RATHER OUT OF HIS "SHERE." -- One day last week the upper story of the public school building in this place was found to be occupied by an individual of the porcine persuasion. His presence created quite a sensation among the boys who were determined to oust the intruder, whereupon piggy got his spine elevated, and made a show of resistance, but the boys proved too much for his swineship, and he was forced to vacate with the pious advice to join the first travelling circus that comes along; where his faculties may be appreciated.
A DANGEROUS PLACE. -- The late rains have done some mischief. We notice that a bad place has been washed out at the ford of the Cinque Homme creek on the Jackson road, which has caused some parties to get a ducking. On last Saturday morning Mr. Michael Bergman attempted to cross at the ford with a load of wood, and received some injuries. In order to extricate his horses from the wagon he was compelled to cut the gearing. A mover in attempting to cross at the same point broke a portion of the wagon. This is a dangerous place, and the overseer of district 2 will doubtless see that it is not allowed to remain so long.
THE LITERARY. -- EDITOR UNION: The society, which is to be called "The Platonian, &c.", met last Friday night at the usual hour, Dr. C. A. Mann, the President, in the chair. The programme of the previous evening having been postponed on account of other important business, was taken up, viz: Essay by John H. Nicholson, reading by Judge W. H. Bennett and Jas. L. Crow, declamation by Wm. A Cashion.
Debate on the question: "Resolved, That all persons, male or female of lawful age, and otherwise qualified, possessing taxable property to the amount of one hundred dollars, shall constitute the qualified voters of the school districts of the State." W. H. Bennett read "The Captives Release" in a beautiful, yet impressive style. Jas. L. Crow's reading of "Regulus" was good, although it lacked something of the dignity and sublimity which a personification of the brave old Roman demands. The Soldier's Orphan by Wm. A. Cashion was well done, being rendered with an expression and a pathos that was truly touching.
On motion the regular debate was dispensed with, and the irregular discussion of the subject made the order of the evening. Prominent among those who participated were W. H. Bennett and Dr. C. A. Mann on the part of the affirmative and W. A. Cashion and J. Dalton of the negative. The leading feature of the discussion was, that all parties were willing to grant the right of suffrage to females, hence upon the property clause fell the whole weight of the contest. After a very interesting debate the previous question was moved, and the affirmative were the victors.
STOIC.
On the 11th inst. at Charleston, Mississippi county, a man named King stabbed another named Gray, (both colored) from the effects of which he has died.

Judge Probate & Common Pleas Court
F
The financial precipice to the brink of which Grant's administration has now brought the government is exciting alarm among thoughtful Republicans in Congress. They begin to see that there is only one way to increase the revenue, and that is by reviving the prosperity of the country. That cannot be done without restoring confidence, and confidence cannot be restored while the Southern States are lying prostrate under Federal interference, and the Northern people are alarmed by violent and constitutional acts of the executive. One part of the country cannot be kept in an everlasting turmoil without affecting all parts and we cannot expect a renewal of good times until we have a basis of peace to build up on.
