Second Presbyterian Church Norfolk
Virginia

The second Sabbath in May being the second
anniversary of his pastorate the pastor (Rev
E. o. Frierson) read from the pulpit brief
sketch of the history of the above named church,
from which we condense the following state
ments. The Second Presbyterian church of Nor
folk, Va, was organized by committee Of
East Hanover Presbytery, on the second day Of
July, 1872 in the lecture-room of the First
Presbyterian church. It's first Elders were VIM
II Broughton, VIM. d. Reynolds, and David
Humphreys. It's first Deacons were Joseph M.
Freeman, Henry S. Reynolds, and Luther Shell
don. In 1875 Messrs. Freeman and Sheldon
were added to the Eldership, and Messrs W. A.
Bull and Edward Camp were added to the Dia-
conate. The newly organized church began at
once to hold weekly prayer-meetings in the pri-
vate parlors Of the members, which were kept up
until they were able to erect the present build
ing. lot was purchased on the corner of
Boush and Freemason streets. having 100 feet
front on both Streets for which was paid the
sum Of $500. The present building, 70x35
feet, was intended as a chapel, to serve until a
larger one could be erected II was finished in
October, 1878, and dedicated with a sermon and
appropriate services conducted by Rev. M. ID.
Hoge. 1t cost $1,000, precisely the same amount
that was paid for the lot on which it stands Six
ty feet Of this lot, embracing the corner of Boush
and Freemason streets, was sold in the year
1883, but sufficient ground was reserved for a
manse, and any future enlargement Of the build
ing, which the congregation may see fit here
after TO make.
In June, 1873, the Rev. n. NJ. Woods. a re-
cent graduate Of the Union Theological Semi
nary, was called to be the pastor. The officers
of the First church kindly offered to the newly
organized body the use Of their building until

Of Kentucky, who was brutally assaulted and
cowhided by Cornelson, lawyer of Mt. sterl-
ing, on the 10th ult., Is much and deservedly
commended for the reasons he gives for not tax
ing the law in his own hands and avengine
upon his assailant the outrage committed. tits
an example Of Christian spirit and fealty to law
that is worthy Of an imperishable record In
speech he has said
First he did not want the blood of his assail-
ant to wreck his life second, to have killed his
assailant would have been casting to the winds
his entire Christian life which had been one Of
peace and not of blood, and overturnine the
foundations Of the Christian character he had
endeavored to build among his fellow men
third, he was restrained by his love of the law
and the reverence he had always paid it. He
spoke at length of the lawlessness in the land,
and Of the growing disespect for the law, the
court and the administration Of Justice but he
rested his case largely on the fourth ground,
that the indignity rose above all personal con-
alterations thatit was not an assault on him
personally, but upon the court Of which he was
a member upon the law itself, upon the Govern
ment, upon society and the people Of Kentucky,
and that the matter was one between the peo-
pie on the one side and Corneilson on the other.

Other AlnusemeIts.
EIGuTH WARD, Ascension Parish,
EDITOR CHIEF:
II has been some time since I have con-
tributed anything to your columns, SO I've
concluded TO attempt description of the
family reunion and birthday celebration
which took place at the residence OF that
venerable citizen Miguel Gonzales Of Gal
vez. It sliou1d be borne in mind that our
venerated friend Is the sole owner and resi-
dent of this ancient town, situated on the
Amite river, at the mouth Of Manchac, or
Bayou Iberville, as it was called in the
pnlmy days of this burg. 1t was here that
bernardo de Galvez, then Governor Of the
province, in 1777 established d fort or mil.
itary garrison, which was kept up until 1904,
when GOV. Claiborne assumed control of
the then Territory of EsssiaL Asr1 It was.
occunied by tlvrsor,- "
c. s, = ne United States forces under
nndreW Jackson during the war of
1872. Whatever might have been its inn
portance or history, very little evidence re-
mains to show that.it was once a thriving
tosfli.
On the 10th day Of August, 1914, not
many miles from this place, was born Mi
guel Gonzales, who subsequently became
possessed of the old town site. Here more
than half his eyentful life has been spent,
and here on the 1osh of.August, 1884, were
collected numerous relatives and many
friends to celebrate his seventeen birthday.
TO none were the frolicsome ainusements
entered into by the young folks more inter-
esting than to our genial and aged host
himself, who seemed to have borrowed
new lease of life from the surrounding
youth. He was here, there,and egerywhere,
experimenting the festivities and encour-
aging all to enjoy themselves by his beam
ing smile and affable manners.
One of the attractive and novel features
of the occasion was base ball match be-
tween the Gonzales nine and the Glorys Of
Galvez. It was said that the Glory club in
tended to take in few players from the
Cocoanut club to strengthen them, but
when the Gonzales nine arrived on the
ground and it was seen that at least three
OF them looked more like singing g Put me
in my little bed than playing base ball,
the Galvez boys concluded they were equal
to the occasion without assistance from
their Duckroost friends, hence they went
TO the bat. and scored goose egg in the
first inning, when it became apparent that
they were likely to be Giori-ously defeated,
and they gladly accepted a few good play
ers from among the spectators. The New
River club was victorious, however, by the
following score:

tended average.
The Signal Service, over which Gen.

stations located at as many places in
various parts Of the country. OF these,
at the frst-class stations observations are
made of the weather in their respective
regions and reported three times daily to
Gen. Hazen's headquarters in Washington;

States Legation at Vienna, and nearly four
years ago to his present position.
