the hearts he had gladdened, were SOL
EMMY borne to his residence. and the
people will doubtless come out en- masse

we'll look at the long familiar, loved and
honored lace of the now sleeping Father
Hatcher.
Mr.. Hammond, with large company
of singers and converts, went in slelghs
ten miles to Bethel, and held a successful
mass meeting yesterday. He held chill
dren's meeting here this afternoon, and
will tonight preach 10 an audience OF
unconverted sinners-none beng admit
ted who are Christians, except the sing
ers and limited number OF workers, by
tickets from their pastors; this being nee
esssry to give the unconverted room.
The Christians will meet IN the South
Church and pray. Mr.. Hammond, with
large company from here, holds
Union meeting IN Marietta, Monday,
and returns here on Tuesday, and OF his
further plans cannot at present speak.
1t is plainly observable that the pecu-
| liar circumstances of Father Hstcher's
sudden death have given sorrowful SOL
emnIty to he deep interval pervsdlng
all classes Of the community, and the vis-
itation is looked upon by many as a spec
isl Providence; and the prayers OF Chris
tisns go up, that this remarkable exam
pie OF a noble citizen, after four score
years of unbelief, at last. torsaking his
infidel faith, and seeking Christ for re-
fuge, may be the means in Gods Provi-
dance of alarming every unbeliever and
pretender to infdelity in Parkersbulg,
so that they all shall be compelled, like
him, in their extremity to seek and re-
ceive that, anchored within the vale, sure
and steadfast HOPE.

While preaching this morning, note
was handed the minister, and as he scan
ned the message a sudden cloud of sorrow
overspresd his face, that caused the con-
gregstion TO hold their breath in wonder

Episcopal Church" Nonews could have

AS noted in q former letter, he several
days ago asked the prayers of Christians,
