Rev. x. C. Atkins, the preacher ap-
pointed by the last Holston Conference
of the Methodist e. Church, South, to
iii the pulpit of Morristown station for
the ensuing conference year, preached
his first sermon in that capacity lat
Sunday morning. A large congregation
filed the church. The text was from
Peter l. 3, f. 5, and the sermon was an
earnest, impressive, awakening one. Mr.
Atkins is regarded by the Conference as
one of the best young preachers of its
body, and the members Of the church he
now has in charge will give him cor
dial welcome and liberal support, at
the close of the sermon, and before the
congregation was dismissed, Rev. ID. G..
Carter, who has accePtably served the
church here for two years past, with
visible emotion, in few appropriate
words took an affectionate leave of the
congregation. He goes TO Jacksonville
station, Va. We confess to sympathy
with those OF the church here who were
disappointed in net having their favOrite
preacher returned to them. Having scrY-
ed The church here for tive years so eff
GENTLY and successfully, and by bis up
right christian demeausr having wen
the esteem and love of the community,
it is not to be wondered at that his re-
tdrn to this station was earnestly desir-
cd by the members Of his church. Bat
we trust Mr.. Carriers lines have fallen
in pleasant place and that his heritage
is better one. To the church al JEFF

Cincinnati Gazette: An endeavor was
made yesterday to ascertain the partic-
ulars about The proposed extension of
the Kentucky Central Railroad. AS pre-
viously announced, Hon. George II,
Pepdleton, and Mr.. William Ernst have
Just come back from a trip through Ten
nessee in furtherance of the project. In
uuiries were made of Mr.. Ernst, but
that gentleman would make no state
ment beyond the following: Nothing
definite has yet been determined upon
in reference to the extension. The OBJ
ject of the late trip was merely to ex-
anime the country through which the
two proposed routes are projected, viz:
one by way of London, kentucky, to
Knoxville, and the other from the same
psint to Merristown, Tennessee, via
Cumberland Gap. The trip took ten
days. So far as the counties through
which the proposed extension would
run had not been asked for any bonus.
Mr.. Elliott Pendleton made the same
statement. He said'it was too early yet
to state anything definite, but directly
the matter was il proper shape the fact
would be made public, There was little
doubt, he said, but that the extension
would be made, When made it would
PC a rival with the Southern between
Cincinnati and Knoxville, and the dis.
lance would be much shorter.

superintendent Prior, of the Chicago.
Milwaukee & st. Paul road, in the city
yesterday, informed a GLOBE reporter
that all efforts made to gain some knowl-
edge of the fate of Mr.. Vanderwerker,
engineer on the Hastings & Dakota rail
road, Minneapolis cut off, whose disap-
pearance IN November last has been fully
recorded in the GLOBE, has been unavaI-
ing. In fact not one single thing has been
discovered afording the slightest clue to
the fate Of the missing man, but that he
has been foully dealt with, there is. in
Mr. Prior'S opinion, little doubt.
When he left Benson to visit
Minneapoiis-from which time
he has not been seen-he had of his own
money, Mr.. Prior says, between $500 and
$1,000. The railroad company were also
indebted 10 him for upwards of a months
salary An examination of his trunk and
personal effects shows nothing undis-
turbed, and his private and company ac-
counts are found TO be all right, facts
which satisfy MIR. Vanderwerker's busi-
ness and personal friends, that when he
left Benson it was simply for q business
visit to Minneapolis This theory being
correct, nothing IS left but the sad
thought that hr. Vanderwerker has been
murdered for his money, and that when
the snow and ice shall disappear in the
spring, and not till then, his remains will
be discovered
