attached TO the chain, and that William
Chapman was not present and did not
help catch and kill the bear, tells "wick.

was given last Sabbath evening By the
pupils of the Sabbath School in the Con,

sisted of a report read by the secretary,
John L. Weeks, recitations from the

logues, songs, Duets, and music 10 which
all the school engaged, Frank Deming
presiding at the organ. The floral EN-.
blems by the young ladies of Mrs. James
Thomas's class were very beautiful, rep.
resentipg Jacobs ladder, shield, temper.
ancc, anchor, cross and crown, each ac-
companicd by appropriate scriptural
words. The entertainment was deserving
of special notice in its success, and the
superintendent. A. NJ Evarts, may well
be proud of so fine a school.
q. A. Thomas, ID. d., Of Brandon, oc.
cupied the pulpit Sabbath morning in
exchange with Rev. l.. G. Partridge, and
preached with his usual acceptance. 4

The Galleries ut the Capitol.

Writes Grace Greenwood to the New York

Republican creed:
The PniIanthropic alusion of MIR. Cox to
the colored patriots, sitting uniformly 10 the
galleries, suggests question which somebody
ought to consider and act upon, and that some
b ,dy should beS the Senate or the House OF
REPRESENTATIVES. 1t is, shall men and boys
however we'll colored, but ragged to the point
of iud2ceucy, and dirty to absolute flthluess,
continue to eniJg the freedom Of the galleries?
They now make them their louDglng and rest
ing places. Some of these habtues are famous
slccpcrS Even When the rights and privileges,
aud wrongs and disabilities of their own race
are under discussion, sonnoeucy ovcrcomes

about by this dark cloud OF Obvious Witnesses,
who sometimes pend the entire night, especl-

Now, the question Isl should the Senate Cham
Der be used as station house tor ragrants,
however ineritorous, and tatterdemallons, how.

lively sense OF propriety, and not having the
franchise, seldom visit the Capitol, except in
their Sunday best, and they generally manage
10 have Sunday best; yet saw the other day,

elderly colored aundresses, who evidently did
not do their own washing, neither did they put
