HGA.An anonymous correspondent of the
State Sentinel, writing from Jackson coun-
ty, Jan. 5th, says that there is a deep-laid
plot amongst the Douglas Democrats, in
case the Administration men get possession
of the State Convention of the 18th, to
take the doors off the hinges and march a
mob into the Theater (where the Conven-
ton is to be held), and take possession. He
says the Adjutant General has promised to
have the armory secured tso that no arms
can be had to quell the mob" "Men have
been appointed to take the doors from the
hinges" The correspondent vouches for
the truth of what he writes.
If this letter had been written on the
first of April, it would have been regarded
as frst-class joke.

A LECTURE was delivered at Benin $
Commercial College, on Friday night, by
DR.. II. G. JONES, of this city, before good
audience Subject: Qualification of
Young Men," The speaker dilated on the
claims that society had on young men, and
the duties they owe themselves and their
country. He spoke of the excellent advan-
tages that young men of the present day
have for qualifying themselves for business.
They have all the experience of the past
and the appliances of modern civilization
to guide them. They have all the opportu-
mites for improvement that could be de-
sired, and it is their own fault if they donot
use them profitably.
In the course of his remarks, he said that
the Bible and newspapers, in connection
with a commercial education, were the chief
means necessary to fit young men for the
business of life.
Mr.. BENIN has weekly lectures in his In
stitution, upon various appropriate subjects,
by competent persons; and as the lectures
are free, they should be largely attended by
all who take Just pride in such an institu-
ton as Mr. B. has built up in our midst.
Some of these home lectures are of as
much interest as the average of those deliv-
cred by travelling lecturers.
