GFrom the Caralinan.1
Evangelical Lutheran Synod of South
Carolina and ad iananf Rtafaa

Evangelical Lutheran Synod. of South
Carolina and adjacent States.
This ecclesiastical body held its thirty
second session at Bethlehem Church, in
Newberry District commencing on the 9Th
instant and adjourning the l4th.
The attendance of both clerical and lay
delegates WAS nearly full.
The Rev. J. B. Anthony was elected Prcsi-
dent for the usual term of two years
Rev. j. P. Margart, Recording, and Rev. l..
Eickelberger, reelected Corresponding Sec
retary. vs~.-. sa-. -. -, .....
The contributions for missionary and
other benevolent purposes were unusually
large.
Reports on the extension of the church
in buildings and congregations, besides in
crease Of numbers i'll those heretofore ex-
listing, were very gratifying.
Three young men, graduates Of the in
stitution at Lexington, having served their
time as Liccntiates, were ordained to the
Gospel ministry, and two recent graduates
were licensed to preach.
The exceeding " generous proposals of
Newberry and Walballa, to have the Clas-
sical Theological Seminary removed from
Lexington to one of those places, excited
no little interest. s., ..a<&
. Their claims for scenery salubrity and
continued support; we're ably sustained,
while the friends Of lexington were not de.
fcient in their commendable efforts to re-
tain it. # -. sg ..;E; ;
Outhe question ofrremoval,it was deci-
ded in the affirmative, BY 50 to 20 On
that Of location, it was decided in favor, Of
Newberry. Such being the voice of a large
majority, all personal and local prejudices
we're set aside by unanimous vote TO pro-
mote its best interests. ,'s ts.r-.fs%
A committe was appointed to procure
plans and. estimates for building, to select
the site, obtain new. charter with the nee
essary powers, gain such information, and
take the preparatory steps for: a removal,
reporting to the present Board Of Directors,
who will carry out the resolutions of the
Synod as soon as all the requisitions essential
to a removal have been. complied with.

A Touching Incident.

. "A little girl, in family Of my acquain.-
ance, a lovely and precious child, lost her
mother at an age too early to fix
the lovely features in her remembrance.
She was as frail as beautiful, and as the bud
of her heart unfolded, it seemed as if won
by that mothers prayers to turn instinct
lively heavenward. The sweet, conscien-
tious, prayer-loving child was the idol of
the bercaved family. She would lie upon
the lap Of the friend who took mothers
care of her, and, winding the wasted arm
about her neck, would say: "Now tell me
about mammal" And when the oft-told
tale had been repeated would softly ask,
"Take me into the parlor, Iawant to see nv
mamma" The request was never refused
and the affectionate child would lie for
hours, contentedly gazing on her mothers
portrait But
"Pale and wan she grew, and weakly
Bearing all her pain so meekly
That to them she still grew dearer.
AS the trial hour drew nearer"
That hour had come at last, and the weeping
neighbors assembled to see the little one
die. The dew of death was already on the
flower as its life sun was going down. The
little chest heaved faintil -spasmodically.
"Do you know me, darling9" sobbed
close in her ear the voice that was dearest
but it awoke no answer. -
All at once brightness, as if; from the
upper world, burst over the cbsld's colorless
countenance. The eyclids flashed open, the
lips parted, the wan cuddling hands few up,
in the little ones last i,npulsive effort, as
she looked piercing into the far above.
Mother" she cried, with surprise and
transport in her tone-and passed with that
breath into her mothers bosom.
Said distinguished divine, who stood
by that bed Of joyous death: -.
"lf had never believed in the lninistra,-
ton of departed ones before, I could not
doubt it nowI' 81.
"Peace leave with you," said the wisest
Spirit that ever passed from eSrth to heaven.
Let US be at peace, amid the spirit mysteries
and questionings on which His eye shall
soon shed the light of eternity. 49,.

INcIDEsr-A few months since, q lady
belonging to this city went to New York,
and put up at one of the. Broadway hotels.
After going to her room for the night, she
took out her pocket book and watch, laid
them on the table, and then sat down to
read. Willie engaged in reading, she thought
she heard breathing from some one. .appa-
rently near by, but finally concluded it must
be imagnation.-Soon after, she commen-
ced making preparations to retire, and in
adjusting her hair, she dropped one of, Her
hair pins. While STOPPING to pick it up;
she discovered hat under the bed, aud
a closer observation revealed to her sight
the full:length figure Of a man.. Without
evincing any emotion, she quickly threw d
shawl over her shoulders, went out Of the
room, locking the door after her, and step.
ping into the hall, she:rang The bell, which
summoned TO her assistance the proMietcfsS
who called in the services Of police officer,
and the intruder was arrested. There .was
found on the prisoner a bottle Of chloroorm.
He was convicted on the testimony Of the
lady, and. sent to the Stale prison for. six
months. The sequel Of tic whole was in
dropping the hair pin. ss.s4 .,..e

i, A Young Tobacco Ohewer Cured.

On board ship, one day, we were stow
ing the hammocks, when one of the bo7s
came with his hammock on lis shoulder,
and as he passed, the first lieutenant per-
ceived that he had quid Of tobacco in
his mouth. -...
"What have you got there9" asked the
lieutenant, "a gum-boil2 Your cheek is
much swollen" mo, sir" replied the boy,
"there's nothing at all the matter" 20
there must be; perhaps it is a bad tooth.
Open your mouth and let me see."
Very reluctantly the boy opened his
mouth, which contained large roll Of to-

ant "poor fellow how you must suffer
Your mouth wants overbauling, and your
teeth cleaning Twish we; had dentist
on board but, as we have not, Iwill ope-
rate as we'll as I can. Send the armorer up
here with his tongs." When the armorer
made his appearance with his big tongs,
the boy was compelled TO open his mouth,
while the tobacco was extracted with this
rough instrument. ..
There now!" said the lieutenant, SIN
sure that you must feel better already.
You never could, have any appetite with
such Stuff in your mouth. Now captain
ofsthe,after guard, bring piece of old can.

The captain Of. the after-guard came for
ward, and grinping from ear to ear, put the
boys head between his knees, and scrubbed
his teeth with canvass aud sand for Two or
three minutes. ~. So
"There, that will do" said the lieutenant.
"Now. my. little fellow, take some water
and rinse ont your mouth, and you will
enjoy your breakfast II was impossible

mouth in snch3 q filthy condition.. When
