The first sen- on the occasion was offered by H. H.

Mr. Campbell, ex-Minister to Sweden,on the part of the Committee, responded to this toast in a mo ring and most eloquent address. • The Governor of Georgia, Mayor Huff, Hon. C. A. Nutting, and others, were likewise called to their feet by appropri ate sentiments of a complimentary character. At this late hour it is ini; ova hie to enter into any elaborate detail of the sereral addresses and incident of the occasion. All regret- tod when the hour for the departure of the train arrived and cut short at its meridian point this "feast of reason and flow of ml" so delightful to the en tire party. The company separated with tender adieus and many protestations of mutual interest. The visit of the Cen tennial Committee has formed one of tho most pleasing episodes in the annual ex hibition of the Georgia State Agricultural Society. Ths Rinokd Plakkt.—If any of our young people of Macon should happen to be romantic enough—or our older and wiser people happen to be scientific enough—to throw a glance on these fine autumnal evenings on tho stars, they may see in the west two renowned planets of our solar system—Mars and Saturn, acting (in the absence of the more versatile Venus) as evening stars. These will continue visible on cloudless evenings throughout tho months of Oc tober and Ncvomber. They aro appa rently approaching each other, and will seem nearest on the 20th of November. Mars is readily distinguishable by his steady light and reddish lustre. Saturn shines with a steady but dull yellow light. Recent astronomical investigations arc confirming mere and more tho dissimi larity of organization between our earth and the greater and more distant planets of Jupiter, Sa*urn and Uranus. In the Kcloctio Magai ine (published by Pelton, 10S Fulton street) for November is a fas cinating article on " The Ringed Planet,” as Saturn is appropriately termed. Mod ern science hat. loomed enough of this great distant world, more than 800,000,- 000 miles from our earth, to show that its vast glob* is in a condition of heat that would render it wholly uninhabit able to beings of earth. Saturn has a bulk of seven hundred times that of our earth ; but its matter is for less dense, possessing tho specific gravity of thir teen one-hundredths of our solid little world. Tho whole’article is full of in structive an«l curious thought. The other articles of the Eclectic also possess great interest, and this excellent maga zine, it will b«t remembered, is controlled, in part at bast, by Mr. C. H. Jones, of Georgia. •*Tii* Mottttaina.”—We ore delighted to perceive that our old friend," Porte Crayon," is continuing in " Harper's new Monthly Jlagazino" his delectable sketches of Western Virginia. General Strother («noh is " Porte Crayon's" real name) is not only a most graphic writer, but he is also a first class artist. Tne numerous illustrations so exquisitely apropos to tho verba) 'ascriptions, are all from tho same cunning hand. Nay, more. Gen. Strother does not use first his crayon, and then transfer to the wooden block the lines and touches which suffice for printing the pictured illustra tions. Ho makes the sketches on tho block*, directly, and of course in reversed order—the left of the block making the nght of tb* picture, and rice versa. Many years ago, when we had the pleasure of \ friendly admittance into his studio, we observed him engaged at this interesting short-hand" process. His pictures, I too, are always peculiar—stamped with a , quaint, an! at times even whimsical, > veri-simili* ude we have never seen in the .utitnhim of any one else since tho days of Hogarth. Gen. Strother is not merely an accomplished writer and engraver, but wields the pencil in the use of oil colors twit-i a master’s hand, and spent many jeeur* among the works of the great mas ter* in Italy. He is best known, per- Iiaiw in South by M* - Virginia Il lustrated,'' which appeared in book form •ome fifteen or eighteen years ago. He to* born, and now resides, in Virginia. May be lire a thousand years! W. G. M. •Robkt Djllx Owes.—A series of autobiographical sketches of this go: tic man are appearing in the suoeossire numbers <f Tho Atlantic Monthly of Boston. The chapter in the November number Is entitled " Interesting Peopl whom I met in London.” and it embraces the period of his visit to the groat city in 1357.

