Wo don't com for auob thingi, but ascertaining feat many of our readen wero somewhat excited on tho subject, and knowing that they could not nil attend without aaeniefnf Industrie! interests of the first importance, ire benevolently concluded to go down, wltneM the event, and tell 'em nil about it. For tbuf violently outraging our private feelings to accommodate the publio we are entitled to and Shall deflMMd tho profound grstUndo of our readers. now ws WKNT. There ia nothing like taking an early start when you are going anywhere—especially to a prl/e fight. We accordingly mounted John Rgnn’a train, on the Cincinnati, Indlanapol* and Lafayette road, ThuriUty n* - **' and were whirled alon* —' '** r *' l, at a v/i twenty-five miles an hour, mors or las*. In company With sundry sober and sedate ettlxons, who, Hko ourself, bad urgent business at Cincinnati.

At the Indian spoils depot wo met Chaplain Lozier, with a little black traveling bag on hia arm, evldontty Journaying asst on buslnsasor pleasure. J. Hogarth looked more than usually muscular, and waa apparently in pnmo condition. Ho begged us to aay nothing about It. nn i we don’t Intend to. stmtnesxn jokk. There is a good thing on a party of Jackson county folks who went down on tho train. It i* too good to keep and too cruel to relate. We held It In reserve. In the meantime the ourlon* can apply for Information to the hero of the (Jolden Klecce. HipiNQ ON A tOCOMOTIV*. Conductor Kgan maliciously dropped an allu. alon to tho romance of railroading, ae experienced In a night ndo on the locomotive. We wero ass enough to fall into the trap, and In company with another Imbecile accepted a comfortable seat pointed out by engineer Hobbs, where, by bolding tightly to the ratling, we stood a slim ebanee of not tumbling off In the course of the Infernal vibration, and whore, by the exercise of eternal vigilance, we might possibly eieaps burning off a few inches of our feet upon tho rod bet furnace. Riding on the locomotive la a good thing, but a little of it goes n great ways with a moderate man. We are free to admit that we have had anough of It. Wo got on the engine at Lawreneeburg and got off at Delhi. It Is said to be ten mllea from one place to tho other. We are Inclined to the belief it is at least fifty, One’s sensations while riding on the locomotive possess the charm of novelty. At first you are pleaaed with the motion and tho lookout from the window. Tho dark, ahadowy hills and tho ghostly trees go flitting by In a continuous procession, and tha lateral motion ef tho machine D rather grateful. But tho infernal stoker continues to chuck legs of wood into the seething furnace, and by and bys the engineer docs something to an Iron bar, when the Iron horse bountla madly forward, plunging, rearing and curvetting. There Is an appearance ef greater speed than is really being made, and you feel an uneasy sensation gradually creeping over you. You grasp the railing convulsively, and begin to ealeulate the effect of being shaken off and smashed to plooee on the track. -You try to Imagine the aeneatlon of coming in contact with the solid earth, and speculate upon the probable number of pieces Into which your various bones will break. Finally you experience that strange sensation which a ill tots persons loohlng down upon the earth from a lofty elevation, and are conscious of an almost irrepressible longing to throw yourself bodily from the window, and end It all In a moment. Apprehensive that sueh will (>c the case, you turn hastily away, and look forward, where tho broad glare of the head light I* thrown upon the track. You eee strange lights ahead, and we horrified with apprehensions that another train la approacblig and a collision ia inevitable. In the meantime the engineer is leaning out of the opposite window, keeping a vigilant look out ahead. What a weight of responetbllity reete upon the shoulders of that brawny, soot-begrimed man. A broken rati—a log or a dilatory eow upon the track—a misplaced switch—and the throng of careless paeaengers In the coaches may be in a moment converted Into a mangled and mixed up mass of broken aeeke, legs, arms and ribeBut all thing* must have an end. The fifty or sixty miles between Lawreneeburg and Delhi were finally accomplished. We get off with alacrity, mentally resolving that tf Conductor Kgan and Ragiaeer Hobba ever wanted another man to ride upon their locomotive, they might hunt up somebody else. The reader will please excuse the above digression, and in the meantime wo arrive at ClN-CnS-NAn-TAtl!

