!, about the speaker that is cold, stiff
# dead but everything seems to come fro
q his inner chamber as in Dance war
b | and spiritualizcd. moving to the music
I his eloquent mind. Its gorgeous colo
l brighten like the colors of the rainbOv
its sweetness is inhaled like the eifluvi
; Of bed of flowers. Everything live
moves aud sparkles in his imagination
while over all, love waves in his purpl
light, kindlnG and uniting the hearts OF
whole audience, in transmitting a strear
of fire through a thousand brains at once
DIR. Munsey has no superior. AS lectu
rcr he is the most powerful we have eve
listened to. His voice is very good an,
yet in his tender sentiments, it is sol
and flexible as that of a woman. Ill
| speaks sometimes very rapidly, and gen
orally his words are sharply cut, making
it easy to understand. If we were com
petGnt to do him justice, we think it al
together unnecessary to eXtol tho merit!
! of this unrivaled orator. His magic
name called together a crowded house t.
| listen to his magic voice, and now tina
| he has left our town, he leaves behinC
bright memories and unalloyed respect
respect for his worth as a man, to crown
his efforts.
There was q delightful serenade, given
to the eminent Divine, DR.. w. Il. Nun
sey, after his lecture here on Tuesday
night, by three of our first class musical
artists. This was charming night OF
delicious sweetness, not a cloud in the
Heaven, and all Of the opalescent cOlors
seemed 20 be-
Melted in one vast Iris of the west,
Where the day joins the past eternity,
and in the soft breeze, stealing in
cense from thousands of flowers, the po-
tent rhetoric of music; stecpeth the whole
being in Il wave of exquisite rapture
soothing the sting of wounds that never
heal and siIcncing the pangs that tempt
the spirit to rebel, quoting all unrest,
with its lotus draught. We regret that
the DR.. was too unwell to appear.
Tho residence of Mr.. S. NJ. Craig,
about four and half miles south west
from this place, was totally destroyed
by fro on Monday night the 18th. 1t is
supposed, that the house took fro from
cOOk-stOVe i'll an adjoining room,
which was not discovered until too :late
to save any of his household goods,
wearing apparel, or provisions, he
barely escaping with his family. We
rogrot this, as Sam is an energetic

tain this severe loss.
Mrs. Susan Duke died on Saturday
the 10Th; she was about seventy years of
age, and resided about four miles south
of this place; also on tho same day Mrs.
Chumley; the wife OF John Chunley, OF
consumption.
Willie, aged seven years, the son OF
Mr.. S. III. Irvine, resident of this
place, fell from Il wagon last week, and
broke one bono of his right arm. DR..
j. Ii. Williams was called to his aSsis-
tanCe and the broken arm was sODU
skillfuIIy adjusted.
We had the pleasure OF mnPtinE our
young friend J. ID. Regeuald a few days |
since, who is out o9I visit to his rela |
tiyes, also III the interest OF Pigue, Ma |
nier q Hall, wholesale dealers, III Boots |
and Shoes, Nashville Tenn. Johnnie |
has fine business capacity, and Will no |
doubt, mako name i'll the commercial |
world.
The agents authorized to purchase a
lot upon which to erect the EpiscO-
pal church, succeeded in procuring =
handsome site a few days since, from
Or. w. q. J. Hunter, and work will
soon begin i'll its erection. a concert
and dramatic entertainment will be
yYen soon, for tho benefit Ofthis laud-
able enterprise, and wo feel confident
hat the citizens OF this vicinity will
ustain their linerality, by patronizing
t largely.
We arc tho recipient of beautiful
md chasto boquet of spotloss white,
which is an emblem OF the brilliant
Ionor'S purity. AS il is an offering to
}1cchus, we are resolved, after this to
all back on coffee or lemonade, and our
dvice to all young men is, not to fall
nto the fatal error Of Sir Lucius O'DOwd
nd destroy their happiness, lose their
and thCir lives, by COnfu-
ion of drink. Hereafter when we take
ur Glossary and tell our Beads" we {
ill pause with grateful memory over r
ne, who is sweet with the fragrance of I
Duthern flowers. q

In regard to |. X. Thomson, we have J
My to say, that at the time tho article
as written, in regard to who he was =
the time he was first arrested, an in "
,nse feeling of indignation stirred the Il
carts of all the good people of this Il
aighborh0Od, as the murder of Mr.. 4
lcksOn, was the most cruel thing that "
yer occurred in our country. The n
Ordor Rutiiaps in the Territory and :,
ate of Kansas can find no parallel, to
lis horrible crime. We have no dispo-
ton to do Injustice or create prejudice IL
,ainst him, and hope ifhe is innocent, ?
AT he Will be h0norably acquitted, u
I'd return to bis family, as they are in p
'stituto circumstances. Although | b
@ Press generally applauds our citi- Il
us for theirtOrbearanCe, without being
@ least blood thirsty, we confess, We | y
Guild not wink or shiveT, if tho au- ~
or of this foul deed lay before us, a ~
ctim to his own brutal crime. 1t &

We think there is too much prurienCy m
