Making Things Lively for Sinners.

Perhaps tue most famous revivaliSt aud
camp.meeting man Of his day was the
Rev. Jcdcdioh Burchard He used to
make things lively for sinners. 1t was
bis custom to 60 round amoung the aud
ienco and select a sinner here aud there
to operate on. lie prided himself upon
his discrimination, aud used to boast that
he could select the worst cases at a glance.
On one occasion, during Camp.meeliOg
in Vermont, while the brethren were sing
ing rouSiug hymn, the reverend gentle
man started on tour Of inspection. 1t
SO happened that Professor Benedict, Of
tho Vermont University, Burlington, had
paid visit to the camp out Of curiosity,
having heard much of Jodediah's ccceutri-
cities. The Professor was small man,
with copiouS head Of hair, aud very
long, sharp, red, nose, lie was uccuStom.
ed in all seasons to carry large, old.fash'
ioncd cloak with a high collar, Finding,
on reaching the camp, that Jcdcdiah was
presiding over penitent bench, the pro.
lessor made bis way to the spot The
meeting was in full blast, and score Of
sinners we're on their knees in front Of the i
platform grooming weeping and ,tjaculat'
ing. As a strong sharp wind was blow
ing, tue professor drew bis cloak around
him with the collar well up about bis face,
only bis very shock head Of hair and pecu-
liarly r,d nose being visible The profess.
or took seat on the outskirts oftheCrowd
aud prepared to enjoy the scene.
Presently Jedediah announced that the
Lord had notified him that many nynotoriouS
sinners we're in the meeting, and that he
vas going round to pick them out. Then
started out Oh bis tour. Soon he drew near
the professor, and the minister's eye at
once rested upon him, Jedediah walked
toward him, exclniming, lord, save
souls" aud after cycling the professor for
q moment, put bis hand on bis shoulder
and asked:
"ArO youa saved mani Are you a
professor?"
"Yos, sir, answered Mr. Benedict =
"I'm Professor Of Mathematics and Civil
Engineering in the Vermont UniverSi-
ty."
"Do you know that you are a sinner.
going to hell as fast as you can gO?" said
Jedediah.
Il don't believe a word ofit," the pro-
fessor said, iu an angry tone; "and | should
like to see it demonstrated on tho black
board"
The reverned Jededah was taken aback,
but soon recovered himself and said:
"You must come to the peOitents seat
and I'll demonstrate it to you"
Il will do nothing of the sort, retOrted
the angry professor.
"Then the Lord commissions me to car
ry you thus" said Jedediab and he whip
ped up the little man under bis arm, cloak
and all.
"Aud the lord commissions me to jab
you thus, the professor exclaimed, draw
ing huge shawl pin. which fastened bis
cloak, and running it into the feshiest
part of Jedediah's person.
Jedediuh uttered q shrek Of agony, and
dropping the professor, clapped bis hand

The contract for furnishing. dressing and
setting the white marble of the new public
building amounted to S, 800. 900, and was
awarded to Struther 4 Som. This is said to
be the lareest contract ever given out to one
party BY this city, and it brings the c'~t Of
the public building already veil ny into the
millions. Six years is the length of time al
Iotted for the completion of the entire work.
Oae wing is to be ready in 1876. The
suthori,,~s consider that il IL better to have
the work done thoroughly than TO have IT
done shsbbily under the plea of hurry. The
marble is to come from the Vermont quar-
ries in the rough, and worked into shape At
the building. The stone ured in the foun-
dstion wallis is brought on the railroad cars
