Such gatherings as these are at all times pleasant and enjoyable but doubly fraught with happi ness are they when it is the reun ion of those who have escaped a bondage more miserable than the death of the damned and more lasting in its torments than hell itself. To see those men of intel igenoe, education, refinement and princi pal coming together publicly, like men, and with their noble wives and interesting children mingling mutual congratulations and re joicing over “The Modern Mirical” is a scene upon which the angels might gaze with tears of rapture.

A CALHOUN ROW. AND THE MARSHAL HAS DISAPPEARED FROM THAT CITY. A serious difficultv occurred on the streets of Calhoun one day last week, which may result in perma nent injury if not more serious re sults to one of the participants. City Marshal Harkins was tabling with Mr John King in reference to a set of taxes due the town, and a misunderstanding arose and some harsh words were spoken, and the Marshal struck Mr King on the left side of the head with his club,knock ing him down.

Mr. King went before Squire Hooper and swore out a warrant charging assault with intent to murder, The trial was set for the same afternoon, and pending trial a bond of SSO for his appearence was required of Mr. Harkins which was readi y given.
