Rev. r. A. Hollands Lecture.

Rev. Mr.. Hollands lecture, delivered
before the literary socities of Washing
ton College, on the 24,h of June, has
been published in pamphlet form, and il
for sale by Messrs. Cleayes, Smithwick \
Hatcher, of this city. The lecture is
headed "Integrity of Characteristic
Proper Aim of Education" and is some
thing out of the usual line Of such dis.
courses; hence has attracted much atten-
ton, and has been the subject of some
sharp criticism. After casual read.
ing, we come to the conclusion that
the learned and eloquent gentleman
took pogitiop ir regard to labor that is
not justified By the bibls, aad which will
produce an injurious effect upon South
ern youth Of this critical period of our
history. He calls labor g miserable
thrall," and punishment" and en-
couraged his hearers 10 throw it off when
ever they could, to "rauge at will over
Che fenreless fields Of thought that invite
the spontaneous play Of their powers"
In DR.. Watts time Satan always found
work for idle hands to dc" and we be-
lieye thst hs4sn naiGra 10 Isoh the
same as it vas then. On the whole, the
lecture is brilliant and readable.

In this court yesterday the first cast
taken up was that Of State Va. Louii
Street, indicted for the murder Of one
Cambridge Cox, on the 25th Of Decem
Der, 1868. The witnesses in the case
were, in their proper order, then called
to the stand, and from them were ELECTED
the following facts: The defendant and O
large number of his companions were
having spree or Christmas frolic out
on the Raleigh road, near the city, on
said occasion, and during the discharge
of firearms the deceased was killed by a
bullet from weapon in the hands of the
defendant, Street. Upon opening the ar
gument for the State, General Horrigan
stated that he only sought to convict the
defendant Of involuntary manslsughter,
as it was apparent that such was the case
from the testimony. Upon the case being
given to the jury they returned verdict
of guilty of involuntary manslaughter,
and fixed the punishment at one year in
the penitentiary.
State vs. Edward Lindsay, indicted for
horse stealing, came next in turn, and
after careful examination of the case,
the jury took the matter under considera.
ton and found him guilty, and fixed his
punishment at FIVE years in the peniten-
tiary.
State We. Dick Murphy, indicted for
housed breaking, was then arraigned for
triGl and the same proceeded with, which
resulted in verdict of guilty; punish
ment fixed at Eve years in the peniten-
tiary.
The following cases were not prosed /:
State vs.. VIM. Mullen, malicious stab
bipg.
State VS.. Fanny Clayton, robbery.
State VS.. John Glass, horse stealing.
The attorneys for the State in the
Leonard case were engaged during the
afternoon session in preparing the affi-
davis of nine jurors who sat upon the
case, to rebut the affidavits of parties
made in support of motion for new
trial. alleging misconduct on the part of
some of the jurors in the late trial.
To day the call of the regular calen-
dar will be continued.

Ftars.-rhe cabin of James Mcwilliams, on

FIREs.-The cabin OF James McWiliiams, on
Mabie's fat, near Douglas City, burned down
during last Monday night. 1t is not known how
the FIRE originated, Mr.. McWilliams being absent
at the time, but it is supposed the cabin was
frst robbed by some one and afterwards set on
FIRE, no trace Of -four, blankets or anything of
the sort being dis:ernible in the ashes. Loss
about three hundred and fifty dollars. We have
also to chronicle the destruction by the fire Of
the cabin of the Harvey brothers, on Fivecent
gulch, Weaver basin, which happened Wednes-
day noon, the 25th instant. The inmates had
come home for dinner and built fire in the
stove to cook with, and it happening that all
were temporarily absent, the roof caught from
the stove-pipe, and before anything could be
done the building was all ablaze. Nothing was
saved, and the loss of furniture, clothing, ETC.,
was considerable, but we are unable to approxi-
mate to the amount.
