Last? Monday Eva Hague, jged 14 years.'died very suddenly and un expectedly. Eva was the daughter of Joseph Hague, an Englishman, who has resided in this county the past eix years, and during the last four years has lived upon W. T. Den's farm, two miles north of this city. The de ceased was beloved by all who knew her and the news of her demise caus ed a deep sensation in theoiroleof her immediate acquaintances. On Tuesday last a large fibrous tumor, weighing 1T pounds was taken from under the right" arm of a young man named Burt Little, by TJrs. Mc Pherso'n and Holladay, the former using the knife. This large tumor had only been some thiee months in forming. We had supposed that dV McPhersou had abandoned surgery and medicine, but .in the operation spoken of he took hold like an adept Who had never ceased practicing. The subject of the operation was quite weak for a couple of hours after-the operation, from the" effects of the chloroform administered, after which he felt quite "peart" as he himself expressed it. Sam Ames Was let out of the .In sane Asylum some months since, not as cured, but as harmless and but half crazed, and It is still the opinion of those who .know him best, that were he to abstain from the drinking of liquor, he would have sense enough to manage his business. But this he would not do, and the consequence htiB been, l?t every opportunity which has offered since his release from the Asylum he has indulged in liquor, and through such' indulgence has squandered much of his property. Last Christmas morning he conclud ed to take a trip, and ace rdingly straddled his only horse and rode off, since which time he has not been heard of. Since the foregoing was put iu type we learn that Ames -was intercepted in his flight and the Horse taken from him and sent home. A'mes, however, pushed on a-foot. Last Saturday night Rev. Mr. Nash, the Episcopal clergyman of this place, met with a painfuland well-high fatal accident. Oirihat night the Masous had an Installation: supper at their hall and Mr. N. start ed to go there and participate, but veering a little to the left of the stair way leading thereto, fell some twelve feet into a pit-fall under the stairs and leading in loathe basement of Tjsdel &' Richards' hardware store, where he lay,iinable to rie, until about 11 o'clock, when his groans attracted tlieattention' of the retiring mem bers of the fraternity. Th'e Reverend geritleman-.was taken to an adjoining store, when "it was found that n'o bones were broken, but he was very badly bruised, and .his escape "from deatn was indeed miraculous.

The stage and appurten ances, including the tree, presented a beautiful appearririoe In the evening. The room filled rapidly at an early hour until every available foot of space was occupied and an assemblage of 500 persons was gathered. The open ing anthem by the M. E. Church choir assisted by Messrs Dye and Sykes, "Hark the Herald Angels Sing," was a fine rendering of a grand composition and was well received. This choir, by tho way, has a very just and merited reputation as an ex celent body of singers and, with care fhl training will become a first class choir. The singing, bv the school throughout, was most pleasing and entertaining. 'More songs would have suited the tasteB of the audjenco and and would not have worffe'd them. Of the declamations we must preface that there were entirely too many of them, so that they became monoton ous. Half the number'-wonld have ben Interesting, an would have been well received!

Some of them are deserv ing of especial mention but as such comments are of necessity invidious we abstain from any particularizing. We should add. however, that we are inforniea tha't the programme was ar ranged, not so much for the purpose of making an entertainment for the hearers, but to advance the interests of individual members of the sabbath school deserving of such appreciation by uniform good deportment. At the conclusion of the exercises the distribution of the gifts took place. Mr. Slaughter was the" recipient of & new suit of clothes, others received valuable presents. Miss Fannie Ar nold was the donee of a purse of $25. as a token of appreciation of her ser vices as organist ot the Methodist church It was au Appropriate be stowal of thegift which though of little intrinsic value Was as au ex pression of gratitude which, doubtless was far more satisfactory to Miss Ar nold than a much more valuable purse otherwise than as a token of appreci ation could possibly have been.
