C. Chapman will preach iu the Cumberland Presbyterian Cbarch next Sunday. Servicea at the usual tours. Rev. Woody Mitchell returned lat week from New England, and preached at Zion lan Sunday.

Rev. Wellborn Mooney, P. in the basement ot the Methodist Church in this place Ust Saturday morning from the t.t. "'All things work together for g.x.d for them that lore God." The congregation was Dot large, bat the sermon was one of power, beauty and usefulness giving comfort to the sincere Chtirtian, and warning to unbelievers Be called attention to the number of the thing that work together for the gix of Christians "all things." God. Christ, the lloly Ghost the angels and the saints in bearen good men and bad meuon earth the earth, the ear, moon and the ttais, tribuUtiocs, temptatioua all work for the good of those that love God The nreacher then dwelt on tha significance of the word "Work," tay ing that in a certain sense all things work, from God downwards and beseeching hi bearers the iuiporisnce ol working zealously fortbe use ol Christ.

On this point he has a ritit to preach, as tc is great and successful worker his Master' service. The word "'good" received his at" teolion aUo, and his remarks on "love" rrc especially worthy of bein'j treasured up. He aaid a in might work for God, irar to him lire a blawelees life, have faith sufficient to Bjore mountains, and yet if be did not love God, be Could not enter heaven. The brsi coin jwndmeot a to love Hiji with all our soul, tu nJ aad strength. Mr.

Mooney preach ed Saturdy night in the audience room of the church, to a lare congregittiou. t-'uiidav uoruing be visited the Sabbath School, and preach el at 11 o'clock from the text: 'He that winueih souls is wiss." The preacher tnd that the highest wisdom was in eaving souls. Knowledge, iwer, wealth aud liberty ail these, would not Save a man's soul, nor even make him a good man. No n.an had a higher appreciation of persoual and political liberty it was something worth living and dj ii.j for aud yet it would not make a id an ujoral or good. Wcbad seen a strikiug illustration ol t-iis fart iu our own land so ial aud political liberty had been suddenly given to a whole rare of people, and yet who would dure to say that it bad made them moral or tett nao atid women Let our crowded jails and over Sowing penitentiaries answer! The preacher said that if there was any vain thing bewa leuipted to bow down and worship, it va knowledge; and yet.

without the love cf God if the heart, knowledge would not make nun moral. Koine attainid greatness ancJ power ur.t and is still unrivalled, in nr. and hiu lltclual culture; and yet her social Site as cormpt to the core. Look at our na-tii-u i especially the senate clmm her csmposed of uieu of intellect and power, and yet inauj of theui are corrupt and iniuior-ol, doing things wtich it were unbecoming to Fpoak of in plain language. Nothing but the rel gioo ol" Jerus Clirit can eave men from siu.

The congregation was very lure, the house being fu'l. The sacrament of the Lord's frupper was adir.ini-.ti.rcd to nearly nil present. At night, fr. Mooney preached from Kphe-sians, 2d chapter, U'th, 20th. 21i-l, and 22.1 verses.

P. Mc- Gaw had sold his livery stable, stock an out-tits to r. lloubten Mayes, of Franklin, Mr. McGaw has been one of the best livery men in the country, and his many friends will re gret to know that he has retired from business We don't know why he bas quit doing business uuless it be that be has grown rich, and wants to seek an asylum on the "Sabine farm II this ia the cause of his we cngrat-nlate him. We heartily welcome Mr.

Mays back to th scenes of his early life, and wish him all success. He is au ecergetie business man aud tn accommodating geutleiuao. Forty-three years ago, Mr. Sauuel A Gil lespie loved a beautiful woman, Miss of big Bigby Creek. She promised to marry him it he would huild just nucha bouse as he would design, being one of those remarkably fasciaating women, whose peculiar province it seeius to be to make old bachelors do fool ish thius, she bad such iufluence over Mr, Gillespie that he bought the lot aud built tae house, accordiug to her euggestiou.

After he hid finished it off in elegaut style, she married another man and is now living in or near La fayette, we believe. Gillespie became a morose old bachelor aud died of a broken heart Tbe house was put in a lottery of JlO.OeO, and Dr. McJiropsey drew it with a 2.30 ticket" which ticket is now in possession of Dr. W. II.

Brown, who now owns the bouse. The house and lot was alternately owned by Dr. McNeill, Major John brown. Dr. Law, and is now owned by Dr.

