The cards for the three weddings Of Lafay-
cite county persons mentioned in our per-
sonal column were printed in this office.
They are all samples of the highest perfec-
ton in the art preservative, and were pre-
pared under the skillful fingers of our dis
tinguished job printer, Mr.. Frank G.. Bow
man. Lafayette county is SO used to being at
the front that she does not propose to be sur
passed even in artistic printing.

Judge strother in the case of Ewing & Co.
VS.. Green u Gordon, yesterday, decided the
second section Of the city hog ordinances,
which provides for the sale Of
hogs and the fees to the officers,
to be null and void. Judge Hale
and the Intelligencer are vindicated.
Now,l let the Marshal make the report required
of him BY the council as to the fees collected
under the ordinance. If he don't, he may
have a few suits to defend, as not q single
collection he or his officers made under the
ordinance was legal. He was not without
notice. Thu I~ntelligencer told him SO.
The next issue of The Popular Science
Monthly" will contain an elaborate article on
ssThe Classics in Germany" in answer to
President Porter and others who have ap-
pealed to the celebrated "Berlin Report"
against Charles Francis Adams or the Greek
question. The article is by Professor E. j.
James, Of the University Of Pennsylvania,
who has recently returned from Germany.
where he investigated the whole subject. He
shows that it has been greatly misunderstood
here, and that the differences drawn from
German experience of classical and scientific
studies are Of not the slightest value for the
dead-language party in this country.
Gentlemen from Richmond in CONVEX.
sation regarding the Evilsizer murder, state
that the trip of the younger Miller to Waiver.
ly on the day following the murder was fol
the evident purpose of killing Doctor Beers
who lives near that place, who, with Mr.
Evilsizer, was q leading witness in the cast
against Miller's father for horse stealing
That such was the purpose of Miller's err ant
is pretty generally believed in Richmond, AMI
: also by q number Of gentlemen living q
, Waverly, who are more or less converssn
, with the circumstances Mr.. Evilsizer wa
an uncle of his murderer. The killing wa
+ done on Monday; Tuesday at daylight Mile
left for Waverly, leaving there for Richmon,
on Wednesday, and the next day be was in
dioted for murder in the first degree an,
locked up in Jail, at Richmond.
No paper that comes to our table is NOR
carefully read than the Christian Ad, ocate
We have such implicit faith in the candor an,
II truth of DR.. M'Anally That it is q pleasur
to read what he has to say in his homes,
r straightforward way. In most things W
agree with him. Occasionally, however, W
see a word to c~riticise. For instance, in a
n eulogistic article upon the Christian characte
/. of Wesley, which 80 far all will approve, b
permits his feelings to be 80 wrought up this
n he concludes with these words, "Let us fol
j. low him as he followed Christ" A Presby
terrain might say this of Calvin; a Lutheran {
Luther, and SO on, but how much better I
say, "Let us follow Christ as did he." $50
n there is none other name under heaven give
n among men, whereby we must be saved"
The articles complained of by our contem
porary, both printed long ago, were provoke
by accusations of dishonorable conduct MAJ
K against the persons who wrote them. As
the last one, we neither suggested, wrote {
dictated it-never saw it until it was hande
a to US for publication. There has not been
n. our columns an unkind word of our neighbt
" for months-it is not our habit, whatever ms
"a be done under sore provocation. On tt
L. contrary, our contemporary rarely goes
II press without some nagging of the INTEL
gencer. We desire to discuss public que.
rt tons upon their merits, decently and in o.
in der, giving our opponents where they mel
-. it all credit for honesty and sincerity in the
be treated. Hereafter we shall decline di
cussion with either newspaper or individu
-, that is not wellbred enough to observe the
- rules. Life is too short to be wasted in qua
reling, and we have arrived at a time of Ii
al when we propose to put such things aws
from us.
