'Flic attention of Sportsmen and Dealers

At the trial of Anns before the Examining Board
in Washington. August, 18(i(>, cartridges made
from this powder, gave far greater penetration,
range, and cleanliness, and in competition with
the principal American powders, proved in every
respect superior toull others.
At the Wimbledon Rifle Meeting in England.
July, 181*8, competing with the best of foreign
powders, the same results were obtained with tin*
first prize.
The Board convened by order <•) the Conriman

were attended by oliieers specially detached by
the Russian, Prussian and Daoi.-h Gov,mi:.mu
say. in their printed report of the numerous guns j

; Report of tlie Sunday School Com
mittee.
| (The following is tlio report of tlio
Sunday School Committtfo made to the
I Brunswick District Meetine of the M. K.
j Church held at Valdosta on the 11th inst.,
. and which we publish hy request.—Ki>.
j Ban.vkr.]
j Sunday schools, over since their ostab
lishment, have been considered by the
| ;.ood and wise as important auxiliaries
to the Church of God. llenc e strenuous
i efforts have been made by them fur their
! prosperity, advancement and increased
usefulness. A groat responsibility rests
on ns as a church and wo should not re
lax our efforts until every child which
Providence has committed to our care, is
gathered in our Sunday schools.
fairly in tlm history of Methodism, Mr.
Wesley having heard of the experiment
of Mr. Raikos to gather poor neglected
and ignorant children,in schools on Sun
days for the purpose of instruction pub
lislied an account of it in the American
; Magazine recommending his societies to
] imitate the laudable example, they took
I his advice and in the year ISIS, laboring
| hard working men and women began to
instruct their neighbors children and go
wiili them to the house of God on our
Sundays without lining hired for that
purpose. Speedily these schools multi
plied among his people In every instance
the teachers engaging in this work (or
conscience sake and not for pecuniary
fee or reward as was the case in Mr.
Raikes School. To Wesley therefore is
due the merit open ing lirst introduced
gatuitmis instruction in them.
Shortly after, in 1786, the first Sunday
school in America was established in the
house of Thomas Cunshaw, a member of
the Methodist Church in Hanover Coun
ty Virginia ; about the same time many
others in different sections of the Coun
try were put into successful operation
among the Methodists. From these
facts, it is therefore apparent that oui
Church was the first to engage in this
highly inipoi tunt and mcritorous work
in this country. Their benefits also
were extended to the African race in the
West Indies hy Ihe Weslyan Ministers
] and in the Southern Slut s by the Mctli
j odists. In Charleston S. C., they were
I bitterly opposed and subjected the
! preacher who instituted them there to
great persecution and personal violence;
that day has however hug since passed
away, and.no portion of the country
has been more zealous in prosecuting
Sunday schools both for whites and
colored than the City of Charleston and
the Slate of South Carolina—and per
haps few or none have met with more
signal and gratifying success. From
these small beginnings which appear al
this distance of time as a cloud no lar
ger Ilian a man's hand what great and
important roaults have accrued therefrom
to the Church and world, eternity above
can reveal 1 How signally has God
blessed Sunday schools and used them as
instruments in his hands in the salva
tion of thousands of tho human family,
many of whom we doubt not are to day
in t/ie Kingdom of his glory, where .Sab
baths never end and many more aro on
their way (o the same blessed and joy
ous ho r.e thus clearly stamping tho Di
vine approbation upon them. The Sun
t. . -hiio! thus open : a wide and exteu
j sive field for usefulness both to the
j preacher and layman in promoting right
i eoiisness among the children of men anil
j advancing the kingdom of Heaven. Sure
ly therefore as Christians wo have every
! reason for encouragement in tho dis
charge of our duty in this very important
field of operation.
We regret that so much apathy exists
among us as Christians in this important
enterprise doubtless intended by God, as
one of the means to he used for the evan
gelization of the world, arid we would be
more than gratified could wc excite our
people in this district to activity and a
holy zeal in a cause wo consider so im
portant and vital. Wo behave the
Church and world are dependent upon
the rising generation for their future
welfare and prosperity—it then becomes
a matter of the utmost importance that it
shall he brought up in the nurture and
admonition of the Lord that it in ay he a
blessing and not a withering curse to
them.
We regret that (here aro so few 3un
day schools reported to be in existence
in this district and the reports given arc
so meager we rejoice however that ten
schools are reported to be in successful
operation most of which are represented
to be in a prosperous and liealty condi.
lion. Others dovbtlcss would have been
reported had the circuits where they are j
situated been represented. We would
therefore respectfully r,commend to the ;
preachers in this district to make every
possible effort tocstablish a’Sunday school
at each appointment without delay in
their respective circuits, and to this end
that they bring the subject thereof
promptly and promcncnlly before thcii
respective congregations and urge their ,
establishment. It is a subject of regret
and sorrow that there should be such a
deficiency awl want 'A Sunday School j
books as is complained by the preachers
from tlied.ff.Tcnt circuits. We tliink|l ow
ever that a Well directed effort may reme
dy Ibis evil-ami the small sum of ton dol
tars might ho raised in each congrega
tion for this purpose which judiciously
expended would purchase a small library
and a sufficient number of books of in
struction for each school.
There is an evil which wc cannot t»o
strongly condemn which exists among
us to some extent in that some of the
members ut 'our church where wc have
Sunday schools whw send their children
to those under the control of other de
nominatous of Christians whose doc
trines, modes of worship and usages arc
different from ours, Wc believe it to
bo the imperative duty of every member
of our C'hhrcli to send his or her children
to our Sunday .Schools,
We make the following further recom
mendations to our people in this district
in reference to tho subject under consid
eration ill (bis report to wit :
Ist. If practicable that a convention
of the superintendents and teachers of
our Sunday schools within this district
be hold at some central point once a year
for consultation and adiiistment upon all
subjects connected with t o manage
ment course of n (melon t' e uocf and.a
gencrai interchange ol their views.
2nd. That singing onr beautiful mi l
spiritual hymns under proper instruc
tion if to ho had, ho cultivated and con
stitute one of the exorcises of all Sunday
schools.
fid. That the Sunday school hooks, of
our publishing house at Nashville, he
used in all of our Sunday schools, as well
as the Sunday school paper published
there.
4 tli. That as far as practicable, only
members of tho Church ho employed in
our Sunday schools as superintendents
and tochers—and the doctrines and
usages of Methodism he made a distin
guished course of instructions.
We arc inclined to think that hooks ol
instruction to he used in our Sunday
Schools,as well the course of si udy ex
cept as above recommended must, in a
great measure rest with Iho superinten
dent and teachers in Iho exercise of a
sound discretion and judgment.
All which wc most respectfully submit,

