CONFEDERATE LOAN IN ENGLAND. The
London Herald Of Oct. l. in speaking
of the Confederate Loan in England, re.
marks thus:
The Confederate loan was, on Sept.
SOth, quoted rather firmer in the ad.
vanced hours Of business, viz: est to 26l
discount; very late it was even better
than this price. A variety of small in.
vestments are being made, which are
giving strength to the quotation, and
now the loan may be considered as fully
paid up. it is probable a further advance
may take place.

The "young Miss of a." who wrote us pretty
letter, should not fail of preparing compositions
for the weekly school exercises and endeavor
always to make them as good as she can. 1t is
not length or pretty writing that makes them
good A correct idea, though simple, clearly
explained, with words correctly spelled, if it is
but three sentences long, is infinitely better than
a hundred lines of confused ideas and misspelled
words. Write for improvement and to do so
you must think.

PIPER AGAIN.

The Louisville journal gives an account of
the arrest of two men in that city, giving their
names as Clark, alias Piper, and j. c. Carter,
as suspected felons. The nature Of the testi-
mony against them is not given, but Piper is
said to be known as an old offender against the
laws, and is undoubtedly the accomplished
swindler confidence man, and forger Of that
name with those extensive operations and cap
ture here our readers are familiar.
The two came to Louisville from Patriot Ind .
where their associations had been so bad as to
excite the suspicious of citizens. Piper had up
on his person strong letters from one Jones, cash
ier of bank at Toledo, Ohio in which he was
represented to be heavy cotton broker. There
was also found upon his person letter from a
firm TO parties at Paducah, KY, as large deal
er in tobacco. Piper also carried in his pocket
an extract from one of the Philadelphia papers,
containing particulars of forgeries committed on
the Jersey Shore Bank, the Bank of Rock Ha-
ven, and two banking g-houses at Belfont, Pa,
together with the cards of three other banking
houses. These two adventurers had Just ar
rived, and were fully prepared to operate upon
the citizens of Louisville in the confidence way.

Reyival ar the mr.. =. Church.

Much interest is being awakened in religious
matters at the Methodist Episcopal Church in
this place, under the enlightened preaching of
Rev. E. B. Morrison. A series of meetings have
been held there during the last fortnight, and
many have earnestly sought God to pardon their
sins, and number have united with the Church.
We trust that this is but the beginning of the
good work, and that the spirit of God which has
evidently been manifested in that Church may
be impaired to every other Church ard house,
hold in this town, until there shall not one be
left within its limits who delights in the ways
of the wicked Is it not high time that we all
institute self examination into our own hearts,
and see where we are drifting to? Let us ask
ourselves the question: "Were we now summon
ed TO appear before God, as numbers of our cit
izens have within the past few weeks, would we
be prepared for the grim messenger" Yet this
summons is sure to come TO us all, at some time
and at the longest it will be but soon. Then
in all seriousness does it not behoove us to act
in this matter with as much discretion and COM
mon sense at least as we do in the affairs of our
daily business2

An Evll-I, should be Renedied.

There are rights which every person in a COM
munity has an undoubted privilege TO exercise
These rights are secured to him by the Statute
Law of the State Any person who may do an
act trespassing on this right is guilty of a mis-
demeanor which is punishable by fine, imprison-
ment, or both, according to the evidence.
One of these rights is, the privilege of posting
notices written or printed handbills, in public
and frequented places in the town or country,
and any one cutting, tearing defacing, pulling
down, or otherwise destroying such notice or
handbill is liable to arrest fine and imprfson-
ment.
We have called attention TO this subject be-
fore; the evil still exists, and the rights and in
terests of the people demand protection. 1t is a
rare thing that notice of any kind can remain
twenty-four hours without being defaced or torn
down. One case to the point
Last Saturday afternoon and evening, so full
sheet handbills of Whitney's Piano and Music
Store of Toledo, were securely pasted up about
our town, and in less than three hours we saw
several that were destroyed, and before evening
of Monday, We suppose twoathirds of them were
torn down. These bills cost him large sum o,
money, and one dollar additional to have then
posted up. Whitney is defrauded of his bills
and the profit he expected to come from posting
them up. Twenty five additional bills were put
up Wednesday evening. They, probably, will
all be destroyed before tomorrow night
win not the Town Council try and correc
this petty destruction Of property1
