For THE HERALD.
THE F. w. BAPTIST CHURCH.

1t is the object of the writer to give
a short sketch of the colored church,
therefore 1 hope you will allow me
space in your valuable paper. This
church was organized about June,
1867, by Miss Annie Dudley. twhitel
a kind hearted and true lady. She
wrought laboriously, and her labors
have been crowned with success. The
present edifice of worship was erected
in 1868. Rev. w. P. Fisher was the
first minister in charge he pushed
the building, we think, to completion;
he wore the mantle about ten years,
during which time the congregation
grew vigorously. In the spring of 'Sl,
Rev. Fisher resigned and Rev. H. E.
Keyes, the present pastor, accepted
the pastorship of the church. Since
he had charge of the church, many
additions have been made to the edi-
fee, among which, the bell and stee-
pie go feet high, are grand improve
ments. AS to the bell it seems to be
the opinion of all &" it is the best bell
in town." The church is in a prosper
Gus condition the pastor is a man of
wide experience, gathered from the
extensive travel, for there are few
States of the union in which he has
not visited. SAM.

CINCINNATI, Sept. Washing.
ton Courthouse, the scene of the
most disastrous visitations by the
elements last night, is the county
seat of Fayette County. 1t has had
a most extraordinary business
growth within the past fifteen years,
and, being the centre of rich agri-
cultural district, with excellent rail
road facilities, it has grown to be a
business place Of considerable i'm
portance. Its residents had bcauti-
fed the town with tasteful dwell
ings, and the recently completed
courthouse was one of the best in
the State.
To-day the prosperous town is a
mass of ruins. Last nights expert
ence of its inhabitants has no paral-
lei i'll the experience of any town in
Ohio. A heavy rainfall began about
s o'clock last night. Shortly after
the rain began the wind came with
a terrifying sound. Its work was
almost instantaneous. People say
it was over in two minutes, but no.
body could take note oftime in such
a fearful experience.
The fierce roaring of the terrible
tornado, the crashing of broken and
falling buildings, the sharp flashes
of lightning, the rolling thunder and
pitiless rain combined to produce
sensations of the most horrifying
character. The two minutes of this
startling experience was followed
by a new feeling among the scatter.
ed and terrified survivors more sick.
ening than that through which they
had passed. 1t was the uncertainty
of the fate of friends and relatives
All who escaped alive felt sure that
many lives were certainly lost.
With daylight came a most dis
heartening spectacle. The fair town
of yesterday lay torn and wrecked
in disordered heaps. The streets
were well nigh impossible from the
trees and parts of houses cast into
them. Worst Of all was the sight
oftue poor who had lost all and who
had no place to lay their heads
They wandered hopelessly about as
if they were strangers. OF course
the people whose houses were not
ruined began at once to care fol
their unfortunate fellow sufferers,
but the farmers soon began to pour
into town, drawn by curiosity, but
at the same time bringing with them
substantial aid for the destitute.

1t is now apparent that determ
ined effort to revise the tariff laws
of the United States will be made al
the next session of Congress. 1t is
understood that the object OF those
who will make this effort, is large
reduction of revenue, with an aban
donment of the principles of protec
ton, but with such incidental pro
lection as can be given to those in
dustries and pursuits that obtain the
attention and favor of Congress-
The theory that all raw material
should be OIL the free list, is urged
by some, who, in disguise, or for free
trade, and the neglect to adequately
protect producers of wool, which
has attended all past economic leg
islation, affords reason for profound
apprehension by those who repre-
sent this important agricultural
pursuit.

An advance guard of the Salvation
Army made its appearance in our
midst on last Saturday. The old
Methodist church on North Jonathan
Street was engaged as meeting place
and sevices were begun on Sunday
evening by two female soldiers, Capt.
AggieBush and Liet.Sarah Morehiser.
On Monday evening they were joined
by Capt. Hogan, of Baltimore. Their
meetings have attracted large crowds
of curious spectators, anxious to wit
ness the workings of this widely fam
ed organization. Those who expect
ed a scene of uproar and confusion
were perhaps disappointed, as the
services were, for the most part, con-
Quoted in an orderly manner. They
consisted of singing songs from their
collection, prayers, and exhortations.
A tendency to disorder in the gallery
on Sunday evening was repressed by
the presence Of policeman. The
only noisy demonstration was pa
rade about town before the opening
of the meeting to the sound of the
bugle, accompanied with singing.
Whether the same methods will be
used when larger numbers arrive re-
mains to be seen. The army expects
to hold forth here for several weeks,
and to be reinforced from time to
time by soldiers from other points,
