paper, and, therefore, comes in con
tact with SO many varied expressions
of opinion, some Of which are full Of
vituperation and rapcor, and, yet,
always manages to maintain an equi-
ibrium of temper, and, at the same
time, deal impartially with all, shows
him to be man not only Of very
superior judgement. but, as well, a
man of great amiableness Of clarac-
ter. While we might well covet your
abilities and placidness of disposition.

The Rev. MIR. Tharp filed his reg
ular appointment at the Babtist
church on Saturday and Sunday last
The audience on Sunday was large
and attentive. Mr.. Tharp preached a
very forcible and interesting sermon
of an hours length, which
h ED lis congregation spell
bound, as it were, for tie
time. In fact the order was good,
the singing better, and the sermon
best; and all things being considered
we feel better for having gone to
preaching on Sunday to the Baptist
church.
