ALLEN WRIGHT Eight blind pigs--UNCLE JACK ADAIR, colored, living near Boggy Depot, had a sow that had eight blind pigs in one litter. They are now several months old and will go miles from home and return at night. Instinct seems to answer the place of sight. Two beautiful young ladies arrived in our town this week. From whence they come, or whither traveling, no one seems to know, as their advent was rather mysterious. They are at present stopping with our fellow townsmen, CAPT. W. A. WELCH and MR. U. M.

June 1874 Dear Star The school at Boggy closed yesterday, with a public examination. Quite a number of the patrons and friends of the school were present, and all unanimous in saying that they never witnesses a more satisfactory examination anywhere, even in the States, in the best schools, this was not excelled. MISS C. E. EDDY, our teacher, is a lady possessed of a high Christian character, and has won for herself an enviable position as an educator. At the close of the exercises, the more advanced scholars delivered addresses, which was done in the most creditable manner, and listened to with much interest. To notice all would consume too much time, but I must call attention to the one delivered by FRANK WRIGHT--subject, 'Bad Habits.' Many in the catalogue were noticed and expatriated on in a very forcible manner, especially those of swearing and drunkenness. FRANK is young in years, but old in thought.
