Welles and his family, and followed, also, by his
suite in open carriages The City Troop escorted

Chestnut street, as the party drove slowly down
the street, there was not much demonstration
of any kind. The hour was most too early, and
the business portion of the community were at
home eating their breakfast. Severa! hundred
persons however, followed on the side walks
eager TO get glimpse at the features of the
President and the old ADMIRAL aud General
Grant. There was an entire absence OF cheering
or any noisy demonstration whatever, and no
one square off would have been aware of the
presence of the distinguished party.

From our Reporter in that Town.

ACEXowLEDG GMENT.-We regret to be
compcllcd to decline the graceful lnVl-
tation of our old chumS of Clinton Acadc-
my to be present at a meeting OF the
alumni at the approaching commencement.
Nothing could be more gratifying 10 us
than reunion with those whom we re-
member with the most lively emotions OF
kindness, and the recollection of whom Is
undimmed by single untoward clrculn-
stance. Among the committee are the
names of many endcared to us by count
less acts of kindness; and there are others
equally as dear "who have crossed over
the river to rest under the shade of the
trees" To be at this meeting would be
to us a matter both of pride and pleasure,
but our business engagements preclude
the possibility Of a trip To distant Mis-
sissipp at present. Though absent in
person. we shall be with them in spirit, and
trrvently wish them all the happiness that
this life can beStow. To the many fair
ones whom our aching heart remembers III
that sunny land, we send our greetings
and our earnest wishes for their welfare
and happiness.

panyi We have an indiStinct recollection
of one having been organized some time
ago, with +. J Mannas foreman, and James

worthless If they have not time to attend
to their duties, let others be chosen. 1t is
burning shame to the town that we have
no fire department! In case of a contia-
grafton we would be completely at the
mercy of the deyouring element. Let
something be done quickly. Where are
Chief Engineer Whitworth and Fire Ward
ems Bradley and Holt. Gentlemen, we are
after you.
SAD BEREAvEMENT.-Al large circle of
friends and acquaintanceS were greatly
grievcd by the announcement Of the death
of little Sallie, the beautiful and interesting
daughter of our esteemed townsman +. L.
Pilkinton, Esq. She was child of un-
common promise, and greatly beloved by
all who knew her. At the late concert OF
the Methodist Church she was one OF the
greatest attractions, and her sweet voice
greatly enhanced the interest of the occa-
sion. She has now gone to join III songs OF
eternal praise with the angelic chorlSterS
around our SaviOur's throne, and has LETT a
void in many sorrowing heart that will
not be speedily filled. May she rest in
peace!
PHILoLoGIASs.-We arc requested to in
form this honorable body that the pune
tual attendance of every mothers son OF
them is requested at their rendezvous on
Friday night, ut o'clock, as business OF
vital Importance will be considered. All
candidates who have been elected Will also
present themselves. No excuse whatever
will be received, and VIC expect capltai
punishment will be inflicted on all ao-
sentecs. Therefore word to the wise Is
sufficient.

Outrage BY 4 NEGRo-THE SC0rNDREL
UUSG.-We are informed by gentleman
from Nelson county that u negro man,
whose name was unknown, attempted 10
commit an outrage on a highly respectable
Young lady residing near Faber'S mill, III
that county, on Tuesday morning last, but
was foiled in his diabolical purpose by the
approach of some OF the lady's trlcnds.
The lady, it appears, is engaged III teach
inc school a short distance from the house
of her parents. On the morning i'll ques-
ton she was proceeding towards the
school-house by path which ran for some
distance through body OF woods, when
she was met by the negro, who SclZcd her
bv the throat and commenced To choke her.
The screams and cries of the lady were
heard at the house, and her friends rushed
10 her assistance. The negro heard them
coming, and at once ran oil. Pursuit was
made, but without effect. Parties of men,
however, who had been notified OF the at
tempted outrage, secured the surrounding
country, and during the night of Tuesday
the villain was found, and without delay
was hung to the limb of a tree, and left
hanging, not far from the scene of his at
tempted violence. The verdict OF all re-
spectablc people will be: "Servcd him
right"
For obvious reasons, we do not give the
name of the young lady who thus SO iortu-
natcly escaped q horrible tate.-Lp'chb"ry
