The Charlotte Observer snys : During the late war six of the Federal prisoners confined in the Salisbury prison made their escape together, and coming over in this direction, reached the home of a certain person who lives about twelve miles from Charlotte, a man of well known Union sentiments. This man, whom we shall call A, took them into his house, cared for them and treated them witli the utmost kindness, kecjung them well concealed aud providing for all their wants. The escaped prisoners stayed with him for about a month, and finally began to think of an attempt to get back into their own lines. With this determination three of them started off in one direction and the other three in another. One party went by way of Hickory Nut Gap, in the hope of getting into Brownlow's dominions. This hope, however, was destined to be blasted, for before they could reach the Tennessee lino they were captured by a party of Confed erates aud carried back to Salisbury, where they were confined again. The three who had taken a diilereut route had better luck and got safely into the Federal lice. Among the three who were captured was one whom we shall designate as B. He suffered the pangs of impris onment until the close of the war, and, shortly after its ending, he became interested in a sugar plantation in Louisiana. At this he succeeded well. His business was remunerative and he acquired some wealth. On Sunday morning he arrived in "'..'rlotfo on the way to his home in -'ri " r. Pa.

So creat was his'gratitude to A, that he felt that he could never pass by without going to see him, and not withstanding the terribly rainy weather and the wretched con dition of the roads, he hired a horse and started out for A's house. Arriving there he found that A was in Charlotte, and coming back he hunted and inquired around until he found him. The meeting was a most cordial one, and B's gratitude was poured out in burning words, to the man who had bo kindly harbored and provided for him at a time when he feared seriously for the consequences, if it should be inown.

An Editors Journal : East Saginaw, Mich. , March 24. The enclosed article from the Mid land times, relating to the growth, culture, manufacturer, uses and de mand for the sumac plant, I forward for republication in your journal for the benefit of our rural population. There is no State in the Union whose soil and climate is better adapted to the culture and growth of this plant than North Carolina. I have observed its culture, growth and manufacture in many of the countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, and also on the Island of Sicily. But nowhere have I seen it produced in greater luxuriance than in the Southern States. It grows spontaneous and prolific all through these States. This industry once inaugurated in North Carolina will eventually prove one of the most important branches of our agricultural and manufacturing en terprises. During my stay here I have made the acquaintance of the correspondent of the Midland Times, Mr. Thos. W. Johnson, who is a citizen of East Sag inaw, and the senior partner of John son, Goodell & Co., the most extensive manufacturers of tannion extract; in the United States. While in their office I have been shown samples of the sumac extract and have since vis ited the factory where the extract is made. The process for making the extract is extremely simple aud much less difficult and expensive than the pro cess for preparing the ground sumac for market. Much more tannir is ob tained from the plant by making it into extract, as all, or nearly all of it is utilized. Whereas in the grinding process only the leaves and sprouts are used. Now, Mr. Editor, if the industry is important to the people of other States, it is peculiarly so the people of North Carolina, who arc so greatly favored both by the adaptability of soil and climate'. The demaud is abundant for all that can be made, and the profits to be derived from the pro duct mo3t unusual. Respectfully, Jas. V." White, of Raleigh, N. C. Editor Times : In response to numerous articles published in various journals I have been overwhelmed with letters of iu quiry from parties in all parts of the conutry, who ask for information as to cultivation aud process of preparing the ground or pulverizing sumac for market us practiced abroad. In answer to inquiries as to the cul tivation of the plant as practiced in Sicily and their mode of manufactur ing it for use, I forward herewith an article taken from the Shoe and Leather Reporter on the ' subject, which is full, comprehensive and ac curate. It is as follows: There are in Paermo fifteen sumac mills, twelve of which are now run by steam. The grinding is done by stones revolving on a bed of the same. They produce every year 20,000 tons of sumac, valued at about 1,250,000, or say C"6j a ton iu the storehouse for all kinds. The wages of the employes are said to be about three shillings or seventy-five cents a day. The export has doubled in the past tnree years. It is u&ed in all the morocco factories iu Europe, aud considerable quantities come to tlie United States. No doubt the superiority of Sicily sumac lies in the mode of cultivating it, all the leaves Are the