C. H. BINGHAM, Editor. - IIItOKVIL,L,IiFriday Uortloe, Uay 10, 18G7. The Hon. Jno. H. Farquhar Will accept tlc tlanka of several of Ms constituent- and fricndi of New Trenton for aereral varieties of pardon and otter valuable fccJj from the Patent Oflico. ; Acknowledgment. We are fUcel under renewed obligations to Hon. Geo. W.Julian for five bound volumes of the Congressional four volnrncs of Docuauyita from the Department of State. Mississippi. A marled change in public sentiment is noticed in Miasissifpi. Before tho pasrage of the Military lleconstraction bill they veto as violent secessionists as at any time daring the war. Since that measure has been pat ia force there has been a complete revolution in sentiment. Tbey are ready and willing not only to acquiesce in this nieasur of Reconstruction but to give it their active support. The great fear now is that the military commanders will be too elow for the people. Before the passage of thia bill all Northern men were ostracised and subjected to continual insult and contumely; now they are every where socially recognized and courted. The Republican Party in the South. The llichmoud ' Whig adovcatcs an alliance with the Republican party of the North. It says that party has nover deceived the South, because it never promised them anything until now. It says the Republicans can give the South selfgovernment if they will, and have promised to do so; while the Damocratio party has not the power to fulfill such a promise. It believes that if the South allies itself with the latter party, it will find itself in a hopeless conflict with the Republicans, the result of which will be permanent disfranchisement, confiscation, and the formation of a most striogent Stalo Government by Congress. -THght Hour Law in Chicago. Several Chicago mechanic are on tho .1. . ? A- it- Vvi. o rampage, bj ic do ueea to me demands of good order. They were engaged on Friday, as on tho day before, in forcibly closing up ail the establishment which would not hire workmen on the principle of pajiog ten hours' wages for eight hours' work. The police made a few arrests. The llayor attempted to address them, but to no purpose, lie bas issued a proclamation, but the general opinion seems to be that he has not acted in the energetic manner the exigency demanded. During Saturday the rioters desisted from offensive operations, although whether because they have giren up their purpose, or bccaue of a second and more decided proclamation by the Mayor, or on account of the rain, is not yet apparent. Within forty-eight hours four very destruc tire fires took place in the city, involving a loss of .half a million dollars and three live. . Two rf these fires wcro doubtless ret by incendiaries, and it is suspected that the incendiaries were of tho party of rioters. One of the establishments burned was a planing mill, the workingmen nt which refused to join tho eight hour party. The loss to the city directly traceable to the f rocccding of the rioters is cttimatcd at one uiilliou dollars. . Colored Voters in Louisiana. Tho New Orleans Tribune states that in all parts of the Southern State whero tho Conservative have made attempts to link the recently enfranchised citizens to their party, thchavc invariably failed to obtain even man. At several meetings where tolorcd men. wore- called upon to peak, they boldly declared their determination to stand by all means with tho Republican party. Tho Conservatives everywhere begin to be ?os hopeful of inducing the colored jcot.Jc to vote fur them. Prefers Confiscation. . Ex Gov. Perry, of Sou'h Curolina, has wiiitcn another letrcr against holding n convention under tho military bill. lie , ys It will La thu fin.

