those Of the Pickett will come to light

The selections are made by vote of the

encourage our young friends in their ef-

to our readers, judging from what we
have seen Of them, that the lucubrations
of the young people will not be the
least interesting or attractive reading in
our columns. The first installment from
the Pickett society will appear next

The New PAsToR-Our rerders arc
already aware that the Baptist society Of
this city has extended callto Rev. F. A.
Marsh, recently Of Waverly, to become
their Pastor, and that he has accepted
and is now in charge. The following ap
preciative notice of Mr.. Marsh, from the
Waverly Independent, We can. testify
from our own acquaintance with him, is
not a particle exaggerated. Our people
will find him an earnest. Jealous, single
hearted man and christian, who enters
upon his work among us, with the purcst
motives and most exalted aspirations:
Waverly was never honored by q high
er minded and nobler young man than
Mr.. Marsh, and we regret his departure
from our midst. He is u bright scholar,
sociablc gentleman and worthy man.
We hear that it is probable he may go ia
Independence. Should the Baptist fra
ternity there employ him. they will find
in him true and noble christian gentle.

er, young Murphy was arraigncd before
Esq. Lee, in this city, who, after taking
testimony, at first deemed him fit SUBJ
.iect for the Reform School, and send him
before Judge Bagg, of the Circuit Court.
Upon further consideration of the case,
and the youth of the offender, it was
deemed best to remand him to the juris-

ter some good advice and admonition to
both the culprit and his parents, dschar.
ged him with the imposition Of small
fine, for the payment Of which the parents
entered into bonds.

that it is willing to give women the fran

tons of the county convection of the new
