ted in Kinds County, Mississippi, on Bakers
Creek, being desirous of turning his attention to
other pursuits offers forsae that desirable proper
tv. The Tract of Land contains eight hundred
acres-the quality of tho soil is very superior
the whole tract having been entered at an early
period. almost the entire tract of land is sus-
ceptible of cultivation without. any inconveni-
ence. Only about fifty acres is thin soil, and
that is the mast valuable part of the tract-it be-
ing delightfully."- situated for a building spot and
settlement. Bakers Creek runs through this
tract, and consequently large portion of it IS
rich Cane Bottom land, and the remainder Cane
Hill land. From the Hills flow forth many fine
springs. The RailRoad from Yicksburg tot Linton
runs within half mile cfthis place. 1t IS dis
tarrt from the former town 25, from the latter 10
miles, and is in the the immediate vicinity of
Amsterdam. The settlement in which this land
is situated is considered remarkably healthy.
Within one mile ofthe place is a Baptist church,
within miles are two Methodist churches and
within miles arc two Presbyterian churches. At
all of these churches tho Black population Is "a
vored with the preaching of the gospel. Three
Temperance Societies exist in the vicinity.
There is no greg shop within several miles, none
sufficiently convenientto to contaminate the NOR
als,ard iniure the negroes. The improvements OF
the place consist of'tuo hundred and yffy acres
open Land, a Gin, &c.

Sacrilege.--It has never fallen toour lot
to record more flasitious act than was
perpetrated on Sunday night last In the
new Presbyterian Church. About half
past ten O'Clock on that evening, the cry
of fire was heard and it was found that
the alarm proceeded from the Church; up.
on entering which, the stairway leading
from the first floor was found to be on
fire and large mass of shaviugs in a
state ofisnilion. 1t was evident that it
was the work Of au ncendiary, as no fire
was used in the building at any time, aud
especially on Sunday, while the spot
selected for the perpetrution of the deed
was the only one from which flame
might ascend to the second story. The
injury sustained by the church does not
extend farther than the destruction Of the
part of the plank partition of the stairway,
but slight inspection will serve to show
the deliberate design of the incendiary,
and the almost miraculous preservation
ofthe building.
GoM.-The Washington Globe, of the
10th instant says, that during the previous
week alone $2S6,625 ofgo Id was coined
ut the mint--an amount equal to the
whole average annual coinage before
1884.
The anniversary of the Battle OF Bum
ker Hill was celebrated with more than
usual pomp, at Charleston Mass on the
18th iast. Alex. II. Everett delivered an
oration.
HIRAM POWERS, THE ARTIST.
We had the pleasure Of visiting this gift.
cd genius in his room day or two ago, and
had thus an opportunity of seeing the busts
he has taken of several Of the distinguished
men the day. Among the rest was one
ofCol. Preston, which struck us with pecu-
liar force. The likeness is true to the life.
Mr.. Powers is Il young man Of very
great promise, and we have seen great ill.,
Justice done him in District paper. The
day will come when his genius will add a
lustre to the American arts, and confer an
honor upon his country.--U. S. Gazette.
