REV. DR.. CURRY.-Our community have
been highly entertained, and we trust
greatly p~roiited, by the recent visit of Rev.
Dr.. j. l.. NJ. Curry. lie preached at the
Baptist church Sunday morning. At night
the Presbyterian church was crowded to
hear him address the Young Mems Chris
tan Association Of the college.
Monday night he lectured for the benefit
Of the Baptist Church Building Fund.-
We we're glad TO see q full house Of our
very best people, who all seemed charmed
with the lecture, The spirit Of a gentle
man and the spirit of a Christian ncces-
sary TO qualify our young men to meet the
duty Of the hour"
The lecture was we'll nigh iuimitablc.
His picture Of the true gentleman and Chris
uan AS distinguished from the pretender
was perfect. The standard held up 10 our
young men was high. His toni as to our
future, hopeful and cheering; and his APP
peal to our young men to 90 to work and
prepare to meet the duty Of the hour ,
was thrillingly eloquent.
Ii is certain that the bar, the council.
chamber, and the forum, have sustained
heavy loss in the retirement Of Dr.. Curry
but the pulpit and the professors char
have gained a bright oruament.-Ltrlngt0t

ing gentlemen, headed by Captain Ashland,
passed through this city with their dogs,

game among the mountains of the Blue

perience, and 20 well pleased with the coun-

been purchased near Gainesville, on the

A singular and, if report speaks true,
very valuable discovery has just been made
ut Cincinnati. 1t seems that q man upset
his kerosene lantern into his meal-bin, and
he noticed afterwards that his hogs ate the
damaged fodder with avidity. This gave
him an idea, and by experiment he found
that five weeks feeding with the kerosene
mixture made one of his hogs so fat that it
could scarcely stand. The animal was then
tried into lard with the following result :
When cool the lard did not CONCEAL, but the
addition of o certain amount Of potash re-
solved the contents Of the kettle into three
distinct substances the first q light, rams
parent oil, better than kerosene or sperm
oil the second a ielly-like substance,
which turned to soap and last, a small
residuum of insoluble muscle. "John
Smith :" is the name of the reported expe-
rimenter.

REV. E. 2. PHELPS rs. DIsrATCH.-We
read a few days since in the Richmond Dis
patch a letter from the Rev. E. P. Phelps.
The length OF the letter and the comments
by the editor require more space than we
can spare. The stand taken by this Rev,
scalawag whilst presiding elder of this dis
trict, in the year of 1861, makes us refer
to him, and ask the question, "Did the
Rev. E. p. ever lie 7"
The Rev. S~calawag, in his letter, tries to
convince the public that he never did lie g;
that he was always true to the party he now
supports that he is, and ALWAYS was, AZ
firm as the Rock of Ages" We have no
idea of entering into Il discussion, but
merely to refer 10 the conduct Of this man
while in our midst, and to the manner in
which he has treated this people since, and
see il q lie ever stained his pure lips.
