There is trouble in the Baptist church ct
Pittsfeld, Mass, growing out of the fact that
the minister, Rev. Mr.. Watson, has been using
q covenant which slightly differs from the ac-
cepted covenant of that church, but has in ad-
dition clause binding the members to abb
stain from the use of intoxicating liquors. Un-
der this covenant 160 members have been add

Ihe FARRAGUT-PoRrER CONTROVERSY
sui connnues TO attract the attention of the
public. The New York papers of Saturday
printed two letters TO contradict the assertion
that there was any ill-feeling or jealousy be-
tween these two eminent commanders. but
on the contrary that the most amicable re-
lations existed between them to the last
The first letter was from Admiral Farragut to
Admiral Porter, dated June 26, 1870, couch
ed in the most binding language, thanking
him for placing the steamer Talapoosa at the
disposal of the former to convey him 10
Portsmouth.
The second was directed to Com. Pennock,
at Kittery Navy Yard, by Admiral Porter,
two days before Admiral Farraguts death
expressing the most tender sympathy for the
Admiral in his critical condition, and ex-
pressing the hope that the attack might pass
over. He recognized in his letter the great
value of Admiral Farrasut to his country, and
desired that Com. Pennock, in the event of
the death of the gallant sailor, would give his
remains all the honor that his patriotic ser
vices entitled him to. The Brooklyn Eagle OF
Saturday pronounces Admiral Farraguts let
ter to Porter forgery, and the article con-
cludes: gs7rf..i .-,..-- -,.-r...
"He said to the writer of this paragraph a
few months before his death, Il have never ex-
changed correspondence with Porter nor writ
ten to him, nor barely spoken to him since he
sneaked over to Forts Philip and jackson
while was taking New Orleans, and after
had passed these forts and demanded their
surrender in his own name, and not in mine,
as commander of the feet. Sir, he created an
authority within an authority, and in all my
experience, have never known a man who
did that to succeed The letter to Porter,
then, from Farragut, is forgery, on the word
of Farrasut himself before he died. 1t is not
forgery that Mrs. Farragut has letter from
Porter, about the time of his Cape Fear letter
calling Grant loafer, drunkard, liar and
an imbecile in so many words. That is what
he though: of the President before he wanted
an Office under him. We are not sure that
Major Montgomery, the late Admiraps secre-
tary, owes it to the AdmiraPs memory, now
that his name has been forged, to get that open
letter of Porter's on Grant, and to see if Por-
ter will be able to remember nothing about it.

when they were very aged and wore big spec
tacles and leaned on canes and seemed great
way off from the little folks. Now they are
quite young people themselves-at least they
seem SO to us-they dress and talk just like
other people and have not by any means for
COTTON how children put on what they like,
consequently they are very delightful when
they really set to work to tell stories. This
story about Nellie is full of things that chill
dren like to hear and besides that it will put in
to their heads some thoughts that it will do
them good to think over by themselves. Nell
lie would not have seen the laries if the faries
had not known that she was very good little
girl, and even seeing them would not have
made her SO happy if she had not been all
ready to learn the lessons they taught her.
Our little girls of to-day can 60 into the same
beautiful woods where Nellie went with
''moolhe," and they can also see the house
where she went to school. Many ladies and
gentlemen in town remember very distinctly
Mrs. Danes school, and would know the slap
of that ferule or the tap of that thimble on
their heads if either of them should be allow
cd to come back again in this neighborhood.
Above all they would sneezs with all their
might if one of those snufy old pocket hand
kerchiefs were to be disinterred and waved in
the air. Many would shake in their shoes and

men if they saw in their dreams that white
| capped old lady take her seat in her straw bot
toned chair, with speliDg-book in her hand,

have all passed away long ago and the children
of to-day can laugh over them as merrily as
they plase without fear Of the ferule, just as
they can read and enjoy the other experiences

thing, though she does live in Cincinnati
Her William is in the work house of that city,
confined greatly against his will and his most
earnest desire to get his liberty, that he may
take charge of and properly regulate some
mostimportant family matters. One of these
matters relates to suit for divorce which
the goddess-referring to Mrs. Morris-has
just instituted, taking an unfair advantage,
as one may say, of the incarcerated William.
Asummons has been issued against the un-
happy man to be and appear, to show cause,
&c. &C., according to the formula in such case
made and provided. He cannot appear, be-
cause, as he feelingly says, he is Surrounded
by wrought iron mortar and brick" He would
like to know how he can appear under such
circumstances; and that is truly an appalling
conundrum. He fears that, taking further ad-
vantage of his forced immunity from society,
Mrs. Morris will accomplish divorce, per-
haps marry an entire stranger; so that, when
once again the god of day appears to his be-
wildered gaze over the eastern hill-tops, he
will have no wife to speak of, no home, no
one to love him, and In fact nothing at all of
that kind. We don't know when we have

tainties of the law, as in the present instance
