find in II. Kings, iv. chap, verse s.
And he passed on to Shunem."
Take to heart the lesson you text
teaches, and when temptations try you
and evils wait to ensnare you, "pass on

When you see men of wrath fighting
and breaking heads and sticks, and ours

the text, and pass on to Shun'em."
And oh! my hearers, If your should
come into our little town and behold a
row of nice little offices, with tin signs
on the doors of each, and hear men talk
inC Of attachments without affections,
and representations without quiet-ah-
and seize-yOurs and never theirs-ah,
it will be to your profit t. mind the
words Of the prophet, and "pass on to

And if you go round where the mer-
chants are-ah-and they rush out to
shake hands with you, aud are especial
ly anxious to learn the condition ofyour
wite's health and the children's, and the
worms and the crops, and offer to sell

lower than their cost on account Oftheir

DIDN'T SMUGGLE.-It gives us plea.
sure to notice that Mr.. l.. o. Thompson
has been acquitted by the United States
Court for the Northern District of New
York, upon the charge of smuggling.
Mr. Thompson has been for many years
in the employ Of the Vermont Central
r. r. Company, ia charge of the draw
bridge at Rouse's Point, and it is evident
that some enemies of his residing at
Rouse's Point, had borrowed the L.

elected during the trial to create even a
suspicion.

Refeas.. Of Bliss aMd Msster.u0,,

The Navy Department i in receipt of
dispatches in detail relative to the sur
render of Bliss and Masterman by the
Paraguayan authorities. On the 3rd of
December Rear Admiral Davis, in his
flag shipanchOred under the Paraguayan
battery at Augostura, and Immediately
communicated with Lopez, whose head
quarters were six or seven miles in the
interior. Lieut.. Commander kirkland,
the bearer of the message, returned with
an answer that Lopez desired to confer
with the Admiral in person, and for
that purpose would come down to the
river bank. Lopez appeared at the
lower battery, and an interview of three
hours duration was had with the Adj
miral. All the points bearing upon the
matter was discussed. The manners of
Lopez were cOnciliatory, courteous and
frank, while he continued to declare
from time to time his intention to ac-
cede to the request for the delivery on
board the United States vessels of
MessrS. Bliss an / Masterman. Some
correspondence ensued on the subse-
quent days, and on the night of the 10th
December, ut II o'clock, Messrs. Bliss
and Malterman were brought to the
flag ship in native canoe. These per-
sons having been delivered to the United
States, Gen. Mcmahon made prepara-
tons to land on the subsequent day and
present his credentials, but the battle of
that day prevented it. He, however,
landed on the 18th, and was received at
the landing by several officers of Presi-
dent LOpeZ's staff, and mounting his
horse proceeded directly to Lopez's
headquarters.

gram from Memphis says that the
negro who recently eloped with the
white daughter of his employer, was
taken from the Sheriff's custody by the
KukluX Khan. A rope was put around
his neck, by which he was lifted few
inches from the ground. TurpentiLe
was poured upon him and torch was
applied. The victim was enveloped in
flames. The hempen rope was eaten in
two, and the negro, half roasted, al
lowed for moment to escape, was
shot to death rs he ran.