production of the young sprouts that spring up from the stump every year. In Sicily they plant the roots from two to three feet apart, in rows about three feet, so that the plow or harrow can save the hand labor of the hoe. They hoe it two or three times before the rains finish in May, and gather it in July and August. The leaves are the only parts used. The soil is pre pared as for potatoes, with furrows, with which, during November, De cember and January, are plajsed the young suckers, two and a half feet apart. In August of the first year the leaves on the lower part of the branches are drawn off with the thumb and finger, leaving a tube on the top. In October the whole head is taken off, or sometimes broken and left hanging by the bark till dry. The second year, in June, the branches are stripped of ripe leaves; and in August as soon as the whole plant is mature, it is cut with a sickle down to six inches. It is then spread out and thoroughly dried on each side till cured. The June gathering is omitted when the plants are not strong. Two thousand pounds of ground sumac to an acre is considered a good crop. After the root or stump is cut off five or six sprouts spring out of each root, and when at maturity, which is in July or August, they are cut off at the stumps. In Sicily the article is more or less adulterated with spurious stuff, such as other kinds of leaves and an article called "bucca," which re sembles the juniper bush of New Eng land. This has no value in itself. The Sicily sumac mills consist of perpendicular running stones weighing nearly 3,000 pounds. They run double or single round an upright shaft. The foundation stone ia one third x 1 . I J 1 . 1 greater in diameter man the running stones, ana tuey are oi volcanic forma tion, as hard as marble. The grinding surface is slightly roughened. The su mac is bolted and jacked as mrch as it is with us. I suppose that most of the ieonle of this country understand that the same plant abounds in all countries border ing the shores of the Mediterranean Sea, and that on the island of Sicily, and in some f the Rarbary States it has been brought by cultivation to jts highest state of perfection for the use of tanners and dyers, and also for its preparation for these uses. The plant has constituted the staple tanning agent of all the people border ing the Mediterranean from time im memorial. The leather trappings con nected with the ancient armor of the I'hecnicans, Egyptians, Carthagenians, Greeks and Romans, relics of which arc to be seen in Westminister Abbey in a good State of preservation indicate that these ancient people had attained a high dagree of per fection in the art of manufac turing leather, and that the princi pal tanning agent used in its produc tion was the sumac. There are now kept on exhibition in glass cases in the Antiquarian Halls in the city of Cor dova, full sets of Moorish hoise trap pingssaddles, bridles, &c, in good 1 state of preservation, which at the j time of the expulsion of th M,w from Spain, had been preserved by the infidels for more than five centuries, in memory of celebrated Saracen Knights, or Moorish warriors by whom they were used. Mr. Irving says this leather has every appearance of having been tanned with sumac. There is certainly no tanning agent used in the manufacture of leather when properly used that imparts to it greater firmness and flexibility. The liquors, however, should be kept sweet, a matter quite difficult where ground sumac is used, which is so lia ble to fermentation. Our knowledge of the manufacture of morocco was derived from the Moors, who brought with them into Spain a higher perfection in many of the manufacturing arts, than was then known to the people of Europe. Tangi ers.Tunis andMorocco at that time were the localities of their fancy leather munufacturing establishments, which is evidenced by tradition and other in disputable proofs. Sumac, which grows luxurianily in that empire, was undovbtedly the great staple tn.nT.ing agent of their leather products. This plant is more highly impreg nated with tannin and coloring prinoi ple tliau ray other known vegetable product These properties increase and decrease in . the plant as it ap- E roaches or recedes from the tropica, nt to what extent I am unable to say. The different kinds of oak bark of Virginia yield from four to eight per cent, of tannin principle, while the sumac plant of ' that and the Gulf States yields from thirty to thirty-five per cent, of tannin. The hemlock of the Northern States yields from ten to thirteen per cent, of tannin properties, while the uncultivated sumac plant J grows in the same latitudes produces j from twenty to twenty-five per cent. ; of tannin properties. The hemlock south of the thirty-eighth parallel is almost worthless for tanning purposes, as is the ouk grown north of the forty third parallelh I have traveled through most of the States and some of the Territories, and know from personal observation that the tannin sumac that bearing the red blossom, or red bob is produced in all these States and Territories. I have seen it used by tanners in Min nesota and in some of the British pro vinces, and have myself used it in equal parts with