Rev. Mr.. BAscoM.-This justly celebrat-
ed and eloquent champion of religious truth
and profound biblical scholar, who is now in
Baltimore, is thus noticed by the Richmond
Whig-


"Rev. II. B. Bascom, a distinguished
member of the Methodist Church, is about
to deliver course oflectures in Baltimore,
on the relative claims of Christianity and
lnfdelity. The high reputation of Mr.. Bas-
com, as pulpit orator, will ensure him
crowded auditories."

ProfessorshiP in the Sharon College of Mis-
sissippi,-an institution established by those
indefatigable and efficient pioneers of the
Holy Cross, the Methodist Conference of
this State. We hail the appointment of
such men as the harbinger of increased sue
cess and usefulness to this already flourish.

of virtue and religion, Sharon must soon
strike up CLEAN of light along the literary
horizon, creditable to Mississippi and honor
able to its worthy founders.

accepts his appointment or not-but pre-
