Little Rock Theatre - The admirers of the drama still continue
to be nightly entertained and amused by the representations as this
establishment. Among other pieces, the pantomime of Valentine and
Orson was performed with tolerable success, on two nights last week.
The company generally acquitted themselves well; and Miss Armstrong,
in the character of Pacolet, and Mr. Fielding, in the part of the
bear, were excellent.
On Saturday night, Knowles tragedy of Virginius was presented. The
hero of the piece was sustained, and ably by Mr. Douglass, who has
evidently gives the character some study since his last performance
of it. Perseverance and hard, close study, will make him a tradegian
of no ordinary rank; and we regret that we have not a wider field
for the development of his histrionic talents. He was well supported
in Virginius, by Mrs. Waters, who has proved herself a tragic
actress of considerable merit. |

SPRING-HILL MALE ACADEMY
THE winter session of this Institution will open on the 1st day of
January. A large and commodious brick building is being erected, and
will be completed for the reception of the school. The Trustees have
employed Mr. W.C. Hamner, A.B. in whose qualifications they have
entire confidence, and doubt not that the School will be the School
will be of such a character as to recommend itself to all the
patrons of liberal education. The course of instruction will be
thorough and extensive, embracing all the studies requisite to a
student upon entering any of the colleges of our country.
The location of this Institution is a matter which ought not to be
overlooked by those having sons to educate. Perhaps no situation in
the south is so free from disease, or the causes of disease, as
this. It is high and dry, with good water, and a pure air; and the
community round about the institution is probably not surpassed by
any in the State, for intelligence, morality, and refinement.
Boarding for boys can be obtained in the village or vicinity, from 8
to 10 dollars per month.
The session will close the last of May.
For the Languages (Latin and Greek) $20.00
English Grammar and Geography $15.00
Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic $10.00
the higher English branches $20.00

Bill for Divorce
AND now, on this day, came the complainant, by Conway, his
solicitor, and it appearing from the return of the Sheriff, that the

in his bailiwick, she having failed to enter her appearance herein
and plead, demur, or defendant, against the said bill as required by
law and the rules of this court.
It is therefore ordered by the court, that she appear here, on or
before the first day of the next term of said court, and enter her
said defence as required by law and the rules of this court, on the
allegations in said bill, or said bill will be taken as confessed,
and a decree entered up accordingly; and it is further ordered, that
a copy of this order be published for six successive weeks, in the
Arkansas State Gazette, a newspaper printed in this State, and that
this cause be continued until the next term of this Court.

THE TOWN OF LAYNESPORT
A SALE of lots in the Town of Laynesport, will take place on
Saturday, the 23d of February next, on the premises, to the highest
bidder. Six months' credit will be given. Notes with approved
security will be required of purchasers. Titles indisputable.
In take the above ssteaps, I have been encouraged by the
solicitations of a number of persons will accquainted with the
geographical situation of this part of Arkansas, and the advantages
that may be expected from the location of a town at the place
selected for the town of Laynesport. From the solicitude expressed
and the interest evinced by them for the prosperity of this part of
the State, and particularly the thriving county of Sevier, I have
been induced to risk my own private interest, trusting in their more
general knowledge.
To those acquainted with the situation of Laynesport, comment would
be useless, but for the information of strangers, let it suffice to
say, that it is located in Sevier county, at the intersection of the
Choctaw line with Red River, and is 8 or 10 feet above high water
mark, - immediately adjoining Walnut Prairie, where the main road
crosses, leading from Washington to Sulphur Fork and Texas, and
where the great western military road most eventually cross Red
River; it being the only good crossing or even landing place on the
North side of the river, for 30 or 40 miles up or down. For a place
of trade, its contiguity to the Choctaw Nation on the N.W., Texas on
the South, from which it is only separated by the river and the
flourishing county of Sevier on the N.E., with the large body of
bottom as well as upland by which it is immediately surrounded, will
make it a place not to be excelled, or perhaps equalled, by any town
on our Southern inland waters. When it is known that it is the
highest point on Red River, where the white citizens of the United
States can perhaps ever extend their interprize, its importance as a
place of deposits and land will at once be seen.

