abuse Of the gentleman whose name heads this

Mr.. Vsllandigham, since his election to Con.

tined to increase, In all that constitutes the
statesman-in talents aud integrity, be stands
In our opinion head and shoulders above any
man Of the opposition in the body Of which
he is a member As an Ohioan the State has
cause 10 be proud Of her Representative, and
as Democrat Of the straitest sect the country
will cherish him. The fasehoods and the

nounced sectional disunionists, no matter
whether from the North or the South; be

NEite-musical society.

We observe BY our contemporary Of the Jonr>
nal, that the congregation Of the Third street
Presbyterian Church has formed Parochial
Society, having one feature in common with
the MiiesMusicaI Society Of Wesley Chapelj
viz. the cultivation Of more intimate relation
ship between themselves and their pastor II
conducted properly. they will doubtless find
that these will soon prove among the most prof
table Of all their church meetings.
In the ordinary course Of events the Pastor
Gao know but little Of the nature and require
rnents Of the individuals comprising his flock,
while the construction Of Society preclude the
members from thatirtimate relationship which
should exnist among Christians. These con
gregalionsl organizations when carried forward
judiciously, tend 10 a g'eat measure to obviate
such difficulties sud foster some Of the most
charming elements Of Christian life. Ifevery
church in Dayton would hold stated Society
meetings where all could be made to feel free
and equal, much good would necessarily result
therefrom; and while the generous, christian
impulses abound, which these gatherings en-.
gender should the members Of the congregsN
tion remember the poor and unfortunate by
mite contributions. they would separate with
additional consciousness, that their meetings
were not wholly in vain.
The Mite Musical Society above alluded to,
which has now been 10 successful operation for
some time, shows decided omens Of good
The meetings are large, and general, good
feeling is growing between the membership
and their pastor, which could scarcely be
brought about by any other means. The mu
sical talent which abounds in the church, is
being rapidly developed under the direction o.
the able leader Of the choir; as is evidenced
by the exercises at seme Of the meetings, which
are really first class concerts OF sacred music

jesg- On Wednesday large sleighing party left
Greensburgh for dance in the country. There
were i've or ak large sleighs loaded with young
ladies And gentlemen. On their return the hind
team (two spirited hoTses) got frightened, the
sleigh upset. and tho driver lot go the lines. The
boys and girls were pitched into a snow-bank, and
away went the horses like whirlwind, running
over three Of the seighs in advance, tearing them
TO pieces, and tramping over the parties In thom.
II is a wonder, our informant says, that numbers
were not killed. One young lady received an ug-
ly cut on the side of her head and one Of her ribs
was broken, and others got of with slight wounds.
When our informant left, some Of the horses had
