NEW YORK, March 16, The Berean Baptist
inp of ex- ex-senator" Bob Hart as soldier of
the Cross. James Nj. Sutherland, known In
the theatrical world as Bob Hart" was
baptised at noon by the Rev. John Quincy
Adams. The church was crowded in antici-
patton of the baptism OF the minstrel The
''Senator" looked supremely happy as he
grasped the clergymans hand, and when he
emerged from the water there was sparkle
in his eye which spoke In uDmistakable Ian
guage Of his religious enthusiasm. Had the
place been other than church, the great
congregation would have broken forth In a
burst of applause There i5 probably no man
In this city better known to the general pub
lie than Senator" Bob Hart He is AZ years
Of age, and for twenty-three years has been
before the world In tho character OF
stump orator in the Minstrel Hsll. His life
has been one Of dissipation and excitement.
The whisky which inspired at first demoraliz-
ed at last He lost engagements because he
was not reliable and was fast descending to
utter disgrace when the hand of Christ, as he
says, was stretched forth to save him. Mr.
Adams described the rescue OF Bob Hart:
-Four weeks ago Sutherland was retaining
to Haekensack. He had been on spree. and
wss drunk at the time Some person in the
car told him Billy Dwyer had signed the
pledge The intelligence sobered him. He
said to himself: III Dwyer can reform, there
is hope for me- He determined to reform
then and there. ~ was terTlple Stfugkb
with the whisky in his system, but with the
aid of his wife, he fought it out. He hunted
up Dryer went with him to Evans temper
ance meeting, and signed the pledge. From
that moment he began 70 seek salvation, and
On the next Friday afternoon, was clearly
converted. The transformation OF the man
was complete. He has renowned the stage,
and is going to devote himself to the Gospel
ministry. He will make o great clergyman.
He has the gift OF clothing his thoughts In
language, and all he needs is preparatory
study. He is the happiest man to-day ever
saw, and | believe he will make one Of the
most successful ministers this country has

A nisagreeabIe Drop.

The Virginia City New Enterprise has the
following: About 10 o'clock yesterday morn
ing a crowbar was dropped down the main
vertical shaft of the Savage from the surface,
and went directly through the cage at the
bottom, piercing the bonnet and floor. No
one was On the cage at the time and no one
was hurt, yet it is unpleasant to one making
a trip into a mine to reflect that such things
sometimes occur. AS the bar fell something
over five hundred yards, it was travelling
with the rapidity and vim of a cannon ball
when it struck the cage. A bit OF gravel no
larger than filbert sings like a bullet to-
wards the latter part Of such journey. A
dog once fell into shaft at Gold Hill, and,
though the shaft was but three hundred feet
in depth, two men upon whom the unlucky
animal landed were killed, as also was the
clumsy cur that had failed to hop across the
top OF the shaft. A rat once fell down the
Consolidated Virginia shaft in attempting TO
spring across the compartment, from wall
plate to wall-plate, and 100 fest below
landed on the bald head of a miner and ex-
pIoded like bomb, causing the miner to
think rock had cut open the top OF his skull
and let out his brains. A grain OF blrdshot
dropped into the top Of a shaft 1900 feet IL
depth would probably burst itself in plank
or a piece of wood it might strike at the
bottom This being the case, we repeat that
it is not pleasant to think of such things as
crOwbars going down shafts.

Dear Sir am not personally acGuaihteu

this would recommend me to your favor !
will speak, however, 10 behalf OF those leno-
rant and deuded classes Of our fellow-citiAeil9
who are especially, on this account, the chiio-
rem Of the State government. These chlidren'
sir, have for years been robbed OF their httie
earnings Nv the Louisiana State Lottery, and
their children have gone barefoot, naked ana
hungry on account OF 1T.
Being physician doing large charity
practice. thus iningling continually with the
moor. have had full opportunity OF judging
Of the starving effects OF the Louisiana State
Lottery upon those children OF ignorance and
want. But It's moral influence is still more
pernicious. beg you, therefore, in the name
OF these poor infants OF the state; ana In tile
name of Justice, upon whose pillars rests the
only hope Of humanity, to sign the bill abolish
ing the Louisiana State Lottery. The good
which YOU will do, will d million times out
weigh any evil effects of the law upon the
nrer,isua bond system. But. Governor, can
you longer take the responsibility OF foster
ing upon the community and State, a gam
bling machine, which habits originfn the very
worst elements Of carpet-bag power, ana
shameless moral corruption when your Owl