hemlock, in the man ufacture of calf skins, to considerable extent north of the forty-third parallel. I found it imparted greater weight to my skins, more firmness and flexibility giving to them a tint or color mora ac ceptable to the trade than though tan ned with hemlock only. The value of this shrub or plant to the manufacturing and commercial in terests of the country which grows spontaneous and luxuriant in all the States will be better appreciated by those who more fully realize the col ossal proportions to which the manu facture of leather has attained in this country, and the wonderful augmenta tion of tbe industry each succeeding year. This industry, with all its col lateral and dependant branches, is prosecuted to its largest extent in the Middle and Eastern States, to which States the supremacy in the manufac ture is guaranteed for an indefinite fu ture, by considerations notlikely to be overcome, notwithstanding the time is not distant when these older States will become wholly depleted of the staple tannin agent the hemlock which is used almost wholly in the manufacture of the heavier grades of leather, which enters largely into the manufacture of most varieties of their light and fancy stocks. With the year ly augmentation of the leather trade in these States, and the growing inade quacy of the material upon which it now mainly relies for present use, aud to meet the increasing wants, the de mand for sumac will proportionally increase with other material which must supply the deficiency. As a coloring aarent, sumac is the most valuable material used by dyers in producing their choicest colors. It forms the ground colors of the choicest fabrics made in prints. The demand, already large, lor these uses iu our Eastern manufacturing town is rapidly enlarging. Unlike our forests of hem lock and oak, which when once de stroyed if ever reproduced it re quires ages to bring them to maturity, the sumac plant, though cut to the ground eaoli year, like the vegetation in our fields and pastures, puts forth again with the opening seasons, and m autumn is again ready for the harvest, and tho manufacturer, thus insuring undiminished and perpetual supplies. Thos. W. Johxson. From tho Fitdnio-it Piet. Trtitlt About Ifa.lt! JVIoiiiiiaiii. Tor of Bald Moustiax, April 20th, 1871. Dear Press: Nearly all that has yet been published about our volcano is false. The only reliable account has the signature of the undersigned blown in the bottom, as it were. All others are base imitations. A careful census shows twenty-seven newspaper correspondents lingering 1 here, ostensibly waiting for an erup tion, but really tarrying until their currency is sufficiently inflated to per mit them to return home by rail. To convince you that there is a vol cano here, I inclcse a leaf plucked from a bush growing at its base. The mountain's prefix "Bald" is certainly a misnomer, because an Englishman who has just arrived at its summit, says there's plenty of 'air on top of it. The last rumbling was heard a week ago. Last night I was awakened by a terrible rumbling and a very percepti ble wobbling of the house. The ex citement for a brief period was in tense, and I had fourteen pages of foolscap covered with a graphic ac count of the eruption before it was discovered that the frightful noise proceeded from an adjoining room and was caused by a thrifty old Gran ger from Cabarrus county, punctuat ing his dreams with a few'able-bodied snores. The noises now heard in the Bald Mountain are not a new occurrence. A "reliable old gentlemen" who, you doubtless remember, figured extensive ly during the late fratricidal war now nearly seventy years of age, in forms me that he distinctly remembers hearing a similar rumbling in the Mountain more than one hundred yeas ago; the noise sounded like that made by a blast whiph statement may sound like a blasfc-ed exaggeration. The mountain has converted all the natives in this vicinity, and they pray every day pray that the volcano may not erupt until a Congressional Inves tigating Committee are within a lava ishing distance of its crater. An Irish representative of the press says it wouldn't be the first time a Congres sional Committee were within a lav ishing distance of th.e "crater." Not a single newspaper reporter has been converted. Nor a married one either. A regiment of Bald-headed Mountains, all in excellent rumbling condition, wouldn't crook the knees of a veteran reporter. The enemies of the administration are hrru in their belief that this new evil is forced upon them by a Radical President, They assert that Bald Mountain never rumbled and fright ened people into religion, under a Dem ocratic administration. And this is probably true. A physician who paid ten dollars for his diploma in Philadelphia-, arrived hero this morning. When told that the rumblings and groanings emanated from the bowels of the mountain, he suggested tht the mountain be given a handful of cathartic pills everv two hours, and a mustard plaster be clapped on where it will do the most good. He is supposed to be insane. Should Bald Mountain commence to belch forth fire and ashes and things, the Governor of North Carolina will telegraph tho President for troops