As one poor, half - fledged bird was laboriously flying near the ground, a tigerish -looking cat spied and gave it chase. The bird flew as best it could, but the cat's swift, stealthy steps gained upon it, and the fitte of the bird seemed sealed. But its terrified cries brought relief, and just as the cat pounced upon and seized it in her mouth, half a dozen old robins lit on her back with a fury that was perfecely matosasus-er ses- . -- catship, and dropping her prey she in- continently turned tail and flew across the yard. the relentless robins pursuing her with the greatest fury and tilling the air with their vengeful cries. Not un- til the cat took refuge in an adjoining building did the birds give up the chase, awl return to the young bird. Tne latter was unhurt, and the noise of the contest having drawn to the spot twenty-five or thirty other robins, it completed its day's practice under ample protection, and amid a clattering of bird tongues seldom heard in Northern climes.—Genesco Re- publican. inee0-euall THE POPE AND THE SHEPHERDS. A correspondent of the Catholic Re- v:ew writes from Rome under recent date : The health of the Holy Father is ex- cellent. A lady said, the other morn- ing, that at an audience she attended the week before last the Pope walked with- out his stick, and going up to the throne spoke at considerable length in so clear and loud a voice that she could scarcely believe it to be that of so aged a person. On Sunday, April 25th, the Pope celebra- ted mass, 811(1 gave communion to quite a number of ladies awl gentlemen, and at 12 o'clock he walked in the garden of his 1 palace, in company of the Cardinals As- quim, Bizarri, and Martinelli. Mr. Maret, Bishop of Suro, was also present. While in the garden the Pope met a group of shepherds, who, together with their cure, had arrived this morning from the coun- try, and had brought with them seven white lambs as ollerings. They were from Prima Porta, a hamlet built over the ruins of the baths of Livia, and were a'remarkably fine looking set of men. One of them was an exceedingly hand- some youth, and he was selected to make a speech to the Pope. All of these poor people wore their ancient costumes of sheepskins :um saa.a.a.__ aa „, i ,„„„ thanked them In a ffsw kind words for their offerings and good wishes: \I shall give your lambs to those who have no food, and they will add their blessings to mine.\ The cure, approaching the Pope. said that the wives of the shepherds had also come to visit his Holiness and much wished to see him, but that they stood without. His holiness immediately or- dered theta to be called, awl in came a troop of beautiful Roman Centadini in their magnitieerit national cos(umes. car- rying bouquets of flowers. The Pope gave each a silver medal, and said as he did so, alluding to the paper currency: \You see I can show and give you what you have not seen for three years—sil- ver.'

Although it has been de- scribed as a thirty -ton hammer, the weight of the falling portion is really within a few pounds of forty tons, and the force of the falling weight is accelera- ted many times by the use of steam to drive it down fro:n the top. It is estima- ted that the use of -•top steam\ is equal to allowing the hammer to fall to its own weight from a height of eighty feet. It has been allowed a striking fail of fifteen feet three inches, and it has not yet been determined what is the actual force of the blow it will strike. The hammer is forty- five feet in bight, and covers, with its sup- ports. a base of about 120 feet square Above the ground it weighs 500 tons, and the iron used in the foundation below weighs C65 tons. It has cost altogether $50,000. One of the furnaces from which the hammer is to be fed is large enough to make a comfortable dwelling -house, and an omnibus might be driven in at the doorway. The door of this furnace weighs seven tons, and is, as usual, an iron frame filled in with firebricks, of which it required 1,500. The construct- ion of this furnace has absorbed alto- gether no fewer than 15,000 bricks, with- out including the chimney, and the cast- ing of the framing and other work con- nected with the hammer has occupied the workmen of the Dial Square in the Royal Arsenal incessantly for several months. The noise caused by the steam blast, when the hammer was at work, could be heard at a distance of two and three miles, but this sound will be absorbed by the use of exhaust boilers. no...0-4444•1111 BURIED ALIVE. The Messager du Midi relates the fol- lowing dreadful story: \A young mar- ried woman residing at Salon (Bouches du Rhoue) died shortly