Rev. a. R. Gray was dismissed from the
pastorate of the Congregational Church, at
Coventry, June 29th.
At St. Albans, fifteen were added to the
Congregational Church on the 4th inst, by
profession fourteen of whom were young
men, mostly under 20 years of age,-and
four by letter
The Congregationalist says there are but
three or four towns in Massachusetts without
evangelical preaching.
In Philadelphia the manifestations of re-
llglous interest have at no time been greater
than now The Noon-day prayer meetings
are kept up, and private meetings are
held IN great numbers. Many of the
Gremen have been converted, and PRAYER
meetings are held in seventeen Of the engine

A DANGEROUS SOUTHERN MAN.-Judg,
Green of the Law School at Lebanon, Ten
nessee, lately dared to write to an Alabama
paper as follows:
" 1 have not intended to defend the institution
on Slavery. have long considered it an evil-ar
evil tas Mr. Rives once admitted in tho Senate,
morally, socially and politically. Until within
the hrst twenty-five years never heard any well
informed southern gentleman give expression to
any contrary sentiment. About that time Mr.
Calhoun first announced the opinion that the insttu-
ton was a desirable one. Now, many Southern
men, following Mr.. Cahoun,-and pressed by ag-
gressive attacks from the North, hold the same
opinion. But have never sym athized with this
sentiment. I hold slavery to be an ovl-a greater
evil to the master than to the slave"
of course he is denounced His being q
native Virginian and a slave owner will not
save him. The Savannah Ne,cs character
ICES his sentiment as ga damnable one"
says; g a law professor who, in his social
relations with students, inculcates such doc
trines, backed with the influences of his posi-
ton, and Of kind social nature and pure
individual morality, is dangerous, as well
as untrue citizen in the South" that " the
great Carolinian was correct, and that slavery
is not only right per Sc, but is best for the
that, at the South it is best
for the master and the slaves If Judge
Green holds adverse views, he is dangerous
man for the South, and not fit to instruct
Southern youthsin the laws of their country"
1t trusts that his expulsion from the
school at Lebanon, Tenn, will be insisted on
by the Press of the South, or Southern men
counselled to withdraw their support from
the institution"
Or course they will hound him out of the
State,-for a law professor to be allowed to
think that Slavery is a moral, social and
political cvil-still less to say so-can not be
endured there. Out with him is the cry

throughout the Third Congressional District,
that Hon Homer E. Royce, the present Rep

DEATH OF WHEELER BARNES, ESQ
Wheeler Barnes, ESQ, notice Of whose
death we published in our daily of Monday,
was one Of our old residents. He came to
this village in 1906, and with the exception
of year or SO residence in Oswego, has re-
sided here ever since When in his prime,
he was one of the leading members of the
Oneida county bar, but he has not practiced
in his profession for a number of years.
Judges DEMO and Bronson were students at
law in Mr. Barnes office. William Curtis
Moves, of New York city, was formerly law
partner of deceased. DR.. Buckley, of New
York city, Judge Strong, of Rochester, are
sons-in-law of Mr.. Barnes. ..... ..i.
At the time of Mr.. Barnes death he was
76 years DID, two-thirds of which period he
had passed in this village, and large portion
of it in active business life.-Ron'e Sentinel,
18Th.
Mr.. Barnes was one of the four first gradu-
ates of the University of Vermont, in 1904.
He was present with his two surviving class
mates at the Semi Centennial anniversary,
in August, 1854 and the sight of those three
pray haired men as they stood together in the
dining hall, was the most interesting spec

DEMOCRATIC PLUMBER.

The enormous expenses of the Buchanan
administration--so far ahead of what the ma
tion has ever known before--are wonder to
many simple minded and honest people.
The Boston Atlas throws light on the subject
after this manner
We are satisfied that there is one answer
which will explain much of this mystery
and that is, the money is stolen by and
squandered upon political favorites and parti-
sans. We do not make this charge upon suspi-
cion, but upon the most irrefragable evi-
dence. The Fort Smelling, Willet Point
and New Bedford cases of purchase and sale
are fresh in the recollection of all who read, &
they proved that in these cases some half
dozen Buchananites pocketed about hal' a
million of the money which rightly belongs
to the government, or rather to the country
But it is not only in these grand hauls, these
wholesale stealngs, that the administration
of Buchanan is making itself famous; in the
matter Of contracts, mail lettings and all
similar transactions, full opportunity seems
to be afforded to the followers of Buchanan
nnd an &, dLecompton to push their hands into the
national tieaS.-y --1 take them ont with
all they can grab. In the mater ~, Of WIZ ,,u
wagon road to Arizonia, nearly half mil
hon has been spent already, not dollar of
which has done any good to anybody but the
Buchanan partsans who got the contracts,
nor has it at all advanced the work for
which it was ostensibly spent. In one in
stance the contract for transporting provi-
sions from Memphis, Tennessee, was given to
Democrat at the rate of 81 ,l2 per lb.
freight, when parties offered to carry the
same supplies from Indianola Texas for -
cents n pound
Take IL case of awarding a mail contract,
for the facts of which the Kentucky news
papers vouch. The mail route from Sanford
to Albany. in Kentucky, was let to II. F.
