Married, on Wednesday evening at
Mrs. Margaret Mccormack, Miss Maggie,
daughter Of the late Jas. X. Mccormack,
and VIM. w. Doran, Of Hodgenville, Ky.
As was appropriate, after the late afllict-
ions Of the family, there were none present
except near relatives and members Of the
household Bright in their youthful beau
ty and hopefulness the we ided pair left
on Thursday for their home in Larue
county.
Sam Williams has fairly thrown up
the sponge. short time since he ven
tured 10 church and the preacher deliver.
ed a homily on the Prodigal Son. The
next Sunday he attended another church
aud the subject was the Prodigal Son. lie
changed his base again and heard for the
third time the Prodigal Son. In despera-
ton he quit going TO church and reads the
daily papers. And now the Enquirer has
bit him again with Talmage on the p. s.
Sam says he has determined TO freeze TO
his father.
BY the way, in this particular locality
we had an all absorbing novelty of our
own. The Presbytery Of Transylvania
made a descent upon us on Thursday, an
event which taxed the oft-tried memory Of
the Oldest inhabitant to recall precedent
Now in place like ours Presbytery ex-
cites almost as much interest as does the
advent Of circus or game Of base ball
in town like Stanford. We generally be-
haved pretty well, however, and had a very
pleasant experience. There was some ex-
ceedingly able preaching by Revs. Eddy,
Mcmillan, Martin and Mckee Very little
business Of general interest came before
the body. The old ecclesiastical bitterness
which seems to have been inhaled with the
sulphureous atmosphere of the late great
conflict, seems to be passing away. Politi-
clans, and especially soldiers who followed
their respective banners in the strife, have
set a glorious example in this thing; and
il is TO be hoped that even christians may
ere long discover that the Bible strongly
hints at the propriety Of harmony among
the followers Of the meek and lowly One.
Well, glad to see that the INTERIOR
JOURNAL passed through the ordeal Of
steam press without diminishing its vitali-
ty. In fact it seems to rufile its feathers
more boldly, and dress its plumes more
gaily, as il aware that il had cast of the
shell Of an imperfect existence wherein il
was "cabined, cribbed and close confined"
and emerged into a wider sphere with ex-
banded powers and nobler aspirations. Let
me shout long life to it then, as | toss my
battered beaver in the air. In its infancy,
you, Mr.. Editor, fondled the bantling with
paternal tenderness. You guided its way
ward youth with fathers solicitude, yet
with a fathers hopefulness. You doubt
less look to-day upon its maturing man
hoods strength with the full gushing Of a
fathers pride in the promise exhibited in
this lively progeny. May it long prove an
ornament to the place Of its birth, and an
honor and a comfort to its venerable pro-
genitor. BE 80 charitable. however, as TO
spare your modest correspondents. We

by the announcement made last week that
you were making a change OF programme
that the day Of old things had passed
away-that mind whose marvellous tri-
umphs had relieved poor toiling muscle OF
so many burdens must celebrate its victo.
res and add to its glory by emancipating the
perspiring brow Of the ebon Hercules from
the wearying crank in the JOURNALS press
room. We could see the propriety Of all
this; but then we couldn't write by steam.
Tyros in composition, novices in art, be-
hind this rushing age in science, we felt
that we were left like the hat Of the unwa-
ry passenger who thrusts his head from the
window Of flying train. Give us time,
we pray you, and mayhap when we shall
have become more familiar with the new
regime, and accustomed to the fiery breath
Of the engine and the dizzying rapidity of
the wheels we may be able TO collect our
thoughts and relate in homely phrase the
events of the passine hour.
