We would say something about the
peach prospect, but have read so much in
the eastern papers relative 10 the peach
l,crop liar, that we will remain quiet, yes,
strictly silent on that subject.
Many thanks for your kindly express
sions of praise We regret Lot that
our ability to be interesting and amusing
is not better developed, because VIC are
of opinion that the pen is mightier than
the sword
We regret to announce the death of
Mr.. George Blakeney, an elderly gentle
man of this city; he is one of the old
landmarks of Strinesyille, and good,
quiet, peaceable citizen. His illness was
OF short duration, continuing only three
days, although he had been slightly af-
fiicted for several months past, but not
confined to his house The cause of
death, we learn, was pneumonia. He
leaves widow and four children who
know we'll the value of kind husband
and aifectionate father. How short is
life, and how certain is death.
In our peregrinations about the city
we were astonished TO find so much in
temperance among the young people. 1t
has come to be an evil. bordering ON con-
tagion, one is led on by the influence of
another and how hard it is to reflect the
influences, of these temptations, although
it is well understood they must inevita-
bly, lead to ruin if followed up. To reform
you must prepare to receive the SCOTS
and the indignitics of such associations.
Come out from among them. WhenSodom
could not furnish ten righteous men to
save it, Lot remained unspotted amidst
the contagion. He lived like an angel
among spirits of darkness, and the de-
stroying flame was not permitted to go
forth till the good man was called away
by heavenly messenger from his de-
voted city.

by the profane crew, but they, by the de-

Providence conferred the immortal honor
of being the restorer of better race, and
the father of New World Such ex-
amples as these, and such honors CON
fefred by good on those who withstood
the multitude of eyildoers, should often
be present to our minds. Let us oppose
them to the numbers of low and corrupt
examples, which we behold around us,
and when we are in hazard of being
swayed by such, let us fortify our virtue
by thinking of those, who, in former
times, shone like stars in the midst of |
darkness. and are now shin
ing in the kingdom of heaven, as the |
brightness of the armament, forever and !
ever. DETECTIVE.

readers of the Legend of the Centu-

had been believed dead by his family for
forty years. He left his country forty
years ago to explore distant lands and
had not been heard from since. He was
taken captive many years ago by Chi

ing his captivity they tattooed him all
over the face, body and limbs. Then he
fell into the hands of q travelling show
man, with whom he reentered his ma
tive land. He was recognized by his
siste and rescued from the hands of his
employer. The poor old man is COM
pletely broken in mind and body and
hardly able even to tell the tale of his
long and pitiable sufferings, not to
mention that any discoveries which he
may once have made are all buried in OBJ
