GENTLEMEN: At the meeting of stock
holders Of your Company in February last,
it was stated, that the Company would be-
gin to declare quarterly dividends on it's
stock in July following, unless some un-
foreseon accident should occur to pre-
Won't it. We have watched the business
of the Company-understand that it has
ncreased-hnve heard of no "unfore-

dence that the direction intends to full
fill its promise.
We have been waiting for five long
years for dividends upon our stock.
You have sought the management of the
affairs of the Company during that
time, and have controlled it. We call
upon you to redeem your pledge, made
in February last, or to give some satis-
factory reason for your failure.

TERRIBLE KEROSENE AccIDENT.-One
of the most terrible kerosene calamities
we ever heard of, is mentioned in the
Cincinnati papers of Saturday. The
people in one of the principal streets
were suddenly appalled, by the spectacle
of q Mrs. Bickford Ia young and pretty
woman) rushing about among them She
WAS II perfect mass of fire from head to
foot, the long spires of flame raised seve-
raj feet above her head, and flaring out
from her body in every direction. The
crowd attempted, with their hits and
hands. MS we'll as they were able, to ex-
tinguish the flames, which we're burning
fiercely. A blanket was at last brought
and thrown around her, smothering the
fire. but not until every shred of ber
clothing was burned to ashes, and the
hoops of her skirt heated to red heat,
deeply imbedded in her quivering flesh.
Such an event is dreadful enough to
make one wish there were no kerosene.

duet gave the enemy a victory
that should have been ours, caused
the fruitless slaughter of thousands
of brave men and endangered tho
capital of the country. Gen. Pope's
management Of his forces at the
battle Of Groveton, or Second Bull
Run, as tits called, whatever it
may have been on other occasions,
was excellent, and bis defeat was
directly and solely attributable to
the want OF CO.. operation on the part
OF McCIellans claquers, among
whom Porter was the most crimi-
nal and conspicuous. No candid
person who has even a fair kDowl-

Behavior in Church.

Mr.. Beccher is making q very
lively paper Of the ChriStinn Union.
Here is paragraph on behavior in
church, which has q secular appli.
cation We classify the pctty in.
ciyilities Of church life thus: :
l. Smells Violent perfumes, cs.
pecialIy those containing musk,
are disagreeable to most persons,
and to some positively distressing.
There is no smell 30 universally
pleasing as no smell. Never scent
yourself when going into q crowd'
ed assembly. The same is true of
the rcsiduarY smell Of tobacco
which hangs about the garments
and afflic,s the breath Of those
who habitually smoke. But tobac.
co almost invaribly makes men
selt.indulgent and regardless Of
others convenience. More brutal
yet are they who go to church
reeking, like a Dutchman's soup,
with the smell of onions. There
arc scores Of people who have lest
all profit of Il Sunday service by
by the sickening smells which sur
rounded them.
2. Sounds. -. Whispering in
church during the service is on at
front to politeness. Much of the
coughing which goes on in church
arises from the poisonous gases
and personal eflluvia which exist
in unventilated churches But the
po yer of the will over The muscles
which do the coughing is very
great. A needless person will
cough at tho worst time possible
will cough plump upon the ncck'
of those before him, instead of en-:
balming the sound in his handker.

liteness he might easily do We
, would not forbid men who cannot
: sing TO make q joyful noise"--but
it should be q softly noise. In al
cases when it is q mans duty Il

TO snore with the soft pedal down
3. Sight,-Evcry one likes tc
sec the minister. 1t cannot b,
dono through your body. True
you cannot help being before sumo
body unless you are on the back
scat. But, with q little thought
you may very much help those be
hind you. Any conduct which
shall divert the attention Of Others
from the service, such as ostenta
tioas playing with watch oil
opening and shutting it, reading
Ibooks or papers, looking about in
quisitivcly, is impolite.
Many churches have tho Ter
Commandments set upon the wall
in sight of the wholecongregation
although not ono OF the sins repro
baied there is likely to be commit
cd in church time. Would it mo-
b be we'll to have another table
enumerating the sins which mer
are prone to commit in church time
