REV. WIN. sTODDARD,

KEW. W VI. SIODDAkD,
OF the Presbyterian Church, by special
invitation, delivered his celebrated lee
turs upon "Celibacy and Courtship," at
the Thespian Hall, in this place, on Mon
day night, the 18th ult., to large and
intelligent audience. Some pretty Sc
we're criticisms, concerning his lecture
in Nashville, having been published in
a religious paper OF that city, everybody
went out to hear, for themselves, what
there was in his lecture to elicit such Sc
enviable reputation for learning and in
telligence He is singular and excen-
trio, and manifests greater originality
of thought, OF style, and of manner, than
any man or minister in this section of
country. He has been laboring as a
minister for several years past, most ac-
ceptably to the people of his charge, but
singularly enough, he has refused to ac-
cept any compensation, or il he has re-
ceived any at all, he has appropriated it
all to benevolent or charitable purposes.
He has also spent much time in educat-
ing young men for. the ministry, and for
this he would receive no compensation.
As far as men can be judged by their &c
tions, he is one of the most disinterested-
ly benevolent and self-sacrificing minis
tiers of the gospel, that this country has
ever produced. A man, greatly beloved
by his brethren and most highly res
pecte6 by all who know him, and after
a patient and attentive hearing OF his
lecture, this community are greatly sur
prised that the charge of Ignorance and
profanity" should have been allowed to
appear in a popular and ably edited re-
ligious paper, against a minister of I'M
blemished reputation, and a man of ac-
knowledged ability and learning.
THE CORN CROP.
Since our last report of this important
crop, some new and rather strange de-
velOpments have taken place; for in
stance, in some of the corn fields, of the
richest land, there are acres together, of
dwarfed stalks, that never can make
corn, not even u "nubbin," while in the
same field, and upon exactly similar
land, the corn is fine. Various have
been the cOnjectures of farmers in re-
gard to this strange phenomenon, but
the theory of that wide-awake,
close calculator and close observer,
Fount Odil, ESQ.,, seems the most plaus-
IDLE, if, indeed, it is not perfect solu-
ton of the difficulty. He says, upon close
examination, he has found a worm at
the root of these dwarfed stalks, that,
penetrating the tender fibres, extracts
from the plant its vital fluids, and leaves
it to wither and die. Many of the finest
farms in this portion of the county are
suffering from this cause, and the peO-
pie around here would like to know
whether they are the only or chief suf>
fererSSin this reSDect.

gives the "cutting ofwheat" as the next
subject of discussion before the Maury
County Farmers Club. 1t should have

to be governed by amount grown per

This and other subjects of interest will
be before the Club and II full attendance
is requested.
The Banner of the ID inst, suggests
that farmers are holding back their
wheat for high prices. Judging from
this section it seems more probable that
they are holding back, because from the
shortness of the crop they have little or
none to send. Respectfully,

The sulphur Spring.

Two of our cntcrprising fellow 3izcns, A,
Barr and j. L. Mctiaw, deserve grcat credit for
fixing up the sulphur Spring, on Bear Creek,
our summer resort. They spent one hundred
dollars in removing the rubbish put on the
spring by the Greek, and traced the stream
through a rock to point where it flows album
dantly. The road TO the spring is still ilk
very bad condition, and Mr.. Barr and NJ.
McGaw desire TO improve If, if the citizens
will contribute something Immediately to that
near il aS good as our sulphur Spring, the
people would fix IL up in elegant style. We
sincerely trust that our citizens will call inn
mediately on Mr.. Barr or Mr.. Mctiaw, and
give ten dollars, five dollars, or fifty cents, il
they can't give more, but the more the better.

Mr. VIM. stoddard's Lecture.

The Ladies' Aid Society of the Methodist
Church in Columbia deserve the than Ks of cv-
erybody in our community, for getting up a
series of lectures by distinguished men. They
recently invited Mr.. VIM. Stoddard to deliver
in our city his lecture entitled, Celbacy by
Experience, and COurtshlp by Observations.
He accepted the invitation, and last Tuesday
night was appointed for the delivery of the
lecture, Almighty cultivated and apprcclatlye
audience went to the NJ. =: Church TO hear the
distinguished lecturer. The subject was well
suited to the season and the audience. sum
mer lectures should aim to please and interest
the mind, rather than instruct II. We were
previously advised or requested by beautiful
and charming young lady OF this city noE to
criticise Mr.. StoIdard's lecture harshly. We
can comply with her request without at all OF
Tending our conscience. The lecture was IN
many respects an admirable one 1t was rs
chaste as Diana, and contained healthy NOR
al AMI religious tone. 1t was beautiful mo-
sale of humor and sentiment, so beautifully
and artistically interviewer that ii was lmpos-
sibe to discover where's the sentiment left on
and the humOr began. They were quite dis
tinct, however, and it is very strange to us
that the author of the severe criticism IN the
Christian Advocate was not able to see the
difference. The lecturers apparent oppQsl-
ton 10 marriage was a very inc stroke OF hui
NOR. The real idea sustained throughout the
lecture, seemed to US to be this: That II Is not
appointed to all men to marry, and the very
prevalent belief that man or woman that
goes through long life unmarried Is necesSarl:
" a useless and Improbable being, Is a wrong
idea That il is best for some people not to
marry: they can more fully do 4 noble work.
1t is wrong IN society to make unmarried wo
men and men ashamed of their age by ridlcule.
To carry out this general idea, Mr.. Stoddard
said, lperhaps in earnest, perhaps IN jest, that
the natural condition of man is the unmar
ried state, and the married state the abnor-
mai or assumed condition: thrce-elghths Of
the human family alone living IN the latter
state.
The day after the delivery of the lecture, a
number of citizens signed and sent Il letter to
Mr.. Stoddard, requesting him to repeat his
lecture in our city, but he was gone before IT
was sent to him. We trust that the excellent
President Of the Aid Society and her mUItHy
assistants, will continue TO get eminent lee
turcrs 10 come among US.