W. II. brown. Dr. Brown commenced improving his place about a year ago, and Lis residence looked so handsome and the kitchen, carriage-house, looked so badly by coutrast, that this summer he tore them down, and erected in their stead, the handsomest and most convenient outhouses to be found in our town, It is a two--tory brick building, containing bed-rooms for servants, cairiage room, smoke-house, and upstairs a cooking room and store-room adjoining.

Ti.cie is no plasteriug on the walls, but are very neatly atd handsomely dressed, so that colored occupants arc Induced to have a pride in keeping everything neat and tidy. An elegant gallery lends from the rosideuce to tbe kitchen, which also answers lor a ponh. The kitchen is surrounded by a pavement. 1 he enterprising Doctor intends to build a fine rvc'a. fence or wall on Mechanic stteet, and fill his liont yaid with tiowets and shrubbery; after whieh he will have one of the hundsoiuett and most charming places is all the laud.

The situation is hiab. and a fine view can had in almost every directlom. Prof. Bennett's exclamation on first beholding tbe new building was, "comfort and convenience combined! My mathematics could not beat, that, Doctor. What architect planned it?" It was all tbe Doctor's.

We make mention of the above facts because we appreciate enterptise, and like to commend all citizens who go to tbo expense and trouble of improving the town. A band-some, convenient bouse ia a pleasure to all who look at it, and helps to give the stranger a favorable opinion of the town. OVER THE roiISTT. Esq.

Briggs, of Vale Mills, Giles county, has a terrier which lecently dived down into tbe creek, below the dam, and brought out eaough fish for breakfast Kelly Kittrell and Iewis Winn, both minis ters of the old Baptist (col) Church, had an appointment to preach at the Flat Creek church last Sunday.

When they arrived thera the) art re met at the door by Warwick Hodge, with a club ia his hands, ready to dispute their en trance into the church. Seeing that Hodg' who is also a preacher, was in earnest, Kit trell and Winn, rattier than have a row, went to the residence of Anderson Chaffi where they had a good congregation, all the people having left Hodge to himself, at the church.

1IICIMA t'OlXTV ITEMS. The Campbellites or Christians, are erecting a new church at Centreville. When completed will be quite an improvement, to tho town. There are sixty Public Schools now in operailon in this itinty. It won't bo long before the people will be fully arousd to the importance of education; in some districts there are steps buinu taken already to continue the schools for ten months during the year; a public interest in matters ol this character it is to be hoped will not abate.

There has been ijui an exodus of our population this tali to Texas and Missouri; eight wagons packed through Centreville the other day hound for the tar Wc8t; they were mostly from Swau creek. The subject of immigration to our State, and not out, with the encourago-ment ol manufacturing, and tbe rlevel-optnent of our latent resources should be among the first things to be considered by our next legislature. Manufacture and keep our people at homo and the spectre of repudiation will never haunt our dream-. In these panicky limes, several individuals in this county have come very near seeing him, but they have not fairly made bim out yet, though tbey aro very uueasy. The farmers are growling over the low price ot peas and cotton; tbey say if the banks are closed bow are they going to get money to pay their debts, they can't raise Greenbacks; if they could they would plant a few of them to buy goobers next Spring.

There has been a good deal of sickness in portionsof the county this fall. W. J. Foulkes, an old aud respected citizen, died in the neighborhood of Centreville a lew days ago. Diptheria iu portions of tbe county Las been quite fatal among tbo cbilaren.

There were but few persons attending tbe County Cou it on last Monday, at Centreville. J. P. Morrisou, the Chairman of the court, presided with his usual dignity. He makes a good officer, at.d despatches the business of his couit readi'y.

We believe "'possum and puukin' are like hog jowl and turnip salad in the spring of the year they all go well together. If there were no persimmons, there would not be any 'possums.

Willy Moore and Henry Nixon caught a very fat one the other night, Was there ever a boy who did not like to hunt 'possums?) They were so proud of their trophy, that they waked up ev erybody in town to show him to them. Up in manhood, while engaged in the toils and labors of busy life, remote from the scenes of our rambles in early boyhood, 6ome trifling incident sometimes awakens in our minds pleasant impressions made there while enjoying this sport though the 'possum hunter, we believe, ranks among buuters dike tb wheel band fisherman o.ie of whom Major Clint Douglass is which among tirst-class fishermen on tbe lowest or der.

THE BOKKN HEART I We never could look on woman, young ana lovely, iauuig away irom tue earth in beautiful and uncomplaining melancholy, without feeling tbe very fountf-insol life turning to tears.

Death is always terrible, but when a form of manly beauty, of exquisite proportions ,1 L. .1 r.