Cole was called to the chair, *md F. J. Champion appointed secretary. Gov. Smith of Georgia, the Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, then •ji wic the following report: The Committee charged with the duty of preparing matter for the consideration of a', .adjourned meeting of the citizens of (reorgia, beg leave to submit the fol lowing preamble and resolutions refer- ng to the Centennial Celebration of 1976. Whereat, the Congress of the United State* have passed an Act for the aid :md encouragement of the proper cele bration of the one hundredth anniversary of American independence, and whereas all the State* of this Confederation are invited to participate therein. Be it resolved. That the principles enunciated and *ucc*rs*fully vindicated at the cun ran/1- mouth by our forefathers in 2776, are incontrovertible and eternal in their trutu and essence, and the people of Georgia to-day are still animated by tho son* .• spirit and love of liberty. 2. That we claim a common heritage in the past glorious and illustrious tradi tions of this great Republic, and os one ol ’the old thirteen have the right, and will exercise the pri rilege of joining most Msartily in those imposing ceremonies and that gran-1 display of material and intellectual progress which is to take place at ti»e forthcoming anniversary. 3. Resolved, That we are prepared to indorse any reasonable action on the part of the Legislature and government of Georgia looking to her proper representa tion at the grand exposition of the arts, lienees, manufacture* and products of the Union. •i. That we recommend that represent ative body and peculiar institution of our people, tho Stato Agricultural Abso lution, to take the initiative in this movement, and aa citizens and individ ual* pledge ourselves to sustain any proper action tuey may take in the premise*. 6. Resolved that a cordial welcome is hereby ext -nded to each member of the disting-xished commission from the Na tional Centennial Board, whose errand among us knows no North, no South, no East, and no West. Hon. A. O. Bacon moved the adoption of the above preamble and resolutions, which, when submitted to the house, were carried unanimously. Ex-Mayor Fox, of Philadelphia, then tendered to the meeting in graceful terms, his warm appreciation for himself and friends, of the flattering reception and many courtesies which had been ex tended to tho National Centennial Com mittee by the authorities and citizens of Macon. His excellency, Hon. James M. Smith, tho Governor of Georgia, being called upon, responded in a very felici tous manner, to the remarks of Mayor Fox, who was the Chairman of tho Cen tennial Committee. He said, at tho outset, though he was not of tho number, many Southern men if not actually opoosed to tho Centennial Celebration, regarded it with distrust and indifference. Bnt more recent and correct information os to its aims and objects, had removed this quasi antagonism, and he believed tho people wore, aa they should bo, in perfect accord with the movement. He was ready to follow the lead of his constituents and give the im- primature and earnest co-operation of tho great State over which he presided, to the noble work of restoring peace and harmony to a distracted and afflicted country. The Governor's remarks wsre sensible and patriotic, and met with a oordial re sponse from all present. When he con cluded Mr. Campbell, late Minister to Norway and Sweden, was invited to speak, but said he had nothing farther to add to tho argument of Governor Smith, but would invito his gifted friend, the Speak er of the House of Representatives in the Legislature of Georgia, Hon. A. O. Bacon, to givo his views on this interesting sub ject. Capt. Bacon, after repeated calls, ad dressed the meeting in his happiest tyle. He said previous to this time, he had not only cared nothing for the Cen tennial movement, but had actually conceived a prejudice and dislike to it. But tho speeches of Mr. Campbell, Gov. Patten and others the evening bofore, ind personal intercourse with tho gentle men of the Committee, had removed every shadow of a doubt on his mind, and now he was prepared to co-operate most heartily with the movers of this national enterprise. The eloqnent orator dwelt at length upon the power and resources of Georgia, and said he was disposed to liffer slightly from Gov. Smith in his •xpression that she ought to bo made tho Empire State of the South, because he believed, in energy, manufactures, wealth pnd real progress she already oc cupied tho head of the column. He must apologize, however, for the egotism of this remark, to ex-Governor Patton, who he now remembered represented a tister State. But had not the gentleman acknowledged that Alabama was the daughter of Georgia, and surely the child should concede precedence and superior ity to its own parent. Mr. Bacon made many salient and tolling points in his pooch, and fully sustained his reputation for forensic ability. He was succeded by OXXKRAX* COLQUITT, who delivered a masterly address in be half of the material interests of the whole country. If tho present move ment had no political significance, and was free from the corrupting influence of rings and cabals and the talismanic power of greenbacks or gold (as he be lieved it was), he oould afford it his un- qnslified support. The General paid a high compliment to the fraternal spirit and patriotism of our guests, and this ;peech was warmly applauded. Mayor Fox then asked that certain resolutions which had been adopted by the Centennial committee might be