GOD IN ALL THINGS.
A Correspondent Tells of What
Occurred near cambridge.
To the Editor of the MorristOwn Gazette:


i Last Sunday about noon one O
our respectable, but most bruts
wicked citizens, an old gentlemA
probably IS years old, said to hi
colored servant, "Peter, take th
trumpet and go out on the highes
poiEt you can find and blow. anC
blow aloud, and see if you can wake
God up; id if he isn't dead
asleep or gone from home, or go
but little regard for this people
Tell him we are all burnt up, and i
be proposes to do anything for us tC
do So" Peter, however, declined
going, and positively refused tc
obey the command of his master
Nevertheless God heard the words,
and in less than an hour and q half
he showed the old man that he was
not asleep or gone. A email cloud
began to gather on both sides OF
town, not showing much indications
Of rain, but in half an hour the
clouds met directly over town, and
the lightning played viciously back
and forth through the streets, and
the wind assumed the appearance of
tornado. The rain followed very
soon and was such an was never be-
fore seen in that locality. 1t raised
the creek to such a height that it
swept away two houses; one was a
mill belonging to Messrs, Hill Il
Routh, the other an out house. This
newly awakened God kept pouring
out his vengence until the creek
swept in front of it the old mans
cow-drowning her instantly and
carry her off in the river. The old
man began to think it WAS his time
next.
1t is strange to say that this is
the third time this man has made
such sacreligious remarks as this
and has been warned every time
once by his house catching on fire
and burning very near to the ground,
the next his team was thrown over
board and came very near drown
ing. Each Of these incidents occur.
red right after making just such
remarks as the one on Sunday.
Take heed, cid man, or God will re-
venge himself differently.
Another item, Mr.. Editor, and I
will leave it with you. 1t is the
death of our worthy citizen and
Mr.. S. A. Fain's child.
This child, about two years old, was
taken i'll with what the parents

FROM JUDGE TURNEY.

WoLF's CRAG, July 2, 1879.-Hon.
John e. Garner-My Dear Friend /:
Your letter of the 9Th inst. was received
this morning. I fully agree with you
| that the compromise of 50-4 ought to
be accepted by the State. The ques-
| tion is not at all a political one and
should be removed from politics. 1t is
too late now to be further debating the
legality and honesty of the issuance of
the original bonds. That question is
now settled against US by eur own acts.
When the State was relieved from Radi-
cal enthrallment and went into the
hands of the Democracy we might, per-
hans, have made question of want OF
consideration or authority in the Legis-
lature and Governor to issue, but with
all facts before US, we funded the debt.
All of US, of every party, voted for can
didates for Governor who advocated the
funding, the Democrats for Brown, the
Republicans for Freeman, and think
estopped ourselves to do more than insist
upon a reasonable compromise. l am,
in nv humble way, doing all l can to
Induce the people to see it is to their in
terest to vote the compromise, and will
continue to do so until the election.
repeat, think we should, by all means,
accept the compromise and be done
with the vexed question. We must re-
member that the lion has our hands in
his mouth and we must get them out
upon the best terms we can. We can
not for moment think of Tepudiation
or any act that tends in that direction.
To fail to accept the terms offered Will,
in my opinion, ruin the credit of the
State that being done, the credit of its
citizens individually is also destroyed,
and. of course, our commerce with 9TH
er States is destroyed. I could say
much more, but will not. Go on, my
old and true friend you are now, as
you always are, right. P. TURNEY.

When the active opponents of the
60-4 compromise made their appoint
ments to address the people, they fan
cied they would have the field to them
selves, as the friends of the settlement
had then taken no active steps towards
organized action but in almost every
case the obstructionists have been met
and vanquished on the stump. The
canvass, from now until the question iB
settled at the polls, next msnth, prom
ises to be warm one, and the people
will have an opportunity of hearing
class of men altogether different from
those who seek to mislead them.
We publish below two patriotic let
ters from Judges Freeman and Turney,
which are direct and to the point.
These men are quiet, retiring, able
men, but they are men of information
and convictions and, moreover, of prac-
tical sense. Such advice is valuable.
FROM JUDGE FREEMAN.
TRENTON, Tenn, July 8, 1679.-Judge
John E. GarneT-My Dear Friend
Your esteemed favor received.
If the people have an opportunity to
settle at the rate proposed, and it is not
done, it will be an act of supreme folly
even madness-that will bring con-
sequences, that fear will not be right
ed in my day or yours. l should re-
joice above all things to see the ques-
ton settled on the terms proposed. It
would give US peace on the subject, and
q hopeful spirit, that would be the sure
guarantee Of returning prosperity.
Very truly, your friend,
THos. J. FREEMAN.

My Mocking Bird.

Not far outside my window,
But just where 1 cannot see,
A gay young hooking bird has his hoqae
In the depths of china tree;
And all night long he sings to me
A song as sweet as songcan be.
He wakes me at early morning
Wite q carol of merry glee,
And 4 he. half dreaming, and listen
TO his wood notes wild and free
And think his matin song to me
LIS sweet as any song can be.
And oftentimes at midnight,
When tossed on an angry sea
Of troubled dreams, wake to hear
A gush of melody;
And the serenade he sings to me
think is as sweet as song can be.
Thus, whether matins4or vespers,
Or serenade it be;
30 dear to my heart is the mocking bird
In the depths of the china tree.
That whatever song he sings to me
think is as sweet as song can be.

it his last duel. So he prescribed
as the terms that each party armed
with double barreled gun, loaded
with buckshot, and with hunting

to designated points on opposite
sides of the Savannah river. When
the city clock struck twelve each
party should start and row his skiff
to a small island ia the middle of
the river which was wooded and
covered with nnderbrush. On ar
irving at the island each party was
to moor bis skiff, stand by it for
ten minutes, and then go about on
the island until the meeting took
place. The seconds waited on the
main land until about one o'clock,
when they heard three gun shots
and loud and angry cries. Then

been agreed upon, the seconds

from the loss of blood, and bis an

The ex-Empress Eugene is reported
in very pIecalious condition. She
seemed to be attacked just as Carlotta
was, when she received the news Of
Maximillian's execution. Ever since
the Empress has known of the death of
her only and dearly-belcved son. she
has been out of her senses, unable to
sleep, unable to take enough food to
support her. Her condition at last re-
ports was very critical, and death, or
the same fate that awaited the bapless
Carlotta are by no means improbable