The Injunction Cases. Tlio argument of Robcrt'J.' Walker in tho Supremo Court, on the injunction cases, was delivered on Frjday. He took issuo wi'.h the Attorney General on the question of the power of the Court to docide in political matters, and read quantities of authorities in support of his viewt winding up with an arraignment of tho Military bill as unconstitutional and despotic In the Supremo Court Monday afternoon, Attorney General Stanberry closed the argument in tho Georgia and Mississippi injunction cases. lie ipoko as to thegencral principleainvolved, and denied, as heretofore, that tlicso cases had any place in Court. They were not within the jurisdiction cf a Court of equity such as tho Constitution provides. Thero was in them no bpsis of property on which relief could be given. Georgia and Mississippi, according to the bills filled, undertook to speak for all the people of those States. Where was evidence of this fact? Besides, of tho ten Southern States over which the reconstruction acts were to operate, only two vferorp. It was not known', to tho contrary that the remaining States wcro dissatisfied, for they had not presented any bill of grievances. The law gavo a citizen tho right to vindicate himself, and could do this as successfully as a State could do it for him. The counsel on the other side had invoked the Court to save their liberties from destruotion, to preserve the integrity of the States on whose behalf they appeared, but he declared there was no inherent power for that purpose in this Court; for Congress might so act as to destroy tho efficiency

of the Court by impeaching the Judges on false accusations, or by denying salaries rcquisito to tbeir support. It rested with the people, however, to secure the honesty and right doing of Legislatures, and on this basis one must look for the preservation of the rights of citizens and of guaranteed rights of States. No further proceedings took place on the question, as tho Court adjourned immediately after tho conclusion of Mr. Stanberry's argument. ' . Ccn. Sheridan, In following out his policy, has amended the Stato law of Louisiana requiring mem bers of tho Police forco to have been residents of the city five years, and orders Mayor Hatch to remodel tho force. The General has also interfered in tho quarrel between the Governor aud the Legislature in regard to the disbursement of the Levee bonds, abolished all the existing Boards of Levee Commissioners, and appointed o new Hoard for distributing the money. Gin. Grant has sent him a dispatch to the effect that his interpretation of the disfran chisement law must stilfad until overruled by tho Attorney Central. Jeff. Davis. Jeff Davis application for a writ of ha beas corpus sets forth that he has been a prisoner lioce May, 18C5, and has been for a long time ready for his trial on the indictment of May, 16GC; that his health is breaking down, and that he cm give amplo security for his appcaranco if released on bail. Senator Wilson Spokoat Charleston, S. C, Friday evening last. His speech was two hours long, consisting mainly of an arraignment of South Carolina as tho foremost champion of slavery in tho past, and advico to the people, white and black, to unite upon the platform of tho Union Republican party. Secession Papers Alarmed. The secession papers of tho South having advised tho people of that ecctiou to keep a dignified inactivity in rrgard.to reconstruction, have become alarmed at the effect of their odvicc, and arc now urging every ono of conservative tendencies to register, and not give up tho States into the hands of tho Union men and freedmen. Not to regUlor is to voto sgoinst tho South. This turn in the Southern mind, no less than tho tudden interest taken in tho welfare cf tho frcodmcn, is a full vindication of tho Congrcsaiuiml reconstruction policy. Lynch Law. A dispatch fiom Seymour states that on Monday afternoon a mob of two hundred men entered the place, and taking a negro named Mitchell to the wcodn, hung him, for an alleged theft at Houtton in the northern part cf the county. He had accomplices, white men named Stew art. The mob found a portion of the sto'en goods in possession of tho Stewarts, and tlifcatcned to execute them alto. A Brave Woman. Tho editor of the Noblo County News indulged iu the pastitno of calling tho editor of tho Noble County Republican nick-names. The wifo of tho editor cf tho Republican filled her pockets with eggs, met the News editor, and pelted him in. a most fggs-ogcratcd manner with tho hen fruit. That woman will do to tic to. Smolhcrod Her Child. A poor womun in Yiiieoiinca accidentally fnio'hcred her child a few da) muco Tho wutnin, her hunbatid and two childdrcn were 11 ripping in one bed. - T-T " ' A Youthtul Gamblor Sentenced. .lofor.lt O'Neal, nged about nineteen yearn, waa tried at the Into büöjiui of the Circuit Court of Putnam County, for professional gambling, found guilty, and sentenced to tho ponitenliiry for one )cnr, and disfiauthiitd for five jeur.

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. Several municipal elections took placo in Indiana on Tuesday. . The Republicans were successful in Indianapolis, Lawrenceburg and Fort Wayne. Richmond ant' Terre Haute elocted the Democratic ticket. Cambridge City elected . a tern, pcrsyuco ticket otef that of both parties. British America. Now that Russian America has bocn added to our dominions, thero seems to be a probability of British America following suit. The New York Herald' t Washington correspondent says the rumor still prevails In Washington that negotiations aro pending for the purchase of British America by tho United States, Mr. Soward proposing to give the Alabama claims in part payment. An expedition is being organised by the Stato Department to explore liusiian America and acquaint our people with the naturo of our rocent sc quisition. It will start sometimo this month. - I ' - Junction Railroad.

