note his recovery. Friday morning
last, just as our school was asscmb-

told that the house was on fire. The
alarm was given, when Steve IIollan,

after Mr. II was on the building

valuable assistance. The fire Origi-

Of eight pupils only. Soon her
superiority as teacher, coupled
with that refinement and lady like
bearing which culture only can be
stow, won for her a bright success.
Notwithstanding much opposition,
her school continued to increase
and general satisfaction was given.
But higher positions and wider fields
await her. The severing OF ties that
are dear alike TO teacher, pupils and
and patrons will be remembered

cast, whatever may be her future
/ life, she can look back 10 the period
spent at Brick Church with tho
consciousness OF having fully dis
charged her duty, and with the fan
assurance of possessing the entire
apnreciafion and confidence OF an
enlightened, christian people. Mr.
J. Mid Gordon's little boy, Earnest,
went to Pulaski and sold cotton

OF home missed his pocket book,
containing $9O.25. Strong eircum-
stantial proof rests on some negroes
who are now being tried. y.
