A SINGULAR scene is said to have oc-
curred in the Calvary Episcopal church,
Chicago, Sunday week The Rev ia
son F. Walker, the pastor, says the ac-.
count, was observed by the congrega-
tion to be in i'll health, and to conduct
the service in a particularly feeble man
ner. Finally, when he came to the ser
mon, he broke completely down, and, TO
the amazement of the congregation, and
not a little to their chagrin, announced
that allthat he had had to eat and drink
during that aud the previous day had
been bread and butter and tea, and that
when he should go home after service
was over he would not feel certain of
finding even that much. The sensation
produced, says the account, is indescrib-
able MANY Of the congregation got up
and went away, smarting under the re-
buke Which Mr.. Walkers confession of
starvation administered to them, and
those who remained poured forth enough
invitations to last Mr. Walker every
Sunday in the year conld he have ac-
cepted them cousecutiNely This recital
will bring up unpleasant reflections in
the minds of many of our readers who
have in times past listened to the im-
FASHIONED oratory of this eloquent
scholar He has been well known i'll
this county as successful teacher, a
learned lecturer on geology and kindred
subjects, and as an eloquent preacher,
though when with MS his religious no.
tions were q little cratic We believe
he was at first a Methodist and was at
tached to the Troy conference for
while, and was tried by that denomina-
ton for heresy or something of that
kind afterwards he preached as hber-
al free thinker, sometimes ministering
to the Universalist, sometimes to the
Spiritualist, but attracting everybody by
his earnestness and scholarly research.
Several years ago he went west and
united his fortunes with the Episcopal
church, and was reputed to be giving
great satisfaction to that denomination,
and we regret that any laborer in the
Masters service should be allowed to
face starvation until he was unable to
| proceed farther in his work. Unless
there is some further explanation to be
made of this case, the Calvary Episcopal
church of Chicago is in bad odor as
Christian body.

Destruction.
Simeon Bassett, the man who has
made himself notorious this summer by
sailing up and down the lake in ''fioat-
ing battery" selling liquor to the work
men on the New York and Canada rail-
road has met with violent death. The
circumstances connected with the affair,
as near as can be ascertaiued, arc as fol-
lows
Bassett had been requested, by the
men who had patronizcd him, to give up
the business, as they could not resist the
temptation to purchase liquor and use it
when it was within reach of them Not
needing their request, the oycrseers on
the railroad then notified Bassctt that
unless he abandoned the business and
cleared out, they should take measures
to close up his business Bassett replied
that he would stake the hearts b2ood Of
any one who interfered with his bust
ness" Last Friday, the oath inst, Bas-
sett left his boat on the Putnam side Of
the lake, in charge of his brother, and
came over to Samuel Bryan's in Benson.
During his absence aparty OF men rowed
'up to the boat and, as the brother in
Charge of the institution showed him
self they caught hold of him, took him
out and brought him on shore. They
then took out several guns, pistols, etc,
and set ire to the craft and burned ii
with what liquor there was on board.
About this time Bassett was returning
by way of the Hunt lot, and discovered
his boat on fire He took boat belong
ing to Arunah Walker and went over TO
the scene of action, and rowing up with
in twenty feet OF the party of men near
the burning boat, he said, witha terrible
oath, that he would S'teach them not to
burn his. property" and fired six pistol
shots at them, WheFeupon. some one dis
charged shot gun at him. the contents
striking him in the legs, and one shot en-
teriug the body and piercing the bladder.
They then let the brother 60, and he
took Rassett to the tired house" at the
Bryan place, where he fingered till sun
day morning last, when be died.
Bassett is the same man who sold
liquor to James Parsons, about four
weeks ago, IN consequence of which
Parsons got intoxicated and fell into the
lake and was drowned. Bassett halls

used in this. business was n large yawl
with small cabin. A, s. Bartholomew,
