PERsoNAL.-Wc were honored in the
fore part of the week with a call from
Prot. James McNaughton, recently Of
Mortified, Mimi, the new Principal
Of our city schools. Mr.. McNaughton
comes among us with the very best
credentials of character and ability as a
teacher. These are certainly verified by
his appearance and bearing, which is
that of quiet, modest, self-contained
gentleman We commend him to the
consideration and good offices of our
citizens
Hon. W. q. Donnan dropped into our
sanctum yesterday, in the old familiar
manner, much to our surprise, we must
confess, as we had understood that he
would spend the holiday recess in Wash
ington. He found the capital without
Congress rather Il dreary place; the
strong tics of home and friendship beck
oned him downward and he came. He is
looking well and hearty, and is, as usual,
thoroughly and enthusiastically absorbed
in the work before Congress and his own
duties and responsibilities connected
Herewith He will spend but few days
at home, and then return to his post.
AL. McEwen of tho Mitchell Co. Neaos
put in welcome appearance at these
headquarters on Christmas day. He re-
ports the Ne,cs on the up grade and
gaining, which certainly speaks well for
the Judgment of the people of Usage.

The RE-UNIoN.-Thc re union Of thu
pupils and teachers Of our City Gram
mar Schools, last Friday afternoon and
evening, was a grand success, and q
thoroughly enjoyable occasion for actors
and spectators. The afternoon exercises
were not so largely attended as those OF
the evening, but were Of an interesting
character, including an opening address
by Prof. Palmer, defamation by Geo.
Few, readings by Miss Rose Dickson,
and an essay by Miss Matte Lee.
The evening session attracted all audi
cncc equal to the full capacity of Wilcox
Hall. The exercises were opened by
prayer by Rev. W. S. Phelps, and music
by the school glce club, which acquit-
ted itself very acceptably. Mr.. Fred
Abbott the President Of the Association,
read paper maintained by literary
contributions by the school. Its con-
tents were not above criticism, but were
generally crcditablc and well received.
Following this came enc Of the most
agreeable incidents of the evening, q
song, accompanied by the piano, from a
"toddling, wee thing" the five year old
daughter of w. II. II. Morse. The ex-
preston with which the bright little
singer performed her part and the inno-
cent confidence with which she faced
the audience were delicious and elicted
a round of applause.
l.. w. Hart, Esq, who was down on
programme for history of the causes
which led to the establishment of our
city schools on their present basis. was
introduced and for half an hour enter
tanned the audiancc with pleasing re-
minisccnccs and happy hits. He traced
our schools from their small beginnings,
eighteen, years ago in the one little
brick school house on the spot now Oc-
cupied by the Jail, till now when they
occupy two palatial school buildings,
and have arrived at state of the high
est efficiency and usefulness.
Judge Rozcll followed with an adj
dress characterized by his usual sound
Judgment and replete with judicious sug-
gestions, with regard to schools and ed
ucation. Mr.. Palmer then embraced the
opportunity to speak in the character of
citizen and not a teacher, as hereto
fore. Abiding to his own near at hand
departure, he spoke with feeling of our
schools. the privilege he had enjoyed il
witnessing and contributing to their de-
velopmcnt and progress, and declared
that his interest in them would not end
with his going away. Mr. Palmer paid
a high and merited compliment to the
teachers with whom he had laborcd 80
long, commencing them to the continued
confidence and good will of the patrons
of the schools.
At the conclusion Of Mr.. Palmer's re-
marks Miss Emma Bntterield rose and
in a few we'll chosen words on behalf of
the teachers, presented Mr.. Palmer with
a fine watch and chain as token of re-
and regard. The worthy
reccinept accepted the gift and returned
his thanks in an appropriate manner,
after which, with music from the glec
club, the formal exercises of the Re
union closed

