Donation.

Mr.. EDIToR:-AlIow US to say,
through your paper, that we too have had
donation visit. On Tuesday the oath
inst, our house was thronged in the af-
ternoon by the older, and in the evening
by the younger part Of our congregation.
Some l35 or more, in all, were present.
Besides the many good things designed
for the collation., they brought Us, in cash
and other valuables, among which was a
beautiful bonnet for the Pastors wife-to
the amount of more than $50. Before
leaving the tables in the p NJ. PRAYER
was offered by Rev. G. Campbell, and in
the evening by Ms. G.. b. Toman, who
in behalf Of the company presented their
offerings, with short but appropriate
address, which was responded to by the
Pastor.
The occasion was one of interest and
on the whole, pleasant. But, show soon
treads sorrow on the heels Of JOY" Late
IN the afternoon, our hearts were made
to bleed by the reception of telegram,
announcing the death of our beloved
brother, c. X. Tilden, Esq, of Castine,
Maine. Not less than for the general
manifestation Of interest in our welfare.
and for the proof Of that interest in the
good things presented, are our hearts
moved with emotions Of gratitude for the
manifestation on the part of many, OF
true and real sympathy in our severe
affection. Our prayer is that those
tokens Of kindness and good will may be
richly rewarded by the giver of every
good and perfect gift.

VICKsBURG AND THE LAWRENCE
CALAMrTY.-Appalling as is the record
of the catastrophe at Lawrence, and
prominent as it will stand upon the chap
ter Of sad accidents in the history of the
country, it is nevertheless not without
features Of humanity which are calculated
TO excite the highest admiration. Among
these may be mentioned the meeting u
coincidence and sympathy held by the
citizens Of Vicksburg, Miss, on the 18th
inst. The meeting, which was large
one, was presided over by Hon. William
A. Lake, and was addressed and its OBJ
ject explained by Rev. c. X. Marshall
after which the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The citizens of the city o.
Vicksburg, and of the county of Warren
in the State of Mississippi, have heard BY
Geographic dispatch of the dreadful ca
lamity which has occurred in Lawrenc,
city, in the State of Massachusetts,, by tn,
falling down Of the Pemberton Cottor
Factory, in which there were some fiv,
or six hundred persons at the time, sew
eral hundred being reported as killed, ant
a number Of others more or less wounded
Therefore
Resolved, That the direful CALAMITY
which SO suddenly befell the people 0
Lawrence city has excited our warmes
sympathy in behalf of the wounded suf
ferers and the surviving friends Of thos,
who were killed.
Resolved, That, while we know til,
ability of New England, and her willing
ness to meet the present emergency witt
all proper appliances tina. can ministe
relief to the bereaved and suffering. W
yet feel pleasure in offering our tribut
of coincidence and our assurance that W
stand ready to furnish material aid a
soon as we are advised that it is needed
Resoired, That a copy of the fore
going preamble and resolutions be for
warded to the Mayor OF Lawrence cit
by the secretaries Of this meeting.

The People. s Academy.

This popular Institution Is located al
MorrisvilIe, pleasant, healthy, and
quiet village situated on the Lamoille
river with easy and daily communication
with the Vermont Central Railroad, at
Waterbury. Among the many facilities
offered by this village Tor the undisturb-
ed pursuit Of education, is its freedom
from low groceries billiard saloons, and
bowling alleys-those haunts Of vice,
where young men 50 often waste their in
telleet and impoverish their hearts.
The citizens, practically interested in
the welfare Of the Institution, both for
the sake OF their own children and the
prosperity Of their town, display mani
fest regard for the comfort and happi-
ness Of students coming from abroad, in
stead Of cycling them askance a. is 50
often the case.
Good boarding places in private fami-
lies, to which parents may safely trust
the health and happiness Of their child
rem are always in readiness, as well a
commodious rooms for those who, for the
sake Of economy, wish to board them
selves.
The Academy, beautiful and well
furnished building, stands at the head o.
Main street, and, in approaching it from
the Morrisville House, you pass through
shady and floral Park, well calculated
to delope in the minds of the students a
lasting love for the beauty Of Art, and
the loneliness of Nature. Connected
with the Institution, is large aud choice
Library, designed exclusively for the use
of the students, and an extensive Chemi
cal and Philosophical Apparatus con
stantly used 10 illustrate the principles Of

what will OberIin Say!

We see by the appointments OF Forney, that
he has appointed as one of his assistants, MIR,
Boynton, of Lorraine county, in this State. who
until recently was clerk in the Pens ion Office.
"Boynton," "Boynton," that name sounds ia
mlar to us, and we know it does to the "saints
at Oberln" We heard it last Spring in Cleve-
land often, and the Oberlinites have Iecollec-
ton that it was the same name that got them
into so much trouble. Ifone Of that name (and
brother too) had not entced the negro John
outside Of the town, the Oberlin trials would
would never have been heard OF. What will
the Oberlinites think of their representative
voting for man for office who appoints a
"Roynton" an assistant under him. What do
you say, Brs. Peck, Plumb, and all the rest Of
you who were Sin bonds?"
