Hoyt of Albany, in reference to enlarged work on his part, and ask ing leave to organise a church at Ca milla. On motion, It was resolved to grant the desired leave and to In- struct Rev. Mr. Hojrt to proceed with the-work, in conjunction with Elders J. O. Perry and T. W. Fleming, of Newton Church. The special order of business and for which this meeting was specially designated, viz: the call of Prytauia S reet Church of New Orleans for Bar. J. H. Nall, D. D., pastor of this church, was then ready for conside ration. Various communications from the New Orleans church in reference to the call were presented and read. The record of this church, embody ing the minutes of various meetings hi reference to the call, wore, on sug gestion of Mr. D. F. Willcox, read at length. Mr. L. T. Downing submitted a pe tition signed by all the lady mem bers of the church, protesting against the change, and praying that the pres ent pastor may remain.

Dr. Nall con cluded the argument in support of his removal. A motion was then made l>y the slated Clerk that the Presbytery grant liberty to Dr. Nall to sever his connection with this chun-h. ami ac cept the call of the New Orleans church.

Stewart’s Kilucu- tional Scheme. When Mr. A. T. Stewart bought ten thousand acres on Jamaica plains. Long Island, and entered upon a vast but well considered scheme of im proving it; he also caused a town to be laid out on the estate, which is within easy distance by rail to New York. To’ this prospective town he gave the name of Garden City, and among his plans was one to make it the seat of a system of colleges, with parks and grounds, a grand Episco- S alian cathedral, and a noble resi- ence for the Bishop, all so richly endowed as to make the scheme an assured success. Garden City is to he a sort of American Oxfortl. The college will be munificently equipped so os lo surpass, if possible, all other simiigv Institutions in this country. Judge llilioa is quoted as saying: ■•The entire expenses of a student, male or female, for beard. waslitn L attendance and tuition in every form shall not exceed three hundred dol lars per collegiate year of forty week*. Besides this, there will be offered every year as many freesebol arsbips as possible. The institutions, although endowed by an estate own ed by an Episcopalian family, will he entirely unsectarian in character.— They will he conducted upon & pol icy—far more conservative in many things than that which rules and ruins many collegiate institutions—that may be likened to a revival of the old English system. But the pnpils will be well and carefully educated, amid beautiful and moral surround ings, and in a state of comfort as closely approaching luxury as col lege life may prudently go. Garden City will become literally a college town, every rood being owned by the college management, and every thing being conducted conducted for die college good.” There is also to be a divinity school, and all the buildings are to be in the English gothic style and fire-proof. The male college building is to he finished by September, 1880. The fe male college, for which provision also is made, is to be completed with in the following year. A True Gentleman.

