BUIES FOB FASHIONABLE SEXTONS.
‘ L [For the Philada. Evening Bulletin. ]
. 1. In this age of luxury and self-indulgence,
it is undoubtedly the duty of a Sexton .so to
arrange matters,.as to contribute to the- ease
and comfort of the congregation; and one mode
of dping this will be neglecting to yentilate the
,1 church building properly, as the. oppressive
atmosphere will lull some of the worshipers
» (perchance not a few) into a comfortable nap
during the service. To be sure clergymen
seem to have a prejudice against preaching to
a slumbering audience; but as they invariably
charge the Evil One with this sin (?) you as the
Sexton of a church will hardly be suspected of
being his agent. -
,2. By your neglecting to have the furnaces
repaired when out of order; the fumes of gas
and sulphur escaping will so irritate the throat
and lungs of the people as to cause universal
coughing, and this din will so divide the atten
iion that the point of the sermon will in all
probability fail to inflict a wound, so that some
’ ®t" the congregation will be able to retire with a
. more quiet and easy conscience than they
otherwise could have enjoyed; you will thereby
be instrumental of promoting “ ease in Zion.”
3. If your evening meetings are uncomfort
ably crowded, the most direct plan of thinning:
them off, will be to fill the building as full of
gas as possible, by letting it escape in a
stream, whenever you light up the church;
for but si very moderate number of individuals
can with impunity, inhale gas for hours to
. gether, oftener than once a month.
- 4. By keeping the church excessively hot,
. the ladies will be obliged to “flirt the fire”
dexterously, and this exercise will prove a
most diverting relief from the solemnities of
3 the occasion, much to the satisfaction of the
young and gay of the assembly.
5. Again, if you keep the building .so cold,
that it endangers the health and lives of the
: Worshipers, it wiil be a moneyed benefit to the
■ physician and undertaker, and it is unques
; iionably your duty to study the interest of all,
. especially the. last named personage.
6. For the Spring and-Autumn, when the air
Is cold and damp, be sure yon see that all the
/windows are closed in the body of the church,
but you may leave them up in the galleries;
. for even thongh the chill air will blow directly
upon the backs of the worshipers in that po
sition still they surely have no right to com
plain, 'as they get their seats at a
much lower figure than numbers
who occupy pews below; also, you can leave
the doors open, as none, with the exception of
individuals who sit in the rear, will be incom-'
moded by this; and they are too insignificant
to chum the attention of a fashionable sexton.
7. When you find it necessary to close the
: blinds on the sunny side of the church, leave
them up abput a foot, as this will so dazzle,
that the worshipers will be obliged to shut
their eyes, i and perchance thereby hear the
better.
8. When fashionable-dressed strangers visit
the church, parade them up to the most con
spicuous seats; they will be quite an ornament
' to the building;, but plain or shabbily-dressed
' persons should be taught to know better than
enter_a fashionable church, by being stowed
away in some unobstrusive corner (see James,
1.2.) where they will not be an eye-sore so the
Dashers and Flashers of the congregation. It
is true some rather awkward mistakes have oc
casion hy this judging by appearance; for in
stance, a rich and influential citizen has found
himself and family in the “comer,” while his
more fashionably-dressed employes have figured
for the time upon an equality with “ Upper-
Tendom!” But, as these cases are ex
ceedingly rare, you need not apprehend
- anything of the kind happening in your case.
9. It children, unattended by adults,' pre
sume to enter your church, send them off im
mediately; do this as roughly as-possible, and
once will be quite sufficient; we will guarantee
- they will never again: trouble you under any
Circumstances. And, as an illustration of the
. unbounded influence ofj sextons over children
in this respect, we herelrelate that an old ljidy
informed us that she was sent roughly off by a
sexton from a church when a child, -and as she
left the door resolved she would never in her
lifetime enter a church of that denomination;
and she never did. Although she lived to very
old age she was never afterwards a church
goer She had, when a child, been very fond
of going to church,"but had no one to go with
her. The Sexton cured her of' this habit! Some
sextons place children unattended under 1 the
care of a Sunday-school teacher. But these
not being fashionable are no guide for your in
stitution.
ID. Wear boots with very high heels, and as
much creak in them as possible, then the
sound of your steppings will announce to the
people the precise time to turn round and gaze
at the strangers you are escorting to seats.
11. When the pulpit is occupied by a stran
ger you need not be very particular about his
haying light sufficient, especially if he uses
notes. His becoming perplexed and confused
ynll cause him to appear to disadvantage, and
therefore there will be no danger of the people
preferring him to their own pastor.
12. When you sweep the church for have it
swept, we beg pardon) be not over particular
a * J °? v-o Ousting— it is not manly to attend to
such nines. For our own part we never see,a
church budding well besprinkled with dust but
TT? invariably think it a most convincing proof
that the sexton belongs to the nobler six—the
masculine, and not the finical feminine gender.

