shefeld.-The pulpit of the M. E. Church was supplied last Sunday morning by Miss Greenwood, of Brooklyn, who is so we'll known as on unwearied laborer in the Woman's Temperance Union. She spoke to large audience from the text:
 "He hath not dealt so with any nation, aud hls judgements have they not known. " The discourse was we'll suited to the pres ent troublous times, and she spoke with eloquence, of the National advantages we enjoy of the inestimable blessings derived from the inventions of the day of the great opportunities offered to all, and es- pecially to woman in thls age of the world, and particularly among us Americans, and the greatest of all blessings Liberty to think, to act. and to worship as we please She pictured the beauty of the nation, and then illustrated very clearly the evils which cast their shadows oyer our land the dan gers which threaten destruction to the na. ton. Of the many dangers, she declared the three most to be dreaded, are Rational
 ism, Romanism, and Intemperance. She held her audience most deeply interested to the time for closing, and we could have sal untired an hour longer. Miss G. is doing 6 grand work for the Master. and many will
 bless her for her efforts to save them from the drunkard's doom. ... Key. MT. Germond on account of illness, was unable to attend the evening service, so a Praise Meeting was substituted for the regular ser vice. The Bridgeport young men from the Lakes. who last week came to sing for us
 and thereby won the good opinion of ths community, were present on this Sunday evening, but their department in churcl was not pleasing to all who believe that re spect should always be shown in religiou
 meetings, and reverence in the house O
 God...... Meetings will hereafter be hel, Sunday afternoons in the Ward schoo house, conducted by Miss Greenwood. an' no doubt everyone in the vicinity will avai themselves of so great a privelege. H.

The Upton county (Tenn.) Record, Of
the both inst contains the following:
On last Monday evening the Noun
tain neighborhood was the scene OF a
deliberate and malicious murder. All
the parties OF interest we're eolored. The
marital relations Of one Edmoudson
Stephens had been disturbed by a disa-
greement between himself and tie part
ner Of his joys. The vito feeling
a%ggrieved, deserted her husband aud
returned TO her fathers house. The
husband declared his intention to kill
bis wife. Armed with a double. barrel
shotgun, he started in the direction Of
his father-in.lsw's house. A brother &C.
eompanied him 10 prevent bis executing
his threat in killing bis wife, Arriving
at the, house he demanded OF her all
the clothing he had given her. She
complied with bis demand; placing
them under bis arm he retreated from
the yard, the father-in law following
him and demonstrating with him on his
conduct. Passing out Of the gate, he
turned and remarked to the old man not
to come out OF the gate or be would shoot
him. The old man remarked, II don't
fear yolr gen and walked out Of the
gate, when the fend emptied the con.
tentE Of the gun into bis head. As YET
the perpetraior OF the crime has not been
arrested. We hope lie will not be able
10 eYade the clutches of the officers, aud
hat the punishment due to those who
wsntonly destroy human life will be
meeted out to the wretch. A g%allows in
this county would have a salutary effect,
