THE OLD SECESSION VIRUs.-The
Washington Republican has the follow
ing suggestive sketch:
" Saturday gentleman stopping for
few moments in public business Office
in this city heard the following brief but
significant conversation touching the re-
cent rumor of protective alliance be-
tween England, France and Spain against
the United States. The chief speaker
was young lady from Georgia:
Lady. Do you think we are going
to get into war with England, France
and Spain l hope SO, for then we at the
South will get our liberty.
Gentleman in charge of the office.
Oh, you would not fight against the old
| flag You don't hate the North.
Lady. Yes, do. | hate the Gov
eminent; we would all fight against it
we would not lick the hand that knocked
us down. They have just killed old Ad-
kins and DIR. Aver, the old Radicals in
Georgia, and | am glad of it, for they were
Southerners, and | hate Southern Yam.
KEGS great deal worse than any other
and 1 hope they will kill old Bullock
the Governor. Father raised and took
into the army a company at his own ex.
pense, and paid $4,000 in gold. He was
killed in 1862, but brother was in the
army through the war, and he just wants
to go in again. He don't like business
or planting any more, and we'll all fight
with England against the United States
and get our liberties"

THE WHITE PINE REGIoN,--lhe
Rockv Mountain Herald has advices from
White Pine, which represent that the
place is entirely overcrowded. Menwere
arriving at the rate of one hundred a
day, while about half that number we're
leaving daily, and many more would do
so had they the means it is good spot
for capitalists, as there is large amount
of trade being done, but not for poor
men for, although wages are high, there
are forty men waiting to do every Joo
that turns up. The population OF the
district was estimated at $4,000 of which
Hamilton City has 5000, Treasure City
5000. and Shermantown 1000, the rest
being scattered in the vicinity. There
are also about 5000 men in the Patter-
son district, which lies about 70 miles
southeast of White Pine, and has only
been in operation the last two or three
months. In White Pine there are three
stamp mills going, and five more are
building; they charge $50 per ton for
crushing the quartz. The price of pro-
duce is rapidly falling.

The CONSCIENCE FUND.-A State
ment prepared at the Treasury Depart
ment reveals the fact that since the year
1864, there has been paid into the Treas
ury conscience fund eighty thousand two
hundred and thirty eight dollars and
ninety cents. The amount paid in each
year is rapidly growing larger. In 1861
only two hundred and fifty dollars we're
paid in, while during the five months of
this year, over fifteen thousand dollars
have been received. Two thousand dol
lars were received last Monday morning.
Considering the large amount thus paid
IN, the amount not received for those
who have no conscience to return what
does not belong to them must be very
large besides showing painful loseness
on the part of some of those who paw
out the governments money.

Springfield District.

The following is the report of Rev. L.
c. Dickinson, presiding elder of this dis
trict, which will doubtless be read with
interest by large number of our read
ers
The Springfield District herein report
ed is bounded on the east by the Connec-
ticut river and on the south by Massachu-
sets. 1t extends west to the top of the
Green Mountains, and north about nine
ty miles. The territory embraces fifty
four towns, in which are twenty-four
charges, the extremes being one hundred
and five miles apart.
Health given me by kind Providence,
and favorable circumstances attending
my travels, have prevented the loss of
Sabbath, or the failure to reach single
appointment.
We have been called to mourn the
loss of one of our number, Rev. Erastus
Pettengill, who died the Sth of March,
having faithfully served the church as a
minister of the Gospel in the effective
relation for thirty-three consecutive
years.
The greater part of the preachers on
the District are young men of much
promise to the Church the remainder
are veterans in the itinerant ranks, who
have done and are still doing efficient
service for the cause of Christ. The SUI
perannuated are noble men and in har-
mony with the brethren who have taken
their places and are cheering them in
their labors.
A healthy religious influence has been
enjoyed, with considerable revival inter-
est manifested on nearly every charge
and an increase of one hundred and twen-
ty members has been realized. This may
seem too small to deserve a mention, but
it affords pleasure in contrast with the
decrease of one hundred and sixty mem
bers, during the decade which ended last
year.
The pressure of hard times has some.
what embarrassed our financial affairs,
but our preachers have in general been
we'll supported, and by faithful efforts
have increased the missionary collection
about $3.50.
Our houses of worship, save two OF
three, are in good repair and of modern
style ; four having been thoroughly re.
fitted during the year.
The parsonages are generally commo
), dious and in good repair and are usual
ly well furnished. Two have been pur

Since the last session of our Confer
ence we have increased the value of oul
Churce property on the District by re
pairs and purchases as follows church
es $4,000; parsonages $1,000; tota
l $1,000.

Where is Drake S. T.1890X| We
have heard this question asked many
times, and for all we knew for a wear
past he might be dead. Recently, in
New York, we called at his Laboratory
in Liberty ST., and there found this gem
leman barricaded behind tremendous
pile of boxes, distributing funds to a
Sunday School Committee. Our bust
ness was to secure an advertisement. He
said any dear sir, what is the use of
advertising the Plantation Bitters p
They sell better now than when | adver-
tlsed at such enormous expense, and now
l have not made a contract for q year.
| have all this amount to. give to the
poor. To satisfy the Press, however,
who havealways been my friends, l think
| will give you little something to do
again, for | have improved the Bitters
greatly, and it may be well to have you
let the people know it." And so he ran
on IN a happy, cordial, appreciative man
ner, showing us the wonders OF his place
and the cords of certificates. Every
thing is on a magnificent scale, and is
done with neatness and promptness.-
While there we saw at least forty orders
come IN for these celebrated Bitters.-
Cases were being shipped to the four cor
ners of the world Drake is not dead,
nor his Bitters either. Exchange paper.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT. A sad affair
happened at Kingston, N. T., last week.
Mr.. George Cholwell started fire in his
lime kiln and partly filled it, after which
he left for home. Soon after his son, a
lad of ten years, supposing the fire had
gone out, went down into the kiln by
means of windlass and tub. The gas
from the burning coal and lime soon
stupefed him, so that hefell from thetub.
A little sister, about eight years of age,
being present, gave the alarm to their
mother, who directed the little girl to go
down into the kiln and get the brother
into the tub, when she would haul them
both up. The little girl did as she was
told, but on arriving at the bottom she
fell out, apparently suffocated The ag-
onized mother then got her aged father
and mother to let her down by the wind
lass, so that she could rescue her offspring
from death. She went down and put her
children in the tub, when they were
hauled at the top, apparently lifeless.
The tub was again lowered to rescue the
mother, who had already begun to show
sings Of exhaustion from the suffocating
gas. She had strength enough to get in
to it, but when they began to turn the
windlass her heavy weight (225 pounds)
caused the iron shaft to turn in the wood
en- drum. The neighbors were sent for,
but before assistance could arrive Mrs.
| Cholwell died in the kiln. Her husband
went down and tied a rope around her
body, by which she was hoisted out. The
boy died on Saturday morning; the girl
will prouably recover.

In disoharging Pratt, the commissioners said
