heard organs and quartettS. being invited to
preach in 4 New York church, was greatly
pcrpleXcd with the prelude and the artistic
style with which the hymn was rendered.
After prayer he gave out the second
hymn, saying "The audience will now join
me in singing an old Methodist hymn, and
those persons running that bag Of wind in the
gallery will please not interrupt"
Dr.. McCosh preached in pu'pitwhere the
quartctte choir sang tie first pi2ce in most
finished and artistic stylc-so artistic that
neither minister nor people understood one
word of what was sung. When it was ended
the Doctor waited momcntas if he expected
the applause to come in, but Us it did not he
rose and gravcly said: And now we will
commence the worship Of God in the use Of
the 9th hymn"
An UNFORTUNATE VlsITATIoS.--We
learn that party Of disguised men, IN
character Of XII klux, coming from no
one knows where, made a descent on this
town, on Saturday night last, and surround
ing the dwelling house Of Sim. Young, Coun>
| ~ Commissioner, fired into it vollcy, which

in bed. Young succeeded in getting out of a
window in the rear, and escaped over fence.

one of which it is said took effect, inNicting

next proceeded 20 the Jail, and getting through
an open window of Mr.. CaGwell's room, they
SURPRISED him and the ja.lor, Mr. Bailey, and
held them as prisoners, first forcibly eject
ing them on. through the window into the
yard. A demand for the keys was then
| made, but as neither had them in possession,
some of the party went in quest Of the Shcr>
! if, who occupied another room. About this
time, Dir. Caldwell states, the order was Siv>
en- BY some one for the whole party to with
draw, which they did. HestatcS that thcr =
were about fifteen in and around the jail.
The whole party left there as they came, si'
lcnty and mys;crousiy, no one knowing
from whence or where. 1t is said further
that before running, Young fired at the par
tv and wounded one of them. As sooH,
therefore, as possible Sheriff Paysnscr: sum-

in the d:y Of Sunday, returned with wound

The entire community drp'orc the COM
initial Of this act, and particularly at this
junc;ure, when the County rcstc 4 in profound
peace, and the hope wa, entertained, in spite
of the ugly occurrences taking place clse<
where that nothing of this kind would or

\ STREAK OF LCcK.-The nuniicent
terms offered by Strakosch 10 Mile Nilsson,
strikes the tympanum Of this local. One
thousand dollars each for sixty nightly war
blcs, making the magnificent grand total OF
sixty thousand dollars, is the offer which
has been made, and the papers say that
MadcmoiSelle has not yet consented to ac-
cept. We are rcjuiccd at this; it leaves the
field open, and We are determined 10 enter
for the golden prize. Ii has always been a
question whether we wo1ld condcscend to
appear on the stage before mixed assem-
blagc, but one thousand dollars night, for
so small an lffort, turns The scale. 1t would
be ridiculous nonsense to refuse such 4
chance. One thousand q nigh! What a
glorious day would follow. and how much
gooL might bc done! \ donation for church
organ for instance, or some other charitable
Object, So rs 70 give the Indies rest; and
charity covcrcih multitude of sins. Yes,
we'll "go for it," Notwithstanding some evil,
disposed and cnviouS persons dare to insin-
uatc that our voice sounds like the tearing
Of strong rags. Let them talk; they have no
music in their souls. Our voice only needs
cultivation and practice, (Which tits intended
1t once 10 give It) and had We taken course
Of lessons from Prof Sherman last Summer,
us those detractors did, We would be singing
Us bad. wc meant 10 SLY good, rs they do
now. If StrakoScl; will only wait, and
Nilsson continue 20 hesitate, well win the
day. We don't ere fig for fame or rcpu-
tat;on, S;rak"sch and the lady Can keep ali
of HAT, bus the money, that is what we
want. And vino knows if our off r is accept
ed, but that It will be TWO thousand instead
Of one One given to choke us off, you
know; and who cares? it cannot make any
difference if we get the money, for as before
stated, we would not give 4 farthing ruSh>
liSh: for fame, its Il humbag. One thousand
dollars in one night! sc gods and little fishes!
We don't get that in 4 whole year printing,
and its all gone besides before We get il. II
it proves succcSsful, There will be i chance
for some one TO immortal:zc himself, as this
paper will be sold to the highest bidder, with
the entire good will, Including = score Of dead
heads, fellows who arc deaf to persuasion,
insinuat;oa or moral principle, and rs many
more kind patrons, who never remember TO
pay, all, shall be thrown in. We wait reply
from Strako$ch.
