to wind up 10y kissing round, Nuggins to

HE Boy PREAcHER.-At the solicitation of
q young female acquaintance, whose winning
graces must always prevail over my weak
nature, l went, on Sabbath evening last, to
hear the prodigy of the western pulpit, Rev.
}. b. Fuller. This is the "boy preacher" who
has lately created so great sensation in this
State, and Of whom you have doubtless read
and heard much. He is said to be but six
teen years of age, yet his physical and men
tai powers are developed to a degree truly
wonderful He has been aptly termed "the
Spurgeon of the West" His style of oratorv
is strikingly original and Overwhelmingly
captivating His frame would, at first glance
seem to be delicate but one soon discovers
that he is full of wirey texture, and has abun-
dance of vigor and strength The features of
this boy are somewhat feminine, until you
ascend to the forehead, which is high, broad
and massive. Large liquid black eyes, de-
noting great earnestness and self reliance, is
not the least notable ornament of his physi-
| cal person. He has a most delicious voice.
being clear, full, distinct and surprisingly
musical. As n portion of the service on the
occasion on which had the pleasure of hear
ing Mr.. Fuller, he read the last and we'll
known chapter of Revelations concerning the
Water and the Tree of Life. Never shall
forget the effect which his rendering of those
startling passages had upon the audience. |
have myself read the chapter time and again,
though confess | never knew its real beau
ties, or its immense force, until they were
presented by the boy Preacher" Ills open
ing prayer was exceedingly impressive and
touching. lie pours his whole heart and soul
into his appeals to Heaven, and hangs upon
the judgment seat of mercy with zeal, an
earnestness and q devotion which can hardly
fail to secure a favorable response to his sup
plications. His text was from Deut XXI, 9.
Unlike most pulpit orators, Mr. Fuller starts
out fresh, fervent and powerful. The picture
he drew of Heaven, at the commencement of
his discourse, was the most charming thing
ever heard lie speaks very rapidly, 50 much
so. indeed, that the hearer at once becomes
fixed in his attention, careful al the while
lest, in the speakers hurry, Il word may be
lost. This is evidently the secret of the boys
great success. He takes you completely cap.
tive before you are aware oft, and hurries
you forward at perfect railroad speed, over
and through all the beauties that the heart
could wish, or the mind conceive You are
delighted, enchained electrified. Such is the
boy Preacher" He is of course an out and.
out Protestant, though do not believe he is
assyet welded to any particular church of
that body. He has excited much interest and
curiosity. and as may be imagined has many
pulpits rendered him. He is, believe, n ma
tive of Missouri, where he first Frustrated
himself at the sacred alter and enlisted as a
soldier of the cross. He is said to be but six
teen, though his appearance would indicate
eighteen or nineteen.-St L0nis cor s. r.

FATAL SHOOTING AT SIX MILE BAR.-We are
indebted to Wells, Fargo d Co. for the fol-
lowing extra from the Knights Ferry Bee
office, dated Sept oath:
A man by the name of William Harrison,
better Known hereabouts as General Harri-
son, was killed at Six Mile Bar, on Thursday
night last, Sept. 22d, by man named
John Jones' The circumstances, as we learn
them, are about as follows: Harrison entered
the cabin of Jones' situated at the upper end
of the village, about IL o'clock on the night
mentioned, and INDUCED in violent abuse OF
the latter by epiLhetical language, and ut the
same time upsetting and kicking over what
ever he could see in the way Of furniture, etc
Jones requested him to desist, but no atten.
ton was paid by Harrison to the request
until Jones, becoming incensed, shot him
with a gun, killing him on the spot.
No steps had been taken at last account to
investigate the matter legally, the general
opinion at the Bar being that Jones was JUS
tifiable in committing the deed Harrison,
we believe, bas been living for some years in
the neghborhood of the place where he met
his DEATH and was generally looked upon as
q dangerous man, especially when i'll liquor.
He was at this place on the day of, and the
day before, his untimely demise We learn
that he was very rough in his manner while
excited by liquor and that he struck Paul *.
IIubbs with stick, at Sonora, a few days
ago, for indulgng in some remarks that Har-
rison did not like He was man apparent
