A Terrible EnrtJ.0,s0I:e,

News of most terribly heart-rend-
ing character has been received from the
Island of Scio. On April Sd, the island was
visited by terrible shock of earthquake, COM
pletely SCATTERING the whole island, destroying
many hundred houses, and damaging all those
left standing. In some cases whole villages
we're destroyed. A government dispatch says
that the number of persons killed will aggre-
gate 5000. Many persons took refuge on the
shipping in the harbor. The governor and
officials had quilted the island, and all Others
who could get away were doing SO.
Scio is an island belonging to Turkey, off the
west coast of Asia Minor. It's length is thirty
two miles, and its greatest breadth eighteen
miles, while its area is sos square miles. The
surface is very much diversified. It is natur-
ally one of the richest and most beautiful
islands in the Levant, but it was many years
recovering from the: desolation to which it
was reduced by the Turks during the Greek
revolution. The principal products are wine
OF superior quality, mastic, silk, wool,
cheese, figs, lemons, oranges and other fruits.
| The population of the island is about 1000.
Scio, the capitol of the island, is near the
middle of the east coast. It consists for the
most part of houses of hewn stone or brick,
and generally with terraced roofs. It is
defended by castle; has manufactures OF
velvet and some lighter fabrics, and at its
harbor, which is formed by two moles, and
provided by two lighthouses, which its diff
Guilty of access renders necessary, carries on a
considerable trade. The population of the
city is about Is, 900.

A Week of Prayer.

FREDERICKSBURG, VA Jan. 10th, 1881.
DIR. Hoges visit to this place was on Decem-
Der Goth, the day of our chief snow-storm The
attendance the next day at the dedication of our
beautiful chapel was, of course, much hindered
on account of the unpropitious weather: yet 1t
was large, and the services were throughout of
most appropriate and edifying Character
On the first Sabbath of this month, January
I'd, the chapel was occupied by the Sabbath
School, for the use of which it was, in fact, very
much intended by its generous donor The old
Lecture room in the basement of the church was
left not without many precious memories OF
years and scenes long past, both respecting the
Sabbath School and the weekly meetings for
prayer times when the comfort of Gods love
and the fellowship of HIS Spirit were as "the
dew upon Hermon." AS the congregation now
enter upon the use of their elegant accommoda
tlons the prayer, L think, goes up from many
hearts that the church may be baptized with a
renewed conservation to the service of God
Under this feeling it was determined to hold
special meeting every day last week at 4
o'clock 2. NJ, more especially as this was the
week so largely observed over this and other
lands by Christians of many denominations
and then too it was the week Immediately pre-
cedlng the communion of the Lords Supper in
our church. The weather, both under foot and
over head, was about as bad as it could be- vet
the attendance has been excellent, nearly filling
the chapel all the time. The services, conducted
mostly by the pastor, Rev. j. F. Smith, have
been very appropriate, and have evidently given
refreshment, strength, and comfort to the people
OF God. Yesterday the communion of the Lords
Supper was administered, when it was announced
that four persons had been received as members
In full fellowship on profession of their faith,
and two upon certificate. Altogether this little
church, in years gone by so tossed with tenn
pest" and even now sorely straitened, as com.
pared with former times, is much cheered, thank.
ing God and taking courage, "steadfast un-
movable, always abounding in the work of the
Lord" OBSERVER.

appropriate to the occasion. The children sang
some of their prettiest songs while the chorister
of the church and Miss johnson each sang
most beautiful solo. Then the baskets were
distributed among the children, needing more
than hundred to supply all. To the members
of the choir presents of books were made by a
friend while to the pastor was presented in the

This is the season for entertainments, anniver-
saries, &c. season made especially, we used
to think, for the children. Why then should
not the Sunday School, also made especially for
the children, have its good time, and contribute
to physical as well as spiritual needs So

