three O'Clock, and soon as he had taken his de-

room, went out and returned In few minutes. Mr.
Wells the patient, then told the attendant that he
might lie down TO sleep, and II he (Mr. Wes) needed
any assistance he would arouse him. The attendant
dropped into dOze, and was shortly afterwards
awakened by noise, and at once asked Mr. Wells
las he supposed) n he required anything. Hearing
no response he spoke again, and failing to get re-
bedside. He was surprised to ind that the patient
had left and the bed was empty. The bed clothes
sin warm. The attendant at once searched
every room In the house without success but
going down stairs found the front door ajar. He
concluded that Mr.. Wells had gone out that way TO
look about and would return by the back door to his
room. Becoming anxious concerning his charge he
went out anu bcdTCneu tHe OutDulluing3 and then
went to the pond, some i've hundred yards distant
TO look for him, but found no traces Of him. He
then returned past the house and went to the
foundry and the railroad depot without discovering
his patient and on going to the house again he gave
the alarm, arousng the occupants or the house and
the people OF the village. The foundry bell was rung
and search commenced In earnest This
about daybreak on Friday morning, and up to noon
yesterday no clue to the missing man had been OBJ

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

The Good Work Goes Bravely On.
We are in receipt Of gratifying intelligence from
all parts OF the country relative to the progress OF
christianity. An impulse has also been given to Ju-
daism and we have to record the dedication Of seve
raj splendid synagogues particularly that Of Temple
Emmanuel on Fifth avenue, in this city; that Of
Adas Israel, in Louisville and others. There seems
to exist an actual rivalry between the different pous
sects to which shall erect the most gorgeous ed
ices In which to honor and worship the Creator.
The troubles in the Protestant Episcopal Church and
the schismaic bearings Of of the questions at
ISSUE it is true not calculated to strengthen the
Protestant branch Of the great Christian family but
what ia lost there Is gained by the Catholic Church,
or falling there, the portals Of the Americanized
Hebrew temples are open to those who wish to par
tcipate In the exercises OF the old style religion Of
Israel, adapted to this age Of progress. Besides
these open to those who seek salvation there
are many Others including that by way Of Salt Lake
City, which can be taken by those who think they
can stand the pressure Of the sisterhood across
the plains to the banks of the river Jor-
dan. Speaking Of church edifces, how
ever, the largest numbers Of the devout have
during the past few weeks been worshipping in tenn
pies grander than those erected by human hands.
We mean those of our Christian fellow citizens who
have gathered themselves together in immense
camp meetings. and, taking the velvet carpet Of
nature to knee upon, with the tall trees as the pill
lars and the vault Of heaven as the dome of their
sanctuary, have avowed their transgressions and
prayed for divine clemency and forgiveness. Here
was pure and undened religion, and no doubt the
incense that arose therefrom sweet and CRATE
full to the great Above II It had arisen from the
gilded affairs Of the stained glass fashionable re-
ligious palaces Of the opuent and worldly minded
among u.s.
The seeds Of grace, fruitful Of a blessed harvest,
have lately been planted in such ungodly localities
as Johnny Aliens and Tommy (alias Shanghae)
Hadden's dance houses, and in what is profanely
called Kit Burns' cockpit in q section Of
the city reeking in wickedness and uncleanliness,
termed Water street. As the unfortunate creatures
who hive in these dens Of pollution are far down in
the cockpit of perdtion, 1t will require but slight
effort to send them headlong into the lake Of ever
burning sulphur-ten times hotter than any Of
brother Shanghae's red hot tanglefoot-and after q
souse two therein their souls may be restored to
something like human Wilderness. Then let them be
bleacned on q bed Of repentance and abstinence
from whlskey for six months and the work Of grace
may be complete In order to do this successfully
will be necessary to raise small amount OF stamps,
ana those who feel so inclined may to-day drop few
dimes into the contribution boxes at either OF the
above hitherto well known resorts Of the sinful and
vicious
