following story Selling officers often

"a pretty good joke was on Sun
Gay last visited upon one of our sharp
est and most vigilant seizing officers,
and who don't live over a thousand
miles from Barton. 1t appears that
he got his eyes upon a poor way-far-

pense the tidings of salvation to the
Browningtonites The roads being
bad he mounted his horse and gave
chase to the minister who was in a
wagon and hurrying on with full
speed so as not to be too late to his
appointment. When within hailing
distance of him Mr. Officer ordered
him to "stand and deliver, which he
did. Officer asked him what he had
in his load Minister said, "nothing
but the Bible" Our Officer was not
to be fooled however, che had tray

searching the load, Which resulted il
revealing nothing but the holy scrip

the gospel was of no use to him, anc
so he decreed that the Word of Goo

1866. 1867.

In few more days the year 1866
will have ended and the year 1867
commenced. A year twelye months
is but brief period of time, yet what
n multiplicity of cere and trouble,
of Joy and sorrow,of blasted hopes and
unexpected happinesses, is wrapped
mp in it A year. short as il is, brings
about many and important changes in
every phase of human existence. Look
back, you who are reading these lines,
and see changes in your own circle OF
acqdaintances which you little dream
cd Of when you stood upon the
threshold of 1866. The year upon
which we are entering will be in many
respects like its predecessor, and in
many others vastly different But ii
is not permitted us to delye into the
future. We must wait coming events
and be prepared to be disappointed in
many of the plans on which our minds
are now so intent.
We wish every reader of the TRANs-
oRIPT Happy New Year That nc
sorrow may cross their pathway, is oui
sincere wish. May it prove to them q
year of JOY and gladness, such rs they
have never experienced before We
close by copying Bryant's Song fol

The Feeling at the South.

The following extracts from South

against the North that still exists ut
the South. The christian Companion,
published at jefferson, Texas, has the
following:

the burning Of The frigate Iron Sides;

one Of the most vituperative rebel or

against Congress in the following sig
niiicant manner;

caught on the horn of the saddle and her
foot remained fastened in the stirrup. The
horse, burnt by the fire, kept whiting
round and round In his endeavors to escape
therefrom, adding fuel to the flame. A
neighbor seeing the fire hastened to her as

There were several heavy dashes of rain
between ten and eleven O'clock on Satur-
day night, attended with strong blasts of
wind, loud thunder, and frequent and vivid
flashes Of lightning. The rain torrents
and the wind must have done considerable
damage, especially to the growing corn. :
Preceding this storm, dark and lower
ing cloud was observed, at about 8 O'clock
in the evening, lying off In an easterly d.
rection. We hear that during the evening,
there was a terrible storm of rain and hail
in the vicinity Of Newark. The rain came
down in torrents; hailstones fell Of, an un7
usual size, and the wind blew aoperiect
tempest, prostrating trees and unroofng
buildings. II this is so, a great amount Of
damage must have been cansed by the

Governor MORTON, of Indiana, finds
cause for disp!easure in the alleged fact
that Democratic politicians appeal to the
vulgar .prdadices Of the people, by claiming
that this is White mans Government"
That is as much as to say that this Is not
a ''White mans Government" that 1t Is
Just as much Black mans Government as
"a White mans Government" that the
Black man Is entitled to the same rights
and privileges that the White man is enti-
tied to; that If the White man is voter,
the Black man should also be voter; that
If the White man is an office-holder,s the
Black man has the same right to be an
ofice-holder; that the White people should
not have prejudices against the Blacks, be-
cause he, Governor MORTON, the man whose
speeches are quoted with great appreciation
by the Republican press, says it Is ''vulgGr."
Do not the Republican press, by their In
dorsement of Governor Morton's speeches
wherein he reprobates this ''vulgar preiu-
dice" put themselves on the record as OPP
posed to the idea that ''this is White
mans Governments" " '9g.

a dispute arose upon some trivial matter,
and general row ensued, during the pro-

which he died in about twenty minutes.
His remains were brought to this city for
