THE Rev. A. L. EXperlQOn, BUl-
garian priest of the Greek Church, de-
| livered quite an interesting lecture on
Saturday night, before small audience
in the Court House. The lecture occu-
pied about two hours, and presented
many striking and attractive sketches
of Eastern life. The reverend gentle
man is a learned scholar, and has been
a great traveller, and hence was both in
teresting and instructive.
His red cap and long black robe, to-
gether with the gun and pistol which
are his inseparable companions, make
him an object of curiosity on the streets.
He is travelling in the interests of his
church, and has already renitted some
twenty odd thousand dollars.
A GREAT outrage was committed in
Columbia Oh Saturday about midnight,

lob that they have TO take women from
their beds in half-dressed condition 10
tho guard house, We think it time for
them to cmigrate.