after her confine- ment a few months ago. The medical man, who as hastily summoned when her illness assumed a dangerous form, certified her death, and recommended im- mediate burial, and six hours afterward the body was interred. A few days, since, the husband having resolved to re -marry, the mother of his late wife de- sired to have her daughter's remains re- moved to her native town, Marseilles. When the vault was opened a horrible sight presented itself. The corpse iay in the middle of the vault., with dishev- eled hair and the linen torn to pieces. It evidently had been gnawed in her agony by the unfortunate victim. The shock which the dreadful spectacle caused to the mother has been so great that fears are entertained for her reason, it not for her life. VIRGINIA CITY, MONTANA, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1874. NOTES OF SCIENCE AND INDUS- TRY. Spechnens of a new awl somewhat pe- enliar combination of metal, to which is given the name of similifer—an article of French invention -have been exhibited before the Royal Institute- of Architects, London. This new material is stated to be as malleable as zinc and not liable to oxydize, while at the same time it iS ca- pable of receiving . as high a polish AS steel, and can be either gilt or bronzed, as may be desired. The specimens in question, as described, Were m the thrm of round ciphers, about ten inches in di- ameter, and imitable for the center of a wrought or cast iron balcony. The ex- pansion is said to be about the same as copper and two-thirds that of iron, and, being worked with ltcility, the cost is moderate. A. Berlin journal mentions approving- _ - - ”004•11 been introduced in that city. - he ordi- nary elastic bands, with rubber threads woven into them, lose their elasticity in a comparatively short time by action of the atmosphere; but by the improved method, bands free from this defect, and at the same time of superior strength :111(.1 appearance, are made at no greater cost by causing two strips of cloth, previous- ly coated on the inner surfiices with a so- lution of baba rubber in benzine, and with a band of stretched gun) threads or a gum band inserted between them, to pass through rollers, compacting the three by this pressure into a firm fabric. The greater part of the magnesia used in the world is now made near Newcas- tle. England, the principle of the process employed consisting in the treatment of dolomite or carbonate of lime with gase- ous carbonic acid, under a pressure of five or six atmospheres. The dolomite is first dried, then finely pulverized, and afterward placed with cold water in a cylinder, which constantly revolves on its horizontal axis. The carbonic acid gas formed by the action of hydrochloric acid upon carbonate of lime is by a pow- erful pump driven into the vessel at the above named pressure. The solution of bicarbonate of magnesia thus produced is carried into a vertical cylinder and sub- mitted to steam—the consequent eleva- tion of temperature regenerating the neu- tral carbonate—and then led into canals beside the last mentioned receptacle. The substance is finally gathered into masses, from which are cut the blocks , - which, after due process of drying, are supplied to commerce. Sonic very interesting experhnents have been made in France to measure oft the chemical action produced by solar light. On submitting-, to the sunlight a liquid containing equal parts of perchlo- ride of iron and oxalic acid, it is found that the reaction proceeds with great reg- ularity in the disengagement of carbonic acid gas, which is proportional to the stun of the energy expended. This en- ergy is found to be such that for each cubic centimeter of gas produced 0.001- 356 calories are envolved. This photome- ter is specially acted upon by the solar Spectrum between F and U. that is, the blue rays. In an equinoxial day the av- erage of this photo -chemical force on the forty-first parallel of latitude is represent- ed by 3.15 calories; at the equator at the same time. it is v i squetted at 479 calories, awl aese as. tan_ p s. The by-products of gas works are be- I ing appreciated more and more for their industrial and commercial value, and processes of utillization have of late been greatly multiplied, factories being actual_ ly set up in some instances beside such establishments for carrying on these de- rivative industries. One of the most im- portant of the products thus obtained at the present time in England is alma—for- merly, like sal -ammoniac, procured at great cost from Egypt, but now mainly derived from ail aluminous shale, which forms the