Such is the case, we far, of one, who snail De nameless, wno nas lost tbe idol of bis hertand purest love, and the -hadows ot deep and holy memories are renting like the wing ol death upon his dark anil manly brow. He seems cheerful, and even gay at times, ye', we see Ins gayety is but the mockery of his leenugs.

A larje and attentive au dience was present. Smiles of uratih-cuion were on every face. Mothers laughed and almost shouted to near truths made known that they never heard ex'pres ed before. Mr.

S. R. Wat-kins, of Ash wood, was then introduced, and ia his happy and easy manner of address, entertained ihe assemblage with a beautiful daesic and interesting lecture on the importance of religion and education, with a heart-felt sentiment that he believed that the good people in the South felt a great interest in their future welfare, prosperity, religion and education of the colored people; and he as au individual, would aid, instruct and giye his influence for their happiness. Bot speeches seemed to have the happiest elfeut. The Hardin county fair, that came off the last of October, was a complete success, although the weather was unpro-pitious.

There was a fino display ot stock aud a uge attendance. As tbe Hardin county people hayealways cherished the maxim that "fair play is a jewel," they not only invited the ad joining counties, but also toe bister States, to compete tor premiums in tbe different rings, some of which were well represented. Mr. Burgess, ol Mississippi, had some very fine horses on exhibit tion. and took a good many prizs.

We roticed two very fine cuts by Old Reckless of Maury county, both ot which took the blue ribbon iu tbeir respective rings. We also saw some good cattle that was raised in the neighborhood ot Mt. Pleasant by jor W. C. Ingram, which also bore off the blue.

As this was only the second year that the fair had been in progress, tbe people of Hardin county iies-rve jreat credit for tbe admirable and honorable way in which things were conducted. Tbe opening of the fair is a general gathering of tbe people, and a time of open hearted lib-erali'y. and warm-hearted congratulations; when the bosom swells with genial good fellowship, and the plenteous tables are filled with every luxury that taste could wish, which is always offered to the visitors without ceremony, that is characteristic of an honest and thriv lug people. A good many farmers have taken great interest in tine stock raising, and have adopted the principle of economy that it is cheaper to raise a blooded animal than a scrub. In a lew years she will be if not the finest, second to no county in the State in point ot fine stock.

Among tbe ladies present, was tbe beautiful and graceful Miss Addie and Miss Blanche Irom the gult coast of Louisiana; the queenly Mis ot Florence, the lovely Maria and fascinating Mi Sue Savannah; tbe brilliant Mrs. Nannie 8., of Hardin county; tbe amiable Miss Mary ot Waynesboro, and th stylish brunette Miss Edd of Mc.

No one who baa never participated in tbe wild deerehase, or glanoed along the polished barrel of a well tried fusee at them, can imagine the great amount of sport attached to the killing of eighteen deer; nor do they know bow much real enjoyment tbey miss by not indulging occasionally In a week's camp hunt We have never seen any picture of all the hunting scenes where the artist haa come any ways near to what we saw around Webster's Camp, or what if known by hunters as "Logan's Camp." It is situated between two large bills surrounded by scrub oak or blackjack, These trees were bending under tbe weight of tbe no longer fleet footed deer. Eighteen were killed at Logan and two at English's camp, making in all twenty. Tbe weather was cold enough to save them without any trouble.

Tbe doctor offered two or three prices to the Lewis county farmer for one of them, so he might tie it to a tree aud shoot it; but the good hoar ted man said he could not see bis son's pet tied and shot in that manner.

So our pro fessional friend was disappointed. We learned that he could have got one at New berg. So when we go again, if his chances do not improve, he can "take that one iu." Maj. Joe Dobbins, Blair Webster and H. P.

SPRISe HILL ITEMS. A remarkable triumph of the healing art has recently been achieved in this place by tbe scientific skill of Dr. A- U. vvmte, in the case orthe wite ot a hfgniv respectable grocery merchant of this town, who has been laboring under a most serious attack of ropey for some months pist. Sbe had gradually but steadily grown worse, until it became evident that without speedy relief, she could live but a short tinin.

At this juncture Dr.VVhite.wbo keeps apace with i the improveme -ts in the practice ol his profession, brought into quisition that most wondertul instrument, the Aspirator, being a miiuateur pump, wih a tube not larger than a tine needle, which with a gentle pressure, is made to penetrate the cavity of the chest, whence ia drawn off by tbe working of this instrument, tbe watery fluid, by which tbe body bad ben distended to almost double its natural size. The operation was a tended with little pain. and bas proven so far successful, that the lady is able to attend to ber domestic duties, and to visit her friends, and is apparently in at good health as sbe ever was, and ber physician and trends entertain the hope that her cure is permanent. Dr. Whit treated the case of Mr.

