tioiNi; to Leave We see from a notice iu
the Nev ada City Times, of December 29th, that
our venerable friend and brother. Rev. Dr.
Church, has bought the necessary buildings and
uiade ewry preparation lor opening a female
seminary iu that place, in two or three weeks. It
is with sincere regret, we conseut to give the
Doctor up. Dm tug his stay among us, bis zeal
and energy in the cause of education, bis quiet,

All Ot b Schools Have begun the new year,
under the most auspicious circumstances . The
resbyterian Seminary starts with several
additional scholars, and ita aew chapel and
ctool-rooms ready for use. The Methodist
otlege w ill go ahead with that accomplished

number of new scholars; aud is shortly to be
made an endowed and chartered institution;
rospects, under the able management of Prol .
luckner. ia every respect most flattering. And
the baptist College has just completed extensive
additious to make room for its constantly in
creasingly patronage. IVood. There' a wide
ileld for each, and we trust that fame and for
tuae await them all.

following oflicers were elected for the ensuing

new members to its roll every meeting, .Judging
ironi tne sei.-ction ol omcers tor the present

which thev deserve. Ihe C lub intend to pro.

God At last, our Lafayette Agricultural
Society has a future of promise before it. At the
election of a Board of Directors, last Monday
the officials chosen were: Col. John Iteid, M.
V. L. SlcClelland, C O. Grimes, Alex. I amp-
lull, lien. Marshall, Jackson C'order, IV. B.
Steele and Thomas Bayliss, of Lafayette, and
i.eore i. asson, oi nay. a oetter Hoard
could hardly have been selected in the two
counties represented. Men of large views.
public spirited and enterprising, the affairs of
the society will certatnly prosper under their
management. The District Fair nrolert. ilrsi
suggested and urged by the Caucasian, bids fair
to be consummated at an earlyr day. And then
we'll nave an exhibition, of which Lafayette
Kay aud Carroll, sye, the whole Missouri
Valley, will have reason to be proud. The
donkey will all be found in the ring, and none
in me uirectory .
A Flash ur the Pah Our yonng friends
Geo. McGrew, Xan Harnett and Willie Clagett,
bad a hard time hunting fun, last Tuesday even
ing. Intending to have a storm-party, at Capt.
il-,. Harnett's, three utiles from town, they got
ont a huge omnibus, drove round and collected
as many fair young damsels as could be crowded
into the capacious vehicle, and started. . Sud
denly, some one recollected, that Oliver, the
colored gentleman who was to play orchestra

In the search, Xan Barnett tumbled over a steeD

Cav Brilliant, jolly and delightful was tbe
dinner-party, on Tuesday of last week, at tbe
bachelor home of our friend, A.Stewart, three
miles east of Wellington. The ample lesourcea
of one of the Unet farms In tbe county, were
taxed to tbe utmost, to provide an entertainmen
unsurpassed by any that ha come off during tb
festive season. The host, a genuine old Vir
ginia gentleman, spared no pain ar expense,
to insure his guests a splendid time. - Among
those present, we noticed our esteemed couuiy
men, M. V. I,. McClelland, Dr. P. S. Pulker
son. Col. Prank Thorp, Louis Day, J. K.
Creen, Merlin Jones, Iteuben, Arch and Buck
Letton, and Jesse Burton. Maguillcent bill ot
fare; oysters, quails, turkeys, cakes, pastries,
eonf. ctions, and everything else that heart
(we an, 'I exactly sertain that' the word)
could wish; washed down with floods of spark
ling wine, and winding np with a huge egg
nog, toats, songs am; gushes of toploftical
eloquence. But one drawback to lierfect en
joyment; tbe fact that it was an lold stag"
affair. No woman's smiles lent the crowning
charm to the feast-ah!
"I Smell Hi t Kaos " Last Sunday
night, tbe family of Wm. Johnson, three miles
east of town, had a narrow eacajie from sher
manization or Cbieagony. A man who was
visiting them, had been emokiug. He put bis
pipe in bis s,cket, and went up stair to bed, in
a room where three of Mr. Johnson's boys were
sleeping two other children were asleep in the
next room. A little girl iu the lower room,
complained of smelling burning rags. Mrs.
Johnson said: "uh, it nothing; one ol tk
boys used a rag to light his candle." But tbe
smell ot tire grew stronger, and a seareb was
made. Mr, Johnson's oldest daughter Anally
opened the door of the bovs' room, and rushed
dowo stairs, nearly stifled with the smoke, ex
claiming: "oil, pa, tbe bouse is all oa are!"
Mr. Johnson sprang up the steps, but eame near
recoiling before tbe dense volume of smoke
which poured from the room. One little boy
was found nearly sufficated, and another was
seriously affected . The floor of tbe room wa
on tire, but it was extinguished without mnxb
damage. Causa of th eonBarraiion: Fire in
pie not out Fellow laid bis cloth on floor
Breeches pocet ignited riarae eommunicated
to other clothing, and the oor. Result; Two
children nearly smothered, well smoked hause,
and a badlr scared family. Moral: Put your
pipe ot T, before you put ll is your pocket.

On Tuesday, tbe member of this congregation

They captured him and hi family without re

new and excellent furniture, from Winkler's
factory, including a handsome study chair
which was the special gift of the children of the
church. Many ot.cr valuable and necessary
articles for household use were presented, and the
all-potent greenbacks were not forgotten. The

under the burden , witb all the dainties and

On Christmas nigh:, a ball was given at

Sometime after midnight, a quarrel took place
between Ferdinand launders and some one else.
Dan. Chambers, a well known and popular
young man, wno was one or the musicians and
perfectly sober, interfered to prevent serious
trouble. Saunders struck him In ihe face. Cham

Saunders was promptly arrested and com

welcome to tne use 01 my nouse, and I'll help

events 01 tne notiday period.

Missus Kditors : We feel hiahlv comolle
mented that you have at last found out there is
such a Dlace aa Aullville. in Lafayette county.
we naa supposed, mat you itner anew ootuuig
about Aullville. or were diaposed to ignore it
existence. But in the last two numbers of tbe
Cau-asian, we have received honorable mention.
and it would puzzle a "Philadelphia lawyer'
to tell which notice was farthest from tb truth
tars mo. 1.
The first represented Aullville, aa a ' lively
place." "selling ten barrel of whisky and av
eraging two light a week." Wecan only account
lor your lniormatlon, on the ground tnat your
lnlormant. wnue in our town, imuioea preny
freely of tbe ten barrel article himself, and that
hi idea be -ame so confused he couldn't
distinruish between a demiiohn and a barrel
or discern the difference between a week
and a vear: if he bait said ten barrels in ayear.
he would have come much nearer the truth. Or
bis incorrectness may have been owing to a soil
place in hi head. Ue remind us of an old piece
oi doggerel laminar in our younger uaya
' 'Salt am taters all smashed up.
And mush am saft as aaft can lie,
-But Salter lar that silly pate.
That told that lie on we."
