LOCAL MISCELLANY.
Farewell Supper to B. F. Beall.

Farewell Supper to B. F. Beall.
Several prominent and influential citizens
of our town determined to testify their APP
probation of our late townsman, and editor of
this paper, and their regret at his departure
from our midst by rendering complimentary
supper. Accordingly an elegant entertain
ment vas served pom the evening of the 7th
instant by Mr.. Gustav Brown, and the many
friends of Mr. Beall met him by invitation, and
extended to him their cordial sympathy and
good wishes for his new enterprise in the far
West Mr.. Ambrose Timberake presided,
and at his request in response to the first toast
in honor Of the guest, Daniel b. Lucas, Esq,
expressed in few brief remarks the kindly
feelings of his fellow citizens there assembled
to do the guest honor. We believe the whole
community will echo the opinion announced
by Mr.. Lucas that "the Spirit Of Jc6srso"
bad been conducted with signal ability and
absolute independence, aud had, under the
conduct of our departing friend, secured
reputation second to that of no country journal
In Virginia; or West Virginia" Mr.. Beall
responded in Il few appropriate and feeling
remarks, and. said that he would take to the
Rew duty assigned him the same energy and
devotion to principle which it had been his
aim to display in connection with the Spirit
IF J;fsrson and that he would carry with
him, wherever his fortunes might carry him,
the warmest recollection of his friends, and
the land of his nativity. Among the guests
were james w. Beller, the founder of the
Spirit of Jcferson, and H. Nelson Gallaher,
the remarkable editor of the iryinid Free
Press, and both Of these gentlemen contributed
to the interest of the occasion by appropriate
toasts aud happy remarks The health of
William II. Truvcrs Esq. being drank, that
gentleman responded in some eloquent re-
marks fully endorsing the sentiments before
expressed in reference to Dir. Bcall's ability
aud fidelity. displayed in his conduct of the
Spirit of J,Glrscn. Thomas c. Green, Esq,
responded to q toast in honor of the leSa!
profession, DIR. Mason to one in honor Of the
medical and Mcssrs Strider, ShCc'z, Nc
Eroy and others added to the universal enjoy
ment of the occasion by appropriate remarks.