Mr. Finder knows the nature of an oath and he isn’t a man who would perjure himself for the biggest aud best farm in Michigan. Mr. Fin der was ordered to stand up, raise his right band, and swear that he would tell the true, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Then lie ■at down and a lawyer began: 'Mr. Pinder. you saw this aflair, did you ?” “1 did.” “Well, state to the jury what took place.” “Well, I was sitting in the house, aod my wife suddenly called ” Never mind your wife, Mr. Pin der,” interrupted the lawyer. “Why, sir, my wife called to " “Never mind your wife, I say! I want to know what you know." Mr. Finder had been sworn to tell the truth, and the whole truth, but right at the outset the lawyer wouldn't let him do either one. Then be began .- “I was sitting in my house, when—” “I don’t want to know what hap pened in your house. A fight took place in the street, and if you were on the spot I want to know it ?” 'Well, I heard loud talking, and—" T want to know if you saw the dc- tendant strike the plaintiff,”interrup ted the lawyer. Mr. Fiuder had sworn to tell nil about it iu a truthful manner, but he was now ordered to leave out more than half of the whole truth, and be gin where it suited the lawyer. When I crossed the street, a wo man 9aid—” “I don’t care what a woman said, sir!” shouted the lawyer. What that woman said should have been told, according to the outb taken, but the lawyer wouldn’t have it. “Well I saw two men fighting—the plaintiff and defendant here,” observ ed Mr. Pinder. “Do you swear that these were the men ?” Mr. Finder had sworn to tell “the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,” and the lawyer turn ed right about and hinted that he might not have seen the men he hatl sworn lie saw. These were the two men,” he an swered. “And vou saw blows struck ?"’ “I did.'” “Now we claim that not a single blow passed!” shouted the lawyer. He was defending a man with a black eye and a busted nose, who bad been arrested while fighting, and Mr. Finder had seen the fight, and yet he claimed that Finder didn’t see a blow- struck. “I heard ’’ “No matter what vou heard.” “Mr. Pinder had heard plaintiff dare defendant to strike him; and he had sworn to tell the truth, and yet the lawyer forced him into perjury. He wouldn’t let him tell the whole truth—nor even half of it. Did you see blows passed?” re sumed the lawvcr. “I did.” “And you saw the plaintiff strike the defendant first?’’ “No, sir; the defendant struck first” “What! Do you know what you are swearing to? Didn’t you just take an oath to tell the truth in the case ?’’ “I did.” “And now you are trying to mis lead the jury by suppressing part of the truth—by telling what you wisli to and suppressing what you don’t?” “No, sir. Just as I heard—” “You.heard? We don’t want to know what you heard.” “Mr. Finder didn’t want to sup press anything, hut he was forced to: he wanted to tell all about it, but they wouldn’t let him; he wanted to toll the whole truth, but they would not have it, They made him perjure himself while swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Perchance he thought that a beau tiful sunset overcoming the weight of a leaden sky would nfford him by the riverside material whereon to display the skill of his descriptive pen. Por- adventnre he imagined that strong wheeled steamers, snowy-sailed boats or graceful gigs stemming the tide with feathered oar would furnish hint wherewith to feed his appetite for scribbling. It may be that he had no aim in his wanderings, and that he went forward, as many d* in this world full of problems, not knowing or caring whither lie tended, what his goal, and thinking nothing either of wlial would come or the mysteries whose skein was being unraveled about him. As iu a dreamy mood he reached the corner of the Custom-House building, he met the historical faces of Generals Jitbal A. Early, G. T. Beauregard and J. It. Hood, who in company appeared to be taking an evening walk. Three great figures brightly shining in the paitoi-nina of days gone hv ; three statues belong ing to the Southern Pantheon. Three volumes ill the history of the Confed eracy, walking arm in ni-m. through the mist and gloaming of the even ing, with the weird gleaming light of the past around and about then), ami (he ghosts of heroic memories flutter ing across them, telling of battles won, of ensanguined fields glorious ly contested, of bright pages stenciled on the everlasting stone of history and of dark defeat surrounded and made radiant with the beaming rays of Devotion, Honor and Chivalry. There was G. T. Beauregard, the wide of out- creole population, the )cro of Manassas, the scientific (Icfen- det- of Charleston, with his sturdy, athletic form defying the heavy hand of lime as in Mcxit-o, as in Virginia, as in South Carolina and Tennessee lie had braved the advance of foes aud issued victorious from all en counters. No, this journalist is no more impersonal; he regains his identity when lie remembers how hearts leaped and hats waved when Beauregard, sitting centaur-like on his war steed, rode along the lines, in spiriting “the army” by his presence and bearing, even when disaster ap peared rife and the shadow of the wings of death darkened the atmos phere. And Ilood, thc“aabreur,”thc gallant charging commander iu Vir ginia aud Tennessee, who w alks on crutches now because steel, shell ami shot choose the bravest to maim or kill. And last, old Jitbal Early, once the most active man in the Confeder ate army, now leaning forward as he walks, resting on his stout hickory stick, his long white beard flowing in the wind, and his bright blue, in telligent eyes, bright with the reflec tion of past heroic deeds and beaming with speculation, looking toward the future prospects of his country. “Old Jubal,” as he was called, was 'a great fighter, and we recall a characteristic anecdote of him. When the troops were charging at Manassas, he espied a certain preacher riding down as fast as his horse could carry him.— “Where are you riding to so fast?” said tlic General. “To the rear,” an swered the preacher, scarcely reign ing in his steed. “Well,’’ responded Early, “you have been showing ns all (lie time the way to heaven, and now that we are all ’ going there, you take the opposite direction.” But by this time the preacher had vanished out of sight.

