CINCINNATI. Anril %

CINCINNATI, April 70.
Our city has, for the last week, been much
interested in the public discussion of the
comparative merits of Christianity and .4the-
ism, between their respective champions,
Campbell and Owen. If the Christian re-
ligion stood in need of vindication, it GER
tainly had noble advocate in Mr.. Camp
bell, who, throughout the discussion, evinc-
ed an acquaintance with his subject, and
powers of logical reasoning, not without
beauties of eloquence. that cannot fail to
hand his name to the latest posterity, with
honor; while poor Mr.. Owen, seemed, in
comparison, man OF straw, Uor ct preterea
nihiL. The whole series of his defamation.
for argument it was not, reminded me of
the fable Of the mountain in labor. In fine,
never, | think, had religion, especially the
Christian, more noble triumph.
The debates closed on Monday evening
last. Before the very large assembly were
dismissed, Mr.. Campbell respectfully limited
binary patience and forbearance had been
manifested, while the most barefaced cal
umnies and insults had been uttered by his
opponent, not only against their good sense
and best feelings, but against their religion,
dearer to many than life itself; it would
therefore be of consequence now, to ascer-
tain, to what influence such forbearance
was attributable; he then respectfully de-
sired that all whose hopes or desires were
toward Christianity, should show themselves
by rising. Instantly the whole assemblage,
say 600, rose, save about half dozen indi-
vlduals. who, when the advocates of Inf
deity were called upon, rose with Mr..
Owen.
Mr. Joseph Brown, mason in Boston, has
invented cement for the outside of buildings,
which is very good imitation of marble. II is
said to resist moisture, smoke, and severity of
climate. in the interior of houses it precludes
the necessity of oil painting, as II bears wash
ing as we'll as natural marble. We have seen
several houses covered with this cement and
we think stranger might easily be deceived by
the beauty of its oppearance.-.MasS Journal.

relate the occasion and circumstance on
which it occurred.
The town of Paxton, in the County of
Worcester, according to the goodly custom
OF our ancestors, some years since settled
Minister; but inasmuch as the town was so
small, and withal so poor, that the inhab
itants thought they could not afford to pay
their spiritual teacher sufficient salary,
they agreed that he should have the liberty
of being absent "a Few" Sabbaths in each
year, to make up the deficiency in his COM
pensaton, by preaching to some Uther soci-
clety. Under this contract the Minister
was ordained, and for time all things went
on smoothly. 1t was not, however, many
weeks before the people found that their
Pastor understood the condition in their
mutual contract in too extensive sense, to
be for their benefit or pleasure; and that
in his estimation few meant two-thirds or
three-quarters of the whole time, and he
was absent accordingly. A town meeting
was consequently called to decide on the
true Specification Of the phrase ga Few"
After ample argument and mature delibera
ton 1t was UNANIMOUSLY decided by the
town that " thereafter the number FIVE
should be considered and understood to
mean ga few" and that if their Minister
should be absent more than FIVE Sabbaths
in any one year, the overplus should be de-
Quoted from his salary" We nope those
who have heretofore been in the habit of
using this expression will hereafter keep in
mind the above decision, and act accord
ingly so that when they promise to meet a
friend in few minutes, or to pay a credi-
tor in few days, they may, according to
precedent, consider few in no case to
mean more than FIVE.

EXTRAORDINARY PRESENTATION. In a
little work called Voyages aux Alpes,"
which has recently been published in Paris,
curious account is given of an avalanche
which occurred in Switzerland many years
ago. During the absence of Swiss
farmer, his cottage and stable were, by the
fall of the avalanche, enclosed in snow; his
wife and daughter were at the time in the
stable. Six weeks afterwards, the snow
having melted a little, an opening was eff
fected, and the two cemaleswere found alive,
having been supported by the milk of the
cow, during that long period. The space
left free from the snow, was sufficient for
air. and fortunately there was a good win
ter's stock of provisions for the COW near
the stable.

