Whip ped for Refusing to Kiss a
Bomely Girl.

The district sch ool Of Barryville,
Sullivan county, is taught by young
man named Reuben Frazier. George
Silk, aged twelve years.. was one of
boy, anG The other day he tripped up a
girl about his own age as she was pass
ing out of the school room door. He
said it was an accident, but the girl
went back and slapped his face. lie
struck her and the teacher called him
up and fiogged him with stuck. Then
he was ordered to beg kthe girls par
don and shake hands with her. This
the boy did. The schoolmaster then
said that Shik, to make full amends,
must kiss the girl, but this he positive
ly refused 90 do. His refusal brought
him another whipping. Still he said
he would not kiss the girl. Then he
was flogged for the third time and sent
home. Believing that the teacher had
no right to insist on their sons kiss
ing any of the giIls that attended
school with him, snd that he had pun
ished the boy unjustly, the boys par
ents had the teacher arrested on q
charge of assault and battery. He was
given hearing by Justice of the Peace
Stud, who sustained the teachers
cause, and ordered his discharge. 1t
is said this case will be carried into
the county courts.

The SYNOD OF KENTUCKY met at
Georgetown, in that State, Oct. l3. The
opening sermon was preached by the
Rev. DR.. Blanton. The Rev. DR.. J. V.
Logan was chosen Moderator, and Rev.
W. w. Evans and Rev. VIM. Irvine
clerks One hundred and ten members
were present. A paper was read on
Secular Education by Rev. T. A. Bracken,
which gave rise to discussion which
was participated in by DR.. Robinson, DR..
Hendrlck, DR.. Davies, and DR.. George.
Other topics discussed were Modes of
Work in Revivals, Evangelistic Labor,
Missions, Education of the Ministry,
Central University, Ministerial Qualifca.
tions, &c.
Nicholasville was chosen as the next
place of meeting.
The Narrative of the State of RELIGION
was presented by Rev. R. H. Kinnaird.
Itreports some progress has been attained
within the past year in several respects,
viz, the Sabbath School work has ad.
vanced, a greater spirit Of Gberality pre-.
walls, the churches are better supplied
with preaching, and more earnest efforts
are made in different ways to advance
the cause of Christ. Yet there still pre-.
walls state of GOODNESS and worldliness,
the sins of intemperance, profanity and
Sabbath breaking still continue to great
extent, all which call for humility and
renewed conservation. Though some.
thing has been accomplished, yet there
still remains much to be done and the
blessing is promised if Gods people are
only faithful to their duty.

important results Dr. McIlwaine was
present, and made an earnest appeal in
behalf OF Home Missions. Rev. E. NJ.
Richardson, Secretary of the Committee
of Education, presented the claims of the
cause which he so well represents, and
DR.. j. N. Wa3dell and Rev. Prof. Hemp
hill, of the Southwestern University, made
telling speeches in behalf of that institu-
ton, which awakened new interest in re-
gard to it. This institution is under the
control Of the six Southwestern Synods,
viz: Nashville, Memphis, Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Arkansas, and Texas; and the
Presbyterians of the Southwest recognize
the fact that they must maintain their
own institutions of learning as essential
to the success and growth of the Church.
DR.. Waddell, in his address, not only
maintained that the Synods should sup
port the institution as it is, but should
look forward to the establishment and
endowment of professorship of theology
with the ultimate view of building up a
Western theological seminary. He did
not say that the time for this movement
was at hand, nor did the Synod take any
action in regard to it. Resolutions ear
nestly recommending the support of the
University were unanimously adopted.
King College, at Bristol, is another in
stitution under the control of one of the
Presbyteries (Holston) of this Synod, and
it has furnished from its graduates very
large proportion of candidates for the
ministry. No portion of our Southern
Church is better provided, therefore, with
educational advantages than the Synod
of Nashville, and there is no section of
the Church where we should expect a
more steady growth.

