a New England Church in Old
a- en- Time. .--- .-.

If we could carry ourselves back to
those days, and were TO approach q
New England. village about nine o'clock
on Sunday morning, we should
hear some one beating q drum, or
sounding a horn, or blowing a Goneh
shell, or possibly ringing a bell, to call
people to worship. As we came nearer
still we should see a flag waving from
log built church or 'smeeting house. !"
Entering the village, we should see a
strong fence of stakes around this meet
ing house, and a sentinel in aFmor stand
ing near Il :; and we should see some of
the men, as they went in, leaYing their
muskets in his care We should, per-
haps, see q cannon or two planted near
the meeting house and we should also
see some strange wooden frames not far
off, these being the stocks and pillory,
put there to punish Offenders. Looking
at this church we should see that it had
very few glass Windows, and that these
had very small and thick panes, diamond
shaped, and set In leaden frames. We
should observe that the other windows
had oiled paper instead of glass and
we should see between the windows the
heads of wolves that had been killed
and displayed there during the past
year. .... ~.
If we were to look inside the little
| church, we should not see families sit
| ting together, as now, but they would
be distributed according to age, OF sex,
or rank. In those days the old men sat
| together in one place in the church, and
the young men in another, and the
| young women in another. The boys all
sat on the pulpit stairs and gallery, with
| .eonstables to guard them. Each of
these constables had q wand, with a
/ hare's foot on one end and hare's tail
!. ON the other These were to keep the
! people awake. If any woman went to
! sleep the constable touched her on the
/ forehead with the hare's tail but if a
/ small boy nodded, he was raped on the
! head with the other end, not so gently.
! No doubt the wand was often used, for
the services were sometimes three or
four hours long, the sexton turning the
| hour glass before the minister at the end
| of every hour. The only music consist
/ ed of singing by the congregation from
I metrical version of the Psalms, called
! the ebay Psalm Book. The whole
number of tunes known to the congre-
| CATION did notexceed ten; and few con-
| gregations could 60 beyond five. This
/ was the Puritan form of religious wor-
ship. And people were not allowed to
| stay at home from it,. for men called
/ tithing men were sent about the town to
look for those that were absent. Men
were fined for every unnecessary abb
senoe and, if they stayed away a
I month together, they might be put Ii
/ the stocks or in a wooden cage.-E1ig-

,JUDGING from remarks ia the papers
from the Northwest, We should think
that General Sherman will have all he
can do to keep the gold diggers out of
the Black Hills this summer. The Min
neapolis Mail says that it will take five
hundred thousand men besides chariots
and horses to make these ubiquitous adj
ventures leave the field where they ex-

The Anaerican Cardinal = How
He Must Dress.

OaFdinel hlcCloskey Is q prelate OF
great dignity of character and he is rep
resented as regretting the distinction
which he has received, and we have no
doubt OF his sincerity. II cannot be
denied that cardinal in New York will
be in very anomalous and uneomforta-
BILE position There will be nobody with
whom he can associate on equal terms.
His rank is that OF a prince, and he must
be addressed as His. Eminence. His cos
tune, which he must of necessity wear,
will subject him to constant observation.
Even in London Cardinal Wiseman
found himself unpieasantly conspicuous,
although he was surrounded by princes,
and mobiles. But Cardinal McGloslSey
will be wholly segregated from all social
surroundings and SET apart in all his
splendid trappings. he viii be 8 most
picturesque parsonage when he goes out
for an airing or To an evening party clad
in a complete suit of soarlet--eyen scar
let stockings, shoes, and hat-and the
wheels Of his carriage must correspond
in color. The "beretta,'' or broad brim-
med red hat, with its immense tassels,
which typifies the sacred Office of the
cardinal, is only worn on official 0cca-
sions and for ordinary purposes red
velvet hat, without any brim, is the US
ual head covering of an Eminence. The
Roman Catholics of New York, as well
as of all other parts of the United States,
will rejoice greatly in the dignity that
has been accorded 10 them by the Holy
Father but there will be likely to be
a feeling of jealousy on the part of the
Catholics of Mexico and of the South
American churches, that the first red
hat given te the New World should fall
to the lot of city where so small part
of the population is of the Catholic faith.

THE tenacity with which men push
their claims for Office and hold on to it
when obtained, has received fresh il
lustration in the case of DIR. De Koven.
He has been beaten about as badly as a
man can be every time he has tried to be
bishop but the fact that the mem
bers of the church to which he belongs
do not want him for bishop, appears
to make no impression on his ecclesias-
teal mind. He has been candidate for
almost every vacancy that has occurred
for several years, and every time he has
failed of an election. His friends, now
talk of adopting Tipperary tactics in
Illinois. They propose to submit him
to the diocese as candidate over again
for the place he has so recently failed
to secure. His views on church mat
tiers, which are already pretty well
known, are to be explained again, as it is
hoped to the satisfaction of moderate
Churchmen. The points concerning
which his views are brought in question,
are theIadoration of the Eucharist, sacra-
mental confessions, invocations of the
Saints and prayers for the dead 1t is
not denied now that the Doctor believes
in these things in certain sense, but he
and his friends intend to show in the
proposed explanation that he is not
more jealous in regard to them than any
other conscientious Episcopal minister
is or ought to be. And when they have
been explained to the presumed satisfac-
ton of the moderate churchmen, his
name is TO be presented again to the II.
linois diocese. 1t would be modest
thing, to say the least, and worthy ex
ample to political aspirants, if DIR. d.
Koven should now gracefully retire from
the contest for position in which it il
plain that his church does not desire
him to be placed.

A. Runaway Marriage Pursuit
by a Stern PARENT p" = Ex-
: citement in the Depot Yester-
day. III r---s-.' t.-..-s -..-

A marriage which was solemnized on
Monday last, was the cause of much e1-
element in the depot yesterday. A
number of people who were waiting in
the ladies' room of the depot were sud-
denly startled by two men, both of whom
were under the influence of liquor,
quarrelling over the possession of a
young girl. In the struggle they used
language more forcible than elegant
Grand Juror Randall being present re-
monstrated with the men and succeeded
in quoting them somewhat. He then
took the girl from both men and asked
her where she wanted to go, she replie1.

Itappears that the parties were. all
from Ddnby. The girl, Ellen Shippy, is,
thirteen years of age. The evening
previous she. had been married to John
Roarke, and he and her father were now
contending Tor her possession. Mr..
Roarke ran away from Dandy ia eom-
pany with. the girl, and came to. Rutland,
and they were married by a c. srgyman.
They procured certificate from our
town clerk, giving. the age OF the girl as
20 years, and their place of residence,
Canada. The clergyman thought the
girl was very Young, and examined the
certificate closely, but foand it all
correct, apparently. A resident Of Rut-
land procured his services for the occa-
sion, and being acquainted with said
resident, the clergyman was unsuspi-
cious of wrong. i, -..-a /. go .,
After Mr.. Randall had taken the girl
from their clutches, neither was alto,
gether satisfied, but still strove for the
possession of the prize. Mr.. Roarke
began arguing the question and swing,
ing his hands around promiscuously in
his endeavor to impress the strong points
of the case upon his hearers His arms
coming in too close proximity to Mr..

liceman Aubertin being then called 10,
Roarke quietly obeyed, and peace
reigned once more.