Thorn is Crow, which, it will be remembered, was reported in the Herald some two years ago. With the Aspirator, Dr Wntte d-ew off from the cavitv of bis ehest. two gallons and thtee quarts of purulent matter and watery fluid, thus rlie ing bis lungs and restoring him to good health. His case had been pronounced confirmed consumption when Dr. White was called to sea bim.

Yaaec The following beautiful and touching address was delivered by Col. John V. Wright, by request, last the Court House, before the members of the bar, aud a large assembly of citizens: May it please your Honor: In rising to second the which have just been presented and read, I obey tbe natural impulsed of a heart deeply paiu-ed at tbe loss of a professional brother, and most cherished fiieud. It was my good fortune to have known Vance Thompson, in all the varied walk of life for upwards of twenty years. I was associated with him, more or less, the political struggles of this country, when we were both young men, lie being an honored representative in the councils of our native btate, and myself an humble representative iu another body.

Though uot so long or so intimately associated with him, in this and other ourts of our country, as many of my profes-ional brethren, who sit around ine yet I think that I had sufficient cquaintance witli his tiai's of character as a lawyer, to enab'e me to form just estimate of his wonh ami ability I was with hi in for a c-nibi lerable period of time during the dark djys of wur, wht hope id aim 8t Mown, aud deep despair was fast gatheriug on the fices ot those with whom he and my-eli ympatized aud acted in that teriibh- aia most disastrous struggle. And, ibove all, i 'eel that 1 knew him well iu tbe private and socil walks ot life, tb" flel i in wi.icli his warm and generous nature most delighted to dwell, aud great, genial heart. poured orth its warmest rays of coaiideuce ana trust and rueiidsoip. Hiving thus known him in nearly i 1 tbe varied walks of lie, having enjoyed his friendship and confidence years, no shadow of distrust enter ing between us. well knowing the priu pies and opinions which went make up uiscnaracter.and having from these associations, formed a high esti mate of his virtues, and cherished a ide charity for his faults, I leel that it uld not be an intrusion on this court, or bis friends, or his own memo ry that I should most heartily second tbe resolutions, and add my own to the outspoken 6orrw win has already eeti manifested by others, in po iu Cil principle, Maj Thompson was a true republican, not iu a party sense.

but in the sense in which the term is applied to governmental forms. He believed pre-emiueiitiv iu the right and equ ility of the people. He looked with favor aud enthusiasm upon all -chemes of government, whether in his own or other countries, which looked to the elevation, prosperity aud happi ness of the people, and abhored, and scorned any and every art, or artifice rulers, which aimed to take from the humblest citizen his just lights, or. itn- Fose unnecessary burdens on tue poor, all my intercourse with the public men of this uutry, I have never known a man iu whose hands I would have trusted my own life, liberty or the lives.iiberties or property of my countrymen, rather thau in the hands of W. Vance Thompson.

Iu the formation of his political opinions he seems to have etud ed, and studied deeply tho cliari'ctets, opinions and principles of the olden times, of tubmen who framed aud built up om yslem of govern men'. He was the advocate on all occasions, of simplicity, purity, honesly aud economy, in the dministratiou of public alt'tirs. Iu his comparison of the present prolliga-y, ex ravagauce and corruption, with the ptir.ty, tcouomy and cou-luct of the men ot'tlie first revolution, his faith, though still strong in the ult -mate tr umt of sound ptiucip es, was uuch shaken. He was wont to point ba-k to the days of Jeilcrson and Madi son, and draw in piutfd enmpari -ons between those dajs aud these times of apparent rottenness and decay. Major Thompson, though a sinceie, bold and el q'lent advocate of popu ar rights, aud popu'ar virtues, was no demagogue.

H- tested bis cause on bo sen-ational appeals to the passions and orejudicesof Ihe He based the a iv eaey of his inions on and argument, and when in the full youth, aud before disease utl sorrow had chcke I not we ikened powers, I d' no more than istice truth, when I say that as au adv.e cate ot the principles wh eh he cherished, he had but few equal-1. He was ear in tbe statement it his ca-e, ear nest aud strong in its advocat-y, wed versed in the history of i.ublic events, endowed with a wonderful memory, and when his soul was stirred to its full measure, he could pour fouth streams of eloquence, such as touched the hearts and moved tne souls of nis bear ers. I have said be was nodemasogue. He neither hat-d nor envied the rich or the great. Wi a pure heart and a well balanced judgment, hec uld bold be scales with a steady hand and do even justice to all.

