s@THH closing performances of the
English Evangelical Lutheran Sunday
School, under superintendence of Mr..
Barnitz, took place on Monday night The
attendance was very. large. as, indeed, it
was each previous evening. Some very
fine singing, with instrumental accOmpa-
uiament, was participated in by the whole
school, and the chorus of infant voices
yelling up in anthems of praise, produced
that happy effect upon the;audiencs which
can alone be excited by the happy though
unartisic Outpouring of childish melody.
A number of beautiful banners bearing
appropriate notices, were presented to va
riOus classes, also medals TO various mem.
bers of classes as rewards of merit.
Mr.. Barnitz received very gratifying
report of the contributions by the differ
ent classes, amounting in the aggregate to
some two hundred dollars.
Every body seemed to feel highly inter-
ested in the exercises, and We have no
doubt that Mr.. Barnitz felt greatly encour.
aged in his good work.

H@ MONDAY was generally observed as

Every body both old and young appeared
to be provided with something of kn explo-

sharp, ear piercing reports and yilIainous

skirmishing going on in different portions
of the city between the amiable young gen.
tlemen who conceived it to be their prov
iuce to make things lively, but through all
the confusion aud riot which appeared to
prevail, there were few serious accidents
or arrests. Dealers in FIRE crackers, tor
pedoes and such like explosives did a
thriving business, of which the blaokened
debris in the streets yesterday morning
gave abundant evidence. We could have

Death OF a Chrisstan Hero.


Gen. N. B. Sanders, who was wounded
in one of the late battles 10 East Teunes.
see, and died soon after, was kentuck-
ian, who graduated at West Point In
1856. He was wounded an close hand
to hand fight with the enemy. After his
wound had been examined, the General
asked. aTell me, doctor, if my wound is
mortal Pc The doctor replied, Islanders,
it is fearful wound, and mortal. lam
very sorry to say it, my dear fellow, but
. the odds sre against you" The General
calmly replied, "WeIl, am not afraid to
die; | have made up my mind upon that
subject, ! have done my duty. and have
served my country as well as l conld.'-
He fingered until the next day remain.l
ing perfectly conscious during the whole
time. During the morning he explained
certain symptoms to the doctor, and
asked him what they meant. The doctor
replied, General, you are dying" IF
that be So" he said, 81 would like to see
a clergyman"
The Rev. Mr.. Hayden, chaplain. of the
post, was sent for, who came, and in the
presence of Gen Burnside, with some of
his staff, Captain Harris, classmate, and
several others, he was baptized. at was
always the desire of my friends that |
should be baptized he said. The min
lister then joined in fervent prayer, Gen
Burnside and all present reverently kneel-
ing beside the bed of the dying hero. 1t
was scene never to be forgotten. He
shook hands with his chief, who stood
tearfully over him, as if 10th to witness
the flight of the brave spirit. While
preparations were making to administer
to him the sacrament, his spirit took its
flight. In the beautiful words of DR..
Jackson, che went to sleep like child"
Thus passed away one of the bravest and
one Of the INST unassuming men whom
God has raised up to battle in the cause
of good government.

The Coming Presidential Election
Organize! Organize!

