CHURCH.
Tho annual rnnatinn Of tho Rnnrd of Enrninn

CHURCH.
The annual meeting of the Board of Foreign
Missions of the Presbyterian Church held Tuesday
at the Mission Rooms OF Centre and Duanests.
There were IS members present, and the proceedings
opened by the Rev. DR.. C. Hodge, the President
when the SD Annual Report Of the Board presented
and referred to five committees who shortly after re-
turned the document, containing 70 pages OF closely
printed matter with their appreciation. The Treasurers
report shows 100000 to have been received from
May 1, 1862 to April 80, 1870, making total Of
$4,000 received in aid of the Mission since 1885, The
debt OF the BOARD WILL oct l. 1870 exceed $4,000 al
though the churches have contributed $4,000 tn
past than in other and the Treasurer strongly
recommends the churches to increase their cOntrbu-
lions. The $4,000 cover all the Liabilities to oct Of this
The missions cover nine distinct fields viz: American
Indians Brazil Western Africa India Siam, Laos China,
JAPAN the Chinese In California, and the Jews in this
country The journals of the Board The American Mis-
StOndry and The Record, are hOurishing Thirty-twO
missionaries were sent out during the past year. and six
candidates for the ministry under appointment Pro-
IN marked among the Indians, except in the Of
the Winnebag0 Mission, which has been given UP. The
report from South America Is encouraging, while the
Western Africa, India, Siam, Japan China, and Laos
missions show marked progress. The work among the
Chinese in California is becoming highly important.
The European and American jewish missions not
satisfactorily accounted for Lack Of funds 10 be
the principal drawback
After the reception OF the report discussion arose
the Zenena work, and it urged by several mem
beers that the subject be fully discussed before the Gen
era Assembly and that measures be taken tn inform the
Church and community generally that this work receives
the fullest attention from Board, and 10 secure,
II possible the contributions made for this object from
all parts Of che Church for the Board of Foreign Missions
instead OF being distributed through other channels.
Before adourning 10 May 2, 1871 the Board resolved
that in view Of the change IN its FORM which il expected
to be- authorized by the General Assembly, although

The Due DE GRAM@oNT.-The story Of the
Due de Grammont's escape from France of.
ter the disastrous collapse ut Sedan is SO full
Of romance as to make us feel doubtful
whether we are really living in the matter
of-fact nineteenth century. 1t is, at all
events, wof@y of being preserved, and we
present OUT" readers with the following
facts, which we have good reason to believe
to be perfectly correct The Due de
Grammont, as Minister for Foreign Affairs,
naturally heard OF the Emperor'S surrender
Il day before the news was published in
Paris. He saw at once that flight was ne
ccssary, us the wrath Of the mob was sure
to be turned against the Ministry, who
were responsible for the war. He ac-
cordingly went to his bankers to provide
himself with money and various securities,
but was informed that the partner who had
charge Of his affairs was in the country,
whittier the Duo pursued him. The
partner was found engaged in bury
returned to Paris and delivered up to the
DUO de Grammont the papers and money
which were required. On the next day the
bad news was published, and the Minister
fled. He sent off servant in bis carriage
openly, and escaped himself by a private
door. The mob pursued the carriage, but
of course found no one in it that they
wanted, and the Due got safely to Calais.
On his arrival there, however, new cause
for alarm arose. IL was necessary for him
to produce his passport before he could
leave the country, and it was evident that
in this way his identity would be discovered,
and he himself, as seemed only too proba-
BILE, would be arrested and sent back to
Paris, never to quit it again. The risk,
however, had to be encountered, and he
showed his passport to the proper off,
Ger, and was, much to his relief, suffered
to 90 on board the English steamer without
remark. He at once went to the cabin,
and, the better to escape notice, pretended
to be very ill. In u few minutes, however,
he felt an ominous tap on the shoulder, and
looked round expecting to find himself q
prisoner. He saw only the passport officer,
who said to him: " When you were in
office you gave my son an appointment, = In
returns for that have to-day let you pass,
and thereby in all probability saved your
life" The officer went his way, and the
Due de Grammont got safely to Dover

