weakness in those organs that has reduced

The meanest and most brutal
trick that has ever come under our OBJ
servation, transpired on Friday even
ing last in our borough. A pony be.
longing to Samuel Barnett, of New
maaville, was stolen out of a pasture
at that place, brought to the bridge
over the Tionesta creek at the lower
end of town, and backed off the
bridge, the fall causing the death of
the animal. 1t had been backed of
the bridge on one of the abutments
once or twice before the end was ac-
complished, but had succeeded in
Jumping back on the bridge. We
don't want to chronicle any instances
of lynch law in our county, but if the
inhuman wretch who did the deed
could be caught we have no doubt that
he would perform Immediately on a
tight rope. The villain has not been
apprehended, but we believe strong
suspicious are entertained as to who
he is. We would advise him, whoever
he is, to put salt water between him
and Forest county, because it may
prove unhealthy for him if he stays
about here.

Mr.. DAvIs's SPEEcH.-The Radical pa
pers of the North are using their utmost
efforts to make political capital out OF the
speech recently made by Mr. DAVIS at Au-
gusta, Ga. The New York Standard is the
only one, however, which manilests much
ingenuity in itsefIorts. That journal knows
how to "put this and that together" rs
well, or almost as well, as its great patron,
hacker, and originator, BEsJAMlN +. But
LER. It finds in Mr.. DAvIs's speech re-
spouse to that lately made by MIR. VALLAN-
DIGHAH at bis home in Ohio! The south
ern people, according to the Standard, did
not like the tone of this latter speech, and
so the Augustans called upon Mir. DAVIS,
and he comfortcd them by the assurance
that the principles of.the lost cause were
not dead
These hypothesis are absurd enough.
They are disgraceful even to Beast But
LER's organ. But that he Injuries the south
ern people whenever ne speaks, Mr.. DAVIS
ought by this time to be convinced. He Aas
none of that 'srascally virtue, prudence"
He says things which are innoccp. enough in
themselves, but which ere capable of being
.misconstrued to our damage. We trus,
that he will quit "orasing."

CLOSING SCENES OF TIE PRESBYTERIAN
GENERAL ASSEMBLY AT HUNTSVILLE. Ala
A correspondent sends to the Petersburg
linden the following interesting account Of
the closing scenes of the Presbyterian Gene
raj Assembly:
The session was drawing to q close, and
the interest increased to an intense degree.
Tire most fragrant and eNquiSitely. beautiful
flowers adorned the tables ofthe moderator
and clerks, eyincnc the refined and delicate
attention of the ladies. The house was
crowded with most approaching audience
when the moderator, venerable with age
and dignity, and traces Of many years of
toll and efficient service rendered to the
church, took his seat. Devotional services
introduced suitably the business of the day,
and rapidly one after another of unfinished
items were presented and finished. One
matter in which the feelings of all were
most deeply interested yet remained and
oppressed many hearts with anxious dread
lest the peace that had filled our hearts
might be married. But 10 the brother who
had been blamed rs the author Of wrong,
humbly but firmly stepped forward, aver
red that what he md done had been
without any design to injure any
brother, and so far rs wrong had been
done, he asked to be forgiven. He
"'o lJISNcn, anu SOOI saw enc
mos. aggrieved slip round the moderator's
chair, and they both wept in the cor
dial grasp. Frequent illusions were made
to the cordial and abundant hospitality of
Huntsville, besides the cordial vote of
thanks, and the hearts OF all grew more and
more tender in feeling towards each other
as the hour Of separation drew near. One
brother remarked that having attended 10
meetings of the Assembly, he had neve',.
met with one exhibiting more earnest zr al
for the master diligence in duty or love, for
each other.
With touching tenderness the p' esidino
oiflcer requested the aged past or of this
church TO make u. e closing pray err after the
t par,,s n YIN was sung stardng. He at
t t;i,ap. 49, W. task. but overpowering emo
e oNnIs upp .essed his utterances and fearful
r rath. lied the vast assembly in deep SYM
l."' y. Thus closed the meeting Of the Az
ymbly, whose influence on our Church
will be long lelt, and the incidents and
scenes will be fondly-cherished re,mem-
brances in the hearts of the brethren while
any one of us still .linger on this 81 de the
Shining River.