roof of coal mines, awl which has to be brought to the surface before the coal can oe gained. Now this was for a long time a perfectly refuse materi- al, covering acres or ground, like the scorim and cinder heaps; but chemistry has found it out, and now obtains the product by setting fire to the shale, the caibon mid sulphur which it contains being sufficient for the purpose. The friable porous residue are afterward heat- ed in iron pans with sulphuric acid, to which is then added the ammonia from the gas liquor, and the three bodies com- bine with water to make alum. The mensurator is an ingenious instru- ment, recently invented, for the insamta- neous solution of triangles, also for illus- trating- most of Euclid's theorems with regard to the triangle, and likewise per- forming addition, subtraction, rule of three, extraction of square roots, solving quadratics and simple equation, and re- ducing to mechanism some parts of ana- lytical geomeig. Another instrtunent, called the ceelometer, just invented in England, illustrates celestial longitude, the phenomena of the seasons, the cor- respondence of the calendar with the so- lar year, the procession of the equinoxes, the times of sunrise at any place on any (lay, the position of the principal stars during the night, etc. The ocean soundings which have re- cently been made with so much scientific care show that in the neighborhood l of continents the seas are often shallow. Thus the Baltic Sea is found to have a depth of only 120 feet between the coasts of Germany and Sweden; the Adriatic. between Venice and Trieste, has a depth of only 130 feet; between France and England the greatest depth does not ex- ceed 300 feet, while southwest of Ireland it suddenly sinks to 2,000 feet. The seas in the smith of Europe are, however, much deeper than the preceding. The western basin of the Medeterranean seems to be very deep. In the narrowest parts of the Straits of Gibralter it is not more than 1,000 feet below the surface; a little further toward the ea.st the depth falls to 3,000 feet., and at the south of the coast of Spain to nearly 6,000; on the northwest of Sardinia bottom has not . been found at the great depth of nearly 5,000 feet. aissa-a-aaas A divorce was recently granted to a wife in a neighboring state for the cause that her husband ate, drank and slept as usual under the same roof with her for six weeks without once speaking to her all that time. The fellow was glad to get off, as he stated to the judge after thc ease was disposed 'of, that he hadn't a chance during -the whole six weeks to get in a word edgewise. The greatest truths are the simplest; and SO are the greatest men. HYDROPHOBIA. Eighteen years ago, it is said. one Dan- iel C. Weidner, of Farmington. N. J., then a -child of six, was bitten in the arm by a rabid (log. The wound though pain- ful,'Sealed after a time, and he doubtless congratulated himselt on a wonder- fiul No inconvenience appears to have resulted from it until a few days ago when attempting to wash his face, he was attacked by convulsions, which the doctors declared to be those of hy- drophobia. In spite of every effort he grew worse, and (lied in great agony within forty-eight hours after the attack. The weak point in this narrative, as we find it recorded, is the omission to state whether at any time during this interval orpieddeen vieiez ha host eeon again. bit- ten. It is plainly implied, however, that he was not, and that his hydrophobia was the result of the wound inflicted eighteen years ago. The other ease is even more striking. Twenty-one years since, a little daughter of Peter Hank,of Monroe county, Penn., was bitten as Weidner was, by a dog un- mistakably mad. She, too, under prompt, and proper treatment, recovered, to all appearance; she grew to woman- hood, and was married, without any un- favorable consequences from the wound. Two weeks ago, however, the fatal symp- toms appeared, and after four days of ex- treme suffering, she died of what, accord- ing to the Mauch Chunk Coal Gazette, her physicians declared to be undoubted- ly hydrophobia. The same omission is noticeable here as in the other ease, and, indeed, it seems incredible that hydro- phobia should result from a wound in- flicted so:many years before. Both cases are worthy of investigation, and we should be glad to see an authoritative de- ei ion on their merits by the Medical So- ciety. It will add immeasureably to the horror of hydrophobia to know that its venom may be latent in the system for nearly a lifetime, only to carry off its victim at last, when he has long deemed himself entirely secure.