A few days since awell-dressed and hand

THE HURRICANE AND FLooD AT MATAN-
zAs.--A letter to the New York World
gives the following description Of the re-
cent great hurricane and food ut Matanzas !:
With the lull of the storm and partial
change of the wind, the waters of the bay
at once retired from the city and suburbs,
and the two rivers, tran formed into tor
rents, were enabled once more to discharge
their suberabubdanee where they had been
wont to. The rapid flow towards the bay,
however, impaired to the waters SO much
current and force that, In their ebbing
from the inundated wards and suburbs,
they wrecked many more houses, dragging
to Watery graves many more persons.
Buildings, and parts, and fragments
OF buildings, furniture, trees goods.
and bodies innumerable, OF man and
beast, Of fish and fowl. were for sew.
crai hours borne by Che retiring food TO
the bay, there to be only IN small propor-
tions recovered. When the waters were
gone sad, desolating sight was indeed pre-.
Sented by the scourged wards and suburbs.
As stated at the beginning of this letter,
nearly 400 houses were swept away, with
all their contents, more or less valuable (391
houses by exact count-90 Of stone and
bricks and 301 of woody, aud more than 400
other houses were more or less injured.
Some OF the buildings swept away were
costly ones, including nearly all the fine
warehouses ON the leyee and the lower
banks of the San Juan and the Yumuri, not
one Of which but had boxes of sugar and
hogsheads of molasses in storage, the
whole Of which was also lost. In lives
I stated at the commencement the losses
would exceed 1000. There are accounts
which reduce the number to 800, and
others that raise it to 1000. / find
q letter from Matanzas merchant, which
states that four hundred and eighty-two
dead bodies had been found and buried,
and that five hundred missing persons were
accounted for. The most prominent man
drowned was the rich merchant, Pedro
Benet. Not single American is among
the victims. The brute creation naturally
Jared worse than the man in the inundated
wards and suburbs, and the number of
horses, cattle, hogs, dogs, &C., drowned is
very great. In the two wards of Pueblo
Neuvo and 0Jo de Aqua only one horse was
saved, and he, in TRUTH. saved himself,
being found, after the waters had gone,
upon the roof of a house, to which place OF
refuge he had made his way whilst the
waters were at their greatest height. No
pecuniary estimates of the losses within the
city have as yet been made that can pass fol
reliable. The letter quoted from a1firms
they will exceed $5,009000. |

SPIRITUAL MANIFESTATIONS AT THE IHE-
ArRE.-On "Wednesday and Thursday even
ings OF this week the people OF Richmond
will have an opportunity of witnessing the
performances of the Davenport Brothers,
the most noted "spiritual mediums" Of the
age. Their mysterious doings are thus de-.
scribed by the Washington Sunday Gazette:
ttWith the exception Of a plain scabinet,'
for all the world like wardrobe, and few
ropes, the Davenport Brothers do not use
adiuncts of any kind. By q COMMITTEES OF
gentlemen, chosen from the audience, the
Brothers are tied to seats Of this cabinet.
It is then that the manifestations COM
menee. Musical instruments are splsyed
upon, tambourines, yiolins, guitars, and
horns, and bells are ruDg. White male
and female hands and arms distinctly
present themselves, and the strange:t
voices are heard. Sometimes these spirit
hands are grasped by the COMMITTEES,
but they are only too glad T Co Lat
go their hold. The spirits then unite
the brothers and tie them up again
more securely than before, when the same
phenomena are presented, but with the
added force Of the presence sof member OF
the COMMITTEES inside the cabinet with the
brothers. 1t can only be said that, tied as
they are, it is simply impossible for the
Messrs. Davenport to- do acb0t ss done md
the committee chosen cannot be eonfede-
Rates. It lis idle to suppose such q Thing