TRUST SALE
BY virtue of a deed of trust to me duly executed, on the 6th day of
January 1837, and duly recorded in the office at the Clerk of the
Circuit Court of Lafayette county, State of Arkansas, by John B.
Morrah and Elisha Battle, of the county of Hinds and State of
Mississippi, for the sure and punctual payment of a certain sum of
money, by the said Morrah to the said Battle, as expressly declared
in the deed:
Now, whereas, the conditions of the obligation, as explicitly set
forth in said deed of trust, not having been complied with, in
accordance with the intent and purpose of the contract, I will on
the second MOnday in March next, upon the premises sell for case,
the following described tracts or parcels of land, viz; The south
1/2 of section 31, townshp 15 south, or range 24 west, containing
326 acres, and thirty six hundredths, the northeast 1/4 and east 1/2
of northwest 1/4 of section 31, township 16 stouh, range 24 west,
containing 240 acres; the southeast 1/4, the east 1/2 of the
southwest 1/4, the west 1/2 of the northeast 1/4 and the east 1/2 of
north west 1/4 of section 30, township 16 south, range 24 west,
containing 400 acres; the north-east 1/4 of section 6, township 17
south, range 24 west, containing 162? acres, and ninety two
hundreths - or so much thereof as shall satisfy the note now due and
unpaid, as provided in the said deed.
The said land, situate, lying, and being, in Red river bottom, in
the county of Lafayette, is of superior quality, and immensly
valuable. Such title will be made to the purchaser, or purchasers as
is vested in me by the said deed of trust, which is deemed
indisputable.

Fayetteville, Arkansas, November 14, 1838
Dear Sir - It is expected that there will a new county formed out of
Marion and a part of Izard, at this session of the legislature; and
if so, there must, necessarily, be a new judicial circuit formed,
and, consequently, new officers to elect. Now, if this new
arrangement is gone into, I wish my name to be run for the office of
Prosecuting Attorney in the circuit including Carroll county. The
arrangement spoken of is, to let Carroll, Johnson, Pope, Marion, and
the new county spoken of, compose one judicial circuit. If so, I
have no objection if this is done. Please attend to having our
courts to come on at at a convenient season of the year, that is in
the spring and fall.
Yours respect'y,
J.M. Wilson
I do certify that the above is a true copy of Mr. Wilson's letter,
sent to me at Little Rock in November last. F.G. Wilburn.
Mr. Wilson states in a recent publication, something about being
ineligible to said office. I think myself that he is for Prosecuting
Attorney, and for Circuit Judge, until he kills some Indians, or
cuts down some of the forest in this State to populate his name.

described tract of land, to the said John A. Lynn, his heirs, and
assigns; when and where all persons interested, or who can set up
any right, title, or claim to the land thus purchased, or redeemed,
in consequence of any informality, or any irregularity, or
illegality, connected with such sale, or redemption, or for any
other cause or defect whatsoever, are hereby cited and admonished to
attend, either in person, or by attorney, and show cause, if any
sufficient ones they have, why the said sale, or redemption, shall
not be confirmed by the said circuit court, and the title to the

meaning of the above recited act of the General Assembly of the

Fire - The new frame building owned and occupied by Dr. A.
Sprague, in this city, was entirely consumed by fire, on Monday
morning last. Most of his furniture was saved. Owing to the
exertions of the citizens, none of the surrounding buildings were
injured. The loss (about $2,500) would have been saved to him, had
an insurance company would have been located in the city. A bill
introduced in the legislature last session, to charter such an
institution was lost in consequence of the hurry of some of the
members to reach their homes.
Several recent alarms have warned our citizens of the necessity of
procuring engines and apparatus for fighting fires, and we are glad
to learn that the city authorities have commissioned a gentleman who
recently started to the east to purchase an engine &c., for the
city. Had one been on the spot on Monday morning, the home of Dr.
Sprague might have been saved with but little damage. It will be
well enough to organize a fire company, in readiness for the engine
when it arrives here and for more efficient action in case another
fire occurs while we are destitute of such a machine. An
advertisement calling a meeting of the young men, in the lower part
of the city, for the formation of a company, will be found in
another column. |

