Peters, Musical Monthly

For February is to hand, containing its
usual variety Of beautiful music. 1t is q
mystery to us how the publisher can fur
nish so much valuable music for such q
small sum, and a still greater mystery to
see our musical friends spending their
loose change for sheet-music when they
can get from twelve to fifteen pieces of
music for the small sum of thirty cents, by
buying this Magazine. The February
Number contains the following pieces,
printed from f~ull-sizs music plates, and
worth $3.50 in sheet form:
Gently Lord, Oh ! gently lead us. Solo,
Duet, and Chorus, by H. p. banks.
Sleep s%wectly, love, and well. Serenade,
J. II. Wand.
Riding in Sleigh. Song and Chorus,
Will S. Hays.
Safe in the Ark. Song and Chorus, H.

False Education.

a remarkably strong case in proof OF
the latest inadequacy of any system Of ed
%ucation which is confined to the intellect,
is furnished by Edward ROllOff, who has
just been tried and condemned to death
for wilful murder, by a jury sitting in
New York. He was an enthusiastic stu
dent, learned, laborious and successful, yet
a thief, a forger and a murderer. His in
%tellect was highly trained, but his heart
had grown wild from neglect. His case is
prominent but not solitary, it is surroun-
ded by many of less magnitude, all paint
ing the same lesson-"The fear of God is
the beginning of Wisdom"

a Tale Of Sin -

We have received from the Publishers,
L. r. Hamcrsly & Co., a copy of a very
fascinating and admirably written story of
English life, by Johnny Ludlow, a celo-
brated London Magazine writer, entitled
ga Tale of Sin," but as the author re-
marks it is more a tale of suffering than
of sin. The book is a telling satire on that
condition of English society which pre-
vents English nOblemcn from marrying the
daughters of those who are held to be be-
low them in life. GA Tale of Sin" is
handsomely printed on fine white paper,
and embellished with a we'll executed en-
craving of Mary Layne, the unfortunate
heroine of the story. The price is IS
cents, and it can be obtained only from the
Publishers.

Rather Slim,

Our local items this week are rather
slim if not slim, at least there are but
few of them, for our town is monotonous
and uneventful. 1t would really be a
pleasant variety if the Prussians would
come and lombard us. But as We are too
humble for any such great distinction as
that, We must make the best Of our lewly

Having been very indulgent with our

from us by our paper makers and other
incidental expenses of the office, compel
us to ask of all %delinquents to come for

the aggregate, to us, while it is but little
to you. Now is the time to settle. We
must have what is due the Office in order
for us to prosecute the business as it

There is much merit in catering to the
humorous side Of our nature as to the So
Der and sedate. Men and women are made
to laugh and indulge in ~pleasantries just
as much as to pray and fast. Because a
face is uucommonly long instead of wide,
it does not follow that its posscssor is a
first class saint. We would as soon trust
a countenance got up on the broad as the
long gauge.

Our Northeastern boundary.

The Virginia Senate has passed a sup
Elementary bill for a commission to con-
slider the boundary lines not only of Vir-
ginia and Maryland, but between Tennes-
see and North Carolina also. Five thou
sand dollars is appropriated to start the
commission. In the course of the debate
it was calculated that the recovery of
disputed territory by Virginia would in
taxation much more than reimburse the
State in one year for any expenses incur
red. The Senator from Bland county
(Mr. French) stated that within the last
twelve months it has been discovered that
the proper line of Virginia in the vicinity
of Bristol would include some four or FIVE
miles now of Tennessee. If this be so
East Tennessee will lose one of its most
iourishing towns. However we imagine
our Virginia friends will find out they are
mistaken, and we will doubtless hold our
own.

Judge BlOdgett in charging the jury in

said hat "The adoption of the internal
revenue system in this country had unfOr-
tunately been productive of a class of per.
sons from whom the country had previ-
ously been exempt-volunteer infOrmers.
Disclosures in courts had shown that fell

doned their other eallings to become JUS
filters of the law, for hire, the mOioty OF
the penalty. While he recognized it to
be the duty and the interest of a good cit
izen to see to the enforcement of law, lie
could not say that the volunteers, actuated
by the motive of reward mot referring to
properly constituted government O%ficers)
were entitled to full credence. Their
testimony should, at least, be weighed
carefully, for certainly the rules of evil
dence could not require their testimony
to be accepted as conclusive evidence Of
any ones guilt. There should, at least,
be corroboration."
