LITERARY.-Thc Culture Club appeared
before the public for the first time in thu
Town Hall on Friday evening last and to
speak Of 1t as less than a distinguished de6u
would be TO fail IN a proper Characterization
The earnest and well directed work of the
past several months has left its imprint and
persistence in its adopted line will produce {
most profound effect. The choice, chastt
words, the incisive wit and sterling llogit
manifest in the several papers came upor
the listeners, not so much as a surprise as {
revelation; that we have bright, intellectual
women among us all knew, but that they
had given the thoughtful care to research
and prodgious labor to the preparation o
their several papers was not anticipated
The strictly literary programme was light
ened by the introduction of instrumental
and vocal music and this too was fully in
keeping with the general tone.
We sincerely hope the Culture Club has
come to stay and that the suggestions thrown
out by the President in her address may
materialize; that through it our limited loca
educational possibilities may be supplement
ted, can not be questioned IN the light o
Friday evenings proof of the efficiency o
the labors of the Culture Club.
1t must be the occasion of regret to all tina
80 few men have availed themselves of thu
sterling privileges afforded; that they
are the losers goes without words other thar
those required to assert it.

alleged thieves, petty and otherwise, wa

work of the latter as conducted here ant

arrest of seven suspects, viz: William Reed
Biddie Martin, Jacob Stitely, Holton Shut
Thos. Brice, David Green and ]. Thos. Davis
In addition to the above there were writ
on hand for several others, whom they
failed to apprehend. That all have not beef
taken, even if they are right so far as the,
have gone, is evident from the fact that rob
berries have been made since Wednesday

tatoes dug and taken from the garden and tn
COW MIXED IN the stable. This looks NOR
like bravado than robbery for the booty
sake and is probably intended first to relicv
the pressure from the prisoners and secon
to put the local detectiye force upon its meta
That gang of petty thieves exist in thi
section all realize from the number of dairy