Fire works - We were gratified by a very handsome display of
fire works, got up by some amateur pyrotechnists of our city, at Mr.
George's garden, on Monday night last. What with theatre, fire
works, &c. we have now, in about the 20th year of the existence of
Little Rock, all the amusements and recreations of an old settled
community. We anticipate another exhibition of the same sort, as
soon as the spring fairly opens, from the hands of Mr. V. Pepin,
well known, for many years, as an equestrian leader, throughout the
United States, who is now busily engaged making the necessary
preparations. He will, we understand, be willing to teach a class of
ladies and gentlemen in horsemanship, an art in which few of our
citizens are deficient, but in which instruction from an able
teacher like Mr. P., would add to the grace of those who are already
proficient. He can be found at Mr. Peay's hotel. |

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS REWARD
RAN AWAY from my farm, in MeMinn county, E. Tenn., about the 1st
December last, my boy LEWIS, near 17 years old, a bright mulatto,
well grown, round face, smooth featured, and likely, hair nearly
straight, flax color, no particular mark about the face, there may
be a small scar on one cheek, probably punctured by the blade of a
knife; on one of his legs there is a scar, from above or on the
knee, to near the ankle; the second toe of one of his feet has been
broken, and turns out; feet and ancles very large, he is quite
intelligent, lively, talkative, and witty, uses good language, is a
cunning rascal, and deceptious liar; had a variety of clothing,
generally of good quality, found of dress, proud, and inclined to be
foppish.
This boy and another vilian made an attempt last fall to get in with
a party of emigrating Indians to Arkansas and may now be in the part
of the territory set apart for the Cherokee. I have heard that he
descended the river, in a boat, about the last of December; he may
have imposed himelf on the owner of the boat for a free fellow, or
the owner of the boat may have assumed ownership of the boy, and
made some disposition of him or assigned him to get below the Muscle
shoals, whree he might get aboard a steamboat as cabin boy, until he
would gain the point he wished.
I will pay the above reward to any person who my lodge the boy and
thief in any jail in the U. States; fifty for the boy if taken out
Of the state, or twenty-five if taken in the state.

$500 REWARD
IS offered by the undersigned, for the apprehension and delivery of
JEFFERSON BLAGG, to the Jailor of Bradley county, Tennessee, who
fled from justice about the 1st of November last, for the murder of
James H. Robinson. We have little doubt but he is now in the State
of Arkansas, or in that portion of the territory set apart for the
Cherokees who have recently emigrated, or he still may be lurking
about Bradley county, or some of the adjoining counties. Jefferson
Blagg is about 5 feet and from 6 to 9 inches high, a common built
man, sandy colored hair, beard very red, fair skin, blue eyes, quick
spoken, fond of spirituous liquors, very quarrelsome when drinking,
and tries to imitate an old man in speech, by altering his voice,
which he can do very well, loves to play on the violin, but plays
badley, aged from 35 years to 40 years.

The 7th Infantry - The main body of this regiment arrived here
on keel boats on Wednesday last, from Fort Gibson, where it has been
stationed for nearly 20 years past. The troops were encamped on the
opposite side of the river, till Friday, when they left, being towed
down from this place by the steam boat Little Rock, bound to Tampa
Bay, Florida, to endure their share of the miseries which the army
seems doomed to encounter in hunting out a few vagabond Seminoles.
The companies embraced in this body were A,B,C,D,E,G,H,I, and K, one
company having preceded them a few weeks since.
The officers accompanying the regiment were Col. Whistler,
commanding; Major McIntosh; Captains Hawkins, Seawell, Raines,
Moore, and Holmes; Lieut. Whiting, and assistant Surgeons Mills,
Moore, and Suter.
The men were in good health, and we were pleased to see that they
were cleanly and comfortably dressed, although some of them
permitted their moustaches to grow, which had a very filthy
appearance.
