The fifteen pieces OF the brass band
arrived on the 4th aud were distributed
on The 9Th. The sounds that nov issue
from every second house in town, very
forcibly remind one Of those produced
bv an orchestra Of tomeats assembled
to break tue monotony of a long sum-
mer night.
An oyster supper was held in the
school house, on the nights of the All
and 9Th, for the benefit of the Methodist
Church. Tie attendance was good
considering the short notice given. a
party of ladies and gentlemen seized
upon an unoccupied room. which lhe'
rssolutely held and amused themselves
by drawing pictures of their sweelhearls
os lie blackboard. The pleasure 81
the second night was considerably
lessened by one gentlemen's absence
on the plea Of getting married. QUIZ.

Persisted IN THE SNOW Some
weeks since a rumOr was current that
q negro man had persisted in the snow
n ar Winchester. At the time we en-
deavored TO discover whether there was
any truth in the report, but could ONLY
learn that negro man named Henry
Newman was missing and it wasSeared
he had persisted, 1t now turns Out
that the smmise was too true, and his
remains have since been found. Ii
seems that Newman was IN Wlnches-
Ter on the 24th of December, but lell
that day for his home on Mr.. Henry
Sune's place near tOwa. He was IN
der the Il fuence OF liquor. All searches
made for his body were uusuccess'
full until last Friday, when 2 eter Har"
rio. colored. crossing the fields near the
Valley school-house on MartlnsOur 6
pike. found he body, around which q
number Of crows had gathered. His
arm was sticking out Of the snow aud
the crows had picked the flesh from the
bone. An inquest was deemed I'M
necessary, and the body was buried IN
;be field. Newman was about SO years
old. and leaves a wife and TWO children

Choice Selections.

There is something in every man,
when ne meets temptation, that says
beware; if that silent voice is always
obeyed, the man is safe.
Happiness is not quantity but quail
ity. 1t does not depend upon mans
surroundings so much as it does upon
his spirit, temper and ability to make
the best of everything - Golden RaIe'
If one has lived an hour patiently
and serenely, and above the world, he
has proof within himself that such a
life is possible. Argument is no longer
needed in his case; he has experimental
and proved by his own experience that
the distraction and woridliness OF COM
mon A @ ~ " aS!s 3S!:
ought to be overcome.
The Christian AdU0cate believes in
spending less time in the graveyard and
more in good works: "When affliction
comes upon US, to allow it to prevent
the performance OF duty is to sin
against God no less than to yield to or
dinary temptation. Those who remain
away from the house of God, resign
their places in the Sabbath school, with
draw wholly from society, and take no
part in works of philanthropy, because
they have been bereaved, are falling
away from God. To sing, Nearer, my
God, to thee,' can avail nothing, If the
cross that might raise us be made an
excuse torneglect of duty"

A Mistake Fatal to the Chicken.

In our second edition last evening we
gave an account of very singular scene
in the Police Court, in which the Chi
nese laundryman, See Wau, took an
oath according to the form of his native
Landry cutting off the head of a roos-
ter The oath, as interpreted by the
worthy Chinese physician, DR.. Leo See
On, was as follows: q lost my money;
l am certain this girl took the money; l
am not mistaken; if l am mistaken l
hope to have my head cut off as I cut
this chickens head off; if | am not tell
ing the truth l hope to die as hard as
this chicken will; if the woman lies she
will die as hard as the chicken does;
God knows who is right" But the story
was not quite all told, and one point of
it, at least, is too good to keep. Justice
King, as stated, called upon Robert
Saddler, the genial and faithful con-
ductor of the "Black Maria" TO pro-
cure fowl, receiving special instruc-
tions as to what kind of chicken was
required. Robert, however, who is a
good Christian himself and not familiar
with the ways of the " heather Chi
nee," supposed that the Celestial
simply wanted the fowl to swear on, as
other men would swear on the Holy
Bible. After some difficulty, and for a
consideration of one dollar, he succeed
ed in borrowing fine game bantam
from Mr.. Joe Neil, the well-known fan
cier of dogs and game. Great was Rob-
ert's surprise and CONSERVATION when
he saw the murderin' haythen'' de.
lberately slaughter the bantam, and

pie, and unto whom God gave revela-
tions, either directly or indirectly, by
bringing them in contact with the
Hebrew people and their writings. In
the purer and earlier forms of the
sacred books of the East are to be
found doctrines which we esteem fun
damental. Monotheism is sublime
fact; the immortality of the soul, the
efficacy OF prayer, atonement for sin, a
Divine incarnation, and future rewards
and puniShments, are truths possessed
by other than Jews and Christians.
Do you ask me the source whence they
obtained those truths? | would say
from traditions which came down from
Eden; from personal contact with
those who had the Hebrew Scrip
lures, and from illuminations
which God granted to them as
he did to Plato and Socrates.
These facts confirm the claim of our
Bible as a well-avouched revelation
from God to man. But there are three
truths which are in the exclusive pos
session OF our Scriptures the father
hood of God, loving, tender and merci-
full, soliciting our friendship and invit-
ing our love; the brotherhood of man,
which was denied by the Greeks, the
Chinese and the Hindoos, but which
prevails wherever Christianity is ac-
cepted. In the estimation of Christ
man is greater than the universe. The
worth and exaltation of woman is ex-
clusively Christian. Christ flooded the
world with new light on her worth. He
made woman a companion. His Ser
mon on the Mount is all His own, and
is an octave of beatitudes, original and
sublime. Like Milton's angel, He Him
self is an original conception, without
an antecedent and without q subse-
quent. He is God manifest in the flesh,
sinless in His perfection and the grand
est of historic characters the Son of
the living God.-M y Herald.
