HEADING OFF THE CUMMISs MOVEMENT
There is said to be movement on foot in the
Episcopal Church to head off the Cummins
Church, and nip it in it's incipiency, by &C.
cepting the issues it presents and thus taking
from Il thr 4 ~ which it seeks nourisf ment.
We have noticed a number Of articles on the
subject but the one most directly to the point
is the t0IoTir, trom the Philadelphia Led0.

MORALS are kept for signatures at all the rel
gtous book repositories that are in sympathy
with those views. The high church people
however. appear to attach but little importance
TO it, and say nothing will come of it"

Episcopal Congress, held also iu New York

REV. THOMAS GUARD SUDDENLY OVER
TAKEN BY A SAD MISFORTUNE. On Thursday
last Rev. Thomas Guard, the eloquent Irish
minister of Baltimore, but well known in this
State, was overtaken with a sad misfortune at
Seaford, in Sussex co. In the afternoon he
had preached a most able discourse at the
Hurlock's Union camp meeting, in Dorchester
county, in which he exerted himself to weari-
ness, and besides was excessively warm at its
close. On taking his seat he famed himself
vigorously, and it is thought this cause super
induced the misfortune which befel him-the
sudden loss of his sight.
Late in the afternoon Mr.. Guard left the
camp ground tor Seaford, intending to take the
train north on the Delaware Railroad but after
he had lost his sight he concluded to go south
to Cris6eld and take the boat for home as
friends were going in that direction. We have
no advice Of his restoration to sight. Ii was
surmised by the friends whom he had left tha
the blindness proceeded from paralysis of the
optic nerves. Wilmington Commercial

FRAZER RECAPTCRED.-EbenF Frazer, the
Eliason murderer, who escaped from New
Castle Jail with the bank robbers, was recap
tured at Strausburg. Pa, last Wednesday.
The Republican says he was discovered in
in Strausburg a few weeks ago, by an Old
prison bird named John Mannering. Frazer
was engaged in the photograph business,
having travelling car, and going from place to
place. Mannering met him and at different
times procured money from him, and pretended
to be his friend. His opportunities, how
ever. became 50 frequent as TO exhaust the
patience of Frazer. and on failing to receive
the required stipend he informed gentleman
named j. II. Hickey. Of Frazer escape from
prison. Hickey thinking that a reward had
been offered for his arrest, telegraphed the
facts to Sheriff Armstrong and received in
response an order to arrest him which was
accordingly done, and the prisoner was placed
in Jail at Lancaster. Officers went from New
Castle and brought him on last Wednesday
and paced him in his old quarters. Frazer
has gone by the name Of Williams. and had
been in Baltimore, Philadelphia and New Y York
as well as Lancaster county, since his escape.
The report of his being South was entirely
unfOuRded, notwithstanding the particularly
with which it was given. While in Philadelphia
a citizen from New Castle came into the room
where he was, but he escaped observation.
He states that he lived in constant tear oi
detection, and that he would nearly as soon be
in prison as to be subject to so much Dispute

to see him, and on prOpounding various ques
tions in regard to the escape of the bank prison

A MUss AMONG RAILROAD LABORERs.-
There was considerable excitement at George
town on Monday, resulting from strike Of
about two hundred laborers employed on the
Breakwater and Frankford Railroad, which
extends from Georgetown south to Frank ford,
on the Maryland line. The men, who struck
to obtain the wages due them, came from
Frankford to Georgetown, a distant OF four
teen miles, and marched to hotel where A
Y. Smith, of Pittston. Pa, the chief contrac-
tor of the road, is boarding. Here they de-
manded their wages, aud said they would hang
him if they were not paid off, illustrating the
threat by the exhibition Of rope with hang
man knot at the end. Mr.. Smith said that
he did not employ them and they must look
to Messrs. Crumlish & Co., sui. contractors,
for their money. The citizens here interfered
and procured a promise" that the wages Of
the men should be paid them in two days.
This paci6ed the men, but they threatened tC
hang some one, If the money is not forth
! coming.

The Location OF the Mountain.

The following description OF the location of the
mountain in question Is taken from the Charlotte
Observer OF Saturday,
The exact locality is not stated, though it lies in
the wild. mountainous region where Mcdowell,
Buncompe and Henderson counties come tOge tner,
in the nelghbOrhOOd OF CHIMNEY ROCK, and Almost
on direct line between kutherlordtOn and Asne-
vile, and about equidistant from either place.
There are many bald mountains N western North
Carolina, but the Bald Mountain which Is fright
ening some OF our bold mountaneers with its
deep, lrghtiui growings rears its ragged front
along the southern border OF Mcdowell county,
and where Mcdowell, Henderson, Buncombe and
Rutherford come together.

cOnfirmatory details:-
This terrible subterranean thunder has been
heard distinctly at Marion and Old Fort, distance
OF eighteen or twenty miles. CONSERVATION pre-
walls among tue inhabitants or the section Of the
country lying around Bald Mountain. The editor IS
informed by "a reliable gentleman just from the
'front.' that "an Old blockade whiskey distlier. who
had been making whskey IN contempt Of revenue
officers for hive or SIX years, heard the mumbling
OF the mountain. and, supposing the day OF judg-
ment had come, came out OF his hole ana aoan-
doued his distlllery and called IN his nelghbors to
pray Tor him. For the last several days grand
prayer meeting and revival has been going on in
the neighbornoOd OF Bald Mountain. These whlskey
sinners believe that the day OF judgment is close at

PITrsBURG, Pa, March IS, 1874
The Cambria iron mills at Johnstown, Pa, have
suspended operations entirely, and the workmen

OF wages paid them al TIE present time, ana their
