Church Last Evening.

And Entertainment ut Fourth Street NJ. f.
Church Last Evening.
There was a very large crowd at the
Fourth Street NJ. f. Church last even
ing, entirely filling the rooms. The
exercises passed of successfully, and
many expressions of qualification were
given. The lecture was upon "Gothic
Architecture" and was a review OF the
wonderful features OF the life Of the
middle ages. An effort was made to
correct the common idea that the period
named was one OF darkness, and to bring
out some Of the great achievements for
which the world is indebted to the de-
voted workers OF those times. The I'M
surpassed results Of architectural efforts
were only small part Of the intense and
valuable activities, an era distinctively
characterized by the growth OF popular
ideas. The lecture was illustrated with
drawings made from recent photographs.
Mr.. Collier read beautiful and valua-
bic paper on washington Irving" It
would be fortunate II every youth in

good. The music OF the evening was
very fine. II consisted Of q guitar Duet
by Miss Lang and Mr.. Whiteside, a
vocal solo by Miss Carson with a cornet
obligato by DR.. Milligan, a vocal Duet
by Prof. Hammond and Mr.. Ed

DEATH OF A MOST ESTIMABLF
LADY.

In the 10Th year of her age, Mrs.
Betsy Simpson, relict of the late Hend-
erson Simpson, ESQ, departed this life
on Sunday last. Fond nature ceased
its strife and the faithful soul of a
charming character languished into
life immortal.
No one knew her but to love and
admire her. The almost innumerable
and blessed traits of her most exemplary
life made her magnet to her friends
and central object of esteem amid
every circle in all her vast acquaintance.
The learned could find company in her
presence, and around her Preside the
simplest child was made to feel at home.
Aimable, good and faithful, she has
gone to her reward, of which, reunion,
with scores of loved ones who have
gone before, will form no inconsiderable
part.
Her remains were taken to the family
burying ground at Centre Hill, this
county, for interment.

THE WAHLAK RIOT.

Dispatches give many different stories
as to the cause which lead to this bloody
riot. The most reliable yet seen makes
it's organ a personal and unwarranted
attack by negro upon white man for
disputing his right of way along the
public road. The attempted arrest of
the negro enraged the blacks and they
arrayed themselves against law and
order in armed bands, resisting to the
death, any and all efforts of the officers
of the law to make arrests. Two mean
white men (of course) organized the
negroes and lead them on to destruction
The black hord swept down upon the
whites, who were greatly outnumbered
Knowing it was fight to the death,
the whites prepared to receive their
assailants and when the battle was
over, it was found that twelve white
men were killed and one hundred and
fifty blacks It was a terrible tragedy
but was soon ended by the prompt
appearance of troops upon the scene of
action.
