trsnsac'ed. Two negroes ware
convicted of burglary; and one white
man, James Fatson, for selling, the
titles to land which were forged.
The esse which attracted the most
attention was the state vs. Rev. A-

Stringe, is a sort of a free-lor-all,
gb-as-you please preacher,a kind of
a congregationalist free thinker.
The trouble occurred at Big Creek
Methodist church. Stringer had
been denied the right to preach in
that church or on the church prop
erty hy the trustees, but he sent an
appointment to preach, and with it
the message that he would fill it if
he had to wade through blood up to
his knees. The day arrived and
Stringer appeared. The Methodist
people were holding Sunday school
in their building, and-hsd locked the

While at New Holland last week
we bad the pleasure Of converting
with a very scientific and -leetnea
gentleman, who was fulljrposted op
all the new inventions oi the age.*
In discussing rapid trmsit,' he said
that serial navigation was impracti-
cable, and he did not look in that
direction for quick trztUporUtloD;
but, in lest than a decade, - distance
would be annibiUted at the speed
oi a hundred-miles per hour, and it
would be on terra firma, too. There
would be paper trains, paper en-
'net and paper nils, thus greatly
jhtening the weight of rolling
stock ana enabling the full power of
steam to be brought into play. Our
Informant said thfst paper car wheels
are now coming into general use,
aad arena entire success. A com
pany in New York is noyp experi
menting with-* full train of CMM)
and an engine, as also, rails, 1 made
entirely of paper, and they have
met with great success. Cooking
stoves are being manufactured of
laterial, which is a satisfactory
ace that it will alio answer for
a locomotive. Snch a road would
be much safer than those now in
use, and would have every advan
tage over the present passenger
lines. The only drawback we tee
to this suggestion'll that science has
demonstrated that .a speed a li ttle
over 60 miles an hour is impractica
ble and dangerous, owing to the re*
siatancc of Hie atmosphere. If rap-
id transit is ever solved, it will be
through electricity and paenmatic
tubes.
