'EXCIft&G ©KAMA IN NORCROSS. RAMBLER REVEALED —OUR SENIOR “UP IN CHURCH’’ —HOT TIMES ANO HOTTER COMING. ' On last Friday morning it was rumored there would be a Church trial in the Bap list Church on that night. On inquiry we learned to our great astonishment, that our senior editor, Hon. Jas. P. Simmons, was charged with something, our infors ’ mant knew not what. We immediately called upon Col. Simmons, who stated he had on that morning been notified that he was on Church trial and that his presence was desired on the following night, but that he did not know what the charge was, and therefore should await proceedings in accordance with the rules of his church The Colonel did not attend the informal ronfcrcnc’ on Friday; but knowing the fur was up and also wishing to see a gen tleman expected to be present, we de t nnined to be on hand. We went, but 'was informed the meeting was private, and consequently our presence was not de. sired. On that night U appears that our “Ram bler,” who turns out to be a no less per sonage than Rev. Wm. M. Davis, the Pas tor of the Baptist church, procured a meet ing of a few members of the Church in conference extraordinary and the assent of “a majority” of those present to a reso lution censuring our Senior for heresy, and “without his knowledge 01 consent.” Our “Rambler” ramblei upon heresy, so called, on the 295 page of our Senior’s book—War in Heaven, and affirms that said heresy consists in his “teaching” that Christ “was not a man in any sense and that He had no human soul. ” On Sunday morning at 11 o’clock, an audience of the common size for that par ticular Sabbath ih the month assembled in the church. After the usual ceremonies, the Rev. Mr. Davis arose and read a lengthy lecture touching upon the sub stance in the above charge as an introduc tion to 111,3 sentence he, as it seemed, hoped to have the privilege of pronouncing a* the close thereof, upon his supposed vic tim. At the close of this lecture w hich fell still-born upon the little audience, a church meeting was announced next in order, and permission was granted the convict to show cause, if he had any, why the judgment of the court should not be passed upon him. Having some experience in legal -proceedings he moved to arrest the judg ment and for a New Trial on the follows grounds, among others: that he had a right to be heard before conviction—That the whole proceeding was in violation of the rules of their church, and that he had no relish for the hanging business. [ Laugh ter]. He Insisted also, that, if permitted, he could show that the first clause of the ehargo was untrue, tod that Jn the last there is no heresy. After a number of speeches wer£ made, some of which were hotter than others, but all to the point, It was determined to postpone execution of the sentence one month and that Rev. Dre. Tucker aftd War ren of Atlanta should be invited to help get the affair right side up on Saturday tafere the third Sunday in November. It wm then announced that our Senior would itefivei a lecture next Sunday iff reply to the one which Rev. Mr. Davis read on that day. X\e besja'ak fur him a large audience. Wf understand a crews bill of iudktment will be filed, charging divers and sundrv things against the Rev. Mr. Daria, and which are by no means cmnpli ttentarv to the Parson, and which will doubries make him regret that he has made "War in Heaven'' a pretense for a war in Church.

THE CLOSING EXERCISES OF GOSHEN SCHOOL. COLONEL ’GEO. 11. HOPKINS —THREE INTELLECTUAL and beautiful girl S—a scholarship in NORCROSS ftl&li SCHOOL. On last Thursday morning we, in com pany with the majority of the students and teachers of Norcross High School, set out on foot for Goshen School-house, about two miles distant. The morning was in deed pleasant. Our road ran nearly all the way through the forest, which was made to resound with the voices of a gleeful, happy, merry-making crowd. We reached Goshen about ten o’clock, and were as signed one-fourth of the h use for our accommodation. We then witnessed the examination of a class of boys and young ladies in arithme’lc, punctuation, reading »nd spelling. They did well in all, but especially well in spelling. Col. Hopkins remarked that he attached more import ance to teaching spelling than most of modern teachers; and when he had fin ished examining his class, the audience were fully impressed with the fact that he had done his work thoroughly. We have never witnessed a more gratifying exami nation. There was in the class a little boy and a little girl who had commenced spelling in February; neither of them missed a single word. It was surprising to hear them spell with such ease and accu racy. The morning exercises closed at 12 o’clock, and the audience were invited to a large table well supplied with palatable, wholesome victual^ —just such victuals as only farmers’ wives can prepare. We en joyed it, all enjoyed it. After the intermission all reassembled and listened to a highly satisfactory exami nation on geography and English grammar. Composition reading then began by the in troduction of Miss Shadie Collins, who read a brief and interesting essay on “Duty is Pleasure. ” She was followed by Miss L. L. Massey, who impressed the import ance of “Diligence, Truth and Virtue.” Then came “Flowers”—an excellent com position by Miss Laura Wallace. The young ladies acquitted themselves in a highly creditable manner. Their move ments were graceful; their features calm; their spirits buoyant, and their voices soft and distinat. They showed they have intel lect- lots of brains and big hearts. '1 hey deserve a thorough education, and have a flattering prospect for obtaining* it, Ac cording to' agreement with the principal of Norcross High School, all preparatory schools have a