The performance for the benefit of the To- ; 1
wanda Library last evening, was a grand sue- (
cess financially.
There will be a special meeting of Crystal '
Lodge, K. of 11., at 9 o'clock to-morrow i
morning, at their hall, to make arrangements •
for the funeral of K. J. SHERMAN, deceased.
Mail Agent R. J. SHERMAN died this morn
ing, at the residence of his father-in-law, J. (
O. FROST. The funeral will take place
Thursday afternoon.
It is seldom our people are permitted an
opportunity of enjoying such a musical feast
as will he presented by the Young Appolo
Club at Mcrcur Hall this evening, and all
who enjoy tla 4, cuncordof-wcet sound," and
can afford to buy a ticket, should avail them
selves of the, only occasion which will proba
bly be presented for inuring these famous and
renowned singers. Tickets at KIRUY'B.
The Nail Works started up yesterday. For
uearly two months BOSTI.ky A (<. have j,
been engaged putting the cstahlinhiitt lit in
order, thoroughly repairing the the machim -
r\, furnaces, Ac. The work has at last bet u
accomplished, and the trial yesterday more,
than realized,j the sanguine expo-tations of i
the lessees, who have personally superin
tended tlx 4 repairs and improvement-.
44 Not guilty, hut to pay the costs," in cases
where defendants are ■, barged with grave and t
infamous crimes, seems to us an incxeusubh
verdict, and yet twelve man, who listened
for several days to testimony and arguments,
in the ease of tbt (toimnouwt alth vs. \ ANN
ami VARGASON. charged with burning a barn j
containing a large amount of hav, grain. Ac.,
and a pair of valuable horses, returned such
a verdict on Sunday morning. We are at ;
a loss to conceive how sensible men can arrive j
at such a conclusion. If tjie accused were
guilty, they deserved to be severely punished, :
but if they wore innocent of the otVeiiseeharg- i
ed, it is cruel to stigmatize them by bringing |
iu such a verdict.

Superintendent's Notes.
Feb. 9. —Visited tin 4 following schools of
Terry: Viall, Abbie Viall; Norway Ridge,
Miss A. I'. Fanning; Tyrrell, Martha Beards-
Icy; Windfall, Teresa llorton. Heard of no
dissatisfaction, except at the Ty rrell, where j
two or three large boys are allowed by |
parents to almost run the school. Barents
should not shirk the responsibility and ex-j
pect lady teachers to act as slave or mule '
drivers. Better discipline the mules at home,
or keep them home; for one such, disregard
ed by parents, or winked at aud sustained,;
may ruin what would otherwise he a first
class school.

Northern District Convention of Good Tem
plars will be held at Athens, Feb. 24th and j