read, and on motion it was resolved that they and the action of the citizens* meeting should be published in the Telkorapii xnd Mkssinokb, and all the papers of the State be reouested to copy them. The meeting then adjourned, to meet at Brown’s Hotel at five o'clock r. x., after a most delightful and harmonious session. The following are the resolutions adopted by the Centennial Committee: Resolved, That we hereby Under the Governor of Georgia, the Mayor of the dtv of Macon, and to the Committee of Reception, as well as to the peopl Georgia, our most grateful thanks for the cordial, magnanimous and hearty welcome with which we have been received—for kindness that made us feel at home, and that we anf indeed citizens of one try—for attention which enabled their great State Fair to examine and admire the varied productions, skilled labor, as well as the unlimited resources •f the great State of Georgia—for hospi tality which made us all regret that time has limits—and for the cultivapon of a strong desire to return th< our own homes, among ov in the city of Philadelphi Resolved, That our oc are justly due and are “hereby cordially made to ex-Governor R. M. Fat- Tlie Model Negro Farmer. In our ** Georgia Press ” column on the inside of this sheet will be found some remarks under the above bead, copied from a communication in the Monroe Advertiser. It is a graphic picture, and, we regret to say, in nine cases out of ten true to life. But there are some notable exceptions to this rule, one of which we have in our min! just now, and which we think deserves special mention. It is that of a freed man living in South western Georgia upon a plantation be longing to a gentleman of this city, who had run it for two years with the usual results, and in consequence had become not only grievously demoralized, but im mensely disgusted- In January last h< rented the place to the aforesaid freed- man for & certain number of bales of cot ton ; at the same time selling him all the mules, corn and fodder on the place, to he paid for in cotton by the firat day of De cember at farthust. He also agreed to furnish the meat necessary to run the place for th& year, which was to be paid for before or by the above date. The renter also agreed to keep np the fences, etc., and return the farm to the owner at the end of the year in as good condition as when put in his banda. By the 23th of September the rent had been paid, and by the 27th of October the debt for the mules, oorn, meat, etc., had also been paid every dollar, and the renter has now only a small indebtedness for labor, orders to hands, etc., to pay off with his surplus cotton. He has made enough corn to do him next year, and will commence operations the owner of eight mules, all the necessary farming utensils, with a plentiful supply of labor, and with nothing to buy but his meat. He has made the best crop with the least ex pense and with fewer hands that has been produced on the place in three years, and in all his operations has shown a judgment, intelligence and economy that entitles him to public mention and consideration. Although a person -of mnch weight with his race and able to control a considerable number of them in political matters, he takes bat little in terest in such things and contents him self with voting if it is perfectly con venient for him to leave his business to do so—if not, not. We suppose he is a Radical, but as he considers politics en tirely subordinate to the great business of improving his material condition, and laying the foundation of a substantial prosperity for his children, we conclude that he is not a very ardent politician. In addition he is man of his word in all pecuniary and other matters, and en joys the highest character in his neigh borhood, both with white and black, for honesty, industry, economy and kindly disposition. There is no one more re spected for tho possession of these quali ties than he. He is one in ten thousand, it is tmo; the exception to on almost universal rule, and as such wo have thought that not only for his own sake, but in order that the brightness of his example may cast at least one ray of light upon the dark picture that sur rounds him this statement is worthy of record. An Executive Mho does not Acquiesce in the Decisions of the Courts. The canal-boat case is exciting some discussion in the Pennsylvania papers. On the canals of that State there are a large number of coal-scows, and boats, and barges employed in carrying coal from tho mines to points on tide-water. Tho Secretary of the Treasury has de cided that tbeso canal craft, if they leave the canal to deliver coal at any point on a navigable stream, most be provided with enrollments and license like any other vesseL At attempt to enforce this regulation was overruled by several courts of the United States, whereupon Mr. Secretary Richardson has issued a circular to the collector of the port of Wilmington, Delaware, in which he says: The department lias been informed that the Judge* of the District Courts of the United States for the Eastern Dis trict of Pennsylvania and the District of Maryland have decided that canal boats are not required by law to be provided with enrollments and licenses. This begirt))u'at does iirt orquiesein their decisions, but holds that such boats must bo provided with tho documents in ques tion or pay “alien tonnage tax” of $1 per ton, under section 6, act of February 18, 1793, upon coming out of a canal into the navigable waters of the United States. Tho remark of the Secretary, that he does not acquiesce in tho