-"NIusic hath charms to soothe savage,
to burst up rocks or split cabbage"-so
saws the poet and 50 say we. Last Friday
night on one side Of the square was heard 4
harper harping upon his harp" and hard
bv an exile from fair Italy snatched ravish
ing music out of a superb barrel or
ran. while the north side Of the square was
cnlivcned bv harmonious strains from the
StonewalI Minstrel Troupe. From some in
scrutabIe cause the Bolivar Brass Band did
not practice that evening.
The union Sunday School picnic last
Thursday, at "Pontine," the beautiful
country seat of Paul T. Jones, Esq, was
delightful affair. The fulI-handcd and
open-hcarted hospitality of Mr.. Jones and
his excellent lady chiefly contributed to the
enjoyment of all present. the young PeO-
pie INDUCED in innocent games in the shade
of those stately oaks, and when the cloth
was spread upon the green sward all hands
were soon busy doing justice to the ample
supplies of substantials and sweets so boun-
tifully provided by the families represented.
Among other choice dishes Mrs. Jones con-
tributcd fine barbacued shoat Children
as well as old people present, unanimously
voted that "Pontine," in its host and hostess,
as well as in its shade and convenience, Is
he J,i0cc for picnics. Nothing occurred to
mar the happiness of the occasion except the
sudden sickness of the Rev. Mr.. Love-hc
having had Il severe chill that afternoon.
/ Through the care and kindness of Mr..
Jones family, he was tcndcrly cared for.
7 Last Sunday the Cumberland Presby-
/ tcrians held a special communion service,
at which Rev Il. c. McCIuskey of Browns
Vile, and Rev. Mr.. Normcnt of WhiteviEle,
were present. At the forenoon service Rev.
Mr.. McCluskey preached most appropriate
sermon on the nature and importance OF
| Christian unity. He showed that Christi
body represented by the Christian church
may have many members but still it is es-
sentialIy the same in It's spirit and purposes
lie portrayed i'll a striking manner how the
church of Christ was weakened by reason OF
internal discussion and denominational
chickering's, and cOunsclled his hearers to
love and cooperate with all Christians in
the brotherhood of Christ, and to rely upon
the purity and power of vital gOdliness
rather than upon the emptiness of CeremO,
NAL services. After the sermon the Holy
Sacrament was administered to a large mum,
Der of persons, amongst them many of other
denominations. At the evening service the
learned gentleman preached a powerful ser
mon on "Believe on the Lord Jesus and
thou shalt be saved" His remarks were es
pecially directed to the unconverted, and &
powerfully did he characterize the sinner il
his condition, in his ways and in his ex
cuses, that his discourse went home to the
hearts of many present. Three persons pre-
scented themselves, signifying that they de
sired to become followers of Christ. There
was much deep religious feeling Throughout
the large congregation. 1t was generally
regretted that the meeting was not contin,
ued through the present week We hope
Mr. NIcCIuskcy will soon make Bolivar an
other visit