A halt of twentr minutes was mad*. A German be** nous* stood invitingly near, and n o^wd of roughs, whose erleped bowel* were clamorous for matutinal cocktails, made a rush for It. A dingy yellow curtain wee drawn back from tho window m tnawer to fee resonant knock* and kick* at the front door, n bread female face, framed In a frilled nightcap, not overly clean, peered out a moment, and wife feat shrewd practical knowledge ef human nature which comes of selling whisky, took tho measure of fee erowd at a glance. The dingy Rills of the nightcap vibrated responsive to fee angry negative shakes ef tho bead, and the curtain fell. The knock* wero repeated, however, and fee woman Anally opened Ihe door. In an Inetent the thirsty bummers swarmed la like as IrrupWon of the Goths, and the fair hoatess began serving them. Her quick and praetteed eye toon detected the transfer of Hake of sausage, onkes, and otbor property to the pocket# of the rough*, and she made a determined charge upon them, banging right and left with a mop which she picked up. The room was cleared In feat minute, and Indivisible period of Ubm known as a "jiffy,” the evacuation of the tardiest rough being hastened by the application of a stout, heavy shoe to the vicinity of hie coccyx. The roughs took their expulsion good-humoredly, though the one who was kb ked out did pick op a brick, and look longingly at tho yellow-curt lined windowmp* ffiUHTNTD. roi ground selected for the mill, waa roaebed about six. It lies six miles above Hamilton, and belongs to a staid old gentleman named Buseabark, of the Baptist persuasion. It Is In Butler county, and was selected by Jones’ friends, who won the choice of ground In n toss up. McCoole preferred to flght la fete State near Lawreneeburg. There Is an on dit to fee (fleet that the worthy sheriff of Butler county tendered the party the freedom ef bis bailiwick, and told them they might fight In fee eourt house square, tf they wanted to. All be asked wae a front seat and frae ticket, Tha ground waa a level plateau of wood pasture, about twenty rods Rom the road, shaded by oak, walnut, maple and ash trees, and carpeted with a light sward of blue grass. On arrival, it was discovered that a large number of person* were already on the ground, having come In various vehicles, and on fee down train from Dayton. Tho morning was claar and pleasantly cool, and It waa hoped that everything was ready, and that the fight would come off Immediately, before the beat became oppressive. Unfortunately, however, the rlag had not been pitched, and we were fated to undergo a long and vexatious delay. At soon as the passengers disembarked, a general rush was made for available trees, and they were soon full of people, in some instances aa high as twenty or thirty being parched among the branches of a single tree. A large black walnut, with a clear htght of forty fast without a limb, stood invitingly near the ring. A burly fellow, evidently from the rural districts, began the ascent, looking for all tha world like a hug* black boar. Ha got nearly up to fee lint ’imb, where a huge knot swell* out from fee trunk, and then failed. He camo down by the run, tearing the skin from hts hands on the rough bark, and falling n distance of fifteen feet. Some twenty others tried H with a llke'rcsult, until it came to bo considered an Impoaalblllty. Finally a bandy-legged, thin-visagad young follow bet #10 to #00 be could climb It Ho wont up like a squirrel and pocketed tha

money.

