ting to DIR. Deems end his location:
WHEREAS, DR.. Deems, who has been
fer thirty-fo years a m amber of the
North Carolina Conference (be.ieviug
it to be his duty, has asked for, and
has been granted, a location; and
whereas, he has been eminentIy useful
and successful during his connection
with our Conference in his ardent
work as a competent instructor in our
institutions of learning, and in weld
ing his vast influence over the public
mind to promote the cause of Christ,
therefore
ResolUed, That we can but deplore
the act that sewers him from us; but
as in the providence of God his lot is
cast in field of labor where we be-
lieve his brilliant talents and active
energy will accomplish grander re-
suits for the good of souls, we ac-
quieSce in his decision.
Reso1Ued. That we duly appreciate

conc RESSEONAL LAWYERS

a bin has been introduced Ill the
House OF Representatives to prohibit
a member of Congress from acting as
counsel or agent for any person who
may be proceeded against for a viola
tion of the revenue laws, or who may
haye any claim against the govern
ment for drawbacks or reclamations Of
duties or taxes. No senator or repre-
sentative, we'll says the New Yor i.
Evering Post, ought to need any
statutory reminder of the indelicacy
of pei forming such service; but az
members of Congress have before now
manifested superiority to any such
refinement of sensibility, the bill pro-
vides that for its violation they shall
be punished by a fine not exceeding
$4,000 and Imprisonment not exceed
ing ten years. The remainder of the
bill. authorizing the recovery of fees
paid for such services, proceeds upon
tie assumption that Congressional

a Rear IN lhe LaaIea' Cabin.

While passing through 0uisseau
Lake a large bear was swimming
across the lake, and as every one
seemed anxious to see a chase, Capt.
Daggan stopped the boat and sent
a crew after his bealship. The men
soon overlook bruin, and quickly
captured him by throwing a moose
around his neck. They then towed
him back to the steamer, and hoist
ed him on board. He had no sooner,
however, got himself fairly planted
on deck than he managed to get
free, and as the crew and passen-
gers we're all standing around there
was Immediately some tall scramb-
ling. The bear first made for the
ladies' cabin, where he was given
free and u~ndisputed possession, the
fair occupants evidently just then
thinking they were wanted some
where else most urgently.
The engineer, DUNCAN, pluckily
followed bruin to the cabin, from
which, on being cornered up, he
jumped through one of the windows
on. to the deck. Here Mr.. DUNCAN
again assailed him with an oar, the
only available weapon at hand, en-
deavoring to make him again take
to the water. Bruin, however,
seemed to have had enough of the
water, for after getting upon the
railing he refused to go any further,
although repeatedly struck with
the oar, and continued to hang on
the railing, with his body hanging
over the water, till one Of the pas.
sengers who brought along a rifle
shot him. The bear was a pretty
large fellow-he would weigh about
200 pounds-and was in excellent
condition.

Enemies Or tne RntlIesnake.

Christian Advocated
The rattlesnake finds a superior
in the deer and blacksnake. When
ever a buck discovers a rattlesnake
in a situation which invites attack
he loses no time in preparing for
battle. He makes up within ten
or twelve feet of the snake, then
leaps forward and aims to sever the
body Of the snake with his sharp,
bifurcated hoofs. The first onset
is most commonly successful, but
if otherwise the buck repeats the
trial until he cuts the snake in
twane. The blacksnake only is
more than an equal competitor
against the rattlesnake. Such is
the celebrity, both in running and
entwining itself around its victim,
that the rattlesnake has no way of
escaping from its fatal embrace.
When the black and rattlesnake
are about to meet for battle the
former darts forward at the hight
of his speed and strikes at the back
of the neck of the latter with I'M
erring certainty, leaving a foot or
two of the upper part Of the body
at liberty. In an instant he encir-
Giles him within five or six folds
he then stops and looks the stran-
gled foe in the face to ascertain the
effect produced upon his corseted
body. If he shows signs of life the
coils are multiplied and the screva
frightened, the operator all the while
watching the countcnance of the
victim. Thus the two remain for
thirty or forty minutes; the execu-
toner then slackens one coil, no.
ticing at the same time whether
any signs of life appear; if so the
coil is resumed and retained until
the incarcerated wretch is COM
pletely dead. The moccasin snake
is killed in the same way.

A neighbor found a slip of paper

sonages and events by noting an
abstract for the purpose of memoir
