The very polite notice to trespassers
In last weeks HERALD brings to mind
an incident which occurred in this
neighborhood. Mr.. T., a gay young
man, was hunting upon the premises
OF his neighbor, Mr.. B., and in follow
ing up the game, he soon found himself
very near the dwelling. The rapid re-
ports of his gun brought out the old
gentleman, who said, "Mr. T., what
would you say if you should find me
His cool reply was, "Well, sir, If it
was about this hour of the day, would
say, Mr.. B., come in and have some
dinner" This elected q hearty laugh
and cordial invitation to Mr.. T. to
stay and take dinner.
Rev: Mr.. Gray having returned from
his old home in Virginia, aud brought
his family with him, has entered regu~

his opening sermon on last Sabbath.
HIS text was we'll chosen for the occa-
sion, and his sermon was replete with
sound doctrine aDd words of comfort to
his people, and, indeed, to all christians.
Mrs. Gray has been quite indisposed
since her arrival, the result, doubtless,
of the fatigue incident to moving and
preparation for the trip.

Texas letters of the 18th report yellow
fever at Bryan, Calvert and other inland
towns, in the interior of that State. The
disease was not spreading at Bryan to
any great extent, but was raging with
fearful fatality at Calvert. The Badget

started on Tuesday tor Texas. They go
with their wagons and work stock, and
all else that will be needed by them
for entering at once upon farming oper-
atlOns, at whatever point they may
choose to locate. 1t is said that Mr..
William Grigsby and family also intend
moving to Texas this fall or winter.
What has become of the new temper
ance organization? They were trou bled
about suitable room in which to hold
their meetings, but it is hoped that they

necessity for vigorous efforts upon the |
part of the friends OF temperance than
