The Rev. W. G. KEADY, having determined to accept the call of the Presbyterian church at Cynthiana, Kentucky, will preach his farewell sermon on Sunday next. We regret that Mr. KEADY feels it his duty to leave Bolivar where he and his family are so much beloved for their true christian graces. He is a learned divine, and one of the closest reasoners we have ever heard in the pulpit, here or elsewhere. His church, and the people of Bolivar will miss him and his interesting family, and the prayers of the Christians of this community will follow them wherever they may go.
