of him, like his appearance very well.
1t Is stated by some friend of Mr.. Tur-
ner, that he (Turner) said he, In argu-
ment with +. ID. Lacy, very soon made
1t hot for Lacy. learn from very
reliable source that Mr.. f. ID. l.. has
never had word of controversy with
Mr.. Turner; and 1t is hinted that their
sentiments are 50 nearly i'm unison, that
there is but very little chance for ar
gument. How that may be, / will not
positively say; but certainly there seems
to be the very best of friendship exist
ing between Mr.. Turner and Mr.. Lacy.
The Williams mill seems to bc ut a
stand still for short time. The pros
pect is favorable for its starting upsoon,
when it will probably run steady, night
and day.
We were disappointed, last week, in
Mrs. Morse's lecturing to us, on Thurs
day night. Ill health is the cause of
her not coming. We expect her, this
week, to favor US with another dis
course.
The Free Thinkers of this place, l
learn, have quite an organization.
Some of the members of this associa-
ton are said to be persons of good in
tellectual abilities. The following is
a copy of their organization sheet:

Mr.. demonstrating in your vol
liable paper, but short time ago, about
having no cabinet manufacturing es-
tablishment in our county, j take this
opportunity to say that we have one
In full operation ut this place; and beg
leave to say-all those i'm need of tables,
cupboards, &C., &C., will please send i'm
orders, and they will receive prompt
attention. AS the material is cheap
and labor, also; not having rent topay,
the firm will not be undersold.
Beecher and Tilton scandal couldn't
wad gun in comparison to the scan
dial we are having now, in this city.
1t has laid its foul claws on one Of our
most respected young ladies. Law,
and nothing but law, will prove satis-
factory. The father of the much in
jured lady is on the war path, and will
push 1t to the bitter end. The trial will
come off at the next term of court.
The piece in your last paper, entitled
"Religious Creeds," by s. q. Randall,
is plain and straightforward, and point
ed right to the mark. Truth fitly spok-
en- is like apples of gold in pictures of
silver. How few there are who, like
Mr.. II. dare to come out and tell the
world their honest convictions i'm re-
gard to religious belief. The clergy will
not give up their priestcraft and dog
mas as long as they are upheld by their
denominations. If l understand it
rightly, God Is God ofreason. Well,
now, If that be the case-and we read
that he will not he mocked-out Of so
many hundreds of different creeds or
doctrines, which foundation shall 1
build upon? Which is the true faith?
Are they all wrong, or all right? You
may tell me to make my own choice;
they all point to one God. Very well!
Let me ask, do they believe I'm any one
point of doctrine Have they not per-
secuted each other even unto strange
f,...t ot.
A house divided against itself cannot
staud. Therefore, will only ask this
question: If we do not use our reason
ing faculties, how are we better than
the brute creation?
We have net quite forgotten the great
blaze in the city of Chicago, and what
on excitement IL created all over the
world. And we have all heard of the
stery of Mrs. O'Leary's COW that kicked
over the lantern and caused the great
disaster. They do say history repeats
itself. certainly seems to be the case
I'm this instance; with the fire left out.
We will introduce the subject by sing

A young man went courting one evening I'm
He walked all alone, by the ligh, OF the moon;
And ne felt, around his heart, most wonderful

The way 1t all happened was this:
George was ever to see his sweetheart;
and az the old gentleman had stepped
around the corner to seea man, 1t left
his future son-in-law to draw the lacteal
fluid from the domestic animal, called
by the vulgar, COW. Taking up pro-
per position for operation, he opened
up the business by remarking-"So!
bossy!, The COW, thinking a moder-
ately sized straw stack was about to fall
on her devoted head, judging from the
size Of his kat, thought self-protection
was natures first law; gave one stupen-
