a MOODY MYSTERY.
Shooting Of Negro aud His wife
Near brentwood.

Near brentwood.
A gentleman, returning from the city 10
his home night before last, when about two
miles from Brentwood on the Wilson pike,
discovered negro woman lying on the
road, who had been shot through the thigh.
She was conveyed to house near Brent
wood, where she was properly attended to.
The woman then stated that while return.
ing in company with her husband, Jas.
Drake, from picking cotton in field be
longing to Mr.. Davis, they were fired upon
by two persons, of whom she was unable
to give the slightest description, and that
she thought her husband was shot dead.
Search was made for the body that night,
but it was not found until yesterday morn-
ing, when it was discovered that pistol
shot had entered near the region of the
heart, passing through the body, and which
must have caused death almost instanta-
neously. No clue has been found to the
murderers. A verdict was yesterday rem
dered in accordance with the above facts.

Singing Gy Spurgeon Congre-
CATION.

A writer of the Western Presbyterian
thus describes the singing as he heard il
recently. OF Spur-eon's congregation, In
London:
The HYMN was read entirely through,
and each verse was read before IL was
sung. The singing was s:arted-not lel
by a person who stood beside Mr.
Spurrcon. | welcomed the familiar notes
of Old Hundred, and for The first time
for tseveral months, essaved 10 ioin in
singing If But | was surprised INTO 81
lence br The manner in which the audi
enee took possession OF the tune The
most powerful organ. if there had been
ANYTHING of the kind used, could not
have led them The second hylnn was
announced to be Jesns, Lover of mv
Soul The preacher s;lid, - Lei u Sing
this precious hymn softly 10 the tune of
Plevel's lIrmn." When the first verse
had been sung. and after he had nead fine
second. he said, --Ning II softly :" With
countenanoe upliiIed and bcaminc with
fervor his book in both hands, keeping
time involuniarily 10 The music, he >:lng
with the congregaiiOn. When he had
read the third verse, he said, - You DO
not sing il softly enough - They sang
il softly. 1t WAS as though some mighty
hand had damned up the waters of the
Falls Of NIAGARA, leaving 4 ihin sheet to
creep through Iwo fingers and make soft.
sweet music in lis greai leap and plunge
into the great hasin below. Then when
he had read The fourth verse. he said
Now If We feel this We viii SIM il with
all our souls Let US sing IL with all
our might = and the great congregation
burst forth into song, Il was as though
the Great Hand had been suddenly up
lifted, and the gathered waters Were
rushing on their united way in awful
grandeur
have heard the members of the gen
eral assembly of the Presbyterian church,
with a great company OF their wives,
and daughters, and friends, sing Old
Hundred with a fervor that thrilled me :.
| have heard oratorios rendered in Exeter
Hall 10y Thousand selected voices. five
hundred instruments, and a great organ;
| have heard operas rendered in the I'm
perial Opera House of the French I'm
Peror by a great number OF the best vo-
calists and musicians that could be found
in Europe. but l have never heard mu-
sic so pathetic, grand and soul->iirring a.
that made 10y those who worshipped
with me in the Metropolitan Tabernacle,

course, checked; but so short was the
interval, 80 great had been the impetus
that it seemed almost impossible to pre-
vent the whole train from geing over in
to the chasm- Had the rails been I'm the
least degroe slippery, any Of the brakes
out of order, or the driver less deter
mined, there would then have occurred
the most fearful railway accident ever
known in England; but by dint of quick
decision and cool courage the danger
was averted.; the train was brought to
standstill when the buffers of the engine
absolutely and literally hung over the
chasm. Three wards more. and differ
ent result might have had to he chron-
icled.
''Some of my readers may remember
an incident in railway history which
dates hack TO our first great exhibition
