AUGUSTA CHURCH.-We learn that the con-
gregation of the Augusta Church." commonly
known as the "Old Stone Church. on the
Valley Turnpike miles North of Staunton,
are in q quandary in reference to their Pastor.
1t seems that the congregation contracted to
pay their Pastor, DR.. L. ". X. Handy, the sum
of $500 per annum, and that in the time that he
has been serving them, some or years. the
payment has fallen short to the amount of $500.
Upon being informed by the officers Of the
church that they could not secure subscriptions
for more than $3.50 per annnm, DR.. Hendy pro-
posed that he would give up the pastorate, that
another pastor might be engaged, and that he
would conduct heprayer- meetings and occupy
the parsonage, for which he would pay an annual
rent of $50. We understand that a congrega-
tional meeting will be held on Saturday next
to determine whether to pay DR.. Handy $500 per
annum as heretofore engaged, or to employ an
other pastor at less sum.

RELEASE OF SPENCER CHARGED WITH TIE
MURDER OF CHRISTOPHER STovER.-The ex-
animation of Spencer before Justices Vanlear
and Coiner, charged with the murder of Chris
topher Slower on the night of the 10th Of March,
1865 was resumed in the Court house on W ednes
day last The Commonwealth was represented
by Capt James Bumgardner, jr., Attorney for
the Commonwealth, and the prisoner, by Geo.
NJ. Cochran, Jr.
The following witnesses were examined:
Rufus Kindig; Mrs Hippert and Mrs. Nc
Cam, daughters of the murdered man; Miss
Fanny Kindig; Mr.. Robert Craig; Mrs. Camp
bell, wife of Francis E. Campbell, the chief
witness: Ed. G. Campbell, uncle of Francis E.
Campbell Francis e. Campbell; Daniel Oliver,
the constable who brought Spencer to Staun-
ton: Ed. Coffee; Peter Coffee; VIM. Vanlear;
| and DIR. T Van L. Davis. r..-
The only evidence connecting the prisoner
with the murder was that of Francis f. Camp
| bell. who testified to the alleged confession,
and his character as q truthful witness was
successfully impeached by the testimony OF
Daniel Oliver, Ed. Coffee. Peter Coffee, and Ed.
G. Campbell. The inoffensive character of the
prisoner was proved by the testimony of VIM.
Vanlear and DR.. 7. Van L. Davis. The inn
parchment of the hiefwitness made it evident
that the prisoner could not be convicted by a
jury, and he was released, with the consent OF
the Commonwealth's Attorney, by the judg-
| ment of the Justices trying the case.

THE FATE WHICH OVERLOOK THE
CHILDREN IN A CANADIAN CONVENT.
MONTREAL. Dec. Goth.

MONTREAL, Dec. Goth.
At S:45 o'clock last night the Sister
Superior of the Convent of st. Eliza
beth, near Toilette, ABOUT 40 miles from
this city, made her usual visit through
the whole building, and neither saw nor
suspected anything out of the way. AT
9:20 the whole convent was in flames
All the occupants, 100 persons, were in
bed, and the only thing that could be
dore was to rush out of the building
Nuns and children had only time to
save themselves without their clothes.
1t is believed that the fire originated be-
tween the floors, but no one could inn
ers in the convent. Thirteen persons
persisted in the flames
At o'clock this morning eight bodies
had been found and taken from the
ruins, all burned to crisp. Several of
the parents of the unfortunate children
we're present, crying and looking for
t,eir remains and endeavoring to iden-
tify them by fragments of linen or cloth
on the bodies.
Elizabeth Gravel, one of the victims,
was seen out of the convent while it was
in flames, but she re-entered either to
render assistance to the others Or to save
her property.
The Sister Superior persisted while
remaining in the convent to save the
children, and at last escaped with diff
Guilty.
1t is not known whether the victims
psr<sffs, in their beds or on the stairs
while attempting to escape. At O'Clock
to day the Corner opened an inquest
in the Presbytery close to the convent.
Rev. Sister Superior, Sister Onarie Ur-
sula and others are present.
The convent which was stationed at
St. Elizabeth, 6 miles from Toilette, was
founded in 1S49, and was under the
management of the Sisters of Provi
dence Community. The huilding had
wings, the Sisters and fifty lady board
ers occupying one, while the other was
occupied by about fifty orphans and in
firm persons. The structure was of
wood, and, there being no fire appara-
tus in the village, the flames could not
be checked, and nothing was saved.-
The property was insured for S24 900.

THE MACKEY HoUsE.-A Columbia
IS. c. correspondent draws the follow
inc picture of the MackeY House:

ain. the Mackey menagerie there is
scarcely a white face to be seen, and the
colored men are not by any means the
best of their class. They sit with feet
on their desks, many with cigars in their
mouths, engaged in loud conversation,
and telling jokes in spite Of the inces-
SAINT rappings of the Speaker. Almost
all the time has been occupied in pro-
viding soup for themselves and max
ing new efforts 10 bleed the State. The
| most frivolous discussions constantly
take place. Quite speech was made
on the subject of the use of tobacco by
the members, which Mr.. Maclley stop
ped by stating that SO soon as the ass.E-
bers had smoked the cigars boIypWed
from the demoo:gtia Legislators he sup
POSED they would stop.
"Aefoss the hall in the Senate the
scene is far more respectable, but there
the greedy fight over the appropriations,
the taxes to be wrung from an impov-
erished people, has taken I'd the tang
and attention Ct the Republican menu
pers, who appear to lose sight Of the
| Importance Of other matters in their
scramble after the spoils."

GRAND CoNCERT-Al who were present ct
the Concert at the Town Hall, given on last
Wednesday evening for the benefit of the Cath

well they may be, for it was one of the grandest
concerts ever given in our city. The united ef-
forts of such excellent musicians as Profs. Ha-
mer, Rubenstein, Kerber and Walter, in the
performance of the finest selections from the
most distinguished composers, could not fail
to gain the appreciation and admiration OF all
lovers of good music. And when to this is ad-
ded the rendition OF the aria, "Oh Luce de quest
anima," by Mrs Bumgardner, vocal solos by
Mrs. Judge Smith, and a trio from Belisario by
Mrs. Mcmahon, Mrs. Koerber and Mr.. Powell
every one was delighted and charmed with the
entertainment
