A week ago the South Congregational Choir went to Washington Green, and re- peated the Cantata of Daniel, which they had previously given in the First Church, in Woodbury, with so much success and applause. At Washington they were aid ed by some of the Judea Singers, and everything passed off to the satisfaction of all.

There has been but two or three sensa- tions that have affected the public gener- ally, since the penning of our last article. Two of these occurred on the same day. First, the return Of Mir. and Mrs. Henry ". Woodruff from their wedding tour. on were met by the brides brother and sis ter, MT. and Mrs. Lyon, from Ashley Falls, Mass. Very quietly they began living i'll their own house; but ere the day was done most discordant noises awoke the echoes of the new little village that is being built around or near their habitation 'The boys" thought proper to give them a callithumpian serenade, "a custom more honored in the breach than in the observance"
 l Previous te the discord very different kind of music had been rendered in the newly repaired and refurnished Congre- gational church. on the Green. The Woodbury Singers, under the guidance o
 the Hon. Earle Buckingham, assisted bs the Washington Choir, gave the Cantats

Two or three years ago Genl Grant started from Philadelphia, and 'traveled in an easterly direction. He pursued that direction till a short time ago he arrived back at the very hotel hs storted from in Philadelphia, and was re- ceived with great distinction.

 The North Church and Society gave the Rev. MT. Wyckoff their annual dona- ton visit last week, making the heart of the worthy pastor glad with the good things of this life. Our worthy poet of Cat Swamp, also gave his annual poem with all his accustomed fire. He is welt endowed by the Muses. You will remem- Der, MT. Editor, that your correspondent described this poet in your paper, some years ago, as follows:
 "We'll first refer to Swamp de Cat
 And to the bard who ill u1nines that
 In him We have in glorious measure

 Hes one of us''-none of your bun1msrs,

 Last Thursday the ladies of the First Congregational Church and society, un- der the direction of Mrs. Dr. Brown, gave all exhibition of tableaux, statuary, sells, etc.. accompanied with music. The ex- hibition was success, netting, after the expenses were paid, about forty dollars It was given for the benefit of the First Church building. The ladies desire to have the inside of the platter re-vamped and remodled. It is understood that they desire the present pulpit, which was put in at a cost of $500, taken out, and q platform substituted; then have the or gan taken out of the gallery and placed in an extension of the church to be built out behind the platform, etc., etc. It is thought that the desired improvements can be made for some s2, 900 or.s3.

From The New Orleans Picsyune.I


We congratulate the Democracy OF this
State, and especially OF the Second con-
cressiOnaI district, upon the denomination
OF Hon. l.. John Ellis to the place which
be has so long occupied in the Federal
House of Representatives with honor to
himself and credit to his party. Dir. Ellis
is now absent from home, and this indorse-
ment OF his past as a legislator aud political
leader will reach him in n distant State,
where he is doing a noble work for the good
cause OF his party. His eloquent voice was
not needed here to cheer on bis friends III
his own behalf, and he has teen spending
bis time and strength were his services
were more urgently needed. The canvass
ended, the party in the Second district Will
now close up its temporarily divided ranks
and return its nominee by majority worthy
OF the man and OF the hour.

Butler on the Census.

BEAST BUTLER made capital speech in
Cincinnati the other night for the Demo-
Gratis. It is full OF good bits. Here Is what
he had to say about the census:
"Again I End that the census enumerator
found a great increase In the coored popu-
lation, and still every Republican newspaper
and statesman says that 1t must be a fraud
IT cannot be 50. Beg your pardon, / do not
believe In the fraud. i believe there has
been a very great increase Of population. IL
is seventeen wears since they were free, and
I am quite certain, feilow.citizens. that they
must have increased rapidly, because nno

DIR. William II. Miller was thrown from
his horse on last Friday night, near the resi-
dence OF Joseph Meyer, resulting in severe
sprain OF his ankle. One OF his feet hung IN
the stirrup, and but for the fact that the sole
Of his boot was torn loose he would almost
certainly have sustained serious injuries.
His horse was frightened by the noise OF
party OF "beIIers" who were on their way
to bell" John Meyer, who had been mar
ried the day before. This practice OF " bell
ing" is not only highly reprehensible In
many other respects, but is almost GER
tain to result either in some accident, as
in this Gaze, or certainly in nnpleasantness.
To gay the least OF it, it is foolish and use.
less custom, and while generally prompted
by no feeling OF unkindness, should, Tor the
reasons stated, be discouraged by all lovers
OF good order.

for all persons to absent themselves. Many