The ground wa* so bard feat tb# bolos had to be drilled In It with a crowbar to Insert the stake*, and .the crowd, with Irrepressible curiosity, crowded so close around feat it was Impossible to do anything. Jerry Donovan, and others of the muscular gentlemen stormed and raved, but all to no purpose. Finally a citizen made a serious speech to the crowd, and"Induced them to fall back. The rings were pitched, first an outer one, a hundred and twenty feet In diameter, anil then fee ring proper, which was of regul rtion size— twenty-four feet square, with five foot stakes and two ropes running round. Inside the outer ring, and squatted cross-legged like Turks, in the dust sat some sixty or seventy representatives of fee press, comprising all the principal papers of fee east and west, aa well at occasional luminaries who irradiate the column* of the •'Ihtngtown Bugle,” tha “HijUlintown Pillar of Fire,” and other rural journal*. For the** eligible locations the press are Indebted to tho courtesy of fee musclemen and fee foresight of Mr. Henderson, who evinced throughout, a disposition to oblige bis fellowjournalist. Loud eoaapiatata ware roads ia the outeida ring. In regard to fee) partlality # exhibltad toward tho press, but the most incorrigible of fee grumblers ware silenced by threats of punehes “in the snoot,” and finally submitted with a good grace to what they couldn’t remedy. Outside the inner ring, and just behind fee cordon of cross-legged reporter*, a detail of special policemen, armed wife clubs, patrolled to keep ofder. Occasionally some fellow in Ihe inner circumference of tha outer ring would make himself obnoxious to his neighbors, whoa a fearful cry of?*put him outf* would bo ratted. The special policemen would then take him, despite hts remonstrances, and seat him la some other part of the crowd, with an Injunction to mind his eye. COINTX* ATTRACTION*. Finding tha fight did not begin, tha erowd fiaally thlaaedout from arouad the ring, and proceeded to patronize sundry sweat cloths established oa fee ground, where they proved the truth of the old saying, "the more you lay down the less you take up.” Sundry peripatetic rum mill* ware well patronized by laaprovldent people, who com*) away without making the necessary preparations, and thousands oi vitreous quadrants if ashed In fee sunlight, aa their owners took solar observation*, preparatory to working out a "dead reckoning.” W# ascertained, by Inquiry of a friend, that fee price of wMeky was fifty eeata pqy drink, w bile lager could be bad ftr a quarter. *ir>x lascxa.

MCCOOLE.

Mike McCoole was born near Londonderry, Ireland, on the iCfe of March, 19.1T, and is now, consequently, la bis thirty-first year. He crossed the Atlantic wan early age, floated around New York for several yews, and subw quentiy migrated toward southern and western territory, la hia youth be gskaed quite s notoriety aasong a certain daea, being regarded m a very expert boxer, and wm always on hand whenever there was occMlon for the display of pugilistic propensities. He ta a powerfully built man, wife broad and massive shoulders, and possesses grew muscular strength and powers of endurance. He girts forty-six laches around fee body at tho presow time. He hss a huge, bulky appearance, but ie by no means clumsy, as he moves about very nimbly in the ring, executing many feats few require remarkable agility and quick motion, which are the more noticeable on account of hit immenw weight. When be commenced training for the coming mill wife Jones, be weighed some two hundred and forty pounds. Hta weight, on the 13fe Instant, wm one hun-

dred and ninety-eight pounds.

McCoole’s record in fee ring does not embody many contest!, he having fought in all only five, in four of which ho wm victorious, and since hta memorable mill wife Davis taet summer be claims to be the M champion of America,” having won a belt therein which bears that title. The belt Is on exhibition at fee saloon kept by McCoole, on Fifth street. SL Louts. It Is thirty-four laches long and four inches wide, composed ef nine plates, fee Inner five plates being solid eighteen carat gold, and tho outside four plates being made of coin silver—the plates all being attached to a fine morocco belt. On the center plate ia

tosoP^LordJRyx.1

engraved iro eagle^erched uponfee American either side bearing a representation of the prize ring. It coat #.150, and la very highly

prized > j the winner.

McCoole’s first fight WM fought In the month of July, 1959, near Louisville, Kentucky, hia opponent on few occMlon being n tail, stalwart Irishman named Nerrv. The fight wm for a purse of #100. It iMted but seventeen minutes, running through eight rounds, Nsrry being terribly worsted, while Mike emerged from fee conflict as fresh m n

drtsy,

Hta second fight took place on fee 27th of June, 1959, twelve mtles above Louisville, within fee borders of fee State of Indiana. Bill Blake alia* Dublin Tricks was hia competitor on this occasion, fee stakes being a purse of #200. This wm a bard contest—fee tug of war that arose from the conflict of Greek wife Greek. Mike had hta naaai organ fearfully damaged on fee occasion, hta eyes nearly closed, and was much bruised generally. He Wood up to fee work, however, manfolly, and finally succeeded to knocking Blake out of time and winning the purse. Blake wm recently training McCoole for hia coming light wife Jones, but be took umbrage at Mike one day for tome trivial matter and left him. Dublin Tricks ta no slouch In fee ring, and be bM of lata been beard to express fee opinion few he can whip Mike. Their fight tasted tblrty-ono and a half minutes, wife twenty-

nine rounds.

