buttons, adopted at a meeting of colored peo-
pie, held on Friday night last, at the African
Church in this city:

of every good citizen to give his aid to the
development of the resources of his native
State.
2. That we protest against the furnish
ing of transportation. at the expense of the
government, to remove labor from where it
is needed, to forward the interest of specula-
tors who come here and pay bonus Of from
$15 to $50 per head to runners, to induce

MEssRs EDIToRs :-In view of the wild
anarchy that exists throughout our State, is
it to be supposed that the Pell- Worth gov
eminent OF North Carolina connives at the
outrages that are being committed While
intimidation, robbery and murder rule the
hour, and the loyalty of our people proclaim
ed by our egotistically loyal Legislature, is it
not surprising that measures have not been
set on foot to check lawlessness and turn
aside the assassin's knife? Would it be out
of the line of duty, of the State govern
ment G Ito offer rewards for the detection
and apprehending of horse thieves, and thus
by advice of the old maxim "set thief to
catch thief" we might succeed in seeing
some of our scoundrel neighbors brought to
justice. In the meantime, would it not be
well, when suspected parties in neighbor-
hood become possessed of a horse or mule,
description of such might be forwarded and
advertised through your paper, without max
ing public the locality. and in case such ami
NAL had been stolen, the losing party might
learn his whereabouts on personal applica-
ton at your Office.
The secret societies referred to some time
ago in the Standard are, I am informed, now
in full blast and some of their modes of
operating are partially coming to light.

THE RECENT EARTHQUAKE IN ORE
GoN.-The San Francisco Bulletin
states that the following letter was
written from Fort Klamath, under date
ofJanuary Sth, 1867, 10 o'clock A. NJ,
and is reliable:
This morning, at daylight, we were
startled from our sleep by the precipi-
tate shock of an earthquake, Immediate
ly followed by noise as of distant
thunder But in a little while quiet
reigned, and every one was conversing
and laughing heartily at the singular
phenomenon but our countenances soon
underwent serious change, for it be-
gan to grow dark the whole heavens
were full of a very black smoke or
cloud !; the air had sulphurous smell,
and ashes Off brownish color fell as fast
as lever saw it snow. We had to use
candles in the mess-room. The most of
us went in to breakfast, but had only
got fairly into our seats when, horror
upon horror, the earth seemed rolling
like waves upon the ocean; every one
was thrown to the floor, only, on re-
gaining their feet, to be- placed in the
same position again, accompanied with
the rafting of dishes, the crashing of
window-glass, cracking of timbers of
buildings, and the screams of the fright.
ened. You could not imagine more
perfect chaos. Some ofu gained the
door, and such sight met our gaze as
was, probaly, never before beheld. The
tall pines around the fort seemed lashing
themselves into fury the wagons in
front of the stable were engaged in a
pitched battle; horses and cattle were
lying crouching upon the ground, utter
ing the most pitifnl means dogs were
bowling, and the unearthly cries of the
Klamath Indians camped near the fort
completed the scene. Weimagined we
were amidst the wreck Of matter and
the crush of worlds" The suffer-,
store was thrown about twenty feet
from its former position. There were
no lives lost, nor any serious accident
to any one, but there are quite mum