A daring exploit of murder and robbe- ry lately occurred on board of a schoon- er bound from St. John, New Brunswick, to Portland, Maine. Some designing Ill low on shore at St. John saw, that the captain received a good deal of money for freight. Just as the schooner was about to start he asked. the captain if he 'might be allowed to work his passage ou her to Porthind. The captain took him on board. One night at the 12 o'clock change of watch he attacked the captain by firiog a pistol shot at him. The ball grazed the captain's head and he ran to the cabin to get his revolver. The mate was called and coming on deck he was knocked down by the mutineer, who af- terwards fired a pistol ball into his head. That fixed Min. There were two or three other men and they and the captain be- gan to wage war upon the desperado. The captain was shot and wounded. The men tried to seize the fellow and throw him overboard, but he was too many for them and they ran up into the rigging to bide from a pistol that seemed to hold an unaccountable number of shots. The captain had exhausted his revolver and was too weak to reload. Finally the sea monster cut the halyards and sheets let- ting the sails down, got into a small boat and cut loose from the vessel and was soon out of sight. The craft was com- pletely disabled. She raised signals of distress and was picked up and towed into Rockland. A LIVING POP -GUN. There is a little fish, the chatodon, abounding in the eastern seas, from Cey- lon to Japan, which secures its prey by means of an instruinent like the blow- pipe used by mischievous school -boys for projecting peas and other means of tor- ment. The nose of the fish is a kind of beak, through which he has the power of propeling a drop of water 'with force enough to disable a. fly, preparatory to swallowing it. His aim is accurate, and he rarely misses his object. The unsuspect- ing tly sits on a spay of weed, a twig, or a turf of grass, near the water pluming: himself in the warm rays of the sun. The fish cautiously places himself under the fly, stealthily projects his tube from the water, takes a sure aim, and lets fly. Down drops the little innocent to be swal- lowed by the fish. dimi••••••• NO. 32. THE EMMA MINE—MEETING OF ONE OF THE JAPANESE STUDENTS THE cora PANY IN .LON DOM. EXEC(' TED. The ordinary meeting of the famous Emma Silver Mining company was held on the 15th ultimo in London. It was a very stormy meeting, and resulted hi a complete change in the direction of the company. Mr. Anderson, M. P., the chairman, confessed that the affairs of the corporation were in a bad way ; but he declared that everything possible had been done; that the expenses had been kept down, and that the cause of the want of success was the absence of good silver ore in the mine. This was very unsatisfactory. The chairman and oth- ers who were supposed to know about the affairs of the company were closely questioned. and there were reerimina- in Ow directors on am_ course pursued by certain shareholders. One of the latter created a sensation by reading a letter from one of the promo- ters of the company in 1871, advising his correspondent to make what money he could while the undertaking was still warm. A motion was at last made by one of the dissatisfied stockholders to the following effect : \That this meeting is of opinion that, taking into consideration the whole of the circumstances connected with the formation of the company, and the manner in which the affhirs have since been conducted, it is advisable that a complete change be made, and that the whole of the board be called on to re- sign their office at once, and that, in the event of that not being complied with. immediate steps be • taken to remove them.'.' After along discussion, this was defeated. A motion was then made that the chairman be requested to resign, which was lost by only seven majority, whereupon Mr. Anderson resigned, his announcement being received with cheers. Other directors also resigned. and new members. were elected, one of them being the mover of the request to the chairman. The cause of free thought and unfetter- ed expression of opinion on religious subjects has received a powerful impetus from the proceedings of the recent Chica- go Presbytery. Vlase-0--esses A LUCKY GOLD MINE MPLCULA- TION. So many persops waste their lives in vain attempts to make their fortunes that it is pleasant to hear of one ease at least in which a large fortune was suddenly awl unexpectedly made by a stroke of good luck coming in the very \nick 01 time.