A few nights since he decided to try his skill in throwing by seeing how many window-lights he could break out of Duke Harris’s store. About the time he had broken two or three, and was secretly congratulating himself on his grand success, one of the Faculty fell upon him like a vulture on his prey.

Saturday evening, Dec. 24th, the ever hospitable Mr. Hundley gave a supper complimentary to Mr. and Mrs. Jeff. Davis. Several friends were invited to participate in the festivities of this pleasant occasion. The festal board was loaded with such delicacies as would tempt the appetite of the most fastidious.
