form and feel the warm grasp of Mr..

With native mind fixed purpose and
close application he can reach any
position in the University as a scholar
and we wish him unlimited success in
his attainments.
Another of our favorite friends is
Mr.. Edward Peacock, and he left on
Thursday morning for Alma Mater
in Oxford, where he goes by study
and education, to prepare himself for
the battle of life. If he will use well

he will have cause to be grateful
through life for the outcome of his
original talents.
Mr.. James Terrell is an intelligent,
young planter who cultivates almost
a thousand acres on his own RESPONSE

him.

and bride were glad to see them re-
turn in such fine health and bouyant
spirits proving that the great sights
and scenes of Northern cities, have
an celebrating effect upon the physi-

human nature. Mr.. Austin, during
his absence, did not forget business
while enjoying pleasure for he laid
an immense stock Of dry goods of
every variety, much of which now
adorns their shelves as strandatory
figures because they are constantly
disappearing before. their rapid
sales.
