CATION had assembled at tho leuse OF wor-
ship, said TO be the largest assembled here or
in any neighborfng church for many years.
The body OF the church was filed almost ex-
clusively with ladies, and the gallery with
gentlemen, whilst at least hall q church full
were gathered around the house on the out
side, unable to gain admission.
The moderator, Rev. DIR. Witherspoon,
preached the sermon for the occasion, and
after its conclusion propounded the obliga-
tons to be taken by pastor and people.
Mr.. Dupuy was then solemnly ordained
to the full Office Of the ministry by prayer
and the laying on OF the hands OF the Pres
bytcry.
An appropriate charge was then delivered
to the newly-ordained pastor by the Rev. Il.
T. Jones, and a charge to the people by the
Rev. w. \. Campbell, who had formerly
held the same relation to this church.
After a bountiful rcpast the congregation
reasScmbled and heard sermon from Mr..
Campbell.
An interesting feature OF this occasion
was the fact that this Presbyterian ordina-
ton took place in Methodist church. In
deed, the courteous Methodist minister,
Rev. W. II. Atwell who had made an ap-
pointment for protracted meeting, cheer
fully gave way to the Presbytery, and sat
with them rs a corresponding member.
His meeting will continue through the
week. Mr.. Dupuy will preach regularly
one Sabbath in each month in this church,
one Sabbath at Mount Carmel, and two at
Centre church, in Cumberland county: The
young pastor has made fine impression,
and enters upon his work under favorable
circumstances

Arc IN REPRESENTATIVE Paris CORE
spondent of the London Telegraph says !:
"It appears that Mile. Mercus, the young
lady who is playing the part Of Joan OF Arc
In Herzegovina, Is OF Dutch nationality.
She Is. about thirty years OF age, OF diminu-
tive stature. dark. and not handsome. She
has squandered away the greater part OF n
large fortune in the realization OF her roman
tic dreams; nevertheless, she is still in posses
sion Of more than seventy thousand pounds
sterling. Her first fancy was to erect Pro-
testant temple at Jerusalem, in front Of the
monument supposed to be our Saviour's
tomb. The temple, which cost .e14,000, still
exists. Mile. Mercus's present ambition is
to command battery of artillery, and she
recently gave .e1,2 200 for the purchase OF
guns, but the gentleman intrusted with the
money suddenly disappeared, and nothing
further has been heard OF him. This extra
ordinary lady is not admired here, having
supported the Paris Commune and ap-
proved of the Archbishop's assassination.
She spends her time running after battle
field adventures wherever they are to be en-
countered, and, il public rumor be correct,
is rather to be compared to Lola Monies
than to the Maid OF Orleans"

copies OF the agricultural report OF 1874
and 100000 copies OF that OF 1875 was
passed
The political discussion was resumed,
during which Mr.. Eaton, OF Connecticut,
quoted from the Washington Republican OF
this date to show that the Democratic party
carried the election in Alabama yesterday by
10000 majority. He said: "Let the hon
orable Senator from Vermont weep. There
was not single outrage, but fair, honest,
good election"
Mr. Spencer, Of Alabama, said those were
Associated Press dispatches, and the paper
did not hold itself responsible for them. 1t
was true that in many counties OF Alabama
the negroes did not vote on account OF III
timidation.
DIR. Eaton: "The Associated Press is
not under control OF the Democratic party,
not by good deal"
Dir. Patterson, OF South Carolina: "The
Associated Press is not under control Of the
Democratic party in the South, but every
agent OF the Associated Press in the South
is 4 Democrat.

not get anybody else there who could read

Mr.. Sargent, of California: 'My impress

I think he has that credit
Mr. Eaton: "I do not say it as Il dis
credit to him by any manner or means, and
when you can point to one to whom it Is {:
credit, anu very happy to know it,
Mr.. Sargent: :" I am very glad the Sen
ator viii admit so much in favor OF any Re-
publican"
Mr.. Eaton: 81 know many good Repub-
leans. Five hundred OF them in my town

ticket. But that time was passing by, and
the election in Alabama Yesterday showed
