GB- cake walk recently took place at
the A. M. E. church at Coatesville, for the
benefit of the church. AS many of our
readers are not familiar with the modus
operandi of cake walk, we append de-
sc:iption thereof: A cake containing a gold
ring is placed on small table, when the
ladies and gentlemen, who have previously
contributed twenty cents, form ring and
march around the cake, a. small flag hav-
ing previously been placed in the hands of
some one. The judge then stands near
with watch in hand. When the ring moves
round, the flag is continually passed from
one to the other, and the one who holds it
when the designated time is up gets the
cake.

Danger from Ice.

During the terrible cold weather of the
last of December, the ice in the Mississippi
river did great damage. On the Goth ult.,
the steamer Celeste, while trying to
land at the foot of Island No. 20, was
struck by a mass of floating ice, and split
into fragments and sunk, with cargo of
corn and cotton worth $50,000 to $50, 900,
the officers and passengers having barely
time to escape in life-boats. The steamer
was worth $40, 600, and was not insured.
Her crew and passengers walked sixty
miles across the country to Brownsville,
suffering intensely from cold and exhaus-
tion. Two hundred thousand bushels Of
corn were sunk at Memphis, by the barges
in which it was contained being cut down
by the floating ice. Four steamers lying
at the levee at that city were also lost.
On the 31st ult., the ice in the Ohio
river broke up and did great damage to
the boats at Cincinnati. Several steamers
were wrecked and over fifty barges were
sunk.

The court has sentenced Stokes to be hung

EB- Early Thursday morning John G.
Heen, of Lancaster, brakeman on the ninth
fast freight east, Pennsylvania railroad,
was instantly killed one mile east of Kin
ser's station. The brakeman had been sent
back to flag an approaching train, and as
the latter was detained a considerable
length of time it is supposed that he sat on
the track and fell asleep or became so be-
numbed by the cold as to be unable to
move from his position. While in this
posture the train following his train ran
over him and mangled his body in the
most frightful manner.

origin Of Camp II eciings..

A correspondent, Of "a Boston paper
gives the following version of the ori-
gin of the popular, religious gather
ings: ses~
Inot long since listened 10 sermon
upon this subject from which gathered
the following facts. Two brothers,
preachers, one a Methodist, the other q
Preshyterian,were travelling in the State
Of Tennessee. They stopped at q Will
age to spend the Sabbath. There being
but one church in the place, ia .Preshy-
terian), it wasFagreed that they should
both preach inyit-the Methodist offici-
ated in the morning and the PresbYte
rian in the afternoon. As they were
very Jealous in the cause they conclu-
ded to hold meeting on Monday. The
excitement became so great that the
church was! not large enough to accom-
modate the multitude, and they adjourn
ed to grove near by and the people
came from far and near; some bringing
tents, and covered wagons, and contin-
ued the meeting a week. Hence the
name Of camp meeting. Though the
Presbyterians have never made it Sc
prominent in their operations as the
Methodists, yet they share equally in
its origin. - le,Iss .,ssi. Ve $50. s5.,e

Affection of Monkeys for Their
Dead. 855s 4 I'll f.l.z gfi}Et

From James Forbes's Oriental Men.
oirs the following interesting account is
extracted: One Of a shooting party 7un-
der banian tree, killed a female mon.
key and carried it to his tent, which
was soon surrounded by forty or fifty
of the tribe, who made a great noise,
aid seemed disposed to attack their ag-
gressor. They retreated when he pre-
sented his fowling piece, the dreadful
effect of which they had witnessed and
appeared perfectly to understand. The
head of the troop, however, stood his
ground, chatteripg furiously, the sports
man, who perhaps felt some little de-
gree of compunetion for having called
one of the family, did not like to fire at
the creature, and nothing short Of
firing would sntlice to drive him off -
At length be came to the door of the
tent, and finding threats of no avail,
began lamentable moaning, and by
the most expressive gestures seemed to
beg for. the dead body. 1t was given
to him; he took it sorrowfully in his
arms, and bore it away to his expecting
companions. They who were witness
es of this extraordinary scene resolved
never again to FIRE at one OF the mon
key race.
