AN OLD CHURcH.-The Providence Journal
says the oldest Episcopal church in New Eng
land was erected in North Kingston in 1907,
and removed to Wexford in 1900. "For sew
eral years it has not been occupied, more
spacious and conveniently situated church hav-
ing been found necessary but it still stands,
in its primitive integrity an interesting memo
rial of the past-the oldest Episcopal church
now existing in New England. A short time
since, at a meeting of the clerical convocation
held in Wexford, it was proposed on one
Summer afternoon that we would hold one
more solemn service in that venerable edifice.
The old books were carried again into the
chancel the people again came up to the beau
tiful eminence on which the church stands,
and took their seats in the pews where they
worshipped in their childhood, and while the
sparrows, who had found a place about the
altar Of the Lord, chirped and sung among the
timbers, and the backened, tattered drapery
around the windows waved in the wind that
played freely through the broken panes, we
said over the same old prayers which the dead,
whose bodies mouldered under the shadow of
the sanctuary, used in faith and penitence as
their preparation for Heaven"

ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS FOR
A MINISTER John S. Holland of Pembroke,
Christian Co., Ky, offers a reward of $3.50 for
the capture and return to him OF Thomas
Whitlock, Methodist preacher Is years old,
and weighs 179 to $50 pounds. If caught in
a free State the reward is but 500, Has any
body seen Christian minister loose, in this
vicinity, Of about his age and weight If so
here is a chance for speculation by sending
him back to his master in Kentucky. He may
be laboring under the singular illusion that he
is responsible to higher master for his minis
terial movements, and his captor would not
only get $3.50, but also have the satisfaction
Of perhaps, convincing the minister himself
of ''the exceeding sinfulness" of putting "the
higher law above the Constitution Ind

DARING BURGLARY.-The residence of Miss
Silva Gore, in Dudley, was forcibly entered
on the night of the 18th ult. The Webster
Times states there had been rumor that the
lady had in her possession considerable sum
of money, which the burglars undoubtedly cx-
pected to obtain. About ten o'clock on the
night referred to- she had occasion to go into
an adjoining room, which was patialy dark,
and, while feeling her way, her hand fell upon
the shoulder ola man. Considerably frighten-
ed, she uttered a scream, and ran to the house
of neighbor With help she returned to her
own dwelling, but the scoundrels had fled So
precipitate was their fight, that they took moth
ing of value with them.

CONNECTICUT ELECTION DAY.-The Con.
necticut Legislature was duly organized on
Wednesday, May 4, the Republicans electing
all their candidates. Then followed the usual
election parade, which, this year, went of
with unusual pomp and excitement. "Elec-
ton Day" in Connecticut is always rather
grand affair. The Springfield Republican,
having been represented in Hartford on this
occasion, remarks that Massachusetts, pre-
serves only the election sermon, while Con-

TORNADO IN GEoRGIA.-On Friday last,
the 22d inst, a violent hurricane passed over
portion of Scriven county, known as ''The
Fork of Briar Creek" spreading devastation
and ruin in its course. Large trees were torn
from their roots, or snapped asunder as dry
reeds, while the rain fell in torrents The
course of the storm was somewhat tortuous,
passing directly over the place of Mr.. r. NJ
Williamson, just missing his dwelling but strik-
ing the negro quarter, and moving several of
the houses from their foundations. The place
OF Mrs A. G. Black, on the Savannah river,
also lay in its path, and store-room and black
smith shop were blown down, barns unroofed,
and fences levelled. The corn and cotton crop
was seriously injured by falling trees and
limbs, and the force of the wind and rain, as
well as the cool weather that followed The
amount of damage to dwellings, crops, &C.,
has not been scertained.-AuguSta Chronicle

OPPOSITION AHEAD.-The Opposition are
ahead of the Democracy in Kentucky, on the
slavery question. Bell, the Opposition candi-
date for Governor, goes for Federal Slavery
Code, for the protection of slavery in the ter
ritories, even if the people Of the territories
are opposed to it. The Opposition" in Ken
lucky must be made of strange material if
they can swallow such platform. They
should be rather called E'the Administration
party" for the doctrine of ga Federal Slave
Code for the Territories" is now the corner
stone'' of the editice of Buchananism.
If Gov. Bell is a type of the Opposition"
of the South, the prospect OF union with the
Republicans in the Presidential contest is not
very flattering. A Republican candidate,
standing on "a Slave Code" Platform would
badly be heard of in the canvass. There are
some things which, for the sake of harmony,
Republicans might be willing to concede but
this is not one Of them. II union can only
he effected by conceding that slavery has a
right to go wherever the authority OF the
Constitution extends, it is idle to talk about
it-Albany Eveninq Journal.
