EertureOn Africa.

Rev. A. d. Phillips, Baptist Missionary TO
Africa for many years. delivered TWO lectures
at the Athenaum Hall last Monday and Tues
day nights, concerning the manners and Gus
toms Of the heather Africans, and the progress
Of Christianity among them. His lecture on
Monday night was very interesting indeed
Mr.. Phillips is very plain, straightforward
talker, and possesses in an eminent degree
that simplicity oflanguage which enables the
speaker TO make his readers understand even
those things which are most difficult to be
made understood. The audience was larger
than are generally found at lectures in Column
bia. Half of the proceeds of the lecture are

colored Baptist minister, was present and
seemed TO enjoy heartily the anecdotes told

He told them he would lecture, but be warned

sunIov scbool Mass-MeetIng.

As the Baptist Association was in ses~ !
sion last Sunday, 1t was concluded to
have a Sunday School ss-Meettng.
At three O'Clock all OF the Sunday
Schools in town assembled in the Meth
odist church, regardless of the inclem~
encv Of the evening. The exercises were
under the conduct of Mr.. POhlman, OF
Nashville. The exercises were opened
with music. The first speech was made
1v Mr.. Eaton, Of Chattanooga. He
very forcibly illustrated the advantage
OF teaching hildreu,--cOncerning the
truth of the Bible, through the medium
of Sunday Schools-by the,use of three
switches. The first was a plant timber
twig, that could be bent or Strengthened
at pleasure. This represented small
children, when their minds are suscep-
tible OF being easily impressed, and their
hearts are tender, and enforcing the
idea that il children are brought up IN
the way they should 90, that when they
are old they will not depart from
il. The second switch was little stiff
fer and little more crooked than the
first: vet, with some little difficulty
might be made subject to the will OF the
operat or. This represented boys when
they are twelve or fourteen years old.
At which age they are a little heady,
and disposed To have their own way,
but are not sbsOlutely beyond control.
This he described as critical period OIL
life. and one thst ought not to be neg
lected. Ii the proper impressions were
not made at this period, the boy so1l
passed into that stage OF lille, WhlSh h'
represented by an old, hard, unper uaole
crooked stick. ~

work had to be suspended, and since
our Fair appearances seem somewhat
dull.
On Friday night about O'Clock our
Male Academy, situated east OF town,
was discovered to be on fire, and so rap
idly did the flames epcircle the walls
and ascend the roof, that by the time
assistance reached the building it was
too far gone to be arrested It is now
smoldering ruin of ashes, brick and
mortar.
Mrs. Jarret Curl, wife OF our esteemed
neighbor Jarret Curl, Esq who resides
near the mouth of Pine River, died
about ten DAYS since, in full view OF the

Curl, who was born on the Bird of No
vember, I772, is in the enjoyment of ex-
celIent health, and all of her reasoning
faculties, and If she lives until next NO
