A Methodist Love Feast .. One

Ills peculiar + AZURE OF the Methodist
denomination, which is always season
most interesting and most joyous to the
participants, was held this morning in the
church in Church street. Rev. Father
Merrill presided, and all the Methods,
clergy and laymen from abroad, together
with enough 10 fill the church from oul
own churches, gathered for a season Of
refreshing grace. The spirit was allowed
TO rest for moment; few of the speakers
exceeded minute in their remarks, while
some only expressed in the most straight
forward manner their entire faith and love.
A hundred speakers were accommodated
within the hour.
Father Taylor said This was the happi-
est morning Of all the thirty years in which
he had joined in this annual love feast
One speaker said that angels and reporters,
who would spead the glad tidings of the
heavenly JOY here this morning, would have
no trouble in learning that this was Me-
.hodist love feast, and an old fashioned
one; and lie wished 10 be reported in the
company going to Heaven. The souls OF
all who Lave gained the love of God
danced in the fullness of His love in the
light of His glory. Sometimes two per
sons in different parts of the church spoke
together. and as the spirit which actualed
them to speak was the only thing required
to feed the enthusiasm of the audience, it
made no difference at all. One man said
he did business on State street, and blessed
God that the gospel of Jesus was for all.
One aged minister said that yesterday
morning he strayed into Unitarian pray
er meeting went in out Of a curiosity,
which he would not stop to explain-but
he was continually astonished until the
close. He found the same spirit there, ,and
was actually reminded of a Methodist camp
meeting.
Father Taylor had been called to see a
dying Catholic, and she was happy in Je-
sus. We shall begin to think by -and-by,
said he, that Jesus can convert anybody.
A venerable Quaker testified that the
words Of the prophet had been verified in
his experience this morning, for while he
had listened the fire burned. He had
been confirmed in his belief that it was al
ways safe to act on good impressions. He
deprecated sectarian!sm, and prayed for a
Christian union of all denominations. He
believed that Father Taylor had once told
him, that seetarianism was plant that did
not grow in Heaven. He was glad to be
warmed by the spirit of a Methodist love
feast. Speakers Of other denominations
expressed that :he cold forms of theology
were melted in their hearts by love.
The festival closed at halt past ten o.
clock with the benediction pronouced by
Father Merrill.

THE HAUNTED HOUSE
BLACK SWAMP
a Ghost Story Of Thrilling Interest.
BY MAJOR WARD.

In lonely and unfrequented spot, IA
from any habitation, in the black swamp
on the road as you approximate Findlay
from the Maumee, between Portage an6
Van Buren,, is an uncommonly large, old
fashioned house; in the language of the
Dutcbman, sope of the cd and bestesl
kind 1t is extensively known throughout
Northern Ohio as the Woodbury. house, and
has been reported for many years, as the
haunted house of,the black swamp. At
what period it was erected, tradition fails
to tell US; but, aside from the narrative,
there is no doubt it was built in the year
1920, or thereabout; but it has changed
owners so often that it is even difficult to
tell who is its present landlord. DR.. Dun
can, late member of Congress from Cir.
cinnati. deceased, and one Mr.. Gibson, oi
New York, seem somewhat strangely mix.
ed up in its ownerswhip at one time, but
whom its present owner or owners may be
is unknown. The Gibson here spoken Of
is no relation TO William Gibson, one of
institushuns of the city of Tifin.'
The building remains as melancholy
instance of one of the blacklist deeds evel
perpetrated by the wickedness Of man-a
deed of blood.
About the year 1s40, the house was oc-
cupied by one John Cleves, who, accord
ing TO the ghost, committed the murder Of
the ancient pedler Syms. Cleves, although
suspected, was never punished for the
murder of the pedler, as he was called.
But murder win out a secret yengence
seemed to follow him. He was caught in
the act of committing the crime of incest
with his owE sister, convicted Of it, and
sentenced for number of years to the
Ohio State prison,
Cleves was discharged from p:ison at
the expiration OF his sentence, and was for
some time, though his present wherea-
bouts is unknown, wandering about Tole,
do.
There is, within few miles of the
Woodbury. house, an old rookery kept as
tavern, and tenanted by singular looking
old fellow, who calls himself Nc Crory. who
could, if he were inclined, tsll thing OF
two concerning the old house that might
throw considerable light on the subject,
but for reasons best known to himself, he
refrains as much as possible from any illu.
sion to the curious mystery that seem tc
enshroud this deserted ruin.
McCrory is man with strangely mar
ked counienance. In the slang of the
Snowman, he has 'rummy nose; as The
negro preacher says, it is too large for one
man and not large enough two. To us'
the expression of the PLAIN DEALER, Mr.
McCrory is rather 'quesby gug.'
would state here, that our businss:
through the country, was to buy up silpei
coin, coined before the year 1858, and
also, the bank notes of most of the depre
ciated banks throughout the counery. Thi:
necessarily brought us in contact with al
classes Of persons who are to be met with
in business operations. \

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP VS.. SLAVE CATCH
MG.-The Market Street Baptist Church,
of GAINESVILLE, day or two since, expelled
Deputy U. S. Marshal Ezekiel T. Cox. who
had long been one of its Deacons, for his
completely with the late fugitive slave case,
This act has given rise TO some news
paper controversy there. The Courier of
Friday says:
1t is generally supposed in this country,
that any religious organization has right
to determine the requisites of member in
good standing, in its body; and if it con-
siders slave-catching Incompatible with the
principles aud professions of Christianity,
and accordingly expresses preference for
the room over the company of a brother
who may offend in this respect, it ought
to be allowed to do so, without the inter
vention of outsiders. In any event, We
cannot possibly see what possible good is
to be accomplished by dragging the matter
into the newspapers. lfeitber brother Cox
that was--or any of his friends, sup
pose that any political or religious capital
can be made out of il for him in tins COM
munity, they are very much Mistaken
And public opinion may be wrong, but it
is thought hereabouts that the church will
survive both Mr.. Cox's absence and the
Aurora's attacks. Fit can't, it ought to
"go under"

Mr. Speaker am willing TO meet the

The people are not looking for or at the
issues you may raise. The people have not
read your speeches and they don't know
your points. You do not occupy es much
space in the public mind AZ you do in your
own estimation. The people do not know how
many speeches you nave made, their eyes
have not been fixed on your brief and bril-
liant career and the issue YOU have made
ana hneied you could so valiantIy defend

but be comprehends after diligent study

II will astonish any investigating man TO

Still another swesrs in his wrath that the
defeat of the Cloud Land project was in di-
rect opposition to the will of the people
and that his voi;e will ring in clarion tones
against the said defeat. In short hardly q
