our glory" She made a
large fortune at the little the
atre on the Boulevard du Tenn /
pie, which for many years
bore her name, and afterwards
became the Delassements Com
iques, and then purchased with
her savings Voltaire's house
and grounds at Ferney, but
was very soon obliged to sell
it, and during the latter years
of her life was in great power
ty. Only four years ago she
danced at the Hippodrome,
where, at the age Of seventy
six, it was q wondrous but
sorry sight to see her.
THE GOSPEL IN New Eng
LAND.-The Independent speaks
of the decline of the gospel, or
rather of an interest in the
same, IN the State of Connec-
ticut. 1t seems that a large
number of churches are with
out congregations, and that
the pay of the clergymen is so
paltry as to be little above a
starvation scale. That an in
terest in religion in all the
New England States should
become slack, is not at all sur
prising, when we consider the
lengths to which the pulpIts
there have been prostituted to
base and miserable partisan
service. 1t is not from the
lack of a sincere religious SEN
timent that these churches
have been deserted. 1t is be-
cause the congregations have
become disgusted with pollti-
cal parsons and with their rad
ical harangues, and unless the
evil be reformed altogether
we feal the spread ofrcligious
feeling in New England will
be very much restricted. Now
that the rebellion is over and
the country saved, it is to be
hoped that our country par
sons will turn their attention
to saving the souls of sinners,
and leave the mire of politics
to be dabbledin by those whose
affinities incline them that
way.-N. Y. Herald.
MURDER.-By advices from
San Francisco, California, we
have the sad news that Gen.
T. e. Pomeroy, formerly Of
this city, has been brutally
murdered, and his remains
found on a mountain near the
town of Oakland. Mr. Pom
eroy had been missed for some
time, and no clue could be OBJ
tained ofhis whereabouts. He
had gone to California to pur-
chase some lands for a Phila-
delphia mining company, and
was known to be in the enjoy
ment Of good health when he
left for his destination. Gen.
Pomeroy was well known in
this city, where he had a host
of warm personal friends. In
connection with o. Barret, he
was one of the publishers Of
the PATRIOT & UNION for sew
eral years. He welded a
brilliant pen, and his articles
always bristled with original
points and witty sarcasm. Mr..
Pomeroy was about ffty-fve
years of age.-Pdt. d Union.
AN EMINENT LADY.-The
Charleston papers announce
the death in that city, on the
18th instant, Of Miss Harriet
Pinckney, the second daugh-
ter of General Charles Cotes-
worth Pinckney, one of those
grand old men Of "l776," who,
with tongue, as well as pen
and sword, inscribed his name
high on the roll Of fame. He
was not only the companion
in-arms of Washington, but
won for. himself the distin-
guished appellation Of "the
friend of Washington" The
deceased was also eminently
allied on the maternal side Of
her house, her mother being
a daughter Of Henry Middle
ton, signer of the Declara-
tion of Independence, whose
escutcheon, when living, was
without a spot, and whose
name must ever be held in
universal esteem and honor.
The deceased was upward of
80 years of age Mt the time of
her death.-N. Y. Ne,cs.
