ST. GEORGES CHURCH.

The Rev. DIR. Tying ON Fostcr-Repent-
ance Means Salvation-The Rcvilings
OF the World Not To he Regarded by
Christtan Souls.
Many, NO doubt who yesterday attended DIR.
Eyng's church were drawn thither by the idea that
the reverend gentleman would touch upon the
subject Of Foster, with whose fate he has been SO
intimately connected during the past month or so.
This was the reason why the large church was
crowded In. every part, and the name Of the
executed felon was on everybodys tongue who
Was there. On ascending the pulpit Dr. Tying gave
a. his text part OF the eighth chapter Of the Songs
sf Solomon, beginning-"I raised thee up under
The apple tree; there thy mother brought thee
np." He began by speaking of the mercies which
the Almighty vouchsafed to those who cared to
follow HIS Of the great love and care
had been done by God TO give each one share OF
tnat salvation which was intended for all. He
said that he had the full hope that
THE UNFORTUNATE NAN
VINO had been cut OF 80 suddenly during the past
mao long sns o
God. He had met his doom with resignation and
entirely in Christian spirit Would that all those
nunted down criminal. God had said that
ne would bear the burdens OF his children, and
ihe children OF this world ordinarily suner. What
matter the spirit with which the world reviles at
the Christian He has fortitude and hope
NS~
Judge, and what mattered 1t to him
HOW THE WORLD JUDGED HIN
Jesus was the stay and the strength OF all those
who we're denied by this world, and the Saviour,
who said there was more Joy IN heaven
1t the saving OF one soul that was
pucked from the burning than at the
salvation OF hundred righteous ones
had taken that poor castaway soul into His
eosOm IN that kingdom where the wicked cease
nom troubling and the weary are at re4J Re-
pentance and hope for better life should animate
"a all at the last moment.
When the reverend gentleman ended sermon
which was repete with Christian beauty the effect
was deep and soul-felt on the congregation. The
living Illustration was 80 apt and so well put as
TO be extremely impressive.

quoted extensively from the letter OF the Governor
setting forth his reasons for not committing the
sentence OF Foster, and continued:-He knows OF
what he speaks--namely that the principle Of pun

ment, whether OF God or man, and congratulated
the law abiding people that there was reason to
hope. with such q Governor, crime viii be checked

affords To society and its salutary influence law

CHURCH OF THE DISCIPLES.

MANS and Gods Punishments-The
Fearful Fate or Foster and Its Les
sons-sermon by the Rev. George III.
Hepworsh.
One Of the largest congregations that have yet at
eended at the evening services of the Church Of
The Disciples al Stenway Hall. was assembled at
the services last evening. One reason OF this,
aside from the personal popularity OF Rev. George
q. Hepworth, the pastor, was, no doubt, the pre-
sious announcement that the subject OF the dis
course would be "Man's and Gods Punishments"
and the suppesuo that he would take up the
case of Foster. In this respect he did not
disappotnt the congregation. He took for his text
the following words Of St. Paul :-"Who will render
20 every man according to his deeds" These words
stgnined, ne began, that we we're living in world

Mr.. Greeley's VIII.

The contest over Mr.. Greeley's will
is ended, the daughters having with
drawn the will of 1872 and allow the
will of 1871 to be set up. Ida l.. and
Gabrielle Greeley sent their counsel a
letter to this effect last week, preferring
to receive less of Mr.. Greeley's estate
than to continue contest over their IA
theirs grave. The estate we are glad to
see it stated, proves to be larger than first
reports, and while the girls have shown
excellent common sense and propriety
in this matter, we wish as much might
be said of some others who appear to
have bounced upon the great journalists

there was no possible chance for the con.

Ice Gorge.

