that recently she has been travelling engaged

the answer is tho affidavit of John Dunn, stat

on September she was engaged for

for the benefit Of the yollow-fever sufferers at

James are tho only two judges sitting In the

Rev. DIR. Harrison, of the Mount Vernon
Church, delivered the second of Il special series
oflecturrs last night at the church. The attend
ancc was very large, the church being crowded.
DIR. Harrison was. listened to throughout with
profound attention. The subject OF the dis
course was the opening OF the Second Seal, or
tho Red Horse aud His Rider. which the
Doctor called war; war in its most viru-
lent iorm-civil war. He then related
the decline and fall of Rome, and
drew pictures of the character, nature aud
ruigus Of the several cmporors. Christianity
said he, strangely made its permanent ad
vancement 1t claims all ages, countries,
classes, tribes aud conditions. He then spoke
OF its introduction aud progress. 1t gradually
wins and converts in the face Of persecution.
To be Christian in those days was to lose
all social standing. 1t was fortunate for the
Church that it passed through these great
trials. God in Christianity was what main
tanned and showed forth the power of Jesus
Christ. War has done nothing to make the
| highest ends of men secure. We have only to
90 where war has been, whore we can see the
| desoation and hear the cries of despair we
have only to turn back to the recent history
OF home to realize aud appreciate its horrors.
He hoped that the progress of the White Horse,
| peace, would mover cease until all men yielded
to his conquest. Then shall tho sword be
| beaten into the pruning hook and the earth
! blossom as a garden all emplOyments of men
| be harmonious aud sweet peace reign OH earth
and bring all sons of men into communion
! with tho Father.

the scene ola most interesting exhibition last
Saturday forenoon. The trustees had arranged
with Miss Corson for a lesson In cooking, and
at the appointed hour the children, mixed
company of girls and boys, assembled in Curl
GUS expectation. Miss Corson selected corps
OF helpers, appointing Il tiny girl to the char e
of the potatoes, the oldest girl TO the moro inn
p)rtant responsibility of the stew, and won the
heart of boy by ontrusting him with the
preparation of an omclette. The readiness
with which the children initiated her move
ments and the correct answers given by the
eager lookcrs.on to her searching questions
upon her directions previously given were the
best possible proofs Of the excellence OF her
methods. As the preparations advanced, tho
interest of the children intensified, and they
gradually drew nearer, and at last COM letely
surrounded their whilom teacher, who con-
tinued her work and explanation with as
much composure MS If she had been sole pos
SCISSOR of the kitchen. When dish of lyon
uaiso potatoes hot aud savory crowned the

mcnt reached its climax. In this exercise Miss
Cor5on demonstrated the possibility Of apply
ing the best methods of cookery to ordinary
material and meagre appliances, aud showed
exactly how the instruction of n cooking school
can be directed to the improvement Of the
poor classes. Aftor pleasing songs from the
