RUMoRED REMOVALS. - Rumors have
reached US to the effect that Mr.. Mauzy,
clerk of the court at Culpeper courthouse,
I.S IF oh
Minor Bolts that Mr.. Shackelford, COM
monTealth's attorney for that county,
has been superseded by Lewis, o son-in-
law of Bolts that r. NJ. Heterick, clerk OF
the Rappahannock court, and J. Y. Meme
fee, commonwealth attorney, have been
superseded by j. H. Settle and Frederick
Bruce; and that carpet-bagger got off the
Orange train the other day and made for
Brentsville in the full expectation of GUST
ing Nicol from the office of commonwealth
attorney, but failed to find a commission
awaiting him at that post-office. 1t is I'M
derstood that William Bootright expects to
get the Office of clerk of the county court of
Fauuuier. Every one will make his own
comments on these Objectionable appoint
ments.-W arrenton Inder.
When our neighbor begins to preach we
can only be silent, but would suggest to it
that the world is to be saved by the " fool
ishness of preaching" and not by the
preaching of foolishness.-Inder.
If the Express will make as good hit as
the above we will reproduce it also.-Rici-
n.ond Dispatch.
We acknowledge the hit. But the Inder
is o hardened sinner, and comes within the
category of those described by the apostle
as wrestling the Scriptures to their own
destruction"
When the apostle says the world is to be
saved by the foolishness of preaching u
he means that those who, like the Inder,
refuse the gospel, regard it as " the preach
ing of foolishness."
This may not be 80 "good hit as the
above Our neighbor having the advan-
tage in skilfully availing himself of the
tranSpoSition SO evidently sugge5ted-but,
as John Jones said-who had made a wager
to excel certain John Sylvester in q
rhyme, to which the latter objected that his
opponents effusion was not poetry" il
may'nt be poetry, but it's true though, by
jingo.''-PeterSbTg Express.
