tries; if you care for them you must come East,
among more primitive and unsophiscated
tions. In thhe as In many other respects, , Hun
gary is a very conservative country, which keeps
up old traditions with a tenacity scarcely , to be
found elsewhere. The Roman • Catholic Church,
with that indulgence for human weaknesses
which'makes it so attractive to the popular mind,
has helped to perpetuate many old customs by
giving them a religious sanction. It would have
° been an almost hopeless task to eradicate those
old rites with which the sun-worshipping Mag
yars celebrated the revival of nature; so a com
promise was made, and the Christian Easter 1 8
up to this day in Hungary a curious mixture of
the Pagan spring festival and a Church solem
nity.
The holiday was more general this year than
it usually is, for the Greek Easter and Jewish
Passover fell at the same time as the Easter of
Weettrn Christianity, and there Is 's large Greek
and Jewish community in Buda-Pesth. There
was already, in Lent, some mild excitement for
the pious. PCre Bawler, of the orderof Jesuits,
was preaching twice a day in the Church of. the
Servitea. The Hungarian mind is not much given
to religious exaggerations and eccentricities, and
not even •in the pnhniest days of
the Concordat could such things as peni
tentiaries and .and= retirements become naturalized.
Edit that 'affinity which exists between .Conser
seem and Big -church's= has nianifested itself
here as well as elsewhere, and in a certain set
UltranionCanisim has bec ome the fashion. It is
to this fashion that we were Indebted- for the
Lent exercises of the Pere Ramier. At 11 in the
morning'and at 4 in the aftetnoon every pew in
the little church was crowded. Of course the
ma6s of the audience were women-=fine ladies,
who shortened their afternoon drive in the Stadt
waldehen (the nascent park of Perth), French
booms and governesses, with or without their
charges: and others who followed the fashion,
and had more or less pretension to a
knowledge of French. The male visitors
who were loitering about the pews
were, I fear, more attracted by the
audience than by the charms of the preacher's
tei uence. Four o'clock is rather an idle hour
here, so whoever was in want of something to do
went to hear Pere Bernier, and it was pleasant
(slough. He had nothing of that gloomy asceti
cism about him which we see in the portraits of
Sis muster, Loyola; his florid complexion and
well-nourished frame presented religious enthu
siasm from its brighter side. There-was nothing
sickly and morbid in that ardor and inexhausti
ble flow cf speech; it was but the legitimate ebul
lition of high animal spirits. The tone was that
tamiliar one which is the fashion in these exer
cises, taking the congregation into the speaker's
confidence, asking the audience to refute his ar
,eiments, and taking silence as a proof that no
one could answer them. It is charitable to sup
pose that the audience went away as convinced
Is the preacher himself certainly was.
Saturday afternoon Is the celebration of the
least of the Resurrection, which goeS On till late
in the evening Every church chooses a differ
,nt hour, so as not to interfere with each other;
end if the day is fine, as it was this year, the
t they of the risen Saviour and the Host are ear
ritd about in procession through the streets.
The whole town la lent, and collected in the ,
pi tees where the procession passes. Before every
church the wax chandlers and sellers of ginger
bread pitch their tents, while eight and left of
them you see rows of women selling colored
Paschal eggs. These Paschal eggs form a most
important feature in ,the Easter festivals. For
days before they are the only objects of the
thoughts and dreams of the rising generation. To
have many bright colored eggs is the ambition of
every schoolboy, and to test their strength against
those of his companions. He is quite a hero who
has hit - upon one or two with very hard shells,
for he may become the proprietor of many eggs,
though broken ones. There is no end of childish
cunning displayed in the game. The ergs are
sounded against the teeth, and thus an opinion is
formed of their relative strength. Sometimes the
trial is small end against small end, sometimes
small end against the large one. Then there is
goose egg against hen egg. or turkey against
guinea fowl, andhe whose egg remains intact
becomes the happy possessor of the bro
ken one. But it Is not , only for
children that the Paschal eggs are meant;
they serve as presents among grown-up people,
and are for this purpose made of sugar and orna
mented with devices and sugar bas reliefs any
letting but holy. A couple of white doves, a bright
nosegay, or a brightly dressed young couple tell
their own tale. Besides, hard boiled eggs are an
indispensable item in the Easter repast. Where
old custom is strictly kept up a piece of cold
lamb, a twisted cake of flour, butter and hard
boiled eggs, a piece of horse radish, and a little
salt are sent onliunday morning to church to be
sprinkled with holy watet and blessed, and after
mass people break their fast with this
blessed fare. It is lying on the table, and
whoever comes to bring his good wishes fer the
holy day must needs partake of it. In country
districts, where these visits cannot be made so
easily, friends send each other some of the cake
at least as a sign of good will. After mass, Easter
Sunday, and above all Monday, belongs no more
to the church, but to nature. The weather must
be very bad indeed to deter people from putting
.on light spring clothing, and going out where
there are green fields, trees or a piece of turf.
