ard of true greatness which consists not
in intellectual ability, or requirements ;
not in social standing, or influence; not
in gathering and possessing wealth not
in the possession of power, but in the use
of what man had; as using it for the
good-the highest good Of his fellows, the
world throughout. In the evening he
preached from the familiar text, Of Rev.

knock if any man hear my voice, and
open the door, | will come in to him, and
will sup with him, and he with me-"

TIcoNDERooA-The work on the rail
road ferry is progressing rapidly. No
serious damage has been done by anybody
from Whitehall.-The report that man
was nearly murdered here is somewhat
exaggerated. The truth of the affair, as
near as we can learn, is this: Two young
men, John McCambridge and Clark Wal
lace, after drinking quite freely, engaged
in scuffle all for fun. After q little
Wallace got angry and bit McCambridge's
thumb, whcreupon the latter knocked him
down. Wallace then went into his house
and soon after, as it is supposed, came out
with knife. Another scuffie ensued
in which McCambridge was severely stab
bed in the body and limbs. Wallace was
held to bail to the amount of $500.

hear? Come, Father Burke, trot out
your gal"
But Sally refused to be trotted She
would be married where she was, or not
at all. We argued and coaxed, but she
was firm; and it was finally concluded
to let her have her own way. Mr.. Nor.
rison stood up, the happy couple joined
hands through rent in the coverlet, and
the ceremony proceeded.
Just as Mr.. Morrison was asking Lem
uel, "Will you have this woman" etc,
down came the coverlet, enveloping both
minister and bridegroom, and filling the
house with dust. Dick had been up in
the loft and cut the strings that held it.
Mr., Morrison crawled out, looking deci-
dcdly sheepish; and Sally was obliged to
be married openly. To the momentous
question Lemuel responded ITO be
sure; what else did 1 come here for?
And Sally replied; "Yaas, if you must
know
Salute your bride, said Mr.. Morri-
son, when all was over.
"Tm ready to do anything, elder"
said Lemuel; "but skin me if 1 know
about that, sir! Just show me how,
and III do it, ii it kills me-"
My husband drew back nervously;
but Sally advanced, threw her arms
around his neck, and gave him q kiss
that made the very windows clatter.
"I yum, if 1 don't do ditto!" cried
Lemucl; and hastily taking huge bite
from piece of maple sugar which he
drew from his pocket, he made n dash
at Inc, smashed my collar, broke my
watch-guard into a dozen pieces, tore
my hair down, and succeeded in plant
ing kiss on my nose, greatly to the de-
light Of the company.
Then he turned to my husband:
"Now, elder, what is the damage?
Don't be afraid to speak,"
"Whatevcr you please" said Mr.. Nor
rison.
Lemuel produced a piece of fur.
"There, elder" said he, "tbere's
muskrat skin; and out in the shed is
two heads Of cabbage. You're welcome
to the hull"
My husband bowed his thanks; the
young people went to dancing; Mrs.
Burke went to getting breakfast; and at
my earnest request, Mr.. Morrison got
our horse and we babe them adieu. 1
never could have lived through another
meal i'll that house.

that if he had seen the elders wife be-
fore she was married, Sally might have

An Editor i'm Jail.
From the Moptgomery AdyertlserJ

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
We learn from the letter of our CORES
pondent at Eufaula that Mr.. John Black,
the editor Of the Eufaula News, is now in
prison under somewhat novel circumstan-
ces. About two months ago a cOmmuni-
cation was published in the News COM
menting in severe terms on the want of
fitness and qualifications of the grand and
petit juries Of the City Court of Eufaula,
and declaring that these juries we're not
drawn, as the law directs, but selected, iu
violation of the law. It also charged that
certain individual, not named, (by in
ference the Judge,) had caused the ne
groes on the grand jury, constituting ma
jority of that body, to meet him at night
to find indictments or to change those al
ready found. The Judge of the Court
was also described at the same time as be-
ing inexperienced and unlearned," aud
the juries with being "ignOrant and stu
pid." Mr.. Black was summoned before
the grand jury, and required by the Jury
to expose the name of the correspondent
in question, which he refused to do. He
was ordered Into custody for contumaoy
as a witness, but afterwards discharged by
the Judge. 1t appears that subsequently
he was re-arrested.
The ground for Mr.. Blacks arrest seems
to be an alleged contempt of the grand
jury in refusing to answer questions MS
witness. The fifth paragraph of the 631th
section Of the revised Code confers on tho
courts and grand juries the power to iu-
flict summary punishment in cases where
person refuses to answer "any lawful ques-
tiOns as witness or garnisheo." In the pIe-
sent case was the question proposed to
Mr.. Black by the grand jury, and which
he declined to answer, lawful question 2
If the object Of the grand jury was to OBJ
tain information for the purpose of inves-
tigating, through the correspondent of the
News, the truth or falsity of the grave
charges affecting the course Of public JUS
tice made by the correspondent, the ques-
tion was perhaps lawful one, though We
are by no means sure Of it, No such
question could be asked for any other
purpose.
