very interesting protracted meeting
has beenin progress in Ingle Street
Church. About twenty, we under
stand have made profession of reli7
gion. This church already has two
prosperous Sunday Schools in opera
( ton, and its members are endeavoring
to perfect their arrangements to or
ganize a third Sabbath Schools are
excellent church nurseries, and the
members of Ingle Street act wisely in
establishing them.
The usual religious services will be
held in the two Methodist Churches
this morning. At Trinity Church, the
ordinance of baptism will be admins
tered, and probationers received into
full connection. A sermon, appropri-
ate to the occasion will be preached.

An Eastern paper suggests to choirs
that when they have given tune a
full and fair trial, and find that no
body in the congregation joins with
them in singing it, the tune should be
dropped. The tunes selected by
choirs should be those in which the
congregation can join and will assist
in singing. e

M The spirit of revival is present in
this city. At Clark Street, brother
Dandy is multiplying public services,
and a growing religious interest IS
being manifested. The pastor is an
earnest worker, and his spirit is in

aglow, and souls are coming to Christ.

IT'S pfN NH BAPTIST.
5yi The First Baptist Church, wor-
shipping in Marble Hall, Grew. Geo.
r.. Pentecost, Pastor), will hold its
usual Sabbath services tomorrow.
Sunday School at 8 o'clock A. NJ.
Preaching at 101 o'clock A. NJ, and z
P. NJ, and children's church at.3 P. NJ.
d Rev. Geo. f. Pentecost has been
laboring at Boonville for some time
past, in the interval of his Sabbath
duties here, and we learn that there
is quite an awakening of religious in
terest in the Baptist Church of that
town. goh ban 9aiI m9di g s
We make the following extract from
letter to the Times and Witness,
written by Rev. I. E. Veatch, Of
Spencer County, relative to the Bap-i
fist Academy in that county:
GLENDALE sAcADEMY.AThis insti-
tuition was putin operation Nov. 18th,
1866, under the care of Rev. A. B. y
Smith, thorough man, devoted to
the cause of. education, who is NOV
ing along with the school finely, Dur
ing the past season we have erected
substantial brick building. suited to
accommodate seventy or eighty stu
dents, and a few days since the Trus-
tees agreed to erect building two
stories high, 30x40, for which we have
sufficient stock subscribed, and have
already purchased the brick, and will
be ready to commence with the open
ing Spring. Our Seminary is intended
fer male and female students, and is
located in healthy part of the coun-
try, In the midst of an immense coal
region which is attracting the atten-
ton of strangers, and railroads are
the daily topic Of conversation.
We copy the following items from
the Times and Witness Baptist:
The Church at Indianapolis has
just made up its annual collection for
the State Convention, amounting to
nearly $500. The proportion of the
81, 900 that the State proposes to raise
this year averaged upon the Indiana
polls church was 1920. The church
considerably exceeded the average.
This is good example, and, it is
hoped, may. have its influence upon
other churches.
The vacant pulpit at GreencastIe
has, at length, been supplied. Rev.
r. NJ Parks, of Bedford, has accept,
ed the call of the church to becomeIl
their pastor, and will remove his fam
ily'to Greencastle and,scommence his
labors there in a short time. This is
an important town, with population
of some 1000 The meeting house is
good and nearly free of debt. Bro
Parks will find an open and an in
viting field. and good results may be
confidently expected from his pastor
ate at Greencastle.
We found Bro. Girdwood, who has
just entered upon his labors as pastor
OF the Baptist Church at Lafayette,
hard at work. He has met, from the
church and people, a cordial and
hearty welcome, and he finds himself
at home at once. He finds the con-
8trast between the West and East by
no means all on the wrong side. His
congregations are good, and though
there is no general religious interest,
there are few inquiries among his
-peeple. The church at Lafayette
have before them the great work of
building Westinghouse. They pro-
pose. to build a. good and spacious
house, which is much needed. t

New South Carolina.

The tidings from the capital of South
Carolina. says the New York Tribune, is
calculated to astonish the Rip Van Wink
les of the North. A great meeting of the
People has been held preliminary to a re
construction of the State under the recent
act Of Congress, and such eminent chiefs Of
the late OIigarchy as Gen, Wade Hampton
have fraternized heartily with the most
capable and trusted negroes; the leading
whites and blacks vying with each other in
expressions Of mutual confidence and good
will. The whites concede to the blacks
every right which they claim for them
selves; while the blacks take the lead in
a>king Congress to repeal all disabling and
disfranchiSing acts, SO as to allow the State
to command the services Of her ablest and
most trusted citizens. In short, South
Carolina has already taken her stand on
the true, broad, generous National Plat
form of Universal Amnesty with Impair
tiai Suffrage, aud will soon be in Congress
shaming the obstinate owls Of the Middle
and Western States out of their lingering
preiudices and atfactations of prejudice
against recognition Of the inalienable
Rights of Man.
Such is the natural, bencfcent operation
of the Reconstruction act Of Congress, so
fi-rcely denounced by the President and
by the Copperhead Congressman and Jour
mails, as an act ''to organize heII' in the
South, to destroy Liberty, and to wheln
the whole land in anarchy and military des
potism. So far as we can now see, every
ex-RebeI State but Texas will promptly
and cordially reorganize on the basis pro
posed by Congress, and have its deIega
tion ready to take seats in Congress before
the close Of this year. What patriot hear
does not swell with gratitude and JOY a
the pre- spect?