Hta third flght wm wife Tom Jennings, and took place near New Orleans,on fee 2d of May, 1901. Jennings ta a heavier man than McCoota, and a desperate hitter. Thta mill attracted considerable attention throughout the country at fee time. It wm for a purse of #600. McCoole was fee victor In twenty-seven rounds, occupying felrty-feree minutes. Hta fourth end probably most noted mill was with Joe Coburn, which wm fought on the 2d of May, 1908, at Havse de Grace, Cecil county, Maryland, for one thousand dollars a side and fee championship. This wm n terrific conflict of sixty-seven rounds and iMtlng one hour and nineteen minutes, Coburn being

an easy victor.

McCoole’s fifth and law fight took place In HHnois, fifteen miles below Alton, on the 19th of September, 1990. Bill Davto, hta opponent, was worsted in few mill. The fight wm for a purse of one thousand dollars and a belt. It lasted through thirty-four rounds and thirtyfour minutes. Davis wm n whipped man from the start. McCoole proving more than a match for him, being a harder bitter. McCoole was much fee heavier man of the two, and damaged hta antagonist on several occasions throughout tb* fight by fee weight of hta own

person falling on him.

McCoole’s forte In fighting consists In the *1 nr dines* std force of the blows given wife his tight bund, which are administered wife terrific earnestness and aever fail to do execution where a lauding ta effected. He lacks In science and expertness, but la bull dog tenacity and endurance ta not surpassed by any

pugilist la America.

TUX SFOONPO.

About nine o'clock, the accessories to the fight entered Jbe ring. Jim Custck, Jones' trainer, walked around and took n critical view of the situation, footing the ropes, and taking observations of the son, with n view to selecting the best corner, in cnee he st win the toss up. Cusick ta ssmall, thin i hatchet faced, swarthy, eloM shaven, with fee exception of s moustache, and with brilliant black eyes. He appeared M coot m am Icicle, and withal, shrewd and self-possesaed.

