Ii is ObteTyed that more families from that section
have purchased property here, within the last three

their children, others merely to abandon their an

be has preached some sixty times. Yet the masses
crowd in 10 hear him even more anXiOnsiy than
when he began. Every Sunday he breaches three
tines and every evening during the week. Scarcely
an advertisement of his appearance" - published,
vet his audiences are tremendous. When the sun

packed full Ct PEOPLE by one and when the service
is over. hundreds keep their seals 10 be sure OF
them for the evening sermon, which concludes az ~
O'clock so that they in church sore zine hours.
No such enthusiasm has been Witnessed since the
days Of Summerfrld. Mr.. Guinness has been the
means of again reviyng the revival of two years
ago. ard numbers have been reached TO conviction
under his ministry.
Poor John Winans, the celebrated comedian, a
native OF New-YOrk, and well known 10 all the
theater coers there, last week, came Ia horrible
end al the Blockley Alms-lIouse. Winans had long
Teen The victim of confirmed lntemperance, until be
lccsme almost crazy, haunted with the idea that
everybody was in pursuit of him 10 take his life. In
this condition BE- was taken 10 the Alms-H0use,
from which, IN September last, he suddenly dsap-
pcared Search was made for him, but he could
not be found, AMI il was at last concluded he had
gone entirely of. But last week, when the cellar
of tie building was being searched for another miss
ing lunatc, a mans leg was seen projecting from
iue, and further examination revealed the body OF
poor WnaDs who, in some unaccOuntable way, had
become wedqed into it three months ago, and there
cut of sight and hearing had been starved to death
Winans was ~ years old, and ranked high at all
our theaters as a Ow comedian. His wife was Mrs.
Denim The mother of the celebrated Susan and
Kate. He was a man of generous disposition,
warm friendships and decided talent in his proes
sion, but strong drink overcame and destroyed bun.
Stampedes being now the order OF the day, new
one has been quietly going on at our great Blockley
Almshouge. Tie cold weather regularly sends ia
an influx OF able-bodied paupers. whose excuse is
that they can get no work. though anxious 10 do II,
and So, rather than starye. come in To enjoy The
warm quarters and abundant provender Of the
Aims House. Taking these fellows at their word,
they have been set 10 work at quarryng stone for
the benefit of the institution. But this being con-
trary 10 their constitution, they determined 10 dis
solve the union with concern where entire lazness
was not permitted. So. one by one. they quietly
thnned of. until there is now 100 less than theirs
was mcnth AGO. II may be set down to their
credit that they went off without any indignation
meeting; no speeches OF resolutions, like the young
sawbones The Managers now threaten to put up
shops and set thousand more 10 work, whereupon
another wholesome stampede may be looked Tor,
painful a. il would be OF this incIcment season.
1t is solemn fact that the indignant Virginia
doctors are back again-the very fellows who went
off in such only ten IoVs qoni nof all nf
