The Revised Bible.

The revised Old Testament has
thus far been more favorably received
than was the revised New Testament,
probably for the reason that there
have been no changes of the received
Hebrew text, no older manuscripts
than the Masoretic having been dis
covered, and the idiom of the author
lied version having been carefully
preserved out of regard for the con-
sentative feeling of the church in it's
attachment for the language of the
old version. The revision chiefly
has to do with errors of translation,
and it is pronounced by most compe-
tent critics to be a great improve
ment. 1t is not a good version in
place of a bad one, but rather an i'm
provement. 1t presents the results
of the combined labor of a large
number of the best Hebraists and
Biblical scholars of England and the
United States, and has the advantage
of the vast advances of the last fifty
years in Biblical geography, Oriental
~philology, Biblical history and an
tiquities, all of which were but i'm.
perfectly understood by the 81 trans
lators of the time of King James.

Intelligent Republicans did not
appreciate Judge florists remarks
last Saturday, and an ignoramus
could tell that his speech was not
what it should have been for that
particular occasion. Judge Forrist
is too indecent to make a public
Grafton anyhow.-Wellsville Demo-
cTdt.
We are reliably informed that the
above blatant remarks by the Demo-
crdt are not endorsed by either
Republicans or Democrats of Wells
VILE who heard Judge florists
speech, which, we are told, was
peculiarly appropriate for the
Observation-Disclosures Day. The edi-
tor of the Democrat did not hear the
grafton, hence did not know what he
was talking about. He acknowledge
ed as much to our informant.

Correspondence Of the Ledger.
WILSON, June 9TH, 18S5.-Oats are
looking well.
Farmers are about through plant.
ing corn IN this vicinity.
Small fruits, such as strawberries
and gooseberries, are plentiful, and
good prospects for raspberries.
Father Chrisman preached to quite
a large congregation at Salt River
church last Sabbath. There will be
preaching at the church the mex,
fourth Sunday again.
There raj a peculiar snake killed
on Mrs. Pat Vance's farm last week.
Supposed to be of the horned
species. 1t was four feet long with
q horn 2 1-2 inches in length on the
end of it's tail, which struck a hard
piece of seasoned wood, entering il
one inch.
There were camped upon the
banks Of Salt River last Wednesday
evening in a beautiful grove, some
gypsies who seemed wonderfully
gifted. A friend and myself rode uI
to the camp. My mind was troubled
for l had had a dispute with a neigh.
Dor whom l had never thought hard
Of before. and had made up my
mind to bring suit against him,
knowing well I could regain
damages. The kind lady looked me
full in the face and told me / had
acted wrong. "Let not the sun &c

LADDONIA LACONICS.
The Glorious Fourth-Speeches Being
Practiced-A Fine Old Gentleman,
Religious, &c.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
LADDoNIA, June 8.-The interest
in the "Fourth'' increases, and every
body is making some preparation for
it. Music is being arranged for the
occasion and speeches I being
practiced. 'Tis said that Messrs. W.
H. Beal and E. C. Kennen resort to
the public square of evenings to
practice speaking their o~rations; but
since the citizens have read the &C.
count of the editor of the LEDGER's
speech before the 'tPress Associa-
ton and how the trees were affected
by it, and also the affect it had on
the editors at Columbia, they 60 out
to the square and watch to see if the
trees tremble from the sound of their
voices. Should any of the trees be
shaken to death we presume the town
treasury will be increased thereby.
D. W. Hughes has been invited to
have on exhibition that grand old
eagle he spoke of last winter. Take
it altogether, it will be the grandest
Fourth ever held in Audrain coun-
ty, and those who miss it will always
regret it.
Captain Cook walked into town
Sunday morning bringing a basket
of nice flowers for the church. He
is one of the most active men, both
in body and mind, we ever met with.
He is now over eighty years of age
and has as straight and sprightly
walk as a boy of sixteen. He is a
fine conversationalist, and is better
posted on the leading topics of the
day than four-ffths of the masses.
He never used tobacco OF whisky and
has always lived a temperate life.
Rev. Travis delivered an excellent
discourse from the words "Not So"
found in the parable of the 'eTen
Virgins" He said that mankind
should have a high appreciation OF
themselves-so much so that they
would disdain to do mean, low things,
or to forsake a principle to gain pop
ularity. His next appointment is the
first Sunday night in July.
IT'S rumored that another of our
popular grocery men will cast his
future happiness in the matrimonial
state soon.
The I. O.. o. F. will give a festival
tomorrow night.
Miss Lizzie Bruton and Willie
Moore have returned home from
school at Columbia.
New buildings continue to be added
to our town and every kind of bust
ness seems prosperous.