In every place there is a locality set aside by
custom for Easter "outing," where people go to
disport themselves for the day.
'Another time-honored custom which still flour
ishes in Hungary is the ducking on Easter Mon
day and Tuesday. On the first day it is the
privilege of the men,on the second of the women.
If in the towns it is but sprinkling with rose
water over the head: in the country, it means
emptying palls of water over the head in proof of
affection, and there are most animated scenes to
be witnessed at the fountains. What a pity there
is no time-honored custom by which hot heads
could be treated to pails of water. In the west of
Hungary, and in Bohemia, there was, last
week, a return to winter. For miles the
telegraph posts yielded to the weight
of the snow- drifts, and in some ports ins
the line of railway itself was interrupted
for several hours. The breaking down of
the telegraph occasioned an accident on
the line between Perth and Vienna. The pas
eenger train from Presburgb, in which there.wore
several of the Vienna Ministers, started on the
single line, and met p goods tr ain; fortunately
the speed was not great, and so it was more the
rolling stock than the passengers who suf
fered. A few days before; on the same line, two
trains met at the station itself; the goods train
was waiting, and the passenger train was started
upon it. There are continually such mistakes on
the part of the Company's servante, who are
overworked, and at last fall into a sort of Inter
mediate state between waking and sleeping. H.

ANOTHER BRIE RAILROAD DIE.
. AbTEEL
A Locaniotive rrecipitated into the
River—The Engineer and Fireman
Killed•
[From the NT. Y. Herald of to.day.]
The precision with which those most faithful
ministers of King Death—the railroads—perform
their task is likely to pass into a proverb.
Whether the conflict which is being waged for
the possession of the Erie Railway has driven
superintendents, officials, and employes general
ly on the rampage, or that we are approaching
that Sabbath without end which men (excepting
of course the Latter Day Saints) call the mllletn
um, everybody will agree that "the time is out of
joint " In spite of all the dicta of moral philoso
phy. familiarity with scenes of horror begets an
inaifference which cannot recognize any
great calamity in the destruction of a human
being. Time was in • the recollection of even the
rising generation when a public execution, viewed
by the community in the light of all the conse
quences that attend a violent separation of Soni
from body. summoned a wail of sorrow through
out the land, whether the victim was innocent or
guilty. But we had not then an Angola horror,
or a Cam's Rock, or nitro-glycerine, or a Miesis
sippi explosion, with its hecatomb, or, in short,
be aid of modern science,
to sweep men out of
elistence by refined, methodical and unerring
ftgrneles. A man has only to ask himself the
question how It is that the announcement of any
terrible casualty now-a-days awakens but a tran
sient sensation, why it is that the headlong rush
cf emigrants from this world comes to be regard
ed only as a chemical process—by and by a mere
trifle—and he will be hurried into just such re
flections as the forego frig.
The disaster at Carr 's Rock seems to have
flashed upon us as the dawn of a season of blood
oe the Erie Railway. Yesterday forenoon, about
ten o'clock, a train of five cars, laden with corn,
were being backed towards the river at the Long
Dock depot, in order to discharge the corn into a
canal boat at the end of the trestlework over
which the cars were passing. Each of the five
care—one after another—passed over safely; but
when the engine arrived at a certain point the
trestle-work gave way and the locomotive was
plunged into the water,sinking to a depth of eight
feet. The car immediately in front tumbled back
wards, and striking on its end absolutely blocked
up the month or opening of the cab,and in conse
quence of this mishap the englneer,T.McConit.and
the fireman, William Cabart, both 'young men,
perished. Whether they were drowned or
scalded is yet uncertain—most probably the latter
as the sudden collision between the cold water
and the red hot fire box generated scalding jets
of steam. Be this as it may, workmen armed
with axes proceeded to hew away the thick cov
ering of the shed—a work which unfortunately
consumed too many minntes for the struggling
brines beneath to have even a chance of escape.
The bodies, when taken out, were not removed
from the depot till Coroner Warren was notified.
