SINGULAR AND PRovIpENTIAL CIRcUM-
srANcE.-On Sunday morning last, about o
o'clock, the Cd Presbyterian Church, in this
place, the basement story Of which is brick,
and the upper of wood-works, suddenly part
ed at the summit Of the walls and the ralters,
joists, guerders, &c. fell, with a tremendous
crush, strcwing the interior with fragments of
the ruins. The frame and the roof, are still
standing, but in a very dilapidatcd condition.
What adds to the rarity of an accident Of this
character to frame building, is the fact that
it had been very recently erected. 1t had
given no indications Of its frailty, and this ca
tastrophe was consequently entirely unex-
pccted. Divine service, indeed, had been ap-
pointed for a sacramental occasion. The
weather was exceedingly nclcment, which
might have prevented the asscmblage of a
large congregation, even had service been
held or that day. But the Imagination shud-
ders at the inevitable loss of life and limb
which would have been the consequence of
this unfortunate event, had it occurred whilst
a congregation was worshipping within the
walls of the church. Providentialy, no per-
son was injured, though we, understand that
the sexton, colored man, made a narrow cs-
cape, having left the house, which he had
been putting in order for the day, but few
moments before the occurrence Of the acci-
dent Lp,chbwgh Virginian.

BLAsPHEMY.-We have seen with aston
ishment, Jackson hand-bill, published in this
city, the whole wit Of which, if any there be,
consists in running parody upon the Lords
Prayer, and part of the Episcopal Seryice.-
That such abominabe stuff should be put
forth by Atheists and Infdels, to crafty their
en,nity to the Christian Religion, is not very
remarkable but, that it should be published
for EisctiZer'ng purposes, argues either that
the deprAed wretches concerned in it, are
mistaken in their estimate of the moral char
acter of this city, or that WE are. Surely it
cannot be, that our population is so sunk in
moral degradation, that the rankest hlasphemy
is passport to their favor!