CHRISTMAS fcstal occasion pas
sed off in our city with the usual accom-
payments of church going, merry
king, present. giving, feasting and pleas
ant social gatherings, although the bitter
ness of the weather initiated somewhat
against the comfort of the OCCASION
Young America was in his and her glory,
of course; no untoward circumstances Of
weather is sufficient to dampcn the Zest
with which the youngsters enjoy the
Christmas season, with its presents, It's
frolics and pleasures of every kind. Con-
sldering how little it takes to send the
young blood tingling and the youthful
soul soaring into the seventh heaven OF
delight, the money spent at this season
in presents is u very judicious invest
ment.
Among the many pleasant Christmas
gatherings in our city, we presume none
was more enjoyable than the famiiy re-
union and Christmas tree at the resi-
dencc of s. S. Welch, Esq. Fourteen
children and grand. children were gather
ed under the patcrnal roof tree each
bringing dutiful tribute to tho kindly
host and hostess and an appetite that
BODIED no good to the bountiful board
abroad by the ever skilful hand ofmother.'
The attack commenced I'LL alone t he line
but ended as such contests usually do, in
the defeat of the assailants, who retired in
good order.
With the shades of evening came the
MERRY out about the Christmas tree. No
more fantastic, kindcr-hcartcd or sym
pathetic "Saint Mic" ever ministercd to
the delight of young and old than the go
NAL esquire" while in the chorus OF
"Thank you" and Just what | wanted
heard on all sides, "Grandma's' pleasant
voice blended like benedieAion. When
the time for parting came, and the kind
ly Good Night was said, all went to
their homes declaring it the happiest day
of the old year. Squire permit US to
wish you and yours many returns of the
JOYOUS occasion.

Ed. BuLLETIN.-Wc have got it, the
Epizootic, it is here in it's very worst
form. Everything in the shape ola horse
is noted for its running Qualitics-at the
nose. For this reason our people have
been patronizing extensively the old relia-
bic Foot and Walker line. A mule be-
longing to neighbor is in the fashion
and runs at the nose as natural as any
horse. His owner supposed that there
was enough of the stubborn blood Of his
father in him to render him proofagainst
the prevailing disorder, but, he is fash
ionable, and could not let it pass with
out a share.
Whew! but isn't it cold. This sitting
around, keeping fire, taking care of cpl
zootic horses, smoking, going to bed and
drcading to get up, is II dreary existence.
Why cannot fellow just hibernate
in a Rip Van Wrinkle snooze, until the
gentle breezes Of spring wake him.
Quite number OF our FARMERS Hhisneh
harvesting their corn last week, others
have portion of the crop out yet, and
arc waiting for the sun-dogs to return bc-
fore venturing out.
The musical talent OF our community
is being stimulated under the teaching
of Prof Arthur Baker. and rs we learn
with excellent success.
And span of horses belonging to s. I.
Spanglcr, few night since after safely
depositing the teacher at the school
house, took it into their heads to show
how little they regarded the cpizootic,
and getting the start = the driver ran
several rods No harm was done how
ever save the smashing Of one panel OF
fence into kIndling wood.

speedy and effectual cure. 1t is simply
to apply collodion to the parts affected

Our readers will remember that two
weeks ago in discussing the bill before
Congress granting Bounty lands to the
soldiers, we incidentally remarked that
We were compelled to differ with Mr..
Donnan, who supported the bill, for the
reason, as we then supposed, that it sac
riiced the principle Of granting the pub
lie lands only to actual settlers. The
Conservative caught at this straw, and
thcrcupon let off the following fling:
Representative Donnan, it seems, does
not please his party friends as much rs he
did before election. Two weeks ago the
Bulletin reprimanded him gently for.
speaking in favor of the Soldiers Bounty
Land Bill"
The plain inference from the above is
that had Mr.. Stoneman been successful
instead of Mr.. DOMAIN, the Conservative
would have given up its own personality
and independence and subscribed to his
every opinion on every imaginable sub
jcct in advance, playing the thick and
thin advocate and toady to perfection, or,
falling to do this, would have been his
enemy. Our neighbor is informed that
Mr. DOMAIN and all other public men
please us when they act up faithfully to
their honest convictions of duty. So long
as they do shis they will never receive
reprimand gentle or savage, at the hands
of the BULLETIN while we control it. 1t
is possible, however, that we shall occa-
sionally differ with very great and good
men on questions of public policy, sim
ply for the reason that our. opinions arc
intended to be convictions and not echoes.
If the Conservative cannot comprehend
this position, it is at liberty to make Il
god of any saint in the Democratic calen-
dar, and continue to take its principles
sccond-handcd.