to suppress the eruption. Barnum's agent is here. He wants to lease the mountain three or four years and add it to the attractions of his great travelling show. The foregoing particulars were gleaned after a prodigious sight of la bor and expense. While all must ad mit that the situation is critical, I don' think tho mountain will burst as long as a cashier is employed to run it. Yours, Don. Passengeis from Old Fort, by yes terday's train.report that several severe shocks were felt at Old Fort, Monday night. The shocks were the severest yet felt, and th a citizens made consid erable demonstrations of alarm. Commenting upon tho President's veto the Chicago Inter-Ocean says: With the small majority in the Sen ate for the bill, there is little reasonto hope that it can be passed notwith standing the veto ; but we hope the friends of free banking in the Senate will now take up the House ' bill, amend it judiciously, and that the House will Bend that to the President, with their compliments, and give New York and New England another op portunity to iihow whether they are potential above all the rest of the country at the Executive Mansion, HILLSBORO. HiixsBOBo, April 21st, 187 "Editors Journal .- '.v, For the first time within the last week the weather is propitin. It is really bright, beautiful and bracing this morning, aud m ikes confinement to tlie house a hideom bore. Tho vain of Sunday pnt up the streams again to high water mark, and ym nny look out again for the red wat rn of the up country to stain the c!eur tide of your part of the Cape Fear. I hear of no damage, but the con tinued rains retard farming operations very much, and threaten to give the wheat too vigorous a growth. This looks beautifully just now, and almost the first time since the war, there is a prospect of a bountiful crop. But wheat is subject to many casualties, and it is unsafe to rely on any prom ises until it has passed through its bloom. We had two occasions of interest last week which broke the weary mo notony of existence, and gave us some thing to talk about for a few days at least. The first was the lecture or ad dress of Major Rob't Bingham, de livered by virtue of an invitation ex tended by a committee of citizens, ou the snbjeet of temperance and prohi bition. The hall of the Masonic Lodge was crowded to its utmost ca pacity, the ladies constituting a large portion of the audience. Mej. B. is very popular here, and his lecture last year on the "Anglo Saxon Race" made so marked an impression that, though the night was dark and the walking execrable, no one was willing to forego the pleasure of hearing him. The address was fully up to expec tation, in fact beyond it, for no one ex pected to find novelty in so trite a sub ject as temperance; while, in fact, the lecturer by his originality of treatment and boldness of views, did invest his theme with the charm of freshuesn. Maj. Bingham is a loyal worshipper of Anglo-Saxon superiority in every thing. But he thinks the Creator has endowed 'him above all the rest of mankind, with a brain already stimu lated to the highest point of intellect ual activity. That brain needs no artificial aid to the accomplishment of its purposes. Alcoholic stimulus acts upon such an organization as fuel to an already consuming flame. But by a singular fatuity, this race craves above all others for this fatal fuel. The craving becomej a vice, a nation al one, which becomes a fit subject for legal restraint g. Upon the subject of individual rights, the inaiu argument against restraint, the lecture was clear learned and con vincing. But I would consume too ninch time in further notice of an ud- dress, wmcii is unanimously pro nounced the best temperance lecture ever heard here; calm, moderate, en tirely free from fanaticism and at the same time clothed in beauty of lan guage and aptness of illustration, which made it as fascinating to the scholar, as it was agreeable to the un learned. The second occasion of interest was a contest between the "Boys in Gray" Base Ball Club from Bingham school, and the "Independent" club of Horner & Graves, The weather, fortunately, behaved itself for a few hours, and a large crowd of spectators were pres ent, including niauy ladies, among whom I observed all the young ladies from Misses Nash and Miss Kollock's school. The game was well played and the players pretlyevenly matched, though the "Boyn in Gray" complain of the interpolatioi of two outsiders, by whose superior playing the game was decided. The Independent's were victorious, scoring G3 to 2G by their opponents. If you have farther curi osity about particulars, I refer you to the Recorder of to-day, which has the score in full. Tobacco active and sales verj' fair during the past week, and our market begins to attract more attentios from the farmers. C. TCRUIULi: IIUIIT IX A I. A II A .T A , A Wolf Attacks a Hunter A row EcBpc. Sar- Mr. George Godfrey, a young man who resides atGnerryton, Ala., started out alone early Wednesday morning on a hunting expedition iu the direc tion of Hurtvilje. He had not pro ceeded far in a swarip on CJol. Gach et's plantation before he discovered a large wolf making towards him with fearful rapidity. He fired his gun