Sad Drowning Affair.

Capt Thomas Il. Chester. of the towboat y.
+. Dravo, which arrived from the lower ports
yesterday morning. brings intelligence of a sad
drowning affair, which occurred in the Ohio
river. about two miles below the mouth OF the
Little Guyandotte river, Sunday morning at
ten o'clock. From the statements Of the Cap
tain. it seems that when the bravo reached the
point where the drowning occurred, party OF
seven three young ladies aud four young gen
tlemen, were noticed seated in sklif, which
was then in the willows on the Virginia shore
Of the river. They Immediately rowed outinto
the river, and pulling rapidly were soon in the
"swcll or waves Of the towboat. About half
a mile further up the river, Captain Chester
looked back to see If the Niagara towboai,
which was following, was in sight. The first
thing that met his gaze was the skif, appar-
emily upset in the middle Of the stream. An
opera glass was Immediately procured and with
this he was able to bring the skif close enough
to discover that it was upset, and that its for
mer occupants, who were in the water, were
holding on to it, and struggling to save them
selves from drowning. The engine was immc-
diately reversed and the boat backed to the
scene of the struggle The Niagara had also
come up by this time, but both boats were un-
able to render any assistance, the entire party
having sunk for the last time. hgcntleman
who afterwards came abord the Drayo furnish
cd the Captain the names Of the party as fol-
lows: Joseph Sbley, Charles Sibley. Miss
Polly Gullam, Miss Eliza Davis, Charles Nc
Key and Dallas Jones. None Of the bodies
had been recovered at last accouuts.-Iihs-

Bishop Meade.


From tue Clarke Courier we copy the follow
ing in relation to Bishop Meade:
"Thc numerous friends Of the late Bishop
Meade will be gratiied 10 bear Of another tri-
butte of respect to that venerable and holy
man. A tasteful tablet Of pure white marble
has been placed in the " Old Chapel by tho
alIectionate care Of DR.. Il. G. Randolph, with
the following inscription
"Sacred 10 the memory Of Rt. Rev. William
Meade, Bishop Of the Diocese Of Virginia.
He commenced bis pastoral duties in this Old
Chapel, in the year 1909. And to the day Of
his death, supervised the Parish with pastoral
interest Here lie desired TO lie down 10 rest
amid the sopulchrcs Of his own people, if God
willed. We would have watched over bis

been denied, and in sad regret, we can only
present this little testimonial Of love and ven

The Difference.

Wells is Northern man; so is his compoti-
tor, Colonel Walker. Why is it that We choose
the latter in preference TO the former MS our
candidate for Governor? IL is because he is
man whose character we respect, and whose
sentiments, manners and associations are those
Of a gentleman. Because he came amongst
us to live and cast in his fortunes with our peo-
pie. Because he recognizes the people Of
Virginia as human beings, entitled to some
control over the affairs Of their own State. Be-
cause he is for the re-establsbmeDt Of our in
dustries tllc Development Of our resources and
the building up Of our internal improvements
in the interests and for the benefit Of the peo-
pIe of the State Because he has not sought
to thrust himself into Office in order that hc
might harass and plunder us. Because he has
not calumnated us at home and abroad and
formed alliances with those who are cndeavor-
ing to disfranchise and crush us. Arc not
these reasons enough ?--Rictmond Wing.

Emigration.

The fow Of emigration to the United States
still continues very heavy. During the first
five months Of the present year the number Of
emigrants landing in New York was 1869,
or thirty per cent. greater than for the cor
respondent part Of the year 1868.
German emigration thus far this year
has taken the lead, the number Of Irish being
not half 50 large as that of THE persons coming
from the different German States. It's stated
that of those provided with places by the
Castle Garden Labor Exchange. something like
a seventh part are tailors, ninth are shoe
makers. and another ninth cabinet-nakers /;
laborcrs, carpenters, and coal miners arc less
than tenth part each gardners and rnasons
about one in twenty each.

A bird of low degree;
Nv life is of little value,
But the dear Lord careth for nc.
He gave me a coat Of feathers,
1t is very plain, know,
With never a speck OF crimson,
For it was not made for show.
But 1T keeps me warm in winter,
And il shields me from the rain
We're it bordered with gold or purple,
Perhaps it would make me vain.
Bv and By when the spring-time cometh,
| will build me little nest,
With many chirp Of pleasure,
In the spot like the best.
And He will give me wisdom
To build it of Leaves most brown;
Warm and soft il must be for my brides,
And so will line it with down.

neither SOW nor reap;
God gives me sparrow's portion,
But never a seed to keep.
If my meal is sometimes scanty,
Close picking makes it sweet;
Ihave always enough TO feed me,
And "lile is more than meat.
know there are many sparrows,
All the world over we are found,
But our Heavenly Father knoweth.
When one of US falls to the ground.
Though small we are never forgotten.
Though weak, we are never afraid
For we know that the dear Lord kecpeth
The life of the creatures He made.

But never lose my way.
And fold nv wings at twilight,
Wherever happen to be;
For the Father is always watching,
And no harm will come to me.
