To-day has. been an exceedingly in

istered in the First Church this, after

Church. - = 't7F 20 i-th 'sitv9 10 5soi@- -as'
The church, was crowded, many be-
ing unable to obtain seats at all. Pres
ident FinHey was unable to be present
The sacrament was administered by
Professor Morgan assisted. by. presi-
dent Fairchild and Professor Eliis, of
the aSecond.Church.. One hundred and
six new members were admitted to the
church, among whom. were manR7husi-
mesa men with their wives, who have
heretofore held themselves ba b. aloof
from the religious influences of the
place. It has been ID a characteristic
feature OF the revival that while it has
reached all classes, it has been peclI-
liarly effective among the business men
and their prayer meetings, held three
evenings in the week, are attended with
great spiritual feeling and many. con-
versions.
While we express our gratitude for
the great work that has been wrought,
we do not think that it has vet attain
ed it's climax, and hope it VIII not do
SO until it has reached and subdued ev-
cry heart Christians seem very. earn
est in prayer and labor Those who
have no hope in Christ are soon melted
and won, if they can be induced to put
themselves, in the way to receive the

A Terfifiic cINalI--WoaderfuI Escape
Mr. Lester, the expert. .gyiihfinast and
ocrobat, one Of the favorite members
Of the. Dick Sands Variety Troupe,
varied his trapeze performance, last
night, at the Opera House, by falling
from the ceiling to the'foor--a distance
Of about thirty five feet. =.
The trapeze hung from, the ceiling
directly over the orchestra seats, in
front Of thes,stage.;3: The performance
had proceeded to the point where the
performer falls head, down.. catching
the ropes with his feet. Some disar-
rangement made the semblance Of a
fall, SO often practiced to .startle the
audiance, a.real one, and those who q
moment before were applauding, closed
their eyes in terror as the man fell,
head first, toward the floor. The ac7
|erobat was undoubtedly the ooolest1nan
in the house, and when his head had
almost reached the foot-l lights, he, by
an extraordinary efoM, threw his feet
downward and struck firmly upon his
feet on the floor in front of the orches-
ira, climbed upou the stage and limped
behind the scenes. - .s...~
For a-time there was intense excite
ment, which quieted down when it was
learned that Mr.. Lester''s seyerest in
jury was a sprained ankle, The fall
was terrific one, and the escape sim
ply wonde. ful. He declared last night
that he would be ready for duty again
to nights. 10 oaJ3adll. 80 -.

had no difficulty in climbing into it;
and once there l climbed up into the

"Thick as the foliage of the tree was,
it formed but poor shield against the

chilled, that l should certainly have de-

for the high lands but for two reasons;
the first of which was that / can not

sudden freshets take place, to look after
such stray creatures as may have been
washed down from the settlements and
sent adrift in the flood. The rain was
abating now. and on looking down to
see how high up my tree the water had
reached, noticed that it was pouring
in at q large knot-hole in the hollow
trunk, which hole was at distance of
about twelve feet from the ground, and
nearly as far below where ] was sitting.

At the fall pruning the four canes when

stumps are reduced to about an lnch.
During the fifth season the new canes

October 2Sth, 1867.
Editor of the Register:
SIR: Now that the election is over, /
wish to pen few facts, as they occur
red in the Radical party during the last
two months, in order to carry out the
nefarious, and selfish aims and purposes
OF small and contemplate clique that
has existed in this (Marion) county.
During a month previous to the Radical
Convention to nominate for the Legis-
lature &C., a series of articles appeared
in q little sheet called the Fairmont Te-
dette, edited and published by one John
n. Boyd, of whom you are aware; there
fore, more notice of him is unnecessary.
Said articles urged the necessity of NOM
mating a man of talent, and education
and that such qualifications were vested
in DR.. D. B. Dorsey.
This man Dorsey turned up here
about the close of the war, at the in
stance of one or twopoliticians,t to preach
in one of our churches. AS he was more
of political preacher, than n minister
of the Gospel, he suited them very
we'll; but, the better disposed part of his
congregation sooH became disgusted
with his course and would not sustain
him, so that the few that adhered
to him, were the more
heavily taxed pay him. This became
n burden to his lambs, so that they re-
fused to sustain him. He taught school
occasionally, but this did not work well.
He then took it into his head to go to
Congress, wrote for the J'edette and made
stump speeches ofa highly intlammatory
character, but failed to receive the
nomination. His next effort was to be
elected as State Superintendent of Free
Schools, then for Professorship jim the
Agricultural College at Morgantown.
He lately made application for the prin-
cipalship of the common school, of this
town; lastly he took step downward
and laid the wires for seat in the Leg
islature. In this last as i'll everything
else, he has most sigually failed, and,
that after resorting to schemes ola very
questionable character. When it was
discovered that Mr.. Ben. Fleming, the
Conservative candidate, was likely to be
elected, the leaders If the Radical par
ty, in order to bring their tool Dorsey
in second best, dropped their other
nominee, Geo. w. Martin, and voted for
Dorsey only. Fearing they might yet
fail, they issued a large fumber of
bogus tickets. One was the white mans
and another was the working mems,
and third was something else. All
bore the name of Clemens, and other
prominent Democrats i'll this county.
These tickets were distributed clandes s..
timely, the night before and on the
morning of the election, throughout the
county, but all to no effect. The thing
would not take; Fleming and Martin
have been elected, by the Democrats
and Consery yatives. Radicalism is do ON
ed to an infamous death, Marion is
redeemed in part, and Democracy
is once more triumphant. The people
are again thinking and acting for them
selves.
Mr.. Editor make these statements to
show you the kind of stuff the Radical
party is made of in this county.
