Eel0eiIY of LIGHT.

There arc two theories respecting the motion of
light; one is the emission theory of Newton, the
other the nndatatory theory by Euler and others
Dr. Dare, Of Philadelphia, believes light to
be g a subtle matter conveyed by vibrations. -
BY the emission theory, it was asserted that light
passing from a rarer to denser medium was in
creased in velocity. NJ. Foucault, of Paris, at
the request of NJ Arago has recently made
number OF experiments to test the two theories,
and it is said, 'fhas fully established the theory
OF undulation, . viz: that light travels with less
velocity through dense than more rare medi-
um-swifter through the air than water. The
question then arises, are not these theories
mere names for the mode of action of certain
subtle matter which is termed light 20 If light
is not matter why does it not travel with the
same velocity through every medium :? The
swer may be, Light is not matter, it is merely
the name for certain action of matter as sound
Is also for certain action of NATTER Light the
product of certain action of certain bodies
der certain conditions, this is all that can be said
about it; its mode of action is quite different
thing. The principle of right and goodness is
compared to light and so is truth Tie great In
hnte-He who is called the moral light of the
World, could alone create light. A universe OF
darkness. says Hunt, would be universal

A meeting of the Bar of Chickasaw county was
held in Houston, April, 10th, to pass resolutions
respecting the death of our worthy and much es-
teemed brother, VIM K. HARRISON On motion
t. 2. Aycock, was called to the chair and w.
NJ. Aycock. requested to act as Secretary. The
meeting being duly organized, Col. Orr made a
short butg very effective speech regarding the ma
ny noble traits of character possessed by our much
lamented brother. At at the close Of Col Orr's
speech the fearful eyes of many present showed
that the disconsolate parents were not alone in
their sorrow, and that they were not the only ones
that dropped the sacred tears of grief at his de-
parture. In his death earth has lost star, but
heaven has gained jewel. Messrs. Evans, Green
wood and Orr, were appointed as committee to
draft resolutions. Wilereupon the following reso-
lutlons were read and unanimously adopted
Preamble.
WHEREAS We have heard with unfeigned sor-
row of the untimey death of our late associate and
esteemed personal friend, WM K HARRISON. and
being DESTROYS of giving some public expression
to the sentiments of affectionate regard which we
cherished towards him, we have met on this oc-
cason. Mr.. Harrison located in our village about
four years ago and commenced the practice of his
profession and became an ornament to it. With
that warm zeal so necessary in the successful prac
titioner he united the strctest integrity of pur-
pose and hatred to unfair quibbhng. He won for
himself the character of bold fearless but honest
advocate. By his ability, dignity and courtesy in
the practice of his profession he always command
ed our highest esteem.
BUTT is not the professional man we desire alone
to speak of-he had other higher claims upon our
love and regard. He was faithful friend and
companion. We loved him because he was every
way deserving of our SINGER st affection. We low
ed him because Ito know him was to love him. !"
With that affabty which is always the offspring
OF kind heart he combined in an eminent degree
the Reconsideration in his friendship His friend
ship once obtained was not the friendship of an
hour. In short in him was combined all the ele-
ments of the devoted friend and high minded hon
orable gentleman Therefore
Resoleed, That we deeply deplore the untimely
death of our esteemed and professional brother
