LOCAL MISCELLANY.

PREsBYTERY OF Misunderstanding
important business of vital interest to the
Presbyterian congregation in this place, and
to all others under the care of this venerable
body, was transacted during its recent ses-
slons in this place, from the 10Th to the 21st
inst. Its debates and transactions were re-
markable for dignity, address and unanimity.
Many enterprises, demanded by the present
exlgencies, were undertaken, and committed
to the respective charges-of which no doubt
an abstract will shortly appear in both those
veteran Presbyterian journals at Richmond,
DIR. Converses ssChristiam Observer" and
DR.. Browns " Central Presbyterian, (which
sheets, by the way, are both of superior abil-
lty, and are credit to our noble profession,
the Editorial Fraternity.
The most remarkable of the many interest
ing events of the session, was the dissolution
OF the strong and tender tie, of about twenty
five years duration, which had existed be-
tween the church of this place and its hon
ored Pastor, DR.. DUTToN. At his own re-
quest, urgently repeated-owing to feeble
health-and after a reluctant assent hv the
congregation, 10th as they were to perceive
the painful necessity which the Doctor him
self had long felt-the Presbytery at length
dissolved the relation; and, on last Sunday,
the pulpit was declared vacant.
The reports from the churches indicate
very considerable waking-up of christians,
and the conversion of many souls, throughout
the bounds of this Presbytery-a fact, ordered
to be distinctly noted on the minutes as re.
corded tribute of praise to the Most High,
for His Own Work, during the last half-year,
Illustrating the Power of Prayer. Sunrise
prayer meetings, and other special supplica,
lions, mark the present Spring Time OF tho
year, as an era among the christians of Vir-
ginia. So mote it be

card to the Ncte;o"at Lnteilgenccr, gives the,
purPort of recent decision Of his as follows:-
Myop:nion simply was, that the late peace
proclamation did not pretend to revoke tho
previous proclamation Of President Lincoln
susFeDdiDg in certain eases TIE writ in the
States lately in instruction, and 1 stated that
the peace proclamation did not include Texas,
and not that it had not and was not intended
to have SO broad and general an application as
the petitioner supposed, and therefore refused
to grant his~Prayer.

A True Story,

From the Little Corporal.l
/ do not approve of ghost stories in
general, but mine have some points in
them that | think may be of profit to
| the readers of the Little C0rp0rdL I
tell it to you as it was told to me by
one who was witness of the mysteri-
Gus scene. na
We lived in Michigan, said the mar
rator, in new, unfinished house.
There was an open garrett, with the
bare rafters running up to the peak.
There was an open stairway in the gar
ret-hoor, so that we could hear plainly
whatever was going on in the cham
Der. Father went away to town one
day, and did not return till late in the
evening; my mother, with three or
four children, was sitting by the lamp
at work, waiting for fathers return.
AS we sat quietly doing, we heard
noise up stairs which sounded as
though a ball had dropped three times.
Mother took the light and went up
stairs, but could see nothing; and she
tried to speak unconcerncdly, when she
told us the wheel was in motion. A
large spinning wheel stood in the gar
rett, near it were the swifts, . Ca sort
of reel for winding yarn, and both the
swifts and wheel were moving! /
stood with mother watching moment,
and the wheel ceased turning, and all
was quiet We seated ourselves be-
low. In few minutes we heard the
drop, drop, once more. Going up
stairs, we found theewheel and swifts
in motion again 2Mo ther now seemed
frightened. The spirit were just be-
ginning their rappings in the country,
and we at once concluded they had APP
peared in. our house.
The time passed YEARLY on, and ev-
cry few minutes that terrible sound of
drop, drop, drop on the floor, fell upon
our ears; and whenever we looked up
stairs, after the noise, we could see
the wheel going! Never did I long
for the appearance of any one as /
longed for fathers return that night. 4
We huddled together and shuddered. \
An hour passed and father came. We
quickly told him the story, but he only
laughed at u.s. He would like to. see
our ghost, he said. We requested him
to be quiet few moments. Soon we

dull sound repeated, Father took the
light and went boldly up stairs, and
found the wheel and swifts turning as
before,
He waited till all was still, and went
below. | do not know whether he
was confused or not, but he only
made fun of our ghost; perhaps it
was on purpose to drive our fears
away. He heard the dropping two or
three times, and each time went up to
find the wheel whirling. But at last
he discovered the ghostl What do
you think it was? Close the paper,
little Yankee, and guessl A basket
of dried fruit hung on the rafters.
The rats would run up the rafter,
steal bit of fruit, then jump on to
the wheel, from thence to the sWifts,
and setting the two in motion, spring
to the floor and scamper awayl This.

From'Rev r. Telford, Missionary in China.
WASHINGTON, PENN, June %, 1856, /
" ESSRS. PERRY DAVIS Or SON,
AVA Providence, Rhode Island-Dear Sirs:
During residence of some ten years as a
missionary IN siam and China, found
your Vegetable Pain-Killer a most yalIl-
able remedy for that fearful scourge the
Cholera. s-rr
In administering the. medicine, 1 found
it most effectual to give a teaspoonful of
Pain-Killer in a gill of hot water sweet
ened with sugar; then, after about fifteen
minutes, begin to give tablespoonful of
the same mixture every minnie un til relief
was obtained. Apply hot applications to
the extremities: Battle the bowels and
stomach with the Pain-Killer, clear and
rub the limbs briskly. OF those who had
the Cholera and took the medicine faith
fully in the way stated above, eight out of
ten recovered.
Truly yours, r. TELFORD.
If attacked with Diarrhoea, Dysentery, or
Cramp Collie, do not delay the use of the
Pain-Killer.
Sold by all medicine dealers. Price Is
