80 A friend of ours who left here
a few weeks since with his family,
with bright and sparkling hopes of
happiness and prosperity in the
broad West, returned last week
with his wife and little ones, salts
fed to make Fayette County his
home in the future. He stopped
for a while at Kansas City; but
they have a habit there that was
not exactly to his taste, as we learn.
He says in that city they think
they have executed a poor nights
work If about three individuals are
not the defunct victims of Rankin
the tabled man-killer." We heart
ily welcome our old friend back to
the land of personal safety and
plenty of life-sustaining, elements.
- Rev. D. A. Randall, on Mon.
day evening last concluded his Sc
ries of four lectures at the Baptist
Church in this place. His fourth
and last lecture was on Paris, but
more particularly on the great Paris
Exposition of 1857. Mr.. R.'s lee
lures were all of them of a very in
5eresting character, and, he has a
rare faculty of explaining what he
has seen in foreign countries in
'uch Q manner as TO insure the at
,ention of his audience, and carry
lis hearers along with him, and
make the various scenes he de-
'cribes almost visible. His descrip-
ion of the great Exposition was
grand indeed, and those who did
lot hear him, failed to hear what
was really a rich feast. We regret
hat more OF our citizens did not
Iys!!ll themselves Of the opportunity
# listening to these most excellen;
eetures. There was a style of ease
nd familiarity about them that is
lot often found in public lectures.
