A STORY COSTRADICTED.

We have mentioned that the present revival bas
tcen in marked degree free from undue excess Of e1-
element or enthusiasm, or unusual scenes and CIR
cumstarces An instance to the contrary is now going
the rounds of the papers as having occurred in Wor'
cetter, Mass. The story s that watchman in that
city heard singular noise a Little aller midnight on q
Saturday night, and upon drawing near they hoard
first prs. er ard then singing, the words being
lection from Wattss Hymn They also observed
four men standing upon the edge of the ornamental
por in the yard Of wellkn9wn citizen, and awaited
sp1iously the result. Very hole was made in
the ice, ami two OF the young men walked iotO the
ckment, and each Immediately immersed his cOmrade.
Amer another prayer and another hymn they turned to
lesye, when the watchman Intercepted them and in-
quIed, What on earth they were about! ?! They
replied that the wet and dripping individual who was
shivering before them had just become converted and
coald7t rat urK morning to be baTs';ea." This
story has been twice fatty conradicted BY religious
paper Published in Hartford which states that it
simply fabrication.

" To hs Ediior Of The " y. Tyi6uHe.
"SIR: In your most interesting accounts OF the ro-
lgious awakening in New-York in THE TRIBUNE, You
have rot mentioned quite a number OF different
Churches and congregations in which the good work is
going on. Among them | do not see mentioned
any Upitsrian or ULiverSahst Churches. ! feel
deep interest to know if there any unusual feeling
manifested amopg these denominations, or either OF
them, upon the subject Of religion. Have any prayer
meetings been ipsugurated, OIL any conversions taken
place emopg theml
Yours truly w. v. L.
In answer to our correspondents inquiry, we may
merton that, although there has been no formal re-
viya.moyemeut' in the Unitarian the Unlyer;alst
CHURCHES Of the city, yet among their members and
adherents there il strong syopathy existing with
many Of the movements in progress in E' 'augel-
cal ORGANIZATIONS. The indications OF this are the
numbers who attend the daily noon prdyer-meetlngs
ard unite in the Offering Of prayer. As general
thing, they do rot .rympatbile with anything In
the form OF euch religious enthusiasm but are most
wiling to tolerate any effort put forth in sincerity and
good faith.

WEEDS PATENT SEWING MAcHINE.-This is the
most reliable Sewing Machine ever offered in this
market, both in the quality of its work, its dura-
bility and simplicity. The operation of it is easier
learned than that of any other Machine, while 1t
works with ease on the finest silk or the heaviest
cloth or leather, on either Of which it works IN q
very superior manner; making q straight evenly
laid seam, much finer than ordinary hand work,
while both sides of the cloth are stitched alike. 1t
rarely gets out of working order or requires re-
pairing, and is so simple that an operator can per-
form ali ordinary repairs on it, until il is worn
out. With these advantages over other Machines,
we feel confident Weeds Patent Sewing Machines
will best meet the wants of Families, all kinds OF
Manufacturing Clothiers, Taylors, Boot and Shoe
Makers, or any others requiring a seam in their
work. Harness and Saddle Manufacturers will
find this a Machine that will do their work in a
rapid and substantial manner, and much nicer than
the ordinary way. Families who require much
sewing will find this Machine peculiarly adapted
to their wants, besides saving labor enough In a
few months to pay for it. Tailors will find II great
saving by using this Sewing Machine, besides
being Away. sure of q superior quality Of work
that does not rip, and that looks much nicer than
hand work.
