nature. Cnker, the negro fire-eater from Car

tp give an exhibition Of his FIRE proofqualities,
Of which so much has been said. He Tapped
his tongue several times on a red hot shovel ;
rubbed the same hot shovel on the bottom OF
his foot, and poured melted lead into his hand,
and thence into his mouth, where he let it re-
main until it hardened. There was no leger-
demain about it--it was done in presence of a
number of gentlemen Immediately around him,
and by whom be was closely watched to pre-
vent imposition. A physician examined his
mouth, but could find no evidence of burns, or
that the heat had any effect upon him. Ii is
his skin worthy the attention of scientific men.

An Acknowledgement.

EDS. HERALD:-Permit me to lay before
your readers brief occount of an interest
ing surprise which took place at our resi-
dence on Tuesday evening, April 18th.
By stratgetic movement Mrs NJ and
myself were induced away to spend the af-
ternoon, and when we returned, we found
our house had been entered-not by burg
lars, but by kind and generous friends. Our
attention was soon directed to an extensive
table, covered with the substantials and
luxuries of life; the arrangement of which
displayed Judgment skill and good taste.
The friends gathered in and the heuse was
soon well filled. The evening was spent
very pleasantly. Good, kind, social feeling
characterized the occasion. When supper
was announced, brief, religious service were
had, which impaired interest to the social
enjoyment. The remarks of Brother Car
penter and the prayer of Brother Keen,
were very appropriate, and were listened
to with marked attention and appreciation
The citizens Of Washington and vincinity
will please except our thanks, for the re-
spect, kindness, and iberality manifested
toward myself and family, on the occasion
referred to.
The enterprise was not only success
but everything that could be desired
The amount contributed was one hun
dred and twenty dollars in money, and six
ty-five dollars in other valuables. May The
kind and generous donors be rewarded will
temporal and spiritual blessings.

Enlargement of the Herald.

According to promise, we, to-day, present
to our readers, the FAYETTE COUNTY HER
AID in an enlarged form, and, as we think,
improved in other respects. The growing
importance of our Town, and the increasing
demands of our enterprising County has call
ed for an Improvement, and We can assure
our readers that it has not been accomplish
ed without heavy additional expenses to
US. A new press and the purchase Of other
new materials were necessary to enable US
to accomplish this object, and, to repay us
for this expenditure of money and addition
al labor, we rely upon the generosity and
magnanimity of the intelligent people of
Fayette County. Our own ideas of progress
ion are of such character, that they would
not allow us to permit our neighbOrs to
leave US in the rear, in any enterprise which
may be of interest or credit to the Town or
County in which we live. 1t SHALL there
fore, be our vigilant effort to make the HER
AID useful and interesting to its readers and
a credit to the Town and County in which
it is published. But friends, we shall need
your cooperation and your patronage to en-
able us to effect our object. We want you
to assist US to extend the circulation of the
HERALD until it shall be weekly visitor
to nearly every family ireside in the COun-
ty. The cost of the paper to a subscriber
will be but two dollars a year, in advance,
or the same price it has been heretofore,
and the amount of reading matter will be
greatly increased. If every friend to our
object Will give US a little assistance by
way of urging their neighbors to subscribe
for the HERALD, its circulation and useful
ness can be greatly increased.
The principles of the paper, as they have
been developed during the last twelve and
half years of its existence, will continue
to be rigidly adhered to, until we are con-
vinced that we have been in error; there
fore, we have no new platform to lay down,
but shall adhere to the broad principles OF
right and justice to all.
In conclusion, we most sincerely tender
our thanks to those numerous friends who
have SO long stood by us, and given US their
patronage, hoping that they will find it to
their interest and their pleasure to continue
their patronage, and to induce their neigh
bors to follow their example, in this re-
sdect, at least.

Consolidated.

We have noticed elsewhere, that the
Cincinnati Daily Times has passed into the
hands of the Cincinnati Chronicle Com
pany. On Monday the editors Of each of
these afternoon Dailies, sent out their edi-
torial valedictories, and on Monday, the
Times and Chronicle consolidated, made its
appearance.
The editorial bow of the consolidated
paper is graceful and betokens activity and
usefulness on the part of the conductors.
They say:
To the readers of the Times we bring
the assurance of our adherence to its time
honored to-"Independenti in all things,
neutral in nothing" They will never find
US acting as plant tools in the hands of
any party or clique. We shall be true to
Modest convictions, even though we stand
alone. That our readers will always agree
with US in everything is not to be eXpec-
ted. That they will be ready to credit
us with honesty of purpose we do not
doubt. In the main, we shall pretty sure
ly agree.
Turning then to the numerous patrons
and readers of the Chronicle, the editors
of the consolidation says:
To the habitual readers of the ChrOni-
Gle, we need add nothing beyond what was
said in its issue of Saturday. Those who
have remained our steadfast friends from
the start, and have rejoiced in the steadily
advancing fortunes of the Chronicle, will
surely be pleased with the step now. taken,
and cordially go hand in hand with us as
of old
By uniting the two journals, we gain an
aggregate daily and weekly circulation
greater than that of any other journal in the
| West. We shall strive to make the Times
and Chronicle worthy of this support, and
of welcome reception everywhere.

WILLIAM BRYSoN, Oldest son of widow Ann Bry
son, of this place
1t seems eminently appropriate that the decease
of one so long and so favorably known by our citi
zens should receive at our hands the testimonial
of affectionate remembrance.
William Bryson was born September 14th, 1928,
and was in his 43d year at the time of his DEATH
He became connected with the BlOOmingburg
Baptist Church during religious meeting held
by Rev. Levi Griffith, and for 10 years maintained
an active christian standing in the church OF his
choice. His removal to Kansas two years since,
caused change in the sphere of his religious
tiYity, but in so brief time he gained so many
friends in that western country that his widow,
though separated from connections, has many
about her to ympathize and to help her His death
was after lingering illness, during which he gave
testimony to the power of religion to comfort and
direct him. He died from DrOpsy on the chest
He leaves wife and children to mourn his loss
s'How blest the righteous when he dies
When sinks weary soul to rest
How mildly beam the closing eyes;
How gently heaves the expiring breast''

RoBBERY.-On Monday night last
week the post Office at Wilmington
was entered by burglars and robbed of
all the letters in the Office, about six
hundred dollars worth of letter stamps
and probably about ten dollars in sill

known how much money there may
have beer in the letters which they
took to field North of town and
