REV. DAVID l.. DECENTRALIZATION Sun
day night this gentleman preached to large
congregation, in the Methodist Protestant
Church, in this place. His subject, "The
God that answereth by fire." was taken from
the 18th chapter of1st book ofKings, and was
handled in a mastery manner. Mr.. G.,
though young man, is an earnest and elo-
quent preacher, and we predict will make
his mark as pulpit orator, if his life should
be spared. He is son of Rev. A. Fl. Green
field, of this place, and is now stationed at
Lynchburg, Va, where we are glad to know
his talents are recognized and appreciated.

A PUFF OF SMoKE.-An esteemed friend
has sent us q package of Lone Jack smok-

Carroll, of Lynchburg, Va. 1t is of bright,
golden color, perfectly free from stems, and
its smoke is rs fragrant as the perfume OF

bacco that Sir Walter Raleigh first smoked,
it is not to be wondered at that he became a
votary of the weed. Mr.. Carroll is engaged
very largely in the manufacture of this ex-
cellent tobacco, which we do not believe can
be excelled by any other manufactured in
this country. We have "puffed it with

The LAST OF THE MoHIcANs.--We have
received from Messrs D. Appleton &, Co., OF
New York, "The Last Of tie Mohicans," be,
ing the first Of j. Fenimorc Coopers Leather
Stocking series of romances, now being re
published by the Messrs Appleton. For
beauty of style, interest of plot, charming
and vivid descriptions of natural scenery,
&C., Coopers works have gained an honored
place beside those of Sir Walter Scott, as
classic works of fiction. Portraying, as they
do, the habits and characteristics of q race
which is being pushed slowly but inevitably
towards the setting sun by the advancing
tide of civilization, Cooper's romances will
increase in value and interest as the time ap-
proaches when the red man will cease to ex-
ist, save in tradition. The volume before us
is handsomely printed, and illustrated by
graphic sketches from the pencil of barley.

INTERNATIONAL CopYRIGHT-In the U. 8.
House of Representatives, on Saturday last,
Hon. Stevenson Archer advocated the passage
ofan international copyright law, in an able
and interesting speech, for which he should
receive the thanks of every author in the
land. Mr.. Archer exploded the falacious
reasoning of those who contend that an au.
thor's knowledge is not his own, but common
property, derived from those who have pre-
ceded him. The passage of the law advoca.
ted by Mr.. Archer would give an American
author the exclusive right to make any ar.
rangement he pleased for the republication
of his works abroad and also confer upon
foreign authors the same privilege in this
country.

The New York Ecening Mail says: The
Territorial Legislature Of Coloradojust ad-
journed, passed bill dispensing with the
tax levy for the current year because the
treasury was already supplied with isufi-
cient funds. The Arcadian simplicity and
happiness of a spot of earth where pub
Lie debt is unknown, and where the tax
gstherer comsth not, is something that we
have dreamed about, but believed to be
beyond the possibility of realization.
Think of public treasury with uustolen
funds enough in it to support the govern
ment for yearl tits among the things un-
seen and not to be hoped for.
