Rev. Dr. Patton, editor of the Chicago Advance, the new Congregational organ, thus pleasantly alludes to Governor Flaw ley, Tn the course of an article on the Chi cago Conyention:-
 "How could any one doubt the overrul- ing providence of God, or fail to be thank full for His blessing upon the cause of free dom and union? Joyfully yet solemnly did this thought come home to us personally, when the Convention placed in the Chair Ex- Governor Hawley of Connecticut, who made an admirable presiding officer. The
 wings of memory carry us back twenty
 years to our youthful pastorate in Hart
 ford, and the anti-slaverY struggles in
 church and state then in progress; to the time when we preached from the pulpit, and MT. Hawley responded from the choir; when in his office we talked over the pros poets of our little despised '' liberty party. 5 or went forth to attend it's meetings. The young, ambitious lawyers of the city lsu9h- ed at their friend ''Joe'' for linking his fortunes to such a hopeless and fanatical minority; just as the old ecclesiastics bit. sied us, his pastor, for similar follyl The Ftimes have changed.

1t still increased and grew in intensity,
threatening to level all before it. Fences
were scattered over fields and roads. chin
neys were blown down, signs were carried
away, and a general scene of devastation
was left bekind. But the main fury of the
storm in this village appears to have been
concentrated on the tall steeple of the
Primitiye Methodist church, which fell
with q tremendous crash, breaking it into
a thousand fragments. 1t fell from the
very foundation, tearing with it a great
part of the frent of the church, and so
rscking the entire frame and loosening
the timbers that one section of the ceiling
the entire width of the church, fell with
the heavy joice and timbers, breaking the
psws and floor. The new bell weighing

by which it was swung was broken Off.
The damage to the building is Ivariously
estimated at from 81 600 to 81 500.
The building was an ornament to cur