Harper's Ferry Presbyterian church But how
must 1t be done2 We don't want any tableaux
nor show, nor stage, but what shall we have
We don't want any profuse decoration, ever
greens, flowers, &c. That was just the thing TO
be decided. Why not have an address and
singing with refreshments for the children
Just the thing. Not much trouble pleasing to
the children and gratifying to the old folks.
An invitation was sent to young and gifted
lawyer tn deliver the address, and it was ac-
cepted. The choir was appointed a committee
to prepare some music Another committee was

Let me detain you with but a single
class of decisions more-those which have
influence to the sin of murder.
Servants may lawfully assist and CO.
operate with their masters in the commits
sion of crime, if they do so under fear OF
death, or loss, as for instance, lest they
should be badly treated by the master,
incur his displeasure, or be expelled from

eff one man murder another in order
that third party may be suspected OF
the murder, and so suffer loss, the real
murderer is under obligation to make
compensation to the supposed murderer
for the loss he has sustained, if he be a
worthy person" otherwise he is not. y
Gb. N. 587.)
If a candidate for holy orders be caught
in adultery by the husband, and being
involved in an alteration he kill the hus
band, he incurs irregularity" (that is
disability for clerical office only in case
that he went openly or rashly at time
when the invasion of the husband was to
be expected; but ii he went secretly and
with due caution (clans ct cum debita
cauteIo ne maarito anveniatatr), then he
does not incur irregularity" 1t does
not seem to have entered the head of this
meralist that the adultery itself was
enough to work irregularity' without
any nice questions as to the higher or
lower degrees of manslaughter or murder,
involved in the case.
Such, Christian friends, is the system
of morals which Pope Leo XIII, Father
Muller" Cardinal McCloskey, &C., would
substitute for our present CODE Let those
who think there is little difference be-
tween Professionalism and Romanism pom
der these facts. Let us not be considered
uncharitable when we cry out against a
system which proposes for us in this 10Th
century, and this American country, such
a code of morals as that represented by
"St: Dominick, st. Ignatius," and est

The Gazette win please bear in
mind we have not controverted the
evidence of jacob Moore, Esq, in the
Derrick B. Morris impeachment case.
Mr.. Moore is perfectly consistent in
all the testimony given tor Mr.. Nor
ris, and we would not for minute in
innate that he tod anything else than
the truth. Favorable as this evidence
was it had no bearing on the case at
issue. Mr.. Moore knew nothing about
the particular charges that Mr.. White
had made against Mr.. Morris.-Re-
publican.
That will do to tell the marines.
Mr.. Moore, simply means that he
knew nothing personally that he could
swear to. But Mr.. Moore is too in-
telligent gentleman not to have read
and heard great deal about this case.
But we are not going to be required
now we hope to defend Mr.. Moore
from the reckless logic of the Rspubh-
can. We have had too much Of our
time already taken up with its false
charges against Esquire Morris as
sumed by the Republican to be true
simply because the man White led it
to believe them. 1t need not now at
tempt to make US believe that Mr..
Moore required to be engaged as
counsel to make him tell the truth, for
that is the inference to be drawn from
the closing sentences which we clip
from the Republican, as follows:
''had the case been tried before a
jury of twelve honest men of Sussex
county instead of before a partisan
Legislative committee, and Jacob
Moore, Esq. , had been the prosecuting
attorney in The case, Squire Morris
instead of escaping with such bril-
liant coat of VIII ,tewash would have
been convicted OF malfeasance and
misdsmeanors In Office"

where it will stop. We received
note from J. Alexander Fulton, Esq,
the attorney who defended White.
He abandoned the case as he says
when he found White had no ease /;
and the Dover Sentinel, Republican
paper, says when Fulton abandons a
case there is no hing in it. This ought
to be conclusive, without the evidence
of Hon. Jacob Moore. But his de-
position clinches the matter show ing
that the Republican has been issui z
falsehoods with reference to Mr.. Nor
ris.
The committee was not partisan be-
cause the members OF both parties
signed the report which Was adverse