There is a popular superstitution against Friday as an unlucky day, aud yet it it a somewhat noteworthy fact that, for Americans at least, it has been peculiarly fortunate. Here are some facts that the Chicago Times has been compiling on the subject, and the perusal of them will sustain the assertion that Americans should be rather inclined to honor that day than otherwise. It was on Friday, the the third of August, 1492, that Columbus sailed from the harbor of Falos for tbo new world. It was on Friday, the 12th of October, 1492, that he first saw the land, after sixty-five days. It was on Friday, the fourth day of January, 1492, that he started orj his return tu Spain to announce to their Catholic majesties the glorious result of their expedition, and on Friday, the 15th of March, 14911, that he dis embarked in Andalusia. It was on Friday, the thirteenth of June, 1194, that he discovered the American con tinent. On Friday, March 5, 1497, Henry VII., of England, gave to John Cabot his dispatch for the voy age which resulted in the discovery of the contiuent of North America. On Friday, September 6, 1565, Mendez founded St. Augustine, the oldest town iu the United States. On Friday, November 10,1620, tho May flower first disombarked a few immi grants on American soil at Frovince- town, and on Friday, December 2?, 1620, her passengers finally landed at at Flymout Rock. It was on Friday February 22, 1732, that George Wash ington was horn. On Friday, June 16, 1776, the bat tle of Bunker Hill was fought, and on Friday, October 7, 1777, that the surrender of Saratoga took place, which event decided France to give her aid to the Americans. The trea son of Arnold was discovered on Friday. Yorktowu surrendered on Friday, and on Friday, June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee read the declara tion of Independence to the Conti nental Congress.

Ne» York Son | On Monday Iasi Miss Sophie Lehr- licrger died at 325 East Fifty-fifth street, from the effects of swallowing a common brass pin. When the pin was awallcd, neither she nor her motlier nor tier sisters have any idea, hilt the supposition is that she had the habit of putting pins in her mouth, mid that over a year ago she inad vertently bolted the hit of inctal. In July or August of last year, Miss Leln-boi-ger began complaining of oc casional severe pains in the lower portion of her bowels, on the right side, with some times sharp pains in the hack. These troubles gradually increased until the latter part of Sep tember, when she suffered a violent nttnek of inflainalion of the bowels) Dr. J. W. Kunney, of 17 Kust Forty] tv-sixth street, was railed in mid li-ented the apparent malady, of the cause of which nobody then suspect ed. The case as lie relates it, then progressed as follows: “The itittama- tion of tin* bowels was controlled, but (hen a large abscess formed in the right groin, from which, when I lanced it, was discharged a great quantity of pus. It continued open and discharging, and about a week from the time 1 lanced it there came out through it a hard lump as thick as a crow quill anil about an inch and a halt long, which upon exami nation l found to bo a common brass pin imbedded in some calcarous sub stance. Here is the pin. Where I have cracked oil the chalky shell from its centre and point you see plainly what it is. When I first saw it the calcareous covoring over if all was of the thickness that you soo it still is on the head—a little thicker than a com mon quill pen. That was about the latter part of November last. Al though tho abscess developed into fistulous connection with the bowels, the young lady grew stronger, and in ten days after getting rid of the lack head was able to be up and about. Two weeks ago she was at tacked witli peritonitis, or inflama- tion of the bowels, and on the 2d of June died. “The autopsy showed that there was an adhesion of the bowels and the malls of the abdomen, and through this extended the fistulous opening— fully us large ns a crow quill—perfo rating the intestine. That was the channel through which the pin and tuck head passed. Those foreign substances laid undoubtedly passed successfully through all the convolu tions of the ileum or small intestine, until they reached the blind cttl dc sac known as the appendix rermifor- inis at the end of the caccutn or large intestine, below the en trance into it of the ileum, and there had lodged. The inflamntion caused by the irritation of their presence commenced at the entrance of the ileum, and from that point the ad hesion spread. Fins may, and doubt less sometimes do, pass through the body without doing harm, but they arc liable to he detained in the cul da sac mentioned, aud, instead of passing through the natural channel, form for themselves an artificial channel, as this one did, through the right groin, with the consequence seen iu the prescut case. “I have met with no shell case be fore in my practice, and know of none recorded in the books, though’ there may he. Like results have, however, followed the lodgment of cherry stones in the appendix vermi,- forms. I have had numbers of cases in which needles that had been swal lowed worked themselves out after the lapse of considerable time, and without any serious injury. They are prone to follow the line of the muscle they first reach after mak ing their escape front the intes tine, and may come out in the most unexpected places and ways. But the heads on the pins provent their travelling so freely, and they arc con sequently more dangerous.” peace in the family, never reprove your husband in company—even if that reproof be ever so slight. If he be irritated, speak not an angry word. Indifference will sometimes produce unhappy consequences. Al ways feel an interest in what your husband undertakes, and if he is per plexed or discouragod, assist him by your smiles and pleasant words. If the wif* is careful how she conducts, and speaks and looks, a thousand happy hearths would cheer and brighten our existence, where now there is nothing hut clouds of gloom, sorrow nnd discoutent. The wife, above all others, should study to pleaso her husband and make home attractive. Etna This volcanic mountain, iu Sicily, continues to belch its sulphurous smoke and destructive lava. A late account says, it threw up to a great height a number of brilliant bails of tire which burst like rockets omitting a fiery shower. As this occurred at (light it presented a splendidly su blime scene to the beholders. During the whole timo, two loud reports like the rolling of thunder wore heard.— This is the most celebrated mountain in Europe. The circuit at the base is sixty three miles and the height lacks only 46 feet of lioing eleven thousand feet. The eruption of 18rtO, destroyed eight villages and most of their inhabitants. Thus far, at this eruption wo have seen no account of the destruction of any neighboring villages or any lives.

