This seems to have been the lot Of the
Church going people ofour town until the
present; the cause of this we know not,
whether it was poverty, carelessness, or
something worse. We are glad to know
thnt the members of the Protestant Epis-
copal church have secured an excellent
Bell for their Church in this place, we are
informed that it weighs COO pounds, and
what numbers it will no doubt Toll" to

tageous. to bis, child, and for time she
improved in health, and took her food
Two weeks ago last Friday the child was
taken i'll, and continued to sink until yes
terday, when she died. She was subject
to convulsions or .spasms, which were vio-
lent, and at no time could she take food
and retain it in her stomach. ~ : {.
On the day following the Friday on
which the child was taken so seriously i'll,
a Mrs. Devins, who occupies the house on
Monroe street. vacated by Mr.. Davis, cal
led at the house he now occupies, and
stated that a German named Conrad Keu-
chenbach had killed the snake which bad
troubled the child, on the day previous
the Friday on which she was taken ill
The mother says that when the little girl
heard the statement, she said: MAMMA,
lis baby dead2" and soon became worseS
There is not much doubt about the state
.ment, made so far as the facts are con-
cerned. The conclusions and inferenres
are quite another thing. The snake Kill
led by Keuchenbach was about three feet
long, and was doubtless the same seen by
Mrs. Davis aud her family repeatedly with
her daughter. Its being killed at the
time the child became i'll may have been
a coincidence--probably was.
The child was two years and one month
old when it died, and was very bright
and interesting little girl. To what extent
it was under the facinating influence of
the reptile we can not say. We only give
such facts as.we have been able to gather,
and leave every reader to make his own
conclusion. All that we have written on
this matter has been the resuls of careful
inquiry, and what we have written we be.
lieve to be true.

Annoying Lincoln.

/ Wentworth perpetrates the following:
"We notice that Hon. VIM. A. Rich
ardson, one Of the ablest men in the
Democratic party, has been nominated for
Congress in the ifth distric. in this State
at the request of Judge Douglas, who
takes this method to annoy and obstruct
Mr.. Lincoln's administration. "a We notice
this conspiracy is being extended to va
rious places, the Democrats invariably
running their best men; with the intention
to trouble as much as possible, Mr.. Lin
coin and his administrations. The Re.
publicans should remember this, aud Sc,
lect their best and strongest men for
Congress" szss.aI I'd
There is no doubt that Mr.. Lincoln is
greatly annoyed. In every district, and
county of Illinois these annoyances are
springing up, to eliminate that greatest
of all annoyances to Lincoln and his FOL-
lowers-their defeat in November. The
nomination of "Oid Dick" is evidently
excessively annoying. He has always
been an annoyance to the enemies of De-
moc:acy, and this year he will annoy them
about 5000 in the 6fth district.
1t is an indisputable fact, and one de.
serving of especial consideration, that
Lincoln and Breckinridge are not seri-
ously running against each other as can
didates for the Presidency in even soil
tary State of the Union. Lincoln is a
candidate in the non slaveholding States,
and Breckenridge candidate in the slave
holding States, but Breckinridge hopes
for no vote in the former States, while
Lincoln hopes for none in the latter States;
their respective parties are as utterly sec.
tional as the North and South poles.
After election Mr.. Lincoln will not be
in position to be much annoyed by Col.
r.. The former will be quietly practicing
law in Springfield, while "Old Dick" will
as heretofore, be ably serving his country
in the House of Representatives, an arena
in which Mr.. Lincoln once briefly served
but was. onsted therefrom because of his
disposition to. serve the Mexican rather
than his own countrymen. during the war
of 1846 Mr., Lincoln was for a long
time puzzling his brains as to the psrtic.
ular "spot" upon which that war com
menced. Indeed, he never found it, while
"Old Dick" had no difficulty in pitching
into the thickest of it, at Buena Vista
1t canuot be denied that the old veteran