Some damage was done by water even
during the brief thaw of Jan. 18th, at
White River Village and valley, and
efforts are now being made to break up
the ice jam at White River junction, to
prevent further damage in the spring or
at the next thaw. The situation is thus
described by the Lebanon, IN. H. Free
Press:
"a novel sight may now be witnessed
at White River Junction The freshet
of Jan. 18th carried the ice out of White
River, one of the largest tributaries of
the Connecticut, and emptying into the
! latter at White River junction. This
ice became choked up about a mile be-
low the junction in the Connecticut,
making dam and causing this immense
mass of ice and water to set back two
miles or more in the Connecticut, and
up the White River as far as White
spectacle, forcibly reminding one of arct-
River Village. 1t forms magnificent
ic scenes described by Hayes and Kane.
There are five long and costly bridges,
(railroad and highway on the two riv-
ers, within the space thus packed with
ice. The destruction of these was almost
certain, should this ice remain and an
other crop oft come down in the spring
freshets
The water is nearly level with the top
of the dam at White River Village, and
not only are the extensive manufacto-
ries of E. w. & E. Morris, and French
q Co., forced to stand still. but, with
other property are likely to be destroyed
unless the ice is dislodged. The
Messrs. Morris, becoming acquainted
with the properties of the dualin, were
convinced that by its use the dam could
be broken up, and the rivers cleared.
Accordingly they employed ]. W. Cleav-
land, Esq, Superintendent of the Cop
per mines at Copperas Hill, VT, to su-
perintend the job, and began work with
about dozen hands Monday morning.
The first two days progress was slow,
and the prospect discouraging, but on
Wednesday the grit of Mr. cleveland
and the Messrs. Morris triumphed. A
breach was fairly effected, and an ad-
vance of 16 rods was made up the stream.
Thursday the progress was much greater
and it is certain that in few days the
river channels will be open and this i'm
mense mass of ice sent on its way to
the sea, broken so as to do no damage.
This dualin is wonderful substance.
1t is handled with impunity, and the
cartridges may even be burned in the
hand without danger; yet, when con-
fined, its power is immense. They are
fred by battery and wire from a con-
venient distance, and at each discharge
large masses of ice move down stream.
The water has already fallen quite per-
ceptibly at the dam at White River
Village"

Senator Pomeroy seems to be the
worst used up man just now, from the
exposure of his efforts to bride members
of the Kansas legislature to re-elect
him. The new democratic Senator just
elected in Missouri is also in trouble,
charges of bribery having been prefe-
ed, and an investigation is now being
made, and already it has been proved
that large sums of money were used to
secure his election, but no direct bribery
has yet appeared.

CORN USED FOR FUEL.

A correspondent in Nebraska, writes
us that they had big snow storm the
first week in January, and very cold
weather; unusually cold for that State,
the thermometer settling to 81 degrees
below zero, but no such disasters as those
in Minnesota are reported.
Another correspondent writes us from
Nebraska, Jan. 80, at Papillion, tnat the
crops were very abundant there the past
season "and you naturally enough sup
pose we could all get rich here, with
such crops, but prices of grain are so
low that farmers are not much more
than making living. Wheat is
worth 80 cents to LOO, oats Is cents,
fax seed 100, potatoes 80 cents and
corn 16 cents in the ear, or 20 cents
shelled; and / suppose it would seem a
little odd to you Yankees to see corn
consumed for fuel, but thousands OF
bushels will be thus used in Nebraska
the present winter, many families use
nothing else"

A Terrible Earthquake.
500 LIVES LOST.

ATHENS, Greece, Feb. 3d.-A terrible
earthquake has occurred at the Island OF
Samos, causing great destruction of prop
eaty and loss of life.
CALCUTTA, India, Feb. Am earth
quake has occurred at the city of Lehree,
in the territory of Soinde, attended by a
heavy destruction of human life. The
disaster overlook the city so suddenly
and unexpectedly that escape was I'M
possible On the first alarm the inhabi-
tants rushed from their houses into the
streets, where many met their deaths
from falling buildings, while those who
despised the warning and remained with
in were in many instances burned among
the ruins of their own dwellings. 1t is
estimated that upwards of five hundred
persons persisted by the calamity. Large
numbers of animals were also engulphed
by the earthquake. A great part of the
city is now in ruins. The earthquake
extended over large tract of country,
being distinctly felt at towns many miles
distant from Lehree. The. inhabitants
of the latter place, after the first convul
sion was over, took their movables and
fled to the mountains. The houses tot
tered and fell in ruins, blocking up the
streets and killing men and animals in
their fall.

be taught in our schools, that it was a
healthy exercise, tina. the Germans who
are educated in music, rarely have con-

the Boston schools, and is not an expert

MAKING ASSURANCE DoUBLY SURE.
The Pennsylvania Assembly passed a
resolution on Wednesday providing that
no intoxicating liquors shall be kept or
drank in the House. Afterward a Sec
ond resolution was passed, ordering all
bottles, except those containing ink, to
be removed from the cloak-room. Under
this twofold provision it may certainly
be hoped that the Pennsylvania legisla-
tors will be able to preserve tolerably
clear head and steady gait. Ink as a
beverage, cannot be either pleasant or
intoxicating; and the cloak.room will
very likely be less place of resort here
after than it has been.
