I’L.tN'.tTiON.— In the .iacknovvledg-
ment of contributions in kind, in
the paper this week, appears an
entry of two-.-^oxes received from
a lumibor of friends at Harrells-
ville ;md Bcthe’hem Cluu’cb, con-
tainiiig a variety ot goods, cloth
ing dc. Those were received
sonie weeks since and would have
lieen acknowledged at the time,
Imt the list of articles and the do
nors was misplaced and has not
vet been recovered, so we were
compelled to enter tlipni rathei in
the aggregate as tlyey appear in
the pajjer.' The contributious "were
valuable, and we very siiicovely
thank the frioitds vyho sent them,
iind thgy would have been} ac-
kapwledged soonbr but for the
" reason above .gjven.
Adsext.—The Superin^ndent,
Mr. Mills, has been'absent on a
trip to Mars Hill ahd the regions
’ round ^bouf for nearly four weeks,
which will account for several
communications to him not be
ing attended to. We expect him
to return this or in the early part
ofnextweek.
Advertising Acoo’gnts.—Dur
ing the week tve sii.all prepare ad
the accounts due tho Orphans
F'riend for advertising. ITe have
not done it before for want of
time, and only mention the mat
ter now as an apology to several
]).arties, who liave reque.stea Ip
for not doing it before. We will
try to have them ready and i)re-
sent them by the last oi tins
week.
A Practical Answer,—Our
Onphans all go tho ’ different Sab
bath schools in Oxford. East
Sunday the little Indian boy^Joe
Stiinding-Dcoa’, wasmskod by his
teacher,
“Where did O.od [dace Adam
iiiid Eve f’
“Id do garden .Eden.”
“Wliat'did lie tell them to do!”
■ Hero Joe lumg his head fir
some time as if trying to remem
ber thet answer, ■then suddenly
raising it, be answered, “lie told
dem to shut de gate.”
Joe had been reprimanded the
day before for leaving the gar
den gate open at the j^ylum
and letting the pigs get in, so,
having forgot tlie answer to tho
question in his catechism, he
thouglit, no doubt, to shut .the
gate'’was the most probable in
junction given to our first parents.
The good book says ifo “must
not despise tlie day ot sniall
thing’s,” and w’G dent iiiteiiu
to do it. If wo did we should de
spise OA'er lialf the: day's -in tbo
c'alender, and especially the . day
we laid the claims oi tho Orpliau
Asylum before a collection oi
three or four Imudred ])eoplo and
got, upon-an average, loss than
one cent a-hoad.

A General oiliec!’, who was in

to the niemorablo check he re
ceived from a Scotch clergyman.
Vvlien he was lieutonaiit, and set
tled iit Nowcaslle, he got involved
in 11 brawl with some of tho Ion -
est cla.ss in the jinblic street, smil
(lie altercation was carried on b)'
tho parties rvitli abundtincc ot im
pious language. Tlio clergyman
p.uising bi', was shocked with tho
profanity,' and stepiiing into the
ci’Otvd 'AUtli ills cane upfifled, thus
addressed one of the' leiid-ers ot
the rabhle; “0, John, John!
wi’.at is this I hear t yen only a

Tiion turning to tho lieutenant,
“You’ll excuse this poor man, sir ;
for he is an ignorant body, and
kens nae better.” The youug ot
ticer shrank away in confusion,
unable topngke any reply. Next
dav ho vraited oil the ininister,

woll-tiii)ed reproof, and was ever

G-
N E w Advebtlsement;—Wo
would refer-the re.ader to the da-
vertisement of Messrs. George
AJIen &Co., of Newbern, dealers
in hardware, machinery &c. This
is an old established and reliable
house and does a very large bus
iness throughout the eastern and
middle parts of the State.
SsAKESKiN . Shoes.—Tho Win-
chostcr (Ky.) Journal says : _ Wo
saw in this town a nice pair of
shoes, the vamps of which were
made of rattlesnake'hide, and the
quarters of chickensnake hide.
Also several snakes hides neatly
tanned, and three foot long and
eight inolios wide. They belong
ed to J. FI. Henderson, who lives
on “Big Coon,” in Jackson coun
ty, Ala. Ho makes a specialty
o'f catching all kinds of snakes,
rattlesgakes in particular, and,
without injurying or killing them,
takes of their hides. These he
tans in about two months, and
then makes into shoos. He used
a wood, which grows in the
mountains, to “iiiesincrixe tlie
snakes.
A poor man with an empty
purse' came one diiy to Michael
Feneberg, the, godly pastor of
Seeg, in Bavaria, and bogged
three crowns that he might finish
his jurnoy. It was all the money
F’encberg had, but as ho besought
him so earnestly in the name of
Jesus, in the name of Jesus he
gave it. Immediately after ho
found him.self in great outward
need, and 'seping no way of relief
die prayed, saying ; “Lord, I lent
Thee three crawns; Thou hast
not yet returned thorn, and Thou
liiiowost hoiv I need them. Lord,
I pray Thee give them back.”
Tho same day a -niossonger
brought a money-letter, which
Gossner, his assistant, reached
over to Feneberg, saying: “Here,
father, is what you expended.”
The letter containo 200 thalers
(about $190), which the poor
traveller had begged from a rich
num for the vicar, and tho child
like old man, in joyful amazement,
cried out: “Ah, dear Lord, one
dare ask nothing of Tlieo, for
straightway Thou makest one
feel so ashamed.
