FRsTIvAL.-Our Welsh citizens Of the Con-
gregational and Presbyterian denominations
proceeded 50 quietly to organize festival on
Tuesday evening last, that we We're not APP
prised of their intentions until we saw them
moving on the Court House in large numbers,
during the afternoon. armed with the most ef-
fectiye weapons for an easy conquest-goOd
things for the stomach's sake. After the pre-
lininaries were adequately arranged and the
supplies sumptuously and conveniently pro-
Yided, large number OF ladies and gentlemen,
boys and girls, appeared at the time appointed
for active operations, and the meeting was
formally opened by MIR. Richard Thomas as
Chairman, and prayer by Rev. Henry Rees.
The subsequent order Of exercises was about
asfoliows: Song; supper; solos, quartettes, and
ehoruses by the combined choirs Of the Cot
tonwood and Emporia churches. Rev. Mr..
Jones, for whose benefit the festival was gotten
up, made some appropriate remarks both in
Welsh and English; Mr.. Bachelor also made
n short speech, in which he assured our Welsh
friends of the high esteem In which they are
held us citizens by their American neighbors
The occasion was enjoyed immensely by all
present. Five large tablefuls OF the most rel.
ishable comforts were disposed Of to the salts
faction Of all who partook, and vnte Of thanks
was rendered, with great good feeling and
unanimity, to the ladies who prepared the
feast, and also to the committee Of
arrangements. The amount realized wa:
about two hundred dollars. II was regretted
that SO few Americans were present. Mr.
Jones, who receives the proceeds Of the
festival, has been preaching for the Congrega
tional church across the river for some tim,
without any remuneration, andit was through
that congregation the festival was projected
and by the aid OF the church in town, proved
TO be one OF the most pleasant affairs Of tn,
kind that has transpired in Emporia during
the season.

\ lamentable fire occurred in the Friends
settlement, west of the Seosho, last Sunday
night. Mr.. J. B. Morgan: with his wife and
elder children had gone TO meeting, on the Cot
tonwood, leaving seven small children athome,
and during their absence, the house caught
fire and was entirely consumed, together with
all its contents, the children barely escaping
with their lives, in their night clothes. The
night was a very cold and stormy one, and il
was with great difficulty the children were
taken by a neighbor to his own house, half a
mile distant. The family thus being left in a
destitute condition, the neighbors and people
in Americas have contributed some clothing,
provisions, money, etc, to relieve their neces-
stiles. r.

We heard of a couple of CONGREGATIONS being
suppressed in their infancy, the other day,
which, If they had not beer discovered until a
few minutes later, would have been famed by
the winds into irrepressible power. In both
instances the fire originated from ashes carried
out in the morning from the stoves. In one
case the ashes were put in barrel, hens
nest in the barrel took fire, and the fire was
communicated to the house; couple gentle
men, passing. saw the house on fire, and rush
ing in, found single pail Of water on the
premises. which very fortunately was sufficient
to queneh the fire. In the other case, the ashes
were thrown on the ground, and the Goals were
blown some distance and lodgedin some straw
and saw dust at the side of house; the straw
took fire speedily, and was discovered just in
time TO save the house. We SAW piles of ashes
on the street, during the week, taken from the
stoves in some of the stores before starting fire
in the morning. This should not be allowed
at all, but so long as it is permitted we would
suggest that the ashes be thoroughly wetted
before they are thrown out and exposed to the
winds.

Written for THE EHrOErA NEWS.


On last Tuesday evening accepted the fnvi-
tation OF some OF my Welsh friends to attend a
donation given by them, at the Court House,
for the benefit OF Rev. MIR. Jones, who formerly
preached for them in Emporia. This gentle
man has for many years devoted his time and
talents in preaching, and is said to be man OF
fine reputation as to abilities and worth. But
unfortunately for him and the church, he has
almost entirely lost HIS hearing, and conse-
quently his place has been filed by another,
and now, In his declining years, he has but lit
tie left from which TO obtain a SUPPORT.
On arriving at the Court House, 1 found il
literally crowded 10 overlooking, and more
lively, joyial gathering could hardly be found.
Every one seemed to enjoy themselves, and to
contribute all in their power to make the time
pass pleasantly with all who were present.
There was no stin formality there that so often
destroys all soeiable feelings at such gatherings
The supper prepared by the Welsh ladies was
one OF the best have ever seen. There SEEM
ed to be nothing lacking, either I'm quality or
quantity, and after all had been supplied,
don't know how many baskets full OF frag-
ments were left. During the evening we were
highly entertained with fine music. They GER
tainly have had good advantages in singing,
for such music Is only heard from those who
have cultivated voices
Before the company dispersed, Rev. Mr..
Jones, in a very feeling manner, acknowledged
his gratefulness to those who were present,
and who had seen fit to contribute to his ueees-
stiles, and especially TO his American friends,
who were there. In reply to what he said in
regard TO the Americans, Mr.. Bachelor re-
sponded, assuring him that all good people
sympathized with him, ana would at any time
render him any assistance in their power.
The nett proceeds OF the donation amounted
to SI6S.55, which will be Of great service to
him. Not only will it assist him pecuniarily,
but the fact that all his friends irrespective of
religious belief, were ready to help him, must
make him feel very thankful that his useful
life is appreciated by the community at large.

