Mr.. Sharp, so he proposed .ha. The rain
should come in one week, then resuming
his seat. But this would no, do. Many
of the people would not pu, off SO Long

Ia short, The meeting resulted in just no
conclusion q. all, for The people found it VI
terlv impossible to agree upon time when
it should rain.
"Un,i you can make up your minds up

about leaving the church, tive must ell trust

Ere another month rolled by, another

Of the people bad much to dig, and rain
would prevent them. Some wanted the rain
Immediately, some in two and some in three

DfS" 1t appears that Pierce, String
fellow & Co. have hit upon a new dodge
for the early admission of Kansas into
the Union as Slave State. 1t is pro-
posed to annex six counties from w cstern
Missouri to the territory of Kansas.
The six counties have population of
about 70, 900, of which about 5000 are
slaves.
The territory of Kansas proper is
about twice as large as the State of
New York, and the only object the
slaveites could have in view by the
annexation project, is the speedy rush
ing in of Kansas as Slave State, ere
their waning power in the administra-
ton of the affairs of the general gov
ernment shall have entirely passed from
them into the hands of those who will
not consider the propagation of slavery
the great idea of government. For
we'll they know the power is gradually
and certainly passing from their hands
The hand writing is plainly visible on
the wall. The people have become
awakened-hav rent assunder the ties
of party, and have determined to restore
the government to its original purity
and integrity.
The Kansas Herald of Freedom has
positive information that this annexation
project was entertained by the Missouri
Legislature Of last winter, and met with
great favor. That body will convene
again in November next, and there is but
little doubt that in connection with tho
Kansas Legislature, elected by Missou-
rians, )the fraud will be perpetrated, ,
and that soon Kansas will be applying
for admission into the Union as State,
with Slave-holding constitution.
But, Notwithstanding the whole power
of the General Government will be
brought to bear in favor of the scheme,
we mainly doubt hope the power
has already SO far departed from the
house of the schemers, that they will be
unable to accomplish their design Of es-
tablishing and perpstuating the wither-
ing blight of slavery over the virgin SS'l

p~ Our village was enlivened last
week by the visit of the Kentish Gaurds,
of East Greenwich, one Of the oldest
Military Companies in the State-having
been formed at the commencement of
the Revolutionary struggle, by Gen.
Nathaniel Greene, who was its first
Commander. The company is COM
posed of about sixty smart-looking
men. We are not much acquainted
with military tactics (never having been
called upon to do that kind of" duty")
but should judge from what we saw
and heard, that they are well dis
ciplincd corps. They paid a visit to
Watch Hill on Thursday afternoon,
where they received marked attention
from visitors stopping there, and were
provided with refreshments by Mr..
Nash of the Watch Hill House.
Green's American Brass Band, of
Providence, accompanied the Guards
on their excursion to this place. We
cannot speak in too high terms of the
performances of this Band. 1t is said
by those who have means Of knowing,
that they executed their music with
as much artistic skill as Dodworth' s
Band could have done, which has the
reputation of being the best in the
United States. We regret that our
Band did not extend to them the Gus
tomary courtesies by receiving them at
the depot on their arrival, which We
believe is the general practice on such
occasions.
We had the pleasure of taking COL
Bodfsh by the hand, whom we found to
be a very gentlemanly, sociable and
pleasant person. We presume we are
indebted to him for a most delightful
seranadc by the Band, for which he
will please accept our thanks.

For the Echo and Advertiser
Our Band.

Two years ago n Band was organized in
Westerly, now known as the Westerly
Brass Band. Since their existence COM
menced, they have persevercd wonderfully
and nobly, and their Improvement has been
(of late especially very astonishing. Most
people suppose that it is very easy thing
after purchasing the instruments, to keep
up Band; but all such are laboring un-
der trifing error. Our Band, | under
stand. have purchased with the money
earned by them at Concerts, &c., five or six
new instruments, and large quantity of
music, to the amount Of about two hundred
dollars, besides paying for the services of
teacher, rent, Sc, &C., since ithey were
SO kindly assisted by the ladies one year
ago.
They are now in debt one hundred and
fifty dollars, and they are desirous also OF
procuring large double Bass Sax-Ho
similar to the one used by Green's Ameri.
can Brass Band, which will cost two hun
drcd dollars. They will willingly tax
themselves to pay their debt, and they wish
the citizens once more to open their purses
for the new Sax Horn. All who have heard
them play in the street, know that the air
and accompaniment overpower the Bass,
and if the Band is to be kept up it is very
necessary to have more Bass. They are
not discouraged because Green's Band play
better than they do, but they say wait un-
til they have also played t,centy years, and
then see who plays best. They have more
difficulties to struggle against than any
city Band ever has or can have, and they
must have encouragement. Why, a word
OF praise, sometimes, to a boy, will make
him work his fingers off; and when n man
or Band Of men has overcome difficulties,
and set an example of perseverance to a
whole community, they should be praised
and encouraged. and set at work again.
Now gentlemen, while you all have been
ut home with your families, or smoking
your cigar Gfyou are bachelor) in some
friends Office, or earning money for your
own pleasure, these men have been putting
away at those difficult instruments to be
able to afford you qualification and please
your ear with sweet sounds. Encourage
ment in cords is not alone what they desire
money is necessary therefore, when q
subscription is presented, hope our citi-
zcns will be very libcral-don't let the
Band go down.

who go down to the sea in ships
The Band again enlivensd tho hours as
we pressed our way up against the wind,
and while the wind blew almost a gale,
made sure that no one on board should
be afflicted with the blues.
On our way, we passed the River

sleep after a life of turmoil and TOLL
This cemetery, l am informed, was orig
mated and laid out by the Rev. Mr..
Taylor, to whom have so frequently
referred, and to whose taste and industry
your people are SO largely indebted. I
gazed upon it with mingled emotions as
we swept along the rippled waters, and
wondered if those who slept there could
know the quiet beauty of their resting
place, and if they did not sometimes by
their spirit presence cheer the heart of
him who had done so much to make
pleasant the walks of such as should
shed holy tears over their graves.
AT half past six We arrived at our
wharf, and our little company separated,
each to his or her own avocation or
home. / Ijudge from my own feelings,
and from the general expressions of de-
light, that all were 10 excellent spirits
and well pleased with the days enter
tainment. Yours, truly, J.T.

ST- The pain of bcc-sting may be
at once relieved, and the SUBSEQUENT
swelling prevented, by wcttng the part
with spirits Of hartshorn water Of am
monia. The sting is hollow, and there
is little drop of poison at its root that
is driven through it by the pressure of
its insertion, and deposited in the wound
The poison is said to be of an acid na-
ture, and to be destroyed by this volatile
alkali.
The pain Of tooth-achc, also, is re-
lieved oftener by a few drops Of harts-
horn on bit of lint inserted into the
cavity of the tooth, than by any other
application. Keep vial of it we'll corked,
in the house, and if you are fortunate
enough to need it for nothing else, use
1t to resore the color destroyed by fruit
stains, ,-1merican Agriculturis..

After much search and difficulty, a
room recently occupied as a gin shop,
on the corner Of Cross and Little Wa
ter streets, "a portion of the present
House Of Industry,) was rented by Mr..
Pease, and cleansed for chapel. He
now snergetically labored to so concili-
ate bis newly adopted neighbors as to
form q congregation and Sunday school.
A considerable number, both of children
and adults, were soon gathered in all
their filthiness and raggedness, and what
was worse, in their disorderly, drunken,
obscene, profane and savage habits,
which none had ever taught thom to lay
aside, even for an hour.
