Mr.. c. G. Holland, president OF the Coun-
ell, has succeeded in purchasing OF Rev. j.
d. Arnold, now of Jonesboro', n. c., the
building once used as the Danville Female

College, along with the very valuable lot OF
land attached 10 it, and on the 1st OF Janu-
airy the house and premises will be turned

The teachers and pupils OF the public school

prospect OF getting into so nice building,
and having so much elbow-room in doors and

gain was closed and the papers signed upon
the goth. Terms, $4,000 cash; possession
to be given on the 1st OF December. Such
alterations will be made about the building
as will fit it for use as public-school build
| ing, and on the LIST OF January, as l have
| said, our friends Of the public school will
move in.

MADAME GARBETTA.

One night Madame Garbetta, the wife of
Monsieur Garbetta, found in her husbands
pocket little pink note-a perfumed note
written in woman's hand, and not too we'll
spelt, which requested him to meet some un-
known fair one at the corner of a certain
square as the evening bells chimed six.
Madame Garbetta said nothing but that
evening she took a cab, and, closely veiled
and hooded, was driven to the spot indicated
in the note. There she saw Monsieur Gar
BETA meet very pretty young lady and give
her his arm.
The next morning Madame Garbetta made
confdante of her maid while she was dress.
ing her hair.
The maid replied that it was certainly very
wrong of monsieur, but that all men were
alike when one knew them, and that madame
would do better to keep her discovery from
monsieur.
However, madame did not accept this sage
advice. That very night the maid heard her
scream: "You will kill me!' and the next
morning madame showed her black mark
about her neck, and told her that monsieur
had been so greatly angered by her reproach,
es that he had choked her with his hands
Again the maid advised her mistress to be
quiet and say no more, but it was evident that
unpleasant scenes frequently occurred. Mad
anne often told Lucille, the maid, that she
was really in fear of her life.
One morning madame was i'll, strangely
ill-seriously, it seemed to Lucille.
