OLp-TmE CHURCH CHoIIs.-In the
early New England churches the singing
neverministercdt to the harmony ola Sab
bath congregation. And there was Il
greater discord than ever i'll the meeting
houses when an attempt was made TO i'm
prove the singing lay forming choirs and
teaching them To read notes ana sing
"by rule This was first done in the
Brattlr-strect Westinghouse, Boston. in
la2O. In the country towns the innovation
met with stout opponents, who declar
edthat it would lead toPopery, and that
la, ""Sol, la" was The voice of the
Pope in disguise. Each party accused
the other of disturbing the public worship
OF God. one in attempting to perpeluato
the "old way" the other to force in the
new way" OF singing. The opponents OF
the new way said that the old way was
more solemn, and the new way must be
wrong because the Young people 50 read
lily fell into it.
Some congregations did not understand
the merits OF the controversy well enough
TO have any opinion about it. On the
Stamford, c., records is the following

The M.oUAM Bay BREaKwAKER Several
years about 300 leet of breakwster was built
at Maquam bay, IN the same style as the one
at this port, but more than half Of it was
carried away by the ice in 1865, The ice at
Maquam bay and at Plattsburgh was meas
ured last Winter, and found to be thirty-one
inches at the former place and seventeen
at the latter. On account Of this great
thickness of ice, no ordinary breakwater
can be made 10 stand the pressure. ln the
Fail Of 1875, Captain White submitted a
plan for a new breakwater to the author
ities at Washington, which was accepted,
and the work Is now going on. A large
crib, III feet long, forty feet wide at the
base and nineteen feet deep, was built last
Winter. The upper edges are beveled OF t
an angle of lorty-fSe degrees, leaving only
seven feet of the sides vertical. This sec
ton Is low in position next to about 100
iett Of the Old structure. and another sec
ton nearly 100 feet long Is nearly ready
and will be sunk in lew weeks.

rightly and speaketh the truth in his heart.
was a good description Of Gov. Peck. IL
any one ord could describe him, it would
be the word upright. lie did much to dign!'
iy his profession and to relieve it from re-
proach and prejudice; Tor, while hs was
the impersonatiOn Of his profession, and
wholly devoted to it, he was loyal to right
and truth, and his soul abhorred injustice
for the sake OF gain. Abiding to the Tact
that the previous speaker had made no
allusion to Gov. Peek religious character,
Mr.. Buckham said We could not believe that
ono whose views OF duty were SO high, could
have leen without the help of religion; we
could not doubt that GOV. Peek was man
who drew instruction and inspiration from
the word OF God The common law IL
largely derived from Christianity. and our
statute law feels strongly the influence OF
Divine laws. Tho conscientious practice oil
tho law must draw one to the confines oil
religion and Gov. Peck, though perhaps
not giving expression to his faith, must in
tho solitude OF his thoughts have studied
and regarded tho procept9 OF his Maker.
Mr.. Buck ham alluded to Gov. Peck = good
ness of heart, which found expression in his
countenancs. lie was extremely kind to
young lawyers. lie was stern only toward
wrong A. ludee. he was one IN whose
hands the case OF a really innocent man,
involved by an Unfortunate complication OF
circumstances, was sale. lie was an honor
to the State and it was much to the credit
of the men OF Vermont that in spite OF his
modesty, they recOgnl ID his sterling quail
tiles and advanced him to high stations
OF trust and honor May God give Us more
such men.
After closing anthem by the choir, the
people passed by the side of the coffin, to take
a last look at the face of the dead. The re-
mains were clothed in Ia suit Gi black broad
CLOTH and tn, face, which lay upon the side
as II in sleep, wore a very natural appear
ance and expression.
The remains wcrs taken to llineshnrgh,
for interment
To what President Buekham SAID of Gov
Peck religions character, We can add that
Gov. Dillingham;, who often talked with
him on tie subject, says that Gov. Peck
was one Of the best biblical stu
dents within his acquaintance and
that Colonel ". p. Dillin ghaEl (who was
Governor Pcch's Secretary of Civil and
Military Ail.irs) informs u that he has
known Governor Peck to sit till nearly mid
night talking of religious matters OF the
lofty poetry of Isaiah, and OF the mission Of
Christ. whose divinity he considered attest
ed more by his character and that through
Him to the poor the gospel was preached,
than by His miracles. We have it also from
his brother, Nahum, that Judge Peek, for
several days previous TO his death, was
aware of his approaching end, and resigned
to meet it. An hour before he died his
brother said to him "Asahel, you do not
fear to go before a great and just judge?'
And the feebly spoken. but clear reply. was
Judge Psck's last utterance ; "Oh, no;
that is my hope
