HEARD FROM.

The following clipping is taken from a
Maine paper and refers to Pr. Saul, well
known CHARACTER who for Come time dis
pensed medicine at the southeast corner Of
Market and Douglas:
One of the brightest and most earnest of
the students at the Baptist Theological
seminary at Louisville was formerly what
is known as a street fakir." He finds
that his experience in lauding the virtues
of patent medicines before street crowds
has been of great help in developing his
oratorical powers for the pulpit.
