BRINGING 4 GOD TO TERM,

A missionary in Shanghai, China,
tells US how the people gave then
Idol lesson. The idol was little
gilt figure, about six inches high. Uie
position was on a little table surround
ed by tall candles. Before the idol
was placed another table with ten e.
egant bowls, scarcely larger than our
teacups, filled with the choicest fruits
and grains that the market afforded.
just then the country being in great
want Of rain, the priests were trying
the coaxing process, and tempting the
god with the best chow chow to lie
had. The next day they got out Of
patience, and were to be met parading
him through the dusty streets for the
purpose Of giving him to understand
that the heat was quite IS dlsagrecable
as they had represented it.
They say that JOSS, in his cool tenn
pie, laughs at them, and is disposed to
think that they are hulnbugglug him;
therefore, if they give him two or
three hours skin-roastlng in the sun,
he will be much more likely to come
to terms, to avoid repetition Of the
process. AS they do this every day
until rain comes, Of course, if they are
patient, it never fails in the end. How
great is the folly Of heathenism!

CIVIL RIGHTS IN HUNTINGTON

CIVIL RIGHTS IN HUNTINGTON
Between the white and colored ra-
ees in this city, as general thing, 4
very good state offeeling has existed,
and except among the lowest Of both
races, there is seldom any dispute.
On Monday last however, some dis
reputable negroes determined to try
their hands at kicking up fuss, un-
der the Civil Rights law. Three OF
them, who are residents of town,
went to Jones Hotel, after the regu
lar dinner hour. and demanded din
ner. in an impatient manner. Mr..
Jones told them they could not have
it They we're very impudent and he
told them il they didn't get out of his
house he would kick them out, so they
got" From there they went to the
Merchants Hotel; Mr.. Scranage was
moi at horne, but when they demand
ed dinner, Mr.. Rider, the clerk, told
them they could have it, If they paid
in advance. aud went into the ki,ch
en- to ea; It, as the regular table Mas
cleared away. They refused to com

they went into the bar room and ask

but he must have the pay in advance
They asked the price and he told
them zone dollar a drink" They
refused to pay that and went out
again Directly one OF them went
back with a dollar note i'll his hand
and asked for a drink of that dollar
whisky The Clerk ted him be
must pay in advance, but he reiu-
sed and became very impudent and
threatening, till the clerk reached for
his revolver and told him if he did
not get out of there he would blow Il
no e thronga him, so he got again.
They then went to Esquire EnslOS
and wanted warrants for Jones and
Rider, but were told that their CA
ses must 90 before a U. S. Officer.
They told the Squire that a white
man had told them that he could give
them a warrant if he chose to.
The thing showed plainly that it
was put up job, and that these men
had been instigated by some evil dis
posed person to get up a prosecution

Mrs. Fry made the address in the
morning. Her face and voice were
pleasant she was entirely unem-
barrassed, and spoke with the air OF
one having something to say and who
said it in few aud well chosen words.
Her address made very pleasant
impression on the mind of her hear
ers. In the evening both ladies spoke;
Miss BOYD is more didactic in her
manner than Mrs Fry, She endeav-
ored 10 convince the ladies that they
ought to devote the expense of some
of the redundant portions of their
dress to the spread Of the gospel.
Al thetlose of the address, a Woman's
Missionary Society was formed, the
members of which are pledged to
give two cents per week, or One dol
lars per year TO the cause of Missions.
Mrs. Bishop was elected President,
Mrs. Durham, Corresponding Secre-
tary, Mrs Adams, Recording Score
tary, and Mrs. Sprinkel, and others
Vice Presidents.

The Iron Works NJ West
Charleston.

Although only abou, three years old,
West Charlie ston is bidding fair to he
come large manufacturing city. Two
Saw and Planning Mills, Stove Foun-
dry and Machine Shop, a Pump Facto-
~, two Barrel Factories, besides several
other industries, including large To-
bacco Warehouse, are already in opera
tioI here, and now the Kanawha Iron
Company are putting up their works,
with the expectation OF having them in
operation in June next.
Not only is West Charleston to have
an Iron works. but preparations are
also being made by the same Company
to erect Friedrich " orfs, thus utili-
ling a six-feet vein of tire-clay, distant
only few yards, which is one Of the
finest seams vet found in the west.
The number of men employed about
work Of this character. in mining ores,
lime stone, &c, and in other ways, will
scarcely fall short Of five hundred, and
mnst increase the population of West
Charleston at least two Or three thous-
and.
Not satisfied with encouraging the in
PRODUCTION of manufactures by every
means, the principal owners of West
Charleston are offering even greater in
ducemenis to private purchasers. Well
drained and level lots in the immediate
vicinity Of the Iron works, are sold for
SlI5, on SEVEN YEARS TINE that is, in
order to purchase lot which in few
years will be worth from $500 to 81 600,
one has to make payments at the rate of
seven cents a day. The title is abso,
Iutely perfect. These prices and terms
are perhaps the most liberal ever offered
in any town. to say nothing Of rapidly
growing place sucl as West Charleston,
The company are selling houses and
lots to parties, guaranteeing to them
steady work, and applying portion Of
each weeks wages to pay for them, so
that one may get steady work at good
prices, a house and lot, and enough cash
to keep him while paying for them.
With its surrounding wealth of coal,
iron, lumber and salt, and the impetus
given to manufactures by its citizens,
there is no Western town with brighter
prospects than Charleston, and but a
short tine must eIapsc before it takes
the first rank among the manufacturing
cities in West Virginia To persons
who are looking around for growing
town in which to locate, it offers great
inducements.

TRAGIC OCCURRENCE on New
RIvER.-Some parties from New
York and Ohio have lately started a
Saw mill on New river near Cotton
Hill. On Sunday last FIVE of the men
employed there, named John Thack
cray, Peter King and Hugh Swope
of Ohio; G.. B. Hazlett of Pennsyl
vania, and J. MGuire of New York,
undertook to cross the river in a boat
thew had lately built. After getting
ont into the river the water being
high and current swift they lost COM
mand of the boat and seemed to
lose their presence Of mind. The boat
drifted down the river until it struck a
rock and upset. Four ofthe men disap-
peared i'm neliately; the other one
chung to the boat until it drifted about
two miles when he was washed off and
disappeared too. Their bodies have
not been recovered
There was no boat near at hand
by which they could be rescued. and
no swimmer could live in that cur
rent.
