A Card from 1'rof. Cowcn. I have received a notice from the Board, requesting me to vacate at once and make room for my successor, as he anxious to move in, and because his goods arc packed up and ought to be unpacked. For fear my friends, the public at large, may think my contin ued stay a piece of spite-work, I wish to explain. My contract called for a certain sum of money aud the use of the house, which was estimated at 5200 a year, as part of my salary. I moved in Sept 12. '95. and have lived here from year to year since then. Hence my term will not be out till Sept 1 98, until which time I have a right to stay, under the law. But I'm not stay' ing simply because I have a right to; I have no ether place to go;' the house they are building me will not be ready for some time. If I have to get out now, my goods would have.to be pack ed up, and stay packed up for some time; besides, we would have to pay board till we move. If necessary meant to give up my rights for a short time and pay board, to let the new man in, but I don't deem it my duty to give up and put myself on expense for nearly a month. My successor'; goods can be unpacked and put in any room we are not using. B. S. Gowen, MAJ. H. A. EVANS DEAD. Former Resident of Lancaster, Dies of Typhoid Fever In Texas.