scholarship in his institu tion. This scholarship is awarded the best student. In accordance with this agree ment, Miss Lucinda Lola Massey was awarded the scholarship, and we arc glad to learn she will at once avail herself of it. During the proceedings it was learned that all three of young ladies were the daughters of widow women who ar? in very moderate circumstances. Whereupon the Principal extended them the advant ages of Norcross High School free of tui tion, and the venerable, big hearted Dr. Thomas Boring proffered to beard one of them for three years free of charge. It is highly probable that the trio will now ob tain an education which they are pecu niarily unable t > obtain, and which they have proffered them solely because of their individual, inherent worth. Th’s is frkk education, and the ©net kind of free education that is commendable in indivi duals or nations. Hklt tile deserving is our motto. After an address, (to which reference is made in an article in another column, and which is inserted by urgent request qf those who heard it,) Colonel Hopkins informed the patrons that he could not longer con tinue the school. We regret this. lie has taught twenty-eight years! A large ma jority of the middle aged men and women of all this portion of Gwinnett have re ceived their education from him. A man of stem integrity, high purpose, energy and experience, we regret his abandonment of that profession which can alone work out the great problems before the people of America. But he has passed into the even ing of his life, and desires henceforth to spend his days in quiet, meditation and thought, hi his retirement we wish h : m much abiding happiness, and hope his many pupils all through this country may emulate his noble example. ■*> A LOST HORSE THIEF. We were informed last evening of a strange occurrence of recent data, which we give as related. On Saturday last, a man who had been attending the United States Court here, probably under indictment for illicit dis tilling, left the city uudcr circumstances which looked very much like running away. He went to Norcross, and there stole a valuable horse from a citizen and continued uis way. The citizen soon dis- i covered his loss and started in pursuit. He captured his num and returned to Norcross with the horse. When asked what he hail ; done with his prisoner, his only reply was j that he had lust him. No further informa tion as to ihe disposition of the thief could be obtained. As there arc more ways than one -of losing a prisoner, and as this case > is certainly strange, it will stand a little investigation by our Norm ss friends. Otft- informant was, unfortunately, una ble to give the name of cither of the par ties,—Atlanta Constitution, 16th. There has been no horse stolen in Nor cross. There is a rumor here that the horse referred to by the Constitution W» stolen on the road octween here «w»d Atlan ta, and that Hie owner pursued the thief through the place, and camo in sight of i him just after he had crossed the Chatta- I lukklkn'.

There are times in life when we seem to live over the past again ; when we seem to walk by the streams, roam over the hills, and engage in the sports that wore familiar to us in childhood. There are occasions and circumstances which awake many a hallowed memory and stir many a tender feeling. “Oh I what a world of beauty fades away With the winged hours of youth ! ” Such a time and occasion, and such cir cumstances, the writer enjoyed Thursday afternoon last at Goshen Church, near Norcross, while attending the closing ex ercises of Colonel Hopkins’ School. How well the writer remembers the hewn-log school house where he first went to school, the path down the hill to the bubbling spring, the blacksmith's shop near by, and the noble old forest in which he played “deer” with his youthful comrades. The writer arrived too late to hear all the pupils examined, but not too late to be convinced that the students of the Goshen School had been well trained this year at least. Os the three compositions that were read, I will only say that they would have been creditable to some who claim to be adepts in writing and men of understanding. After the examination was finished we listened to a speech from Prof. Vincent. I will preface my remarks about this ad dress with the statement that a number of persons requested the speaker to publish his address in The Norcross Advance. He began his address by alluding, in complimentary terms, to the efficient labors of Colonel Hopkins during this year. The students had exhibited a more thorough acquaintance with their branches of study than was often shown by the pupi's of many high schools. Three of the girls of the school, daughters of widows, had re ceived the highest grade of scholarship. Sh ime on the man who says he cannot educate his children. The teacher had an important work to do in elevating oui people—a work that could not be done either by politicians or by the clergy. Politicians were too often base time-servers; they worked for the present. The teacher supplied valuable material for the minister of the gospel. The preacher was most successful among those who had been properly trained in the school. Ti.e teacher who sought only to develop the intellectual faculties o£ his pupil, was neglecting a very important part of his work. To give the scholar symmetry of character, to enable him to develop har moniously all the powers and faculties of his nature, to elevate toys and girls to true manhood and womanhood—these wer ■ ob jects 'hat the teacher should always have in vi'!