cease
our prayers until he does get bis just deserts
Some one has suggested the practicability
of organizing a hook and ladder company in
our city. In the absence of any organiz'd
plan or system whatever for the protection
of property against the ravages of fire, the
necessity for some such organization is cer
tainly apparent, and should meet with the
attention that its importance demands. A
hook and ladder company could be fully
equipped at a cost of not more than a hun
dred dollars, ar.d it might be the means of
saving thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty. A fire, once under headway in the
business part of town, would be fraught with
the most direful consequences, so compact
are the numerous blocks of buildings which
line our princpal thoroughfare. Verbum

PLEASE give me yonr attention while I
throw out some strong, broad remarks,
full ol interest, if economy forms any part ol
the new leaf you have pledged yourself to
turn over at the beginning of the year. 1
will begin by telling you (though it is hardly
necessary,) that the country has resumed
specie payments, and that it will materially
change the monied values of ail articles of
merchandise. It is bound to bring every
thing down to what is called SOLID HOCK
BOTTOM. I will add in this connection
that I have in store and shall be constantly
receiving, at intervals to suit the seasons, a
superior line of goods, comprising all articles
usually kept in a Dry Good* and Grocery
Store, and if you are a lover of Nico Goods
and Low Prices, tou can’t fail to appreciate
my efforts to please the public in every way.
Because resumption placed gold at par,
you must not get it into your head that I atn
too proud to take it. On the contrary,
gold, silver or greenbacks arc alike to me.
1 take any legal mouey that is offered, and
agree to give in exchange the best equiva
lent that can be had in this market. Give

Fair dealing helps trade better than fair
