house on the outskirts Of the town owned
and occupied by Mrs. Dobbins. Being a

SCENE IN CHURcH-A HOwLING Doc
INrERRuPTs The EXERCIsEs.-A gentle
man living on Market street is the happy
possessor of small black tan dog. This
dog has received the most careful training,
and is, consequently, able to perform
number Of astonishing tricks, many of them
never before performed by any dog in the
world. One of these tricks is to join in
upon music being played. This be does in
a manner delightful to hear.
Well, the servant girl at the gentleman's
house went TO church Sunday evening, and
the dog followed her. Once inside the
building, the musical canine went pOkiDg
his nose about in different localities, and
finally assembled the pulpit stairs. From
this elevated position he calmly surveyed
the congregation. But little did thafcon-
gregation think it was to be treated to q
display Of the dogs peculiar powers.
Imagine its surprise then, when the organ,
commencing TO thunder forth its solemn
harmony, the dog thought he must do'as he
was accustomed in his masters parlor.
The organ played, and the dog howled from
the pulpit stairs OF tremendous rate. The
old folks drew down their brows. The
young ones laughed outright. One in au-
thority attempted to take the dog out, but
he couldn't see it, and . ZEN the gentleman
attempted to lay handG on him, jumped
back, showed his teeth, and barked furi-
ously. He would neither go out nor would
he keep quiet so longa as the organ sounded.
As a last resort, the organist ceased playing,
whereupon the dog ceased bowling.

FIFTEEN YEARS ABSENCE OF A WIFE
She HAS FoUND HER AFFINITY.-A bit OF
romance in one of our Worcester towns IS
exercising the minds of the gossips just
now. Here it is: Some seventeen years
ago the daughter of wealthy farmer was
married with some eclat, and went away
to live in York State" The history OF
the domestic felicity of this marriage ira
dition is not recorded, but after two years
or so from the wedding day the young wife
expressed wish to return home for few
weeks visit. The husbands business just
then precluded the idea of his accompany
ing her, but he helped on her preparations,
and one bright morning, now fifteen years
ago, carefully put her on board the eastern
bound train, babe her farewell, and went
back to his home to keep bachelors hall
as best he might.
Strange to say, he heard nothing from
the absentee but, faithful to his promise,
the next Sunday he wrote her long letter,
setting forth all his discomtorts, and beg
ged her to hasten her return. Lo, the re-
turn mail brought not dainty little loving
missive from his absent Harriet, but a
strange, il-omened scrawl from her mother.
II was a wild cry of alarm. The daughter
had not been home! And from that time
for fifteen years she never did reach home,
orilarken or brighten her husbands doors.
The husband bore his bereavement most
stoically; the father said nothing. He loved
his boys, and was proud Of them. His girl
he had reared mp to womanhood, got her
well married Off, and the worriment of the
mystery he had washed his hands of. 1t
belonged, by good rights. to the husband.
But the poor mother, who had never, in
all her life before, gone beyond the sha-
dow of her husbands apple trees, set Of
alone in search of her. She wandered up
and down the world for months. A shy,
quiet, homc-body, very deaf, and knowing
no more about geographical points and
railroad routes than the big dog she left at
home, no one wondered when she gave up
the search at last as hopeless. She grew
very old and very deaf mean time, and
everybody pitied the meek, patient, mo-
therly woman, who forced herself to settle
down at last and live on the old, unap.
peased anxiety. Well, the daughter came
home the other day. She had found her
affinity, and been living with him for these
fifteen years. She don't need to marry
him. They understand each other per-
fectly, but she thought she'd just step
home for flying. visit, to let them all
know how happy she is.-BoStoH Iracellsr.

dition of agriculture nor commerce was at
tributable to the usury law. Maritime
commerce we never had great deal Of,
and agriculture languished from no human
cause. Nothing but the products Of the
soil-nothing but the bountiful yield Of the
earth--couh revive agriculture OF restore
the country to prosperity. For this sort OF
recovery Mr.. TURNER thought the prospect
bright. Men were excrting themselves
nObly. And at no former time were so few
of our young men leaving the State. A
large majority, to their honor be ii spoken,
remained, and were laboring manfully to
resuscitate Virginia from her shattered and
cruel fortune.
Mr.. TURNER did not believe the repeal
of the usury law would bring dollar into
the State. The uncertain status Of Yir-
ginia would continue torepel capital. Men
would not lend money to community
where the law to enforce contracts might
be repealed in a day. Would any gentle
man in this House lend money to q person
iu North Carolina or South Carolina! I'm
questionably not. How could We expect
it to come to Virginia to be loaned Per-
sons, by making contracts in New York,
and depositing securities there, could Dor
row money, but he did net think the money
would come here to be loaned until an
entire different condition Of things should
occur. a- -- ..ee-- a
Mr.. TURNER could not subscribe to the
doctrine that Virginia was wholly depend
ent on foreign capital, and contended that
the idea would be repudiated by the peo-
pie Of every section Of the State. They
oil relied upon their own industry and
fortitude to triumph over the difficulties in
which they were placed.
Mr.. TURNER estimated the capital of the
National Banks Of Virginia at 81. SOC, 900,
and their discounts al S5,000,000. Esti-
mating four per cent. additional inte-
rest upon this amount, and We find that

Tie Columbus (Ohio) Crisis says:
"Schofield, Satrap of Virginia, by the
grace of the Abolition caucus, has "or-
dercd' that the Virginia Legislature
need not meet this winter, as it would
be unnecessary while such gigantic
intellect as his controlled the destinics
OF the old commonwealth. The hybrid
convention of low whites and nggers,
led by Hunnicutt and manocuvred by.
SchoGeld, will be Sufficient to manage
Virginia affairs, and steal all that is left
of her rights, or property, and her liber-
ty. This is the substance of recent
correspondence with the satrap. While
it shows the insolence and meanness of
a Congressional satrap, it also demon
strates the utter failure of the Aboli-
ton scheme to govern the South
through the niggers The blacks are
q ridiculous failure as an clement OF
enlightened govemment,-the attempt
to bestow upon them the power to
control affairs has resulted in nothing
but dishonOr to the Abolition party
therefore Schofields military despotism
must be continued. This is the mean
ing of Schofield's course, and when in
terprcted it is sufficient to make even
an Abolitionist blush for his faction"
