The change was made on .Jhe grounds that Mr. Foster’s age and failing powers incapacitated him from performing the duties of the position. R. S. Dwiggins and family left Florida on the 15th inst., and will probably reach home about the Ist of May. We are glad to say that a winter’s stay in the sonth has proved very beneficial to Mr. Dwiggins’ health, and that his friends here report him to be quite well. The reports from C. G.

Remington News.—Mr. and Mrs. William Cotton, of Rensselaer, (formerly of this place) and their daughters, Della and Arilla, attended the fuueVal of Miss Ella Cotton, last Thursday. The English sparrows skip and fight, and flirt and flutter about the streets and buildings just as saucily as though the State Legislature had not declared them outlaws and enemies of the human race, whom any man may destroy.