McCoole abed bfenementtautolm, and ufepteyed a pair of blue flannel drawers, ending at the knee, wife s continuation ef white stocking, displaying n monstrous calf, hard m tauter. Jones wan dressed la white drawers, and, 1bough showing a tolerable leg it was a pipe stem compared wife McCootal*. The upper dotting was removed, tanvteg fee bodies naked to the waist, whew the contrast between the two gtadiators became alarming, ly apparent. McCoole showed prodigious muscle in fee arm, standing out In great knots when ho crooked hta elbow, wrrbtetd wife fee chest of »giant. Hta breast wm covered like a wild beast with a thick growth of shaggy black hair. He did not appear, however, lobe hi a first rate condition, the foott of bad training. He wm too fleshy by nt least ten pounds, sod seemed to tack solidity, Jones, on fee contrary, seemed ta be ta excellent case. Hta physique wm VMtly Inferior, but there wm not an ounce of superfluous fleoh on him, and it wm evident feat he bad received ati the bsoedt that could be derived foom the trainer's art. The appearance of the two men changed the current of the betting. McCoota’e friends, who were out in force (Tom Chicago and St. Louis, began to snap up fee beta at odds offered by the Jones men on first blood, and fee even beta on the first knock down and fee final result. The Jouo men suddenly became cautious and reticent. THK FIGHT. Everything being ta rendtaeM the parties and their seconds walked to n mark ta the center of fee rlag. which, on inquiry we learned to be the "scratch.” Jones sod McCoole made a private bet of #1,000 each, which waa deposited In the baade of the referee. After depositing fSn *1 mo s «m bad a little roll osasMsiWT In hta bands. Walking up to McCoole, be said in a clear, distinct, but hurried voice, “ I’ll bet you #100 on fee first knock down.” "Got no more money,” said Mike, sentenUcudy, as be walked to his corner, smiling sardonically. "I’ll bet anybody #100 on the first knock down,” said Asreo, depositing ha roll in the hands of the referee, where it wm soon covered by McDonald, proprietor of the Buckeye eating saloon. Tkc seconds and principles walked to fee scratch, crossed hands, and then separated, fee principals going to their respective corners, sad fee seconds out of the ring. Time wm called and the fight began. Bound 1.—McCoole came dancing to the scratch where he wm met by Aaron, and the two gladiators put up their bands. The petition of Jones wm artistic and graceful—everything, in feet that could have been desired. MeCoole, on the contrary, showed fee novice ta hta manner of carrying hta mauleys. 9weh wm the disparity In slxe and strength, however, that Jones’ backers began to distrust the utility of hta science. McCoole had n great advantage ta hie length of ranch—an advantage partly overbalanced, however, by hta confessed inability to use hta left hand effectively. Less than ten seconds wm consumed ta sparring when Aaron made n feint wife his left but did not press fee matter to an Issue. Mike Impatient of delay, sailed ta wife vigor. Jones launched out wife hta left and caught McCoole on fee neck, under hta ear- At the same time McCoole countered heavily, catching Aaron on the right eye sod knocking him clean off hi* pins. First blood and first knock down for McCoole. This blow not only decided the two first events but also the fight. Jones wm picked up and carried to hta corner. A purple discoloration wm visible around the orbital cavity from fee center of which hta little enaky eye •hone forth glassy and watery. His countenance wore n wild, startled and astonished look, and it wm evident that he had serious doubts of winning the flght. Bound 2. — Jones cams to fee scratch promptly,but evidently wife n wholesome dread of Mike’s terrible light. Cautious sparring until McCoole rushed In, but Jones got sway, Mike following. Jones got home lightly on 3Iike’s left eye, received a light body blow, and slipped down. Bound 3.—McCoole appeared anxious to rush fee fighting, while Jones’ tactics were to make a long flght and try to worry his opponent. Heavy counters, Jones on Mike’s forehead and Mike on the body. Jones landed n hot one on HcCoole’s none, drawing bl5od freely, and then dropped. Jloun.i 4.-Jones led off, letting fly both right and left, and getting home on McCoole’s damaged optic. He caught one ia return on hta ribs, by this time getting pretty sore. Jones went down under the pressure of McCoole’s right on hta ribs. Bound 5-—McCoole bored Jones to his corner, but the latter dodged him. Cautious sparring followed by heavy exchangee. Fighting quick and sharp.

