A DFcinED TNFpovfMEbr.--We have recently
had the pleasure q faking hasty look At the inn
proyemeuts which have been made during the
past flll and winter at the Episcopal Church at
Factory Point. VIC confess we were disappoiut-
ed-we had expected considerable, but the result
was f,r beyond what We had even expected. The
improvement AZ set il mostly confined to the in
terror Of the church. No one, however familiar
with the ga church Its diapidated ceilings,
curved and straight backed pews, Us III shaped
gallery, and It's ether manifold inconvenience
and short comiugs. would he able to recognize It
in the elegant structure which has taken il. place.
The addition 10 the rear Of the building gives II
a NOR, commodious look than il had Of yore.---
The ri escut arrangement Of The pcws, cbaneel,
vcstry, orchestra, &c. is, in our view, in excel
lent tastt. The s'ained windows, With their cm-
blemats devices, in the rear ofthe orchestra and
lie ehaacel, are some Of The finest of the kind We
have seen. The pegs are elegantly and comfort
ably cushioned, end the aislcsand passages taste
| y carpctcd. We can only suggest ono improve
ment, viz stained windows on the sides, and
I,his VIC suppose will come in dge time.
As to the conyenenees for ventilation We would
ouly add If they are not ample, as We have no
doubt they arc, that some excellent views on that
subjcc, viii lie found in The "pome" on our first
page. There is considerable room for improve
mcut yet on The exterior of he building, by way
orcouyenienccs for entrance, painting, SC, which
we arc informed gill be completed at an early dsy
Tile improvements have been consummated al
most exclusively under the direction Of MIR. J.
/ c. Roberts, who may well pride himself upon th'
success which has attended his efforts. The en-.
tire expense Of the repairs, we are informed. is
about $1,000, small certainly in view of what ba:
been accomplished.
ON Sunday last many, like ourselves, took oc-
casion 10 attend services for the first time in the
new church. The services were conducted in Al
impressive manner by Dir. Geo 3 Manser, o
Bennington. having exchanged with the rector Q

The lack Of services At the Congregational

PiCketing.

While on my lonely beat about an hour ago,
light tread attracted my attention, and on
looking up beheld one Of Seceshs pckets
standing before me.
Stranger" says he, you remind me Of
my grandmother who expired before / was
born, but this unnatural war has made Us en-
emies and | must shoot you. Give me chaW
of tertacker."
He was young man, my boy, in the prime
of life, and decended from the First Families
of Virginia. That is to say, bis mother was a
Virgin AT least that is what l understood
by the term FIRST Families of Virginia.
looked at him, and says L" Let's com-
promise, my brother"
Never" says he, " the South is fighting
for her liberty, her fresides, and the pursuit
of happiness, and | desire most respectfully
to welcome you with bloody hands to a hospi-
table grave"
"Stand off ten PAGES, says I, "and let's
see whose name will come before the coroner
first I"
He took his place, and we fired simultane-
ously. l heard ball go whsting by barn
about quarter of mile on my right and
when the smoke cleared away l saw the Secesh
picket approaching me with an awful express
sion of woe upon his otherwise dirty counte-
nance.
Soldier" says he, "was there anything in
my head before you fred 2"
Nothing" says |, "gave few harmless
insects" ....
"I speak not of them," says he. "Was
there anything inside of my head 7"
Nothing" says l.
Well" says he, just listen now"
He shook his head mournfully, and heard
something rattle in it. u-z
What's that ?" exclaimed .s.
" That, said he, /" is your bullet, which has
penetrated my skull, and is rolling round in
my brain. / die happy, and with an empty
stomach but there is one thing | should like
to see before perish for my country. Have
you quarter about you ?" ......-..
Too much affected to speak, drew the coin
from my pocket and handed it to him. The
dying man clutched it conyulsiyely, and stared
at it feVerishly. ....
I" This" said he, is the first quarter I've
seen since the fall of Sumter and had I
wounded you l should have been totally unable
to have given you any quarter. Ah how
beautiful it is! how bright, how exquisite, and
good for four drinks But l have not time to
say all feel"
The expiring soldier then laid down bis gun,
hung his cap and overcoat on branch Of q
tree, and blew his nose He then dedi
Aud there stood, my boy, on that lonely
beat, looking down upon that fallen type Of
manhood, and thinking how singular it was
that he had forgotten to give me back my
quarter The sight and the thought SO
affected me that l was obliged to turn my
back on the corpse and walk little away from
it. When returned to the spot the body
was gone Had it gone to heaven ? Perhaps
so, my boy-perhaps but l have not seen my
quarter since.