The Con nersvillo Timet states that the work of completing the track of the Junction Railroad between. Connersvillo and Rushville is being pushed forward as rapidly as possible. That part of the same rnad lying between Rushville and Indian a pol is will bo put under contract about the first of May, and the purpose of the company i to have it completed this season. Escaped. Isaac Richardson, a convict in the Jef fcrsonville Penitentiary,escaped on Thürs day. He attempted an outrage on the person of Mrs. Peat, eight miles from Jeffersonvillc, but her resistance, aided by a watch dog, foiled hira. Mr. Peat, her husband, attempted to shoot Richardson, but was prevented. Sensible Charlestonians. The City Railroad Company of Charleston, S. C, having opened its cars to all persons, irrespective of color, Gen. Sickles has addressed a congratulatory letter to tho President of the Company, in which he speaks of the act as a testimony cf the disposition of the Southern people to accept in good faith the legitimate consequences of emancipation. Horse Stealing in Adams County. The Decatur Eagle says that within a circuit of fifteen miles around that place twenty-fivo horses, at least, have been stolen during the last eighteen months. The Fafa iutiinates that citizens of that town, chief among wlujm is George Fctick, are in league with the thieves. Remains of a Bygono Elephant. . Dr. J. S. Fuller, of Perry, Allen County, has examined tho Bkcleton of an elephant found on the farm of Mr. William Thursh, in Noble County, near the Allen County line. The skeleton was found about four feet underground, below the surfuce of tho Diarsl), in which the ponderous fellow evidently became mired, as tho skeleton was. standing up. Dr. Fuller rays ho stuck in thq mud fully ' ono hundred years ago. Tho Indians had a tradition that elephants oneo inhabited Northern Indiana. Sensible for Toombs. Robert Toombs accepts the situation. That's very sensible for Toombs. At the Point of Death. Kx-Govcrnor Wright, of Indiana, now Minister iu Prussia, is said to bo at the point of death. i Imported Trout. James Matthews recently brought onethousand speckled trout from New York, to stock , his fidh pond near Fillmore. Tho pond contains about one-half acre. Cold Water Templars. A Society has rcceutly been organized at Winchester, Randolph County, entitled "Cold Water Templars." Tho order uumbcrs seventy-five members. Garrotcd. Pr. J. M. Yrure, of Liberty, was garrotcd and robbed in Indianapolis on the 17th ult., tho villains taking from him $1,400. Piscatory Organization. A piscatory sportsman's organization has been formed at Indianapolis. Ten dollars reward is offered for the conviction of any violation of the fieh law in that viciuity. A corporation of similar organisation in other parts of tho State is invited. D:ath to tho Dogs. The pcoplo of Fort Wayne seem bent on making a "suro thing'' with tho dogs. Having muzzled them according tt law, they are now poisoning them by wholesale. Wonder how long our pcoplo will coatinuo to worship their dogs. Vigifjnco Commiltco Incendiaries. Farmland, Randolph County, having suffered severely from fires during tho past month, tho inhabitants formed a vigilance committee to ferret out tho inccudiaries. This committee succeeded in fixing tho ciiino upon Jackson Heater, D. Flctchcr Joseph McNccs and William Ray. The parties would first rob a storo of all they could carry off, and then ct it on tiro to couccal the robbery. A portiou of tho stolen poods wcro traced to Cambridge City, and the accused aro held for trial. Railroad Purchase. It iicported that II. C. Lord has purI'haVcd lb north end of the' Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Railroad, from Lafayctto to Michigan City, and that a large portion of the south end will bo bbaiiduticd.

