A PETITION is being circulated
to secure a speciac act Of Con.
gress pensioning the widow of
Joseph McDougal, formerly a
school teacher in this county,
who was murdered in Pike county
by order Of Captain Mitchell, of
John Morgan's forces. The case
is deserving as McDougal was
murdered while IN actual service,
although not enlisted in any Or
~ganization. Mitchell is deserving
Of looking after COO, as from all
accounts he ordered McDougal to
be shot, in cold blood, after he
was a prisoner, contrary to the
rules aud usages of war.

Our Civilization rOgress on
the Bottoms.


Church, Chillicothe, had an ex-
citing time on Sunday evening
of last week. We copy from
the Register the pastors Mr..
Millardl account of the affair,
prefacing it with the state,
ment that Mr.. De Camp Lad
just previous to evening ser
vices accused the pastor of be-
ing too attentive to q certain
grass. widow:
"Mr. Millard says that on the
evening in question he opened
the services as usual, taking
Tor his text the words: "There
are natural bodies, and there
are spiritual bodies" and, after
enlarging for SIX or eight min
utes upon the deceptiveness
of some men In their natural
bodies, who will appear to be
what they are not-who will
profess to be christians while
they are quite the reverse
he illustrated his point by stat
ing that there was a man not a
thousand miles from there
who was now ia the congrega.
tion, in fact-who would come
forward to the altar and sing
and pray as loud as the loud
est and act as sanctim cniously
as a saint, but who, the mo>
ment he got outside of the
church, "entered at once into
the service Of the DeviA, end
talked just as the Devil would
haze him talk"
Of course such a shot was
rather certain of producing
some effect, in one quarter or
another, but the uninitIated
had not time to inquire who
was struck befoI Mr.. Peter M.
sprang to his feet
greatly excited, shook his fist
at the minister and exclaimed.
ST you mean me, ,0hy don't
you point me out By name!"
To this, Mr.. Millard replied
that off the coat fit he could
wear it," A soft answer, it is
said, turneth away wrath, but
as this answer did not turn
Peters wrath, we take it for
granted that he did not consid
or it soft. On the other hand,
Mr.. Willard says that 1t seemed
to still further excite him, and
he advanced up the aisle to-
ward the pulpit, still talking
and gesticulating with his fist.
On the way up, one OF Mr.. DIS.
daughters interfered and tried
to stop him, but did not sue.
coed. Arriving at the sacred
desk, Peter seized the lamp
burning in front and extin.
gulshed it, saying that he was
Trustee OF the church, had the
keys, and there shouldn't be
any more preaching there by
Mlllard. To this assertion o.
authority and consequence,
the minister replied that it re.
minded him of a very conse>
guential aud self conceiI ed in.
dividual he once heard of in
the East, who, from being con.
nected with the bank, came to
regard himself as of the ut
mos: importance-so much so
that, one day, when he Was
asked by a stranger if he was
an officer of the bank, he drew
himself up very pompously
and exclaimed: "An officer!
an officer! Why I'm THE BANK,
itself"
The inference of the story
was plain to be seen, and Mr..
DeCamp drew it at once, thus
adding to his ire to such a de-
gree that he assembled to the
pulpit itself, and, being prompt.
ed by some one from the au,
dience, he turned off the gas,
putting the congregation in
darkness. Mr.. Millard, prom

New Pork, %. The board of supervisors
this afternoon adopted Mayor Halls resolu-
ton referring to the special committee the
communication of the committee investigat-
ing the city accounts, asking for power to
send for persons and papers to conduct their
investigation.
The board of aldermen to-day received and
placed on file communication from Mayor
Hall, renewing his former recommendation
that suit be commenced to recover posses
sion OF the real estate occupied by the Times
building, the title of which he says he be-
lieves is in the city.
Alderman Mailman, representative of SUI
pervisors on the joint committee with the
citizens for investigating the city accounts,
has presented report showing that the net
funded city debt is S62 000, 900, OF $2S ,000,-
900 less than the citizens committee reported
last week.
Waltman obtains the difference by deduct
ing from and excluding the estimates of the
temporary debt and revenue bonds, both of
which he claims were make-shifts, one for
local Improvements, and the other for gov
ernmental expenses. Both in fact are loans
to citizens, and in nc proper way included in
the city debt.