TIIK FUIKND IN NKKD.
The most useful and reliable f.-iend
that a man can have ii ajgood Irale.This
remark i« applicable to not only those
who aie habitually employed in manual
labor, hut also to those who have reach
ed more enviably positions in buisincss
life. Kvery day there are instances ol
men slipping from high rounds the
ladder of wealth Iliiisiucss men find
themselves engniphed in tho sea of finan
cial embarrassment from which they
emerge with nothing but them- personal
resources to depend upon lbr a living.
Clerks, salesmen and others find them
selves thrown out of employment, with
no prospects of speedily obtaining pla
ces which they are com pc ten t to fill mid
with no other means of gaining a liveli
hood.
llow many men there aro to-day some
ol whom have families dependent on
them for support, who bewail the mis
take they made in not learning useful
trades in their younger days. 'There are
hundreds of them. There are men here
wlm have seen hotter days, men ofedn
o.Tt'eni M.d business ability, who envy
tin- mechanic who has sure support fin
himself and family in his handicraft.
Barents make a great mistake when
they impose upon the brain of their boy
the tank of supporting him, without pie
paring his hand for emergencies No mat
ter how favorable a lmy’s cirenmstHiices
mr.y be ho should enter the battle of life
as every prudent general enters the bat
tle of armies—with a reliable reserve to
fall hack upon in case of disaster. Kvery
man is liable to be reduced to the lowest
pecuniary point, at some stage of his
life, and it is-hardly necessary to refer
to the large proportions of men who
reach that point.
No man is poor who is the master of a
trade. It is a kind of capital that defies
the storm of financial reverse, and that
clings to a man when all else lias been
swept away. It consoles him in the hour
of adversity with the assurance that let
whatever may befall him, he need have
mi fear for the support of nimself and
aud his family. Unfortunately a silly
notion, the offspring «t a sham aristo
cracy, has of late years led many parents
to regard a trade as something disrep
utable, with which their children should
not be tainted. Labor disreputable ! It
is the very power that moves tlio world.
A power higher than the throne of ar
istocracy has ennobled labor-, and lie
who would disparage it must set him
self above tho Divine Principle, "In the
sweat ol thy face shall thou eat bread.”
A trade is a "fliend in need;” it is inde
|icnd.nice and wealth-—a rich legacy
which the poorest father may give his
son, and which the r c cst may regard as
more valuable tins gold.- -Kn:h.
llow iif. Din ir.-A mean man having’ a
large family found it rather liartl to .
keep up the table, and has adopted the j
following ingenious plan.
“Who’ll take a cent and do without j
his supper?”
“1! I!” exclaim the children, all cagor to :
get the prize.
j The old man pulls out a pocket book
full of red cents, wh h he keeps for the
occasion, and after giving them. one a
| piece sends them off to be 1.

It it* needless to say the cents are

SCENE IN A KENTUCKY COUNT-*
HO USE.
In the go ml old timers of;Iv cut ncky when 1
substant ia!; justice was mt.uinistcnl in 1
a log cabin, after a very free and cany
manner, a unit was brought to recover
certain moneys which it was alleged'
plaintiff bad been defrtiuded out of by
the ingenious operation known an “thim-‘
bit* rigging.” In the course of the trial,
plaintiff’s counsel, who happened to be
an “expert,” it mlertook to enlighten the
court uh to the modus operandi of the’
periormanoo. Putting himself into po
sition, lie produced the three cups and’
“the little joker,” and proceeded’ sailing
the action to the word:
“Then may it please the court, tho d©-*
lendaiit placing the cups on Ids knee
thus, began shifting them so, offering to’
bet that my client could not toll under
wlncli cup was the little joker,'meaning
thereby, may it please the court, this 4
ball with the intention of defrauding my
client of the sum thus wagered. For in
stance, when I raise the cup so, your
honor supposes that you sec the hall.”
‘.Suppose 1 sec!” interrupted the judge,
who had closely watched the poiform
aucc, aud was sure that he detected the’
hall, as one of the cups was accidently
raised.“ Why any fool can see where it is
aud bet on it, and be sure to win The*!®
ain’t no defraudin tliar.”
Perhaps your honor would like to go a k
V on it?” insinuated the counsel,
do a V? Yes, and double it too, and
here’s the rhino. It’s under the middle
cup.”
“I’ll go a V on that,” said the foreman’
of the jury.
