lures before the people have. In that

mornings Enterprise he publishes a card,
in which he says ,ha, the Nzws has been

immoral. With the Professor" indiyid-
ually we have nothing to do-his deport-
ment outside Of his lectures is that Of a
gentleman. But we do say, and many
who lave heard him lecture agree with
US, that his Nominations Chats the word,

TO hear him. In the frat place
he views every woman as a ere
ated thing creature, designed by
nature for no other purpose than merely
to crafty the animal passions Of man.
This is the context Of his lecture. To
carry out this design Of animal gratiica-
ton, he recommends that every mar
should marry, and marry early in life
for the earlier he marries, the greater will
be his animal qualification. The Profess
sor" also recommends that man in taking
to himself a wife, should break her in"
10 be his subseryient and his submissive
slave and servant in all things, as man
dictated or commanded. Here we beg
mos, respectfully to differ with this Pro-
fessor." Among intelligent and we'll
bred people, the wife Of q man 10 not his
servant, nor is she beneath him in any
sense whatever. A true and an affection
ate wife is his equal in all things-she is
the wife Of his bosom. his affections, and
the mother Of his children-and before
God and man she stands upon a level
with her husband. II this Professor
were preaching to a lot of Digger Indians,
he might be popular in degrading the ss-
cred name Of WOMAN. when he talks about
"breaking in" a wife to be the servant
and serf Of a man. His remarks on this
point cannot but be a gross insult to any
we'll bred gentleman who has a wife, a
daughter, n sister, or who remembers that
his MOTHER was a woman. So much for
this par, Of the Professors" lecture.
The public schools came in for a large
share Of his attention. He says that the
little girls and boys who go to school con-
tract some most abomina5le habits OF i'm
morality, which they indulge in, and their
teachers never warn them against it-nor
instruct them better ; that the physiol-
ogy which is taught in the schools
is nothing but 4 show that it amounts to
nothing; tina, instead Of particularly in
struc,ing children regarding their animal
passions. and how 10 subdue them, the
physiology as taught, as a branch OF edu-
cation amounts 10 nothing, because It en-
,irely omits TO point out the main error
that Of the sexual organs, the seat OF all
evilness. How far the Professor is cor
rec, in this, we leave 10 others.) But he
saws tina, he would rather keep q child in
entire ignorance Of everything in the world
than tina, il should contract the evil habits
which a majority Of the school children do
in California. Men, according to the
Professor" are a species Of animal, and
they are continually seeking to crafty
their animal lus,s-whe,her BY self-de-
basement or running after womankind.
He says it 10 the predominatinS idea
Of men and women; their almost con-
slant thought and desire; and he 'don's
blame them for it. There would be a
very low standard Of morals existing IN
the communities where the Professor has
lsctured, If this is correctly As the Pro-
fessor spoke about two hours and a hall,
and AZ what we have above rehearsed &C.
cupied only about half an hour, and was
really the most genteel portions, we
cannot possibly follow him into the dirty,
filthy, beastly, immoral and sensual por-
tions Of his lecture. We repeat that his
lectures are "beastly" and INIT TO be lis
tened to by any moral man. Physiology
or human anatomy is a subject that every
man and woman Of proper age should
learn and study. as a true and moral
guide TO health and happiness. But such
physiology" as this Professor Comp
ton" spews forth TO his audience, is q vio-
la,ion Of the morals Of a community-sn
insul, TO the intelligence Of its people,
it's husbands, its fathers, its wives, It's
daughters, and its schools. A TRADE Of
fthineis and prostitution from the EoreSs
Gers of sin and corruption. would be a
mos, appropriate title for this modern
Professor" to give his entertainments.
FIRE.-Sunday evening, at s o'clock, the
alarm Of FIRE was given, which proved to be
in the rear part Of the store occupied BY
whi,oskey, on North B street. At the back
Of the store is a wooden building, used as a
dwelling house. The family were all in the
setting room, when one OF the ladies OF the
house went into the kitchen, where a lamp
had been left burning, 10 get something,
when she found the lamp had bursted and
the lining OF the room was on ire. She at
once gave the alarm, when several persons
rushed in, and, in u few moments, the hre
was e~x,iuguished. The bell on Ones engine
house gave the alarm, which brought out en-
eines Nos. | and 3, but their services were
not REQUIRED, as the FIRE was extlnguished
before they could be got on the ground. Had
the wind been blowing as it did last night,
there is no telling how extensive a hre 1t
might have been. The damage, however,
will Prove light, as it only burnt the Inning
out OF the room.
HEAVY wISDs.-We do not recollect
of ever having seen as heavy winds IN
Virginia as there was last night. The sky
was perfectly clear; the wind came in sud
den pufs which made the strongest frame
buildings in town trembls like an aspen
leaf. The one in which we room being
rather tall and fimsy, reeled and rocked
until we became somewhat alarmed, lest
we should be blown away. IN streets
running north and south were almost i'm
passable, SO thick was the dust, gravel,
sticks, paper, boxes, etc. flying through
the air as though hurled BY some giant
hand. Variety is said to be the spice OF
life i, may be true, but We would prefer
q continuation Of the mild spring-like
weather which we have enjoyed for the
past month.
CHASeE.-The congregation Of the NJ.
E. Church have concluded to dispense
with gallery singing and are having a ros-
,rum erected on one side Of the pulpit for
the singers. And hereafter those who at
tend church will, il they choose, have the
right 10 Join in the songs of praise and
not stand with their heads thrown back
looking up like star.gazers, and taking no
par. in that portion Of Divine services
which every one should have a right to
do. We are glad TO see this step taken
and hope other denominations will do the
same. It may not be quite so fashionable
bu, i, is certainly more acceptable at the
throne of Grace as well as to the congre-
