mac, near the Cement Mill, below town.
Soon after throwing In his line, he
thought he had bite. So he pulled
away in confident expectation OF the
biggest sort of bass. He pulled and
he pulled. Presently he drew some
thing big, black and heavy to the sur
face of the water and found that he had
captured a minnie rifle which doubt
less had belonged to one of the Yankees
whom A. p. Hill had driven over the
cliffs at that point into the river in the
fight after the battle of Antietam. This
was certainly astrangeGsh. Wewonderif

Weir disappeared, and his stock sold
out by the Sheriff Shortly afterward
it was discovered that Weir, although
without capital, had fraudulently OBJ.
tanned from several merchants in the
city goods valued at between $4,000
and $50, 900, and that Weir and Rouss,
of Rouse, Bell & Co., were old friends,
and that Weir's job to obtain goods by
false pretenses bad been suggested and
operated by Rouss. Weir was subse.
quently arrested in Philadelphia under
the name of John Elliot, and on being
brought to this city, admitted his guilt,
stated thst he had given Rouss fIaudu.
lent confessed judgments, and that the
greater portion of the goods obtained
were sold by Rouss, on whose sugges-
ton he acted. Quantities of the goods
fraudulently obtained by Weir were
discovered in the stores of Rouss, Bell
Il Co., and an indictment for grand
larceny and receiving stolen goods was
yesterday found against Charles b.
Rouss and William J. Bell. The ac-
cused were arrested and taken to the
district attorneys Office, where they
were committed to the Tombs without
bail.

due to my people at ShepherdstowI
that I should say word in regard L
nv soiourn and departure The impress
sion soon gets abroad when minister
is about to leave a charge that he Is
compelled by either inefficiency on his
part to discharge his duties aceeptaoly,
or some defect on the part of his PEG
pie. to leave and seek another field. |
am proud to be able to say that such is
i, not the case with us. / never served a
letter people, and the Virginia Synod
has no better charge within her bounds.
And l never left a people with pro
founder regret both on their part and
mine.
l have received from them nothing
but kindness. And though | came
here three and halt years ago, having
never seen face in Jefferson county, l
leave scores and scores of devoted
friends among all the religious denomi
nations. Two weeks ago preached
my farewell sermon at Unionville to
crowded house of weeping friends
Last Sunday bid farewell to my church
in town and parted with over five hun
dred worshippers, among whom If have
an enemy know it NOT. Sad indeed
ere such partings. On Sunday night
the Y. Nj. C. Association of our town
gave me farewell meeting, which was
very interesting and solemn, and was
attended by about 600 persons.
We have labored together in friend
ship and affection, and part in love and
concord.
The ladies of this charge deserve
special mention. | never knew more
noble band of workers than they are.
They have not only furnished the par
sonage by their own industry, but the
large proportion ofthe $500 paid on
church property since my sojourn with
them has been secured through their
efforts.
No one has yet been secured as my
successor. Several are in view The coun-
Gil have resolved to invite a very distin-
guished brother to supply the pulpit
one Sunday that the congregation may
hear him. He has signified a willing,
ness to entertain call. If he should
be called and accept, the Southern
church will lay itself under lasting OBJ
legations to me for getting out OF the
way.
/ leave in few days for my new
field of labor, from which shall be hap
Ply to write occasionally.
