The CENTESSIAL.--Wer regret that we were
unable 20 be present on this interesting occa-
sion, which was celebrated q. Caanon's Greek
Churcl, last Friday. There we're about one
thousand persons present. The speakers on
this occasion were III. J. F. J. Caldwell ard
Rey. II. T. Sloan. We learn that the day
was most pleasantly and proftably spent.
Without any collusion, agreement o. know
ledge whatever, on the part OF the gentlemen
who spoke, one took up the thread just where
the other broke of. Mr.. Caldwell's address
began with the origin of the \. +. Church in
Scot!and-with TIC Hnox'S, Erskine's and
others, and went pleasantly en- witt: its rise,
progress and development, Sc, and at the
close of Alr. C.'s lecture, which showed him
we'll posted in the canons and characteristics
OF the early church in Scotland, he was
followed by Mr.. Sloan, On the establish
ment Of the church here in 1772, and its
subsequent growth, in which many matters
of interest were referred to. Within the lapse
of a century great deal happens. and it ap-
pears that Of the families and names O: the
founders Of the Church, while some still live,
among whom are the CALDWELL, the Fa ;rs,
and others, some have passed away leaving
no trace whatever.
a HENS TENAcITY OF LIFE.-Thc TO-
lowing we relate for the benefit of those in
tereS.ed in the domestic fowl. 4 gentleman
of this to#n. famously fond Of raising fine
chickens, missed q pet hen, and after yainly
enquiring in the neighborhood for the truant,
vas told by one Of his children that there
was dead chick under pile Of cross-ties in
the yard, as several wing feathers were seen
slightly protruding from a crevice. Search
was made and the fowl was found to have
gone in to lay but could not come out. The
opening into which she had gone, was like g
rat trap-large at the entrance and narrow
ing to point at the other end, and going so
far as she could, the faithful animal, without
being able TO move or hu:ter, remained IN
.bis unfortunate plight unit! the morning Of
the thirteenth day she was missed When
taken out She could not stand, and was
bag Of bones and feathers, with just sufficient
lie 10 recover slowly. When water was
given her she drank like a pigeon. Dnring
the concealment Of the hen she laiL an egg,
which WAS decom posed. Why did she not
tion?
No one need fear to believe this story--it
vas related t. lis hy The gentleman who
owned and daily fed the fowl, and whose
Tord is synonym To- truth.
The MOUNTAISS.- i trio Of Young citi-
ems went for the mountains some days aeo.
We do not think they arc in quest Of health,
strength cr-good looks for, to Us, they
eem 10 possess all these. We opine, there
ore: that they seek simply the pure air and
generous water: the grand and imposing
mountain heights, and the quiet scenes OF
be picturesque wales, AMI the rustic fare
md the hearty welcome Of the gallant noun
aineer. We wish them pleasant time.
But there is another party they'll sing 3
among the coyes and cliffs and
rags and cones when they get back to their
ye muSh with their two grey horses for the
Iamsels to count.
We advise these two French gentlemen to
axe it rough. and eat their mush with just
title chicken soup, and bear and deer if they
III get it, with mountain trout and brown
read (apnle-bu;tered,l and buttermilk, and
'a!zcd apples. and roasted potatoes, en- robe,
nth rare steak and mutton chop, not for
citing to put an egg in their muSh dunapling
: breakfast, and 2 tbimhle-full of tha: pure
aountain corn in raw egg under their ribs
'efore breakfast, provided, first tha. having
ctigcd after bath and lemon, they rise in
he morning determined to run, Jump stretch
heir Sinews, move their muscles, sing laugh, |