GOODBYE, OLD FRIEND.-The old EMPoRIA
NEWS hand press has been purchased by John
S. Gilmore, and will, in few days, be moved
to Guilford, Wilson county, where Mr.. Gill
more proposes to start a new paper-the Gull
ford Citizen We part with the old press re-
luctantly. 1t has been n friend TO us and TO
Emporia. Oh, how we have toiled and sweat
pulling it on many warm summer days. But
it had to give way for power press, and has
been useless in this office for several months.
We hope the new paper to be printed upon it
will meet with no worse luck than THE NEWS
has. In fact, we hope the CitizeA will not
have o contend with the difficulties we met
with in the earlier years of The NEWS. Mr..
Gilmore learned his trade in this office. He is
good printer, and if we mistake not, will
give the people of Wilson-which is one of the
most important and populous counties in
Southern Kansas number one local paper.
We hope the old press will do as good service
in Wilson as 1t has in Lyon, and that our young
friend Gilmore will meet with abundant sue
cess.

THE LIBRARY.-We spent few minutes in
the Z. L. A. Library yesterday morning, and
were highly gratiled with our observations.
No better or pleasanter room could have been
found In town, although IL is not so convenient
of access as 1t might belt being necessary 10
pass through Bates & Perley's drug store to
get to the library. This will be no serious OIL
kJection, however, rs the store will always be
open during the hours the library will be open
TO visitors. We found on the shelves about
$40 volumes, representing the best Of English
and American authors, deceased and living,
among which we noted 81 volumes Of Wash
ington Irving, II of Prescotts, the standard
historical books of Bancroft, Hume and others,
works of Carlyle, Hood, Byron, Shakespeare,
Moore, Burns, Longfellow, Bayard Taylor, va
rious and excellent CyclOpedias, and all man
ner Of miscellaneous works OF modern writers,
from the "hifalutin" est. Elmo" by Augusta J.
Evans, TO the Geology and Natural History OF
Agassiz. On the tables are all manner of peri
odicals, and the walls are hung with choice
pictures donated by Bates & Perley, among
which we noticed particularly the ehromos,
''Poor as Myself "Winter Night "Roeks Of
Killicuddy." and Stake Geneva" in fine gilt
frames; several magnificent steel plate engrav-
ings, among which were Maria and johann
nes," "Jesus Preaching the Doctrine" and a
couple Of very fine Autographs of George and
Martha Washington, not yet framed. The
books ordered and not yet received will swell
the number of volumes TO five hundred. The
Library Committee have discharged their duty
ofselecting and purchasing books in very cred
table manner. The character of the books are
good, both in literary and mechanical point
of view; the wonder is that So many, so good
and so well bound could be had for the money.
The thanks Of the society are due to the COM
mittee and to the liberal dealers, VA. Rose &
Co., of Leavenworth, OF whom the books were
bought.
Mrs. Hal n. Davis, lady ''eminently quail
fled and worthy to I'LL such 4 position, has
been engaged by the Directors as Librarian,
and she will be in the rooms from0 a. m. to IL,
and from to p. m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays
and Saturdays Of each week, and every even
ing, except Thursday and Sunday evenings,
from to o, to wait upon all who may be en-
titled to the benefits of the circulating library
or to afford others the opportunity of spending
AN hour or two in the room in reading books,
magazines or papers. We can assure our
friends that they will not find another place in
town where they will find more pleasant and
profitable pastime than in the Emporia Library
Association rooms, and we hope that its bene-
fits and privileges may be largely sought and
appreciated, and that the good beginnings of n
work so noble may rapidly develop into the
largest sphere of usefulness and honor, influ-
ence and fruits of perpetual beauty.
The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1870-03-18

Rev. T. Hill, District Secretary of the Board
of Home Missions OF the Pre- sbyterian church.
for Missouri and Kansas, on an exploring tour
down the Neosho and through the southern and
southwestern counties, stopped at Emporia
over sunday last, and delivered two very en-
tertaining sermons at the Presbyterian Hall.
He took for his text in the morning, "God re-
quireth that which is past" &c. iii, 10. Mr..
Hill showed how through after years disease,
deformity, and early decay testified to the vio-
lation Of the laws of nature. how moral intel
lectual and spiritual weakness results from
sinful habits how the power to be useful is
lost and never after made up through the neg
lect to improve early opportunities; and how
it becomes necessary to early adopt correct
habits of life in order to enlarge our influence
for good and live happily and secure heaven.
During the sermon he alluded TO the formative
condition of our young city, and very appro-
priately set forth the necessity of starting right
to easily preserve good government and be-
come great and prosperous, truth which ouI
citizens, In the selection of their officers, might
profitably consider before the city election.

Seven w-comers-four from Indiana, one
from Ohio, one from Milwaukee, and one from
England-arrived in Americas last Tuesday,
and we believe they will all remain here per-
manently. Three of these men are carpenters,
and have already taken contracts to build two
houses for other parties. They Will build
themselves houses I'm a short time, and bling
out their families-so they inform us. The bal
ance of the party are in pursuit of farms.

ALT. BURNErT.-This gentleman will give
two of his humorous entertainments at the
Court House on Monday and Tuesday next,
March 81 and %. As delineator of charac-
ter and humorist, Burnett has no superiors eN-
tant. His comic lecture on ''Woman's Rights y

There is nothing about this performance that
the most fastidious can object to. In addition

READING MATrER.-It must be evident to
all who observe that THE NEWS now gives
more reading matter than any county paper in
the State. Our paper, last week, published as
much reading matter rs would be contained in
three entire pages of the Tribune; or, i'll other
words, six columns more reading matter than
was given to the readers of that paper. We
don't make this statement for blow, but are
prepared to prove it. This being the case, it is
for the interest of every one to take THE NEWS.
