Before we close we will say word about the city
ITSELF 1t surprises every one that city should be
located or could possibly grow on such situation
1t is impossible to bring railroads to it or through
it without tunnels. 1t is impossible to see more
than section of the place at one view. And yet
it has grown rapidly for several years. and there is
every prospect that it will continue to grow. Nor
is the growth of worthless or inferior kind. Many
private residences of great beauty, and business
houses of the most substantial character have been
erected recently in different parts of the city, The
last improvement Of note, and one that the public
will appreciate, is the thorough renovation of the
Norva House. This home of the stranger and
favorite with visitors of the city has been recently
fitted up anew at great cost by the proprietors, and
is first class hotel in all respects. 1t has forty
lodging rooms heated by fire places sixty rooms
in ALL The halls and public rooms are heated by
radiators The whole house il overlsid with the
finest carpeting, aud every room supplied with new
furniture. 1t is fine refuge for summer visitors
to the mountain region.

FOR THE CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN.
Notes from Lynchburg.

On the evening of the 18th inst, Rev. j. M.
Rawlings was installed pastor of the Second Pres
byterian church of this city, by committee Of
Montgomery PreSbytery. Rev. D. W. Shanks
preached the sermon and proposed the questions
Rev. Daniel Bain delivered the charge to the peo-
pie, and Rev. W. T. Hall, the charge to the pastor.
This church was organized the 10Th day of May,
1880, with twenty-four members and six ruling ell
ders. The first place Of worship was Masonic Hall
After few months the services were held in store
on Main Street, near Eleventh. After two years
the church occupied the frame building which had
been erected as sanctuary, near the upper end Of
Main Street In 1852 the present elegant sanctuary
at the corner of Church and Ninth streets was fin.
isbed. The following ministers have served the
church either as pastor or stated supplies-Daniel
T., Russell, Jacob D. Mitchell, D. D., John l.
Kirkpatrick, D. D., Stephen Taylor, E. H. Cump-
stop. E. j. Newlin, and I. W. Hooper, D. D. The
nresent membership is about two hundred and
twenty. This statement shows that the church
has undergone many changes during the forty seven
wears of its existence, but it has continued to ad.
vance until it is now vigorous body. The new
pastor is cordially received and has before him a
fine field Of labor.
There is also an item of interest from the First
church. Rev. A. II. Price, who has supplied,
dnriug the last eighteen months, the two chapels
crested by this church, was appointed by Mont
gOmery Praabytery Of its recent sessions in Liberty
to labor as au evangelist IN che mountain countless

A most marked improvement in lesson helps is
exhibited in The National Sunday School Teacher

of whatever character into the exposition Of the
lessons, the different kinds are methodioaly ar
ranged and treated az length under the different

Of the lessons free to deal with their spiritual

Contributions BY Childrsn.-Most Of the children,
even in the infant class, take pride in contributing
their penny. But how do they usually get 1t ,
"Giye me a penny for Sunday School, papa ?"
says the little one, as he is ready Co start. The
penny is, of course forthcoming, but it represents
to the child no equivalent for labor or trouble, and
hence, the giving Of it is not an education in self
denying hberality. Suppose, however. the little
one is taught to anticipate the collection before
hand, and to provide for it out Of his own pocket
money, perhaps By diminishing to that extent the
amount of candy purchased. Then he receives
lesson in the grace Of giving which be may put
in practice when he has to bear his share Of the
burdens in 81 the church Of the future

Reference Bibls.-DoHbtless many a child has
wondered what that miXed.up column of figures
and things on the margin Of ny Bible Is good for,
anyhow" Nor is the wonder confined to the little
folks. A WelEdressed lady, the mother Of grown
up children, was heard to ask in large book store,
'What did my son mean when he wanted a refer
euoe Bible? How does it differ from any other
Bible ' Put the question to each Of your sohol

not their Bibles have references. Five minutes
explanation may relieve a perplexity which other
wise might exist unsupported for years.

