distress. lie says that the Union is going to
secede from South Carolina, if Linkum is in

South Carolina to resist this thing to the

The LEoTuEE.-Mrs. Weed leetured, last
evening, to very respectable number of la

on matters connected with the general health
ofmales and females Her style of speaking
is very entertaining, and the audience were
much delighted. She remains here to-day,
and will go to OrOville tomorrow. The
Oroville people will no doubt give her a
good reception. For our own part, we do
not hesitate to say that we have never in our

ODD FELLOWS HALL.-This elegant build

completed, and it shows in every part fin

are four large stores, all Of them engaged
but one, and that one probably soon will be
On the second floor, there is a number of ele-
giant and airy rooms, the most of them al
ready engaged. There is one very fine room
which there has been some talk Of renting for
the Marysyille Library. 1t fronts upon ID
street, with large windows, and would be
convenient as we'll as pleasant place of resort
for both ladies and gentlemen. AT present
the library is situated in locality difficult OF
access to the ladies, whose convenience, we
think, should be particularly consulted, for
they cannot wade through difficulties and
mud, like men. We understand that there
are persons who oppose the library atogeth-
er and desire to have the city give it up
Such individuals, we hope, for the credit Of
the intellect of our city, are few. We think
it would hardly be worth while to talk to
thas class of people about anything, outside
of mere dollars and cents. The room can be
had for $25 per MONTH or $500 year, and
it would be worth while for the City Coun-
ell to consider the propriety Of locating the
library in that room.


The third story of the building rs TO be oc-
cupied by the odd Fellows exclusively. From
its windows there is view of vast extent
Of country. On the west, you may see the
Buttes and the snowy erests of the Coast
Range On the north, Lassen's Peak and its
brother heights, and on the east the long
line Of the Sierra Nevada, and the white
fcamy looking rim of the great Utah Basin
The lodg room is the largest in the State
and larger than most halls in the United
States 1t will be highly finished ard deco
rated. The library room for the Odd Fell
bows is an elegant apartment, commanding a
western prospect most beautiful to behold.


The building is situated so as to command
the breeze from every quarter, at some point
in the structure, and the circulation is so gem
eral that, from whatever direction it may
come, a current of air viii be felt we'll nigh
throughout the building. The external ap.

PLYNoUTH sABBATH SCHOOL CONCEET.-
This school will repeat the programme Of
the concert last week tomorrow evening, at
Melodeon Hall. The concert Of last week,
owing to the stormy weather, was but very
slimly attended, and it is the desire of Mr..
T. S. Wadsworth, who has expended much
time in teaching these little ones, that the
public shall be made acquainted with the
proficiency to which they have arrived. He
has also been induced to repeat the concert
through the solicitations of many Of those
who were present last week, and who have
expressed themselves in terms OF the highest
commendation. For ourselves, We may say
that we were never more completely and ct
the same time sgreeably surprised than on
hearing the singing Of these children. It is
the intention Of the managers of this school,
as we understand it, TO make singing a
prominent feature in the children's educa-
tion, and to this end piano has been pur-
chased, upon which there is something still
due. The profits Of this concert will be
used for clearing of this debt. Go and as
sist this meritorious object.

1t was rot the object, as some have
supposed, of our article on taxation,
last week, to complain of the official
conduct of our Board Of County Super
visors. Many Of them are our personal
friends, and we know all Of them have
labored indefatigably to extricate the
county from its complicated difficulties
and endorsements. We wrote ear
nestly and plainly to the lamentable
fact that our taxes are unprecedented,
and oppressive to the last degree. Let
him deny it who can. To this point and
this only, we reiterate here again to the
very letter, our entire article of last

these times Of political dishonesty, it is
truly refreshing to see our representa-

be remembered. Already their action
has relieved our State of an immense

ELoPEMENT IN HIGH LIFE. An es-
tabishmeut on Brooklyn Heights was
on Sunday morning the scene of deep
sorrow and overshadowing gloom, it
being formally announced to the numer-
Gus guests assembled at breakfast that
they were henceforth to be deprived Of
the cherishing influence and benign care
of the estimable lady who had for years
presided at the board, and who had ad-
ministered to their comforts with all the
attention and affection Of il mother. The
lady had left the house of her confding
lord at an early hour on Saturday morn
ing, ostensibly for the purpose Of going
shopping, but in reality with view OF
effecting union With a gay lothario,
with whom she was determined to link
her future fortune. After The twain had
met in New York, according to previous
agreement, they secured their passage
on the City Of Baltimore, and sailed for
Europe, having previously made all
necessary arrangements. The lady had
up to the time Of this melancholy event
sustained an unblemished character,
and was held in high esteem by all who
knew her. She was strict member oi

was considered one ofits brightest lights
She leaves three children, the eldest oI
whom is about IL years. Her compan-
ion had been boarder at the establish
ment up to Saturday. He is reputed

Secretary of the Board of Trustees, for a copy
of the University Catalogue for 1S50-6O 1t is
handsomely got up, and is, VIC perceive, from the
job Office of the Mississippian, at Jackson


The number of students on the roll of the
Law Department is forty-one: the number on
the academic list is one hundred and seventy
five:-total, two hundred and sixteen.


The total number of alumni is two hundred and
seventy four; of whom two hundred and forty
one are Bachelors of Arts, and thirty y-three,
Bachelors of Laws. There is an error in the
statement Of this last number, in the general
summary of the Catalogue, where it is put down
at fifteen but by actual count we found it to
be thirty three.


The fourishng condition Of our University is
very gratifying; and its rapidly growing rcputa-
ton no less So We are informed that the de-
mand for the Catalogue, and for information in
regard to the institution from all parts of Mis-
sissippi and the ncighboring States, has been,
for the last two months, altogether unprecedented
in the history of the University; and that the
prospect Is for a much larger attendance, at the

The Democratic State Central Committee
have called State Convention to meet at
Sacramento, on Thursday, Feb. goth, for the
purpose of selecting delegates to the Presi-
dental Convention at Charleston. The
committee passed resolution, recommend
ing to the several County Committees to
make as a test for voters at the various pri-
mary elections that they should have "voted
for majority Of the regular Democratic
State ticket of which Milton S. Latham was
at the head, at the last general election


Under such test, in this county, there
are some hundreds Of men who have never
acted with the Democratic party, and per-
hans never WILL who would be entitled to as
full participation in our primary elections
as the longest serving and most consistent
Democrat in our ranks. The State Commit
tee does not attempt to bind the County
Committees, it seems, but it is we'll known
this recommendation, emanating from the
source it does, will influence many members
of Committees throughout the State, and
therein will perpetrate great wrong upon
the organization Of the party. The true
test, we think, will be to require OF those
Offering to vote, that "they voted the regn-
lar Democratic State and county ticket. Of
which Milton S. Latham was at the head, at
the last general election"


The intent of this test would be to ascer.
tain that men had come into the Democratic
party in good faith, and shown that faith by
acting in concert with the party at least dur
ine one canvass. If the Democratic party
expects to retain the strength of its organ.i
zation. test less stringent than this, let's in

STOLEN BUT RECOVERED Saturday
last, while peddler named Jacobs, who car
ries his merchandise in packs upon horse
back, was exhibiting some goods in house,
an unknown rogue came along and relieved
the horse of package of goods valued at
about $500. The loss was soon discovered,
and information being given to Constable
Boggs. he was not long in tracing the mis-
sing package to a field on the outskirts of
town, where it had been put down, and a
coat thrown over it. The package had not
been opened. The promptitude and success
of the officer, was highly gratifying to the
owner of the goods; and no doubt highly
distasteful to the thief