More than five hundred young minis
tiers whom he trained will testify that he
did his work well, ministers of the gospel
scattered now throughout the length and
breadth of this land, or laboring as mis-
sionaries in foreign fields.
DIR. Plumers pen was never idle.
Such volumes as his commentaries on
Psalms, Romans, and Hebrews will illus
trate the character of his work. He
wrote twenty-eight large volumes besides
lnnumerable tracts that have been scat
tered far and wide through the country.
while some of them are translated into
foreign languages. His letters of sympa-
thy with the Borrowing and the distressed
mlnlstered consolation to many of Gods
suffering people, and he was never
more like his Master than when STRIVING
to carry the griefs and sorrows of others
May the blessing CT the covenant abide
with those whom he has left in his stricl-
en- home and in the mourning Church.
The funeral services were held in the
First Presbyterian church of this CITY. on
Sunday afternoon at o'clock. The
Rev, DIR. Hoge and Rev. DR.. Preston had
been appointed by the Synod of Virginia
to represent that body upon the occasion.
They were assisted by ministers of other
denominations.
The church was crowded in every part
by people Of all denominations, and MANY
of the Oldest and most prominent citizens
were present as mourners. On the plat
form we observed Rev. Dr. Preston, Rev.
DIR. Hoge, Rev. DR.. Curry of the Baptist
church, Rev DR.. Edwards of the Method
ist Episcopal church, Rev. DR.. Hazen,
Secretary of the Presbyterian Committee
of Publication, Rev. DR.. Judkins of the

Third Presbyterian church in this CITY,
Rev. M. w. Staples, Agent of the
Virginia Bible Society, Rev A. G. Brown
of the Methodist church, and Rev. Mr.
Hutson of the Baptist church.
The services were opened with some
brief Introductory remarks by the Rev.
DIR. Preston, prayer by DIR. Edwards, and
the reading of the 18th chapter of 1 Cor
inthians by DR.. Judkins. Addresses were
then made by Drs. Hoge and Curry. 1t
was altogether one of the most impressive
occasions that we have ever witnessed
We have rarely listened to finer eloquence
or to more skilful and delicate delinea-
ton OF character and we have rarely seen
vast audience more deeply moved. It
was peculiarly gratifying, too, to see the
noble and heartfelt tributes paid to the
memory of the great preacher by the min
listers of other denominations. Denomi-
national barriers seemed to be thrown
down, and all seemed to be profoundly
impressed with one common feeling, that

Rev. A. w. Pitzer offered resolution
asking the Synod to overture the Gene
raj Assembly to take steps to secure some
cooperation with the Northern General
Assembly in the work of Foreign Mis-
sions and the evangelization of the COL
ored people. Referred to the committee
of Bills and Overtures. This committee,
in its report recommended that as the
subject of cooperation in Foreign Mis-
sionary work Of all Presbyterian church
es had been laid before the Council in
Philadelphia, it was not wise to take any
further steps in regard to it, but recon-
mended that the General Assembly be
overturned to take steps to secure co6pera-

to confer with the authorities of Howard

gard to the theological department of
that institution, made a report, which
commended the theological department

did not favor the Synod making use of

Dog Travel In British America.

For winter travel dogs have hitherto
been largely used, as with light loads
they are swifter than horses. To drive
a team of dogs it is said that one must
be able to swear in English. French or
Cree, while to be a first-rate dog-driver
requires fluent command of profanity
in the three languages. Some years ago
weL-known Winnipeg ecclesiastic
was making an extended winter trip I;
the dogs, though frequently whipped,
made little progress, so the bishop re-
monstrated with the driver. That
functionary replied that he could not
make them go unless he swore ut them /;
absolution was, therefore, given him for
the trip, and the dogs, hearing the
familiar explosives, trotted along brisk
ly. Dog driving, however, is passing
out of use in the Northwest, as it is be-
coming much more expensive to keep
dogs than it is to keep horses. While
buffalo were abundant and every post
and wigwam could have unlimited
pemmican it was easy for any man to
keep kennel; but as the buffalo are
rapidly disappearing, and as the dogs
must be fed throughout the wboleyear,
while the horses can forage for them
selves at all seasons, horses are being
used almost entirely OH the prairies
except in the more northern districts
wheregame and fish are very abundant.
Good Words.

The Cold Bath.

Although the daily cold bath II
healthful and reviving, it must not alone
be depended upon as a cleansing agent.
A man may battle daily and use his
towel even roughly, but remain as dirty
to all practical intents as though lie
eschewed cleanliness; indeed, the
physical evil OF dirt is more likely to
ensue, because il wholly neglected
the skin would cast off the refuse mat
ter by periodical perspirations.
Nothing but frequent washhgs in
water of at least equal temperature
with the skin. and soap, can insure a
free and healthy surface. The feet re-
quire especial care, and it is too much
the practice To neglect them. The omis-
sion of daily washing with water, and
the wearing Of foot coverings SO tight
as to compress the blood vessels and
retard the circulation OF the blood
through the extremities, are the most
common causes of cold feet. The rem
edy is Obvious dress loosely and wash
frequently. The skin plays an import.
ant part in the preservation of bodily
health.