decisions of the Courts, and that the boats refusing to take ont licenses must be treated alien tonnage," that is, craft from a for eign country, has caused considerable dis- sucsion. ry Sliver Payments. The Secretary of the Treasury on Mon day issued an order to commence the payments of silver at New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore and other lead ing cities where there are assistant treasurers or designated depositories to morrow. In no case will more than five dollars in silver be paid to one person, the balance of the check being payable in greenbacks. Secretary Richardson, says the dis patch, hopes to keep np tho payment of silver which' » ill bo commenced on tho 2Sth, expressing tho opinion that he will be able to do so unless a run upon the Treasury be made and silver taken out for the purpose of being hoarded. There is at present about half a million dollars in silver coin in possession of the Gov ernment, which it is thought will last some weeks, but the work of coining will still be continued, though not more rap idly than heretofore. There is an abun dance of silver bars in the country, and the capacity of the mints is sufficient for the coinage af about fifteen millions dol lars per annum in silver, without inter fering with other coinage. With the ex ception of that in California, there is but little silver coin in the country now not owned by the Government. In order to prevent any rush for silver coin the Sec retary will, in his order directing pay ment of the coin, positively forbid that more than five dollars be paid to one per son, no matter what amount may be called for on the check.

Sr. Thurman** Speech at Cleveland. Cincinn»2i Euquirer Uepurt.} Fzllow-cxtizxnb — I am here to-night to show my respect for you and to par ticipate in your rejoicing, rather than to make a speech. I shall, therefore, speak briefly. The battle has been fought and won, corruption has been rebuked, and the cau»e of genuine reform has acquired new and, may we not hope, irresistible strength. We have assembled, not to triumph in sultingly over our opponents, not to wound the feelings of any upright man, but to give expression to the natural joy we feel at a victory destined, we believe, to benefit alL And surely we have cause for rejoicing. Ths grand old party to which we belong ha* been amply vindi cated, its patriotism and honesty of pur pose have been folly indorsed, its name and organization have been preserved, and it* capacity for usefulness has been completely ilemonstrated. Disheartened by repeated defeats, many good men had. begun to despair and to think that suc cess could never be achieved under the old name and the old banner. They will think so no longer. They must now see that while free institutions exist the Democratic party must exist; and this for the plain reason that more fully than any other party, it is imbued with the spirit of freedom. It is the nat ural party of free institutions, and so long they survive it cannot die. This ac counts for its vitality, that seems so mar velous to superficial mind*. It lives be cause it deserves to live; it lives because its foundations are the great and enduring principles of self-government and equal rights. Hence it nas stood firm and in tact in adversity and in the still greater trial of long-continued power and pros perity. It has erred at times—for it is human to err—but it has never abandoned the cause of the people or yielded its as sent to the art* of corruption. It was once said of another party, by one of its most distinguished members, that it was , ‘held together by the cohesive power of public plunder.” No such remark oould ever be truly made of the Democratic party. Even when its power was most unrestrained it was a party of economy and honesty in government. Then look at the last ten years during which it has been out of power in the federal and most of the State governments, having no public patronage of any Itind, and yet maintaining its organization with the same tenacity it displayed in the days of prosperity. But tho victory we celebrate means more than the perpetuity of the Demo cratic party. It means that dead issues shall remain dead issues, and that no party can suc ceed upon any but the living issues of the day. It means that the people can no longer be moved by moan, miserable, false charges against the Democratic party in respect to the war. It means that tho Government shall be reformed, and that no genius, however exalted, no services, however great, can atone for a want of integrity. It means that tho government shall be administered in the interest of the peo ple and not in tho interest of schemers and rings. It means that economy shall tako tho place of profusion, and equal and exact justice the plaoe of oppression. It means that taxation shall bo light ened and its burdens be imposed with greater equality and justice. It means that the Constitution is not obsolete, and that its provisions cannot be violated with impunity. It means that the Federal Government shall be supported in the exercise of its constitutional rights, and that nullifica tion or secession shall not be tolerated; but, on the other hand, that local self- government shall bo preserved and the reserved rights of the States and the people be maintained. It means that individual interest shall be cherished and protected instead of being arbitrarily restrained. All this it means, for with these prin ciples inscribed on our banner we went to battle, and, fighting for them, won the victory. • It bo* been said of us by our opponents