MYSTERIOUS SToRY. A most singular &C.
currence took place about a fortnight ago at
lSarrguemines. Il rich and piCus lady, be-
ing at church, joined in the service with re-
inarkable fervor. Upon rising from her
knees, she found behind her letter which
announced that st. PeteT would sup with
her that evening, and bring news from her
husband, who had died short time before.
A sumptuous repast was prepared, and in
the evening knock was heard at the door.
A robust man, having long beard, and a
large iron key hanging by his side, entered
apostle related to her many glorious things
respecting the other world, and dwelt par
ticnlarly upon the felicity enjoyed by her
late husband. At length they sat down to-
table, and the servant girl was ordered to
carry the dishes to the door and leave them
there, from whence the lady fetched them
and placed them on the table. The servant
on her side, had an apostle in the person of
a stout gendarme, who came to pay her an
evening visit. Surprised at seeing so much
hustle in the kitchen, he inquired the cause,
"We have stranger come to SUPPER" said
the servant, "yho has very singular ap-
pearance. He has long beard, but only
caught a glimpse of him, for my mistress
forbids me to enter the room.'' The gend-
arme followed the servant to the door, which
he rushed open and went in. "Who are
you, Sir" said he abruptly, and where is
your passport ?" "The Saints" replied the
stranger. have no need of a passport; l
am st. Peter, and here is my key" The
gendarme withdrew, but went out and COM
municated the adventure to his brgadier.
The latter took several men with himselfn
the lady's house. Shortly after, there was
another knock at the door. 1t was opened,
and four others apostles entered. The
gendarmes Immediately seized them, as
well as st. Peter, and upon searching them,
found they had concealed under their
clothes, daggers, knives, pistols, keys, and
whistles. All the Saints were handcuffed
and taken to Metz, where they were COM
mitted to prison to take their trial.

PHYSICIAN, HEAL rHYsELF! A correspond
ent Of the Springfield Journal tells story of
two reverend gentlemen in an adjoining state,
one of whom had recently joined Temperance
Society and was persuading his friend to do
the same. The latter objected to an article
that the members should drink no ardent shirt
unless BY the GdUice Of q physictan, alleging
that It was not always convenient to consult
one. The advocate Of temperance observed
that ne drank milk 'punch four or FIVE evenings

CHINESE BARRIERS AND TArLoRs. Pekin,
the metropolis of China, is erected on a
very fertile plain, not far south of the Great
Wall, in the most salubrious part of China,
Astounding with corn, fruits, herbs, and
roots, and all the necessaries and comforts
of life, except that of tea, none of which
grows in that province. The streets are
always crowded, though Chinese women
never appear in them, except in covered
seats and chairs. The reason of this crowd
ing is, that all provisions are brought hith-
er by land carriage, no river or canal COM
ing within three miles of the city, which
occasions the streets to be filled with carts,
camels, horses, and other beasts of burden,
with their drivers, insomuch that it is diff
cult to pass through the gates in a morning
or evening. The arti6cers also contribute
to increase the ciowd, as they work in the
houses of those who employ them, and are
perpetually looking out for business. Bar
bers so about ringing bells to get custom
ers. They carry with them stool, basin,
towel, pot and fire, and when any person
calls to them, they run up to him, and plac-
ing their stool in a convenient place in the
street, they shave the head, clean the ears,
put the eyebrows in order, and brush the
shoulders, all for the value of little more
than half penny. They the ring their
bell again, and are ready for another Gus
toner. The tailors who ply in the streets
GO home to the houses of their customers,
and do their work there. They do not use
thimbles, as ours do, but tie a rag upon
their fingers nor do they sit down to
their work, but sew standing, except when
they grow tired. The work is upon the
table, and they stand close to it. The mot
| ly crowd busted in their several occupations,
cause a vast confusion while jugglers,
ballad-singers, and rostrum mongers, are
encircled by their respective mobs.

ger was once laid by gentleman in India that
he would procure bheel Gan Indian chief who
would steal the sheet from under a person with.

immediately scratched his face and rolled over
