MILLERsBRRG BAND.-Our citizens
have always had occasion to he proud
of our Band, particularly so after their
return from being abroad. Our ex-
changes always contain fiattering
testimonials of their ability wherever
they appeared. 1t has become uni
versal custom throughout the country
for all Bands to wear uniforms. And
among Is Bands in attendance upon the
tniuSufation cerem onies as Columbus,
Jan. 18th, ours was the only one not
uniformed, and our boys seem to have
lost interest in their organization on
that account since that time. We un-
derstand a movement is oil foot among
our citizens to show their appreciation
of the services of the Band i'm the past
by raising funds to procure uniforms
for them. We think this step is highly
commendable and should meet with "a
hearty approval from all friends of the
Band. a-tl.rr -et

b, PLAYING SHARON Saturday last
two young chaps from near Mayesville,
thought to play sharp on Conductor
Peobles, but the trick would not work.
They had purchased tickets for Cleve-
land and return, from Apple Creek. AT
ter leaving Orrville the Conductor took
up their tickets. When the train stop
ed at Apple Creek they sat still, and
wished to ride to Fredericksburg. When
the Conductor came around, he iroused
up the first one, who pretended to be
asleep, and demanded the fare. He
muttered something, but seeing that
Pebbles understood him, handed evei
the extra fare. Coming to the next, ht
said that he had given him his ticket te
Fredericksburg. The Conductor polite.
ly Informed him that his ticket was tt
Apple Creek, and requested him tt
hand over the fare, which he did. Thil
was about the thinest trick we have seer
for some time. The passengers wer,
considerably amused.

shot and mortally wounded DR..
Conrad, of North Benton. The man
fired from an upper window at the
doctor, who was in his yard. He
then fired two shots at another man
who was coming up the road, Meth
er of them taking effect. DR.. Con-
rad survived his wounds but few
hours. Hartzel has for some time
been crazy, and said that the reason
for his crime was that the men he
shot had been instrumental in send

SCHOOL CLosED.-On Wedn esdav last,
after a pleasant and instructive session,
Prof. Jones' Select School was closed.
The pupils all showed evidence of hav-
ing profited by the Professors diligent
Efforts to instruct, and instead ofevinc-
ing that situation, which is generally
displayed at the close of the term on be-
ing again at liberty. and free from in
tellectual toll, there seemed to be an
almost unanimous feeling of discount
ent that the pleasant days had passed
and gone and that the fountain Of
knowledge was closed to them for a
season.
The system adopted by the Professor
in his school is something entirely new
and original, and is attended with the
most satisfactory results. 1t is an item
of regret that we will be unable to re-
tain him in our city longer than Sep
tember when he goes to Mfllersburg to
take charge of the public schools in
that place.-Shrere Journal.

THE LEAGUE EPIDEMIC.

The great panacea has been discovered
at last, by some Of the white people of st.
Mary parish. All the ills that beset the
fertile regions Of the Teche country are to
be cured efectually through the instru-
mentality of league-a White League.
We have been favored by a friend
with a printed copy of the "Pro-
gramme and Declaration of Princi-
ples," to which is added a copy of the
"By-laws of Franklin White League No.
L." Of the same parish. Here, then, we
have as good as official advices that some
of the white people Of an important parish
are attempting to band themselves together
in a league which has for its object the
exclusion Of colored people from public
Office, and, to some extent, from private
employment But this announcement,
fortified as it is by indisputable evil
dence, will not create such a sensation
in this city or anywhere else as did
the entirely baseless report that the
Picaynne published the other day, that
the colored people Of the city had en-
tered into similar arrangement among
themselves. It will not create any ex-
element at all, because it is well known
that the name adopted by limited num-
Der of people does not increase the voting
force, nor does their formation into a
voluntary league hold them against their
true interests. If the peace and happi-
ness of majority of the people Of St.
Mary are disturbed by the action of the
minority in selecting candidates for of.
fee, they can apply the appropriate REM
edy without resorting to league for the
purpose. If they are not in a majority
before the league is formed, we can not
see how they expect to become so after

OUR MISTRESS NICKEL-3Y.

We have been asked why we deem this
appellat;on applicable to our sensational
contemporary. It is not entirely because
of that inordinate appetite for nlckels,
which gets up daily heading OF crime as
sample of our society. 1t is not en-
tirely because of rambling and inco-
herent drifting off into consequences
neither foretold nor to have been expected
from the headings. The propriety OF the
appellation has been recalled by the ter
ror stricken into the sensational columns
of our neighbor by the apprehended mas
sacre in our midst. The scene which
especially required to our memory was
the sudden apparition Of the lunatic
A large cucumber was. seen to shoot up
into the air with the velocity OF SKY
rocket, whence it descended, turning over
and over until it descended to Mrs. MCKEE
by's feet This was the premOnitOry dis
charge Of shower of vegetables which
darkened the air, and then came the appa-
ritlon Of an old velvet cap, gradually toll
lowed by very large head and an old face,
in which were pair of most extraordinary
gray eyes, most ugly to behold. very
good" said this apparition, raising Its
voice, ''tnen bring in the bottled
lightning, clean tum6ler and a cork
screw" He subsequently demanded q
thunder sandwich; becoming confidential,
he said to Mrs. Nickleby: Il have enemies
about me, madam (he looked toward the
house and spoke very low. who attack me
on all occasions and wish to secure my
property. You can apply to the Lord Chan
sending nv tOothpick to the coInmander-ln-
chief will be sufficient"
This sensational lunatic was subse-
quently arrested by the troops, and every
one except Mrs. Nickelby was convinced
that his exaggerated statements of the
dangers which surrounded him were but
the visions Of distsmpered imagination.
That excellent and credulous lady, how
ever, would never admit that she had

son of great repute, unjustly oppressed
by a combination of powerful enemies.
In this BELIEF and PRONUNCIATION Of sensa-
tional absurdities, our Mistress Nickel-by
conforms to the leading features of her
great prototype.