\ The Ballarat Star - relates the fol- lowing story ot:a gentleman \now rolling in riches, and a well-known Sandhurst speculator :\ This gentleman having in- vested all his money in a mining venture at Sandhurst, tbund himself without the means of meeting the fortnight's expend- iture, whieli amounted to 21E., awl the prospects below beinfr no cheerier than tu a.. and refiNed to COntin114i their work unless their pay was forthcoming. The bank was appealed to, but. secure in its pos- session of the plant, declined to advance another copper; and was, in fact, pre- paring to place its paws on the preperty. Thus situated, and feeling disconsolate enough under his unsuccessful appeal to the bank, the luckless speculator sat on the trace with sonic of the men and ex- plained the position of afiliirs. A num- ber of the miners had come from below to get their wages, leaving only two un- derground, who wished to finish putting in a blast before coming up. Of course, tio money was forthcoming to those on top, and just as they were about to leave off work the sound of the blast below, reached their ears, and they waited for their mates coming up. Their astonish- ment may be imagined, when the men appeared with several pieces of quartz studded with gold. The drive was eager- ly visited, and a number of willing hands soon had another blast off, which dis- closed the reef they had been vainly seeking for during the long weary weeks previously, and which they had reached at last. All danger of ruin was now at an end, and the bank, meanwhile hearing of the good news, supplied the cash, even sending their messenger0 with it in post haste to the claim, and a friendly intim: thin that as much as was required could be obtained. The gentleman referred to has still a large interest in. time same,ehtim and others adjoining, and in dividends alone he has netted since November last no less a sum than 144,0001., or about 35,000/. per month. MORE MURDER. The intelligence conies that twelve in- surrectionists, against the Japanese Gov- ernment have just been executed. Among the number was Katsuki, who was a stu- dent at the Troy Academy about four years ago. The Troy Times says: \He remained nearly a year, giving evidence of superior talent, and an ambition rare among his countrymen. His great aim was to become a statesman. Ile not only made the institutions of his own land a study, but industriously examined and observed the workings of our politics. As Troy did not afford the desired facili - ties, he went to Albany about three years ago, in order to be an observer of our State Legislature. 1Vhile there he re- ceived private Instruction in hi ftensiernie studies. When the Japanese Embassy came to this country he was pursiladed to accompany a son ot one of the em- bassadors to England, where they both entered upon a course of study. A few months since he returned to Japan. his friends are sure that he was not a revolu- tioniet iii sentiment. Ills district is in a violent state of insurrection, and it is probable he joieed the rebe;s to save his life, only to fall by the hand of the Gov- ernment. He was about twenty-two years of age, of a commanding presence, and while here was the chief counselor and adviser of his comrades.\ The Carbondale, Ills., Observer, of a late date, relates the following most cruel and inhuman murder in Williamson coun- ty • 'One night last week a peddler stopped to stay all night with a family consisting of a mother and two daughters. The mother was called away during the night to see a sick neighbor. After the peddler and the girls had retired to bed, the hus- band of the sick woman came to the house, and after locking the door leading to the peddler's room, told the girls that if they did not produce the money be- longing - to their mother, supposed to be about $800, he would kill them. They Persistently refused to tell hint where the money was, whereupon he drew a knife and cut the throats of both the girls. Meantime the peddler, hearing the noise, broke down the door while the murderer was searching for the money, and quick as lightning shot him dead on the spot. He then went to the house where the mother of the murdered girls was, it be- ing the nearest house in the neighbor- hood, and broke to her the terrible news. When describing the murderer the sick woman swooned away, with the excla- mation My God, it was my husband!' And so it proved to be. Undoubtedly the idea of the villain was to kill the girls and obtain the money. leaving everybody to suppose the dastardly deed was done e b r y ee t d it otherwise.\ hepedd le le Iise peddler.

