We regret to learn that AIr. c. 4.
Pack lost lis dwelling by fire, on the
30th alt. III. Pack was alone at home
at the time, and lost a good deal OF
furniture. The house was insured for
$1,000.
On last Friday in the Packsvil:e
reighborhood, a co!ored man, Charles
Hankens, was attacked by two men,
also colorea, and fearfully injured.
The brutality inflicted upon Hankens
was Oriental in its iie0dishress. He
says his assailants were strangers.
From his description many believe
that the notorious John Butler was
one of them.
NIr. Arthur Delorne, who has been
associated with the TINES as compost
tor, almost from its infancy, has Left
us to attend school. From the time
we assumed control ofthe paper, Mr..
DeLorme has not only had the manage
ment OF the type department, but be
he's filed the place Of advisor and
friend. To his jealous and waschfni
care of the interests Of the paper, IN
a great measure is due our success
thus far. In leaving Us, friend Arthur
carries with him our fraternal wishes
for his future welfare.
Mr.. Walter Burgess will occupy tie
place vacated by Mr.. DeLorme.

LBsAsy.-The Franklin Square
Library Company of Louisville, k.y.,
through their travelling agent, Mrs G.
L. Morgan, of Savannah, Ga, who
comes among us highly recommended,
proposes to establish in Manning, a
Library of choice literature. On pro-
curing forty subscribers at 81 each,
Mrs. Morgan will start the Library
with sixty volumes, to be added to as
the subscribers increase.

will be gotten. The sum
Of money required is small, and the
advantages to be derived from this
by the lovers Of books, is i'm
nense.

proposed railroads, which seem short
Of cash, should inlist the ladies' sew

fail. The money that is wasted in
trying to convert the Chinese might
be turned in this direction, with act
ual profit, instead of as at present, re-
aizing dead loss.
