WHEN A FATHER HAS A RIGHT To
THRASH HIS DAUGHTERS BEAU.--In
the County Court this week 5ffu case of
Joe Harris, a respectable colored man of
Greenville, charged with disturbing a re-
hgious meeting, was tried. 1t appeared
that Harris had forbidden colored youth
named Weller waiting on his daughter,
and one Sunday morning last June was
more than astonished to see him walk in
the colored church there with her. In
deed. he was so much surprised that he
called the young man outside of the
church and thrashed him right there, a
proceeding that excited the congregation
to the extent of breaking up the meeting.
The jury, under the mistaken impression
that if they fined Harris atall it would
have to be 800, and thinking that too
much, acquitted him.

THE RESIGNATION OF REV. VIM. E.
BAKER, Sunday morning last one OF
the largest congregations ever assembled
in the Presbyterian Church gather ed there
in view of the expected reading of letter
from the pastor, relative to his resi- gna-
ton of that position. Rev. Mr.. Murray,
who conducted the service on that day :,
read the following communication from
the pastor:
Grinding that the recent petition to
Presbytery for the forming Of a new
church in this place, is regarded by the
public as a demonstration unfriendly to
himself
Your pastor, not because doubtful of
your good feeling, SO abundantly mani
| tested, but in order to extricate himself
| from the false position in which he has
been placed, unintentionally, as he be-
| lieves, on the part Of the petitioners, feels
| it necessary to call upon you, either to
give renewed and formal assurance of
your cordial and general support and SYM
pathy, or to unite with him in a request
to Presbytery, at it's meeting on the 10Th
OF October, for a dissolution of the pas
toral relation now existing.
''And in taking this step he has acted
without conference with others, and upon
his own responsibility"
MI. Murray then read paper from Ses.
sion appointing next Sunday, after morn
ing service, for a meeting of the congrega-
ton, to act on the communication, and
announcing that members of the congre-
CATION and those who contributed to the
support of the church, would be entitled
to vote on the subject. All the petition
ers for a new church declare their inten
ton to vote for the support of Mr.. Baker
saying that they have never desired him te
.eaye the church, and so stated in tbeil
petition to PreSbyJery; their only desire
being for permission to organize another
church, for which they still intend to press
their petition.