Under this title the new York Times brings its influence to bear to prevent the passage of' the civil rights bill in the House: No one would think for a moment of making such a law as the one now pro- posed for the benefit of the Irish or Ger- man immigrant, and it is not singular that the popular sense of justice, which is always in the advance, of that of legis- lators, should be thus especially favored. If it is intended to break down social prejnees it will prove futile, for these are and have ever been beyond the reach of legal enactments. If it is designed to give the negroes rights which are not ac- corded to other classes of citizeas, it will equally .be a dead letter, for the people will not tolerate any destinctions in the law for or againet any class. This bill is, in fact, a distinction against all classes except the negroes, and as •such it is sure to meet with very general epposition. it is accepted as a Republican measure the party is sure to suffer from it. This fact was very clearly recognized during the life of Senator Stunner, and we do not see that his death has made any dil- a has been urged that this bill is re - t which the Republican par - o t col te the policy - of recoa- f s e ti r ri T tt e.. L i t e iy entered at the close of the rebellion. But that policy contemplatee nothing more than the political entranchisement of the blacks, and this was secured by afe constitutional amendments. It was no part of the Republican purpose to force mixed schools upon the people, or to confer upon any class the privileges specially accorded to the negroes by this bill. The great question is whether such a law as this is necessary to protect the blacks hi any of their material rights. That point was almost entirely over- looked by both sides in the Senate, but we hope it will be given the weight it deserves in the House, where Gen. But- ler has already brought hintself Ibrward as the especial champion of the bill. The latter tact is in itself sufficient proof that the measure is one which ougbt to be very carefully scrutinized before it is al- lowed to become part of the laws of the land. NEW STATES.

S. II. Ruggles, one of the speakers at the Social Science Congmss, said that. the people of ten States lying north of the Ohio River owned, in 1850, farm proper- ty valtas1 at $914,000,000. The popula- tion of these States had doubled in the past ten years. In 1e70 the value of this farm property was $5,132,000,000. The value of the farm produces was not given in,1850 and 1860, but in 1870 it was shown in these Setes to be $978,000,000. The farmer was not a serf. He had no tyran- nical landlord to oppress him. It was shown that 973 out of every 1,000 farmers in this section owned their farms. In 20 years they had accumulated $5,000,000,- 000 worth of property. The census of 1870 showeq that there. were 2,000.000 farmers. 'this would give an aeeratre amount of $2,400 to each. It is shown thoy had paid their help less than 10 per cent of their income. They had paid $91,003,000 for help. It was shown that each and all of these poverty-stricken farmers [laughter] above the age of 10 years were in the receipt of mm income of $160. In the light of this great progress what would be the result in the year MO? In 1850 there were raised 300,000.- 000 bushels of grain in those States; in 1860, 500,000,000 bushels; in 1870.810,000,- 000 bushels, or 21,000.000 toils of grain. THE CHURCHES OF THZ CAPITAL. \Perler weites from Washington to the Boston Journet of church -going in that city: \President Grant and family are regular attendants at the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal church, which is a showy structure, with a chime of bells awl memorial stained-glass windows. Until Mr. Lincoln's day the Presidents used to attend at St. John's Episcopal church, which now numbers among its congregation Secretaries Fish, Belk nap and Robeson, with their families, and is regarded as the most aristocratic place of wor.- , hip in the city. The' Episcopal Church of the Epiphany has a wealthier congregation, and the forums of the ser- vice are there more strictly adhered to. The Roman Catholic churches are al- ways well attended, and some of the best families are devout worshippers. The singing at St. Aloysius, which is un- der the control of the Jeeuites, is especial- ly excellent. The Presbyterians are nu- merous here, Rev. Dr. Sunderland being their finest pulpit orator. Many New Englanders, including Speaker Blaine, Sena tors Buckingham, Ferry, and Wash- burn, ex -Sena' or Pomeroy, Judge Po- land and Mr. Dawes, worship at the Con- 0 - rec - ational church.

