SnooriSG OF CuIEF-oF- Police, WIN. Nj
DAyIs.-The unusual quiet Of our little
city was thrown into excitement on Mon
day night by one ofthose horrible ARRAYS
that anon startlc community.
Chicf. of. Police, Wm. Nj. Davis, had ar
rested soldier, and while on the way to
the calaboose with him, about ten O'Clock
at night, the prisoner attempted to escape.
This occurred at the corner of Rock and
Markham streets Another soldier came
to the rescue, and with raised club at
tempted to free the prisoner The latter
falling to get rid Of the officer, and while
the latter's attention was drawn off by the
former, drew a pistol and shot the officer!
the ball passing in at the light side, and
innicting dangerous, and it is feared ia
tai wound. The prisoner and his accom-
plice then got away, but were afterwards
arrested; also another one who was
standing near, and the three are now con.
fined in Jail. The name Of the party who
did the shooting was George Brayman--
his accompliccs, John Mansbeaker and
VIM. Lenheart. R. Gszeue.

Van Buren, Academy

The first term Of five months in this
institution was terminated on Friday last
by an exhibition of the talent Of the pu
pills for compositions and declamstions
This school is under the watchful care OF
those thorough and accomplished in
structors, Mrs. ADA BARBOUR ss Princi.
pal, and Mr. w. j. ALEXANDER as Assist
ant
The main room OF the building, hand
somely furnished with patent desks and
seats, was crowded with the citizens OF
our town. All manifested a deep and live
ly interest in the exercises, and were
fully repaid for their attendance. We
venture to say none were disappointed,
uuless it be that the pupils far exceeded
the expectations Of the audience. We
have never known children TO acquit
themselves better. The manner of the
delivery and the general GOODNESS Of the
pupils, manifestly showed the untiring la
Dor bestowed by the teachers. The pieces
were also well memorized, and all who
know anything of these things must have
been convinced, that great patience and
forbcarance had been required in drilling
for the exercises. 1t is no small under
taking to prepare the young for the or
deal of public exhibition like the one Of
Friday last. A child must be thorough
Nv drillcd-much time and labor bestow
od, by teachers, before he or she gets to
the point Of confidence in self, required
to carry thcm through long recitation,
before crowded house.
1t would be unjust to mention special
ly any ono of the many excellent per-
formanccs. Ali were good-but at the
risk OF being pronounced partial, we
must mention the recitation Of "Genev-
ra," from Rogers Italy" as excelling
anything we have ever heard from so
young q child. This piece was recited
by little daughter Of our townsman
james NJ. Wood. The compositions were
very good also. And we will refrain
from any special mention. After the
rccitations and reading of compositions
had been concluded, the Principal of the
Academy read out the " demerits,' show
ing the grade ofpunctuality and behavior
of each pupil. And here we must speak
OF one young lady, Miss Holloman, who
had passed through an entire term of
twenty weeks without having received a
single /" demerit." Her example is worthy
the imitation of all the pupils, and should
inspire them with noble ambition, that
will lead them to excel in punctuality and
behavior, the next term.
The parents and friends who have at.
tended the entire examinations Of the pu
pills in this school, seem to be fully and
entirely satisfied with the teachers and the
progress made by the children. We car
all see now that Van Buren, can have fine
schools, if we will only try to have them

AupIroRs OFFICE, STATE OF ARK,
Little Rock, June l6, 1869
The list of lands in your county re-
naming in this Office, as having been for
feited to the State for non-payment OF
taxes, was forwarded to the County
Clerks soon after the lists Of original en-
trys were sent out for taxation; and the
clerks were instructed to compare said
forfeited list with the general list of tax
able lands, and mark each tract thus re-
naming forfeited SO that none of such
forfeited list should be advertised or sold.
!, therefore, specially call the attention
Of the County Clerks and Collectors to
this matter, to the end that none OF such
| forfeited lands are to he advertised OF
sold for the taxes Of 1868, nor for any
subsequent year until redeemed, or unit
further notice from this office. The taxes
on the forfeited lands are not collectabl,
in the counties until the next year after
they are redeemed, Of which redemption
the County Clerks are notified from time
to time. is, therefore, the duty OF the
clerk and collector Cif they have not al
ready done so) to compare the forfeited
list aforesaid with delinquent list return
ed to the collector, and mark each trac
thus forfeited and in no case is any trac
of such forfeited list to be advertised O.
sold.
1t is important to the proper owners
Of these lands and to those that nigh
purchase tax sale, TO prevent litigation
etc. and to the State and counties, in th'
matter of unnecessary expenses, tina
these, together with my former instruc
tons, be strictly needed by the Count,