of rebels came quietly down the Neuse Kiver and
captured the guuboat Underwriter. They
boarded her and the sailors jumped into the water
and swam ashore. She was burned at once. Her
magazines blew up about six o’clock this mora

each side of Neuse Hiver. The full details are not
yet known.
The firing this morning has been light and it
looks as though the rebels were going.' They have
made a sharp and successtul move. They have
captured and killed about 12 commissibned offi

complete, burned or forced us to burn all the
camps at the front and destroy a fine gunboat. For
the force we have we feel that a fine thing his
been, done by us. Save the battery,he obtained
nothing, as all the camps and stpres not removed
were burned. The day is fine after a heavy rain,
last flight, and from present appearance our fight

National airs, and all are as gay and cheerful as
possibly.
THE MAUCH CHUNK, PA., BIOTEBS.
[Correspondence of the N. Y. Times. l
Reading, Fa.,; Feb. 3, lSGi.—The trial of the
Mauch Chunk rioters was continued, by the mili
tary Commission to-day.
Charles Dugan was put upon trial upon sub
stantially the same chargesand specifications upon
wbicn Bergman and O’Dormel were tried, with
the addition of the following specifications :
Specification fourth— That said Charles Dugan, in
furtaerafice :of said.combination and conspiracy
aforesaid, and with the object and purposes afore
said, as mentioned above in the first specification,
iand to intimidate and prevent the loyal citizens of
ithe cOnn'ies of Carbon, Luzerne, and Schuylkill,
.from aiding andassisting the officers of said Gov
ernment m the discharge of their military duties’
under tne laws thereof, did, by words, in sub
stance, threaten and declare thathe would resist by
force all the officers and other persons in aid of the
Government concerned in enforcing the laws of the
United States, for enrolling and drafting any and
all persons subject to military duty under the laws
thereof. This was said ano done at tne Township
of Banks, in the County of Carbon, and State ef
Pennsylvania on the Ist day of November, A. D.
1563, and at divers days, times and places, bsfore
and after said mentioned day.
Specification Fifth— That the said Charles Dugan,
in furtherance of said combination and conspiracy
aforesaid,, and with the object andpurposes aforeV
said, as mentioned above in the first specification,
and to intimidate and prevent the loyal citizens of
the counties of Carbon, Luzerne and Schuylkill,
in the State of Pennsylvania, from aiding and
assisting the officers of said. Government in the
discharge of their military duties under the laws
thereof, did, in words substantially, say and
declare that he would kill and murder any or nil
citizens residing in the neighborhood, who should
aid or assist the officers of the Government of the
United States in enforcing the draft Under the
laws thereof, or should give the names of those
persons subject to military duty nnder said laws,
or should give notice to said officers where the
persons so subject to military duty resided or
could be found, or who might be- drafted
under said laws. This said and done at the town
ship of Banks, in the county of Carbon, and State
of Pennsylvania, on the Ist day of November. A.
D. IEG3, and at divers other times and places before
and since that date.
Patrick Murphy was called bv the Judge Advo
cate. He swore that he attended a meeting in the
woods between Janesville and Hazleton some time
in June, 18Q3, called and organized for the pur
pose of resisting the draft; that the prisoner was
at the meeting and acted as a sort of a marshal;to
form the men in ranks and march them to and
from the meeting. That the meeting was organ
ized in the morning and lasted nearly all day ■
there were from six to eight hundred persons pre
sent: speeches were made by Peter Dillon and
several others, to the effect that they should or
ganize to resist the draft, and if they were true to
one another and all stood together, the Govern
ment would not be able to force them into the
racks or Lincoln’s Abolitionists.
George Haycock was called by the Judge Advo
cate. He swore that he at'ended a meeting gotten
up to resist the draft; that the prisoner Charles
j Dugan was present and took aa active part in the
| proceedings. Edward Winters (who has sincernn
I away), made a speech, and said, “They had met
I to maintain the ‘Constitution as it is, and the Union
as it was, ’ and to resist the draft—that the South
i enters were fighting for their rights, and if they
t° themselves they could not be com-
J pelled to fighi against them. ’ ’ Witness swore that
j £e, witk Hngh Mulligan, Tim Sweeny and John
PauL were appointed a committee' to go around
and lake the names of those who would join, to re
sist the draft, and if any one refused to have his
name put down and. aid in resisting the draft, he
was to have notice and be driven from the countv
in twenty.four hours. J
John P. Sburman was also called by the
Advocate. He swore that he had a conversation
with the prisoner, Charles Dugan, the morning
alter the meeting, and he said that he had attended
'the meeting, toey appointed a committee to
enroll names to resist the draft: that they were
10 be i arm ed to resist the officers
of the Government in making the draft: that this
was a nigger war, and they had rattier fight
and die at their own door 3 than go and fight for
Abe Lincoln and his niggers; th*t they intended
to kill Mr. Pardee, (the Provost Marshal)
so he conld not get the names and make
ttie enrollment, and burn Hazleton and destroy the
Provost Marshal’s records. Sliurman swore also
that the prisoner, Dugan, told him that the plan
was to go to Beaver Meadow, and surprise Cant
Yates’s (formerly of the Schenectady Time*) Com-’
pany, of the Invalid Corps, kill them and take
their arms, and march on to Scranton, and attack
and overppwer the troops stationed there, and bv
that time Gen. Lee would bein Pennsylvania with
his army, and be largely reinforced from the
mines, and the war would be ended in Pdnn
