The plant and material of the Hall
vile News has been moved to Mar
shall, and Charles Martin, who for
merly published the Mincola Adver-
tiser, will issue weekly, called the
Marshall News. Wooten Il Crissen-
berry, owners of the Pittsburg Magn ct,
formerly the Jefferson Magnet, have
decided to try their fortunes i'm Mar

Misses Markoeta Greer and Lulu
Smith, two charming young ladies,
well known in Marshall society, will
return home next month from Edge
field, South Carolina, where they have
been on II visit OF several months.
They will probably be accompanied by
Mrs. Pickens, Miss Greer's aunt,
widow of Governor Pickens of South
Carolina. Old citizens will remember
her AS Miss Lucy Holcombe, the belle
of Marshall in its palmiest ante Jcllun'
days Governor Pickens was min
lister to Russia, during Buchanan's
administration, and Mrs. Pickens
spent the first months of her honey

A prominent lawyer of Marshall,
who ought to have known better, and
who prides himself on his familiarity
with the classics. made rash bet with
Il Marshall young lady that Endymion
was the identical youth who, seeing
his figure reflected in "branch," fell
so violently in love with it that he
pinned away and died. The wager, a
pair of cream colored kids, was
promptly accepted and II classical die
tionary examined. 1t is almost need
less to say that the lawyer lost, as he
had Narcssus and Endymion badly
mixed. He paid the wager cheerfully,
however, and has commenced the
study of mythology anew.
The young lady and gentlemen
amateurs Of Marshall and Shreveport
will shortly give Il theatrical represent
tati0n at Mahone's Opera house. The
pieces underlined for presentation are
said to be "The Spirit of 49," "Nan,
the Good for Nothing" and "rhe Lady
of Lyons" Miss Sallie May Petteway
aud Andy Currie, Esq, will take the
leading parts. Miss p. ought to make
charming Nan, and Mr.. G. hand
some Claude Melnotte. "rhe Lady of
Lyons" will he gorgeously mounted,
and strict attention will lie paid to
scenic effects. The lake of Como will

An article which appeared in the
weekly HERALD ofthe 10th inst, under
the head of "Along the Line" was
calculated to do injustice to III. Gold
water, Esq one OF the "feersr' citi-
zens of Marshall. He has retired from
the sporting arena for the time being,
having with touching self-denial taken
an oath to touch not and handle not
the history OF the four kings or case
keeper, for a certain time. This is as
it should be but, when mat time ex-
pires, we extend our deepest sympathy
to the INST opponent he encounters.
