A CHRISTIAN GATHERING. -.Onc of the most
pleasant incidents Of which we have heard
in our connection with this weeks celebra.
ton Of the birth Of the "Prinse of Peace"
has been that of a beautiful little girl of six
years old, who expressed a wish to invite to
dinner on Christmas, some poor children
whom she had known to have asked aims at
her fathers gate. The wish was cheerfully
complied with, and last Monday about ti-
teen girls Of from eight to ten years Of age
were received As guests of this little girl.
They partook Of bountifnl repast, the gem
erous child herself waiting upon them with
her own small hands, carrying briskly about
the plates Of pie and plum pudding, and de-
lighted beyond measures at the happiness
she bestowed. After a full enjoyment. Of
these creature comforts,"a nicely dressed
doll was presented to each child, and the
little ones took their departure with love
and happiness depicted on their faces. We

DARING DAYLIGHT TROBBERT-A MAN
RELIEVED OF $4,000.

We have come into the particulars of one
of the most daring and adroit robberies per-
petrated yesterday afternoon, and which, in
point of skill and execution, excels anything
of the kind we have chronicled for some time
past. II appears young man, travelling
agent for DR.. Roeback's Scandinavian Blood
Pills and Bitters, had just returned from
collecting tour, during which he had ac-
cumulated about $4,000. Upon arriving in
this city, he visited the Doctors place of
business on Third street, between Sycamore
and Broadway, and there learned the Doctor
was i'll, and forthwith started for his resi-
dence TO report in person with the money in
his pocket.
When near the corner of Fifth and Syca-
more, he was met by man and woman
the former of which was apparently seized
with fit and fell heavily to the pavement.
The agent instantly came 10 the assistance
of the woman, and kneeling over the pros
trate form ofthe man, unbuttoned hisvest and
shirt, united his cravat, and sprinkled water
in his face until he revived. The man arose
seemingly weak and exhausted, but thanked
the Young man and informed him he would
he able to proceed on his Journey. The
agent again started on his way for the doc
tors residence, and after lapse of five min
uies felt for his money. TOhis astonishment
his pocket had been cut and the money
distracted, He Immediately hastened back
to the place where the man had been seized
with the fit, but man, woman and "a, 900 had
disappeared and were nowhere TO be seen,
and have not been heard of up to the present
time.

that he would return in the morning. He
ulu not, however, make his appearance, and
as the children were down stairs early the
previous morning, some doubt existed as to
Whetherth they should be awakened. Half-past
eight arrived, when one of the chamhermaids
entered the first room, in which the two
younger children were placed in bed, and, to
her extreme horror, found they were dead
ohe Immediately raised an alarm, when the
proprietors and others entered the room in
Whlch the eldest child had been placed, and
there found that he was also dead
The appearance of the bodies clearly
showed that they had expired without much
struggling, if any. That is borne out to
great extent from the fact that the youngest
child had firmly clutched in her hand a half
penny. Medical assistance was at once sent
for, and the three children were pronounced
to have been dead some hours and, in the
absence an examination of the bodies, the
prevailing opinion of the medical men is that
the death of each was caused by the admins
tration Of prussic acid. Whether such was
the case or not, will be fully inquired into
when the coroner's inquest is held. Ofcourse,
post mOrtem examination will be made of each
body.
The children, when brought to the hotel,
were not well dressed, but their manners were
good. They conversed with waiting boy,
and said during the conversation the person
who brought them there was not thRir father.
They were taken from their father either to
go to school or abroad. On each occasion,
when the suspected murderer left, he apollo
gized for the trouble the children might
cause, but was assured that they were not at
all in the way, which appeared to satisfy him
On each occasion he paid what was due
The eldest child told the waiting boy that
their father believed they were dead, but
gave no reason for such an expression. They
chatted in simple, unconnected way, until
they went to bed"

MERDER OF THREE CHILDREN IN
LONDON.

The following are the circumstances of the
murder of three children in London
ION the 9Th, a respectfully dressed man
called at the Star Coffee House and Hotel, in
Red Lion Street, Holborn, London, and in
quired if three children could be accommo-
dated with bed for a few nights. Being in
formed that one room would be unoccupied,
he said that the children were respectively
six, eight and ten years of age, and that the
accommodation would be sufficient He
called again on the Monday evening with the
children, and saw them to bed, He told the
proprietor of the house that they were about
to proceed 10 Australia, and that the accom-
mediation would only be required for few
days. The next morning the children were
down stairs by halfpast six They were
very cheerful and waited in the coffee room
until the arrival of the person who had
brought them, whichwas before eight O'Clock,
After breakfast he left, hut he returned at one
O'Clock when the children dined, and he
again len, saying he would see them in the
evening.
About six O'Clock he came again, and the
children had tea and bread and butter. He
then said that as they might be tiresome, he
would take them to bed-in the first place,
however, nquiring if another room could be
provided This he was told he could have,
when he went up stairs and put the children
to bed--the two younger in the room formerly
occupied by them, and the eldest in the other
room. He asked for candle to see that the
children were all right; and after remaining
up stairs a short time, left the house, saying

THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN
THE SOUTH.

