Remarkable Devotion to the Memory Of
Pastor.

Remarkable Devotion to the Memory Of a
Pastor.
Many Of our readers reIuem1f tho dis;res
ing events Of the death Of Rev Ias. Noarse,
hen principal Of the Central Academy. He
lett this city last July, on a visit to the south
ern part of Iowa, and, when returning, was
attacked with cholera at Salem, Iowa, where
he died aftor an illness of few hours.
Mr.. Nourse removed to this city in 1S49,
from Milroy, Pa, whore he was pastor of the
Presbyterian church When his former con.
gregstion heard Of his death, and that his re-
mains rested far from his homo, they sent a
delegation to exhume and bring back his
body. Two gentlemen were appointed to per.
form that duty, and immediately started on
their mission. On arriving at Salem they
found that the inhabitants were terror stricken
at the idea of raising the corpse, and did every
thing IN their power to dissuade them. But
the committee wore firm. One of them WAS
taken sick, and the other could obtain no az.
sistance, though he offered exorbitant sums.
He then bought the necessary tools-for no
one would lend them-and alone opened The
grave The second night after his arrival
The next morning. he with difficulty OBJ
tanned assistance in raising the coffin to tn Q
surface and placing it in the Zinc box pre-
pared for it; but then NO one in tho town
could be hired to sodsr on the top, and he had
to send some distance to find anothe, person
to have it done. When that was accomplished.
and all encased in a wooden box, the citizens
could not do too much in honor to the de
ceased, and when the remains were taken to
the boat, long procession followed them.
The committee were faithful to their trust
there also. A hurricane sprang up, and much
Of the deck load was swept overheard. The
coffin was thrown on end but one OF the gen =.
tlemsn threw himself upon it, aud held il
down until it could be properly secured.
The remains Of the faithful pastor now rest
near tho church he served 50 we'll The ex-
penses of the sxhumation, near 200 dollars.
we're cheerfulIy contributed by the grateful
congregation over whom he had presided
nearly twenty years. His family will soon
return to their old home.
We seldom have seen such tribute of re-
spect paid to one after death.

BALTIMORE CORRESPONDENCE

BALTIMORE, March 20, 1855.
have just seen letter from our esteemed
townsman Col. John s. Cuttings, ESQ, dated
Havana, 18th inst. lie was to sail on the I5.b
in the Black Warrior for New Orleans, whore
no purposes remaining for some time. He
writos in coed spirits, and has greatly recov.
cred in health. This will DO welcome irtelIi.
gence to bis many friends, not only in this
city but in Washington The health of his
wife, who accompanies him, is good
The rumored death of tho Emperor Nicbo.
las, is yet topic of much conversation There
are many who still believe the whole affair TO
be either hoax or Il mistake. have seen a
commercial circular, received by large
house IL this city from their CORRESPONDENT in
London, to which is added a postscript saying
that rumor prevailed in Londsn lust before
the sailing Of the Africa, that the Empress
not tho Emperor, Of Russia was dead This
would seem to throw some doubt on the sub.
ject and to make the least of it, leaves room
for speculation. For my own part, am very
incredulous in reference to tbs Cars death.
There is no tangible evidence to my mind that
such an event has taken place. On the other
band, the arguments to prove that he still
lives are abundant
The fact that Lord John Russell received
such intelligence, proves jast CO hing He is