THE WHITE WATER JALLEY. A Correspondent of the Cincinnati Gatdie, writing from Connersvillo, May 4th,

gives his views as follows: , Having traveled during the past week through tho counties of Franklin, Union, Favctte, Wayne and Henrv. in this State, I have procured some Infijiwation in re gard to .crips, fruit, etc., that may not be The country now looks beautiful. It is throughout a flower garden, its blossoms and flowers filling tho air with their precious odors, while its bilhjfdM and "fields are covered with the roost chirming green, that serves as a surcrb background for the redbud and dogwood, the peach and cherryj now in full bloom". Tho loret trees ana orchards begin to show their foliage, which with the unusual richness of the green carpeting that is nowrprcading itself upon the fields, is in striking contrast with the snow form of yesterday, the frost which is almost a daily visitor,and the still more unwelcome ice, which has been seen in some localities within tho last few days. Much as the country looks like. May, it is yet cold. Tho stoves in tho 'cars and hotels have yet to bo kept well tiled with" fuel, while overeoatsand shawls ro no less required thau during the winter. , Indeed, the weather in this locality seems to bo affected with a sort of conservatism that is determined to picserr old habits without regard to tho inevitife warm season, tho hnrbingeis of which everywhere greet the eye and car. The prospect of fruit is unusually good. Farmers say that no immediate harm has been done by the frost, and though the fruit may be somewhat dwarfed by the Continued cold, there will still be an abundant yield. Tho wheat, too, generally Icoks excellently. There will be a less number of acres than usual from the causes I have alluded to in a previous letter, but tho incroased yield will more than compensate for. this deficiency. Much of the ground is now ready for corn. Farmen are generally not tempted to plant while it remains so cold, but the first warm days will be the signal for an attack all along the line, and forgiving the fields generally such s tickIior. as they have sot had for years. With these indications coC9 increased confidence in regard t the btreiocss future. Pcoplo begin to' feel that thö distrust and stagnation which have prevailed during tho past winter will soon . be relieved. It is true there aro causes opera ting that are deeper than the failure' cf ono of twocrops of wheat, but tho latter ha done much to aggravate the trouble and destroy confidence. In addition to this, the course pursued by both merchants and consumers has been of a wholesome character. Merchants lately have been buying sparingly, Edling carefully, and collecting as closely as possible.' Farmers have responded to the pinch by curtailing their expenses, and to the extent of their means paying their debts, so that, notwithstanding money is yet scarce, it can be safely said the (situation will each day grow better. The Election In Kentucky. The election for Congressmen took placo in Kentucky Saturday. There seems to have been little interest in the affair, and the vote polled was a small one; but tho rebel party nwpt the 4ato by a large majority. They have tlocted their candidates, certainly, In oil but tbe Seventh and Ninth Districts. In these only, the radicals expected to succeed. We have no definite intelligence from the Jattcr, and but littlo information from the Seventh. A dispatch from Maysville reports the majotity against Mckco in that County ono hundred moro than was estimated. Th'n looLs bud. Our friends counted upon his election by ouly 230 majority. The mountain, however, may do better than was anticipated. Uazcttce. Radical Change. Tho Richmond (Va.) U'A has come out as tho Radical organ of that city, and the change creates considerable remark. Tho WheafCrop. It is generally remarked by traveler' that the wheat crop looks fplendid all over the West. Thero never was better promise of an obundint yield; especially is this the case in Northern Indiana, where an unusually great breadth of land has been devoted to staple cereals. Republican Papers in the South. Tho rapid increase of Republican papers in tho South is one of tho "signs of tho times,'' which shows tho progress of Republican principles-in that dark and benighted part of our country. Republican papers have recently been established in New Orleans, Richmond, Little Rock, Meridian and Vicksburg.T heir influence for tho public good will soon be apparent. Black Walnut Sugar. Mr. Isaac Rrown, editor of the Sullivan Union, is tho recipient of a cako of sugar made from.the3n of tho black walnut tree, which he pronounces superior to ma pic sugar. It was mado by Mr. Tyra Har ris, of Fountain County, Jwho states that tho sap i.4 twice as strong as that of the mnplo, and will produco twieo tho amount of sugar from tho same quantity of water LAUREL MATTERS. Laurel, May 2. Dtar American. A brakcraan on tho V W. V. U. H. last week was seriously injured by the wheels of tho tender crush ing both feot. His situation is yet criti eal. and niuputation may bo necessary. The accident happened at the station while in tho net of coupling. Our town teems to be improving. New buildings are iu progress of erection, and mechanics of nil classes are busy. We aro expecting daily tho advent of the hydraulic power, which will set the wheel of the mills iu operation. On Tuesday tho Inhibition at Gifford's Hall by tho scholars of the Academy in charge of Prof. Peterson, proved, as usual, to bo a grand success, lhe lull was crowded, and good order was kept until after eleven o'clock, when the audience was diMoisscd. The iight was very unfavorable on account of tho rain which fell. A Good Tomplar'a Lode waa organised a shoit time since, ard is increasing in numbers. I will write you morr another time. 1

