He stands about five feet ten, is of broad and strong frame, has a brown beard, cut short and streaked with gray. In form and dress he would be taken for an old farmer. In manner and expression he looks lice a judge; strong, big, his kindly features are lighted up with grave, large, brown eyes, and his mouth and jaws suggest a firmness and self-reliance that distinguish him from the common herd of men. A L ondon correspondent writes: “Some fun has been caused lately by an accident that happened to a curate of High-church tendencies. Having a horse that did not like the water, he stripped to the skin and then mounted his steed, which he sought to force into the sea. But the brute did not see it, and wheeling round, started full pace for the town, through the main street of which he dashed, great ly to the surprise and horror of his rider, the male Godiva, It is sal I that the curate did not officiate the next Sunday.” T hey have dug up a petrified wo man in Arkansas.
