Death of Rev. J. K. cramer.

At meeting of the Presbyterian Church
vile congregation held on Sabbath, 9th Jan
uary, 1870, after divine service, the following
resolutions were offered by the elders of the
church, and unanimously adopted by the con-
gregation:
Whereas, it has pleased the Great Head of
liz church to remove from this world of suf-
fering and sin our late beloved Pastor, Rev.
John K. Cramer, we, the members of this
congregation-being the last over which he
was placed have assembled to give expression
to our feelings in view of this sad event.
Therefore
Res0ICed, list. That we have received in
teligence of the death Of Mr.. Cramcr with
unieigned sorrow, but we rel Dice to have the
blessed assurance that our loss is his unspcak-
able gain.
ResOIced, 3D. That in the death of Mr..
Cramer, the church has lost Jealous and
devoted minister, this congregation, has lost
deeply pious and dearly beloved Pastor,
who during the two years of his ministra-
tons among u.s. though often laboring under
much pain and suffering, discharged with fidel-
ity, as far as his physical strength would per-
nit, the responsible duties of u minister of
the Lord Jesus Christ.
RoSoIOed, 3D.. That it affords us great plea
sure to bear testimony to the uprightness OF
his conduct and the purity Of his life, while
mnisteling to this people. He has proved
himself to be not only the Christian gentle
man, but the warm-hearled friend and
brother. He has gone from our midst, not
only without ah enemy, but with all of us
his devoted friends.
ReSoIced,4th That we deeply sylnpathizc
with his afflicted relations in their sore be-
reavement, beseeching Almighty God to sus-
tain them under His affecting hand and to
over-rule this mysterious dispensation of His
providence to the spiritual good ofhis church
and people.
ResoIced, 9th. That the proceedings of this
meeting be published in the county papers,
and copy sent to the family of the deceased

THE DRESS QUESTION.

RrotAer srigisam's Com mands and
Appeals 10 Young POiygamesses.
The Mormon Church is now holding a
convention in Salt Lake City. A few
days ago Brigham Young made an address
to an immense audience, estimated at
over twelve thousand persons.
He said the Latter-Day Saints had
years ago received command to gather
out from the wicked, TO serve God and
keep his commandments. Yet to look at
them to-day, in appearance there was
little difference between them and the
rest of the world. Still there is a differ
enee. It is not fashionable with the
LasteF-Day Saints to take the name of
God In vain, as it is in the wicked
and he would say the vulgar world,
no matter how rich they might
be. They were not guilty of GAM
bling of any kind; nor of drinking
as people, but they were somewhat too
free in speaking evil of their neighbors.
But the point 10 which be wished to direct
special attention to was fashions. They
were too apt to follow those OF the world. |
IL the congregation wanted to see who !
were following after fashions, they could |
bonnets, hats and other articles of attire. |
he requested the sisters especially to stop |
following the fashions of the wicked. 10 |
The works of God there is an eternal |
variety, and he would not ask the people
10 dress in uniformity, like the Quakers,
but he asked the sisters to make bonnets
that would shield their heads from the |
weather and their faces from the SUM-
Dresses were next referred to, and the
change of fashion within brief space of
time. This following after fashion he
considered foolish and contrary TO the spirit
of the gospel Some time ago dresses
were extremely long; now. they were
extra short; and all extremes of the kind
he characterized as worse than foolish
He invited the ladies to make their own
head dresses and encourage industry in
their families He reprobated extrava-
gance and the purchase of unnecessary
articles, as spending of means which
should be applied to better and wiser
purposes This means thus squandered
would go far toward helping to immi-
crate the poor, though it was rather
discouraging to bring people from foreign
countries and find them employment, who
as soon as they get means around them,
would turn against God and His anointed.
But it is better, he said TO help nine who
are unworthy than 20 pass over one who
is worthy.
He inquired if the brethren and the
young sisters-an under hundred years
of age-would agree to stop the following
those foolish fashions, which was re-
sponded to by an uplifting of hands
throughout the vast assembly He then
took up the subject of ''the word wis
dom, and urged the people to cease the
use of stimulants of every kind, and
warmly advocated home manufactures. 1t
was gratifying to know, he said, that
wool was increasing for the making of
wooden cloth, and there was a prospect
that if the factory at Provo were com
plcted, which viii be able to turn out
eleven or twelve hundred yards of cloth
a day, there still would be suff1cieacy of
wool TO meet the demands of the fac
tories.

AN INCIDENT OF THE LATE CA
LAMTTY IN RICHMOND.

RIoHMoSD, Tuesday, May al heard
yesterday of one or the most remarkable
circumstances connected with the calamity
Of Wednesday last. Prof. Dews, well
known violinist of this city, at the time
of that occurrence was standing in the
wide avenue leading from the Governors
house, somewhat near the monument.
He heard the crash of falling tim
bers, and saw the clouds of dust rising
from the windows, when with terrible
suddenness and by some astonishing
and inexplieable working of the imsgina.
ton, the whole scene, as described
afterward by many persons, became vivid
ly impressed upon his mind. He knew
that horrible accident had taken place,
but more than this he could hear the
means of the dying and the cries of the
wounded, and could see their struggles
under the mass of fallen timbers. The
effect upon him was to produce paralysis
of the left side, his whole system was
choked as il by an electric current, the
EeFyes vibrated and tingled till they seemed
as If they must snap, so great was the
tension. He is yet confined to bed, but
Is improving under the medical attention
of DR.. p. A. Frayser. Prof. Dews is
9 reliable, middle aged gentlemen. He
is not OF all of an imaginative dis
position, is in the most vigorous health
and weighs 200 pounds. implicitly be-
lieve his statement, unaccoun,ablea as it is.
The present condition of his whole side
and arms prove how dreadfully he was
shocked and his eyes were freely spotted,
as Is often seen in cases of paralysis. /
have heard of some other persons who
were nearly as badly injured by hearing
the result of the accident. Old lawyer
Cannon, one of our most venerable and
worthy citizens, was paralyzed, and is
now confined to his bed. He has been
before in this CONDITION, however; but
none of these cases seem so strange as
this-where person, neither seeing nor
being told what had happened, at once
realized it in all of its shocking details