Nitrous Oxido or Laughing Gas As AN ANitdTUETIC üll TUE EXTRACTION or Teeth. Mr. IHngliamt Allow me to say to the public through your columns that I have, at considerable expense, fitted up an apparatus for tho roanufacturo of the above anaesthetic for tho extraction of teeth, I have administered it to over thirty persons, and feel prepared to say 1st, That as I manufacture the pure article, it is perfectly safe, tho effect parsing off iu a few mibutes, leaving the patient feeling pleasantly.2nd. That in evory cuso where directions are followed, tho operation is alto-

lutcly j)ainh-$$. Nono need fear giving it a fair trial, nor is it necessary to make a trip to tho City for an operation that can be performed at homo. J. W. KeelV . The Gosport Murder. Oar readers are aware of the brutal murder of the telegraph operator at Gosport, Owen county, Mr. John S. Johns, on Tuesday night of last week. Mr. Bceler, the Oreencasllo operator, was dispatched to the scene of tho murder, from, whom the following particulars aro obtained, the substance of which . was published in thö Cincinnati Commercial of Thursday: On Wednesday morning, about half past six o'clock, when the northwardbound'freight train reached Gosport, the conductor noticed tuat thmcs wore an unusually quiet appearance, and was sur prised, as Mr. Johns was always thero at that honr. On looking in at tbe window the conductor taw a dead man leaning against tho wall. He immediately broke tho door open, and lound it to be Mr Johns lie raised tue alarm at onee. The floor was found covered with the blood and brains of the murdered man. He had evidently crawled across the room to the wall, and placed himself in a sitting posi tion. His face had a horrible gash from tho cyo to tbe temple, and also one above tbe other eye. Hi hands wero covered with blood, where ho had rubbed the Jjlood from his face. There were no marks of i struggle, as he had evidently been knock ed senseless at the first blow. It is supposed that Mr. Johns was killed about nine o'clock last niiiht. Ho was last eccn about half-past eight at tho depot, attending to a freight train, by two or three citizens. A strango man, who was largo and looked supiciou, was there helping hira with tho freight. Uef it is thought, committed the murder. Mr. Johns was struck in tho back of tho bead with some blunt instrument supposed to bo a coupling link cr pin 'and knocked senseless. The nan then took the keys and opened the safe, and ' abstracted from it end the person of Mr. Johns aboct twohundred and sixty' dollars. There were thirty-fivo .dollars in another pocket of the murdered man, which the murderer did not get. The man, after committing the deed, locked the depot and threw away the key, which was- found some distance from the dopct. It appears that tho murderer walked for some distanco on tlic ends cf the tics on tho railroad, each Btcp being marked with clots .of blood. MV. Masten, the President of tho Louisville, New. Albany and Chicago railroad, offered" a' feward of f 500 for (ho arroet of tho murderer. The Coroner's Inquest' was held' upon tho body yesterday afternoon, and late lust night tho news was received that tho jury had returned a verdict charging Willis McMinniwny with the murder, and also tHc gratifying intelligence that the fictid hail been arrcstcJ, and is now in the hu n J of Marshal Akcrs. The whole village i in iuteoso excitement, and it is feared that tho people will break over the rcstruint of tho law and inflict summary vengeance upon tho miscrablo murderer. LATER. Indianapolis, May 3. Tho money stolcu from the railroad office at Gosport, and Willis McMinniway's (the murderer's) clothes, were found buried under an oelt-hopper in McMinniway's yard money and clothes blocdy. Another man implicated had been arrested. The cxiileuient is increasing, and it. h feared tho citizens will them beforo nijiht." ban" McMinniway is a resident of Gosport, and has been assisting Johns in loading freight and collecting freight bills. His wiio f-nys he did not come home until 12 o'clock on tho night of the murder, and left about b o'clock iu tho morning for Quincy. At the preliminary cximinatiorr to-day of McMinniway, before tbe magistrate, he was found guilty of murder in tho first degree. Judge llcklcs adjourned his court at Bloomington, and with the Sheriff and members of tho bar, went to Gosport. At tho conclusion of the examination, Judgo Inkles, cx Governor Dunning, and Messrs. liuskirk aud Montgomery, of Bloomington, addressed the excited crowd of citizens, urging a strict observance of the law. The prisoner was then started under a guard of twenty-fivo men for the jail at Spencer. The excitement is 6till very great, and it was with diCiculty lynching was pre vented, Louisville, April 3 Dispatches from Gosport, Indiana, to 1 P. etato that McMinuiwny, tho murderer of Johns, tho to-lcgraph operatorand station agent, would surely bo hung this A t'laiform has been erected in the street to try tho prisoner.

