A Singular Story.


Here is story, every word of which
is true, which is about as strange as
anything ever evolved from fiction. In
Pennsylvania town the proprietor of
store received an invoice of goods so
valuable that he departed from his usual
custom and placed guard in his storage
room. The young man on duty was q
novice, and it is probable he had never
handled pistol. The darkness of the
room was a sure preventive of sleeping,
and, for want of something better to do,
the watchman concluded to test his pistol.
So he raised it and fred it at random, the
thick walls of the house preventing the
sound being heard any great distance.
The rest of the night was passed in a
desultory manner, but when daylight
streaked the sky the guard was startled
by q knocking on the door by the early
risers in the village. He took down the
bars and pushed back the bolts, and saw
the villagers surrounding the body of a
man. A barrel covered by board stood
in front of the door, and the glass in the
transom was pierced by bullet which
entered the mau's forehead. 1t was
therefore conclusive that the man had
been standing on the barrel and peering
into the room. The dead man was re-
cognized rs one whose life had been
checkered, and who was regarded as a
notorious thief, aud the random shot

that the events of the night are still fresh

The following pen picture of one of
South Carolina's most distinguished
citizens is taken from the editorial col

Oglethorpe University, in Midway, near
Milledgeville, Ga, in 1s53-54. He vas
a young man then just starting out in
life, and gave token of the fibre he has
since shown. He was tall, slender,
clerical looking, dressed in regulation
black, with slender limbs and large feet,
walking with swinging gait, and going
along as poiseless and unasscryative as
possible. He had quiet way about him
full of force. He, while always gentle.

a close and industrious student, methodi.

A Novel Scene in a Church.

There were few preachers in the early
days of Indiana, better known than
Samuel Hamilton. He was the first pre-
siding elder of the indianapolis district.
He was the contemporary Of Strange,
Bigelow, Wiley and other great names
among the pioneers of the church. At
one time his circuit embraced 8 good
part of Southern Indiana and Central
Kentucky. At one of these appoint
ments in Kentucky, he had among his
regular hearers an aristocratic member
of the chivalry of the State, who carried
the title of Colonel" One Sunday the
Colonel took his seat in the sanctuary,
having by his side one of his neighbors,
who was given to indulging pretty freely
in Kentucky's favorite beverage. On
this particular Sunday he had taken just
enough to make himself troublesome.
The preacher was holding forth on the
sins of the day, and finally mentioned
horse racing as one of them. The Col.
ouel was lover of the turf, and as the
divine struck at the sin, the neighbor
nudged the Colonel and remarked, in q
voice audible all over the church: "Col-
onel, he means you" Profane swearing
was next touched upon, and again the
Colonel was nudged, with the remark:
Colonel, he means you" So it went
on as sin after sin was mentioned until
the audience was almost convulsed with
laughter. Finally a small dog entered
at theope door and trotted down the
aisle until it. reached the front of the
pulpit, when it set up furious barking
at the minister. The Colonel's tipsy
neighbor, with the utmost gravity, arose
and walked steadily down the aisle to
where the dog was. barking. Selling the
animalSby the neck, he heldlhim up be-.
fore the congregation moment, and
| then, shaking him furiously, he broke
out with, 'Tree preacher, will you, you
ill-bred pup" This was too much for
Mr.. Hamilton. He could restrain his
laughter no longer and he took his seat,
not being able to dismiss his congrega-

Mr.. EDITOR Please allow word
from one of the "bogs." We never
heard the word used before in the sense
in which. It was used in the "Teachers

as We are young in the cause, and timid

Remember, also, that it is the nature of
bogs and sponges to absorb.
We do heartily thank you, however,
for 80 plainly showing us our fault, and
ask you to give US an encouraging word
occasionally, thus helping us to overcome
this exclusively absorbing nature.
Just here let me embrace the opportu.

In his "Aids to Teachers" We wish
every parent in the County could read
his article of last week, and recognize
the fact that the education of his chill.

to him, and thus stimulate him to Co.
operate with the Teacher, not only by
sending his children regularly to school,

making it neat and comfortable, and
purchasing the necessary books, states,
&c., for the use of his children. Many
times parents, through carelessness,
allow the children to go for weeks with.

books. The consequence is that the
child loses his opportunity for advancing,
aud, thinking that it is not of much
consequence whether he learns or not,
he becomes careless and ind ferent.
How much better work the eacher
could do with the hearty co.ope Ation of
the parent!

"A correspondent Of the Newi York

~ CUAGVopou0OAu VI enO 4NOWU LoAA
Sun writes an account of the starting Of
a hugo rock into the Cheat river, West
Virginia. The rock was found by meas.
urement to be 64S,0 900 pounds, and stood
near the top of mountain that sloped
steeply 1900 feet to the brink of cliff
from which there was fall of $50 feet to
the river. A party Of country people
dug away the earth from the foot of the
stone and started it with powerful levers.
It descended, says the correspondent,
CHOW slow, now faster, now a crash, and
tLen crashes upon crashes. The sceEe
presented by tina, rock tearing and thun-
deriug down the mountain can be imag.
Ined, but it cannot be described. 1t had
q tendency to CO. uud the sense and
bewilder the reason. Great trees were
torn from the earth aud hurled into the
air like twigs in whirl-wind, and the
trunks of mammoth oaks were torn ard
shivered in quick succession. On and on
it went, making a clean cut road from
the start. The mountain trembled and
the spectators stood spell bound. The
rock gained in speed rs it neared the
river, which was in view at the lower end
of the great limestone walls. 1t now
struck the last precipice, and, after going
outward and downward for more than two
hundred feet, it fell into the river with 9
roaring sound" The strangest part Of
the story is that the rock crashed through
the Limestone ebed of the river into q
subterranean passage and that great
whirlpool has now formed where it fell
into which saw logs and everything else
floating on the surface are sucked never
