NARROW ESCAPE.
A man who chanced to be in Streight's
Teed stable this morning picked up a rifie
that was there, and commenced a gene
ral examination of it. In the careless
handling of the hammer the piece was
discharged, the ball passing out between
a pair of horses and through the side of
the stable. Several persons were near,
and it seemed almost providential that
no one was hurt,

The Eight Mile Grove Baptist Church
will be dedicated Sundaj-, January 1st,
1871. This is the first house for worship
erected by the Baptist denomination in

wood, Iowa, assisted by other ministers,
will conduct the dedication services,
which will commence at 11 a. m. There
will, also,. be services on Saturday even
ing, December 31st. We are assured by
those who have the matter in charge,
that ample provisioa will be made for
the accommodation of all who may be
present at the Saturday evening and
dedication services, and it is expected
that all members of the Baptist denonii
nation, especially, within a reasonable
distance, will be in attendance. There
will be a committee in attendance at the
church to look afrer the wants of all
strangers, and no one need to fear for
a lack of the creature comforts.
THE CONCERT
Given at the Y. 31. C. A. Hall last
evening, taken as a whole, was a sue
cess. The seats were filled at a much
earlier hour than usual an unmistakable
evidence of the interest taken by the
public. It is hardly appropriate that
we should attempt to speak of each of
the performers separately ; and each
filled their place with so much credit
that it would almost seem out of place to
compliment any one of them. Among
the selections which seemed to please
the audience most (although nearly every
piece was cheered with a hearty good
will) were the "Thanksgiving Anthem,"
original music by Prof. L. F. Johnson ;
"A Summer Night,y song, by Miss
Crocker and choir; "Shun the Broad
Road," by Miss Myers; "The Isle in
the Sea," by Mrs. Strong; "Evening
Song," by Mrs. Maryland and choir;
"In the Starlight," by .Miss Crocker and
3Irs. Wise, and "The Beautiful Dream,"
by 3Iiss Crocker. There were .several
instrumental duets that would be hard
to beat an3'where. The proceeds of the
concert were to be divided between the
Congregational Church and Mrs. Crock
er, who had her property destroyed by
fire last week. It is the intention of the
company to give another concert toon,
for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. ; and
we hope they may receive the encour.
agemcnt their merit deserves.
WARWICK'S LECTIKE.
The very least that can be said of Hon J.
II. Warwick's lecture on Christmas, eve
is that it was a complete triumph. JWe
lack words to express our full apprecia
tion of 3Ir. Warwick's great abilities as
a critic of keen and pure sensibilities,
full cf sympathay with his authors, and
professed of a complete power of putting
himself en raport with his audience.
" An evening with Shakspeare and the
Poets" will long be cherished by Mr.
Warwick's friends in Plattsmouth, as
among the happiest evening they have
spent for may a long day No one who
can spare a half dollar should fail to go
and hear him wherever h lectures.
Refinement, wit, pathos, .humor, ren
dered as Warwick does it, is a treat one
only meets once in a great while.
Philip Blessington, formerly a cook at
the City Hotel, and more recently en
gaged in cooking at Ashland, was detect
ed stealing a shawl last evening, and was
"hived" by officer Williams in short or
der. He was taken before Justice
O'Neill for examination, and was com
mitted.for trial at the next term of the
District court. The swawl was ttolcn
from a lady from the country, who had
deposited it in a bucket in Mr. Dovey's
store while she was engaged shopping.
This "Blessing(ton) in disguise" took
the shawl from the bucket, secured a
paper in which to do up his parcel, and
proceeded to deposit it in a wood pile in
the rear of the store, to await the shades
of evening to dispose of it. Williams
interfered with his plans, and he now
has an opportunity to ponder over the
inconvenience of inquisitive officials.
The A. F. Si A. 31. annual Festival
last night, under the auspices of Platts
mouth Ledge No. 6, was a complete suc
cess. There were forty-six couples par
ticipated in' the dance, and probably
fifty-five 'brjsixty couples partook of the
sapper;" The hall was as full as could
br wished by those who desired comfort
thepupper was excellent, the music could
not be better (of course not, the Johnson
boys played), and every one present
seemed to enjoy themselves very much.
The thanks of the fraternity and of the
participants in the festivities are due to
the gentlemen having the management
of the affair.