feated by Senator Wallace; but he was
thrown into a double district in 1864,
(Blair, Huntingdon, Centre, Mifflin, Juni-
alta and Perry,) and in the fall Of that year
was reelected with Mr.. Haines. He has
thus served six years, and been bonored by
an election as Speaker both terms. He is
one of the ablest debaters aud best parlia-
mentarians in the Senate. We do not
know whether he is a candidate for re-
relection or not.
Kirk Haines, of Perry, his colleague
served in the House in 1856, and was
defeated for Senator in the Perry and Cum
berand district in the fall of 1856 by Gen.
Fetter. He was nominated with Mr. Hall
in the new district in 1864, and elected.
He is quiet, unassuming but useful mem
Der, and stands deseWedly well with his
people.
Thos. J. Bigham, of Allegheny, is the
most experienced ana one Of the ablest
legislators in either body. He has served
some six or seven years in the House at
different periods, and has just closed full
term in the Senate. He is one of the
most upright and earnesr menin the legls-
lature, and foeman worthy of any ones
steel in the hard blows of debate. He is
perhaps more intimately acquainted in de
tail with all questions Of State policy than
any of lis associates, anl is untiring in his
efforts for the public welfare. He will
doubtless be reelected without a serious
contest as be eminently deserves to be.
Morrow B. Lowry, of Erie, is the enthu-
siastIc. tempestuous Radical and anti-mo,
nopolist of the legislature, and makes Rome
howl to order whenever he takes fancy
that way. He served in the House many
years ago as Democrat, but he swept
into the Republican ranks some ten years
ago, and has been one of the most radical
men of the State ever since. He has been
twice elected to the Senate from Erie and
| Crawford, but will now retire, we learn, to
make a strike for Congress. lie is a man
of strong native ability, makes all possible
use of it, and is one of the most efficient
members of the Senate. A Crawford Re
publican will doubtless succeed him. Such
is hasty pen and ink glance at the retir-
ing Senators -FaukIin Repository.

Duty OF TOWNSHIP AUDITORS 1t
may not be generally known that geuer-
al law of the last session of the Legislature
approved April IL, 1866, requires the
bounty accounts ofe every district to be care
fully audited by the Township Auditors,
who shall prepare a condensed statement
of the condition Of these finances, and pub
lish the same, at the cost of the district, for
three successive weeks, in two papers" IL
not only requires This dnty to be performed
by the Township Auditors, but imposes a
penalty of fifty dollars upon each Auditor
who refuses to comply, one-haIf of which
fine goes to the prosecutor, and the other
halt to the school fund of the district. IL
provides, aIso that the Auditors shall ne
tity the School Directors or other parties
having the disbursement of the bonnty
funds, to appear before them at such time
as the Auditor. shall fix, for the purpose OF
enabling the Auditors to close up the
bounty accounts Of the township for the
fiscal year.

MR. BECKETT, the present proprietor of
Point Breese, Bordentown, the residence of
Joseph Bonaparte, when in this country,
having paid the tax on his property under
protest, carried the case before the Supreme
Court of New jersey, which has decided
that the property of an alien is not exempt
from taxation. 1t is probable that an APP
peal will be at once made to the United

ever, be likely to reverse the decision of the
lower co rt. This is a test case, and other

E-The Detroit Union furnishes the
details of most heart-rending case of hy-
drophobia in that vicinity. A short time
since a daughter of A fred Woodruff, who
resides in the town of Greenfield, about
seven miles from the city, was slightly BIT
ten by dog, and for day or two com
planned of the pain caused simply by the
bite. The sore partially healed over, how
ever, aud no more attention was paid to
the matter. In short time, however, the
virus which had been communicate by the
dog to her system. commenced It's deadly
work, and the poor suffering child soon be
came raving mad Her cries were heart
renling, and her appeals for death, for any
thing to eud her torture, frightful.
Everything that science and skill could
do was done for the little one, but there
she lay upon her bed of anguish, round
with cords, suffering what no human pen
can describe, yet evincing in her madness a
desire to injure even those who loved her
best. Her sufferings were too much for
human forbeaance her agony too great to
allow even her fond parents to witness 1t,
and the question arose, how shall this be
ended! After long and painful consul
tation, the conclusion was arrived at that
the best and most hum:ue course to pursue
was to put an end to the poor sufferer
lie. Who can picture the feelings Of ,h'
dear little ones friends as the announce
meut was made that she must die! Who
can imagine the rejoicing Of the soul of the
poor one, as it was released from won
and tortured body? The only efectua
and easiest means Of ending her trials wa
decided to be sutfocation, and while sh
was in one Of her worst paroxysms, she wa
seized and smothered to death. Though
to some this may seem harsh and cruel, ye
in our estimation it was far better course
shan to allow the l'ttle one to live in pain
anguish and agony for few short rours
suffering even the pains and anguish of un
told heis aud at last die in misery.

GG@ The Republicans Of Pennsylvania
will rejoice that the apostate Cowan has
been squarely rejected by the Senate as
Minister to Russia, He not only betrayed
the faithful men OF the State who had hon
ored him quite beyond his deserts, but he
was the chief of the coruptionists who bar
tered Johnson's Offices from place to place,
to seduce Republicans from their convic-
tlons for price. 1t was fl ting. therefore,
that one so debauched and so conspicuous
in the effort to debauch Others, should be
the first United States Senator ever reject
