A NARROW EscAPE.-On Satur-
day afternoon last, occurred one of
those miraculous escapes, so seldom
connected with the running away of
a herse.-As Miss Lauina Freer and
MissTIda Slocum were passing down
the Wooster road, towards Mr.. Slo-
GUMS residence, Mr.. Plank, and
and q gentleman whose name We did
not learn, overlook them near the
Fair Ground, and requested them to
get in their buggy, and they (the gentle
mem would walk to the lane leading
to Mr.. Slocum's residence The gen.
tlemen alighted from the buggy, the
ladies got in, and were not fairly
seated, when the horse took fright and
started with them at a dashing pace.
Miss -locum, not relishing a fast ride
under such circumstances, jumped
from the buggy before it had gone a
great distance; but Miss Freer, with
true bravery grasped the lines and
endeavored to stop the frightened
steed. Her efforts were vain ; and to
all appearances, both the horse and
Miss Freer were destined to sustain
some terrible injury ; perhaps death in
a horrible form. But neither was to
be; for as the horse Numbered down
the road, Nh. Henry Greshner heard
the enlightened cry of Miss Freer,
when she failed to stop the horse, and
ran out into the road with the intention
of stopping him. On came the horse,
and when. near enough, Mr.. Gresh.
ner grasped the bit, but the speed
was too headlong, and Mr.. Greshner

PARENTS, do you ever think how
your children and your neighbors
children spend their idle hours when
away from home? Boys of the age
offrom fifteen to twenty years, will not
spend their evenings at the home fire
side, be it ever so attractive Where
shall they go thenf They must have
some public place to go to. There is
no public reading room-no lectures
no moral and religious association
open to them-no place where they
can spend their time proftably-no
ft-place for them to congregate.-
There are plenty of groceries, saloons,
billiard rooms, and like places, which
are always open to them and where
they are made welcome. And there
are many who congregate there, form
ing bad habits and making bad ac-
quaintances, merely because they have
no other place to go to. 1t would
gricve the heart of many a parent if
they knew where and how their boy
spent his evenings. And who is most to
blame? Is it the boys or our citi-
zens? We answer most emphatically
that our citizens are running their sons,
because they are to careless or too
penurious to furnish an appropriate
place for the rising generation to spend
their evenings
A'few of our younger citizens are
trying to establish a resort for the
youth Of on town. The entertain
ment at the Hall, on Thursday eve
ming next, is for the purpose of en-
larging the Library and the fitting
up of a reading room. VIII our citi-
zens aid them in their effort in this
direction? We shall see.

BECOMING AN EPIDEMIC.-An ex-
change says that in its vicinity the
matrimonial fever is raging as an cpl
demic. If the terrible disease should
break out in this vicinity, we feel sat
.isfed that there are many "fair ones
who wound fall victim to it. Still there
are many here who have no fears of
it. Indeed, a port and pretty young
piece of calico remarked to US a few
evenings ago that she was not afraid
of it, and she thought it was an cpl
demic much needed in this region. On
reflection, we agreed with her, as we
know ofsome young men whose morals
and shirt buttons would be greatly
improved by an attack of the kind.
Of course We don't intend to be per-
sonal in u remarks, but still we feel
justified in saying SO.

OUR TRIP TO HOLLY SPRINGS.

Capt. NayerS, Of Handsboro, Major
Botto, of Natchcz, and host Of
genial spirits, were on hand, to
whom our space will not allow us
to pay the compliments which they
deserve. The convention was order
", peaceful and harmonious. But
one idea seemed to pervade the
! whole that was, to reduce the mem
bers of the Mississippi press to n
unit to make its literature pure and
. chaste as that of Addison; and to
5 increase the power for good that it
now exerts throughout the State.
