THE SCENE or THE GREAT SURREN-
pER.--A correspondent of the Rich
mond Whg, WHO has just visited the
scene of the great surrender, furnish
es the following, dated at Lynchburg i:
1t may not be uninteresting to your
readers, to give . minute description
of the house in which the articles of
capitulation were signed. 1 was a
guest of Major McLaine, and sat in
the very room. The house is of brick
about fifty feet long. with porch in
front extending the whole length. In
the front of tho house is we'll, cover
ed over with lattice work. The yard
is small, with fine plat of grass shad-
ed with locust trees. At about half
past 10 O'Clock, Gems. Lee and Grant
met in the parlor, which is about eigh-
teen feet square, comfortably furnish
ed, the walls decorated with paintings.
The interview lasted until after 3
O'Clock. Major MoLsine,> has the
names of all who were present, but as
he intends getting yi a fine picture of
the whole soeneI Iswssls os. .n q siaoFe into
detail. On the wall, there is d very
accurate diagram drawn by Federal
officer. The table and the chairs have
been taken away as relics.
You remember the brave Captain
Macon who fell on the evening of the
8thl His remains lie here on tn,
brow of the hill that overlooks the viii
lage. The grave is we'll marked, but
not enclosed. Near him is the grave
of Federal soldier, and these are
the only graves in this locality. To
them the battle strife is over. In the
dark and sepulchral shades they sleep,
where the voice of friend or foe can
never reach them.
THE EoUINoCTIAL SToRM.-The great
fall ofrain which continued IN Indiana,
IhillOlS, miSSouIi duu@oIio SIuCo nuOHuHN
last, is reported to be abating. The
course of the rtorm was eastward, and
Pittsbnrg, Baltimore and Eastern Vir.
ginia generally have been visited with
heavy rains. Scioto river, in Ohio, rose
higher than it ever was before, and
Louisville, Kentucky, was completely
submerged. Several schooners were
driven ashore in Lake Michigan, and
several persons are reported to have
been drowned. Immense loss was in
aicted in Indiana by the drowning of
! stock, especially hogs, in the river bot.
tom lands. The damage throughout
the Mississippi valley is estimated by
millions Of dollars. Heavy as was the
storm with us, it is evident from all ac-
counts that we were far from exper;eEc-
ing its full force, which seems TO have
been experienced west of the Allegha-

IAhihi.-A young Seutletnan In lnlS
city, who has light hair, had, few days
since, the plentiful lack of sense to buy
bottle OF quack hair dye to improve on
nature. The second application produc.
ed an effect almost as damaging as the
catastrophe in "Ten Thousand a Year"
for his locks, from bright yellow, turn
ed to deep. violet color, forming a con.
trast with his light eyebrows and blonde
complexion--as pitiable as ludcrous.
The victim has remained in doors for
ten days, but his head is still purple.
This example should be warning to all
others. Remember,
There is q destiny that

longed: to Sherman's crockery smashing

the sea. Being separated from his com.
mand one dark night, he soon found himself
holly pursued by a squad Of yellow rebels.
Racing down rough ravne, his horse fell,
throwing him stunning fall, then ealloped
away. When he recovered he commenced
feeling refund in the darkness for his steed.
Presently he encountered the carcass of o
skinned horse after feeling it carefully all
over from nose to tail, he came to the sage
conclusion thai it was his own. "Well,"
said he, II sworn 10 gravy, il that amt

gave his opinion on his return to camp that
leather must he ''pesky skIrse among the
rebels, and that they beat "crea,ion o

A Fact. WORTH PRINTING.--At

THE DIsAsrER AT NIAGARA FALLS.
"A dispatch from Niagara Falls,
September 18th, says: i,}i&
This afternoon, while terrible
wind was blowing up the gulf, two
men were discovered in small boat
in the rapids south of the Three Sis.
ters. They were struggling deperate-
ly with the waves but human power
was utterly unavailing. Hundreds of
persons were on Goat Island and saw
them, but of course were unable to
render any assistance. The terror
stricken men rowed with frantic efforts
to the very verge of the precipice,
and finally went over, still clinging'to
their oars. i~.q % ~
\ It seems MR. Cooper, the Postmas-
ter at the town Of Chippawa, on the
Canada side. two miles above the
Falls, started with Frank Leutze, the
ferryman, to GROSS the river in q small
boat. Usually the course is to pull
about two miles up the river before
attempting to cross, but on this occa-
sion the unfortunate men seem to have
imagined that the heavy wind blow
ing up stream would counteract the
force of the current and consequently
attempted to cross in a.direct line.
The result was the same as it had
been on three former occasions when
similar attempts have been made, and
their lives paid the forfeit of this mis-
take. The sad ending Of this last mad
attempt should teach alesson of care
fulness to all who live along the riv-
er's bank. The rapids Of the Niagara
are too awful in their power to be tri-
fed with. It is singular that Leutze,
the ferryman who had crossed and re-
crossed q hundred times in all kinds
Of weather;should have SO sadly mis-
judged the force Of the current, and
over er-estimated to such q degree tho
strength Of the wind.

The METHODIST EPISCOPAL SUNDAY
SCHOOL CoNvENTIoN.--The Convention reas EN-.
bled this morning, and opened with singing ana
prayer. Ihe reports of various committees awere
then read, after which DR. Nadal read an essay
Childhood and the Church" "
The speaker took broad ground in favor of tho
admission of infant church membership IL the
children of the Church are to be brought into the
Church they should be brou ht under the influence
of the Institute at an early period. In placing the
child unGar such influences but do for 1t what 1t
entitled to. The infant should grow up with the
Church, that when iG leaves this period of life and
buds INTO larger growth 1t may have Termed on 1t
that impress which 1t will carry into more mature
growth. The young mind can easily he cast in tho
Christian mold. The divine form or society Indi-
cafe that he children boru into the same inte-
rests with the parents. He is brou1ht into the
spiritual church throughthe influence OF the parent
If such influence is OF . proper kind The great
question is to the true theory of infant church
membership.
After the reading of the essay, a movement in
favor of its publication was made, but the matter,
after considerable discussion, was finally laid upon
the table
The weekday power of the Sunday School was
then considered at length, and the Convention ad-
jOuTned at twelve O'Clock.
