Shandnl and lady, who had just moved into their new and elegant residence, gave a party to which all the citizens were invited. Many attended; indeed, quite a crowd of ladies and gentlemen, all of whom to an idle spectator like us, appeared to "enjoy them selves to an eminent degree. Two rooms were occupied by dancers, another was oc cupied by those fond of other amusements, cards, etc., etc.j two spacious piazzas were filled by those who neither duuccd nor played, for they had neither time nor space to talk to the ladies. We must say for Mr. Shandnl that he knows how to make his friends feel at home. At half past eleven o’clock supper was announced, whyro everything that an epicure could desire was spread out before os in great abundance, and prepared in the most deli cate and elegant style. Then it was that the elegont little hostess displayed her hos pitality in making every one, feel welcome. Wines of different kinds, and lemonade were lavishly distributed, and we all ate and drank and were satisfied, after which we wont to our little bed without help. o Out on Bull. J. W. Stulnaker, who has been impris oned in the Brooks county jail for some months, in default of bail, is now released on bond. The offence as charged, was, in the mind of the Judge who committed him, of such magnitude that he felt it his duty to demand a large bond, the amount we don’t know, but we do know that it was more than he could find sureties for. But such has been the rapid decline in his health that Dr. E. A. Jelks, who has kindly attended him during his imprison ment, without any hope of compensation for his services, gave as his opinion that fur ther imprisonment would.seriously impair his health, if not greatly endanger his life. Upon this representation to his Honor, E. R. Harden, in the exercise of a humane, us well as legal discretion, reduced the bond to such an amount as ho could give, which he gave on Thursday last, and is now at liberty. We are in favor of a rigid | enforcement of the law, but we are glad j to see noble instincts of humanity still exists in the breast of our Judge; and in this we think the act worthy of the highest commendation, aud all right think ing men will approve it. The Virginia Canvass. — The reports from the Virginia canvass indicate a full vote and an overwhelming Conservative triumph, General indignation is felt at the ! insolent attempt of the Administration to j control the politics of the State and organ ize there another Louisiana. The feeling aud the activity of the canvass will proba bly secure a majority larger than Governor Walker’s in 1869 for Kemper, the Conser vative candidate. Colonel Mosby says that. Kemper and the Conservative ticket will be elected by from twenty to thirty thou sand. It is said that if the Conservatives | carry the Legislature there will be a general concurrence ih favor of returning the Hon. R. M. T. Hunter to the United States Senate. Early and Davis. —Gen. Jubal A. Early, ! in a letter to the Lynchburg (Va.) liepub j lican, expresses his doubts as to the gen uineness of a recently published interview i between a correspondent and Jell', Davis,in which Mr. Davis is made to say many in | discreet and foolish tilings, among others ! a severe criticism of Longstreet. Gen. i Early says that he was with Mr. Davis at i the Virginia Springs where the reported 1 interviews occurred, and is on the most I intimate terms with him but heard no such i expressions as are attributed to him escape his lips. A Lawrence man allows his wife $5 a week for pin money, with the understand ing that she should forfeit ten cents for each absent button, and the same amount for each cup of poor coffee. This arrange ment has been going on for two years, and the day has not yet come when he could ! claim ten cents A Titusville Justice, sent for to marry a couple, discovered, just before reaching the house where the oeremony was to be per formed, tlmt it stood a few rods v ithin Ve nango county, in which he had no jurisdic tion. The wedding party therefore ad journed to an open lot, and there among the bushes the knot was tied. A little girl in Norwich, Conn., returned ft pocket-book contaning considerable money which she had found, and was re warded with a two-eeut postage stamp. —— mm—mmmmmm i.i - Q l?ITM A N 31AKKKT.
