ECKHART, JANUARY -, 1873.
The Baptist congregation Ii this
place have lately held serie. ofiatcr-
esting meetings under the charge of
Rev. Dr. NELSON, of Washington, d. c.
The church was filled each evening
with an appreciative audience, who
listened with marked attention to the
forcible and convincing arguments set
forth by this eminent divine. A
number Of persons went forward and
asked the prayers Of the church, who
were subsequently converted and re-
ceived as candidates for baptism,
which ordinance will be administered
as soon as convenient.
As bad been announced the meet
ings were closed on Sunday evening
when Dr.. NELSON preasched his fare
we'll sermon in which he exhorted the
church TO greater activity. At the
close Of his remarks the shaking OF
hands in christian fellowship was IN
dulged in a feeling manner, after
which the bonediction was pronoun
ced and the meeting was closed which
we hope, was not only interesting, bus
Instructive and profitable 70 all.

A REMINDER OF BULL RUN.-The inaugu-
ration demonstration has one peculiar fea'
ture-the military predominates. Atal other
inaugurations the Philadelphia fremen made
the feature. What connection the Philadel-
phia 6remen had with Inauguration always
puzzled the will and COMPOUNDED the under
standing. This time the liremen succumb to
the soldiery. We have not only the cadets
from West Point, and are to have the incipi-
ent Jack Tars from Annapolis, but all the in
dependent volunteers able to pay half fare
are here in force. The Stanton Guards and
the Washington Rihemen and other local or
CARNATIONS are all the time welcoming the
Bungtown Bugles, the Boston Bucktails, or
Noodetoosy Sharpshooters, and their gay,
fancy uniforms, remind Inc of the sunny af-
ternoon when, Oh q ridge of Bull Run, | saw

dressed his Excelency. The colored
brother was tiled with thanktulness. He
thanked God for everything, but espc-
ctaly for our Chief Magistrate. The pious
delegation evidently thought our excel

providence, as it were. His EXcellency has
imprint6d on his intellectual countenance
perpet,al expression of bore. On this occasion
it deepcned into one intense bore, and, with
his heavy dead eyes fixed on the speaker,

lar bill which Conductor Mckinney took
from stranger on the owl train between
New Haven and that city, more than year
ago, is still on deposit to Mr.. Mckinney's
credit at one of the city banks. The interest
has amounted to over 800. 1t will be re-
membered that the conductor, when the bill
was handed him, passed on, saying he would
change it when he had gone through the
train. When be returned the man denied
having presented q thousand-dollar bill. He
was probably thief, gave the money by
mistake. and was afraid to rectify it. At all

Several months ago Isaac Hyde, Il young
negro man, who had been convicted of lar
ccny and sentenced TO ten months confne-

while out with the chain-gang at work OH
the streets. Nothing had been heard of him
since until he turned up Monday night in
Baskerville robbing a meat-house. He was
caught IN .Fa9rante dclictu, and was brought
to the city yesterday and returned to his old
quarters.

clse.
| Between and 6 o'clock yesterday evening
an alarm of fire was given. There was much
excitement, the fire company and the hook
and-kdder company were quickly under
way, but the fire was extinguished ere they
reached the place. There seemed to be a
feeling of disappointment that there had not
been some sort of fire. 1t has been so long,
YOU see, since there has been real fire here,
or anything TO get up a real, genuine case OF
excitement.
