A CARD,
MARTIN COLLEGE,

uidShis leuu.3 Lee. 1871
In making a formal announcement
OF our resignation as Principal of this
| School, it is deemed due TO the Trustees.
as also to ourselves, to state to patrons
and the public, that this resignation
grew out of no misunderstanding or diff
ference between these gentlemen and
ourselves. On the contrary, our rela-
lations have been uniformly pleasant.
Inc resignation was our own act, and
not looked for by the Board. The cause
was, no building in which to teach.-
The cause of no building, "hard times''.
We manifested our humility on COM
ing to Pulaski by taking the lowest seat
In the synagogue, namely: the base
ment OF church, expecting in due time
Co be invited up higher. But even this
underground institution flourished, not
outstanding it was "celldr'', and
"stckty" p ut that. More than one hun
dred pupils have responded to rOll-cail
from the first month of our teaching on.
Whatever other sickness the Martin
School may have been charged with, il
was never "sick" for todat of PATRONAGE,
SCHOOLS are sometimes down with this
dlsease.) Mr.. Editor, suppose we had
been in house, instead OF a cellar!
Why, the school would have almost
amounted TO a respectable success. So,
we fold our arms in perfect satisfaction
as we look back upon our labOrs in con-
nection with this school. The position
was one of care and toll, but the re-
wards were satisfactory. The contest
was sharp, but the success deciStUe. We
take friendly leave of our Trustees,
bearing with us, as we believe, their
confidence and their good wishes. We
bow our grateful acknowledgements for
the generous support accorded us by
Pulaski and the good county of Giles.
We thank you, especially, our patrons
and friends, and take pleasure in ex-
pressing the conviction that Martin Col
lege goes into good hands. And we will
add that the hitherto 'fsickly'' subterra-
mean bantling, will, on the 18th Jan'y,
1875, be uHedrthed-"raised" FROM its
present lOtoly surroundings-trea to
gentle airing in the transit, and per-
manently nestled in the palatiai apart
ments Of Super-terTene structure
That is to say, the school will, on the
day aforesaid, emerge from its SepuLchrdI
confines, and esta blish itself in Gov,
Browns mansion, which place, notice is
hereby given, is above ground, and no
''cellar". 1t is hoped there will be no
mistake on this point, and it is also ex-
pected that plenty of fresh air will, in a
measure at least, rid the school of the
.iAF0CSIdtS dsplS AlaIlOu IasJeuOeu on
its vitals while in the cellar. When
our school shall eehUme herself, puE on
her "EGSteT" robes, and start on pill
grimage TO her new quarters, we shall
look wistfully after, regretting, as we
shall, to give up our troops of bright
and blooming maidens; glad, neverthe-
less of their transferrence from the slow
grounds of sorrow. Blessings be upon
their headsi Our sympathies follow
them to their new home, where it shall
be t0elI with them, under the guiding
hand of their worthy President.
w. X. JONES.

Christmas at Aspen Hin.

Mr.. EDITOR Pulaski Lodge of Good
Templars attended by invitation a
Christmas Treat at Aspen Hill on last
Thursday night. They were met at the
depot by delegation of smiling ladies,
and were parceled out to be taken care
of for the night. The tables were
spread in the church, and right beauti-
full they were, as they displayed the
rich loads of tempting viands to the
hungry Pulaskians. 1t was attended by
Good Templars from Prospect, Sharon
and elsewhere. (There are about 1000
Of these yalient knights and ladies in
Giles cOunty-nearly all of recent in
duction.) Rev. +. J. Tyler delivered a
short and pointed address, which was
well received. Mr.. w. H. White was
called upon for a speech, but unlike the
man who was too full for utterance, he
was too empty, being the hungriest
man on the spot. The large crowd
could hardly make an impression on the
table, so plentiful was the supply. As
pen Hill can now take the palm, as she
has the thanks of this end of the line
and OBSERVER.

An Immense Fortune.

