MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.


When the Congregational Associa-
ton of Michigan received the news
that Grant and Colfax had been nomi-
mated, the regular exercises were sus-
pended, and the standard doxology
of the Church was sung amid the
greatest enthusiasm.
The Vincennes TINES has it from
good authority that the Catholics de-
sign putting p another Church edi
fee in that town during the COM
ing Summer. By the recent death
of a gentleman residing in Boston, a
large amount of money was bequeath-
ed to the Catholic Church of Vim
cennes, by which the Bishop is en-
abled to erect an additional Church.
Rev. Joseph Williams, a colored
delegate from Georgia, by request,
addressed the Assembly of the Pres
byterian Church %. s. at Albany,
this week. He is an old man, and
has been preacher for thirty years
among his fellow slaves. He urged
unity of action and intercourse among
the ministry Of both races, and plead
ed for aid from the North. He de-
Tended his race against the imputa-
ton of Incidence and dishonesty. His
speech evinced talent, and was warm
ly applauded.
Rev Geo Junkin, ID. of Phila-
delphia, died at the residence of his
son, in that city, on Wednesday last.
DIR. Junkin has been identified with
the history of the Presbyterian

UNCOMFORTABLE IN CHURCH. -
Archbishop :Whately related the
following anecdote: During his min
istry at Halesworth, one of his parish
toner's told him that he thought " a
person should not go TO church to be
made uncomfortable. Whately re-
piled that he thought so, too; but
$ whether it should be the sermon or
the mans life that should be altered,
so as to avoid the discomfort, must /
depend on whether the doctrine was
right or wrong"
CONNECTED with the Protestant
Episcopal City Mission Society In
New York City, are one hundred men

voluntary service IN visiting the hos
pitfalls, prisons, and asylams of the
city, and in making calls from house

more help in their labor of Christian
love and charity.

rhe Feast of weeks.

This festival commenced on Tues
day evening, in accordance with the
Divine mandate. Numbers XVIII,
%. =" On the day of the first fruits,
when you bring new meat offering
unto the Lord, after your weeks are
out, shall yehave a holy conVocation;
no servile work shall We do" Refer
ring to this festival, the Je,cish Mes
sen0er says: The Feast of Weeks has
an additional claim on our graft
tude, for it was the period when Israel
became the recipients Of the Deca-
logue, when God revealed Himself to
myriads of our forefathers and de-
clared his unity, and the Divine
word uttered a sentence which ever
aniInates the hearts of Israelites. " To
have no other God, to serve Him and
no one else" The festival has every
claim on us; 1t calls upon US by the
voice of revelation, by the pages of
our history, to remember the law of
Moses, to cherish the lessons 1t
teaches, and TO hold fast to its princi-
pies; and where, on Gods earth, we
ask, can we be better, Israelites, than
on these SHORES mere there is no
one to fetter our souls, to prevent US
from serving our Creator according to
the dictates of our conscience; but
we can boldly proclaim in heavens
daylight that we believe in one God
and no other, that the law originally
given US has never been changed, and
that the mission delegated to US can
be executed without kindrance.

BAPTIST. - The Anniversary Con-
vention Of the Baptists, North and
South, have shaken hands, in cordial
brotherly love and fellowship, bury
ing the unfortunate differences Of
opinion engendered by the war and
slavery in the grave Of the rebellion,
and agreeing henceforth TO walk to-
gether in love, neither asking or max
ing any concession as to past political
or national difficulties. This is as it
should be. Once. on this platform,
time and free intercourse and frater-
nal communion will solve all Difficult
ties and heal all wounds.
The Missionary Union, represent
ing the foreign mission interest of the
Baptists in the Northern States, has
expended during the past year more
than one quarter Of a million of dol
lars, and the Home Missionary Society
about the same amount. This. GER
taInly indicates prosperity in both
these great branches Of Christian
labor.

The New York Tribune of May 1st
says: " An Italian paper, the E1ans-
inatori, recently declared. in passage
which has been widely copied, that
the Roman Court expected soon to
control the American Republic, and
the writer added: The populous CT. y
of New York even now, in fact, is
governed by the Roman Court,
through the cunning of the Papal
Hierarchy. and their universal sub
lection of religious interests to those
which are politico-ecclesiastical.'
Taken in correction, the two items
above are suggestive. New York
may as well hold a Mass meeting.

The hrst ~ nj Sunday has often
been called the Girtk- day Of the
Christian Church. For, although the
Saviour had triumphed over death,
had proved Himself Son OF God, with
power, by the resurrection from the
dead, and had remained forty days
on earth with His Disciples, speak
ing of the things pertaining to the
kingdom Of Heaven still, the
coming Of the Holy Ghost, in new
form and with augmented power, was
the seal from the Most High, which
certified all the whole Gospel to be
from God. it proved the risen Jesus
to be also the glorifed Jesus; and so
inspired the Church with a moral
power and courage which nothing
else could have given" In fact, we
find in Acts II. that the Church did
not assert or exercise her organized
powers until after this gift of the
the Holy Ghost.
Thus Whjt-.Sua1ay stands as one
of the three great commemorative
festivals Of the Christian Church.
The English name Whit-Sunday,
says Bishop Coke, is said by some
to be properly Wit-Sunday, cit being
the old English for wisdom, and the
comforter being the Spirit of Wis
DOM 1t is more common to explain
the term by reference to the white
raiment which used to be worn on
this day." The same writer further
observes: 1t must be noted that the
argument for the Christian Sabbath
cannot be separated from the argu-
ment for Easter and Whit Sunday. If
the Lord hallowed the first day of the
week, so also, He hallowed these feasts
Passover and PentecosD, by making
them the occasion of the Resurrec-
ton and the coming of the Comforter.
The article on Whit-Sunday in
the May number of Harper's, contains
an interesting history and many curl
Gus features connected with this festi-
val.

~A daring outrage and robbery was
perpetrated, ON the night of Sunday, the
18th instant, at the residence of Mrs.
Martha Mason, near Budds Ferry, in the
Sd election district of this county. 1t
seems that about dark on the night in
question two negroes-Jonah Day and
Butler, both looked upon as notori-
ously bad characters the house
Of Mrs: Mason, an aged and highly-re.
spected lady, rushed upon, seized and
choked her until she became insensible.
and then proceeded to search the premises
for valuables. They succeeded in finding
about 1924 in greenbacks. a valuable gold
watch. a double bsrreled gun and some
other articles with which they Immediate
iy .decamped. As soon as information of
this outrage was received, Constable T.
B, Delozier with party, started in pur-
suit and succeeded in arrestiug Day Oh
Monday night in a negro cabin near the
''Trappe." in the lower section of the dis
trict. The gun was found in the cabin,
and the watch and about Sc in money
upon the person Of Day. Later. on the
same night, Butler was also arrested. =
Both are now in Jail. As they were leav-
ing the house. after committing the rob
berry, seeing that Mrs. Mason, who had
been left lying on the floor. was still alive,
one Of them hurled brick at her. which
fortunately missed its mark. We hope
such punishment will be dealt out to these
misereants as will be a warning in the
future to all of this class. .,,i,a: --5i

During the past six months, or more, he
had been complaining of an uneasiness
and oppression about his chest, which he
attributed to indigestion, but he had not
apprehenaed any serious result from it
At times. when exerting himself, he suf-
fered from shortness of breath aud pain in
the region of the heart, but since leaving

was standing in the corridor of the second
floor at the hotel, conversing with the
Bishop of Georgia about a sermon that
the latter recently preached; Col. Will

sympathy. The remains were immediate
ly taken to Georgia.
