Mr. Greeley vs.. Governor Stevenson.

In our report OF the conversation had
with Mr.. GREELEY on Friday evening
it was stated that the interview took
place after his lecture This was in
correct, the conversation reported hav-
Ing taken place at the McLure House
5.'5re the lecture. Mr. GREELEY WAS
very emphatic in his denunciation Of
the proscriptive course pursued by the
Radicals in this State The notes
taken by our Reporter were read to him
and he made some corrections, strength
ening the language used. In CONVEX
sation with several gentlemen on the
train coming from Clarkshurg he reiter-
ated the sentiments contained in the let
ter published in the REGISTER on Friday
morning; said he had read Judge
JACKsoNs charge TO the Grand Jury
and that it conceded with his opinion
as to the scope of the Enforcement
act.
Mr.. GREELEY is considered pretty
good Republican authority, and Gov
ernor STEVENSON and Attorney General
CALDWELL would better revise their cir
cular letters OF Instructions to the
Boards Of Registration.

A LION FIGuT. Our fires were surround
ed by these animals at very short dis
lance, and they Kept us company until
daybrake, when they disappeared The
largest lion ever saw, a most SPLENDID
beast, was close to US all night He appeared
so hungry that he would have made very
small bones of any one who should have
fallen in his way. and magnificent lion

should either Of them in their fury spring
over the fires. The two brutes fought for
the lioness, and the incredible activity of
the smaller Of the two was something aw-
full. 1t leaped upon the back of the big
one and both rolled over together, the
fore quarter of the big lion being one
mass of blood I consulted with the
Kaffirs as to what had better be done, and
we decided upon firing assagais at them,
keeping three guns in reserve in case OF
necessity. The pricks of the assagais
made them more fierce towards each other,
and for few seconds they seemed posi-
lively riveted together. Meantime Jas the
fighting of these two brutes had driven all
the other game away, we discharged a
volley of musketry at random, which did
not seem to take effect They still fought
on, blood running from them as water
from pump. we loaded again and fired,
this time with more precision, for we shot
the small one dead. The other stood over
his dad foe, Gefiantly flashing his tail
backwards and forwards, for considerable
time. until at last being apparently tired of
that amusement, and growing weaker by
his wounds, he crawled off.-Sketches Of

A Funeral Discourse.

The readers Of The Draacer have,
within the past year or two, been edi-
fed with the perusal Of sermon on
81 he harp of thousand strings" and
the Farewell Discourse of Brother
Watkins" The tone Of this discourse
might, in a general way, be called
pleasing. Not so, however, the follow
ing brief allusion from the pulpit to
young man of Indifferent position in
the social circles of B, New Hamp-
shire, who came to an early decease by
a vigorous but absurdly unequal con-
test with a party of the Otard family.
The preacher who oficiated at the final
solemnities improved the occasion by
making the following remarks:
II hev been requested, not to say
importuned to deliver funeral dis
course on this occasion, and | have re-
luctantly consented to do so. | never
heerd any good of the deceased yit;
and if the friends hev made up their
minds that am about to begin sech a
course now they are very mach mista-
ken. I estimate, in fact, that this
young man, now a-layin' before you,
was about the aust man ever permitted,
in the onscrutable ways of the divine
peppuses, to locate in this vicinity
He was one who l might say alters fell
when he was tempted and he certingly
appeared to me to seek, rather than to
avoid, occasions for such temptation.

as was the custom when the family OF
the deceased was alluded to, and, deem
ing it complimentary remark, courte-
sled to the ~preacher.l ssIn short, at
ter diligent inquiry intoc the patrick

while he has resided in this village, |

the only good thing that kin@be said of
him at all is that he was an active

tier to see friend. The family con
sisted Of a husband, his wife, and two
grown sons. The good old lady was
the only one Of the family who did not
take little of the 20, be joyful"
After sitting by the fire a few min
utes, the old gentleman tipped him
the wink, and the visitor followed him
out Stopping by tree, the old gen
tleman pulled out a long-necked bottle,
remarking:
81 have to keep this hid, for the
boys might get to drinking, and the
old woman would raise the devil!''
They took drink, and returned to
the fireside.
Soon Tom, the eldest son, asked the
visitor out to see colt; and taking
him behind.the barn, pulled out a ttask,
remarking:
II have to keep this hid, for the old
man will get drunk, and the devil is to
pay" and they both took drink and
returned.
Soon Bob stepped on the visitors
toes, and walked off, the visitor follow
ing. AS they reached the pig pen,
Bob drew forth good sized bottle,
remarking:
"You know Tom and the old man
will get drunk, and | have to hide this. "
The visitor concluded that he could
not stand it to drink confdentially
against the whole family, and started
for home.
