THE BREEzE IN THE CHURCH,

Twas Summer day, and the morning psalm
We sung in the church together;
We felt in our hearts the joy aud aim
or the warm and joyous weather.
The slow, and sweet, and sacred strain,
Through every bosom stealing.
Checked every thought that was light and vain,
And walked each holy feeling.
We knew by its sunny CLEAN how clear
Was the blue sky smiling DER us,
And in every pause Of the hymn could hear
The wild birds happy chorus.
And 10! from its haunts by cave OF rill,
With a sudden start awaking,
breeze came luttering down the hill,
Its fragrant pinions shaking.
Through the open windows it bent its way,
And down the chancel centre,
Like priviledged thing that at will might stray,
And in holy places enter.
From niche to niche, from nook to nook,
With alightsome rustic flying,
Itlifted the leaves Of the Holy Book
On the altar cushion lying.
1t famed the old clerks hoary hair,
And the children's bright young faces;
Then vanished, none knew how or where,
Leaving its pleasant traces.
1t left sweet thoughts of Summer hours
Spent the quiet mountains;
And the church seemed full Of the scent of flowers
And the trickling fall of fountains.
The image of scenes so still and fair
With our music sweetly blended,
While it seemed their whispered hymn took share
In the praise to heaven assembled.
We thought Of Him who had poured the rills,
And through the green mountains led them,
Whose hand, when lie piled the enduring hills,
With mantle of beauty spread them.
And purer passion was bOrre above,
In a louder anthem swelling,
As we bowed to the visible spirit Of love
On those calm SUBMITS dwelling.

Small, Esq, OF this city, who quietly departed
this life Saturday evening at the age Of ~
On the decease of Elias Merrill, Esq, Register
OF Deeds for this county, in 1924, Mr.. Small
was elected to the vacancy and was suisse
quently reelected in 1896, 1881 and 1885,
holding the office until 1S4i-a period of sew
enteen years. So popular was Mr.. Small with
the people, that in lS36-at that time Demo
crat-although the Democrats at their County
Convention nominated another candidate for
the office of Register, yet Mr.. S. was taken up
by the people and triumphantly elected. OF
late years he has held the office of Assessor of
this city, aud for the year previous to his de-
cease was engaged in the office of Collector of
Internal Revenue.
We agree with our contemporary, the Ad-
vertiser, that Sin every relation of life, he won
the highest respect of his fellow citizens. AL
ways courteous in his manners, cheerful in his
disposition, and high-minded in his dealings,
he exemplifed in his life a truly christian
character, beautifully adjoining the religion of
which he was lifelong professor. We shall
miss the good mans familiar face and form in
our daily walks
His funeral will take place at 10 IL O'Clock
this morning from his late residence, corner of
Oxford and Cedar streets.

No. 54G-Elbridge Gerry VS.. Thomas Trull
ct ais. These four actions were merged into
one hearing before Judge Rice, without the
intervention of jury. They are actions of
assumpsit on notes for $500 each, two of them
dated June 20, 1861, and two dated Dec. "a,
1861. 1t was not contended by plaintiff that
he could collect on all four of the notes, bnt
only on two of them and those were the first
set of notes.
The defendants contended that the two
notes dated June Goth were paid by the two
notes dated Dec. oath, and that these latter
notes had been accepted by plaintiff as re-
newal of the former. Also that usury had
been paid plaintiff by the defendants for the
money loaned for which the notes were given.
Per contra. Plaintiff denies that he ever
accepted the second set of notes as Il renewal
of the first SET
1t appears that the sureties on the first set
of notes are good, while those on the second
set are not responsible The case is not fin
ished. A. A. Strout,

Y. NJ. G. A. FEsTIvAL.-We would hint to
our friends that George II. Stuart Esq, of
Philadelphia, man not only agreeable of man
ner and eminent in the Christian virtues, but
at this time prominent officer of the U. S.
Christian Commission Army, is to honor the
Festival of the Y. M. G. A. on Monday evening
next, at Lancaster Hall, by his presence.
Mr.. Stuart has long held prominent con-
nection with the Y. NJ. G. A. of Philadelph ia,
aud with his late experiences of a public char
acter must be great attraction for that eve
mug. Other persons will offer brief and ap-
propriate addresses, aud with music from su-
perior choir, and a supper, we may hope that
our friends of the Y. NJ. c. A. may find the
Hall Overlooking Oh that occasion. and the
Tenth Anniversary evening be long rcmem-
bered and pleasantly
1t is also expected that Mr.. Stuart will adj
dress meeting at the New City Hall on Sab
bath evening next, for the benefit of the U. S.
Christian Commission, which has done SO much
for our suffering soldiers.

patch:
Charleston, oct. 30.-The bombardment of
Fort Sumter to-day is the heaviest that has
taken place. From shutdown on Wednesday
until shutdown on Thursday 1915 shots from
15-inch mortars and 800 pound parrots have
been thrown against the Fort. Our loss is
seven wounded. This evening the enemy
opened fire from the mortar battery at Cum
mings Point upon the north east angle of the
Fort, which seems to be the special object Of
their attention. The enemy's batteries engag-
ed were those at Gregg and Wagner, the centre
battery and Cummings Point battery, with the
addition OF three monitors The bombardment
of Fort Sumter still goes on but the firing has
been much slackened. Our batteries fire slowly
and deliberately. The enemy at present pays
no attention TO them.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l.
1t is ascertained that the statement in some
of the New York papers IN regard to the ab-
straction Of bonds from the Custom House and
the connection of Mr.. III. b. Stanton there
with, are very incorrect. There is the best
authority for saying that the evidence thus
far adduced does not fix upon MI. Stanton any
participation in the transaction.
The Navy Department has just issued a
general order announcing the result of the
general court martial at Philadelphia which
tried Lieut.. J. w. Kittredge on the charge of
maltreatment OF an ordinary seaman. Lieut..
Kttredge was found guilty and sentenced by
the Court to be dismissed from the naval ser
vice, aud the sentence has been approved.
Secretary Welles, in promulgating this or
der, says the Department trusts that this ex-
ample will have the proper effect both on Off
GERS and seamen, admonishing the one that
the law framed for the protection OF seamen
from wanton or tyrannous abuse of authori-
ty shall not be violated with impunity, and
giving seamen TO understand that while they
find their officers held to strict account for
the exercise of their authority, they in their
turn are expected TO conform to the require
ments of their duty with readiness and cheer
lulness.
