Bacon,

We learn that there is large amount
of bacon yet in the county, which is being
held, we suppose, in anticipation ofan ad-
vance in prices. The prices in this market
range from II to II cents per pound, and
not much of a prospect for it to advance
above that.

MortaIiiy Among the Clergy.


Rev. James Blair, Pastor of the Cum
berland Presbyterian Church at this place,
so long and favorably known as an earnest
and devoted Minister and servant of
Christ, died at his residence in LOudon
county, on the 9th inst. He had been
afflicted, and at times a great sufferer for
two or three years past yet, when able to
go, was always at his post. His life was
one of much labor and usefulness, and long
will his stcntorian voice and heart-search-
ing appeals be borne in mind by the peo-
pie Of Sweotwater. The funeral services,
conducted by Rev. A. Templeton, came
off on the 10th inst, in the town Of Lou
don, and a large concourse o fpeople and
relatives were present. The sermon
from the text "Blesscd are the Dead" &c.,
was powerful and overwhelming, every
eye and check was wet with tears, and the
testimony of all seemed to be that "truly
a great and good man has fallen" The
remains were then taken about a half
mile from town and deposited in their
last resting place, until the trump of God
is sounded.
We learn that the Rev. Joseph Peolor,
of this county, a Cumberland Presbyterian
Minister and co-laborer with Mr.. Blair,
died also on the 10th inst, and was buried
with Masonic honors on the llth, near
jacksonville. Mr.. p. was an earnest
preacher, and endcared to many in this
county. His loss will be greatly felt, yet
we must bow to the will Of Him WHO doeth
all things well.
