Luncnburg, March 18th 1878.
Mr.. Editor: We noticed some
thing in the last number of this paper
i'll regard to the Rev. Mr.. Balley's
lecture i'll this town, the subject being
play Houses and Theatres" 1t was
spoken Of rs being exhaustive, l0gi-
cal and rcplete." We admit that it
was echdHStiUe, inasmuch as it ex-
hausted all the good nature prevailing
at the commencement Of the lecture.
In place Of logjcdL, we would sub>t-
tutc radical. That it was reptete We
do not deny, as Mr.. Bailey's objec,
seemed to be to please his brother
preacher, and give the people of Lu-
nenburg such Il raking as they never
took before. Now there are feaU
people i'll Lunenburg who consider
themselves respectable, even after
witnessing Fen Nights in Bar Room
as presented by the Escape goats" Of
said town, and these people do not at
NIL relish the idea Of being placed on
par with the rake5 OF all the cities
in the Union, simply on account of
having witnessed said play, neither do
the Boys and GirlS-boys and girls
who ale as innocent as,--as-well,
your humble servant for instance.
Neither do they care to be classed
with the very scum of theatrical per-
formers, and told that they lack only
facilities, and ability to perform, not
lacking aspirations O. becoming rs
noted, or as lewd as any troupe in the
land; or words to that effect. / be-
lievc Mr. Bailey Jumped them to us,
that is, he gave Us to understand that
there was no distinction to be made
between simple drama, presented in
II Church vestry," and the plays we
get i'll our first, second and third class
theatres, and so on down TO the low
est suppose. The speaker remarked
that ii any one went ont of the Hall
during the st0tO, That he should take
it for granted, that they were hit.
Well now, | honestly boGeve that il
every one had gone out that he jabed
at, that, at the end Of ten minutes
there would not have been mothers
son in the Hall HoWeyer only one
little girl went out during the lecture,
and Mr.. Bailey thought then he had
made hard Lit, sure. / am request
ed iu~behalf Of the above mentioned
escape goats" to express their most
in-sinceIe thanks to those friends who
have put themselves to SO much trou.
bic that the folly anu wickedncss OF

+, WONDERFUL FREAK OF NATURE.
A Negro who has Been Turning White
for Thirty Years.

Several thousand years ago, when
The world was in its Graded infancy, a
gentleman named Jeremiah, who was
celebrated throughout Israel as d pro-
phet, asked this question one day IN
the midst OF his talk "Can the Ethio-
plan change his skin" We confess
that we don't know why he asked this
question, but ii is question which re-
NAMED unanswered throughout the
ccaseless ages until at last the nineteenth
century, with all its wonderful achieve
ments, comes to the front with solu-
ZION to- the enquiry, and we are happy
10 inform Jerry that it can be done and
had he been with q Press reporter last
Saturdayhe would have no doubt, been
satisfied Of the truth Of this statement.
On that day a reporter Of the Press met
Mr.. George Scott, who lives on IL farm
near PayncsyilIc, in this county. Ills
peculiar appearance attracted the re-
porter's attention, the popularity being
u half-white and halfblack face. In
response to enquiries, he stated that he
was lightweight years old and had o
wife and ID children.
during slavery tinle TIC WAS Tic pro-
perty Of John Carter, Of this county.
Thirty years ago the skin around his
mouth and On portions Of his body com
mcnced to turn white, and since chat
time slowly and gradually the dusky
hue Of his person has been changing
into the fair tint Of the Anglo-Saxon
race, until now with tho exception Of
the upper part Of his face and few
spots On his body he is entirely white.
lie stated that his black skin did not
peel Of, but gradually changed its hue.
lie came from Albermarlc county, W.,
when youth, and with the exception
Of nn attack Of smallpox he has never
boon sick III his life. And herein il an
other remarkable feature Of the case,
for tho pits which were left on his black
skin by the ravages Of that disease have
disappeared wherever that skin has be
come white. Altogether he is u Won
derful specimen Of natures freaks, and
should he livea few years longer there
will DO nothing black about him except
the whites Of his eyes.

Among the New Workers who fought
in the Mexican war was celebrated
musician named Boyd, whose skill with
when time hung heavy III camp OF the
spirits Of the boysdropped After the
capture Of the capital, Boyd met Mex
lean officer who told him Of All old
highly-prizcd violin, the property Of an
other officer. He hunted out the owner,
and found that the instrument was II
genuine Crcmona. Every grain bore
nnmislakable evidences Of age, and
Boyd determined to secure il and carry
ii home rs Il trophy. All offers Of bar
ter were Indignantly refused by the
to obtain by foul means what he could
not by fur. lie carried the instrument
home and used it for several years; but
its history was kept secret until i'll time
Of adversely he was compelled to part
with it. II went into the possession Of
4 Mr.. Barnes, who paid $500 for it. 1t
descended to his son, Dir. II. A. Barnes,
Of Richmond, who is n musician of some
note. During its travels II had been
shattered to fragments, and was no lon
ger Of amy practical yalue. Mr., A. b.
Clark, yirtuoso Of much experience,
saw il on exhibition, and exchanged for
il fine instrument OF his own make.
by three months labor he has restored
il to its original shape and tone. The
back and neck nre new, but the frame
and topwcre made by Nicholas Ammati
in 1857. The wood from which the
neck and back were made was cut in
Pennsylvania fifty years ago, and RATED
down the Ohio RIVER to Cincinnati, from
whence it was carried across to Dayton,
where ii was slowed away in u cabinet
makers loft, to remain until IL year or
two since, when Mr.. Clark found and
purchased it. The violin is one Of the
small Ammatis, and is remarkable for
the very large arch and deep belly.
The tone is soft aud sweet, but very
powerful, growing louder Us the listener
recedes, until he is beyond II point
where IN ordinary instrument would be
inaudible Mr.. Clark prizes il highly,
and it would require small fortune 70
induce him to part with it.
