His knowledge of the various translations, and the work1 they did is very exact and evidence ef along and severe course of study la this line. With his knowledge be unites power, presenting it clearly and ably. An effort it now on foot in this city to organise a fire department, and.

this far it has -met with very flattering success. A paper was started a few days ago, in a short time it had received a large number of signatures of parties who agreed to join an organisation of this kind. A meetingfor this purpose will be held at Bragun-ier's Hall on Saturday evening, it is earnestly hoped that all. who have signed the call will be on hand. The paper is now in the hands of H.

Dolde, at the city bakery, where those who wish to sign it may have an opportunity of doing so. It is high time that Peabody had some protection against fire, and we trust the efforts now being made in that direction will be seconded by our citizens. It was Saturday night, the close of the week, when tired humanity had sought that repose which only the virtuous enjoy. The bright, silvery moon 'cast her refulgent rays over the sleeping city, and the gentle zephyrs softly murmured through the branches of the trees. A solemn hush brooded over the face of nature, when there arose on the midnight air the sound of beautiful music.

At first it seemed like a dream, but gradually as the drousy god deserted us, we began to realise that the muBio was a reality. Further investigation developed the fact that the Peabody Orchestra was stationed in front of the Editorial domicil, and discoursing such music as only this organisation can. In the still night air it was perfectly lovely, and the boys have the warmest thanks of the entire family, both families, in fact, for the serenade. The firm of Smith ft Lee, which the same is our townsmen H. E.

The annual school meeting was held on Thursday afternoon last, and was pretty well attended, notwithstanding quite a number labored under the impression that the meeting was not until evening. The principal excitement was over the question ofvotingatax of six mills on the dollar for the purpose of purchasing theRi-venburg property. The question was deoided in the negative by a majority of one vote, and we will ha've to get along with our present facilities for another year. A tax of ten mills on the dollar was levied for teachers wages, and one mill for incidental expenses. Thos.

Osborn was re-elected Director. In another place will be found an account of the burning of the Golden Gate printing office, at Newton, whioh took place on Wednesday evening of last week. We sincerely sympathise with our friend Rood in this loss he was getting his paper on a solid and permanent basis, and it beoame one of the institutions of the State. We trust the blow has not crippled him so bad but that he will soon be able to start again. A man in Marion county was scolding his children, the hired girl, the neighbors and his dog, when his wife interposed a mild word.

On Wednesday next, the Republican County Convention, for the election of delegates to the State and Senatorial Conventions, will be held in this city.
