RyH FAREWELL SERMoN.-ltev. j. L.
Rossiter, who has been pastor OF the
Reformed Church of this town for the
past four years, delivered his farewell
sermon on Sunday morning last, to a
large congregation. His sermon was
an able and affectionate one, and dur
ing the delivery many of the congrega-
ton were brought to tears. MIR. Kos
sitter has accepted unanimous call
from the First Reformed Church, OF
Baltimore, and has entered upon his
pastoral duties, but he has not as yet
removed his family. The different
congregations, and citizens generally,
of this town, regret the departure OF so

vine, and he has their well wishes for
his future prosperity.

In the express car there was large
amount of freight, including three safes
filled with money and valuables. The
express matter was entirely consumed,
including the contents of the safes,
which were at white heat when they
were dragged from the wreck. As the
way bills were burned, the officers Of
the company do not know the extent
of their loss, but have telegraphed to
Washington for duplicates. The sum
of 81, 100, 900 in currency was 50 badly
burned that it was found necessary to
order it returned to the Treasury.
In reference to the funeral, the
Washington Chronicle says:-
The funeral of T. II. Fayman,

collision at Bennings station, took
place Sunday afternoon, last from the
residence of his parents, No. 7l3 Rhode
Island avenue, and was attended by a
large circle offrends and acquaintance,
by whom he was universally respected
and beloved. The services, which were
unusually impressive, were conducted
by Rev. J. G. Butler, of the Memorial
Church, assisted by Rev. 5. Domer, of
the English Lutheran Church, both OF
whom made brief eulogies on the de-
ceased. The remains were inferred at
Glenwood Cemetery, eight of bis brother

SAVING Is WEALTH.

One great cause of the poverty of the
present day is the failure Of our COM
mon people to appreciate small things.
They do not realize how daily addi-
ton, be it ever so small, will soon make
a large pile. If the young men and
young women of to-day will only begin,
and begin now, to save little from
their earnings and plant it in the soil OF
some good savings bank, and weekly or
monthly add their mite, they will wear
happy smile OF countenance when
they reach middle life Not only tie
desire but the ability TO increase it will
also grow.
Let clerk and tradesman, laborer and
artisan, make now and at once a begin
ming. Store up some Of your youthful
force and vigor for future contingency.
Let parents teach their children to be-
gin early to save. Begin at the foun
tain head to control the stream OF eX
travagance-to choose between poverty
and riches. Let our youth go Oh in
habits of extravaganza for fifty years
TO come as they have for fifty years
past, and we shall have nation OF beg
gars, with moneyed aristocracy. Let
generation of such as save i'll small
sums be reared, and we shall be free
from all want. Do not be ambitious
Tor extravagant fortune, but do seek
that which is the duty of every one to
obtain, independence and comfortable
home. Wealth, and enough of it, is
within the reach of all. 1t is obtained
by one process, and by one only-sav-
ing.

Sundays intervening between the jubi-
lee of Epiphany and the solemn fast of

ress under the supervision of the War
Department since August last, has just

a CARD.

John H. little, Esq.-Dear Sir
Permit ME, through the columns OF the
Register, to give expression to the emo
lions of my heart, in thousand thanks,
to the people of Bridgeport, and the
gallant officers and members of the Poto-
mac Fire Co. of Shepherdstown, who sue
ceeded nobly in resisting the flames,
and in extinguishing the fire, and saved
nv boats, on the c.. & o. Canal, or so
much of them as were saved And
this heart, this enthusiastic heart will
expand in this breast, when being re-
minded of that brave young man who
stood upon the burning deck, calling
aloud for water, while the ''hatches
were burning all around him, and IL
nally leaping into the hull and succeed
ing in extinguishing the fire. And,
sir, permit me modestly, say modest
~, because must use the gentleman
name, L. w. Potfenberger, who was
the man who lost sight of self, and was
heard to exclaim, at the top of his
voice, to the Potomac Fire Company,
''Save Sherman's boats, they are new
and valuable, let mine go, it is an old
boat" Friend Lawson, thy name has
found the road to my heart, and may it
ever dwell therein and may We boat
men live and boat together in better
days, and see better times long after
such devils who burn boats may have
been brought to Judgment in IIagers-
town, and there receive their rewards,
and have full measure dealt out to them,
and there be consigned to that judge
who will know what to do with all such
stock.
Your friend and servant till death,
OLIVER SHERMAN.

EL~ FIRE ON THE T.. ~ ". CANAL-
BOATS BURNED.-On Saturday morning
last, the 9th inst, about o'clock, the
cry of fire was raised through our town,
when it was discovered that three boats,
the "Adam Sherman" and "Arthur
Cropley," belonging to Mr.. Oliver Sher-
man, and the &c. w. Harper" belong
inc to Mr. Lawson w. Pofenberger,
lying in the G. & o. Canal, at Bridge
port, opposite this town, were in flames
The Potomac Fire Company OF this
town, and number Of other citizens,
were soon on the spot, and extinguishcd
the flames, but not until the boats were
nearly destroyed. 1t is said that MIR.
Shermans loss is about one thousand
dollars, and the loss to Mr.. Poffenber-
ger about five hundred dollars. The
fire was the result of an incendiay, and
Mr.. S., as will be seen by ar advertise
ment in this issue, offers reward Of
$500 for any information that will lead
to the conviction OF the party or parties
who set fire to the boats. We also
learn that the boat al G. Windship,'
belonging to Mr. George Dixon, lying
in the Canal, Fear the Ore Bank, near
Harpers Ferry, was set OH fire and
burned on the same morning. The
boat "lIorace Eessley," was also set on
fire and burned, Oh Monday night last,

pgr There is probably no man in the
United States worthy the name OF an
American, who does not feel more or
less Indignation over the spectacle pre-
scented by the forcible expulsion OF GER
tain conservative members of the Legls-
lature of Louisiana by military forces OF
the United States. There is no doubt
that the Louisiana conservatives elected
a great majority of the Legislature in
November last. The returning board
threw out the returns from certain pre-
cincts on grounds which were in most
of the cases frivolous, and even then,
through the non appearance OF some OF
the members upon whom they had cal
culated, there was left q conservative
majority Of two. Then the army OF the
United States was called in, and sutfi-
cient number of conservative members
forcibly elected by the armed soldiery
of the United States to answer the pur-
pose of the cheaters and defrauders OF
the Louisiana people.