at the animal at the distance of twenty paces, but missed his aim. He fired the second barrel when the wolf was in ten steps. This took effect iu the animal's shoulder, but. without much effeot, as the gun was loaded with small squirrel shot. The wolf, undaunted, sprang on his victim with all the ferocity natural to such a beast when in a ravenous state. Mr. Godfrey used his gun with all the dexterity and skill of a brave man. The wolf, in his first leap, seized Mr. G. by the left arm, burying Ins teeth deep into his left jaw. Mr. G. sprang to the right, tearing away the hold of the animal, and nearly severing an ar tery. He nearly felled the beast to the ground, but before he could strike a second time the wolf was on him, forcing Mr. G., who from loss of blood was quite weak and greatly exbauted, to the ground, lacerating his arms, bi e 1st and face with frightful gashes. Mr. G. made a desperate effort and regained his feet, and inflicted another blow on the animal, which so stunned it that the monster withdrew sullenly from the contest. Mr. G., nearly exhausted, managed to make his way back to the railroad, Vhere he secured assistance which enabled him to return home, Dr. Reynolds, who dressed the wounds, pronounced none of them dangerous, excert one near the heart, which is supposed to have been caused in the last encounter. The condition of Mr. G. is very critical, but hopes are entertained of his speedy recovery. He is a young man, aud a useful mem ber of society. Several young meu and experienced Florida hunters have gone in pursuit of the wolf, and expect to come Bp with it on one of tho plantations of Col. Gachet. Mr. Perry Spencer and Dr. Persons have had frequent depredations on their hogs by some wild animals in and around their places. The prospects are that the wolf mav be captured, as all the hunters in the country are very ambitious of effepting its capture. Columbus Enquirer. Railroad laws have been passed by Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin. It le mains to be seen whether they will relieve the farmer. It is sai'l that some of the piiucipal roads in Wis consin have determined to disregard the law, which goes into effect on the 1st of next month. This will bring on a fight. Tho way it will be done is thus given: If a ticket agent refusing to accept the fare fixed by law is ar rested and punished, they will close the ticket ouipe in which ho is sta tioned; and if a freight agent is prof ecuted, they will clote the freight of fice. The trains will run by the sta tions at which the offence is given without stopping, and leave the peo ple who are dissatisfied with their rates without any railroad facilities at all. It is probable that a similar pol icy will be adopted by other roads in the same State, and it is easy to see that such a course will create a more bitter feeling than has yet shown it self in the war which has already waged hotly in the West between the Grangers and the railroads. A colored Mississippi legislator lately proposed a bill to make each member of the Legislature, present and future, a bona fide attorney and counsellor at law. His reasoning was direct ; "For," said he, "if we know enough to make de laws, why don't we practice urn?" Sure enough, -whyj Heath to the Party. The New York Tribune gives it as its opiijiou that the indications of serious break up in tue old party liu s in case wbt it calls the inflation schemes b-cme law, ore growing stronger every day. It says : Republican journals in uli sections are warning the party leaders that they are in the most serious crisis sii.c; the rebellion, and th t if the Republican Congress and a Itc publicau iVe-udt'tit takes the suit? of iiifLttion Hit? p.n tv'b doom will be seal -d. There is something on the same line from the New Haven Journal and Cou rier. N That paper says : We trust that the Republican party will not bo found wanting in this cri sis. It cannot afford to weaken itself much more than it already has. Many of its old friends have deserted it al ready, and very many more are only waiting" to go if the party shall prove faithless to its principles iu this try ing time. Let the party do so if it dare ! The most remarkable uLtciances in this way are from Harper's Weekly, which undertakes to forecast the fu ture of the Republican party. Refer ring to Senator Morton's position on tbe financial question, it predicts the destruction of the party : This was the faith of the nation. This was the solemn pledge of the Re publican party. It was bound by its words to make prompt provision for the redemption of the greenback cur rency. Under the lead of Mr. Morton in the Senate it has deliberately, in the words of his fellow-leader, Mr. Conkling, refused to do so. The party has by this vote passed a bill which "departs from the principles of hon esty and solvency." We believe that Mr. Conkling speaks for the great mass of those who have hitherto sup ported the Republican party, and that Mr. Morton's policy, if it prevails, will certainly destroy that party. The Atlantic Kailroart I mbros'lio. The newly appointed directors of this road have held several meetings during the past week. The directors present were: Messrs. Manly, Humph