SHOOTING AFFRAY AT HAMPTON, N. Y,
A shooting ARRAY occurred at Hampton
Corners, n Y, on Tuesday evening last,
by which man named VIM. Koran lost
his life. The circumstances connected
with the case as near as we can learr
them are as follows: 1t appears that
Richard McGraw, who we are informed
is quiet and inofensive citizen, was
proceeding to his home at a seasonable
hour in the evening, and when near
Woods store was attacked by Koran and
two companions, who were somewhat in
toxicated, and appeared determined to
maltreat him. He broke away from the
party and ran into the store of Mr.
Woods, locking the door after him ant
borrowing pistol from the proprietor
Koran and his companions soon mad,
their appearance at the door, and upor
being denied admission, forced an en-
trance, when McGraw took refuge behind
the counter and warned the intruder
not to approach him else he would, kill
them but to no purpose, as Koran, who
is described as powerful man, reached
over the counter and seized him by the
throat, partially dragging him across
the counter into the main portion of the
room, when McGraw, true to his prom.
Use, drew the pistol and fred at his ad.

bystanders interfered did he relin-
quish his vice-like grasp on the throat

OF the diocese OF PtItsburEs
My Dear Breth en-: - Our Diocesan missionary
work is progressing very satisfactorily. Most oil
the points where missionaries are needed, and
well supplied with Jealous and successful laboreIs.
Some such points are waiting till the right men can
be lOund, who can live on the very moderate sup
port to be derived from the local and the
Diocesan aia. AS soon as such men can be found,
viii supply these yet vacant places. The years
report OF Diocesan missionary work will justify all
the promises made and the hopes excited at our
Convention III May last.
But we need more help now from the various
congregations of the Diocese. Many have sent in
their offerings. Some. have not yet given any aid
AL congregations ought to do this regularly. Even
the smallest churches can help in this work. The
whole amountS thus far received is liberal, and
justfes the plans and expenditures of the Diocesan
Board. These plans require now the prompt ard
ample collections which must repenish the treasury
constantly. The salaries Of the missionaries are
paid quarterly in advance The treasurer has now
in hand $500 He needs 5000 more, by the LIST OF
February, in order to make the payments due on
that cay. Be will then need $1,000 more by the lst
Of May, to make the payments then becoming due
These needs could, probably best be met by cOllec-
tons in every church and Congregation made once
in every three months.
l. therefore, call on every rector or minister, and
on every congregation, to make or repeat such
