the son of the late William Holland

here some twenty-five years ago from
Pennsylvania and served as principal
OF the Moravian seminary in this
place for Il number OF years. After
his retirement from this position he
continued to make his home in this
! place. He was one of the most promi-
nentsand influential miSiSterS in the

and esteemed by his brethren in and
out Of the church fer his many kindly
Christian qualities and traits, for his
learning and erudition, and for his de-

NATIONAL PARK.
North Carolina the Only Locality to be
Considered.

In discussing the question the
Richmond Dispatch, warm advo-
cate of the scheme of a national park
in the East, seems to dismiss Vir-
ginia from the rank of competitor,
partly because the Blue Ridge in that
State, the more eastern of the par
allel ranges, has been long settled,
the mountains lower than in North
Carolina, their bases narrower; and
continued long occupation has much
subdued their natural wildness and
picturesqueness. The western. the
higher ahd the roueher range, is SO
rich in mineral wealth, coal, iron,
gypsum, salt, etc, that private own
ership would never be free from IN
lawful invasion and violation of such
rules and regulations as would be
needed to preserve the integrity OF
what would become, by purchase,
national domain. Therefore, no
locality remains to be considered
except North Carolina, and the con-
tiguous territory of East Tennessee,
in which nature still asserts her
reign, and when she can invite safely
to the preservation of her natural
features to the extent required.
