OF the meeting, there was marked attextion
given to the preached word. We would
have been glad for the Editor Of the RgpuBLi-
CAN to have been an eye witness, and enjoyed
the meeting perhaps his mind would have
been changed. The sexton informs us that as
far as powder and wood were Concerned
about the stove (as stated by the RErUBLIcAs)

Yours truly,

An article in our issue of March 1, was the
provoking of the above We had occasion
about that time 10 go to the city and engaged
friend to clip the outside for US For want
OF something better, he inserted on the fourth
page an article concerning the attempted
blowing up of a Methodist meeting during
the progress # a revival at Doiys Greek, Ken

A Child CHARMED BY A SNAKE.-A
woman named Somers, residing in Wor.
ccster, Pennsylvania, went into the Or
chard to gather some fruit, and left her
little babe, less than a year old, sitting
upon the ground. She soon passed. out
of sight of the child, but hearing his
voice cooling and laughing, she gave
herself no uneasiness. Suddenly the
sounds ceased, and she stepped around
to him, %supposing him asleep. But, to
her horror, she saw him perfectly mo-
tionless, his lips parted, and his eyes
fixed upon an enormous rattlesnake that
was approaching him by almost imper-
ceptible motions. She looked in vain
for some stick or stone to kill the mon
strous reptile, then quick as thought
sprang towards it, overturning the pan
which she had in her hand so as to eff
fectually cover its body, got upon 1t and
screamed for help. Tho covering of the
snake broke tho spell upon the child,
Its little body swayed to and fro, and it
quickly cropt toward the heroic mother.
In q few minutes friends came to her re-
lief, and the cause of her terror was
dispatched.

CHINESE New YEAR.-The Chinese
New Year will, we understand, COM

give orders for new clothes around and

of the tailors on | street has played II
pretty sharp on the Celestials this year.
He would mako Thorn a dress cont for
the occasion costing twenty-eight dol
lars each, and exhibited the exquisite
fabric from which tho garment would
be manufactured, but he would not cut
the cloth unless be was paid in advance.
They paid in advance, and upon calling
for the garment within a day or two,
finding the tailor shop closed, learned
to their disgust that tho knight of the
Chinese goose had absquatulated, and
had not even paid for the beautiful
goods from which the fancy habilimonts
were to have been fabricated. Here, Of

A GUY FAwKEs PLoT IN KENTUCKY
The War Department has received q let
ter from Breckenridge county, Kentucky,
giving an account Of q most horrible
outrage attempted upon the inmates
and friends of one of the largest colored
schools in that county. 1t appears that
a teacher proposed to have a concert
and exhibition on Christmas Eve. She
was warned that it could not be permit
ted, but refused to believe that the
rebels would carry their threats into
execution, and went on with her prepar-
atoms. The exhibition was finally held
in one of the colorcd churches, which
was packed with the friends Of tho
school and children. Within q few
minutes aftor the exercises closed, but
not until the people had left, the church
was blown to pieces by the explosion Of
a keg Of powder that had been placed
under the. platform on which the chill
drcn were seated, and probably touched
off with o slow match. An explosion
during the exhibition would probably
have destroyed the entire audience

GLASS HoUsEs.-Slanders on ladies
are becoming fearfully prevalent. An.
thony Trollope has started a now maya.
zine, the St. Paul's, which will certainly
prove a failure if it publishes many more
such horrible fbs as this, which we
copy from its pages:
Glass houses are not regarded as very
formidable defences by women, especi-
| ally those reared by their own sex.
The other day we were admiring n lady's
dress in the presence Of another lady,
and VIC marveled much at its beautiful
color. "You silly goose" said our fair
friend, "can't you see that the silk has
been dyed and turned? 1t would serve
men almost right if women ceased the
attempt to dress WELL" We were
~silenced, but could not help thinking
that possibly some men would have no
| objection at all to be "scrved quite
right" Nothing can we'll exceed q
woman's ~dexterity in smashing her
neighbours glass house, and the whole
proceeding is a marvellous exhibition
of ingenuity. Provided with the small
est pebble, but of the highest polish,
she will approach her poor sister, and,
after much fond p~alaver and kissing Of
cheeks, she will retire to a short dis
lance. Then, watching her opportunity,
crash she sends the little missile with
the force and whiz of bullet. Awhile
she watches the agony Of her PROSTATE
enemy, and then approaches with the
sweetest of smiles to offer her pity and
tears. Great God! is 1t possible that
such loneliness and tenderness a at
times be allied to a cruelty in the re-
fnement of which no wild animal can
surpass tho mortal angel?

Fork of the American river, for the old
pioneer, Gen. John A. Suffer, became
the accidental ~discoyerer Of tho golden

Grating the development, Advancement