the buildings, all being log and franz
houses; but l do not think there is

A NEW YEARS STORY FOR You've
MEN.-As an incentive to save, and an
evidence of how rapidly capital, judici-
ously invested, will increase, we may
mention little incident that has just
come to our knowledge. A few days
ago the circle of active business men
was shocked by the announcement of
the sudden death of Edward G. Dales,
Esq, president ofthe Norristown rail
road company, and vice-president of the
Franklin Fire Insurance Company. In
1850, sixteen years ago, Mr.. Dale retir-
ed from the office of prothonotary of the
District Court of this city, with $4,000
as the net proceeds ofhis tenure in office,
and, as he at the time avowed, about
all of his earthly possessions. This sum
be placed in the hands Of Amos Phillips,
personal friend and shrewd manager
Of money, without written acknowl-
edgement, to be used as his own, and to
make return to him or to his heirs when
called on. The facts of this deposit.
thus made sixteen years ago, was known
lin Mr.. DIS lifetime only to the parties
Immediately connected with it, and Mr..
d. having died suddenly leaving no will
or other record of this particular invest
ment, from which he had never drawn
anything, and which had steadily in
creased, his heirs, son and daughter,
on Friday last, were not little surpris-
ed to receive from Mr.. Phillips, in first
class securities and cash, the handsome
sum of S5O,416. Thong h Mr. Dale had
subsequently made and saved since his
deposit of $4,000 with Mr.. Phillips in
1850, very handsome estate, these I'M
known securities passed over by Mr..
Phillips was perfect windfall. The
growth of the deposit was mainly in in
terest-the securities invested in being
entirely of a reliable character. At six
per cent, the sum would double in about
eleven years, making, say, $50, 900, and
in seven years since, about two-fifths
more would be added to tho $4,000,
making, without speculative ventures,
the sum paid over to the heirs. This
simple transaction demonstrates the i'm
portant fact that fifteen thousand dol
lars saved and invested at thirty years
of age is worth as much as sixty thou
sand at fifty two years. Thus let the
young remember the important fact of
beginning to lay up early.

Spontaneous Commissioned Man Burn

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 16.
A we'll authenticated case of spontaneous
combustion occurred in Columbus, forty
miles south of this city, yesterday morning.
Andrew Note, a German, very Incorporate
in his habits, was found dead in his shop,
his lips entirely burned away, leaving
CHASTITY hole, his tongue charred to crisp.
His nose was also burned, as if by fire COM
ing out of his nostrils, and his clothes were
still burning when found. No other part of
the body save the air passages was burned.
Physicians who examined the body pro-
nounce it clear case Of spontaneous COM
bustion. 1t is supposed that the fire was
communicated by attempting to light
cigar.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN PHoro.

knowledge of which has been gained
by MIR. Fassrtt during his stay in Eu

process for obviating the defect hither-
to unavoidable, of making light hair APP
pear black in the picture. The effect
OF this has been almost to spoil the re-
semblance. Mr.. Fassett is now able to
represent the hair of the sitter in very
nearly its natural color, which, with
his well known skill in other respects,
insures good picture where others so
often fall Chicago Tribune.

ton. the following resolution was

passed
Resolved, That, as body, we are
satisfied with the present Indiana Con-
ference lines, and are unhesitatingly
and unanimously opposed to the move
ment on foot to make but three Con-
ferences, instead of four. in the State.
AT the last session of the Annual
Conference, this district was cut down
to twelve works. The result is great
gain to the cause of Christ. The pre-
siding elder has been able to attend
his quarterly meetings without that
perplexity which annoyed him when
the district embraced fifteen works.
The people are pleased with the regu-
lar attendance of the elder As the
support of the presiding elder is not a
question of ability, but of willingness,
it is found much easier to raise the
same amount for this purpose on a
small than on a large district. Over
eight hundred have been received into
the Church this Conference year.
Rev. J.. j.. Stallard is closing up his
fourth year, beloved by all. and in all
things prosperous. His departure
from this field of labor will be greatly
regretted by pastors and people.

doubtless rally around the Bishop in
his efforts to lift the pecuniary en-
barassments that have arisen in con-
sequence Of the purchase and main
tainance of the Institution, as a
Church School for young ladies.
Too much praise cannot be accorded
to the Rev. Mr.. Martin, Mr.. S. s.
Early, aud the noble hearted gentle
men of Terre Haute, who have been
the means of securing this beautiful
and costly property for the Church !;
and the Diocese of Indiana owes it to
them to sustain it, both with. pupils,
and with such means as may be nec-
essary to retain it permanently in its
present capacity. $50 zs.
