Hampshire County, preached pointed sermon
against the use Of ardent spirits, especially
designed for a member of his congregation
who was in the habit Of hiring his help at
low price, in consideration Of the frequent
greats" he furnished his workp en-. "Old
Nat" felt himself particularly "hip by the
discourse, and the coat fitted him exactly,
and ho therefore absented himself from church
for some two years. A few weeks ago he was
seized with his last illness, and expressed a
desire to see Rev. Mr.. B. before he died. His
son vent post-hasto for tho minister, who, of
course, was quite ready to respond to the
dying mans summons. On entering the room

that you might have chance to apologize to
me for that liquor sermon you preached to me

A MAN WHIPPED TO DEATH IN MARYLAYD.
A horrible murder was committed recently at
Pine Bluff, by q man named Bragg, citizen
of Baltimore, and carpenter by trade. Bragg
had employed man by the name of Watson,
plasterer by trade, to do a job of work.
Watson left without informing Bragg of his
intention, and indulged freely in drink
Bragg, ipcensed at Watson's absence from
work, followed on, prepared himself with
switches, seized upon Watson and whipped
him TO death. He then attempted his escape,
but was arrested and lodged in Jail. Great
excitement prevails and many are in favor Of
lynching Bragg:

Pen-and-Ink Sketch of Distinguished
Lawyer.

AdWyCIs
The personal appearance of one of the most
powerful, and, perhaps, ablest lawyer in New
York, is thus given in an Eastern exchange:
Seeming taller than he really is, from the
sparseness and meagerness Of his wiry figure,
this gentleman dressed in tightly buttoned
from square, granite forehead; with large,
cleaning, dark eyes, apparently observing
every thing, while really absorbed in other
thoughts; fresh and pink complexion, curl
ously contrasting with a bristlipg grey beard,
keen and sarcastic mouth and chin, and the
whole topped off with vigorous growth Of
hair, still standing out manfully for it's original
color, but fast being changed under silver frost
such is the external man Of Mr.. Charles
0'Conner, beyond all question the first lawyer,
in the old English sense, of the bar Of the
State Of New York, and in the opinion Of
many, the first lawyer Of the Union. a
Mr.. O'Connor's manner and appearance are
exceedingly peculiar, as he darts past you
with all the ieverish eagerness of youth, and
the elasticity, unsubdued by time, of On ener-
getic man just entering the race Of life
Though really of an ardent nature to his
friends, his presence is perfectly freezing
to those not acquainted with him, and
when the wind blows at all keenly, he might
be regarded as six feet from the North Pole
buttoned up in professional broadcloth. There
is something, too, about his style of dress
which suggests that his clothes were huddled
on, very early in the morning, on a sudden
alarm Of fire, and that he has not found time
to arrange them since, while the protuberant
stuffing of his outside pockets with law papers,
and the close buttoning of his outside coat,
present the idea that in effort to accomplish
an economical escape from the fiery element
he had stuffed all the family silver into the
various hiding places OF his garments.