The general feeiing ta one of profound disappointment nt the result. Jones utterly foiled to (nine up to the expectations of hi* baekera, or to Justify hta previous reputation, white McCoole wan found to bo quicker and mere agile than wan expected, and apt so destitute of science as bad been reported. The poor fight made by Jones can only he accounted for on fee auppontlon feat Ifefcao.Mta Mo best days. He wm in splendid eondflfoD, but is probably several years older than tae ta represented. Dissipation and taet Imag have undermintd his constitution. HI* injuries received in fee late fight are quite serious, and may result ta death. He wm insentible for ten minutes after reoeiving hta coup de prate, nod for bod * hours after vomited incessantly. The blew over tote left eye produced qoucuaalon of fee brain, and ta addition be ta said to be laboring under congestion of the left lung. If be lives, however, tt ta not probable that he will ever enter the ring again as a principal. He wm conveyed Saturday night to bis place of training, where Custck and his other friends will see that he has every attention. His principal backer, Franklin, still sticks to him, notwithstanding his terrible defeat. McCoole did. not coma off scatheless. His forehead and fcce are severely gashed, one eye Is closed, and his chest is swelled from the effect of body blows, bat be wm well enough to get roaring drunk Saturday night. Alter fee flght be leaped the ropes, then vaulted over a staked and ridered fence, and ran —sea Uu to tho farm house where he had passed fee night, like a deer. THE SOUND OF A BODV BLOW. Take a half brick, hurl tt with all your might into fee flank of an ox, and you have a folr representation of the " feud ” which followed one of McCoole’s " rib-roasters.” duration of the hill. The fighting was unprecedentedly rapid, being finished in exactly twenty-six minutes. Take out the thirty seconds allowed for recuperation after each round, and it reduces the actual fighting time to about ten minutes. McCoole was determined to force the fighting, and would not be denied, while Jones’ strategy wm of the Fabian order. Ufa aim was to worry his brawny antagonist by dodging, exasperate him until be lost his temper and Judgment, close* hU. peepers, and then settle him. He reckoned without his best. GETTING AWAY. As soon as tt wa. evident thet the thirtyfourth round had settled Janes’hash, a rufe was mode for the. ring, and Jones’ seconds drew their p'slo's to protect him in case any violence should he offered. An experienced friend, who bos seen num < ’roU3 mill?, suggested that it would be healthy to flit, and we accordingly lit out. In five seconds fee bulk of the crowd had left the ground. Fortunately there was no disturbance. Coming down on the train. McOwLe went through tbe ear, and took up a collection for the poor, battered wretch whom he had well nigh beaten to death, leading off with a contribution of #59. We do not know how much was realized, but MeCoole’s felt hat was crammed ftM and pressed down with biffs of various denominations. A RETIRED PROFESSIONAL. While fee ring was being prepared, a retired prize fighter, who looked to be about seventy years of age, was busy in arranging matters. He wm old, thin, and infirm, but hta eye glistened with the eld fire, as he took in the arrangements, and he looked as if he woulded he were a boy again. ANOTHER FIGHT. It is not probable that McCoole will be permitted to rest on hia laurels. At the ground a challenge to fight the victor was delivered from Jim Elliott, of Cleveland. Elliott came down Saturday night, and had an interview wife McCoole. The Utter promised to give him a definite answer ro a tew days. Elliott is a very large man. and, if properly trained, would prove a match in strength for McCoole. If fee fight comes off it will be no child’s play.

Miss Kate Fletcher.—The patroas oL fee Metropolitan, who will honor the night of the reason wife their preseacr, will gtadtp hail fee reappearance of thta charming aefoeM as a member of the company. Aithoaghnot a native ok this city, Mies Fletcher may be Sold lo have received her thestrieai education here, and fs thoroughly identified wife our people. She was bora to Memphis to 1847. A* both her father and m ither were on fee stage fee may ba said to have been born into tile profession. She mode her first ap. penmnee at Wood’s theater, Cinuussti, in 1960,oa tha occasion of fee benefit of h»r father, Mr. Wi{Ifsm Fletcher, first old man. In 1862 she engaged with Felix Vmeant, la feta city, to play minor parts. Q tick to perceive molt ta a new baguner, Mr. Vincsnt soon discovered that there was gtx d material in little Katie, and she was rapi lly advanced. She has played three a—a ia this city, two of them with Vincent. She also went through a season tu Albany, New York, and one ta Nafeville, as leading lady. She was engaged th the same capacity last season at fee Nashville theater, but fee appearance of fee cholera broke up fee company, and Mis* Fletcher came to this city, where she volunteered for ene or two performances, on benefit occasions. Her friends were agreeably surprised at fee manifest improvement made, and the Journ 1 complimented her very highly. With fee people of NaakvtUe Miss Fletcher woe a great favorite. On one occastta her friends bought off Kate ftofgnolds tor the purpose of giving bar a complimentary benefit. Notwithstanding te exorbitant price paid for fee haB, ami the exMtiouaof Miss Keignoldi, who doos not appear to have voted with her usual amtebtifty OB feta occaotan, fee benefit wm n splendid tuccesa, and the young actress realized a handsome sum over all expenses. The moat gratify ing feature of the occasion, however, was the presentation of a beautiful edameled and diamond-studded gold watch—a substantial testimonial from her numerous admirers. After the breaking op of the NashvlTte company Mu* Fletcher played a short season at fee Theater Comique, Cincinnati, and made a very favorable impression upon the people of

fee Queen city.

