Editor Atkins, of the st. Augustine
Weekly, was in town yesterday, and
gave us a pleasant call.
See notice of private school in our spe.
cial column. The young Iady's address
will be found on reading the notice.
a little excitement was created Tues
day night by the chimney of Mr.. j. NJ.
Ramsaur's residence burning out. There
was quite a blaze, but no damage was
done.
As it did IN Palatka, Christmas passed
off very quietly and happily all over the
country, and but few casualties or
crimes have been reported from any sec
ton. This is a pleasing contrast to
some of the previous holiday seasons.
Baird's band is one of the best heard
in Palatka in long time, and it fur
nIshed most delightful music on the
streets yesterday at noon and last night.
The show was good one, and large
audience was pres to witness the
performance.
Over 10000 boxes of oranges have
passed over the st. Johns and Halifax
Railroad this season. In quoting Mr..
Pingree's statement we should have said
that the number of boxes mentioned by
him, 1881, had passed over the road
since the 18th inst.
Young l. 1ry Burt, son of Judge
Burt, is at home from Gainesville, spend
ing the holidays. He is a cadet of the
East Florida Seminary. This school is
now in a most fiourishing condition,
and we learn that number of our citi-
zens intend sending their sons this ses~
sion.
Lemon street, from the j., ]. & X. w.
Railway to- the corporation line, is in a
very bad condition indeed, and is the
cause of a great deal of complaint on the
part of the people who have to pass over
it. The Street Committee of the City
Council will put lot of hands to work
on it this week, when it will be put in a
thoroughly good condition, we hope.
The Masons of the Palatka Lodge sur
pr;sed Mr.. r. l.. Lilienthal, their most
worthy retiring Master, on Monday, by
presenting him with "A beautiful Past
Masters medal. The gift was an appro-
pirate one. and was n token OF the high
esteem in which Mr.. Lilienthal is held by
his brother Masons. He values the
timely gift, and appreciates the kindns Sc
of his brothers.
The young men having the dance in
hand, to take place at the Armory this
evening, have everything arranged for a
nice time. They have secured the Har-
pers, who furnish most excellent music,
and the Armory floor is one of the best
in The city for a dance. The young
men, we learn. are arranging for dance
for each week, until the beginning of
Lent, when they will indulge in milder
amusement.
For the past two or three months the
Sheriff has had warrant for the arrest
of Horace Davis, a well known man of
this Peninsula, sworn out by Mr.. NJ. r.
Gardner, who charged Davis with hav-
ing stolen a fine shot gun from his
house. The officers have been on the
lookout for Davis. and on Tuesday last
he was arrested in OcaIa, and yesterday
was brought here and put in Jail. Davis
will have his preliminary trial to-day if
the witnesses come down from Fruitland
and Welaka