But while this was so, woe be to tne man with whom be had to deal, who endeavored, on accouutof t-uperior station, wealth, lo phce the loot of opppressiou and injustice on tne neck ot the ess fortunate and worthy poor. On such occasions he possessed the ab Itty. tbe will aud ine courage to lash tfie onender for his assurance, and most skillfully and powerfully did he apply the castigatiou. As a lawver. M-dor Thomnon was well ver-ed in the great principles of the profession, and had, evidently, a clear and comprehensive knowledge of its slruciure and principles.

1 lie same traits of character and mind of which I have already ppokeu, made lnm in the davs of his health and manhood, a formidable adversary at the bar. In that department of the law the noblest of them all, aud the field best adapted to tbe display of those high and uutile traits of mind and heart whieh constitute the truly great lawyer, aud which is eo ably administered in your Honor's court, he stood deservedly high. Here was the field where mote frequently. shone those high traits which him as a lawyer. Here he brought to bear argument, wit and elo quence, to a degree seldom seen or neara, ana in mis court no uispiayeu that great and ruling trait of his nature, charity, which forbade that he should ever turn a deaf ear to the accused, however poor or unfortunate.

Though of a weak frame and unused totoil.be was a man of woudertui power of endurance, which was man ifest on most all occassiuns, but which was more particularly noticeable in the dangers and sulTerings through which he was called to p.iss in the perilous track of war. In camp, iu pris on, on tbe march or amid the rage ot battle, bis spint never fagged, and even when suffering, fatigue aud sick ness had uearly borne down and over come his frail body, bis ever active spiiit wa at work, aud mirth and hope a.nd joy were ever present. He was in war as in peace, true to his p'ofession, and has gone to join again his fellow comrades. "The muffled drum's sad roll has beat The soldiers' last tattoo, Jo more on life's parade shall meet That brave and fallen few. On fame's eternal camping ground, Then silent tents are spread Aud glory guards with solemn, round The bivouac ol" the dead." It was in the private ami social walks of lire which were made manifest, those peculiar and delightful traits or mind and heart, which won for our deceased brother an friend, that host of friends iu life and mourners in death, who have been called upon to deplore his loss.

He was free and easy in conver sation, social in his nature, well informed on most topics, aud extremely fond of the society and conversation of his friends. His manners were so gentle and his conversation to agreeable, that whilst he was much in company and frequently in arguments and disputes, I nave no recollec ion of any occasion in which he jave off ence to certainly not willfully, and if he had, no man would have been more ready to make reparation. In war he was as brave as any, and in the walks of piivate life aud peace, be was as gentle and harmless as a child. Kind aud affectionate as a lsband, indulgent as a father, true and faithful as a friend, generous, magnanimous and forgiving as a foe, his death has produced a vacuum in the hearts of those who knew him and loved bim, which it will be tliflicult to fill. It is sad to think that we shall no more see bis familiar face in our waits, Tribal RmpmI Thompson.

uor hear again his eloquent voice in our court rooms: "No more for him the blazing hoarth shall burn. Nor busy housewife ply her even Ine care, 'or children run to greet their Ire's return. Or climb his kuee the envied Mm to Let us cherish his memory, emulate his virtues, nd forever btot from memory his errors. He who was evef read to excuse aud palliate the errors of Ll fellow man, aud whose charity was broad enough to cover all the failties and foibles of other, might well have expected that his own should be seen dimly by his friends, if seen at all. Trusting in the goodness and mercy of that Great Being who is the common father of us all, let us have faith to believe that the "accusing when he fl up to Heaven's chancery to present his charge, "blushed as be gave tbem and that the recording angel when he bad written them down "dropped a far upon the words and I lotted them out forever." In the death of our friend and brother it is well that we should reflect on ur own frailties and mortality, and the certainty th it we too shall soon le called from this to another bar, aud another court, anil in-tbe presence of lb Uieat Judge of the Universe.

It should id oonish us to be patient, forbearing and charitable in the struggles whh-h re necessarily incident to our prof, s-sional life here, and that, however much of wealth, honor or fame we may icquire, we too shall soon pass away That we are at best but worms of the dust, as frail and fleeting aud unsubstantial "as the shadows of the clouds which pass over our fields and are seen and remembered no more for ever."
