ShkioIlAh rANVh. a low ueys
ago, in a city not far distant. a "soli-
tary horsemsn'-one Of G. P. R. James
veritsbles-mighs have been seen, be-
tween the hours Of 4 and s A. NJ, wend-
ing his way along an alphabetically
named thoroughfare. The man and the
horse were two separate and distinct an
imals; that is to say, the man was lead
ing the horse by a long rope. The
horse evidently knew where he was, but
didn't know where he WAS going any
more than the msu>did. The man had
a wild look. He meets two ministers Of
the gospel, and recognizing them as
such from their dress, eagerly shakes
hands with them, and requesting them
to step to one side Of the road said:

upon him and ministered to his wounds.

~cousse, the "Prelates''l could not direct
the wandering physician. Then
said the doctor, i~mploringly: " Most

The REVIVAL A large number Of the
leading citizen, Of Virginia city are join
ing a church, under Mr. Earl's persua-
sive preaching. Mr.. Earl has a direct,
almost blunt style Of speech, which is
so natural in every respect, that his sin
certify is as evident as his sense. He
goes straigh. at his object, in argumen-
tative or hortatory ~discourses. He is
copiousi in illustrations, which are home
" bu, in strict application, and largely
drawn from his own extended expert
ence and observation. He has been
preaching for Sc years. Last night the
Methodist Church, Virginia, was filled
10 listen to his N In the course
of his very interesting remarks, he men
toned the conversion of Judge South
ard, the District Judge of the Seventh
Judicial District, in California. This
conversion took place while Mr.. a
was ministering in Petaluma. As Judge
Southland is personally known to a large
number of our readers, we will state,
from Mr.. Earl's account as reported to
US, some Of the particulars of his public
profession of Christianity. Judge South
ard was a long time, for many days,
"under conviction" and finally sent
word to Mr.. Earl that on q certain even
ing he desired the floor for a few mo-
meuts. Mr.. Earl was not then %acquaint-
ed personally with the Judge. When
the appointed evening came, and after
Mr.. Earl had concluded his discourse,
the usual invitation to come forward or
rise for prayers was given. Tho Judge
did no, respond to either call; where
upou Mr.. Earl walked down the aisle to
him, and stopping beside his pew, said;
Now, get right down on your knees,
Judge, and pray for yourself And
there, said the preacher, beside his wife,
he fell down upon his knees, and prayed
and gave thanks. Judge Southland will
commence preaching regularly, so soon
a. his term on the bench expires. Mr..
Earl will remain in Virginia city and
Gold Hill only during this day and to-
morrow, as we are informed. He may
possibly be induced to stay another
week.
