We understand that Rev. Anketell.

We understand that Rev. Anketell
rector of Christ church of this city, who
is now in New Haven, c., will probably
not return to Austin-although he ha.
not given final decision. We regret ,o
hear this, and hope Mr.. Anketell will
conclude to return to his church in Aus
tin. He is a Christian gentleman, educa.
ted and agreeable, aud his place will be
idif1cult to fill. The members Of hia
church request US to say that the Sunday.
school will be kept up every Sunday al
usual, and if Mr.. Anketell does not 70.
turn, the parish will be supplied with a
new pastor soon.
Frank Beard, the noted crayon artist.
comes next IN the "Austin Lecture and
Musical Course" He will appear at
Jones' hall, on Saturday evening, Feb.
20th. A uniform admission fee Of only
80 cents will be charged to all parts of the
house. Reserved seats Can be procured
without extra charge. We trust Austin
will give this talented young artist full
house. Rev. Whistler, pastor Of the Roch-
ester n. E. church, regards Mr.. Beard as
zone of the most remarkable caricaturists
Of the age. The transitions, rapidly and
perfection of execution in his drawings
are marvellous"

bered by all the early settlers OF Austin,
10 prosperous comml'sion merchant Of
Mankato. A recent number of the Revieao
contains the following item in regard to
! recent purchase made by Mr.. Mills in
that city: g..
Mr.. VIM. T. Mills) one of our enter.
prising business men, has purchased Of
Enoc6 Hslmes the large two story brick
block on South Front street, for $40, 600.
Dir. Mills occupies the hrst floors and
basement with his butter ard egg packing
establishment, and this purchase indi-
Gates his intention to permanently con-
tinue the business, the increasing de-
mands OF which will soon require the
entire building.
Last Friday afternoon the regular
rccitations of the High School room were
suspended, and the following exercises
held in honor Of Washington's birthday,
the 29d Of February, which occurred on
the following Sunday:

This program was followed by few
remarks from the Principal concerning
Washington's labor for his country, and
the growing necessity of knowledge of
the early history and great men OF our
country.
The exercises Of the pupils were cred
liable indeed, as but little time and atten-
ton had been devoted to their prepare
tion. A commendable feature was the
gesturtng Of the speakers. The public
school is the; place for the boys and girls
to begin the practice Of ges,uring, which
is: So necessary for effective speaking.
The exercises were made more interesting
by dne portrait of Washington Which
hung over the stage.
Attic close of the p,ogr am the pupils
were dismissed, feeling grateful that
Washington waa born; if for no other
reason, that they sere relieved from. the
routine of the school room for q half day.
