is now fully organized and governed by the
| following ladies Mrs A. B. Newton, Direc
toress; Mrs j. NJ. Ireland, Assistant
Directories Miss A. E. Sheppard, Treas.
urer, and Miss NJ. Lytle, Secretary. This
society will no doubt render aid and comfort
to the toiworn soldier abroad, and remind
| him OF the loved ones at home. God speed
them in their good cause

that occasion. This school is connected
with the NJ f. Church, and under the able
supervision Of II. NJ. Ril, Esqr. The rev
teen dollars, which is to be applied to the
purchasing of a more extensive Library for
said school. The exercises of the evening,
as conducted by Messrs Quigley, Rill and
| Chandlee. were interesting and amusing
Much talent was manifested as well as quite
n display of oratory, which did much to
please Dad us well as Nam. All in all,
the affair argues well for both teachers and
pupils.
An accident occurred to one Thomas Poe,
employed in the grist mill at Gilpn's Falls,
in the early part Of last week, which proved
nearly fatal. The circumstances, as We
learned, are, that Mr. Poe was engaged
knocking ice from the water-wheel with u
large crobar, when of a sudden the wheel
started, striking the bar forcing the same
into the throat and jaw Of Mr. Poe to quite
an extent. So great was the injury that the
wounded man was insensible for long time.
We are glad to learn that Mr.. Poe is fast
recovering, under the care of DR.. Harry.
We neglected to mention in place the
change in proprietors of the stage line con

The erection of the Military Depot al
Perryvile created perfect influx of people
there for days, weeks and months. Now
that they are abou; being called into active

to get away. What bravery! What love Of
country do these men exhibit by thus turn,
ing their backs to their country now in hcl
darkest hour of trial o shame, where Is
thy blush! o consistency, where is thy
jewel!
A word or two about what is expected tc
happen ere long. First, one or two matri
monial affairs of high order, are said to be
near at hand. The exact time they are tC
come off seems to excite the curiosity OF
those who are always curious to know o.
these nicer doings. For ourselves we arc
content to take love easy and frequentl,
join in the chorus
Then let the wide world wag as it will
We'll be gay and happy still"