In private life Miss Fletcher is equally as attractive as on fee stage. In physique she is petite and fragile, with n face which, while it might not be called handsome-, is deeide<Hy interesting. Her manner i* artless and winning and conveys the Impression of a sincere, earnest nature. She has many friends outside her thaatric il admirers, and has the facu’ty of re-

taining them.

I’rofesstonally Miss Fieteher is still in process of development, with a hopeful promise f >r the future. She h is a quick study, wife the ambition to attain a higher position than she now occupies. Iter acting is cf the quiet order, as far m possible removed from fee labored rant which is so common wife muscular actresses. We anticipate a much more satisfactory season at fee Metropolitan than the last turned out to be. raartwa Cwtaaty N•ratal lustitnte. The annual meeting of this organization was held in this city daring the past week, beginning on Monday, August 26, and continuing in session five days. The sessions were held in the High School building, northwest corner iff Circle and Market streets. Ninety-one names were enrolled as members. All instruction in tbe primary branches was given by Miss A. P. Funnelle and Miss N. Cropsey. Mr. A. C. Shortridge taught orthography and mental arithmetic. Mr. P. Bond taught geography, wife map drawing, and theory and practice. Mr. Thomas Charles taught practical arithmetic. Messrs. W. H. Demotte, O. J. Morgan, and M. D. Barnard, also assisted in fee instructions. The teachers unite In saying, “ We have had a good institute.” A good spirit was mani-

fested throughout.

Professor G. W. Hoss was present n part of

fee last day, and made a short address.

Before adjournment, the following resolu-

tions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, Mr. Pleasant Bond has been

sociated with us for a number of years aa earnest and faithful laborer in the cause of education, and for the last, two years has served us as an efficient county examiner; and Whereas, he is now about to change his place of residence to a neighboring State;

therefore,

Besolved, That while we regret hta loss from among us here, our earnest desires go wife him for hta highest success in his new

field of labor.

WhereAg, Our present county examiner. Pleasant Bond, contemplates resign in g that

office ta a short time: and

WHEREAS, Said office requires fee services i of a thoroughly experienced teacher; there-

fore,

Benolved, That we recommend to fee proper authorities fee appointment of Mr. W. A. Bell to fill til* vacancy occasioned by fee resigna-

tion.

Tbe institute adjourned wife Doxology. ISTWe regret to announcO the death of Mr. Walton P. Good, long connected wife fee typographical profession. Mr. Good learned hta trade ta the Journal office, and for many years worked in the old Sentinel establishment. He removed from here to Newcastle and for several years published tbe Courier ta that place, making it, while under his management a very readable and influential paper. From thence be went to Logan sport and engaged ta the hardware busineas/tying there bom dysentery on Saturday last. Mr. Good wm an excellent man. Hta genial manners, warm and generous beart attached to him devoted friends wherever he went, and his kind wotds for all, and his many good deeds will be long chermfeed in the memory of those who knew him. Mr. Good married a daughter of Samuel Beck, Esq., tf thta city, who, wife two ehildren^nourtt the loss of a devoted husband and father. l>e remains tf fee deceased will be brought to this city for interment and they will be buried by the Masonic fraternity. KWThe greatest sensation of the season is te balloon ascension marriage advertised to eoose off during the ganger feat at Indianapolis. Two commendable persons, who believe no doubt in the saerednem tf fee command to “multiply and replenish,” are going to ascend aa near future bliss ns they can while they- enter “present rivriuim.” We suggest that “ye Local” tf fee Hkealp should accompany the aspiring pair, for two reasons: First, it will fee m near heaven m he will ever get; and, secondly, so he may see feat what has begun so well with that pair tell end wetter.
