THE FIRST BATTERY.-Capt. Clayton
with detachment of eighty recruits for his
First Battery had delayed but pleasant trip
down under the escort of Northwestern Rail-
road Companys popular Agent, Capt. Mark
Hendricks. jeff Meade, Express Agent, helped
in seeing the boys comfortably through to La
Crosse. The snow drifts. in Wisconsin de-
layed them several hours on the La Crosse
road, but the Northwestern folks, notified in
advance of their coming, had hot coffee and
good breakfast ready for them at the junction,
when they arrived there at three o'clock OF
last Wednesday morning, and sent them on,
warmed and refreshed, to Chicago. Some de-
lay was made at Chicago in receiving and pro-
viding for them, through the Illinois Central
Railroad Company's agents neglecting and de-
clining to put themselves to any extra ex-
ira expense Oh account OF Minnesota
soldiers, which was unexpected, as the
other railroad companies are liberal enough to
cheerfully undertake to look up quarters and
food for soldiers going south through that city,
and some of them make it point to have hot
coffee and refreshments provided for the SOL
diers going over their lines-but the superin.
tendent and. ladies of the Soldiers Home made
ample amends for the delay when they were
informed of the situation.
The boys were, at the Soldiers Home, care
fully provided for during their stay of about
twenty-four hours in Chicago, and before their
departure for the depot of the Illinois Central
road. returned their thanks by hearty cheers
for the ladies of the Chicago Sanitary Commits

PLEASANT MEETINGS. the week

PLEASANT MEETINGs.-Since the week
ofprayer," observed at the commencement of
the year in our churches, number of congre-
cations have been enjoying special season of
religious Misunderstanding to church MEM
bers. 1t is time of delightful experience to
anumber, who have long felt their need of
religious hope. Dedication of the heart to
God in youth, is expressive of joyful life, and
no rewards of scripture are more manifest,
than those promised early believers 1t is
cheering to observe the young at the meetings;
also, some who have long been settled hearers
only of the truth every sabbath.
Many are in ignorance of this present feeling
in our cummunity, who have within the few
past years, dropped off from their attendance
on the Sabbath. Have they acted wisely !?
Conscientiously before their families in the
sight of God? Have such forgotten mothers
parting prayer? Perhaps, also, an infant con-
secration in baptism. How they laid aside the
Word of God as unfruitful reading, and dam
aging to wicked or idle repose? 1t is in the
hope, that many may join our members in
meeting, that these few lines are writ
ten. The invitation is free to all, old
and young. was pleased yesterday to hear
from the pulpit, appointments for every night
this week, in the Central Presbyterian Church,
Crew. Mr.. Riheldaffer) near the Capitol. Hith-
erto the meeting shave been held in the lecture
room. Now, to give room and accommoda-
ton to all who come, they are appointed for
the church at ~ o'clock.
Is it too much to expect of parents, guardi-
ans and others, attendance on these meetings
with the youth of their families; that bless
ing of God may be visible in our community,
in the purifying of our churches, in the real
building of them up, with the good that is
belief. Nj.

Fatal Accsdest-A ISoia- Of President Daois
Killed 6y FaU-A mos, distressing acci-
dent occurred at the Presidents Mansion on
Saturday afternoon last About five O'Clock
Joseph E. Davis, about four years old, son
of President Davis, who had pecn playing
about the yard during the earlier part of the
evening, was missed, when search was in
stituted, and ia a short time he WAS found
lying in all insensiblc condition on the brick
area below the east por.ico Of the residence,
with his left thigh broken and . severe con-
fusion on his forehead. When discovered,
an elder son of the President, named Jeffor-
son, was kneeling by, eadeayoring in the
most affectionate manner to make him speas,
but apparently not realizing the reason
which prevented his brother from doing so.
AS soon as possible Dra. Wexford, Haxall,
Conway, and Peiicolas, were in attendance;
but all their efforts proved Intellectual, and
the little Fellow. after an hours suffering,
during which time he was perfectly insensi.
sle, breathcd his last. The exact cause of
she unfortunate accident is not known but
as there was step-ladder leading from the
arcs in the yard to the porch above, dis
tanee of from fifteen to twenty feet, II is
coniectured that he was standing near its
top, and, losing his balance, fell over into
the yard below. The funeral took place at
five O'Clock yesterday afternoon, from St.
Paul's Church. a large crowd of sympa-
thizine friends were in attendance, and the
ceremonies of the occasion were OF the most
impressive character.