McCoult, who was twenty-five years of age, is
supposed to have belonged to Weathersfielol,Con
necticut, but he boarded in Provost street, Jer
-ey City. near the line of the Erie Railroad. Ca
hart, who was twenty-one years of age, resided
in Grove street, Jersey City. Both were unmar
ried.
The locomotive had not been drawn out last
evening. The loss to the company will be tri
lling, the engine being but slightly damaged.
The car which tumbled over the engine was laden
with tobacco, which is nearly all uninjured. The
corn cars all remained on the track. Orders
bad been frequentlygiven, it is stated by the su
perintendent, to engineers not to drive any loco
motive beyond a certain point on the trestle
work, and it Is claimed that the present disaster
resulted from a violation of this order. The
trestle-work at this place, though able to sustain
any loaded car, is entirely too rickety for a loco
motive to venture on it with safety.
Railway Accident in Ohio—An Oil
Train Burned—Two Bleu Killed.
[From the Cleveland Leader of May 4.)
On Saturday morning about 3 o'clock, an oil
train on the Atlantic and Great Western Railroad
was stopped by obstructions to the track a short
distance from Mantua Station. While the track
was being put in order a brakeman was sent back
with a signal to stop the freight train that was
following. He had been gone but a short time
when the freight came thundering along, down a
heavy grade, the momentum it had obtained ren
dering it impossible to materially check its
mpefd before it struck the caboose of the train In
tront, knocking it into a complete wreck and set
ting it on fire.
The engineer of the freight jumped from his
train an instant before it collided with the ca
boose, and escaped without serious injury. The
fireman, James Denham, was killed.
In the caboose there were a number of persons,
nearly all of whom were more or less Injured,
some of them seriously. George Smith, of New
burgh, was asleep in the caboose at the time of
the collision, and was instantly killed. His body
was afterward burned with the wreck.
Those who were uninjured had scarcely escaped
from the car when it caught fire, and it was with
the utmost exertion that the wounded were res
cued from the flames. One man who had be
come entangled in the wreck had both his arms
burned to a crisp before he was released from his
place of torture. Ho cannot live. His name we
have not learned.
Sixteen cars ladened with oil then caught fire
and were burned. The track and ties for a long
distance were destroyed and all trains on Satur
day were delayed several hours at that point, the
road not being replaced, and a transfer of pas
sengers and baggage being, required both east
and west.
Medical attendance was secured immediately,
and the citizens of Mantua and vicinity immedi
ately threw open their doors to the wounded, and
all things that could be done were done to allevi
ate their sufferings and supply their wants.
Who is to blame for the accident it is difficult
to tell. It is said that the man sent back to sig
nal the approaching train did not do so promptly,
and that the train was upon then before he had
gone even a reasonable distance from the ca
boose. On the, other side it is claimed that the
accident occurred on a "long stretch," and that
the engineer of the rear train could have seen
the one in front for a distance of three-quarters
of a mile.
Destructive Fire near Pittsburgh—
Montana. 011 'Works Burned— Loss
051,000.
[From the Pitb harsh Gazette of May sth.]
A destructive conflagration took place about
four o'clock Saturday morning in tho 011 Works
of the Montana Refinery and Storing Company,
in Ross township, on the Perrysville plank road,
about half a mile from the Alleg, heny
which the entire oil works and' - three dwellings
wore entirely destroyed.. The fire originated in the
receiving room of, the refinery and' the building
was enveloped in flames in a few moments. Ad
joining the building was a wooden tank contain
ing aim-hundred bandit of crude Oil, which la'
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY,
etantly took fire and exploded. The receiving
house, adjoining the crude oil tank, in which
come five hundred barrels of refined oil were
stored, next caught fire and was destroyed. A
frame dwelling occupied by Julius Schmidt, su
perintendent of the works, and a large
shed containing 1.000 empty barrels, took
fire and were consumed. The burn
ing oil boated down Butcher's Run and commu
nicated the fire to a two. story frame house several
hundred feet from the works, which was tom
pletely destroyed, together With an adjoining
cottage house. One of these buildings was fully
Insured; the other had an insurance of $3OO. The
oil company estimate their loss between 820,000
and $30,000. The company had about
$ll,OOO insurance, $.0,000 of which was on
the building, machinery &c.; $2,400 were
In the Atria, $1,200 each in the It, Marks, Beek
man and Albany city companies. The remaining
$5,000 were on the oil tanks, which were unin
jured, the risk being in the M. & M. Co. of this
city. Two men were injured, but not danger
ously. The Allegheny , Fire Department were
promptly on hand and, it was due to their inde
fatigable exertions that the fire did not spread
further. The Columbia did efficient service with
hooks and ladders.
