pleasant occurrence on Monday evening at the
clubhouse of the Orleans Rowing Club.
A special meeting had been convened for the
transaction of some important club business
and Immediately upon its adjournment, MIR.

stepped forward. and, in the name of the
club, presented to each member of the shell
crew q handsome gold medal, in token of their
appreciation Of the victory won by the club
in the regatta given under their auspices in

he felt deeply the unexpected kindness of his
fellow members 1t wasa pleasant affair all
around, and will be long remembered by

ATTEMPTED SuIcIDE.-We want it distinctly
understood that when gentleman desires to
make sensational article out of himself by
attempting suicide, it is our express desire
that some other locality than the BULLETIN
Office should be chosen. We haven't the least
objection to chronicle events as they happen,
but we seriously object to would-be suicides
giving US the monopoly of the thing by try
ing it on in our Office. Last night a we'll
known citizen entered our rooms, and in an
of-hand manner swallowed modicum of
laudanum, and thereupon wrote up his own
obituary. This was trespassing on our rights,
and we were compelled to convince the gent
of the fact by large emetio. If that thing
is repeated we'll just put in the obituary and
charge the estate twenty cents line for it.

Ey- We had pleasure, on the first
Sunday night of the New Year, of listen
ing to sermon by the Rev. Mr.. Nugent,
of the Mississippi Conference. After TAX
inghis text, the revereni gentlemen star
ted out by saying that the sacrifice which
Christ Offered upon the cross, was vi
carious one, that is, one in which he be
came the substitute for sinners; that
because of the sin of Adam, every man
or woman on earth that had ever lived
or that would live, had sinned or would
sin, and had necessarily fallen under the
declaration. In the day thou ea,est
thereof thou shalt surely die" All man
kind, then, were sinners, and there was
no one meet for the sacrifice The law
required that the victim Tor the sin Of
iering should lie without spot or blem-
ish, a pure and tliutless lamb. Where
was it to be found The earth did not
contain it and man was threatened with
death temporal, death spiritual, aud death
eternal, unless some one uncontamlnated
bv sin, could be found as the necessary
substitute for the sinner Christ became
man, and with all the perfection and ex-
cellence Of complete and noble manhood
and Godhead united, was the partner OF
all our sutierings, but untainted by our
sins. He bore our sins in his own
body on the tree in order that a iull
and sufficient obiation and satisfaction
for the sins Of the whole world might be
made. and man be redeemed from the
penalty of the violated law. But the
infdel would inquire. why God. who
had surrounded Adam with SO much that
was calculated to make him completely
happy, should, at last, suffer him to be
tempted and fall into sin that should be
inherited by the whole human family 81
will tell you why said the preacher, "lt
was because man needed to pass through
such an ordeal, that he might know him
self, and feel his dependence upon the
mercy and goodness Of God. lie was
self righteous, and he needed the terrible
lesson of the fall TO teach how weak was
his effort to do right, unaided by the
arm of his Maker 1t was needed to i'm
press upon his mind, the peace OF heart
that ever attends the righteous nan in
the performance Of his duty, or the guilt
that fills the soul Of the sinful man, who
disobeys the law Of his Maker. The
preacher closed with some excellent re-
marks on the comprehcnsivencss Of the
redemption which Christ brought to the
world Mr.. Nugent was listened to with
much attention, and every one went home
well pleased with the sermon.