SOME OF ITS SOUTHERN REPRESENTATIVES,
DETERMINED TO KEEP ALooF FROM THE
CORRUPTED RELIGION OF THE NoRTH''-
VIOLATIONS OF PRINCIPLES OF FAITH.
The Presbytery of Lexington, Va, mel in
Harrisonburg on Wednesday, the 10Th inst
This body embraces in its territorial limits
Rockbridge, Augusta, and Rockingham, with
some adjacent counties on the west At this
meeting, nineteen ministerial members were
present. and the churches were represented
by fourteen ruling elders.
The Rockingham Register says The sub
ject which excited the most interest was the
relations of the Presbyterian Church in the
South 10 those in the North, from whom they
separated. The committee having this mat
ter in hand presented two reports, agreeing
in sentiment but differing much in length
and particularity. The more elaborate one
read, though not written, by Col. Preston,
representative of the Lexington church, was,
after considerable amendment, adopted. -
From this it appears that the great fault
found with the Northern General Assembly
is its violation of principle of the Presby-
terian Confession of Faith, in one place
stated thus "Synods and councils are to
handle and conclude nothing but that which
is ecclesiastical, and are a0t to NEEDLE aoith
ciod affairs which concerns the Common
wealth, unless by way of humble petition in
cases extraordinary The General Assem-
bly, in the United States required all its
members to submit to their ecclesiastical in
terpretation of the doctrine of State rights
and of slavery. This change of religious
body into political meeting necessitated
the withdrawal of the Southern part of the
Presbyterian Church, and the continued po-
litical character of that professedly ecclesi-
astical Interpretation of the doctrine of State
rights and Of slavery. This change of a
religious body into political meeting neces-
stated the withdrawal of the Southern part
of the Presbyterian Church, and the con-
tinued political character of that professedly
eeclesiastic body prevents reunion. The
document referred 10 details a number of
instances in which this attempt TO regulate
civil matters by church court has led to
decisions and doctrines most erroneous and
injurious The discussion upon this report
was extensive and interesting, and plainly
revealed the fact that this Presbytery con-
siders it solemn duty to keep itself aloof,
as far as possible, from the corrupted religion
of the North. The Northern Assembly has
gone so far as to resolve to wrest the South
ern church property from its Legitimate own
ers whenever a few malcontents can he
found in church willing to hold it under
that Assembly's jurisdiction. Against this
the Presbytery protested, and warned the
churches under its care.

A WILD OK IN THE STREETS OF
NEW YORK.

From the N. Y. Post, 2sth.
An OK, which had, it is understood, escap-
ed from passing drove of cattle in the upper
part Of the city, became inihriated and rushed
down town yesterday, attacking several per-
sons and severely injuring them. The OK
came through Lexington Avenue, and his
wild plunging caused great excitement and
alarm. Turning into Twenty fourth street
he knocked down an old man named Thomas
Golden, who resided at No. 425 First Avenue
Golden was picked up and taken TO Bellevue
Hospital The OK went again into Lexing-
ton Avenue and dashed down to Twenty first
street, where he attacked another man named
Randolph Mallic goring him in the side
On the approach of the animal the way was
rapidly cleared for him, all persons who
could, making their escape
In Twenty first street the OK encountered
police sergeant Policy, and ran at him fierce
y; but the sergeant, with well directed shot
from a revolver, which took effect in the ami
mails head, checked his progress for the
time, and turned him into Third avenue =
The sergeant started in pursuit and followed
to Sixteenth street, when, seeing the OK was
getting ahead of him, he procured horse
and continued the pursuit through Four
teenth street to Sixth avenue, and back
through Seventeenth Street to Union Square
and Irving Place.
This was a most exciting chase. Itcaused
even more excitement and confusion than the
OK alone had been able to produce; for the
sergeant, as he rode, fired on the animal
which had by this time, become perfectly
wild from the fright and the pain experienced
In Irving Place the OK became exhausted
by the loss of blood, and fell. He had re
ceived nine shots from the revolver of hi
pursuer.
Ii is reported that other persons beside
those named above, were injured by the o.
in his dash through the city-among tn
number two ladies', whose names are no
given. A boy named Israel Sutherland, re
siding at No. 1856 West Seventeenth Street
was also attacked and much bruised.