Important Arrest of Counterfeiters—
Caps ure of 025,000 Bogus Notes.
(From the Detroit Advertiser, Mar I.]
Colonel Wood, Chief of the Secret Service Di
vision of Washington, with his force and the as
sistance of the Canadian authorities captured
,Jim Burdell alias Charles Harwood, 'James K.
Wrlttenhouse, alias James Kincaid, and his wife,
and the notorious Mlle Boyd, female counter
feiter. Some time last November Writtenhonse,
alias Kincaid, went to Sombra, in Ontario, and
opposite this city, and rented a country resi
dence belonging to James Dawson, representing
himself to be a Southerner who had left
the South on account of the tyrannical
cof the • Yankees. He was soon followed
by the notorious Jim Burdell, who is now under
indictment in Cincinnati for Issuing counterfeit
money. Then came the nottd Ben Boyd, who Is
claimed to be one of the finest engravers in the
country. and who has been up before for the
same offence, but was let off on easy terms.
Allie Boyd, his reputed wife, accompanied hien.
She is also a notorious character. having served
In the penitentiary for a similar offence. The
las.t individual on the list was a brother of James
Kincaid. But little of his career is known. Con
siderable speculation was aroused among the Ca
nadians as to what the business of the above coun
terfeiters could be,..but the Southern exile story
somewhat quieted them. ExpresS packages would
occasionally come to the address of James Kin
caid, which afterwards proved to be material for
counterfeiting. On the 16th Kincaid and Burdell
were seen by the detectives to come to this side
'of the river and go to St. Clair. They were at
once followed. They went to the express office
at St. Clair and left a package addressed to Mrs.
C. B. Edwards, Cincinnati, and took away a
package of bank note paper which was sent to
them from Philadelphia. After they had
started to return home Levy and Newman,
the detectives, captured the package,
which was found to contain $25.000 in counter
feit Treasury notes of the denomination of $lO.
The package was left in charge of John L.Agens,
the express agent, with instructions to retain it
and to keep its detection secret. The detectives
sent word to Colonel Wood of their success. The
Cojonel ifistructeiltimm to keep a good watch on
their birds, and Wit tterther orders. The-coun
terfeiters, not hearing of the safe arrival of
their package, became uneasy, and the detectives
telegraphed to Wood, who came here yester
day with an additional force. As the Colonel
came off the bold yesterday Burdell got
sight of him and put for the other side. Boyd,
hearing that the Colonel had made his appear
ance, put off in a sail-boat down the river. De
tective Levy, in company with a citizen of this
place, went to Sombra, made a complaint,' got
out a warrant, and, with the assistanceof a e;ana
dian constable, who took charge of the party,
made a descent upon the house. Burden made
an attempt to get away, but was brought to by a
shot from a pistol. A search was made through
the house, and the printing press, dies,
impressions ink &c., were found. They
succeeded in hiding the plates, but the
detectives think they will be found to-day. They
will be examined before Justice Dawson to-day,
in Sombra. The notes captured are well executed
and - would baffle the skill of the most expert.
The only difference that can be detected is in the
face of Lincoln on the right of the bill. By com
paring the counterfeit with the genuine it can be
seen. They are printed on the best of banknote
paper and every way resemble the genuine.
Boyd succeeded in making his escape, but Col.
Wood says he will have him before twenty-four
hours pass over bistead.
There are many indications that upon the site
of Nashville there was located a great and popu
lous city of an ancient people. The early set
tlers found on these hills vestiges of fortifications,
of buildings, of vaults,of underground passages,
and of these the Indians confessed they knew
nothing. These latter aborigines, to be sure, had
their camps and villages thick over the surround
ing eminences. When Nashville was a beleag
nred town and the suburbs and adjacent country
were cut up and ridged with long lines of works,
many were the queer and deeply interesting
relics exhumed. It was at that time dis
covered that in North Nashville was an immense
cemetery of the dead, where probably thousands
had been buried. It is a singular fact that among
all the remains exhumed here none but those of
grown or adult ueople have been found. Where
are the children? Six miles from the city, and
towards the mouth of Stone river, is a vast
mausoleum of the dead, and none but the bones
of pigmies have been there discovered. Here is
what a letter, written to one of the metro
politan newspapers nearly five years ago, says
about these diminutive graves, which have since
been examined, together with their contents,
by scientific men, and decided as we have stated,
to be skeletons of children: "Some interest has
been excited in Tennessee by the discovery of
graves from eighteen to twenty-five and thirty
inches in length. The operations of mining and
oil companies have disclosed the curiosities,
which contain human skeletons, whose teeth are
extremely diminutive. General Milroy has de
posited some of the bones in the Tennessee
State Library, but could elicit no information
from the inhabitants concerning these Lillipu
tian sepulchres except the fact that, a large
number of similar graves have been found, at tho
mouth of Stone river, near Nashville. They
were examined thirty years ago, and excited con
siderable comment at the time." We spoke of
the relics which were exhumed by the soldiers
who labored upon the numerous fortifications.
