4 CEBRroAL-We had related to
Us yesterday a rather humorous case
Of mistaken identity of valises. in
which two weIl-known ministers fig
ured. The two met at the depot at
Princeton, on Monday evening, the
one to come to this city and the other
starting to Philadelphia. Their
valises were precisely alike and we're
set down together. The one that
should have come to this city, con
tanned, among other articles, the
manuscript of a discourse, prepared
with much labor and care, to be de-
livered before one of the Literary So
oieties of the Indiana Asbury Univer
sity, and the other containing several
carefully prepared sermons, intended
for the edifcation Of the perishing
sinners OF PhiladeIphia.
The freight and accommodation
train from the north was behind time.
The bob-tail was, as usual, on time.
The two met at Princeton. On ar
rival Ofsthe trains the ministers each
picked up a v~alise, and one entered
each train, and were speedily borne
in opposite directions. The gentle
nan en- route to Evansville having oc-
casion to open his Valise by the way,
was flleG with CONSERVATION by dis
covering that he had picked up the
wrong ~valise, and found it full of SER
mons breathing strong eovenanter's
doctrines, and the fearful truth then
flashed upon his mind that his address
prepared for the delectation of the
students of Asbury University was on
its way by lightning express train to
the City of Brotherly Love.
Here was a pretty kettle of fish"
and, for once, the preacher was NON
pIussed. In the meantime the Phila-
delphia bound preacher had reached
Yincennes, aud pointed out his bag
gage to the baggage man with great
confidence, aud had it transported to
the Ohio & Mississippi Railroad, by
which he left for the East. When or
whsre he discovered his mistake has
not been ascertained. The v%alise.
brought 70 this city by mistake was
forwarded. on Tuesday afternoon, by
express to Philadelphia, and it is
hoped will reach its rightful owner
before the sermons ere out OF date,
but our esteemed ~clerlaf friend in
this city has sad misgivihgs lest the

The GRAPE.-From some OF our
oldest and most experienced grape
and vine growers, we learn that the
grape crop in this vicinity lo9ks-ex-
ceedingly favorable. Mach, however,
depends on the season IF thaa Is
favorable, the grape crop will be the
largest grown for several years past
but a single day or two of ~unfavora-
able weather may greatly injure or
totally destroy the entire crop.

country adj1eent to the city, have any
