Religious Meeting in Bel Air.

In accordance with previous notice, a meeting
was held in this town on Wednesday MORNING
last, at IL O'clock in the Methodist Episcopal
Church, composed of the respective congrega
lions OF the Methodist Episcopal, Methodist
Protestant and Presbyterian Churches, in respect
to the memory of the late President of the Uni
ted States, whose funeral obsequies, by appoint
ment, took place at that hour in Washington
city.
The Church was thoroughly draped in mourn.
ing, and the stars and stripes, in deep mourning
hung in solemn folds over the entrance. The
house was well filled with solemn and anxious
worshipers, and all seemed deeply to feel the so
IDENTITIES Of the hour.
The exercises were opened with solemn dirgt
by the Choir, which was followed by the reading
of the Goth Psalm, by the Rev. ]. X. Nichols
when he offered some remarks appropriate to tn,
occasion, and after singing, offered prayer te
Almighty God. He was followed by Rev. Dr.
Bond, in some well-timed and most appropriate
reflections, and after singing, he also offered
prayer to the Great Sovereign of the world
Rev. e. Kinney followed with some excellent re-
marks on the providences of God, when tn,
Choir again sung, and he offered prayer tc
Heaven. The Choir then sung chant and tn,
congregation was dismissed with the benediction
by Rev. W. D. Litsinger.
The Revs. Messrs Bolton and Greenfield were
also in the pulpit, and it is due the Rev. Mr.
Smith, of the Presbyterian Chur,h, to say thai
he was prevented from being present and taking
part in the solemnity, by domestic affection in
the death of relative.

|of Mr.. Stewards house, and on the door
being opened by colored servant, the
stranger said he had been sent by Mr.
Stewards family physician With prescrip.
|tion, and that he must see the Secretary
personally as he had been intrusted with
particular directions concerning the medi-
cine. On the refusal Of the servant to al
low him to pass, the man pushed the lat
ter aside, and after reaching the chamber
and disabling Mr.. Frederick Seward, Ma
ljor Seward, Mr.. Hansell, and two male
nurses, rushed upon Secretary Seward and
stabbed him three times in the neck but,

injured no mortal wound was infic-
ted. We have thus condensed the de.

Assassination of President Lincoln
Attempt to Take the Life Of Secretary
Seward.

A brief telegram from Washington an
nounces the awful tidings that President
Lincoln was shot last night, and MORALLY
wounded.
A later telegram gives the particulars
Of the assassination. President Lincoln
together with Mrs. Lincoln and some
friends, visited Fo,d's Theatre last even,
ing his intention of doing so having been
announced in the Washington paper
The play was "Our American Cousin. y
During the third act, and whilst there
was temporary pause for one of the &C
tors to enter, a sharp report of pistol
was heard, which, however, seems to have
attracted but little attention, until a man,
fourishipg dagger, and exclaimipg sac
semper tyrdnmis, sprang upon the stage
from one Of the second tier boxes, and es.
Gaping by way of the rear of the stage,
mounted horse and fled. The cries Of
Mrs. Lincoln gave to the astonisbed au
dience the first intimation that the Presi
dent was wounded. 1t was soon found
that the wound was mortal. He had
been shot through the head, above
and back Of the temporal bone, apd
through the oriice thus created some Of
the brain oozed out. The weapon, com.
mon single barrelled pistol, was found or
the carpet near the cushioned rocking
chair on which he had been seated. H.
was Immediately conveyed to private
residence, and at midnight the member.
Of the Cabinet and number of promi
nept persons, among whom were Messrs
Sumner, Colfax and Farnsworth, Gov
Oglesby and General Meigs, assembled a,
his bedside. He was then in a DIVING
state, and although the surgeons were ex,
hausting every effort of medical skill, al
hope Of saving his life had been abap.
doned.
Whilst the excitement at the theatre
was at its widest height, it was reported
that Secretary Seward had also been as
sassinated, and on reaching his residence
it was found true, in 50 far, that daring
attempt had been made to take his life
although, it is thought, that he may ye
possibly recover from the serious wounds
inflicted on him.
From such imperfect particulars as coulc
be gathered, it appears that at about ter
O'Clock last evening man rang the bel

MANY MURDERS 1t is noticeable
how, in this fifth year of the war, the mum

|of the tragedies recently enacted in botl
East and West are of a terrible character
land the details of the executions succeed
