July %, 1869.
Rev. w. E. Munsey, the celebrated Me-
thodist orator, arrived here yesterday. He
is in very feeble health, having for some
timo been suffering from general debility
and nervous depression.
Rev. J. d. Shearer, the principal Of the
Black Walnut Academy, in Halifax county,
Va, received the intelligence yesterday Of
his election as president of West Tennessee
College, an institution of high repute at
Jackson, Tenn. This honor to one of Vir-
ginia's gifted sons is compliment richly
deserved.
Rev. Mr.. Shcarer took the degree of A.
NJ. some twelve years ago ut the University
of Virginia. Since that time he has served
as pastor of the Presbyterian church at
Chapel Hill, N. c., four years, but more re-
Gently has been pastor of two Presbyterian
churches in Halifax county, Va. He left
here to-day for Tennessee.
We have had frequent and heavy showers
Of late, and many of us are finding two
blankets pleasant.
James A. Frazier, the beardless youth
who few months ago became the proprietor
of this grand establishment, is displaying
great business tact, and is achieving re-
markablc success. His three aids-Porter,
Sale, and Lewis the right men in the
right places. The table is superb, and every
thing moves on smoothly. We have had
twenty-five arrivals to-day, and but few
seem disposed to leave. 1t is good to be
here.

FALL OF MErEoR1c BoDY.-We saw
specimen of meteoric scoria this week. 1t
was shown to us by DR.. Harris, OF this city
The piece which we saw was sent by d. F.
Harris, the Doctors brother, at Elkhorn,
Wis, and the cellular sluggy matter fell
upon his farm, one mile from that village.
The piece shown us was of the size OF seven
and half inches by five and half inches
in diameter, and weighed one and half
ounces. 1t resembles in appearance slugs
from o furnace. From the windows were
seen, on very bright, clear night q lew
weeks since, brilliant light between the
hours of IL and IL. The observers supposed
comet had impinged upon the earth, and
it caused some alarm. The next morning
the scoria was discovered upon the plowed
ground of an adjacent corn-feld. 1t CO.
yored space of about four rods around,
and presented every appearance of having
fallen in hot fluid mass, as if it had
struck, spattered around, and cooled.-Ann

each acre Of fruit trees planted, from taxa

The same provisions as to fruS atrees arc

counties, and sugar made, where, fifteen
years since, was nothing but prairie grass

COAL DISCOVERIES IN 1NDIANA.-The
State Geologist, Professor +. I. Cox, has
just returned home after quite an extended
investigation in the counties Of Owen, Clay
Vigo, and Parke. He found large deposits
of coal and considerable iron ore in all
these counties, and traced the bolt of block
coal from the southwestern portion of Owen
county up into the extreme northern corner
of Parke, while it is his belicf-and some
little surface investigation has supported
the idea-that the block coal extends us far
north as Fountain. Day by day the Won
dcrful deposit of this peculiar species Of
coal in our State is being brought to light,
and it is safe to affirm that what we now
know of it is but the initial chapter Of o
rich volumc.-lndianopoHs Journal, July
