pleasure in saying that it was an en

pard’s purpose was to interest tho
children, to enthuse thorn more in tho
Sunday school work, and he succeed

Wo all can sec now more clearly
and perfectly than ever before, that
the Influence of the Sunday school,
quiet and unobtrusive as it is, contri
butes more thau anything else to the
moral cultivation and elevation of
our youth.
The rising and unanimous vote of
the children, returning thanks for the
lecture aud the lessons inculcated, ex
pressed a sentiment as beautiful and
pure as the Alpine flower that the
speaker used in an illustration. Our
whole people give Mr. Reppard an
invitation to “come again.”

Last night’s B. * A. mail brought
us information of the flndiug of the
remains of some unknown man, ten
miles south of Ty Ty, by Mr. M". E.
Williams. No particulars accompa
nied the news. Our correspondent
stated that “he has been dead so long
that hi* bones were literally scattered
ovor a quarter of an acre of ground,
and were bleached aud whitened by
the rains and sun.” Scattered about
over a considerable space were found
a valise, a violin, some clock-makers
Implements, and various papers. His
identity could not be traced ou any of
them. The papers were old and dim,
and the lettering obliterated by ex
posure to weather.
The man may have come to his
death by some providential cause. If
not, there has heen a terrible deed
committed, and we hope it will he
ferrited out. The coroner took charge
of the remains, and we suppose held
au inquest over tho same.
