On board the steamboat w. &. Pike
yesterday evening, coming from New
Orleans, we had the pleasure of max
ing the acquaintance of j. R. Jolley.
Esq, the good locking and iovial edi-
tor of the Attakapas Register and one
of the special agents of Uncle SANS
postal department. Mr.. Jolley is one
OF those unostentatious officials who
perform their duties quietly yet eff
ficiently, and seek not the fulsome
praise of the newspapers for doing
that which they are employed and
paid to do, and his courteous. gentle
manly department. makes him a host
of friends wherever he goes. Such
men are credit to the governmental
service and to the journalistic profess
sion.
Another model unassuming official
is our genial friend o. H. Hemnstead
Esq, mail agent ON the Pike. He too
gives careful attention to his duties
anu courteous treatment to all with
whom he comes in contact, and though
we rarely find his name figuring in a
nalf-column puff for having sent some
enthusiastic editor o copy of last
weeks Times, yet there are few men
more deserving of commentator.

practicable reduction of seven mills

PLYMOUTH PRAYER MEETING,
Brother Hill Critictses the Reporters and
Pm ises Plymouth People and PASTORS.

Brother Hill Criticises the Reporters and
Praises Plymouth People and Pastors.
Assistant Pastor s. B. Halliday presided over the
exercises in the Plymouth lecture room last even
ing. The room was about three-fourths filled
with people. After hymn had been sung prayers
were offered by Brothers Edgerton, Hill and Sage.
Mr.. Halliday spoke briefly on spiritual minded
ness. Brother Hill then rose and said that false
reports of the proceedings In the meeting OF last
Friday evening had gone forth, and out OF all the
accounts he saw In the newspapers hardly one
gave O correct version OF the dOings. He was
glad to see that the people had controlled them
seve so WE'LL and It seemed to MIN that the spirit
OF God must nave been with them. He did not be.
lieve that there were 5000 people in any other
place who could have so controlled themselves.
As Tor their beloved pastor he was very dear TO
them, and now the question for them to determine
was, what the Lord wished them to do to show
their gratitude to Him. They should pledge them
selves to work more earnestly than they haa
done, and begin anew Brief addresses were also
delivered by Brothers Garven and White, and the
proceedings closed with the Denedction.

FERROUS death on Monday, August a. OF Nelson
Butler. Mrs. Butler. his wife. German woman,
has, it is said, been receiving the attentions OF
gentleman friend, to the neglect of her husband,
who has long been sick; and from the fact that
she borrowed quantity OF arsenic the week previ-
Gus, that she refused to allow a post-mOrtem when
requested, and that, 10 company with this friend,
she removed to New London Immediately after the
funeral, suspicious OF loul play are entertained.
The Selectment OF Chatham, hearing OF these
things. had the body dfsinterred on Monday OF this
week, and Doctors Johnson and Atwater, OF Yves.
leyan University, this city, have since been en-
gagged analyzing the stomach They find that,
while all the other organs OF the body were In
healthy condition. the stomach disclosed unmistak-
ably the presence OF substances not usually found
there after death. This development tends to
strengthen the suspicion. Steps VIII be taken to
further investigate the subject.
