RELGIoUS.-The prctracted meeting
held at Trinity Church, and which COM
menced on last Friday week, termina-
ted on Friday afternoon. after a season
of happicst results to the church and
the people of that section of country.
1t was our great pleasure to attend the
last days meeting and witness the in
terest taken in it by the large congre-
cation who We're in attendance, and
which we were told was even smaller
in number than it had been on any pre-
vious day since the meeting began
The Rev. Manning Brown preached
very effective sermon in the morn
ING, and the Rev. Mark Boyd followed
iu the afternoon, on both of which oc-
casionS there We're mourners at the al
tar. Thcexample of the people Of that
neighborhood is worthy Of mention rs
well rs of imitation, the religious ele-
ment largely preponderating. They
are a generous, happy, kind people,
and the brief visit paid them on that oc-
casion was full of unmixed satisfaction.
The Rev. J. L. Shuford, pastor in
charge, informs us that there were
twenty-five accessions to the church,
and as many conversions. He COM
menced another protracted meeting at
Tranquil Church on Saturday, and it is
hoped like results will follow.
One other mention in connection with
the Trinity people. and that is, that they
hav. one of the largest lodges Of Good
Templars in the County, it numbering
between eighty and ninety. 1t is no
wonder then that the church Is in so
healthy condition.

CIR FRANN.-On Tuesday afternoon
the ltl, as the last rays Of the declining
sun I@hted up the horizon, sank OH
darling boy Frank into the rest of death
-&nd The sufferings of two weeks We're
al over. 1t was fitting moment for
one SO tender. so bright, so beautiful to
wing his angel flight to the upper and
bet.or world while the countless stars of
hes:cn were being lighted. Our beaul-
tifl' boy, oh the agony Of that moment,
bat Gods will be done. We would
no oAtrude our griefs upon the public,
BIZ. little Frank, curly headed, bright
eyc0, impulsive, afectionate Frank.
W.; known far and near, and beloved
w:.rrcrer known, and we cannot for
bear this little tribute. How gently
ani Sweetly the rest after his pains and
sunrrings. How tenderly beloved, and
how much missed.
Tie experience of those two weeks
w::s the saddest we have ever known
so many sick at one and the same time
the hopes of the morning dashed by the
mis%vy of the evening, each day and
MINT making its own trying history,
and then the sad elimination in the
death of one Of the number. But all
NJ. better now-even he who has been
claimed by the angel reaper. His
bright eyes will never more be dimmed
b. sorrows tears. Our loss is his gain.

Was the Levee Cut ?-Great Damage
Feared.
MEMPHIS, April 10.-Oficers of the
steamer 4. j. White bring additional infor-
nation concerning the erevssse at Hush
puchany. 1t is the opinion of planters there
that the levee was cut Wednesday, either
by raftsmen or persons living on the west
side of the river TO relieve them from the
threatened overflow. The crevasse is a
hundred yards wide and water is pouring
through. Attempts were made yesterday to
repair the levee, but il was found imposSi-
bic to check the volume of water. This
levee is one of the largest on the river, hav-
ing a base Of 500 feet and an average height
of twenty. Some twelve plantations are al
ready threatened, and it is feared immense
damage will be done in the Sunflower, Tai
lachee and YazOO bottoms.
