Anecdote of the new CHAPLAIN,

The Rev. Henry Clay Dean, the pren-
ent chaplain of the United States SEN
ate, was some years since resident of
Observation-Disclosures. While preach
ing one day Mt church situated few
miles from Fairmont, he was annoyed
by the inattention Of his congregation,
as manifested in turning their heads to
see every person tina, came 10. "Brcth-
rcn," said he, "it is very difficult to
preach when thus interrupted. Now
do you listen to me- and ! will tell you
tho name of every man as lie enters the
church." OF course this remark at.
tracted universal attention. Presently
some one entered. "Brother William
Satterfield," called out the preacher,
while that brother was astonished be-
You'd measure, and cndenvorcd in vain
10 guess what was the matter Anotb-
er person came in---"brother William
Me!ler," bawled the preacher with a
like result, and so perhaps in other ca
ses. After while the congregation
were amazed at hearing the preacher
in loud voice : "A little, old man, with
a blue coat and white hat on; don't
know who he is, you may look for your
selves. "-Fairm0nt Vrgiaian. 49,.
