60 At Piqua, Ohio. thanksgiving day,
Rev. Col. Moody was just about to an
nounce his text..in the Methodist church,
when paper with the news from Chat
tanooga was received and handed up to the
public by the sexton. The fighting
pastor read the headings of the telegraph
ic news, and said: The congregation
will all RISE" Now, three cheers for the
old stars and stripes They were given
with will, and the walls of Green street
rang with the shouts of sturdy old stew
ards and leaders. Now, sing-all sing
- Praise God from whom all blessings
flow" The congregation all j,ined.
Now" said the preacher, f." have too
much good sense to think that you would
rather hear ME preach than hear the news
So he read all the dispatches with the
editorial, which was frequently cheered
by the congregation. Then followed
some excellent remarks by Rev. Or. Vince
lock, of the first Baptist Church, and the
exercises were closed by b diction.
A MAGNIFICENT CAR,-'lhe Vermont
Central Railroad, has tax another long
step into public favor by placing on their
route Ito run on the Express Line be-
tween Boston and Chicago "a SPLENDID car,
exclusively for ladies and gentlemen ac-
companying them. The exterior is hand
somcly finished in dark, rich colors, the
corners bearing the faithfully executed
portraits of Mr.. Merrill. the Supclinten-
dent, and Gov Smith and Messrs. Brain
ard aud Clark, Trustees. The interior is
fitted in style of convenience and rich
ness, not surpassed in any of our metro
politan hotels One apartment of good
size is furnished with elegant sofas, easy
chairs, mirrors and toilet stand. The oth-
er, and larger apartment, contains AZ
comfortable seats. 1t is carpeted with a
neat Brussels pattern, and its upholstery
generally is rich and tasteful as that of
a private saloon. In the management of
the car the best features of the English
system are adopted. A superintendent
Cor guard constantly attends it, and the
care of the passengers (who, however. are
not placed under lock and key) is made
his chief duty. If this new system of
railway traveling-which. we believe, the
Vermont Central Company has the honor
of inaugurating in this country-shall
become general, there can be no more
ground for the present comparison of our
" floating palaces" The judicious enter
prise manifested in this new movement is
apparent in the whole administration Of
the Vermont Central Road. Boston I'D.
