quarterly Report for the
Pleasant Chapel Sab
DGb School,

TO me MODERATOR Minister, Dele
gates and Brethren in Council as
SemAed.
Dear Brahen:-It becomes my
duty to send to your deliborative
bodya report Of our Sabbath School
at Pleasant Chapel.
l feel my inability for so impor-
tant duty. | therefore, ask my
kind Brethren 10 not view mo with.
a critics eye, hut pass my inper-
fections by, for / am not accustomed
to write communications to so intel
ligent a body. But believing that
you will be prepared to forgive er-
ror and appreciate the purity of my
motives as the acting Secretary of
Pleasant Chapel Sunday School.
This school was organized March
28th, 1863, under the timely and
faithful labors of our minister, Rev.
A. B. Sellers. 1t is nothing more
than we should say of our minister,
that ho has proven himself to be the
right man in the right place.
The church is in peace and has
prospered under his ministry, and
he is loved by all the church, and
our prayer is that God will bless
him, and we take pleasure in rec
ommcpding. him to all. .n
1t is true our school apparently
commenced under rather inauspi-
cious circumstan oes, for unfortunate
ly we are divided in our preferen-
ces, for the time of holding the
school, and, by small majority the
time was fixed at 0 a. m, this
brought us in conflict with another
school adjoining us, which in a
measure weakened us; this with the
petty jealousies that usually attend
the Christian Union movement, had
a tendency to impair our strength.
Our opposers said that our school
would soon come to nought, in fact
many Schools would wane out
Notwithstanding the cry of persc.
cution, under tho guidance of
faithful Pastor, good Spperintep-
dent and competent Teachers we
have fourished; and thank God,
our school takes rank with her sis.
ter schools in point of numbers and
in interest; and we feel that our
difficulties are growing beautifully
less by degrees, The charity of
our teaching with tho Christian de-
pertinent Of our members COM
mands the fraternal esteem of SUR
rounding christian laborers. |
We are glad to state that few
earnest and Jealous Sabbath School
men have commenced a work in
our county to unite all denomina-
tions in the good cause of Sabbath
Schools, With them we heartily
join issues, and expect to be in the
front rank Of the grand army that
is soon to move forward in ono solid
phalanx against the enemy.
The following is an imperfect re-
port Of the LIST quarter Of our school

Infamous DeviI,ry or clayton. Brigand..

Memphis, January TO-
Last night nine militia men from the force
az Marion, Arkansas, went 10 the house of
widow lady, whose name is withheld ut the
request of numerous relatives, and outraged
her three daughters, aged l6, Is and 90, after
helping themselves TO what things they want
cd. Information of the affair Was given TO
col. Watson commanding the militia, who
this afternoon succeeded in arresting all the
guilty parties. The greatest excitement
exists at Marion, and but for the promise OF
col. Watson that the villains shall have stern
justice melted out TO them, doubtless the COM
munity now would be in arms.
Another part also went TO the house of
Jefferson Reeves, near the same place, and
outraged his wife. They went then to the
house of mr.. :. KepsOn, county clerk, and
maltreated mrs. Watson, and an elderly lady
from New York living with him. This
party has not been arrested ms yet.

now be dipped in and taken out repeatedly
until il becomes cool enough 10 allow them
20 remain. Let the feet soak until the water
begins 10 feel cool 20 the hand, then take
them out and allow them to get dry without
wiping them. The feet should be washed in
warm water before using the bath. The
mixture may be kept in jug or bottle where
IL will not freeze and can be used
repeatedly for an indefinite length Of time.
As rule, one application is sufhciet for the
time being; If not, then il is best 10 repeat il
after twenty-four hours intervening, Al
though not a sure preventive of future attacks
Of the trouble when exposed to the causes
