WEST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.-Thls new and
vigorous church is rapidly gathering strength
On Sunday 30 persons were admitted to MEM
bership, 40 of whom were admitted on certifi-
cate and 10 on profession of faith. Three adj
mitted on certificate were from six different
churches, one of them coming from a church in
Valparaiso, South America, and one from
Washington. The extra meeting will be con-
tinued on the usual evenings this week, and
Friday evening will be devoted to prayer for the
Roman Catholic Church. The congregation
is considering the subject of building a church
ediiice. Plans have been submitted by several
architects, two of them being from Thomas
Dixon, Of Baltimore, the architect of Grace
Church, one of which has proved quite satisfac-
tory to many of the congregation. The object
sought is to procure a building which shall not
be too expensive, but shall still be a handsome
structure. The success of the church is largely
attributed to the zeal and untiring energy Of
the Rev. George H. Smyth, who is also quite
popular as a preacher, the simplicity and clear
ness of his discourse being highly appreciated
by his congregation.-WH Wilmington (Del.) Commer-

her horse, which was hitched to the fence
with rope halter, and having kind of
slip moose on the end, through which
she put her hand for the purpose of hold
ing the horse while putting on the bride
Not holding his head high enough, she
gave the horse slap. which caused him
to raise his head suddenly, thus tighten
ing the rope around the wrist of Mrs
Capp. At the same time, something oc
cnrred to frighten him, and he started
on on run, dragging the unfortunate
lady with him for nearly half mile,
through young vineyard and a corn
field, to gate, where he stopped, it being
necessary to pass through it to get to the
main road. When found by her brother
ln-law and another man, Mrs. Camp was
dead, her neck broken, and her head and
body terribly bruised and cut, her clothes
nearly oil torn from her body, her long
and beautiful hair completely matted
with cookie burs, weeds, &c. Mrs. Cnpp

Late last nigh. Threadgill heard some

to be burglar, cautiously opened the
door and walked into the yard. In few
minutes the person appeared at the cor
ner of the house. where he was hailed
and ordered to halt, by Threadgill, who
demanded his business. No reply was
made. but Threadgill distinctly heard the
clicking of pistol lock, and then, as the
man commenced to advance, he fired.
Then, for tho first time, the stranger
spoke. saying. "You have killed Kit!''
And go it was. He spoke no other
word, bu: died-shot through the heart
in few seconds, in the arms OF