that we are men absorbed in a vain ad miration of the past, and incapable of appreciating anything that does not bear the stamp of antiquity. And the sarcasm uttered long ago against the Bourbons— •that they learned noshing and forgot nothing”—has been freely applied to us. Nothing could bo more untrue, more un just than these accusations. The princi ples of Democracy, upon which our party founded, has been, and is yet, the greatest innovator of modern times. Its influence was felt in Europe when the continent of America was yet unknown. Our forefathers brought it with them when they crossed the great ocean, and in every settlement they have made from Plymouth Rock to the Gulf Mexico, it became the vital principle of the colonial govern ment. It found fall expression in the great declaration of seventy-six, and more than any other cause perhaps served to achieve American independence. From that day to this it has battled steadfastly for the rights of the people. It has op posed property qualifications, special privileges and unjust monopoly in all their forms. It has elevated the hum ble, ameliorated the condition of the poor, disseminated education and welcomed to our shores the oppressed of the world. It has liberalized, more or less, nearly every government in Europe, and has overturn ed thrones erected more than a thousand years ajro. It is still at work to free mankind from oppression, to improve the condition of labor, and to bless all men by a system of equal and just laws. Such is tho Democratic principle, and a party like oars, that is founded upon it, most, from its very nature and constitution, be a party of progress. The obstacles to the development of the Democratic principle that was found in the institution of slavery has forever been removed by the shock of arms and a constitutional amendment, and the South equally with the North now advo cates equal and exact justice to all men. It follows from what I have said that our party is not a close corporation, as it has sometimes been called. The very re verse is the truth. True it clings to its principles with something akin to devo tion, for they are its very life-blood; but it throws its doors wide open to all who are willing to enter and act with it. assigns no back seats to those who come in, but welcomes them with fraternal re gard and terms of perfect equality. Ap pealing to the common sense and patriot ism of all who are opposed to misrule, it says: "Why will you let prejudices and passions that ought to be buried prevent you from joining the only party that is at once powerful, organized and striving for reform ? What is past is past and can not be recalled. Bnt what exists and what is to come—the present and the future—concerns us all and all alike. Upon these living issues our opinions are substantially the same. Why then should we not act together like patriotic men and by one grand effort rescue our coun try from the evils and dangers that beset it? The Republican party was founded on opposition to slavery. Slavery is gone, never to be restored, and the foundation of the party no longer exists. It can make no claim to a prolongation of its power save by a wise and pure admin istration. But unfortunately for it, un- fyrtunately for the oountry, its adminis tration, in' many and grave particulars, has been neither wise or pure. With its record of the people's lands bestowed upon corporations; of Credit Mobilier frauds and Congressional corruption; of profuse and unwarrantable expenditure in almost every department; of unequal, unjust and oppressive taxation; of official defalcations amounting to millions of dol lars ; of Freed men’s Bureau frauds upon both the Government end the colored mao, of interference in elections and support of usurped authority; of increase of sala ries and of salary grabs; and finally of wide spread derangement of the finances and business of the country, by which thou sands of men have been reduced to pov erty and many thousand* deprived of ployment; with such a record as this, it con no longer justly claim the confidence and support of the people. It is said that the sardine fisheries of France ore rapidly playing out, and that the time is not very for distant when the supply will be exnausted.

Providence, October 30.—It is under stood that A. & W. Sprague, in this city, do not suspend to-day, notwithstanding the failure of tho Now York house. Upon application at tho office of the Messrs. Sprague, tho information is furnished that a committee of investigation into the affairs of tho A. & W. Sprague Manu facturing Company, appointed by repre sentatives of city banks, will bo proposed at a meeting to be held to-morrow morn ing, to make a report, which it is thought will be highly satisfactory to the credit ors of A. W. Sprague and Hoyt, Sprague & Co. The surplus of available property at a low valuation, is over all outstanding liabilities. Upon the accep tances of Hoyt, Sprague & Co., it is stated there will be not less than $11,000,000. A plan will be presented at the meeting to-morrow, accompanied with a detailed report of tho situation, which will, it is believed, if carried out, render the em barrassment of A. & W. Sprague, and Hoyt, Sprague & Co., of temporary dura tion. New York Finances. New York, October 30.—The failure of Hoyt, Sprague & Co. caused a heavy decline in values on the Stock Exchange and a depression outsid 5. The restora tion of confidence previously going on has received a check by this event, which can only be looked upon os a public ca lamity in the present condition.

