The way Hollanders uso Looking

A correspondent ofthe 81 Louis Democrat,
writing from Holland, thus describes use
Of looking glasses very prevalent there, which
very faslidious people might think il worth

seen some notice Of this queer custom before,
but never 40 minute an account OF

mirrors Of about foot square, each in yer-

good lady Of the house, hearing the door-bcll

TO The Rev. Dr., of Georgia, has a
rather slow delivery, which was the occasion
Of sR auausing Gcnne in The chapel Of the Lu.

At his last appointment he was preaching
upon the absolute necessity Of trusting in
Christ. lie WAS, illustr ,ting his subject by
the case OF a man condemned to be hung,
and repreiycd under the gall0ws. lie wen,
on to describe the gathering Of the crowd
the bringing out OF the prisoner, his remarks
under the gallows, the appearance Of the ex-
ccuioncr, the adjustment Of the halter, the
preparation to let fall the platform, and just
then the appearance in the distance Of the
dust-oovered courier, the jadcd horse, the
waving handkerchief, the commotion in the
crowd. At this thrilling point, when every
one was listening in lbreathless silence FOR
The 9enoWement, the doctor became little
prolix. One Of the lunatics could hold in no
longer he hrose in the congregation. and
shouted, "Hurry, doctor, for mercys sake
hurry! They'll hang the man before you get

81 A FIRST Ram PCrP.-A. the Supreme

The Rutland Herald gives the following hi

rarely equallcd: Z
We know that man-Darwn Mott. He
came to ST. Albnns with long face, silver
headed cane, and "Rev." prefixed TO his
name. He preached one faith few months
and suddenly changed it. He preached and
went hunting the same day. He preached
on temperance land the people were aston

young ladies and played the ndmirer. lie

on the servant girl-got the Office of deputy
inspeoior-got drunk upon smuggled liquor
took one shirt--anothcrs mans wife and a
bundle Of manuscript sermons, and ran away
from his own wife, his paper and crowd of
creditors."

densed writing. We wonder how the Rercr-