Frothlngham ) Hcröcs of Central Africa, by W Winwood Reade Reviews and Literary Notices. TtcKsoh k Fields, Publishers, Bostoni LETTER FROM HARRISON. Harrison, 0 May C, 18C7. Dear American, Hay has com to us agaio, and though the 'glorious weather) that poets attribute to her ingress, has not so far attended her, yet she brings in many beautiful flowers, arid the promise of much fruit and abundant haftest. The farmers in our vicinity ar busily engaged in preparation for the Spring sowing and planting, and their work Is progressing very aatisiactorily ; business is brisk and our peoplo are showing by their cnterpri&e and activity that we are a live peoDle. We have heard of several salcj of property io our town and vicinity, and do not wonder that property in Harrison and vicinity is sought for by Cincinnati business men, as homes for their families' certainly a pleasant residence may.be found here, if anywhere; and when we consider the fact that no epidemic ever has visited its fury on us, and that it is celebrated for tho healthiness of its locality the inducements it offers are very great, especially as the morning train on the railroad will land you in. tho City before busincw hours aud permit you to remain until after business hours in the evening. To those desiring pleasant, healthful village or eountry homes, we can very confidently rccomend Harrison and vicinity, and to such we would say that George liowlby Esq. or A. D. Krcwson would be happy to give all needful information, and show property now in market. I said curs were a. live people they certainly deserve the title, . when we take into consideration the loss of our water power, and other circumstances impeding for a time tho progress and business interests of our people, which, however, will in time bo provided for in a more durable manner. In the meantime our enterpris ing and euergetic townsman .Mr. W. W. Davison, (whose good judgment has led him, I see, to advertise in the American.) has introduced steam power iu his woolen factory, as has also Mr. Hollowell in hid flouring mill. A Hydraulio improvement is one of the wants of our place, but one which will bo supplied, doubtless, as soon as a rather mean, and disreputable, individual opposition on tho part of a few persons to its location is given up ; when this good work is effected, our town will speedily advauco in improvement, population and business. I am sorry, as I was corpriscJ, to learn that some of my friends here took serious exception to some statements in a former article of mine. The truth of the statements, have not, I believe, been called in question, and perhaps their truthfulucss was the reason for their dislike, to them. And here Ut m relieve fhe Rev. Mr. Reed from all blame of authorship or responsibility for these articles, as 1 here emphatically declare he has Seither been consulted about, or seen theni, until after their appearance in the Africa. And now perra'rt tie to put in a disclaimer, if needs bo, to any opposition or enmity to religion. I Chly enter my protest to that narrow, tt-ctarian bigotry, which unchurches and unchristianizes all who refuse to adopt their peaiK'af de ntas and whilst I may claim a membership in no church; but tho great church universal of Christ, 1 am willing to beurmy testimony to the high estimation in which 1 think the ministers in this place shoald bo held. The minister of the Presbyterian Church has long been known to this peoplo, and his praiso is in the mouths of all. The incumbent in the Chtistian Church always has shown himself a gentlenmn in my intercourse with hin, and tho preacher of the Methodist, by all is admitted, frequently, to preach sermons . above mcdi ocrity. I respect them all for their estimable qualities, and for their office, but, excepting young quack doctors, 1 have found more young preachers troubled with- the "big-head' than any other clws j thi, however, may be accounted for, ou tho principle that they cannot afford to be great or even sensible all tho time. Wo understand that two of our old physicians, Drs. Clark aud Good hard t, are preparing to remove another evidence of the good health of the peoplo of this locality. A young medical gentleman, Dr. Rabb, late ot Rising Sun, Ind., has come to this place to locate, so that the supply of physicians" and doctors is not likely to tail. In this connection we may also state that wo wilt soon lose another of our citizens, soon to remove, wo hear, to Michigan the Rev. Levi Miller. The remains of Mr. John Pursel, formerly of this place, w as brought here to-day for interment. Iiis death occurred at Indianapolis, but I have not learned the particulars. I saw the handsome phii of our old friend Rev. W. W. Hibben, formerly of tho Lawrcnccburg Independent lct, On our streets to-day; and was glad to know that ho was still ablo to be '-swinging around." Notwithstanding a high order of talent and many amiablo and excellent qualities which he doubtless ponsestcs, his lriends can but regret his alhercuce to, the "my j)ory" dogmas; but we may hop0 that time will work a euro of that delusion, if not already accomplished. May his shadow never grow less. i My sheet is lull. For tho present, adieu. . ( Peiiuy Montrose. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. TO MUSIC TEACHERS AND. DEALERS.