Many of these we have seen. They comprise
curiously figured shells, vases, urns, wa
ter jugs and various queer ornaments,
some of them exhibiting a great deal of
artistic taste and skill. In the cabinets
of more than one college in the North may be
found relics strange, peculiar and pregnant with
the story of an ancient people, taken from the
vicinity of Nashville. Several months ago we
gave an account of the discovery of a sacrificial
altar, with the bones and ashes of victims at no
great distapee from the Sulphur Spring. it was
of a poeculiar species of burned clay, and was
found several feet deep beneith the present sur
face of the ground in that neighborhood.

[dpecial Despatch to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
WasiiiNfrroiv, May 6th.—Mr. Bingham said:
Now, one man defies the power of the people.
That question is here on trial. By la* is the
peace of nations maintained and their existence
perpetuated. "The voice of the people is the
voice of God." From the day when
the inscription was written upon the grave of the
Laceotemunians at Thermopylw, that they lay
therein obedience to the laws of their country,
no profounder lesson of the duty of citizens has
been inculcated. •
The principles involved in _that dir were
whether the Executive prerogative shouill sweep
away the Constitution and the powers of the
liegislature. Thee same principles are in
volved here. Should this usurpation
b 3 sustained the people are no
longer their own law-makers. ' the President
becomes supreme, made so by the voice of the
Senate. The Representatives of the people have
done their duty. You are deliberately asked to
set the Presidentabove the Constitution he brie
violated and above the peoplelin has degraded.
For the Senate to sustain any such plea would
be a gross violation of the Constitution and the
laws of a free people. We stand to-day to vin
dicate the majesty of the law, by the graves of
half a million people who died in
No
of the majesty of the law. No position
however high, or patronage however great, can
be permitted to shelter crime against the safety,
of the State. It only remains to demand
that the Senate shall , find the President
guilty of . the crimes proved against
him. Mr. Bingham closed in a very impressive
manner and was greeted with a spontaneous
outburst of applause throughout the whole extent
of the galleries.
The Chief Justice said the galleries would have
to be cleared.
Mr. Grimes rose and insisted that the order
Pb maid be enforced, which was greeted with
kisses.
The Sergeant-at-arms was ordered to clear tie
galleries.
The motion to take a recess was resisted until
the galleries could be cleared.
Mr. Cameron rote and with much feeling said
he hoped the order would not be enforced. It was
a natural outburst of feeling which would some
times occur. He was promptly taken 'off the
floor by calls to order from Reverdy Johnson,
Grimes, and others.
Mr. Sherman moved that the Senate retire for
deliberation, which was not agreed to, and the
galleries were then cleared. As the occupants of
the diplomatic gallery were leasing, the others
having gone, a motion was made to suspend
the order.
This was put, and the ayes and noes appearin:g
nearly equll, the Chief Justice decided that it
was lost.
At this the galleries and the reporters were
then cleared out. While the last persons were
leaving, Mr. Morrill (Me.) offered a motion that
when the Senate adjourn it be till Saturday.
Mr. Cameron objected to the consideration of
the motion until the galleries should be entirely
cleared.
A motion by Mr. Morrill to adjourn till Satur
day was lost; yeas 22, nays 29.
After the doors were closed, a motion to admit
the reporters during the final deliberations, was
taken up, but pending its consideration the
doors were ordered to be reopened, and the
Senate then took a recess.
Upon reassembling Senator Hendricks moved
that it be considered that the doors are closed,
and that the deliberations be proceeded with
without the Senators leaving the chamber or
disturbing the audience.
His object was to permit the speeches to the
extend of ten minutes allowed under the rules,
without the trouble of going out.
Mr. Fessenden moved to amend that the doors
be closed.
Soveral Senators expressed a degire that the ses
sion might by unanimous consent be 'public, I,is
contemplated by Mr. Hendricks, but this was ob
jected to, and Mr. Fessenden's motion prevailed,
and the doors were again closed.

