sistent member,-"in the confidence of a
certain faith; in the comfort of reasonable,
religious. and holy hope; in favour with her
God, and in perfect charity with the world"

sion Oh Tuesday evening was the greatest
point of attraction in the national metropolis
1t is estimated that nearly seven thousand
ladies' and gentlemen crowded the spacious
narlors and halls to pay their respects to
President Buchanan. Probably every state
of the Union was represented.
One Of the most happy features OF the scene
was the reciprocal cordiality which charas-
terized visiting statesmen on shaking hanos
with the President. Gentlemen of all polltl,,
cal preferences appeared as cheerful ana
iocund as if they had never differed IN opln'
ion There was complete armistlce In po-
litc., for the time being at least.

John Keeie, Thomas Wright and John Hart
MEET and were worth but little; but two cows
were killed which the owners valued at ST.
eoch. and three others were 50 badly injured
that they cannot live. The fire was the
work Of an incendiary.
The fremen or those who accompanied
them last night. had series of rlotous pro
ceedings, which has resulted in several ar
rests. No lives were lost or serious wounds
inflicted. Let Washington initiate the ex
