Madison road, few days ago. but found
himself on tho Lawrenceburgh cars. It

FINE SPEcuLArIoS.-M. G. Bright has
sold his interest In the chance 10 swindle
by the new institution called the New
State Bank, to the directors Of the old
State Bank at Madison, for $4,000. We
believe that all tho branches have been
sold TO tho old Bank at from $4,000 10
Sa5, 900 per branch. Bright & Co. guar
antoc TO tho purchasers whatever legisla-
ton may be necessary to make the thing
so.
- Col. Benton, during his visit 10 tho
city Of Lawrence, visited tho "Oliver
School, House." and addressed the pupils.
He afterwards visited tho Atlantic Cotton
Mills with Gen. Oliver, tho Agent and
infinitely examined every stage Of tho
process Of manufacturing, asking great
variety Of questions Of the operatives,
with whose appearance no was both sur
prisod and pleased. lIo had never be-
fore visited either a public school or a
mandatory in New England.
- John p. Williams Of Waterloo
Fayette county, has moved TO Brookville
to educate his children. That is a sensi-
bio move. There are hundreds Of fami-
lies who could do better 10 buy or rent
property here and move hero while their
children are being educated, than to pay
tho enormous price for boarding elsewhere,
and lose sight Of their children at the inn
portant age Of College life. Rents are
cheap, and there is not healthier town in
the west. 1t Is both cheaper and better
TO make such moves than to send chill
dren abroad, from I'm der the eye Of the
parent.
or What pity that tho slaves, who
are so well cared for, and who enjoy so
many privileges as they do in the South.
crn States, should be made miserable by
the interference of those who are no bet
ter than thieves and murdercrs at heart -
Nashville Christian advocate.
1t is pity, Brother McFerin. It is a
pity, too, that the slaves who are so we
cared for don't knowit. Can't you send
them the Advocate, and prove to them
that slavery Is Christian institution?---
Can't you prove to them that those who
stole them from their own free country,
and enslaved them, are model Christians,
and those who would free them are thieves?
Try 1t. You can do wonders. Try this.
