AMUSING EXCHANGE OF PULpws. The
Railway IN. j. Advocate Of July 80 relates
the following incident:
''The first Baptist and the FIRST Methodist
churches in Railway had each arranged to have
their puIpits supplied by q clergyman named
Miller, who was to be found at the railroad
depot at Elizabeth on Sunday morning, and
conveyed hence In q carriage At the appoln-
ted time the Methodist vehicle drove up to tic
depot, and the driver seeing gentleman ii
black promcnading On The platform, accostcG
him, found his name was miller, told him his
Grand, and finally t2ok hin on board and to
Railway, where ne preached Tor the Metho-
dists, though he is 4 B.ptist preacher. The
Baptists soon after found another gen tcman Of
the name of Miller also walking ty the depot,
and took MIN to their church in Railway, where
he gave them good sermon. Both parties
were pleased, which is more than can usually
be said in the case Of double mistake, and all
enjoyed the joke when it was known how much
their sectarignism had been in danger without
receiving any actual damage.

A REMARKABLE RECoVERY.-Just before
the Richmond battles, Col. Strange sent his
private baggage, with that of the 10Th Regl-
ment, to Richmond, and while there the Colo
nel's baggage was broken open and robbed OF
his watch and other valunblcs
A few days ago gold watch was brought by
a colorcd man to Mr. Kamcrer, which he lden:
tilted as one which he had once before repaired
for Col. Strange Notice was given to those
interested, and the matter investigated before
Lieut.. Townc, Of the Frcedmen's Bureau; and
it being proved to his satisfaction that the
watch was that of Col. Strange, it was handed
over to Mr.. Tutwilcr his executor. The watch
was brought to Mr.. Kamerer by Ned GiSylns, a
colored carpenter in the neighborhood Of good
repute, having been given to him by coIorcd
girl named Georgianna Brown, who said it had
been given to her during the war, to keep Tor
him, by colored man whom she named.
The whole thing is still involved in mystery,
and it is doubtful if it ever will be found out
who stole the watch. Charlottesville Chron.
