The San Francisco Alta tells the
following: A man died recently
at Suter Creek who had never adj
hered to any particular belief in
any specified system ofreligionbut
who bore tie reputation Of be-
ing a liberal, kind-hearted man
and good citizen. A minister was
requested TO conduct the funeral
service and the good man during
his discourse said iu effect that the
deceased had not the least
chance of salvation, but had made
bee line for the hot place. Those
who heard this were very indig-
nant and that evening party of
men went to the ministers house,
dragged him out Of bed, put a rope
around his neck, declaring they
would hang him. He begged hard

Fire I'm I.eudOn County. Vir
ginfa

A correspondent of the Alexan-
dria Gazette from Hamilton, April
2, says: The residence of William
Brown, at Circleville. was totally
destroyed by fire yesterday, The
greater part of the furniture and
clothing of the family were lost in
the flames. There was an insur-
ance of $4,000 on the house and
furniture in the Mutual Fire Insu-
surance company of Waterford,
but whether it will cover the loss
| have not been able 10 ascertain.
The fire originated in the Kitchen,
it is supposed from a defective
fiue.
The house of Sylvanus Ke.Ier,in
Jasper county, Missouri, was blown
down during the night OF the Both
of March, and Keller, his wife and
five children were buried in the
ruins, Keller being fastened TO the
earth by a heavy beam. The room
took fire, and for a whileit seemed
that all must be burnt alive, but
by great exertions Kelle. managed
to release himself and rescue his
family with the exception of one
girl, seven years old, whose head
was crushed by The falling house,
and whose remains were badly
burned.

II the following resolutions
were adopted by the Tennessee
Press Association, in session in
Murlreesboro last week. They
are timely and proper recogni-
ton of the efforts of a gentleman
who has done more TO call public
attention abroad to the advanta-
ges offered by Tennessee to good
citizens seeking home, than any
other dozen men in or cut Of the
State
WHEREAS, We have noticed
with much qualification the eff
forts heretofore and now being
made by Mr.. W.T.. Hatch, of Min
neapolis, Minnesota, for the en-
enlargement Of immigration to
our State; therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That we, as the rep
resentatives of the Press of Ten
nessee, acknowledge his disinter-
ested efforts in that direction as
worthy of more than q passing no
tice; and be it further
RescLUed, That we tender him
our sincere thanks, ard offer him
all the facilities within our power to
further his laudable undertaking,
and that we extend to all whom
he may be instrumental in bring
ing to our State cordial welcome,
and an assurance that they can
come among US without the least
fear OF molestation, either of per-
son or property.
ResoLred,- That the Secretary
of this Association be instructed
to transmit the foregoing to MIR.

B The Importance of the
coming Ohio State election is
recognized all over the Union.
Since Pennsylvania votes in
November, with all the rest of
the States, she has lost the pres
tige she once enjoyed. The
New York Herald in an article
OH the subject, says:
''By the growth of its popula-
ton Ohio has become almost as
important aState as Pennsylvan-
ia. Solong as itshall continueto
hold October elections it will
be the battle field of our politi-
cal contests. Both parties
are certain to pour all their for
ccS into Ohio in October and
the result Of the contest will
virtually decide the next Presi-
Dental election. A great Dem
ocratic victory in Ohio in Oct
obcr this year would insure cor
responding victories in most of
the States which hold elections
in November, and paralyze the
hopes of the Republican party"

sP Hon. John Roush, a mem
her of the last or present Legisla'

that ex Federal soldiers are ostra-
cised in the South: "For instance,

had this to lay of Mr.. Bright:

lowed in a very elaborate AID
carefully prepared speech, but bis

Mr.. Bright is known not only at

Congress, asoneof The mostel qlent

pie who elected him,-to term him
