An OLD MEMBER OF CoNGREss.-7Iacob
Barker, just elected representative from
Louisiana, is probably the oldest man ever
elected to Congress, he being almost eighty
six years of age. Mr.. Barker was born in
Perkins, Me-, (better known as Swan Island,
in the Kennebec river,) December l779.
He went TO New York when boy, and be-
fore he was twenty-One was a leading man
among the commercial men of that city,
and the owner of five ships. He was a
member of the New York Senate during
the war of 1Sl2-15, and after the war started
bank, which afterwards failed He was
insulted soon after its failure, challenged
the insulter, was arrested, convicted, and
disfranchised. but was afterward pardOned
by Gov. Dewitt Clinton. In 1884 he re-
moved to New Orleans, and though %
years of age studied law and was admitted
10 practice, but soon engaged in banking,
from which he has realized fortune.
A NEW SECT.--A new sect has lately
sprung up in Berlin. Its members call
themselves ''The COgitants." Dr. Edward
Lowenthal, the founder, has published a
book about his opinions, which he calls a
religion without confession. The Cogi-
tants also have their magazine, bearing the
following motto: ''Our knowledge is our
faith; our dignity is our morality; our
worship is our life; and our religion is--our
secret" A few of their doctrines and
practices are as follows: Neither theft nor
fraud can be punished with imprisonment.
Women are TO have part IN the church
government. Only the lower part Of a cof-
fin should be buried in the earth. All good
Cogitants are to have good dinner for
nothing, and dine in public on Christmas
day, Easter Sunday, and Whit-Sunday.
The head of the Cogitants is to wear a
black camlet cloak, with upright collar and
three silver stars on it.

The venerable college of William and
Mary, at Williamsburg, Va, has suffered
more severely from the effects of the war
than any other literary institution in the
South. The total amount of the losses, In
Guiding destruction and damage to build
ings, funds lost, &c, is estimated at over
$4,000. The Norfolk Day Book states that
the Board Of che College have determined
TO make an appeal to the English nobility
and gentry 10 aid in the resuscitation of the
institution, which, having been endowed by
royal munifcence and the private liberallty
of Englishmen, Is calculated to. awaken
more interest In England than any other
literary institution in America.
