BATESVILLE GUIRD farm. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 26,78 A merry Ohristmau and a happy Ke er Year to all. We art ander renewed obligation* to Hon. L C. Ganta fox Coagraaaion*! far ora. A hkalthy aeaaon of a few week may be reaaoaably looked for. All the dootort are engaged ou their yellow fever reports. Jvnaa Taos. B Hasty, of Phillip* count-., is daily gaining strength as a candidate for Speaker of the next Hoose of Representatirre. The big bridge at St. Louis was ao'-* at public auction on last Friday. I was bid in for the New York stock holders at 92,000,000, SSO 000 i gild paid down as eurne t money. Gov. Wans Hanrron, Beuator-elect from South Carolina, who ba* been suffering from ampuiation of one of bi leg*, is now considered beyond danger and hopes are entertained of bis speedy recovery. The State Teachers' Association will meet in Little Rock on tbe 29th. 30' 1 and Slut f the present month. Even teacher who can *honld attend and le-d bin or her aid in bnilding up so itupor taut an organisation. The St. Louis Republican does not consider Gov. Baxter in the race for U. 8. Senator, as an article in that paper mentions all the other aspirant excepting Gov. Baxter. The Repnb lican is not well posted in Arkansas pdi'ies. Hon. R *W. Johnsoe. one of the prominent a-pirant# for the U. 8. Senate, passed through our county on l&at Sunday. He gave Batesville the g’«nd g»-bye; passed within two wiles of town, and stopped over night with Col James Rmherford, onr Stale 8r tutor -elect. What does this mean? or was it mean ? Manx of onr mb-criber*' time expires with the next number. W hope that all of onr old patrons will renew with the first number of volnme three, rod that each enbrerih r will endeavor to per«n*de hi- neighbor to subscribe for the Guabp. You will enjoy the reading of your paper when it is paid for. *V> acknowledge tbe receipt of an invitation from Admiral Milt Harry, commander of tbe fine passenger t'eamer Jo«ie Harry, to accompany him and partake of bi* hospitality on a trip to Memphis. Thank yon, Milt; we will try and accept the name one of the days perhaps when you least ex - peot us. Nothing we know of would afford us more delight than to lake a pleasure trip to Memphis by river. Fbequbbt mention is made in th late papers of wide spread adulteration of sugar, and an official investigation is being held, as to ita extent and also as to its probable and possible delete rious effects on those who use tbe article. The prime object seems to be on tbe part of manufacturers and im porters to "get away” with the Gov exnment by payment of a less duty than is warranted by law. Aside from the question of loss to Ibe Government, however, is tbe more serious one of injury to the public health. We will not, after learning this, be entirely sat irfied aa to the safety of using sugar liberally, and trust that the "true in wardneM” of the whole thing may eoon be caponed. RON. E DUNN. We are in receipt of a letter from ibis distinguished citicen, saying that he accepts the honor conferred upon him a* tbe orator of the day, at the reunion to be held at Little Rock, on tbe 15th of January, and that he will be with ne on that day. STATS TEACEZM ASSOCIATION. Reduced Fare—Teachers will pay foil fate to the State Teachers Aseocia lion, and one fifth fare back. Impor tant educational questiona will be discussed, and it ia hoped that tbe attendance will ba good. • mi —We wish to call the attention of our readers to tbe prospect ua of The National Live-Stock Journal, which will be found in this inane. No one who is interested at al! in live stock of any kind should fail to subscribe for The Journal, aa be will find a great deal of valuable and interesting matter in it. Tbe wealth of every county in the Slate would be largely increased if all farmera and stock raisers would read The Journal regularly and profit by the experience of those who con tribute to itscolntnc* from all parts of iLu country. ARUIIMB mLESE* OSMMNCWCtMCM/ KteTCUtt. The Presbyterian Chutcb of ons eiiy was filled on Thursday evening last with an intelligent an appreciative audience, who had gathered together to witness the Com men cement Exer cises of Arkansas College. In the absence of Rev. Dr. Welch, Mr. A.W Lyon presided, Professors Lung and Stubbs being seated on tbe platform with him. On the right were seated the graduating class, five in number, and immediately behind them tbe trneteee of tbe College. Tbe gradua ting class were composed of the fol lowing yonng ladies and gentlemen : Mius Kate Crane. Miss M. E Street, Allen N Johuedb, Graham Street and Eugene R. Long. The Cornet Band were seated on the left of the platform, and discoursed excellent music during the evening. Mr Lyon opened the exercises with prayer, after which Prof. Long made a few remarks explanatory of the exer cises of tbe evening. Tbe following is THS riIOORAMXB I Music Essay Miss Kate Crane Music.

Ross Kennedy The essays of Mis-es Kate Crane and M. E. Street were read by Rev. Mr. Kennedy, and he will pardon na f r saying that he scarcely did justice to Miss Crane's fine composition. Th* boys delivered their orations in fine style, particularly Allen N Johnson, of Little Rock, who certainly did credit to the institution of which he is a graduate by hie masterly effort on Tknraday evening last. The»i«li»n delivered by Rev. Roas Kennedy, of Angneta, was an able ef fort and was very appropriate to the occaeion. He enlogixed the in.titn tion ia our midst In the highest terms, and said what every one present felt to I e true, that “onr town and county could well be proud of Ark ansas College." He was frequently applauded during th* course of his re marks, and it waa the nniveraal opin ion of all present that he did entire justice to bi* subject, and we only re gret that our apace will not permit us to publish bis remarks io full. The President of the College, I. J. Long, then stated that the Board of Truateee had conferred the degree ot D. D. upon tbe Rev. Henry B Bonde, of Sherman. Tex**.^ He also returned thank* to ti e Band for the excellent music furnished during tbe evening and dismissed tbe assembly with tbe benediction. Tbe exercises of the College will be resumed on D wm 1 or 80. —Mra.
