That serenade.

We tender our Acknowledgements TO
the Millersburg Democratic Band for their
handsome compliment on the evening of
the Band Convention. We regret that
we were not at home 60 extend to them
the hospitaliiics it would, have given us
pleasure to do. Their music is said to
have been soul-stirring and melting, show
ing that they were masters Of their instrul
ments; and as citizens, we are pleased to
learn; they are gentlemen in every sense
of the word. By the way, this splendid
Band which was n1agnifcently equipped in
the way Of a. carriage, DC, took the first
prize in the second class Mt the Convention.

& (; How THEY THEY TOOK If.1A correspondent
Of the Cleveland Herald writing FROM Ely
iria, says that the Kentucky kidnappers in
Jail at that place, were playing eiichre
when they received the news that Judge
Wilson had refused to liberate them upon
habeas corpus. The devout exclamation
of the good Jennings in this extremity,
was characteristic. He dropped his cards
and cried out: "J-s Cb-t" | would
like to know what law IS" He probably
will, before his case is disposed of.

LEVIN b. HILL .-

Dr. Hill, the. member from Perry county, sits about midway down the left hand aisle of the House. He is tall, we'll formed with large head, expressive and strongly marked face, and Q remarkably bright eye. The Doctor is about fifty yeaas of age, yet bears his age well. He has been married twice. and is now widower Was born in East Tennessee, but when youth moved to the western district of that state In 1852 he came to Arkansas, and settled in Perry county, where he still resides and has an ex- tensve practice as physician, besides carrying on farm.
 As a politician, the member from Perry is a hardshell democrat and has ever been so.- There is no tinsel or foil, no paint or varnish about the man. His blows are all sledge ham, msr ones He is direct, energetic, plain and earnest. No one questions his honesty or firm ness As speaker he has good command of language, yet disdains ornament, and grapples the subject in the middle. As has been truly said of him, he has great fund of common sense," his mind being practical, direct and matter of fact. He is always listened to with attention, and has great deal of influence, both in the House and committee rooms. His ster- ling qualities as a man and as legislator are justly appreciated at home. He is very unas- suming. unambtious, and content with any po- sition the people place him in. His course has been such as to win the respect of all and even the enemies of the democratic party seek in vain to find flaw in the character of Dr. Hill, either as private citizen or in his public life.

 do not know, but believe that the member from Desha is "one of the family" If so, may be trespassing upon your patience to ask 0 portion of your columns in writing of this gen. tlemanr But at that risk, I venture to make some remarks concerning him and his labor, du- ring the present session for the benefit of his constituents. MT Johnson is about thirty years of age; of sangune, nervous temperament; moves quickly; talks loudly and emphatically and in many respects, shows that he is man of great energy. He is Kentuckian, heavy from planter and is man of family.
 He has worked hard for the people of his section of the country, and has mastered the de- tails and working of the swamp land system His levee bill for the county of Desha, and which has been extended so as to provide for the county of Phillips, has passed. In this measure he was warmly seconded by the able from Phillips county
 He has another measure, to improve the na- vigation, or rather to make navigable, Bayou Bartholomew, to the Jefferson county line.- Another measure of his, which is to attach a portion of Desha county. west of the bayou, to Drew county, cannot succeed until the consti- tuition of the state is so amended as to admit of it. MT. Johnson is bold, emphatic, energet- tic speaker, is direct even to bluntness and wears his heart outside that all men may read

THE THEATRE-The present week closes the season. Some benefits will be taken during next week, among them Mir. Mulholland's, Mr. Huntley's, and the treasurer's, MT. Griffith's. Mccarthy is still performing to full houses, and sings, dances and acts in his own inimitable way. His songs alone are worth the price of admission. He is clever, accomplished man; versatile actor, abounding with humor, full of quips, cranks, jokes and oddities. It is useless to wish him success wherever he goes, for his abilities will command it.
 Mr. Mulholand takes benefit next week. To those who saw him in the "Old Guard" and the " Irish Lion," we need not mention his merits We hope to see full turn out on that occasion.
