70 In pursuance of previous notice, meeting
of our citizens, was held at the Masonic Hall, to
consult upon the subject of making an effort to
establish high school or college, in or near this
place Some degree of unanimity seemed to
pervade the meeting, and we believe all were
convinced of the great advantages that would re-
suit to our town and community from such an in
stitution, but there was not that enthusiasm and
confidence in its practicability that is necessary
to give proper impulse to such an enterprise.
Rev. Mr. Taylor, f. p. Nicholson and G. w.
Guess, Esqs., addressed the meeting in pertinent
remarks, demonstrating the advantages to result
from the establishment Of an institution of high
order in our midst

and patronage of the meeting to gentleman in
Mississippi who proposes to establish an institu-
ton of this kind provided he can have sufficient
assurance of support.

We were present part of the time, but were
so overpowered by the array of beauty, lowell

tive to express what we want to say,) that we
find ourself wholly incapable of describing the
notable events of the day. We have confus
ed recollection OF white cloth spread out on o
carpet of living verdure, with maze of savory
viands and edible deicacies floating before us
and little green snakes coursing thereon
We left the scene Of feasting with a decided
opinion that the ladies' of Dallas are angels
and with vague fear that when they return
to their native homes, (heaven, of course,) they
will be assigned the kitchen, on account o
their skill in culinary matters Nectar ant
ambrosial fruits will be nowhere then.

s.T- The editor of the Pioneer is descantinp on


ID The editor of the Pioneer is descanting on
an inspiring theme-Man's inhumanity To-
hogs. According to the editor, all the hogs of
the Aourishing village of Fairfield are merciessly
left without any better shelter from sun or storm
than that afforded them underneath the Masonic
Hall, where they are so crowded as to be uncop-
Portable, and he fears, unhealthy. In proof Of
their bad situation, the young ladies of the acad-
envy say they "squeal necessarily" and the
inference is irresistible too, we think, that they
are much bitten by fieas, and have mt room to
scratch. The editor canvasses the chances Of
these heas going off on the aforesaid young ladies
and church. goers who assemble at the Hall on
Sundays; and concludes that though a great
many will be carried away by that means, that il
will prove no adequate and permanent remedy
The editor concludes his humane and kind. hearted
article by recommending that sheds be built
about the lodge, church, and other fit places for
such things &C., for the neglected hogs.
Will not some ardent admirer of the Queen
city quadruped, in this place, make an effort in
beba If of those neglected, vermin-eaten swine,
that abide under our Masonic Hall and entertain
SO many audiences with their plaintive and dis
tressful complaints