The Crops Hi Diarylaud.
The Cecil Pernocrat says of the crops in Cecil
county:
Under the influence of the springrlike weather
of the prq4 few days vegetation has made pro
digious growth. Wheat, that a week pr two ago,
looked sickly, has so much revived as to, give
promise of o fair crop. Oats, owing to the late
ness of the season of seeding, cannot , bulbs short
and perhaps light. Farmers are now . Way at
work preparing for corn planting. The fruit crop
can hardly reach an average, judging from pre
sent prospects. The peach trees aro blossoming
sparsely, and 'cannot make a large yield, though
it is probable that the fruit will be better than if
the trees were full. It is, however, impossible to
make an accurate conjecture of the extent of
this crop until after the June storms have passed,
and the annual croakings are, theretore, prema
ture.
The Cruniptonian,- published at Crampton,
Queen Anne county, says:
As the wheat crop is one on which the termer
depends for a profit, and which may properly be
regarded as the main staff of life, the people of
Queen Anne's have particular reason to rejoice,
for very seldom do we see the wheat crop, taking
the whole county throughout, look more pro
mising than it does at the present time. We
find, on passing through Kent and Cecil, as a
general thing, the wheat does not look so well as
it does in our own county. This is owing, in part
we presume, to the difference in the nature of
the soil, as the land in Kent. and also in
tome parts of Cecil, is rather stiffer and more
given to clay. The wheat crop may not get az
early a start in the spring, but wheat throughout
Maryland, and in other sections of the country,
so far as we have been able to hear from, looks
very promising. We are Inclined to think that if
our farmers would use more stable manure on
their wheat they would greatly profit by so doing
for there is no crop that shows so quickly and to
so great an extent the benefits - of this manure as
the wheat crop. The effects of the slightest man
uring are readily seen. It gives a strong fall
growth to the roots of the plant, enabling it the
better to endure winter freezing, and by its pul
verizing agency renders the soil friable, a condi
tion so essential to a vigorous growth. Its sum
mer influences are not less beneficial. This vig
orous growth of the fall is early resumed to
spring, enabling the plants to overcome the at
tacks of the fly. It rapidly hurries them through
the ripening stage, thus lessening the dangers of
the rust.
The Hagerstown Mail says:
In Washington county the prospect was never
better. Within the past two weeks the growth
of the wheat has been almost unparalleled. The
fruit has not been injured. The only cause of
complaint the same daiupneta which has been
so beneficial to the growing crop has retarded
the putting in of the corn crop. Activity 'will
bring this all right.
American Sankiay•nelkool trnion—rho
Anniversary ha new York.
[From the N. Y. Tribune of today.]
The American Sunday-School Union held its
52d anniversary yesterday, in the Northwest Re
formed Presbyterian Church (Rev. H. D. Gauss)
in West Twenty-third street, near Sixth avenue.
At 2.30 the Sunday-school children, preceded by
handsome banners, entered the church. Theo
polius A. Brouwer, Esq., Chairman of the
Committee of Arrangements, called the as
sembly to order, and in an ad—
dress welcomed the hildren to the church.
Attu singing several hymns and the offering of a
prayer, Mr. Suiten of Jersey City, addressed the
meeting. His remarks were listened to with
great attention. The great and good men of the
future should be found in the same Sabbath
School with the future good mothers and wives.'
The Rev. Mr. Sabine followed, and spoke elo
quently of the Sabbath school. The scholaxe
song very sweetly, and, in their neat dresses with
their pretty badges, seemed to enjoy the seem
Services were also held in other places.
Services were announced to take place in' the
evening,and after the benediction the schools dis
persed.
The rain, ever lurking in ambuscade during an
niversary season, rushed out and poured down in
pitiless torrents during the evening. Notwith
standing this, a very large audience greeted those
who wore to deliver the addresses of the time
sten. The Rev. Isaac Ferris presided. At about
7% o'clock the exercises began with the hymn,
"No time to waste," after which prayer
was offered by the Rev. J. W. Buck
lend. The Annual Report of the Colvesponding
Secretary, the Rev. R. J. W. Bueldead, revealed
a very satisfactory state of affairs. The Rev. John
Hail delivered a very powerful address, after
which the hymn, "Work for the Night is Coming,"
was sung. The Rev. H. D. 6111193 t pastor of the
church, now made eloquent and touching re
marks. The singularly appropriate hymn, "Let
me Die in the Harness," followed the remarks of
Mr. Ganse. The Rev. J. T. Duryea spoke feel
