CassvilIe Notes.
Osssville, March 81. 1880.

Cassville, March 81, 1880.
Whats the news ?" Well, we are just
about waking up to the fact that spring-.ime
has come and with it gradual awakening to
lite and activit y.
To-day the first steamer passed up for the
season Though a steamer owned at Spechts'
had made a couple of trips to the sawmill of
Stevens & Bartlett for saw,dust) and now
the little big boys "S-T,E,A-M Boar is in
order as of old.
Last night, or about two o'clock this
morning, our citizens were aroused by the
cry of FIRE. A small farm dwelling belong
ing to the estate of James Calvert, near Hen
ry Webster's smith shop, was burning and
the roof of the smith shop caught fire, the
two buildings standing c ose together. 1t is
marvel how we escaped general conAagra-
ton. II seems that the house was not oc-
cupied except as a place for putting old
rubbish out of the way mainly, and having no
fire bell or any way of giving the alarm the
people were slow to come to the rescue. Mr..
G. Brown, II. Grimm. VIM. B. Dietrich and
two or three others, however, by their exer-
tion, put gu; the FIRE on the roof of Webster's
shop and this coupled with the fact tina,
there was no wind stirring is what saved us
this time. When will our citizens awake to
their interest and procure at least some ap-
paratus for petting out fire, if only hooks
and ladders and buckets, and say couple Of
Bsbcock exiinguishers.
Week before last we were treated to an
entertainment by the Glen Haven Minstrel
Troupe. Last week we had the pleasure tc
be entertained By home talent, our Cassville
Dramatic Company, and must admit tha,
some parts were well rendered and their en-.
tertainmenss, both the Glen Havenites and
Cassvillians are we'll worth patronizing. Fol
the present week the Beetown Drama list,
are billed for Cassyille, while our troupe i,
billed for Turkey River. Not, however, al
Judge Do,y of old, billed his culprit,
Much concern has been felt during tn,
late cold snap, concerning the Fall-sowr
wheat. but it seems after all that (theugt

early sown, aud not bog-pastured wheat, i.
all hardy.
The Spring election il now engrossine
the minds Of the village people, and for thai
matter also Of the country Regulators. Al
Jet, general orders have been issued fol
only one caucus. But one thing il sure, that
this year there win be for the first time in q
number Of years, two tickets in the field, il
not more, and on the Ridge they are even
talking of adding to the usual list Of csndi-
dates the name Of one or two to teach them

alive audience greeted the pupils at each en-
tertainment The young ladies and gentle
men who took part in the exercises acted
their parts in very creditable manner
Among those who took prominent part was
Mr.. J. L. Kruger, the amiaele and aoeomp :
lished teacher, Johnny has proved himself
to be an excellent teacher, and has given un-
iversal satisfaction. The pupils of his school
deserve great credit for strict attention to
studies during the term, and their progress
has been upward and onward.
The programme for Thursday evening coz
sisted OF declarations, recitations, dialogues,
songs, tablcaux, etc. Friday evening a ro-
mantle drama entitled "Doing for the Best"

In the farce Johnny Kruger as Mr.. Moke

'Nicodemus Knobbs' was immense. The
character of Mr.. Roseleaf was well played by
John Penberthy. Miss Minnie Penberthy as

character of Susan the Servant was acted
with freshness and humor by Miss Ida Thomas.

Although the leaders disclaim any intention
to use violence. the mob is becoming exceed
ingly unruly. Several acts OF lawlessness are
reported. On tho Fashion plantation one man
was cruelty whipped with bull thongs for re'
fusing to leave his work. Several plantations
we're invaded. The store Of DR.. Hu)schman In
Hahn Vile was entered by the strikers. who by
violence forced the delivery TO them OF large
amount of liquors. tobacco. cigars. etc. Other
stores have also been put under contribution.
The blacks openly threaten that when ,provi.
siOns run short they will take by force al! that
they need. To-day another man was whipped
near the court house for refusing to join In the
procession. Others have been similarly treat

quickly there will be bloodshed and perhaps a
massacre Of the whites.
This evil spirit has gradually been growing
on the colored population and has manifested
itself by various overt acts. and II ts time 1t
should be repressad. We look with confidence
to your city for relief. ALPHA.

one OF great responsibility and carrying with 1t
and imparting the most implicit confidence
both as regards matters OF law and matters OF
individual integrity. The custom. as 1t pre-

undergo an examination and OF giving bond

to against the possible 1mpositions misman-
agement or Ignorance Of the officer who notes
should. however. exist one exception. and that
ts In 80 far rs lawyers are concerned: They
should not like other people, be forced to un-
derRo the annoyance OF a public examination
and the expense incident thereto.
Before they can be admitted to practice law
they are required to bs conyersant not only

made OF every one OF these REQUISITES having
been complied with and that 1t was written
from top to bottom by the notary. Every law
yer knows all this. How can he In the prac-

OF will for his client unless he were perfectly
versed In all these doctrines? 1t is, therefore.
not only useless and unnecessarily embarrass-
OF his professional knowledge. he should still
DO examined upon the same subjects Just as
all other applicants. Instead of adding to the
responsibility OF the profession. 1t casts q re-
