tNtI WI tnt ditIi W kiatiis 'ht nV'fit
thirst for news, had in hand a number Of
Extras containing an account Of the cap
ture Of Mr. Grove Kennedy, near Lancas-
ter on Saturday morning. These bulletins
were issued promptly upon receiving the
telegram Of the arrest, and the theme was
on every body's tongue. When the pris-
oner was brought into Lancaster the natu-
raj excitement consequent upon such an
event was manifested. Notwithstanding
the justice Of the proceeding there was
many a looker-on who felt sympathy for
the strong man hunted down in his domes-
tic haunts and degraded as a criminal be-
fore the populace. "Sickly sentimental
ISM" some will say; yet pity is divine
spark that goes out to suffering humanity,
no matter by whose agency the suffering
comes. II is said that Mr.. Kennedy fully
intended to deliver himself up to the au-
thorities in few days. Also, that lie re-
quested permission to remain in Jail here
till Monday, so that he might see his fami
~, alleging that no attempt would he
. made to rescue him. This was refused
and he was conveyed at once to Louisville.
The particulars of the capture and subse'
quent proceedings have been too infinitely
reported in the daily journals for repeti'
ton here. 1t ia a question il any thing
short q! the extreme penalty Of the law
possesses greater terrors for the mind than
the hourly torture of the outlaws life, cut
off from social or commercial intercourse
with his kind, and bearing about with him
burden heavier than Atlas ever knew.
While in Stanford We enjoyed the hospi-
tality Of Mrs. +. H. Burnside in her love
ly cottage home where the strong ties OF
family affection make everlasting sunshine.
We also heard Of the triumph Of young
Webster in his maiden speech.
On Sunday morning in the crowded
Court room We heard the devoted, earnest
magnetic Barnes and felt only as his match
less eloquence can make us feel. There is
state Of mind called gospel-hardened
into which Christians fall. The continual
hearing Of the word loses effect; the read
ing of the inspired revelation pals
upon the understanding; the old, old sto-
~ grows tame in the telling. Let all who
have glided into this sort Of apathy lister
to the eloquence which We term matchles'
by reason of its extreme simplicity; of il
reaching down into the depths of the hear
and stirring the perchance long-disuseC
6bres into responsive vibrations. Whether
il be the jealous piety Of the preacher OF
the winning power Of the orator it is Ger
tainly true that magnetic influence radi
ates from this man and enchains the un
preudiced listener till time makes no i'm
press save to tarry as il bound. We shall
attempt no analysis Of Mr.. Barnes style oil
theology in community where he ha
preached so long. Our tidings shall go Il
another field where he hopes to labor; oul
message shall be of the good time coming
