EXCITEMENT AT THE LANDING.-1es-
terday about feur o'clock p. NJ, rs We
were walking up the levee, we saw a
great multitude at the landing, and the
steamer William Butler, lying at the
wharf. was literally covered with hui
man beings. We fastened to the spot,
and soon learned that the Elder of the
Baptist Association was absut to 6ap-
TIE or immerse five individuals in the
Ohio river, thus installing them into
full membership with the Association
There were four young men and one
Young woman who were to be baptized.
We did not learn their names
nor the name of the Elder who officiat-
ed. He took his converts into the
stream to about the depth of three and
half feet, and near the stern of the
William Butler. So many had crowded
i on the Butler that it was almost impos-
sible for another one to get on her.
Consequently many got upon the
wheel. Presently the wheel gave indi-
cations of making revolution, but the
frightened bipeds soon evacuated their
position. After the lbaptizing was over
the crowd dispersed.
