OF Il. Mr.. Tarver has been hitherto slngu-
larly unfortunate. In Cllaton, a few years
ago, be lost his all by fire.-He lately went TO
Knoxville, one of our frontier towns, and set
up a tavern. Those who have Slopi at his
house, represent him to be most accommo-
dating man in his business, so far as his means
extend.
Now that he is raised so far above what he
had ny reason to expect, there Is 40 altera-
ton perceived in his conduct. He pursues his
business with the same industry-evinces the
same spirit Of accommodation-and seems i
20 realize the change IN his condition. In
short he bears las good fortune as as a man
and as a christian. Journal.