JouN FoRsyTH, the able and well known
editor Of ,he Mobile Register, died on Wed
uesday of hast week, aged sixty six yoars.
lie Was son Of The distinguished john
Forsyth, of Georgia, who was leading
member of the Senate Of the EUitCd States
when General Jackson was President, aud
afterwards filed the office OF Secretary of
State under Martin Van Buren. His son,
of whom we speak, was man CT rcmarka-
tle ability, and h:s name has for whole
generation been familiar 10 the country.
The Register was regarded rs tie reading
DemocIatic Journal of the South, and ex-
ercisod a vast aud controlling power over
public opinion. Mr.. Forsyth was firm and
unyeiding in his political opinions, but in
adv oeatiug them never forfeited his rcpu~
tation as a true gentleman. He was Min
ister to Mexico under Mr.. Buchanan. It.
will be difficult to fill the editorial chair
made vacant by the death of 50 brilliant
writer and so honest a politician as john
Forsyth.

An Act Of Assembly passed in 1871 di-
rectcd that 5000 copies of Smull's Leeis-
lative Hand Book should be published an
Rwaliy for distribution among the members
ofthe Senate and House of Representatives,
as follows: One thousand to the Senate
and two thousand To the House. We will
not now discuss the question whether or
not such an act should ever have been
passed at all. A. every session, however,
since its enactment, the Legislature, not
satisfied With the large number Of 5000
copies furnished to its members without
money and without price, has authorized
the printing of 1900 additional copies of
The same book, to be also distributed among
the members, thus cntailing on the treasury
the cost of publishing at each session 5000
copies i'll all The printing and donating
to the members of these 1000 additi0naI
copies has been a gross outrage and does
not admit of the least palliation or excuse
One would suppose that with 5000 copies
at each session this thirst for Hand Books
would be assuaged and that the appetite of
members would cease to grow upon what
it fed. But the last Legislature eclipsed all
it's predecessors by authorizing the printing
of SIR thousand additional copies, t,co thous-
and foI the Senate and four thousand for
the House, thus making nine thousand
copies for distribution at one session. All
this supplemental legislation is clear vio-
lation Of the letter as well as spirit Of the
original act, and a shameless robbery Of the
( public treasury. The Legislature has no
more legal OF moral right to use the public
money to print and supply is members
with this or any other book than to furnish
each of hem with a new hat or a new pain
( of boots, and especially has it no right to
vote these additional numbers of the Hand
/ Book at its own sweet will and pleasure
But such is the style of Pennsylvania leg u.s.
lation, and the taxpayers submit without a
murmur thus justilying tie presumption
that the more they ale plumdered the bet
ter they like it,

J. J. WRIGHT, a colored lawyer, former
ly resided in lluuesdaIe, Susquehanna
county, in this State. Soon after the close
of the rebellion and about the same slime
that John J. Pat tcrson carpet -baggC d from
the Juniata valley to South Carolina in
search OF fresh fields and pastures new"
Wright also pitched his tent in the Palmet-
to-State. While Pattersou's CHEF object
was plnuder and the putting of money in
his purse by any means whatever, Wright
was intent on achieving high judicial posi-
tion ON very small capital During the
memorable days of reconstruction in the
Southern States, and while the political
cauldron was boiling, the scum was sure to
come to the surface. In very few years
motley Legislature Of South Carolina
elected Wright to the high aud honorable
office Of Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court. During the last few months some
of Wright's official as well as unofficial
acts have caused his colored brethren to
doubt his judicial purity and to think that
it was not above suspicion. The Legisla-
ture of the State being now in session, Mr..
VI iupui, Coioitu hepubIlcan member OF
the House. has introduced resolution for
the appointment of a committee of five ito
make full examination Of all matters per-
tanning to the proper discharge of the Of
fetal conduct of J. j. Wright, Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court" The res
olution was adopted 10y vote of 76 to 13,
most of the colored members voting for it,
Our only purpose i'll referring 20 this matter
now is that iuasmuch las Wright is col
cred man aud Judge of the highest Court
in the State of which Wade Hampton is
Governor. if he should be impeached and
removed from Office Republican sympathy
for him cannot charge his judicial downfall
