The elite of our society was represented in
large numbers; many leading physicians, min

wonder full and simple little machine with call.
The old st. Charles p owes what we had antici-
pated. the most eliRib place for the exhibit
ton. owing To the excellent acoustic qualities
of the au Sorinm. probably superior to those
of any hail in the country.

There has been considerable dissension for
some time past among the congregation of that
little "cullud" church in McDoncghville, bet
ter known as the Mount Pilgrim Baptist Church,
growing out of alleged CT ookedness on the part
OF several of me deacons and the minister
One Of the brothers named David Mason, at a
meeting of the general conference about a.
month ago. read long list OF charges, arraign-l
ing the several deacon1. charging them with
swindlinz the flock and disgracing their posi-
lions. The reading of the charges caused q
general row. which was, however. soon checked
by the police unher Sergeant PuioI, who ran
them out of the church.
Since then, there have been two factions one
headed oy the derelict deacons, the other By
Brother David Mason-hard at work to obtain
control Of the church. Last Saturday might

A Grave Deception.

1t was a melancholy funeral, despite
the circumstances-that OF Michael o.
LOughlin at Frenchs Prairie, Oregon,
The deceased had quarreled with his
wife, had been divorced, and in his dy-
ing moments, it was stated, had re-
quested that the coffin be not opened, rs
he did not want his wife to take a last
look at him. The request was cOmpli-
ed with, and the funeral services were
held in a church A few days after the
funeral the wife asked a Mr.. Gregory to
wind up the business of the deceased.
Mr.. Gregory began to do so, but soon
reached him that O'Loughlin
was alive. The grave was opened, the
cofin-Hd was taken off, and there, in
the bottom of the coffin, lay a dead
sheep! 1t is thought that O'Loughlin
was the author OF the heartless decep-
ton.

A Warning to Baseball Catchers.

On Monday, Judge Mattice, of Greene
County, signed the necessary papers for
the admission of Samuel Lindsey, of
Greene County, to the Poughkeepsie
Hospital for Insane. Mr.. Lindsey's in
sanity is the result of an injury received
in a game of baseball at Oak Hill ear
ly in September. Layman, of the Lone
Stars of Catskill, pitched for the Cairo
Club on that occasion, and Lindsey was
the catcher. The striker struck at the
ball, tipping it just enough to throw it
out of the straight course, and the hard
ball struck Lindsey on the forehead. He
was insensible for several days, but af-
ter fortnight's illness attempted to re-
turn to work. Last week, however,
symptoms Of insanity were observed,
and he began to have violent spells,
manifesting q disposition to injure or
kill somebody, 50 that it became neces-
sary to keep him manacled and strap
ped. The physicians think the concus-
sion and shock have caused an efusion
of blood on the brain. Time and rest
may possibly bring about recovery,
but the chances are not favorable.
Lindsey was received at the hospital on
Thursday last.-ROndout IN. Y Free

Shakespeare as Man of Business.

The reverential nature of the English
man has carefully preserved what they
thought the great excellence of their
poet-that he made a fortune. 1t was a
great thing that he, the son Of the wool
comber, the poacher, the goOd-fOr-nOth-
ing, the vagabond (for so, we fear, the
phrase went in Shakespeare's YOUTH,
should return upon the scene substan-
tial man, a person of capital, freehold
er, a gentleman to be respected, and
over whom even burgess could not af
feet the least superiority. The great
pleasure in life is doing what people
say you can't do. Why did Disraeli
take the duties of Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer with so much relish? Because
people said he was novelist, an Gd
captandatn1 man who could not add up.
No doubt it pleased his inmost soul to
do the work of the red-tape people bet
ter than those who could do nothing
else. And so with Shakespeare; it
pleased him to berespected by those
whom he had respected with bOyish rev.
erence-but who had rejected the imag-
NATIVE man--on their own ground and
in their own subject, by the only title
which they would regard, in q word, as
/ moneyed man. We seem to see him
eyeing the burgesses with good-humor-
ed fellowship and genial though sup
pressed and half-conscious contempt,
drawing out their old stories, acquiescing
in their foolish notions, with every thing
in his head and easy sayings on his
tongue, a full mind and deep, dark eye
that played upon easy scenes-now in
fanciful solitude, now in cheerful Socie-
ty; now occupied with deep thoughts,
and now equally so with trivial recrea-
tions, forgetting the dramatist in the
man of substance, and the poet in the
happy companion; beloved and. even
respected, with hope for every one and
smile for all Waiter Bagehot.
