Rev. Cyrus Cort, pastor of the Reformed
Church of Greencaslle, and one of tlie ablest
ministers in the Southern portion of the
State, in which he clearly defines his posi

He writes : " As long as I hold my present
orthodox views respecting the inspiration
andi ntergrityof (iod's Word, I must regard
prohibition as unscruplous and wrong in
principle I could not consistently' indorse
prohibition without nullifying or perverting
many aula and passages of the sacred
Scriptures, and at the same time running
counter to what I consider the genius and
aim of free and constitutional government.
As a practical measure of temperance reform
prohibition has been largely a failure, and
tends to create a community of spies, in

held that the railroad agent, knowing how
such sales were made, should not have per

nightly, and colored orators and preachers
are urging them to colonize.

action toward colonizing all tbe colored peo

offered lands for a trifle. The circulars say
the will people don't want them lure anl

weeks this town of .to,ft)Q inhabitants has
been kept in a state of terror by a hu-e ai d
vicious hog. The anim d considered every
body his fit prey, and many people have
been kept busy climbing trees in order to get
out of tbe way of his tusks.
He upset a carriage onc, anil during tbe
past seven days be has caused a dozen run
aways, resulting in crippled horses and
broken buggies.
The police tolerated but did not encourage
the behavior of ttiis porker until several
days since, when a more heinous ntf.'nse
than usual render! him a fugitive from jus
tice. He rushed through the broad plate
window of a drug store, overturning dozms
of bottles of m -dicine, then wilted out and
proceeded leisurely up the street. Tbe cost
of the windaw was H'Vi, and the mrrhant
estimated that at least tS worth of drugs
were destroyed.
Last Saturday the police saw the animal
and succeeded iu lassoing him. They drag,

followed by several hundred persons. After
five days' imprisonment tin bog will be sold