The cotton factories of Columbna, Ga., have taken 6.442 bales of cotton thus far, an increase of 1,742 over last year. One cotton mill in Georgia, last year, sold goods to the amount of *133,339, and realized a net profit thereon of $2245; It is not generally known that South Car- olina exempts all newly established manu- facturers from State taxation for ten years after they begin business.

They always happen a long way off, like the generality of eclipses, transits and other events of high character, but the lesson is all the same, and we willingly take the narrator's word as the truth. Osborn went to California fifteen years ago. He was one of the unfortunate. lie found no gold, and was helplessly sick into the bargain. A ft llow-adven- hirer who had struck a held, thought there was something in the sick man worth saying, so he tended him, and brought him out, and crave him $250 to buy tools and find some place to go to work. The nurse told his patient, he needn't trouble himself about the pay- ment and get sick again from hard work. He could pay when he had the money to spare. The two separated. In eigh- teen months Osborn sent his nurse $1,250 as interest on friendship, and the other day he met the old friend who had saved his life, and handed him a package, with instruction not to open until they separa- ted again. The package contained a deed for one -sixth of a rich silver mine, which the receiver sold for $80,000 cash. X'%' nrszv. A gentleman just ii. from the new plac- er mines at San Jacinto, informs us that the miners are still making good days waees, and expects great results when the bed rock shall have been reached.

The British government is going to im- prove the advantage gained by the con- quest of Ashantee, and a new colony 16 to be formed for the purpose of uniting that region more closely to the kingdom.

The wife of George Steere, a respectable citizen of Newport, has suddenly disap- peared, leaving a note that she had gone for ever, and she is supposed to have corn- muit.ted suicide. The couple had quarreled. A young lady of Portland has purchased the fast yacht Spy, and is fitting her up for the present season, in which she will find a home on the rolling deep, accompanied by a lady friend of the same city. Mrs. Marrowfat says \when a woman's eye begins to look around her in the world, it lights with most satisfaction on some oth- er woman's bonnet that isn't as expensively trimmed as her viva?\ \Courtship observes that great author- ity, the Rev.

Club life is taking the place of home life. In Massa- chusetts there are two hundred thousand old maids. Think of that, dear ladies! Isn't there something wrong in society? A Boston man and a Titusville, Pa., maid had a quiet dance all to themselves the oth- er day. He did the dancing while she ape plied the cov:Itide, and he doesn't dance at- tendance on her any more. Neither does he insult Titusville ladies as much as he did. It was the Detroit Free Press that gave publicity to the fact that Maria Lovejoy. of Fond du Lac is now pushing her fourth breach of promise suit, and the railroad has had to put an extra train on for the benefit of the yuung men who want to get out of that town. RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. A saint of God may suffer and not sin, but he cannot sin and not sutler. The Christian at Work thinks that there is an epidemic of church fights. The Quakers of North Carolina are going . to build a `'75,000 college near High Point. The fire of discord is more ruinous to thin church of Christ thau the lire of persecu- tion. The Irish Synod is discussing the Atha- nasian creed, and will probably elicit a Pa- pal bull about it. The colored people of Belleville, III., have erected at their own expense a church and a school house. The MA\. Lewis Rosecrans, son of the general. recently closed a very enecesetul mission at Brattleboro, Vt. The Vermont Episcopalian hold their an- nual convention at Poultney on the second Wednesday of July. It is said that the Sunday -school work in Kentucky is in a more flourishing condition than for years past. Those who do not recognize God in the pages of Scripture, will seldom acknowl- edge godliness in the person of man. • The Methodist church of Joliet has raised $2,000 for the purpose of building a chapel at the rolling mill near that place. The Church Union has a department de- voted to \Heaven but whether from spe- cial correspondents or not is not stated. The number of additions to the Reformed Church,in the United etatemince the open- ing of the year amounts LO about 3,000.
