He Disturbed the Chuch.

RALEIGH, N. G., January 1.-THE Su
prene court of this State has rendered a
decision in case which perhaps has no
parallel in legal annals. A man in
Robinson county was indicted for dis
turbing religious worship-a grave
misdemeanor in this State. It was stated
that he was a member Of Methodist
church, and that he sang in such way
as to disturb the entire congregation, his
voice being heard after the voices of all
the other singers had ceased. The case
vert before the superior court, and tue
trial WIS very interesting. AL these
facts were brought out a witness, asked
to give description of the defendants
singing, requested permission TO initiate
it, and so perfectly did he reproduce the
voice and manner of the defendant as to
produce bursts of laughter which, irresis.
iible and prolonged, conyulsed alike the
spectators, the lawyers, the jury and the
Judge. 1t was in evidence that the dis.
turbance in the church caused by the
sing ng was decided and serious, its effect
being to make one part of the congrega
tion laugh and to make the other half
very angry, the frivolous and irreligious
erioying i! a. fun, while the devout and
serious were indignant. 1t was further
shown that the congregation had been 80
greatly disturbed by it that the preacher
had positively declined to "give out"
any hymns, AID that the presiding elder
of tho district had refused to conduct
services in the church at all.
The defendant did not object to this
evidence. He was put upon the stand
in his own behalf, the law of the State
allowing the defendants in any sort of
case TO thus testify. He said he was
conscientious singer, and that though Ee
knew his voice wa= not musical, his con-
science reproved him if he did not sing
every time church song was raised.
The Judge nevertheless charged the
jury that it was disturbance of religious
services in the meaning of the act, aud
the defendant was convicted. He took
an appeal to the supreme court, which
rendered the opinion that "corscien-
tious" singer csusing a disturbance,
though he disturbs others, such distur.
bance is not an indictable otfense. The
action of the lover court was reversed
and the defendant retires the victor in
the singular legal contest.

a Bit OF Strange History.

WINNsBoRo, January 11.-In conver.
sation with number of gentlemen at
Blackstock the other day, I stumbled
upon bit of tradition that may prove
interesting, and as several expressed q
desire for further information, ] send it
to the News and Courier. The conver-
sation turning upon battles that had
been fought after peace had been de-
clared, as a matter of course the war of
1872 was mentioned, and the battle of
New Orleans cited as a case in point.
That brought out the names Of the op-
posing generals, and when Gen. Packeu-
hams name was called, gray-haired
citizen from the country said: "He il
buried out here near Mr.. Austin's." +"
"Who?" exclaimed chorus of voices.
"Why that general you're talking about
-Packenham."
In the questionings that followed |
CLEANED the following: The Generals
body was said TO have been packed in a
cask of rum and sent back to England.
On its arrival there, it was through mis-
take not even opened, but shipped again,
this time bound for Charleston. Reach
ing our "City by the Sea" it was sent to
Mr.. McMullen, who kept general
stock of groceries, liquors, &c. There a
.pigot was placed in the barrel, spd the
boys who had returned from the war
would congregate around the store, take
large potations of the good old Jamaica
rum and tell of their exploits in the war.
After the rum was exhausted the head of
the cask was knocked out, and, horror OF
horrors, the body of q man was found
thereinl The news spread like wild6re
aud the boys gathered to inspect the
body. Several of them had been to New
Orleans and had seen Gen. Packenhsm,
and at once identified it as being no less
corpse than that of the General. The
body was enclosed in a coffin and buried
near the store. Mr.. Austin now owns
the property He lives few miles from
Rossville, Chester County. Until quite
recently, there were still living some of
those who helped to drink the rum and
who identified the body. What does
history say? If Gen. Packenham is not
buried near Rossyille where is be bur-
led ?-.Specialto Neaos and Courier.

Why lie Needed Prayer.

The congregation of church at Elk
Rock was much shockedupon learning that
.neir preacher had departed under most
discreditabIe circumstances. On the
following Sunday it seemed to be the
aim of nearly every Que to hush up tue
scandal, and, under great restraint, many
uninterestipg conversations we're held,
merely to prove tha, the membera of the
church could arise above sensational
gossip. Just before the services we're
closed Brother Elijah P. Brookrod arose
and said:
Brethren and sisters, since we last
met in this house, something which seems
to have cast gloom over this congrega-
ton has occurred. We we're all much
attached to our minister. In fact, We
loved him; and I now propose that we
offer up prayer for the wanderer."
A sensational wave swept over the
audience. Another brother arose, aud,
turning to Elijah P. Brookrod, said !:
Il am astouisbed that you should
desire this congregation to pray for our
erring minister-you above all others. :"
"Why ?"
"Because he ran away with your
wife"
"Yea, l know" Elijah replied, "aul
thst is the reason why think he twill
need our prayers"

Onium as a Medicine.

The widest known, the most frequently
required Of oil hypnotics is opium. AS it
is the most trustworthy and powerful ano-
dyne, it probably acts as hypnotic by
virtue of its potency to annul pain and
painful sensations of minor degrees. But
there are many objections to the univer-
sal use Of this most puissant anodyne
hypnotic. It is extremely dangerous in
the earlier years Of life. Its tendency to
create a morbid appetite for itself which
it is almost impossible to break up, and the
nausea, vomiting, delirium, constipation,
itching Of the entire surface, and other
disagreeable effects it produces in many
individuals are strong reasons for seeking
some remedy which shall induce refresh
ing sleep without upsetting the whole
economy Of the one who makes use of it
as hypnotic.
Whenever pain Is the cause Of distress
ing or dangerous insomnia opium In some
made to control the dangerous or un-
pleasant symptoms 1t produces. A COM
bination of atropia or belladonna with the
opium or morphine (Which is practically
the same) generally lessons the unpleasant
after effects, but does not wholly prevent
them. One OF the bromides, with atropia,
hyoscyamus and chloral hydrate, some
times does we'll in this regard. The pain
full want of breath in heart disease Is best
relieved by combination of opium with
delladonna. Opium ought not to be used
when the lungs are seriously disabled, as
in advanced consumption, bronchitis in the
very young or the aged, or in plcurisy
with large accumulation OF fluid in one Of
the cavities of the chest. The almost in-
variable presence of opium in secret nos
trums sold for "the cure Of coughs, colds
and consumption" has been proved over
and over again, and is sufficient reason
for avoiding them. These sleep producing
''cough syrups' are particularly danger
Gus to little children and the aged. In
most individuals, even those most favor
ably affected by opium, its prolonged en1-
ployment is almost sure to produce i'm
pairment of the digestion. For this rea-
son it should not be used continuously fof
any long period. 1t seems to have an
especially delcterious effect upon the liver.

Dynamic Value of Coal.

The dynamic value OF one pound Of
good steam coal has been estimated by
Professor ". d. Rogers as equivalent to
the work Of one man one day, while three
tons would represent his work for twenty
years, counting 800 working days in n
year. He has further estimated that a
four foot seam would yield one ton Of
good coal to the square yard, and that ons
square mile in area would represent this
labor of over 100000 men for twenty
years.-Frnnk Leslie's.
