CHURCH AyALANCHE-BY DAY L1Gnr Du-
ring last year the Rev. NORRIS DAY found i. in his
way to come to Brandon, and to expound the scrin
lures to those who should see fit to give him hear
ing During the time Of his stay, quite number of
members of the Congregational church rather slid
Oil from their former position, and with several 9TH
ers who had belonged to the Baptist and Mothodist
churches, stipulated with Mr.. Day to serve then,
half the time for year. But as cold weather was
coming on III real earnest, and having loud call to-
migrate to the SOUTH for the purpose of evangezing
some New York sinners, Mr.. Day took his flight to
warmer climate, leaving his new flock in the dark.
Or at least destitute of the Daylight they had en-
joyed, and to breast the northern blasts, together
with the peltings he knew they would naturally re-
ceiye from those from whom he had been instrument
tai in inducing them to separate.
The first summer month has now arrived, but we
see no return Of this Day,to illuminate the pathway
of the flock he left at the time of his migration We
will take this opportunity to suggest to those who
know his whereabouts, that they call on Mr.. Day to
return soon, or to appoint competent and faith
full undershepherd to stand sentry here lest some Of
the lambs get stayed far away that they can not
be brought into this fold again.
We have understood that Rev. Moses Chase, pas
tor Of the Congregational church, suggested that
those who had left, and whose moral and religious
characters stood beyond reproach, be presented with
letters Of dismissal, certificates of release, on ap-
plcation being made. We think such plan
to be wise one and far better than to adopt the no.
ton that the church has no power to release nle1-
Der. Whether any Of the stray members have call
ed for such certificates we have not been informed.
One old deserter, William P. Wheeler, was pub
lcly accommodated from the Congregational
church last Sabbath. We do not understand that
any charges of immortality according to tho common
acceptation of that term, brought against him.
but that they consisted in a breach of his church
covenanted Obligations, &c. Well, if the parties
could not walk together in harmony, they should
separates but the idea that the pastor of tho church
should assume the authority Of handing the delin-
quent member over to the buffeings of His Satanic
Majesty, appears little like stretch Of power !

FIRE. On Friday last, about noon, the
house occupied by Mr. Atwood and owned
by Horace Adams of this village, was discov-
cred to be on fire. The flames spread rap
idly, and soon enveoped the back part in
a sheet of flame, before the engines could be
brought to work upon it, but it was finally
subdued, before the flames reached the up
right part, with the loss of the kitchen and
wood house roofand other damages.
Loss to the house some $S150-insured.
The furniture was considerably damaged,
and we presume no insurance. 1t caught

LAKE DISASTERS. Last Saturday was a
rough day on the lakcs-the wind blowing
II perfect gale Several vessels came up to
rur harbor in a fleet. Three of them missed
the entrance of the harbor, and passed south
Of the pier. The schooner Baltic let 90 her
anchor the Maha!ah and Lucy A. Blossom
went ashore two or three miles south. 1t is
feared that further disasters may have occur
down the Lakes, But we can't have any
harbors. Polk wants the money to kill the
Mcxicans so our sailors must perish, and our
property be destroyed on these rough lakes

BURGLARY A lad about sixteen years Of
age, named William Briggs, was brought be-
fore Henry Smith, Esq, on Monday, charged
with feloniously entering the meat market of
Messrs. II. & E. Hadley, of this village, and
stealing a small trunk from the counting DOM
containing $3.50 in bank bills and $500 in
notes. 1t appears by his own confession that
he entered the market through window, the
fastenings Of which lie had removed during
business hours in the evening, took the trunk
and carried it down to the bridge, and after
breaking it open, and securing a part, or all
of the money, threw it into the river, together
with ita remaining contents. About 500 of
the money has been recovered.
He was ordered to give bail in the sum of
$500 for his appearance at the term of the
Court of Common Pleas in September, and
in default thereof, to stand committed. He
failed to procure bail, and has since been COM
mitted to jail-W Ph@nir.

AT regular meeting of the New York
Photographic Society, in its rooms at the
| American Hall, corner of Broadway and
| Grand street, on the evening of May 14,1847,.
after prolonged discussion and many amend.
mcnts, the following preamble and resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, We are convinced that the speedy
introduction of Photography into general use,
would in various ways, directly and indirect
ly benefit mankind
And aohereaS, The universal favor with
which it is regarded by all who have examin-
ed 1t, and the concentrations so freely be-
slowed upon it by large proportion Of the
best conducted and most influential papers of
the country, induce US to believe that it is no
longer necessary to expatiate upon its useful
ness, or to expend our efforts in endeavoring
to prove what is already admitted, but rather
that we should take such steps as will tend to
make every one DESTROYS to become theoreti-
eally and practically acquainted with it, by
large and frequent public exhibitions of the
skill Of those who have already acquired it,
and by making the result of these exhibitions
known throughout the country by the aid Of
the public press
And whereaS, The societies which have
been formed by philanthropic individuals for
the purpose OF encouraging Improvements in
the various fields Of industry, literature and
science, do, among other stimuli to individual
exerton, frequently and benefcalIy use that
of awarding premiums to those who excel in
those several departments;
And ThercdS, 1t is our belief that tho
awarding of such premiums does much to-
wards pereCting men in their different call
ngs, and thus contributing to the general adj
vancement of the race, therefore,
Resolved, That this Society recommend
that there he held in the Broadway Taberna-
Gle, in the city of New York, in the second
week of May, 1913, a convention of rapid
Photographic writers, and that twelve prizes
be awarded to the twelve persons who shall
successfully compete for them, according to
the following terms:
The competitors shall be divided into two
classes-the first to consist of such ladies and
gentlemen as may choose to enter it, without
auy reference to the time that they may have
studied or practiced photography, and the
prizes to be awarded to them shall be as fol-
lows:
To the most rapid writer, 5000
To the next, 100
To the next four, 80 each.
The second class to consist only of persons
who shall establish by certificate signed by
three respectable persons in their ncighbor-
hood, that on the first of June, 1847, they had
never paid any attention to the practice of
Photographic writing. The prizes for this
class likewise to be

without the saving Of any thing, The building
was owned by David Pamenter, and was
not insured. The machinery was owned and
operated by Hobrook & Wilder, and was in

DESTRUCTION OF THE LONG ISLAND
FARM BUILDINGS. The buildings on Long
Island Farms lately and for long time occu-
pied by the Commissioner of the Aims House
as home for poor children thrown upon the
charities of the city, we're destroyed by fire
Friday morning.
Fortunately all the children had been re-
moved to the new Accommodations prepared for
them on Blackwell's Island, and all the public
property was also removed except the coal !;
which however, we believe, escaped the flames.
The whole ofthc buildings, with the exception
of the lower one and the cottage are a heap
of ruins.
The buildings were set on fire by the mob
to prevent them being occupied as an hospi-
tai.
