Late in Life to Look for JOY

Readers of Hawthorne's blouse of

with which poor Clifford Pyncheon,
who had been unjustly imprisoned
since his early manhood, said, after his
release: "My life is gone, and where is
my happiness? Oh! give me my happI-
ness" But that could be done only in
part, as CLEANS of.warm sunshine coca

THE NORRLsFOWY FEMALE HIGH


The closing exercises OF Morristown
Female High School took place Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday nights,
of last week. Each evenings program
was elaborate, full of entertainment and
enjoyed and appreciated nightly by the
largest audiences ever crowded into
McFarland's spacious Opera House hall.
To single out any particular essay, reel
tatioH, dialogue or tableau would be in
vidious when all the young ladies, mis-
ses aud little children acquitted them
selves so satisfac orily TO the audience
and so creditably to their instructors. In
common with cur entire community,
we arc proud sf our High Schools. male
and female. Those who were present
en- the occasions referred 10 will bear
testimony this to fact. The exercises of
the pupils c early showed their teachers
TO be hard workers and thorough in
structors. Rev. Sir. McFerrin's Ell ,ieat
management of the institution for the
last scholastic year has fully cSnYinced
the public that he is the right man in
the light place, and that he will leave
nothing undone to sustain the well-mer-
tied reputation which this school has
ever enjoyed as one of the best and most
economical in the State for the educa-
tion OF young ladies'. IL is the desire of
Professor MeFsrrIn in coming among |
us To establish 4 sciool that cannot be |

facilities here for such school and Mr.. |
McFerrin and bis assistants have evil

sary now is to have unity of action on
the part of The ci,iz,ns Of Morris.own
aud vicinity. Mr.. McFerri1, at the
the close of the exercises Thursday /
night, made few appropriate remarks,
returning his grateful than tOthe pat.
rens Of the school for the very satisfae-
tory encouragement they had extended
to IL, and appealed to the citizens gen.
orally to Cooperate with him in increas-
ing its field Of usefulness. In this ap-
peal we heartily join. We know Of no
chickering's or unpleasant feelings any
where in reference to the management Of
the school, but il there should be any we
trEst they will be laid aside-that all will
put their shoulders TO the wheel and
lend a helping hand in building up an
institution of such incalculablo benft
TO the prosperity of our town. Let our
business men, every one of them, whe-
Their they have daughters to educate or
not, use his influence, aud give his mo-
ney if necessary, to strengthen and en-
nance tho prosperity OF the school. We
will then have one in which we will
Justly take still higher pride.

az IN1EREsrLNG TRIAL.

About ihs first of last week, an officer
Mr.. w. .R. Crowder, of Springfield
Greene county, Missouri, appeared in
our town ENDURING Of eur Sheriff as to
the whereabouts of one James Lillard,
who is charged with compromising a
felony, upon q requisition of Gsv. Crit
tendeA to Gov. Bate. He finally locat-
ed the young man, who Is only is or 20
years old, at his fathers i'm Cooke coun-
ty, and at once arrested and started
with him to Missouri But his father
at once employed counsel, Mr.. w. ].
McSween, of Newport, who immediate
ly applied to Judge Rose for writ of
hd5eas corpus Ia order to test the valid
ity of his arrest. Panoplied with said
writ, Mr.. Mes. and eur Marsha, Mr.
BARLEY, put out in hot pursuit (ME.
CrOwder with his prisoner fearing he
would be pursued and detaiaed, had
left the railroad, and was goIng through
the country i'm a buggy, oEsrtaking
them about two miles this side of
Strawberry Plains, (Mr B. says that he
and Mr.. Mes. rode 81 miles in hour
and 10 minutos), and brought the pris-
oner back for a hearing on said writ,
which was had on Saturday night
Messrs. Mcfarland & Dickson appear
ing with Mr.. Mes for the prisoner,
and Messrs. Evans s. Holloway, and Mr..
Joseph Grigsby for Mr.. Crewder, the
agegt of Missouri. The case was very
interesting. The evidence showed that
the man with whom young Lillard had
been living while in Missouri, was I'M
a negro, and that LIllard was, in fact,
wan ed as q witness against him, where
as the face of the papers showed that
he was wanted to answer 20 charge Of
'compounding felony" as aforesaid.
But as he could net, under eur extradi-
tion or inter State laws be taken there
as witness, it seems that this russ was
resorted to to get him b.ck. This is
certainly straining points further than
is safe and consistent or than strict JUS
tice warrants, nevertheless Judge Rose,
after most lucid, able, thorough and
beautiful summary and explanation of
the U. 5. Statutes and the State laws
based thsrsupon, held that the respect
i've Governors of the two States were
the final and only judges Of the merits
Of such cases, and that all the papers in
the case before him were, upon their
face, regular and in strict accordance
with the law. He said tbat-tbe only /
question upon which he could pass was
rs to the ideRtity of the person. There |
was some conflict of testimony as this,
young Lillard's father swearing that |
MS name was Russell Ananias, but the |
young man himself had admitted that |
ne went by the name of James while in |
the latter of which be
was called in the papers upon which he
vas arrested. So, upon all the facts, |
he Judge remanded him to the custody |

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT

buttons conceIning the death of Miss
Alice Lyle, respectfully present the
following
We feel that in the death of Miss Al

deprived of singularly gifted and eff

lost one of its first and most earnest
members, the benediction of whose in

seems holy as the lives Of saints.

as heavy crosses by weaker disciples

selfish seeker Of it.
The uews OF her death touched tue
hearts of those who knew her, and tears
flowed With quickened zeal
fer the cause she loved we will cherish
her memory. For the welfare Of the
Society she offered pray ers. and as a last
memento of her devotion to it, she said |
