LADY DROWNED IN A BATH.-The valley Wing

LADY DROWNED BAru.-The valley Wing
says:
We regret to learn that lady by the name of Mrs.
Stears, Of Pennsylvania, drowned in the bath at
the Roanoke Red Sulphur Springs, on Saturday
morning last. The circumstances attending the case,
as we have heard them, very mysterious. 1t
seems that Mrs. Stears, together with two or three
other ladies, bad gone to tbe bath in company
There being two apartments in the bath, Mrs s. &C.
cupied one while the other ladies entered the other.
servant girl entered the bath room with Mrs. Stears.
She was told to leave and that when needed, Mrs. S.
would call for her. She accordingly retired to the
adjoining room. and there remained until the other
ladies were ready to leave. On returning to the door
leading the apartment which had been entered by
Mrs. S., it was found to be locked. The door was
Immediately forced open, and Mrs. S. was found ly
ing in the water but when rescued, life extinct
The water in the bath being only some four and
half feet Deep how she could have been drowned,
under all the circumstances, is very remarkable
The deceased we learn leaves husband and several
children to mourn her loss.

New ENGLAND HEATHEN-The following state
ment was made in arepoEt on Home Missions recent
ly submitted at the Massachusetts General Associa-
ton:
From reliable statistics, it appears that in Maine
New Hampshire. Vermont and Massachusetts,, not
more than one quarter of the whole population are
in the habit of attending church, There are one
million three hundred thousand people in New Eng
land who, so far as attending church is concerned,
are, practically like the heather. There are TWEEN
ty-six towns in this State which have no evangelical
preaching"
The New York Observer remarks, that if the above
statements correct, they ought to produce more
startling effect than earthquake but it is inclined
to think there must be some mistake in the natter
After some pertinent observations on the subject,
the Observer concludes by saying:
1t occurs to us to suggest, though it may not be
we'll received that such reproof as this before the
churches of Massachusetts, it is far important
to consider the destitute and suffering condition of
these perishng hundreds of thousands at their own
door than to be Unfortunately disturbed by the neg
lect Of the American Tract Society to publish the
subject of slavery. The "heathens" at our own
doors the object of our first concern and if we

Unac. quainted with the French language, vet unwilling to show his ignorance, he poin- ted to the first line inth bill of fair, and the polite waiter brought him plate of fragrant beef soup. This was very well, and when it was dispatched he pointed to the second line. The waiter understood him perfectly, and brought him vegetable soup. Rather more soup than want" thought he, 1" but i. is Paris fashion" He duly pointed to the third line, and a plate of tapioca broth was brought him |; again 10 the fourth, and was furnished with a bowl of preparation of arrow root. He tried the fifth line and was supplied with some gruel kept for invalds. The by- islanders now supposed that they saw an unfortunate individual who had lost all his teeth, and our friend, determined to getas far from the soup as possible, pointed in despair to the last line on the bill of fair. The intelligent waiter, who saw at once what he wanted, politely handed hinl-a bunch of tooth-picks. This was too much --our countryman paid his bill, and in- continently left.