There Is new rabbit firm in Pulaski.
They have procured pair of rabbits
from an improved stock, which sell at
five dollars pair. These RABBITS breed
every four weeks, and the young com
mence breeding ut four weeks of age.
A careful calculation shows, allowing
that the Increase shall be half male and
half female, that In twelve months, if
none are sold or die, the rabbit house
will contain 7,97O,7O9. The company
calculate that the crop of turnips of
Giles county win feed these rabbits the
first year, after which they intend to
drive them west, and finally buy the
Territory of Colorado for pasture. By
the time they reach Colorado there will
be host of rabbits that no man can
number. AT the end sc the second
year alone there will be on hand
10, Ass, 779, 7s5, OO7 rabbits.

TerrIbIe Cnnhneratinn

The st. Charles Hotel caught fire and
burned to ashes, with all its contents,
before day Tuesday morning before the
fire department could reach the scene of
desOlatiOn. The hotel was run by a
stock company of bedbugs, fIeas and
niggers, and there being no insurance
on the building and elegant furniture,
the total loss will not fall short of $500
clear gain to the town. The greatest
loss is the cremation of a host of pio-
neer bedbugs, that helped to bite our
fOrefathers when cutting cane from the
spot on which the structure was reared
in which they persisted: and the mint
of antideluvian fieas, that hoped from
cane to cane and warmed themselves in
the shirt-folds of the despots who dis
turbcd their slumbers in the sands of
lanyard branch in years agone. The
blessed niggers, too, are deprived OF a
rendezvous where they delighted to
perpetrate those sweet little diabolisms
which serve to make life endurable and
everything lovely. 1t will scarcely be
rebuilt. 1t was sad, sad mishap. 1t
was built on stills back of Odd Fellows
Hall. Its furniture was a jug and two
glasses. It's gone.

E8- We forgot to notify our friends
last week that we were open to an in
vitation to Christmas dinner, and then
we forgot that we hsdn't told them and
like Ounce opened Ourself for an invi-
tation, and here we are open yet and the
invitation hasn't come. Tomorrow is
New Years and Wen lay open until
then. If it don't come then we shall
have to close for repairs, for the wind
has whistled through and the rains
have beaten upon us as we lay all open
and exposed to the elements until the
tenement which enclosed our amiable
spirit is all battered and weather-beaten
like rotten old barn after tornado
When we do get closed, Christmas may
come, with its turkeys and stuffing, its
taters and gravy, its pancakes and mo-
lasses, just as often as it darn pleases,
but it'll take a crowbar to open us for
another invitation.

The New year.

Now is the time when the average
iead-pencil takes out his country editor
to sharpen his poeket-knife for the pur-
pose Of writing s treatise on the year to
come and to draw moral last years from
future lessons. We are one Of those.
La looking over the past year we see
much that we didn't do that might have
been better in future oblivion for great
moral teachings, and we draw consola-
ton from the past discrepancy OF moral
barkeepers to save sugar by furnishing
no spoons to stir up the fond recollec-
tons Of memory. o, what We might
have been If we had taken the pious
teachers Of advice and tipped up the
bloody chasm and made them waltz
around on their ears on the burning
Goals Of memory's waste, and torn the
shreds OF discord from the mantle Of
charity and scattered the poor to the
desolate isles OF alms-houses, and ale
houses, and sieh like. Then, o then, ia
the consciousness Of duty performed we
could enter upon the threshold Of an
other departing decade and bid the iIlu-
sions Of fresh oyster buildings and cock
tail hipjacks fly to the realms of etheri-
al vision and recall the happy periods as
they flew with insatiate mastication
from the aptitude to perform our duty.
The year just drawing to a head may
burst upon us in boiling heat, but Wen
never know how much eggnog they all
mixed till the hens lay their prisons to
the dawning breezes, and as the SHOWS
dampen the doors of poVerty-strieken
inValids, and the Louisville Lottery tells
the tale of the democratic rattlesnake
whose beams frightened the horizon of
our gallant Porter, then the veil shall
be rent in twain and we know how a
dozen spoiled oysters feel on the stOm-
ach of an aching understanding. The
bright prospects of Mulligan attain
ments enlivens the hardships Of depart
ing retrenchmeHts, and we can COM
placently regard with returning specie
resumption the hallucinations of party
cogitatiOns on European interference.
These thoughts beget solemn resolu-
tiohs to never use too much water with
our sugar, and if the eggs are rotten to
use fewer bitters, for the sweets of life
turn the sour apple of discord from the
tournament of Pacific Mail Committees
and retrench our obligations from too
many spoons in the same glass.
