Methodist metropolitan Church.

The corner stone of the Methodist Me-
rtropolitan Church, about to be erected in
Washington City, was laid on Monday
last, the 23rd inst, with Masonic and
other ceremonies. The address was de-
livcred by Bishop Simpson. The follow
ing we clip from the correspondent OF
the Baltimore Clipper:
"The address of Bishop Simpson was
not only listened to with pleasure, but
doubtless with profit. There was not a
letting ofI-of mere oratorial gas, but I'M
studied, "tclIing" e!oquence, which de-
lighted all within the sound Of his agrcea-
Die voice. There was one part parIIcu-
lally which warmed up the pIous as well
as the patriotic feeling. lie was giving the
reasons why churches should be losered
in the land, and why the "MelrOpoliIan"
should be erected, when lie remarked, in
substance, "whcn we look at this city, on

Sad Affair.

We are called upon 10 note very lam
entable affair, which occurred IN our coun-
ly on last Friday morning. WM. WEST,
Esq, an aged an esteemed citizen OF
our county, shot his son-in,Iaw JEFFER-
son SMITH, dead. The circumstances al
tending this melancholy affair, as near as
we have been able to Iearn,are as follows {:
Smith was very dlstemPered man, and
was in the habit Of treating his wife in a
most shameful manner, whipping her al
times and maIlreallng her in almost every
possible manner. On Friday morning
Smith went to Mr.. Vests, where his
wife was, and acted in very violent man
ner. Mr.. West wentOut and drove him
away. Smith started for his home, and
in ashorl time returned with a gun threat
ening to shoot Mr.. West, but as he rear
ed the house he observed his wife running
into the kitchen. He picked up spade
and commenced forcing the door, and
while in that act, Mr.. West shot him,
with a fowling piece, out of the window.
Smith fell automatically expired Mr..
West surrendered himself TO the authori-
ties and has been bound over to answer
the charge of killing at our next COURT

contained for The last eight or len days
columns of details Of the capture of Sc

been successful. Itwas certainly grand

exist. The fact is, the cause Of this d.

have been no new cases this week.

ONIONS FOR PoULLRY.--ScarceIy too
much can be said in praise Of onions for
fowls. They seem TO be preventive
and remedy for various diseases to which
domestic poultry is liable. Having lre.
quendy tested their exce,Iencies, We can
speak underslandngIy. For gaPes and
Inflammation OF the throat, eyes and head,
onions are almost specific. We would
recommend giving fowls, especially the
young chicks, as many as they will eat
twice or three times a week. They should
be finely chopped. A small addition Of
corn meal is an improvement.

is singular fact, and one important to be
generally known that the oysters of our
waters thus far Ibis season, have proved
markedly deleterious TO health. Persons
have been taken violently i'll, after eating
them raw especially with cramp, colo,
choIera-moIbus, &c, and in some cases
death has ensued. Crabs, too have pro-
duced similar results. An old and ex-
perienced fisherman states that in his
judgment, oysters and crabs, this season,
are impure, unhealthy, possessed of some
poisonous substance, and unsafe to be
eaten.

By George Lippard. Author of :. Adonai -
Washington and his Generals 49,. The Quaker
City, &c. Cincinnati: H. Nj. RuIison. 1854.
For sale at Hal.'s Book Store
This. the last work of Geo. Lippard,and. in inter-
est thought and inagnationis worthy of its author.
Lippard's life was one of vicissitude sorrow and
disappointment cIouded his last days, but there
are those who loved him and with whom his
memory will always be cherished.
He was but 81 years old when he died. He
was left an orphan at II years of age, without
trade, money, or friends. At ID he secured a
place as reporter in daily newspaper. His first
novel appeared when he was 81 years old. The
Legends of the Revolution. Quaker City, Legends
of Mexico, followed in rapid succession, and en-
joyed wide circulation. His last work is Upper
Ten and Lower Million. Lippard's favorite book
was the White Banner the Code of the Brother
hood Of the Uuion, and his views of Society.
About three years ago he lost dearly beloved
sister-then wife on whom he passiOnateiy do
ted, was taken from him. and soon his only child
followed its mother. Since that time he has been
a misanthropic wanderer.
He was man of ability, of earnest nature and
of strong preudices. Misfortune followed his foot
steps, aud to the outward world the eetness of
Lippard best, remember him affectionately.
