C., on Saturday evening last, Joseph S. Canady, a young mechanic, who had just purchased a dirk, while jesting with a companion, playfully struck his own breast with |the knife, crying, “ Lay on, Mac duff E" His friend told him that he had stabbed himself. He stated that he had not, but upon looking at his breast, he perceived the bipod, when "he uttered, — “ Good Lord I” and. falling backwards in the door, died almost immediately. It is supposed that when he struck himself with .the dagger, he intended to do so with the handle, as he had often done before, repeating dramatic quotations, and “ suit ing the action to the \t-ord.” i Mrs. Mary Chesnut, mother of the Senator from South Carolina, has been sip pointed Vice Regent of the Mount Ver non Association of that State. She is eighty-five years of age, and had a perso nal acquaintance with General' Washing ton. In the spring of 1789 Washinglou yisited Trenton, and was received with the most enthusiastic demonstrations by the people, especially by the ladies A “ tri umphal arch” was erected on the bridge over the Assanpink creek, at theentnnee of which the young girls strewed flowers before him and sung a so.ng of welcome. One of those girls is now Mrs. Chesnut. During the heavy rain of Thurs day last, r house on Deep Run, Belmont county, Ohio, was carried away, and the owner, Mr. Ephraim Henry, his wife, and a grown up daughter, were drowned. One little-boy was swept away, but found, af terwards, alive, in a drift pile. This was one mile back from the Ohio river. About the same time, on the Little Fork of Short Creek, near Warren, two school houses, one of them lately erected and completed were 1 swept away entirely by the descend ing waters.

Last week your columns contained a graphic account of the Artistic performance* of Monsieur Dunham ; who taught his pupils a les son that will perhaps benefit others, ns well os themselves. More recently a very novel amustlte came off, entitled “ The grand faux pa* gaUapade," which is certainly deserving of some consideration ; in as much as it has given rise to s question of general interest. The characteristic phrases of the performance are briefly described by the Poet, who no doubt, refers to something very similar, when he speaks of “The incoogruouH ycena of CUrUtUna Ruling thro’ the uiuzoa of the giddy doocs.” The following article from a secular newspa per, is respectfully submitted, as it relates par ticularly to the questiou involved For the Brmtmtvißt Timet. Is It right for Church Members to Dance t This is a question which is often propounded, not onty to the minister, as he mingles with bis flock; but also to' the more private layman.— snd various indeed, have been the opinions of the casual reader of the hible, and the superfi cial in etbies on this subject; white those of deep toned, piety and ardent zeal toward God and bis honor, have been.a‘unit. It is worthy of note here, tha t the Christian experience of all ages, stands in direct opposition to dancing, as practiced in our dity, (viz: as an amusement). Dancing has been known from time immemorial, and was very common among the Jews, to whom pertained the oracles of God", fiutthere were always two distinct classes, who engaged in it, namely, th& righteous and the wicked. The righteous engaged in the devotional dance, to which so many allusions are made in the Bible, which was an .expression of joy, ipd religious gratitude: The wicked, in dreadful debauch and licentiousness. It was customary for con querors, after a signal victory, to be honored by the women, who, in token of their heart felt joy. came to meet tliem, singing and dancing, as was the case when David returned from the slaugh ter of the Philistines and Jepfathath from the destruction of the children of Ammon. Dan cing' whs also an expression of domestic joy, and confidence in God, hence, the sweet singer of Isrqel attunes bis harp, “ tbou bast turned for me my mourning into dancing ;. thou bast put off my sackcloth and girded me with gladness.” Certainly no one would be so obtuse ns to ad duce the dancing as practiced by the ancient people of God, as a representation of-dancing now ; as then it was a token of religious joy, and gratitude ; now of sinsual pleasure ; then 1 of devotion to God ; now of devotion to the world; then God was ir all their thoughts; now they desire not a knowledge of bis ways. -The mingling of males and females in the dances, which is “all the go" now, was unknown to the Jews : unless as has been well observed by a'n eminent writer—a precedent may be found in the scene of idolatrous confusion and madness, when the children of Israel bowed themselves before the image of a calf. This sensual kind of dancing has always been in great vogue among the heathen patioris of the earth, and many allusions are made to it in the classics which we have not space nor time to notice Pious Job, gives us a disquisition on this, which we ought to mark. “ wherefore, says ho, do the wicked live and become old, yea, are mighty in power? They send forth their little ones like a flock; their children dnnee. The/ take the timbrel and harp and rejoice at the sound of the organ. They spend their days in wealth and in a moment go down to the grave. Therefore, they say unto God. depart from us; for we de sire not a knowledge of thy ways. What is the Almighty, that we should serve him, and what profit ahou'd we have if ■ we pray unto him ? This is the sentiments of the large class that have danced for sensual gratification. The de votional dance has ceased long since, having been peculiar to the old dispensation ; but the | worldly dance still exists; and those who en gage in it, do not want church members to med dle with their enjoyments. Since dancing now is emphatically a worldly erjoyment, and since, from the .very nature of the* case the blessing of God is not upon*it. Ought Christians to dance, or those who have rtmde a profession of their faith in Christ? TS% obvious answer is, no.— “For you hath he qnlckened who were dead in trespasses and sins, in times past yo worked according to the course of this world.- “ Love not the world, neither the things that are.in the worjd. If any man love the "world the love of the Father is not in him. Be not conformed to this world; but be ye transformed by the renewing of your minds, that you may prove what is that good, acceptible and perfect will of God." How dwelleth the love of God in you, dear reader, if you be numbered' with the followers of the Lord Jleans, andlove this World ly amusement so well. Does thy Boat prosper when thou art in the giddy dance ? 1 trow not: For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness, and what communion hath ligb.t with darkness, and What concord hath Christ With Belial? “Wherefore, come out from among them and be ye separate, saitti the Lord, and touch not .the unclean thing.” Bat B fl y yep, 1 don’t see how dancing can harm me, for the act is not wrpng itself. True, the act in itself is not wrong, and many acts in them selves are not Wrong which often tehd _tb that which it wrong in itself.
