THE GOOD OLD TIMES.

One OF the customs oiour fathers which
1t is to bc hoped, has never passed away,
was the habit OF going 10 sleep during
church service. They were Puritans aud
strict religionsis; but they woud snoc ze
and nod in church, and various aud siu-

minister and the deaeons to keep them
wide awake Here is an account OF

THE SENSATIONAL PREACHER

lie is apt TO think more Of saying q

communicating the truth. In this way be
uses extravagant epithets, gives exagger'
ated descriptions, aud msgniAes or dis
torts features for the sake OF effect. Even
so noble a man as Thomas Guthrie once
said, in regard 10 the preparation, IL Is
like the drop scene in theatre, and You
must lay on the color thick. But, With
all Difference to such an authority, thai
advice is exceedingly perniclous. For be
who consciously exaggerates does at the
same time blunt the edge OF bis con-
science. Every time BIS deviates from or
adds to the real state oftAe case he makes
himself worse man. Truth Is the girdle
of character, and be who loosens that is
on the way to lcoseness in other depart
ments of morality. He 10 on an inclined
plane, and may some day produce the

fiasco. For the temptation is to go on.
His hearers become accustomed to the
dose, the appetite grow by what 1t feeds
on, and, in order to have the effect be at
first produced, they crave for something
stronger. lie seeks TO meet that new de-
mand lust az he sought to meet the first,
aud so Il increases until the flippant has
become the irreyereni, and the irreverenl
has become the profane, and the prolane
becomes the impure; or upti tbe odd has

For several days past the opinion has been gaining
ground in this city, well as at Owenton. that the
jury in the Buford murder would not disagree.
To-day the court room was of course, crowded in
anticipation OF verdict. When the jury went out
the crowd dispersed to get little fresh air. but after
while it became necessary for the jury to return to
the court room, aud the crowd of morbid horror
hunters rushed in again. Buford scarcely aroused
himself until the jury came in the second
time with a verdict He then emerged from
his passive appearance into mood akin
to anxiety But this only Momentary.

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.
ATLANTA. Ga, July %. 1870.
Further details from the Grasty Reed shooting
ARRAY in Opelika show that Grasty had received a
note from Miss Reed the evening of the shooting
telling him that her father and brother going
to attack him. and begging him as soon as he could
cat his supper 60 to his room and remain there.
She closed her note by begging him to Have
fuss with father or SAM" He had this note in his
hand when the father entered the room. He had
no pistol OF his own. but carried old pistol
belonging to his landlady to his room,
ostensby for the purpose Of cleaning 1t. The whole
affair is still enveloped in mystery. There is
doubt that tho Reeds very much enraged
against Grasty, and that there had been general
talk about Grasty's intimacy with Miss Reed. These
reports assumed ugly shape during Miss Reeds resi-
dence in Atlanta but the courage Of the Reeds being
we'll known, IL is believed that Grasty satisfied
them that there truth in the rumors.
The ARRAY in Opelika revives all these rumors.

assault that tho Reeds would have armed themselves

valued ut $117.739 1t is claimed that portion of
the emigrants go to Manitoba
