Rests FROM HIS LABoRs.--Rev
Theopbilus Stork, d. d., an eminon,
Lutheran divine, died in Philadelphia
on Saturday week, aged about &C
years. The Press says: He was q
native OF North Carolina, but came
north early in life, and was for many
years pastor of the churches of st
Matthew and st. Mark, in this city
He was subsequently, chosen president
of Newberry College, in South Caro-.
lima, but on the outbreak of the reoel.
lion he came North, and became pastor
of st. Marks Church, in Baltimore
He remained in Baltimore about six
years, being during half that period
editor of the Lutheran Observer. In
1868 DR.. Stork again came 10 Phila.
delphia, and assumed the pastorate Of
St Andrews church, which he held
until about two years since, when he
was compelled by i'll health to resign
the charge. AT the time Of his death
be was editor of the Lutheran Home
Monthly.

The purchase Of these orphan school

TO on tho score Of economy, none OF
the proprietors of these schools are

THE SENATE DIsGUsrED.-A Wash.
ington despatch to the Boston Globe,
speaking OF Chaplain Sunderland's
prayer over Mr.. Sumner, says: "By
special request of tho Committee OF
Arrangements, il was agreed that no
public address or sermon should be
pronounced at the exercises. AS
shown above, however, tho chaplain
of the Senate took occasion to offer q
prayer, after the reading of the Scrip
lures, wherein he injected not only q
sermon, but stump speech. 1t was
the general opinion that the chaplain
not only transgressed the bounds of
propriety, but inflicted alike upon
dead and living discourse from which
there was no escape. His prayer
continued for at least half an hour, to
the utter disgust of the entire audi
ence. The popular verdict was that
tho Senate should at once select
new chaplain. Not only was the
length of the prayer entirely out OF
place, but the tone in which it was
delivered was as affected as If it had
proceeded from common actor on the
stage"
