On Christmas day there was a gander-
pulling near Marshall, Texas. By some
mistake in numbers, two of the con.
tcstants, Mr.. Wyatt Rosborough and a
young man by the name of Scullen,
started from opposite points at the
same time, aud travelling under whip
and spur, their horses Ian violently to-
gether under the limb from which the
gander was suspended. The shock was
so severe that both horses were killed
dead on the spot, and the riders thrown
to the ground and so badly injured that
for time their lives were despaired of.
There were no spirituous liquors on the
ground, and all parties were duly sober.

and accompanied by the Steamboat w. H.

then sailed up as far as Harris Island, and
were compelled to come to an anchor in conse-
quence of q dense fog.
Att OF clock on Sunday morning we weighed
anchor and started up to the head of Long ISL
and Sound, and arrived at GARDENERS Island,
where the steamer James r. Whiting was to
meet the expedition. On Sunday night the
steamer John Chase arrived with 215 of our
men under command of Col. Currier. The
Whiting had not arrived and the officers held
a consultation. Not finding any steamer as we
expected to, we searched for her four hours but
could not find her. We then came to anchor
until o'clock on Monday morning, when we
made another search for the Whiting until 8
O'Clock. Our provisions and water gave out,

WEDNEsDAY.-The Association met at 9
o'clock A. NJ, according to appointment, Rev.
G. Colby in the chair.
After the devotinal exercises, pnducted by
Rev. G.. W. Barber, the order ofthe day was
taken up, the presentation of essgs, and such
discussion as tire subject of the essays sug-
gested
RevC. w. Blackman read an es say upon
The best method of promotin. Revivals,''
which very clearly and fairly presented those
effectual methods which have eve been found
successful in the church. He dyelt with en-
phasis upon the necessity of the presence and
operation of the Holy Spirit of Gsd, without
which all effort would be utterly irvain At
the same time agencies were to be employed
by the church in accordance with those princi-
pies of operation which Christ as the head of
the church had established The pastor must
make this an especial object, both in his own
pulpit efforts and pastoral visitabens. The
church, by prayer for the outpouring of the
Spirit, and by the use of personal influence,
must cooperate with the pastor in his personal
efforts. The essay called especial attention to
the necessity of a revival spirit in the church,
the outpouring of the spirit of holiness upon
the church, according to the order of the day
Was adopted as expressing the views OF the
Association upon the subject
Rev. S. R. Bailey presented an essay upon
Pulpit Preparation in which he dwelt upon
the necessity of as thorough and full prepara-
ton as possible. The use of pen necessary to
full preparation. Write as fully as possible,
first studying the subject thoroughly, in order
to acomplete view oft in all its bearings-bui
not reading the manuscript. Most successful
preachers, and all, or nearly all, theological
schools, give their voice against the practice
The bible must be thoroughly stud'e or little
success can be attained in that which is the
only object of the minist try.
In the Afternoon, Rev. w. H. H. Pillsbury
read an able essay upon The Operations o.
the Holy Ghost before the day of Pentecost, "
in which was clearly brought to notice, SO fal
as scripture presents it, the relation of the
Spirit to the Father and Son, and His work il
creation, in the instruction of the mind of mar
by His inspiration, and in the sanctifcation O.
the heart.
Some items Of business occupied the remain
der of the session.

held, at which effective addresses were deliv
cred by Rev. J. o. Thompson of Westbrook
and Rev. Daniel Halleron of Kennebunkport
