Rather Wearied.


Rev, Mr.. MizELL. agent for the C0nfed-
crate Orphans Home, situated at ClArks-
Vile, Tenn, addressed large audience at
the Methodist church in this place last Sun
day night The weather was exceedingly
warm and oppressive. and the pews were
nearly all full. The speaker detained the
audience with an unusually long sermon
before he came to the subject of his mission,
by which time they were worn out with the
excessive heat. and many left before the
gentleman got through. This conduct up
on the part of our usually well-behaved
and attentive church going people seemed
to mortify the speaker very much, and he
so expressed himself before leavidg the
stand. It is a matter of regret that the
Rev. gentleman, who is engaged in no
Bile work, was so inconsiderate, on that sui
try evening as to indulge himself
in such a very long sermon before he came
to the particular object of his visit, and
that he should have expressed his chagrin
in such strong terms. No one could blame
the audience for becoming wearled. Long
sermons won't pay this hot weather and
our local preachers don't indulge in Them.

General Lee, in acknowledging the re-

Gettysburg reunion, says his engagements
will not permit his attendance, and adds :

the war, but to follow the example of those
nations who endeavored to oblterate the
marks Of strife and commit TO oblivion the
feelings it engendered.