rey, Moore, Rhodes, King, Da-'is, Leh man and Harppr, on the part of the State, Mr. W. T. Faircloth, on the part of the stockholders. The Board organized by the election of Mr. R. W. King as President. On motion of Col. Humphrey a reso lution was unanimously adopted re scinding all action of the old Board in reference to the lease to the so-called Midland; also the followincr: "It is the sense of this Board that a consolidated line of railwav 'rom Morehead City to Paint Rock is iu the interest of the several companies and in the interest of the people of this State. But this Board will not for ward, but will endeavor to prevent auy mode of consolidation which will not secure a fair compensation to the pri vate stockholders for their stock, that is to 8113-, at least $10 per share." Under instructions from the Board, Mr. King, the newly elected Pres: deut, made demand upon Mr. Stanly for possession of the road, which was refused. Col. Humphrey left lure for irw bern ou Saturday, and we learu that he has instituted proceedings which will plao' the new Beard in early posse sion of the road. Col. II. is assisted by Messrs. George V. II. Haughton. Stt ng and Juo. Judge Green has been appointed Receiver by Judge Clarke, aud the road will probably be turned over to him to-day. At any rate ho will make the demand this morning, and if re fused, the parties so refusing will be guilty of contempt of court. Goldsboro Jeasuiifcr. Cremation Items. One of the points brought forward against cremation is that it removes the possibility of proving the presence 01 poisons in dead bodies in such criminal cases where suspicion requires the exhumation aud subsequent chemi t ... . cai examination 01 a corpse. Cremation clubs are being formed in several portions of the country The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle says "Several gentlemen of this city pro pose orguniz ng a cremation club some time during the coming week. They number alreadv six or eight, and have embraced the cause with enthusiasm. We learn that they have written to several well-known gentlemen of this and other States, asking their opinion of the movement." The Becond case of cremation iu this country has just been reported. How infinitely pathetic is the simple state ment of the bereaved story: DearJune is pnnf, nivriar ing ln, Mie wm cinel yt-Vterilm ; t at the winit npct the tiwuio-cvi, Aud blew her ashe nw.iy. Cremation makes light ot a grave subject. Harah Arm l- tit as he.r nunc, She lived anil lial without k t-lniMt-r; Hud flie surviveo the fuu.-ral tianio ohe would have been f Sal AmaiK'.i. It only takes three hours and about half a cord of wood to put a million aire into a very small glass bottle. The only difficulty to be apprcheuded is the inevitoble increase of family jars. One fatal objection to cremation is that our great men, whom we safely get r d of by burial, would be contin ually "rising, rhopnix-like, from their ashes." The wind has gone into the crusad ing business at Brooklyn, Jackson county, Mich. Lately it took down an undeitaker's sign from its fastenings, and deposited it in front of a whisky shop, informing passers by that "Cof fins and caskets were furnished at short notice. Tho bill appropriating 83,000,000 for the centennial exposition showed much more strength in the House than even its friends had anticipated. By a vote of one hundred and fifty four ayes to sixty-six nays it was made the special order for the 5th of May to the exclusion of all other business, except the appropriation bills. Tnis, however, cannot be taken as a test vote upon the bill, since many voted to give it a hearing, who will, in the end, vote against it. A balky horse is understood to be an animal which, when harnessed, re fuses to start. Various expedients, many of them cruel, are resorted to in order to overcome such obstinacy, and it may, therefore, be well enough to please note the California method. It is to put a rope under tho horse's body, behind his fore legs, aud to let two men. one at each end. draw the rope backward and forward, as if "sawing," at tho legs. It must not be done too roughly, but still with force suflicient. llio annual, t. something ho does not understand, will soon move a few steps, and, after a lengthened but quiet application of such a "persuasive" p-ocess, vi!l not fail to move on.

As it is based upon swindling, so in swindling it not un frequently ends. Late y one George Hemming, living in Coventry, advertised for sale sermons "suited to different tchools of thought in the Fs tablished Church." IIb also adver tised for ladies in quest of "genteel employment" and willing to serve as sermon copyists in his factory. He required, however, of every applicant a sum of money as a guar an tv of fi delity, and between 5U0 and 700 wo men each sent him half a sovereign; at least within a fortnight he received that number of letters. Mr. Hemming then, without any hawing, improved the favorable moment to abscond, He was caught, however, and will for one year reside in jail, where he will have an excellent opportunity of studying theology in general and sermon-making in particular, and where he can, if so disposed, try his merchandise upon his fellow prisoners.