*. The writer does not pretend to give a full and correct synopsis of the address. It was appropriate to the place and orca-ion, and delivered with grace and deep pathos. While the speaker has I een devoting his attention mainly to teaching for the past few years, be has evident!. been practicing the art of the speaker. At'Jeast, the speech above alluded to conveyed this impression. The afternoon we spent pleasantly, and ! the writer returned feeling glad that he went to hear the address and witness the exercises. G. COMPLIMENTARY. “We learn from the Norcross Advance that Miss Sallie Foster, da g iter of a dis tinguished South Carolinian, has received the highest reward for her skill as au artist m the Norcross High School. Mrs. Nor ryce presides over the music and art de» pnrtment, a d her proficiency in th se branches will give that institution a cha ac ter never accorded it before in these par ticulars. Prof. J. U. Vincent, a )>erfect genius, with nil the culture that books can afford, is principal of the School. His ability as a teacher is far-famed, as his instruction is thorough and lasting, lie takes the mind, as it were a piece of metal, and gives it shape and symmetry imbedding jewels therein, which will glitter with brilliant ideas.”—West. Point News. “Brother Vincent, of the Norcross Ad vance, is doin ' good service for the coun try in writing upon the subject of cconmon Schools. In the last issue of his paper he hsis a sensible article, in which he shows the evils of the present public school system in Georgia, and that he will continue to discuss the question, and to urge a change in the educational policy of the State. lie being a first class teacher himself, it is eminent’y proper that he should undertake the task; and we have no doiibt but what he wll perform it well. We indorse his views, and would lie glad to copy his arti cles it we have room.”—Standard & Ex press. “Mr. John Beats.—We notice with plea sure the name of this gentleman at the head of the Local Column of the Norcross Ad vance. Mr. Blats has. for some time past, been a resident of Atlanta, and often at work in the Constitution office, where be has never failed to discharge his duty thor oughly. With his many friends we are gratifictl that be has secured his position as Local Editor of a first-cl ss journal, such as the Advance, and feel certain that he will make his column as readable as any m the country.”—Atlanta Constitution. Mrs. E. A. Massey, tenders her most sincere thanks to Prof. Vincent for his compliments to her daughter, together with the rest of the young ladies on Thursday. Her daughter accepts the scholarship in his school, and will start to schocd as soon as convenient, Providence permitting. \\ e are thankful that God has given him so generous a heart, ami may he live long and prosper, and find his {ton strewed with flowers. Goshen, October 20, 1873. Editors Norcroro Advance: Please tender, through your excellent paper, to Prof. Vincent and his students, my warmest thanks for their visit and j polite atte tion, ami respects paid to the close of my school at Goshen. Also, it is ; very much desired by many, that Prof. V. have the addressed he delivered on the I occasion published in the Advance. It | would interest many of my old pupils, who are widely scattered in different sections of i the country. Very reaped fully, G H. Hopkins. Goshen, October 20, 1873. We thank CoL Hopkins and onr Goshen ' friends, as well as our esteemed contem ■ ;*orar‘.eß for their expressions of regard for lua amt cntrqirist'S. We must, how- I eve-, he excused from publishing <u ■ ' Gototrn address, m it was wholly ext-m --' pore, and we have not the time nor the ilb’llttV HO'V to f’rntCi RAMBLER AGAIN. We publish this wreek another, and, as indicated by his closing remarks in this, the last of his favors to <?ur readers. This, we hre informed, he read to the parties most desired to be affected by his gaseous lucubrations, through these col umns, in secret session of his own procur ing. and just at the right time to effect his unsaintly purposes, and told them, very confidently, that we would never publish it. In that conclusion (?) he was wide of the riiark. We print him with great pleasure, and assurerhim, and our readers, that we will, at the first spare moment answer all his questions, and to the satis faction of every one who is 'earnestly in quiring after truth. And we promise him and them now, that the erroneous views he favors would have been in a far better way to lead on and deceive still, if his last (and, as it seems he thinks, his heaviest,) blow had not been given. A gentleman writes us from Savannah inquiring as to advantages, population, etc., of Norcross. Our population is about five hundred; we are twenty miles from At lanta ; lands about here are cheap enough for cash; town lots cheap and to give away, on condition they are built upon ; lumber is cheap, as usual, and buildings cost comparatively little- Our people are sober, industrious ani enterprising. In short, Norcross is a most desl able place at whreb to live.

That the Bible was written by inspiration of God—is true—and the ’only safe foundation for Christian faith and practice. That the soul is immortal—that there will be a resurrection of the dead and final judgment, andjhat lite punishment of the unre deemed will be eternal. And will insist, that all who agree in these fundamental propo sitions,and seek salvation through Christ, constitute his Church, and should all unite and co-operate with Him, and each other, in the sacred work of redemption, as an affectionate family of brothers and sisters.

There is nothing of more importance to the youth of our country, than a sound practical education. Indeed it is a mat ter of first consideration, and in order that the foundation for an education may be laid in the shortest time and at the Leastexpense it is necessary to have teach ers—those who, from experience, have shown an aptness for imparting instruc tion".