Organizes! Organize!
Among the resolutions adopted by the
Democratic State Committee at its late
m Getting in this city, there was one which
we are confident will N eet with a hearty re-
Spouse from true Democrats in all parts of
the country. We refer to that resolution
which points to the ultimate ascendency of
Democratic principles and policy as the sur
est means of rescuing our country from its
present lamentabls condition, and exborts
Democrats and Conservatives IN the several
counties wards, and districts to unite and
bind themselves together in more perfect
and complete organizati on, to promote the
success of their principles at the next Presi-
dental election. We trust that our friends
will act upon this suggestion of the Com
mittee promptly, earnestly. untiringly, in all
parts of the State. We need not discuss
the utility of organization-ali see it, feel
it, know it. It's value, even in an ordinary
political contest, has been xperienced-it
IS coubly important now, when the purity of
the ballot and the liberty Of the citizen are
among the jewels staked upon the issue
Democrats every where should know each
other. and act together-this acquaintance
can only be brought about, and this unity of
action can only be secured by local aud
general organization; we entreat the atten-
ton now of active incentive Democrats in
every part Of the State. If it be urged that
all this is idle-that we have no chance
that we cannot elect Presi6ent-that the
powers that be at Washington have deter
mined to perpetuate their reign, and they
will do it by misuse of military power if
in no other way-let our answer be. We
have duty to perform, and will perform it,
come what may. 10 the name of God and
Our Country, for civil Liberty, for ourselves,
for the preservation CT Free Government
for our children, let as try! No man can
foretell, in these times, what a day may
bring forth, That a reaction against th
mad policy of the men now in power will
come-mast CONCEIVE believe as confident
ly as we do that the sun will continue TO
rise in the East. Let US prepare for and be
for that reaction. Let it not, when
it comes, find the Conservatives OF the
country, to whom, under Provid ence, we
may alone look for safety, divided, unor-
ganized, scattered; but firmly banded, or
ganized, compact. In solid phalanx let US
confront the assailants of our repu blican
form OF government. We are million and
a half OF freemen-our consciences tell US
we have Right on our side-God is with
the Highland victory with God.

An Iowa LoyaIist.

One Of the wealthiest citizens of Goshen
township, in this county, has recently been
guilty of the meanest kind of mean tran
saction. His son was a m ember of the 35th
Iowa Volunteers, and died few months
since, leaving a wife and five children liv-
ing on rented place near his fathers
During the storm, a neighbor was attracted
to the house by not seeing any signs of FIRE.
and he found the mother nearly frozen, and
two Of the children in baking oven, and
the other three in bed with what clothes
there were in the house upon them, and
not spark of fire in the house, and no wood
to build one. The neighbor, who is bold
copPerhead, at once cut up some fence rails,
built them nice, good FIRE, and then upon
further inquiry he found they bad not
morsel OF food in the house. He soon sup
piled their wants-and when the attention
of the children's grandfather was directed
to their suffering condition. he refused to
extend to them any aid at all. 1t is not ne
cessary to add that this man is intensely To-
yal ,-votes the abolition ticket, cries over
the sufferings of the poor African in bond
age, and stigmatizes the very man who saw
ed his daughter-in law and her FIVE child
rem from an awful death, with being trail
tor and a copperh ead.-Muscatine Courier.

Cool SuaDs.

New ORLEANs.-A man getting a little
drunk, inadvertently left himself out Of
doors one night, and was found frozen to
death the next morning. His body was
found stiffened in a form suggestive Of a
band sled, and the boys are sliding down
the hill on it until it can be identified.
MADISON, Visit is so cold in the
houses that people have to so out into thu
streets to keep from freezing to death. We
take ice cream in our coffee every morning
can't get any other. Solid ice floats
around in the atmosphere, and ice men are
laying in stock Of it. A neighbor of mine
lowered himself into his we'll the other day
to see how far down the murcury had got :.
HE froze down there of course. and his af-
hicted family have used him for bucket
ever since.
MILWAUKEE Opticians are doing a very
good business lengthening out thermome-
ters. They make them seven stories high
now. A man carelessly drank some water
on Friday, "a rare occurrence here, by the
way.) and nearly choked to death. A
physician was called, who extracted an
lcicle from the mans throat measuring six
teen inches.
CLEyELAND.-The statue of Perry was
frozen stiff on New Years Day. It is
thought that it will have to be amputated
Barber poles, signs, and no uDfrequently
lamp posts, were frozen off. The air is so
cutting that in many cases it is used to chop
up sausage meat. Physicians have advised
citizens not to breathe it until the edge has
been taken off in some way. BENEVOLENT
gentleman, named Elwood, is busy day ard
night taking the edge off. He has lad to
engage an additional bar tender, business is

BUFFALe.-Coldest weather ever known
to the Oldest buffalo. Thermometers DOS
sessing the most hardy and robust constftu-
tons were terribly run do,gn in few hours.
Great demand for buffalo robes. The tele.
graph is frozen up and messages have to be
sent along the wires on skates.
