But soon her body seemed to be reanimated, and presently, after some effort and in a changed tone of voice, she said : " It is noticeable, there is some things which is noticeable, and worthy of our attention." This sentence seemed to serve us a text, or rathtr motto, for a discourse, which lasted about an hour and a half. If any one who reads this ever heard an old-fashioned orthodox sermon, forty or fifty years ago, deliv ered by an uneducated preacher and thrown together without reference to matter or arrangement, he has a fair idea of the discourse to which we list ened for a mortal hour and a half. It seemed to us that some old-time coun try preacher was attempting, " in ear nest tones and grave," to address his " dying audience, fellow-travelers to the bar of God." The speaker assert ed that the Captain of our salvation would " come to set down sectarianism, self-bigotry, self-ism.self-righteousness, selt-know-nounngism; tuat "many AGRICULTURAL.

The hand that sides the peas, will need a heavy twenty-six inch sweep, with the right wing set at medium height, and should run it near the peas, and fill the pea furrow entirely up ; the left wing should be up, to puah the dirt near the corn. This is the last plowing, and if well done, the ground will be as smooth and evel as a lloor, with not a 6pear of grass to the 200 acres, nor a weed to be seen in the field. .

A Shrewd Detective Play a Sharp Trick A Confi dence Game Arrest of the Alledffcd Robber Ad rcutnrcs of a Baltimore Drummer. Allusion has already been made in the Courier to an extensive robbery of the Express company, which took place at Laurensville. S. C, on the 14th of August. In obedience to the request of the Company, officer Coates of . the Detective force repaired to the scene of the robbery, and having ferreted out the robber, returned to the city on Saturday. From officer Coates wo gather the following particulars of the robbery end arrest : P. II. Scott, a mesrenger in the em ploy of the Company on the Laurens ville Railroad, was on the 14tu or August handed a package of money ; amounting to $289 88, in which there were three fitly dollar bills, with in structions to deliver it at Martin's Do- pot The package was not delivered, nor was it entered on f3wt' toole. . On the following Monday, the 16th instant, he went to the store of one Mr. Miles, in Laurensville, and asked him, Mr. M., if he wanted some largo bills. Mr. Miles thought he did want them, and Scott going out, returned in a short time with two fifty-dollar bills. for which he received small bills in exchange. About an hour afterwards while in a bar room, Scott accidental ly displayed another fifty-dollar buL On that same evening he received $1,800 in a package, which he locked up in the Express Company's safe in the depot, which was also locked, abouf. nine o'clock that evening he was met by a fiiend going in the di rection of the depot, and when asked where he was going, replied that he had a pressing engagement and asked his friend to await his returning.

About twenty-three years ago she was suddenly taken ill, as was suppos ed, and while in an unconscious state delivered a relitrious discourse, 1 rom that timo until tho prose nt theso spells have come upon her regularly every two weeks. At first they occurred on week days, but for the past twenty . i .i years tuey nave lnvariauiy nappeneu on Sunday, at about 1U, a. m. ror a long time thehou3e was crowded on her preaching days, but latterly the novelty of tho case has ceased to excite tho wonder of the neighborhood, and those who now attend her proach'ng are mostly persons from a distance. But rain or shine, summer or winter, wheth er there be a crowd or only her own family present, sho regularly passes into an unconscious state, and delivers a religious discourse, always one hour to an hour, and thirty minutes in dura tion. Slio always feels unwell for hours before and after tho delivery of a 6ermon. She says that she feels a painful, pricking sensation in the right half of her body, which begins soveral an . hours bolore, ana lasts i:ntil uncon sciousness takes place. Between these spells sho feels perfectly well, and per- orms her household labors as vigor ously as if she were many years young er than sho really is being now in her sixty-second year. She thinks that the 4 spells which come upon her are caused by the stroke of lightning re ceived when she was IS ; but sho attri butes tho speaking to Divino powor, and pays she has always struggled against tho wonderful influence which comes over her. She affirms most sol emnly that fihe is not conscious, before nor after hor discourses, of a single word tho utters. Indeed, it was a long timo before her family and friends could convince her that she spoke at all while in this strango stato of utter obliviousness, as to what is passing in tho outer world around her. W hen in her normal state 6he cannot bear to heir music neither vocal nor instru mental. When attending church she is compelled to retire during the time of singing, but the " spell' came upon her so rapidly that 6he was forced to leave the house of worship, else she hersolf might have been the preacher on the occasion. So sensitive is her nervous system that she cannot bear to hear any loud, sharp noist. On the occasion of our visit we arriv ed at the family residence about 8 o'clock in the morning, and were cour teously received by Mr. Birney and his wife. She was sitting in an arm rock ing-chairiy the side of a bed, and ta king an occasional hup of what seemed to be some kind of tea. Tho influence was coming upon her, but 6he was able to converse with us more than half an hour. In the meantime she kept rub bmg the right side, and occasionally also the lett side ot her forehead. She seemed finally to suffer considerable pain, and at about 10 o'clock she be came very pale, her system relaxed, her hoad fell upon her breast, and she was as powerless as a sleeping infant.
