patai Accident In DcpeAIx, n, IA
Church Blown Down,
From the Depo.ff Coufter.7

The Baptist Society OF this village had COM
mepced rebuilding their church. The old
structure was built with basement story
OF brick, used as session room, while the
maln floor was in the second story. The
plan was to take ont four feet Of tho
brick walls, splice down the possa
Of the wooden structure, and lower
the tlcor TO the new sills, thus making
the church four feet higher between joints.
and dispensing with the basement The
work of taking out the walls and splicing
down the posts had been successfully accom-
plished, the floor had been lowered to the
spot, and large number Of mechanics aud
members Of the Society, who were assisting,
were at work Oh Wednesday afternoon In
bringing the floor to Its position with jack
screws, and IN taking ont the old seats and
other movable articles from the church.
About four ?. NJ, 3 sudden Storm OF wind

seemed, almost miraculou5ly escaped without

APPEAL FOB NORTHERN ALA
BAHIA.

The suGenngs or the people Of Northern
Alabama, as described In the letters OF our
sncial correspondent In that quarter, have
already aroused the syupathies Of many o.
our readers. For miles and miles Of a coun-
try, nliayored by nature and sparscly popu-.
lated before the Kar, the traveller now en-
counters at every dwelling only the starving
widows and orphans, of Uuionists who were
hunted down, forced into the rebel ranks and
killed IN the war. Humanity sfckens and
shudders al the thought that while all other
parts Of our common country arc flowing
our owp race and color, guilty of no crime,
and even cut of from The sympathies Of the
Southern aristocraey by their loyalty to the
Onion, are there dying Of starvation, ,nakedness
and despair. We know that It Is only needed
that these facts shonld be generally known,
and abundant relief would flow In from every
part Of the Northern States. Already organ
izations are actively canvassing in their BE-
half in the Eastern cities and Ia Cincinnati
and ST. Louis. But for some reason the
Union Commission which. untl1 recently, ST.
forded medium of extending ald 10
the suffering whites Of The South, has
suspended its exertions. There re-
mains only the Northwestern Frecdmcn's
Aid Commission, which, though organized
specially TO work In another field, will gladly
assist In any efforts looking to the special ro-
Lief Of the starving white women and children
OF Alabama, An enthusiastic energetic ef.
fort, worthy Of Chicago and the Northwest,
should be made In behalf Of these people, or
many thousands will die Of famine In this
very season Of fruits and harvests. For there
they have neither had seed to plant, cattle or
horses to p1ow with, tools to work with, or
men 10 do The planting and culnvatlng. We
call the attention Of our readers 10 this field
Of benevoleace, trusting that many Of them
Will make 1t specially, and contribute
promptly and generonsly 10 chsHty 20
presslng. and whose claims arc 60 irresistible.

MiscegenatIon and Puritan Philanthropy

The Troy IN. W Wing tells the fol-
lowing story:
Some time since there was family in
Sandgate, Vermont, with a sable black
man as husband, from so to 55 years old,
AID white woman some ten or fifteen
years younger as wife, with four children,
three of whom were white, and the fourth
a mulatto, the issue of this white and
black married couple The woman had
been the wife of white soldier who was
killed in battle, and the three children
were the offspring Of this marriage.
The woman was in bad health and in
the first stage of consumption. The fam
lily became town charge, and had to be
supported at the expense of the people Of
Sandgate. The cute Sandgatians conclu-
ded, however, not long to bear the load OF
their support, and they accordingly for
warded this black and white family to
Chicago, where, having no means of sup
port, they became public charge on the
poor fund of that city.
The Chicago authorities eDquired into
the facts about the family, and learning
the nature of the present sent them by the
Sandgate officials, they Immediately start
ed the family back to the place from
whence they came, paying their railroad
fare hence. The family arrived in Troy
on Saturday night, after the train had
gone North, and having no place to stay,
and no sufficient means to pay hotel
bill, they applied to the Second Police
Station house for lodging and shelter un-
til they could take their departure by this
mornings early Northern train.
Their request was granted, and they
were guests at the Hotel de Police all
day yesterday The woman is in feeble
health and evidently has the consump-
ton. This whole affair is little creditable
to the humanitarians of SYNDICATE, who
seem to prefer sending their contributions
to the freedmen of the far South, rather
than to expend them in taking care of the
colored poor at their own door.

The Cholera in England!

One fatal case of the Asiatic cholera
has occurred in Bristol, England The
person attacked was sailor who had just
arrived from Rotterdam. 1t does not ap-
pear that any other cases had occurred IN
England up to the I'd instant
The London Daily Neoos remarks that
the recent outbreak of the disease ut
Southampton "was not traced, so far as
we are aware to any definite source, and
the same mystery which obscured the ORR
gin of the cattle plague has, on former &C.
casions surrounded the first appearance of
cholera in England but this time we
know the country and the part from which
it is likely to be introduced"
The Times observes that, "instead of
moving steadily onward in one fixed course
it has been going about like scarlet fever
or small pox in our country villages, not
producing anywhere any alarming NOR
tality, but acting rather like the epidem-
les of ordinary seasons. 1t was only by
brief occasional notices that we heard of
its presence, as we might have heard of
any other malady more prevalent than
usual. Nowhere, since its decline in Paris,
have its ravages been described as those
of genuine plague
Mr. Robert Hamilton writes from Lv-
erpool to the London Times that the
steerage passengers on board the
steamer England, among whom the chol-
era first appeared, were East Frissfanders,
"of the lowest class, stunted in growth,
filthy in habits, dressed in linsey-woolen
clothing, and, in preference to the whole.
some food provided for them, subsisting
entirely on their Saurhrout" They came
by way of Rotterdam to Hull, and thence
to Liverpool, where they remained two
or three days before sailing. Mr.. Hamil-
ton adds:
"The cholera has broken out in two or
three different places in Holland. 1t is
therefore advisable that stringent meas
ures should be at once taken to prevent
these emigrants, either on their arrival at
Hull, or in their transit in tho railway
from Hull to Liverpool, or while remain
ing at the latter place, leaving, as it were,
the germs Of the disease among US, as
these latter would only need the hot
months of summer to burst forth"
The International Cholera Conference
still continues its sittings at Constantine,
pie, but no apparent progress has been
made. This unsatisfactory result is at
tributed to the fact that the body has
been divided into several committees,
each of which is charged with specific
duty, in order to establish general pre-
ventive system ; but no new idea has been
preached, and nothing is added to our
stock of knowledge, although the field of
inquiry is conveniently open at Constan-
tinople.

Interesting Divorce Case-Wife Lost and
Fortune Gained,

A divorce case, which has been lately
pending in our courts, and to which has
attached something of interest, was de-
cided On Wednesday by Judge Meredith,
who issued decree in favor of Mrs. Jes-
sic B. Harvie, plaintiff absolving her from
the matrimonial bonds formerly existing
between herself and Robert Harvie.
The suit was prosecuted by A. Noise,
Jr., counsel for the plaintiff, who is we'll
known, pretty and popular ex-actress and
danseuse, having formerly figured on the
stage under her maiden name of Jessie
Warner, and, rumor says, that undaunted
by the unfortunate termination of loves
first young dream, the fair divorced pro-
poses soon to link herself in hymeneal
bonds with some other daring spirit.
The husband found some consolation
in the loss of his wife by the unexpected
gain of fortune, for on the. very day on
which the divorce was granted he receiv
ed letter from his father (who was sup
posed to be deud), ann ouncing his return
with fortune from foreign parts, and Of
fering his son the sum of $4,000 with
which to commence business.-Richmond