Lock, at the time Ills distillery was burnt, together with a large lot of corn, which wits hauled out and greedily eaten by the hogs, several of which were dying daily.

The act called forth tho ad miration of all bystanders, and the man in charge of the store winked the giant aside and said: “You are tho man I’ve been look ing for. In the hay department down stairs we have a young fellow of eighteen who thinks he can clean out anything wearing boots, and I’m anxious to have him taken down a peg or two. If you’ll go down and pick him up and’ inop him around a few times I’ll give you half a dollar. Don’t hurt him, hut just bounce hint around aud take the conceit out of him.” The big man descended the collar stairs, and wlion lie struck the last step he called out in an awful voice: “Whar in blazes is that fellow call ed Jim ! I’ve walked seven miles this morning to mash him to a jelly, and fifty dollar hills won’t buy ino off'” “‘Here 1 am!" came a Voice from behind tho hales, and the giant was hoard fccling < his way along and growling to himself: “Thinks ho runs this town, does he ? Ail I want iu this world is to git my paws on him for about the millioulh part of a second!” His wish was gratified. Thoso standing at tho door above hoard a shock and a struggle, quick gasps and a tussle, and tho giant suddenly ap peared without hiB hat, his nose ail blood and hair on end. Ho was in a hurry. He halted just long enough lo cast a glance of reproach at the feed store man, nnd then ho hopped over a consignment oi oats, and was lost on Hie street, 'fhoy listened down the stairs, and after a moment of silence a calm voice was heard saving: “Ca General News.

These triumphs of American genius are thus enumera ted ; First, the cottoli gin; second, the planing machine; third, the grass mower and grain reapers; iourth, the rotary printing press; fifth, nav igation by steam; sixth, the hot air or caloric engine; seventh, the sew ing machine; eighth, the India rub ber industry; ninth, the machine manufacture of horse shoes; tenth, the sand blast for carving; eleventh, thegange lathe; twelfth, the grain elevator; thirteenth, at-tiflrial ice manufacture on a large scale; four teenth, tho electro magnet and its practical application; fifteenth, the composing machitig for prlntera.

Sarali took his hat, told him to sit down, and left the room to remove her things. She had barely gone before her mother came, smiled sweetly, and dropping down beside the young roan, said: “I always did say that if a poor but respectable young man fell in love with Sarah, he would have my con sent. Some mothers would sacrifice their daughter’s happiness for riches, but I am not of that sort.” The young maft started with alarm. He didn’t know whether he liked Sa rah or not; he hadn’t dreamed of marriage. “She has acknowledged to me that she loves you,” oontinued the moth er ; “and what is for her happiness is for mine.’’ The young man stammered out: “I—1—haven’t—” “Oh, never mind; make no apolo gy. I know you haven’t much mon ey. but of course you’ll live with me. Well take in boarders, aud I’ll be bound that well get along all right.” It was a had situation. He had not even looked love at Sarah. “I had no idea of—” he began, when she held up her hands, saying; “1 know you had not, but it’s all right. With yonr wages and what your boarders bring, we’ll get along as snug as possible. All I ask is that you be good to her; Sarah has a ten der heart, and if yon should lie cross and ugly, It would break her down in a weok.” The young man’s eyes stood out like eocoanuts in a shop window, and he rose up and tried to say some thing. “Never mind about thanks,” she cried; “I don’t believe in long court ships. The eleventh of January is my birthday, and it would be nice for you to be married on that day.” “But—but—but—” he gasped. “There, there! I don’t expect a speech in reply,” she laughed. “You and Sarah settle it to-night, aud _ 171 advertise for twelve boarders straight way; I'll try to be a model mother- in-law. I believe I’m good tempered and kind-hearted, though I did once follow a young man a hundred miles to shoot off the top of his head for agreeing to marry my daughtoi- and then quitting the country.” She patted him on the head and sailed out And now the yonng man wants advice.
