Departure of Father s1ocum.


 Yesterday morning at the 1O:30 mass at St. Patrick's church, after the Rev. Father Fitz- patrick, the pastor, had given out some new rules for the coming year, Rev. Father Slo- cum, who has been acting as pastor since Father Fitzpatrick E illness ascended the pull pit and announced to the people that he must bid them all farewell. He spoke of spleas- ant relations with the people of the parish and he hoped they would not forget him, and that they would often remember him in their prayers He said that at present he had no appointment and he could therefore not in- form them where he would be stationed. He had been granted a vacation, and after his hard work he hoped he would enjoy it. In conclusion, he wished them one and all a happy New Year, and he would pray for them that God might bestow many blessings and much prosperity upon them and their homes during the coming year. Father Slooum was ordained in May, 1876, at St. Bonaventure's ! College, Alleghany, sPennsylvania, and was appointed assistant pastor at St. Patrick's church at the request of Very Rev. Jamee l Lynch, then pastor and vicar general of the

Yesterday Peter McGee, 2 young man, was arrested in the lower part ot the city as the alleged thief and was locked up. Chief Webster notified the Naugatuck officers Of the arrest.
 The beats of the patrolmen were changed yesterday at 12 o'clock, many of the day men returning to night duty and the usual quota of night men being assigned to day duty. The severe storm of last night was calculated to try the 1nettle of the men or duty. If the severe weather continues 1t If likely that three night reports will be ordered l instead of two as now. The annual change of badges was also made yesterday, the numbers being so changed as to give those I the longest time on the force the smallest numbers. Officer James Stuart now ranks as No. l, having been on the force over thirty years.

A Good Man Gone.

On the morning of the 9th inst, Dr. T. o. Summers, profound schel- ar and eminent divine of tho NJ. E. Church (South) died at Nashville, Tenn. At the time of his death. Dr. Summers was secretory of the gen. eral conference, now in session, and was at his post of duty two days be- fore he passed from earth. He was dean of the Theological Faculty and professor of Systematic Theology in Vanderbilt University. No man was more loved and h0nored than Dr. Summers, both by the church and public generally, and in his demise the world loses one of i.s brightest ornaments. Rev. pr. D. c. Kelly, of the Tennessee conference thus de. scribes the last hours on earth of the great man:
 1 was with Dr. Summers from noon yesterday until this morning, and perhaps the brethren would like to hear few words of his last hours, It was his dcslre to have passed from this General Conference to heaven, at least he would have pre- ferred to have gone chat way. On the first of the Conference l found him about to faint, and assisted hin from the house to his carriage. Ht was unable to sit up and 1 got into the carriage and took him home. | was not until he got near his hom' before he began to revive. The frs thing he said was that he longed tt go "home."

TIE democratic executive commit tee of the fifth judicial district of Arkansas, met in this city last Thursday, pursuant to call of chair man. Only four counties were rep resented, Johnson, Conway, Yell and Pope. The propriety of holding a convention to nominate judicial off cers was considered, and on vote by counties, the following result was had: For convention-Ye and Pope {; against convention-Conway and Johnson, tie vote. Franklin coun- ty was not represented by the regu- lar member Of the committee or proxy, consequently the proceedings came to a dead lock when the above vote was announced. The meeting then adjourned subject to the call of the chairman.
 It seems to be the policy of some of the counties in the district to op- pose the convention or any other plan for the nomination of democrat ic candidates for judge and prosecu- ting attorney. Such course is un- democratic and suicidal. It would be contrary to all precedents and the usage of the party, and, if adopted, will result in no benefit to the party organization Tn this district. The members of the committee will be called together again by the chair man, and we hope their constituency will send them instructed to vote fol nominating convention for judicial district officers, and let the people of each county so instruct at the ap preaching township and county con ventions. So far as we have been ad yised the several candidates fol prosecuting attorney have announced as subject to the action of a demo cratic convention" and it would b' unjust to them and their friends t

THE country can take another fit of 'gush." The supreme court of the United States has denied the pc tition for writ of habeas corpus in the Sergeant Mason case. The court decided that the court martial had full jurisdiction to try Mason for the ofense charged; that it's proceedings were within it's proper jurisdiction, and that the sentence pronounced was not Tn excess of It's powers. So after all, Sergeant Mason will have to remain in prison for eight years and mediate upon the ingrstitude of the supreme court of his country Tn not deciding that he was right in shooting at Guiteau.

DIR. M. NJ. MCGUIRE.

The above named worthy gentle man has announced himself as a candidate for State Auditor, subject to the action of the state democratic convention. Dr. Mcclure is not un- known to the people of Arkansas, es- pecially the members of the press, having been editor, for many years, of the Independent Arkansian, one of the best and most influential journals Tn the state. He is a thor oughly practical man, just such as is needed in the auditors office, honest and moral, and with the interests of the people solely at heart. As he states in his circular announcing his candidacy, Dr. Mcclure says that, If elected, he will "have no friends to favor or enemies to punish" and, Knowing him as we'll and as intimate ly as we do, we know that he means exactly what he says. He is dem ocrat of the most pronounced type and abreast with the progress of the times, and has ever been found bat ting for Arkansas and Arkansians, He is a strong man in every sense, and will go into the convention with a flattering following, if not with enough votes to insure his nomina tion on the first ballot. It is unnec essary to appeal to the voters O Pope county in Dr. McGmre's be half; he is our neighbor and favora bly known to all.

A Terrific Cyclone.

News reached Little Rock, last Saturday, concerning terrific cy clone that swept over the southwest ern portion of Montgomery county on the evening of the Sth inst, car rying destruction and woe in its path, and never before paralleled in that section. The Gazette's special, via Hot Springs, says:
 It swept from northwesterly di- rection, and, by a providential chance, barely missed the towns of Silver City and Mount Ida.
 At Caddo Cove, A. s. Swinton's residence was totally destroyed. Four persons, who were in the house, were carried some distance and alighted in well, but were rescued, Two of the persons, Messrs. Swinton and Anderson, were fatally injured.
 $. Bates residence was demolish- ed and the several occupants severely injured.
 Rufus Barrett, Riley Wheeler and Jas. Bates lost their residences, the two former persons sustaining dan gerous injuries.
 $. M. Tuttlebaum's house, near Silver City, was destroyed and the occupants all injured, though none fatally.
 At South Fork the postofiice was lifted as feather and carried away.
 w. l.. Burton, the postmaster, lost everything, including all the effects of the office and personal property.
 The extensive tarm of $. F. Me Kinney, probably the largest and finest in that locality, suffered much damage. The grlst and steam saw mill and cotton-gin, together with fifty other buildings were destroyed. The families occupying the residen' ces were nearly all maimed or killed. Mrs. James Eidson sustained fatal injuries, and probably also Mrs. Con dry. The large church was totally demolished. Mir. Gilhart and family were seriously hurt. Hundreds of sheep, hogs, horses and cattle were lost or killed, and $5000 in currency and silver were scattered to the winds and lost. The damage to McKinney's property will amount to $30,000.
 Jerry Watkins rich plantation On the Ouachita river is wholly de- stroyed, and also Shelton Fulton's valuable farm.
 The total damage incurred cannot fall short of $l50,000. This will in clude the damages in the entire county.
 It is safe to say that at least one hundred families were rendered homeless and without shelter.
 Your correspondent has been shown letter In which it is said seven or eight people were killed outright and several hundred wound ad
