THE SMALLEST KIND or MEANNEss

Mr. Cough tells some pretty hard stories of
what drinking rum will make man do in the
last extremity; but we doubt whether so much
concentrated meanness, yilany, and rascality, was
ever found in so small a compass as was eviden-
ced in the chap, who laid himself liable to the
Penientiary, by passing pewter half dollar at
the door Of the Temperance meeting on Thursday

We learn by the Beacon has presented, or
through her influence, with distinguished persons
abroad, caused to be presented to the Catholic
Church in Norfolk, two splendid paintings, for
the adornment of that temple of worship-one
" Guido's Crucifxion," the other " Murillo's
Assumption" These pictures, says the Beacon,
will be exhibited to any DESTROYS of seeing them
on any day on which the Church may be open,
and we know that it will be source of sincere
qualification to the highly respected and esteemed
Pastor of the Church, if the public generally
would avail itself of an early opportunity to ex-
anime them.

A fire broke out in Norfolk last evening abou
eight o'clock, on Bermuda street, near Church,
which consumed two or three dwellings,, and two
or more work shops, and outhouses. The bull
dings were of wood, and we understand of little
value. Happily, the air WAS still, and much rain
having fallen, previously, tho efforts of our en-
ergctIc firemen must have proved unavailing in
preventing an extensive conlagration. We say

on my oath do most sOlemnly declare that my
husband, the said Albert J. Tirrell, has never at
any time or place made to me or in nv hearing
or my knowledge any the slightest confession or
admission of the truth Of the matters CHARGED
against him by the government in the indict-
menis for murder and arson; that he never did
tell me or in the Temolest manner intimate ID me
that he had murdered Mrs. Bickford, or that she
had come TO her death by his hand, or any other
thing from which | could by possibility have
drawn such an inference; that the only time I
ever saw ConsIabes Whipple and Andrews, or
had any conversation with them to my knowledge,
was on The evening Of Tuesday, October 2Slh,
1915, at the house Of Mrs. Nabby Tirell, in the
presence of her and her daughter, Mrs. BayIey,
and that neither on that occasion nor on any
other occasion did ! ever state or intimate tina I
Albert had ever made any such admission or
confession as aforesaid or any kind, or any 9th
er thing from which those officers could have
drawn such inference.

HIS EXCELLENCY JOHN TYLER

We feel gratified, whenever we have an op
Por'unlty of testifyng our high respect for the
distinguished statesman aud patriot, whose name
heads this article. In comparison with the great
benefits which Mr.. Tyler has conferred upon his
country, how plainly does the insgnifcancc of
many OF the brawlers in Congress. and out, show
itself in their struggle for distinction, which they
mako more conspicuous by appropriating his labors
TO their credit, and affecting to look down upon
the mighty man who gave life and being to the
party to which they are attached, as the SUMS
rivifying beams pour life and fecundity on the
earth.
As sure as there is truth in heaven, or Justice
IN man, the time will shortly arrive, when the
great masses Of the people will throw off the vile
shackles of party and rise in their might, to do
"JUsTIcE TO JOHN TYLER" Party men would
claim the honor of annexng Texas to this Union
but 1t was JOHN TYLER's ACT! and the peo-
pie of this country know 1.-THE people and au
thorltles of Texas avow it? 1t was his, and his
alone-and to him be all the honor and the glory
We well recolloct when miserable wretch, al.
though United States Senator, and a professed
member OF the Democratic party, for the purpose
oil inJnrlng JOHN TYLER, violated his oath, and
broke the seal OF secresy Imposed by the Senate,
and eloniously made public the Texas affair we
spoke of that act with Mr.. Tyler at the time.
and we well recollect his remark: 81 am Glad,
said he, " that it has been made public, for de-
sire no secrets to be kept from the American peo-
pie; the act will defeat itself, and precpiatc an
nexatlon-the people are honest and WISE and
VIII act right. with the facts before them" The
result has fulfilled his prediction, and confirmed
his faith. We, too, believe the day will come,
when all the facts will be made known to the A.
merican people, and then they will sustain and
uphold the man, who, after Jackson, has done
more for his country, by his inflexible adherence
to principle, than any other man now in the ma
tion. We take pleasure in laying the following
resolutions, which were offered by Senator Robin
son, TO the consideration of The Texas Senate, and
adopted unanimously by that body, before our
readers.
RESOLVED, That the thanks and highest conf
dence of the Senate, be rendered TO the great
friend OF civil liberty, the ex President, JOHN

he pursued. while dischargng the high and i'm

States
ResotUed, further, That the successful termi-

religious liberty wherever they may be.
Resolved, further, That the Secretary of the

A CURIOSITY IN THE MOUNTAINS.


The editor of the Fincastle Democrat in a re-
cent hunt for subcribers, found an interesting Gu
roslIy, which he thus describes, and which
would have gone far to compensate him for his
journey, even had he picked up no subscribers:
MEADOW CREEK.-Nearly on the top of the
Allegheny, and directly opposite the head Of
Sinking Creek, rises this pretty little stream
1t is supplied by many bold springs, and collects
water so fast that at distance of four miles
from Its source it affords an ample supply for a
Merchant Mill. The valley in which il runs
lS wide and its banks are lined with beautiful
meadows, from which it has doubtless derived lis
name.
After running about FIVE miles, this little
stream passes under rocky ridge of more than
hundred feet elevation. # flows smoothly on
to the foot of very high cliff Of limestone rock
under which it descends with great rapidiiy and
considerable noise. very strong current of air
comes out where the water descenJs, which in
croases very much in warm weather
In times of high water, the entrance TO this
subterranoar passage will not admit all the water
and occasions an overflow of the lands above.
But to remedy this, Mr.. Looney, whose lands lie
on this portion Of the stream, has taken much
pains TO enlarge the passage by removing the
loose stone and timber that surround il. After
Iraversing It's dark and gloomy channel for about
a mile the stream energies, and flowing rapidly
down the mountain, it emptes into Craio's creek
not far above Newcastle.
This is very interesting curiosity. and though
