LANGWORTHY and CLARK are being well attended by the people of our village. We understand that on Sunday afternoon Dr. LANGWORTH intends to give a free lecture on the 'Physiologicale Effects of Intemperance." The persistent and eminently successful attempts of Prof. WHELPTON to raise to a higher standard the musical attainments of Waverly young people, should not go unnoticed. He has the largest class ever held in this village, and carries it on in a way which can only be beneficial to this scholars. He is doing good work here. A little "affaire d'honneur," terminating in exercises of a pugilistic, character, occurred here Sunday afternoon. The combatants after an hour's labor at the "art defacive," leaned up against the fence, by mutual consent to regain their breath and rest up a little. getting ready to go at it again, the bystanders interfered. No marks, excepting numerous black eyes were visible on the "bloods." 'Rah! Waverly ain't dead yet!! She still survives, you bet!!! We're goin' to have it now.