Prof. D'Allemand will open the winter
term of the above school on Monday, the
2d day of January 1S71. The Professor
is building up a school hero in our city
that will be second to none in the State.
He is here to sty, and parents desiring
their children educated under a single tu
tor, and from one set of textbooks, should
commence to send to the Plattsuioutb
Collegiate School at once. The Prof,
has introduced new methods of teaching
which are believed to be superior to any
thing in use in the State. The following
remarks, which we copy from the visit
or's book, will show what educators who
have examined these methods think of
them.
Nov. 22d. I have visited this school
upon two differant occasions and have
found, it after very careful scrutiny, to
be one of the best conducted institutions
of learning in the State of Nebraska, and
have no doubt of its ultimate great pros
perity. JonN Ml'RFIN.
I have had great pleasure in visiting
3Ir. D'Allcmand's school, and observing
his truly rational and interesting method
of imparting instruction, especially in
foreign languages. Anna T. Wilson.
After having spent one day in Prof.
D'Allemand's school, I feel prepared to
announce that I have not seen the same
interest manifested in any school I have
visited, and I deem it sofe to add, that
if etScicncy in instructions will render a
school a success that the St. Luke's Col
legiate School will soon be second to
none west of the Missouri.
W. A. Patterson,
Supt. Public Instruction.
After an interval of several weeks J
have revisited Prof. D'Allemand's school
and am much gratified by the evidence
manifested by the examination of his
pupils of their great progress in their
studies. I.am satisfied that the Pro
fessors system and method of imparting
instruction are very excellent and a great
improvement upon the usual methods
adopted. I trust the Professor will
meet with that encouragement which his
superior mode of imparting instruction
and his great industry should command.
Jno. W. Uawlin.
Attended the Christmas examination
of the pupils of Prof. D'Allemand's
school, and I take great pleasure in no
ticing the evidently rapid progress they
are making in acquiring a thorough edu
cation, owing doubtless to the thorough
course of instruction for which thu
school is becoming widely known.

The ticket and freight offices of the

We have received a short communica
tion relative to the recent Church Festi
val at Rock Bluffs. It was so late in
reaching us that it would not, probab'y,
be of general interest. Wc learn from it
iu addition to what we have already pub
lished, that the net receips of the Festi
val were $95,00, and that the young
folks had a fine time after the close of
the Festival.
The supper given to the children of
the Presbyterian Sabbath School, at the
Court House, last evening was a fine af
fair. There were about two hundred
children at the table, and nearly as many
adult. There was an abundance to cat,
and at least "seven baskets" of frag
ments remained. They had excellent
mu?ic, and a fine time generally.

PROF. AI.I.EMAir SCHOOL.
On last 3Iouday evening we had the
great pleasure of being a guest at the
rooms of the Collegiate school of Prof.
D'Allemand, and witnessed the. un
burdening of a beautiful and well laden
Christmas tree, to the great joy and mer
riment of the happy little recipients,
whose smiling faces and amiable mien
betokened a thankfulness to tho donor
that words always fail to express; nor
wore the little ones alone the beuefic:aries
of this richly laden tree, for quite a num
ber of the patron friends "children of
a larger growth" were happily sur
prised by the announcement of their
names as sharers in the rich spoi's, and
of whom was no one more noticeable
than the good Professor, who knows how
to impart as well as take a joke. After
the distribution of gifts the Prof., as
sisred I y hi3 estimable lady, added to
the happiness of the already jubilant
and exultant hearts of his pupils, by
calling them from hilarious sport and in
nocent miithfulncss to refreshment
rich and abundant. After the little
f jlks had been bountifully fed, a second
table was prepared with equal care and
abundance, for the adults present, who
partook with a zest of highly appre
ciative taste. After supper the Prof,
gave indubitable evidence of his rare
ability to grasp and appreciate American
ideas and peculiarities, by turning the
occasion to one of speech-making
whereupon Rev. Mr. Alley was called
upon to relate some coincidents respect
ing the early life of himself and Prof.
D'Allemand while residents of "Kil
keny," upon which they both agreed as
being noted for "water without mud -fire
without smoke marble paved
streets and fair ladies." 3Ir. Alley also
addressed some very appropriate re
marks to the pupils respecting amiable
and upright demeanor.
On motion of Rev. 31 r. 3Iurfin, Rev.
J. B. Maxfield was called to the chair,
and after some hurmou3 remark?, rela
tive to his comparative ignorance of the
object of his call to the chair, rebponded
in some well timed and appropriate re
marks in high commendation of the
school and the unique and rare ability of
its founder as an educator, and the great
promise of success to an institution
founded under the auspices of Christ
ianity and upon a basis of correct and
thorough training, which would obviate
the too'frequent necessity of time wasted
in unlearning the errors imbibed, from
the teachings of ignorant and incompe
tent teachers.
On motion of Rev. Mr. Alley, it was
unanimously carried that this meeting
cordially recommend to the public this
institution of learning as highly meriting
their support and patronage.
Prof. D'Allemand then arose, and in
well chosen words thanked the guests for
the high compliments paid him and
their manifest interest and sympathy for
the success of his enterprise.
On motion, it was recommended that
B. Spurlock act as Secretary of the

L. F. Johnson,
Plattsmouth, Dec. 20th. 1870.
The scholars of the Plattsmouth Col
legiate school had a fine tirr e last even
ing at the school room. A "Christmas
Tree' was loaded with all manner of
presents, which were distributed to the
infinite delight of the little ones and the
gratification of the older ones. After
the presents were all distributed, a class
of little girls regaled the assembly with
vocal music, in both English
and German, after which came
speeches of congratulation by dif
ferent gentlemen who were
present. A bountiful supper was in
waiting, and the children were given the
post of honor, as the occasion was one
designed especially for their pleasure
and benefit. The supper was splendid,
and all were supplied with a competence.
Then came a short season of recreation
for the young folks, and then home to
bed, where many a youthful mind
"fought the batile o'er again" in pleas
