AT the request of a number of
persons in this vicinity a meeting
was called last Saturday, the 18th
inst, for the purpose of organizing
Baptist Church at Union Chapel.
The weather was very unfavorable,
but a right good congregation as
sembled, and at 10I O'clock Rev.
w. E. Powell opened the meeting,
explaining its object. The church
was then organized according to
the regular custom. Ten letters
were read, and others will enter the
organization as soon as they get
their letters. Bro. Powell preached
for US again at 6 o'clock p. M. He
has also consented to preach once
a month, that is the second Sab
bath in each month. Rev. B. F.
Byrd also preached on Sabbath
morning at 101 O'Clock.
Rev. B. F. Carroll held a meeting
here some weeks ago in which
much interest was manifested. He
also has organized a class and will
preach as often as convenient for
him. LAUREL.

All readers of history remember
how in Luther's. slime, one Tetzel
and his agents went about Germa-
ny selling indulgences to the peo-
pie. For a sum of money a man
could buy the right to commit any
crime he chose to name; the price
varying with the enormity of it.
Armed with one of these permits,
a man might revenge himself upon
his private enemies in any way he
desired, and be assured of pardon
and exemption from punishment
by the church which adopted this
method to increase her revenues.

dealer is an Indulgence whose pur-

New York, March 31st.-The Sun
says: Now it is British Columbia
that is exercised about the Chinese.
More than $4,000 Cinnamon went
there as settlers last year, while it
appears no effort is being made to
bring to the Province fair share
Of the European overflow. William
Shakespeare, representing that Pro-
vince in Ottawa, recently introduced
a bill to restrict Chinese immigration
there, and colleague said that one
settler from the older Provinces is
worth 1000 Cinnamon, but Shake
speare was induced to withdraw the
bill. So intense is the feeling in
British Columbia against the Mon
golians that it finds vent even in the
press reports, one of which recently
declared the Chinese, where they are
found in large numbers, intimidate
the whites and threaten them with
violence.

In little back room in the second

Gently that the attention of physicians

has elected q great deal of attention,
and has become topic of discussion

The girl is about 1S years old, is
Predetermined and has been what is
termed good-lool<ing, though every
trace of such lines;have been blotted
cut by her malady. Her name is
Mary Aria, and since Christmas day
she has neither eaten, drank or per-
formed any of the daily functions of
nature. Both her own mother, who
has been a constant attendant on her,
and the other inmates of the house
attest the truth of the statement.
All the organs of nature, excepting
the heart and lungs, seem to have be-

perform their duties singgishly.
Christmas day, her mother states, she
ate large dinner, and displayed an
unusually large appetite. Since her
infancy she has been subject to cos
tiveness. Her spell came on during
sleep, for she retired in her usual
exuberance of spirits. The next
morning, when her mother went to
wake her, she was on her back, with
her eyes open and the balls rolled
back, showing the whites in death
like stare. Her first impression was
that she was in a spasm, but all the
usual modes of resort in such cases
failed to bring her to life. She was
perfectly timber and senseless, her
limbs lying in any position in which
they might be placed. Her skin was
of the normal temperature, but dry
as parchment and without feeling.
Her teeth were clenohed and could
not be pried apart. Every endeavor
was used to arouse her, but all
proved fruitless. Her pulse was
beating feebly, and her breast rose
and fell in soft respiration. She lay
in the same position and in the same
condition for several weeks. Her
widowed mother kept close watch
over the wreck of her only support,
