! Bishop Dogget of the Episcopal Methodist
Church, preached in the Methodist Church Of this
place, on Sunday last, both morning and evening.
In the morning he preached the funeral sermon
of Mrs. Lucy ]. Clarke late the wife of Rev. John
L. Clarke pastor Of the g. M. Church Of this place.
His text was, eff man die, shall he live again ~
to be found in the 18th verse of the 18th Chapter
of Job. This interesting question was handled
in mastery manner, and we give expression to
the general sentiment of all who heard him, when
we say it was an intellectual effort of great pow
err. At the conclusion of his sermon, he gave q
glowing account of the many virtues and truly
Christian life of the esimabie Mrs. Clarke. No
words are too full Of meaning to describe the re-
firing modesty and loving kindness Of the lamen-
ted lady whose funeral Grafton he preached.
In the evening his discourse was upon the SUBJ
ject 'os Paursimprsonmenta and his appearance be-
fore Felix on his preliminary trial, and then be-
fore Festus and Agrippa His description of Paul 8
bearing on those occasions, and the r6wer-self-
consciousness that he was right-gaye him, was
piece of pulpit eloquence rarely cqualled. For
more than an hour he kept his audience in breath
less attention and constantly increasing interest
And at its conclusion all felt better for having
heard mastery description of the triumph of
real Christianity. saS

to an alarming extent A week or two silee he
gravely declared that Harrison burg-the little
county seat of Rockingham, was destined to be the
largest town Of the great Valley Of Virginia Well
who would ever have thought it !! Why, my dear
Sir, have you forgotten that Staunton is more than
three times as large as Harrisonburg, and posses
SEES erery element Of an inland city, while, unfor
tunately, sister town possesses none of these
advantages. She has not even water-powcr
enough to turn grist mill Of two burrs more than
six months in a year, and never be anything
but s0ay station on an unimportant railroad
On the other hand Staunton is q seat Of learning,
and possesses water-power to a large extent, and
is soon to be centre of railroad travel. Besides
her public buildings attraction that will
never cease to interest all portions of the State
and draw the attention of strangers Try again,
Harvey, you may get nearer the truth next time
