Members heretofore specially notified will take par ticular notice. Vetbum sat tapienti. Take notice and govern yourselves accordingly By order of Lodge. 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.