A DARK DAY IN QUEBEC.-Onc of the dark
da VS. which frequently occur at Quebec about
the fall of the year, has lately taken place
there. The Montreal Gazette Of the 18th
instant thus notices il:
"Friday was very remarkable day, altho'
in this country not without precedent. The
morning was one of those mornings of low
ering appearance, accompanied by strong
wind from the south, which usually indicates.
much rain. About twelve o'clock the atmos-
phere over head was extremely dense, and
the horizon to the southwark cleared; produc-
inc singular effect. The wind shifted from
its original quarter, and followed the sun to
the westward, from whence it blew with great
violence. By one o'clock the day began to
darken to an unusual degree, and the wind it.
self felt hot. BY two the darkness was in
convenient and by three o'clock it was such
as to cause the Court Of Kings Bench to he
adjourned to oblige all those who bad busI-
ness to transact to resort to the aid ofcandles;
and to work strongly upon the nerves and ap-
prehensons of the weak. The wind having
died away this darkness continued TILL very
near five o'clock, when breeze sprung up
which cleared the atmosphere to Its usual
brightness and lghtncss, the mist which had
enveloped us passing away TO inc eastwuru.
We have little doubt that this unusual state
of the atmosphere was produced by some un-
usual large fire in tho woods to the south
west of the city, for we remarked that the
rain water which fell during the continuance
of the darkness was not only discolored but
black; having smell Of fire, and tasting
strongly Of smoke. =,
Il IS to be remarked that similar dark day,
but accompanied by darkness of deeper cast
and longer duration, occurred in 1919; and on
the 18th October, 1885, (of which yesterday
happened to be the annvcrsary,) there was a
day of darkness which inspired an almost
universal terror. day when, as IN the land
of Epypt the stoutest hearts quallcd before
what they conceived to be the visitation OF
Omnipotence. On the day OF which we are
now speaking, the atmosphere bad, by twelve
o'clock at noon, become so dense that when
anv one passed on either side OF the street,
the listener to his footsteps heard the sound,
but could distinguish nothing beyond sort
of an OPAQUE moving shadow, and there was
no intermission Of darkness until the rising OF
the sun next morning.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.-The Boston papers
state that Mr.. James Perkins left the Eastern
stage office, in Ann street, on Wednesday
evening of last week, between five and six
o'clock, for Cambridge Port. Previous to
starting, he told his son, a lad about | years
old, and another man in his employ, not to
be uneasy should he be absent until after 10
O'Clock. His hat and pocket book were found
the same evening on Cambridge bridge, the
latter rifted Of its contents, excepting some
papers. His son says that he had with him
about $600.--Mr. p. was Postmaster at New
ington, N. II. which place he left for Brgh-
ton with drove of cattle and sheep, and sold
them at Brighton on Monday.
The Galaxy of Saturday says, "rumors are
in circulation, which if they had any founda-
tion, would lead to the suspicion that Mr.. Per-
klns, the Newngton Postmaster is still alive
1t was stated to us this evening" that Mr.
Perkins applied to two Physicians in Ports
mouth IN. H.) for vaccindtion, and that he
was particular in his inquiries as to the safe
ty of travelling after the operation. 1t is also
said that his affairs are much involved
and that one of his creditors is notwithstand-
ing his disappearance" in pursuit of him."
1t certainly is rather singular that his hat
and pocket book should have been found on the
bridge. Had he been robbed and murdered,
the perpetrators of the deed would not unne-
cessarily have left behind them clue which
might lead to their detection.
The above named Mr. Perkins, who it ap-
pears was the Jackson Postmaster in New
ington, has since made visit to this place.
lie arrived here fortnight ago to-day, in the
steamboat from Providence, and proceeded to
Mr.. Hassard's Hotel where be called for a
private room, and Immediately went to bed.
On Friday he stopped at one of our Dry
Goods Stores, and bought pockct-book, in
Which he put considerable bundle Of paper
money that was loose in his coat pocket. He
said that he had come from Lower Canada,
and was in quest Of a place to settle--should
20 to Block Island, and if he did not conclude
TO stop there should go to Kentucky. lie
was probably in search fan airy situation
He did not, however, repair to Block Island,
but proceeded to Middlctown, on this Island,
and engaged board at a farm house, where he
was traced by the Sheriff from New liamp-
shire, and apprehended on Tuesday evening
of last week. At the time of his apprehcn-
sion, he was employed in husking corn. He
had about his person about four thousand dol
Iars-3,1OO of which in U. s. Bank bills of
SlOO each, were sewcd into his shirt. He
made no resistance, although in one of his
pockets was found loaded pistol. The
Sheriff of New Hampshire left town with him
in the steamboat Il week ago yesterday 70,
Providence. 1t is said lie had been guilty o.
sundry disreputable transactions in Ncwing
ton, and had absconded with considerable
sums of money entrusted to his care.

ThoTnton, for slanderous words, uttered by
the defendant against the plaintiffs character
for chastity" verdict Of t,oelve hundred
dollars was rendered for the plaintiff. We
learn that the case Of slander was clearly
made outfit so, the severity of the verdict
is fully justified, if we consider the fagi-
tous cnormity of the crime. There stands
not recorded on the catalogue of moral evils
q crime, that surpasses, in wickedness. that

Yet, there is no evil more prevalent in the
land. When barren and cnvious minds
congrega,e together, having naught beside
to while away the tedium of an hour. the
fount Of detraction is drained to its very
dregs to afford nourishment to their sterility.
1t is full time that this extensively vicious
practice should be bridled. Thoughtless--
and may we not add malignant expressions
against female character are but too often
unbushing'y uttered, and enter greatly into
the conversations of vulgar minds--infct-
ing wounds, which time itself may fail to
heal. Experience points .out the pcrnicious
effects of thispractice.. Truth, Virtue, Jus
tlce, regards II with adherence but their
voices are unheeded. Slander most sorely
aiiiIcts society. 1t creates unpleasant suspi-
cions--alienafes the tenderest affections Of
which the human heart is susc eptible, and
sewers the strongest ties of friendship. The
most vrtuous arc often its victims, and they
who have anticipated hours of joy and tron-
