Religious InfeHigeHes

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, July ID.
The exercises OF Commencement week were
appropriately inaugurated last evening by the
public anniversary meeting Of the Young
Mems Christian Association Of the University.
After appropriate religious exercises. con.
due ted by the Cha aplain, the President of lie
ASSOCIATION read his report, announcing an en-
couraging degree of success as having attended
the labors of the Association, and an active
mem mbership OF on. handred and serenity # re
during the session of 1s59'60. The reading of
TINS report was followed by the annual address
from the Rev. NJ. ID. Hoge, ID. d.. of Rich
mond.
We should do DR.. Hoge great injustice by
any attempt within the limits of so brief a
communication as this, to sketch his truly ad-
mlfaDie discourse. A few words. however,
may be said in regard to it's general tenor His
SUBJECT was the Holy Scriptures its treat
ment being divided under the following heads ::
l.; H. Inc wonderful preservation of the Sacred
writings, and their transmission from century
to century in integrity and purity. 2. Their
absolute unity, the numerous Inspired penmen
all agreeing in their statements of facts and
90 trlne without single contradiction. 3.
Their agreement with and full confirmation
by, all scientific researches. A. Their supe-
rioTity to all other writings, not only in fur
nishing perfect rule of life, but in revealing
the destiny which awaits man beyond the
grave. In contrast with these charac eristics
OF the Bible, the speaker showed the utter fail
ure OF lnfdehty to guide, to instruct, or to
console man III his journey through life, or to
afford any preparation Tor its duties or for
its close.
His great theme was handled in a manner
wholly worthy of the extended and deserved
reputation of the reverend gentleman, who,
for more than an hour, unclaimed the atten-
ton of an audience numbering it is believed
not far short OF a thousand persons-by far
the largest ever before convened in the Public
Hall oD an occasion OF a religious character
While the address contained so much to con-
vince and enIighten the understanding aud TO
q n 10 H1yac in
many parts replete with what similar dis
courses often lack, viz direct and feeling ap-
peals to the heart. 1t is impossible TO doubt
that great good will be effected by it, and the
hearty thanks OF the Christian Association,
as we'll AS of our whole community, are due
to DIR. Hoge for the eloquent and effective
manner in which he has responded to the in
yitation extended to him by that body.

LONDON THIEVEs.-The London thieves are
quite as sharp rs their brethren in this coun-
try. One morning recently, a woman, who
called herself Clara Jones, went to a linen
drapers shop in the English city and chose a
quantity of silk, lace and velvet, desiring to
have the parcel ana the bill sent to her address.
One of the statesmen took the goods 10 the place
assigned, and was received by Clara ia the
drawing room. She came on of a bedroom
adjoining, and said that the lady who desired
the wares, being temporarily an invalid, and
confined TO her bed in the next room, wished
to have the lace carried in for her inspection.
The salesman hesitated moment, bnt finally
gave up the articles, and the woman retired.
When she had gone in he heard voice in the
bed-ro say, in the plaint1ve tones supposed
to be peculiar to feminine invalids, 81 m ust sse
the silks" So Clara returned ID the drawing
room and succeeded in carrying in the silks
The young man again heard two voices in con-
sultation, and also saw, through the partly
open door, what appeared TO be the figure of
woman bolstered up in bed. This lulled his
suspicious, and when the well woman came
out the third time, to- take in the yelvets, he,
with comparative cheerfulness, allowed them
to 60 out of his keeping. Then the oCor was
shut. Then the young man waited, and hoped,
and became very tired. Then he called in the
landlady. The landlady knew nothing about
Miss Clara Jones or her mis- tress the former
had but that morning hired the apartments
He then invaded the privacy of the lnvalld's
room, and found no invalid, only clumsily
made dummy laces, silks, veivets, Cara
Jones, and all had gone The latter had played
a double game in more senses than one, and
had retired with her plunder. She was not to
ing to dispose of her stuff to pawn-broker.
she was taken into custody, and had second

"The Dro,c" to the nth street bridge over
the Dock will prove great convenience to
the shipping when completed, inasmuch as il
will enable the lumber and plaster vessels to
unload in the west section, and thus prevent
the blocking up of the margin of the east
section of the Dock, as at present. The oye-
teT~craft, we presume. will be req uired TO land
at their old place near the bridge, and other
vessels will then have ample berths for load
ing and unloading.