Butler to recover $15,000, the amount of two drafts seized by Gen. Butler in 1862, while he was Military Governor of New Orleans, came up for a hearing before Judge Woodruff in the United States Circuit Court to-day. Gen. Butler was present and advised the United States attorney, who defends the action on behalf of the Government. The counsel for Mr. Britton stated that in 1862 a man bearing two drafts drawn by a firm of which Britton was a partner," doing business in Natchez, Miss., was ar rested while attempting to cross from tho rebel lines into New Orleans. The drafts were then valueless, but Gen. Butler com pelled Wells, Jndson & Co., who were agents in New Orleans for Britton & Co., to endorse them, and then got them cashed. He claims that Britton was not an enemy of tho United States; that his property could not therefore be confiscated by an agent of that Government. The case is still on Another Suspension. .

Colonel Thomas A. Scott presided at the meeting. For ten days past there have been ru mors of differences in the management of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, and to-day a report was received with some degree of credit that Mr. Thornton, President, authorizes the statement to be made that the rumors are entirely un founded, and that the chief officers of the road, and its direction generally aro act ing in entire accord and harmony, and have been doing so without any inter ruption whatever. . At a meeting of the City Council this afternoon the subject in regard to an in vestigation of the accounts of the Phila delphia and Erie Railroad Company was indefinitely postponed.

The closing business reflects a disturbed feeling on money lenders. Britton vs. Butler.

The Tribune’s Washington correspon dent has-been talking to " Andy” on the back pay grab business, and incidentally what it costs Congressmen, Cabinet offi cers and the occupant of the White House, to livo in Washington. Andy said he had lived in that city off and on for thirty years and ought to know something about it. He says a Congressman can live becomingly on $5,000 a year, and Cabinet officer can maintain his posi tion very creditably on $8,000 a year. Some of his Cabinet officers lived within their salaries, and it is well known that Mr. Bout well saved money on his salary as Secretary of the Treasury. As to the adequacy of the old salary of $25,000 a year attaching to the Presidential office, it is well known that during Johnson’s term it was more than adequate for a generous and becoming maintenance of the President’s household. Mr. Johnson kept six horses and suitable carriages, all of which he bought, and the charge was never made that there was ever any exhibition of economy at his entertain ments. He gave more state dinners than have been given of Lit*; years, and was always spoken of as generous and suitable. The fuel, gas and most of the ser vants of the White House are paid for by the Government, which also provides gardeners and stablemen. All the vege tables used in the White House are fur nished without cost to the inmate, and the groceries, meats, wines, etc., are all that have to be purchased. Many of these are obtained of the army commis sary at cost prices. Mr. Johnson paid all his expenses, and retains all his bills. His expenses were from $800 to $1,600 a month, according to the season of the year. During the fashionable season his bills reached the latter amount. Be said recently, in answer to a question, “Yes, I saved something from my salary of $25,000 a year as President, and some of that which I saved in that office I had on deposit with Jay Cooke & Co.’s First Na tional Bank.” The National Finances. A special in the Courier-Journal of the 27th from Washington, says : The Secretary of the Treasury stated to your correspondent to-day that the • toms revenue for the current month would be about $12,000,000, being a falling off from the estimate of some $2,500,000. There was a decided improvement in the receipts during the post week, and the Secretary expects that November will do better t.haji October. Half a million of dollars was received from the internal revenue, making six millions thus far in October. The total receipts from this source will approximate seven millions. The returns of customs for the third qi ter of 1873 falls off three million dollars in receipts. For the month of Septem bei they were $15,963,000, as against $19,- 441,000 for the corresponding month of last year. The entire receipts for the fiscal year ending 30th June, 1873, were $188,000,000, against $216,000,000 for the ■ previous fiscal year. LATEST MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH Financial.

Starved Preacher.—The New York Herald of tho 26th says a singular scene is said to have occurred in tho Cal vary Episcapal church, Chicago, last Sun day. The Rev. J. F. Walker, tho pastor, says the account, was observed by the congregation to be mill health, and to conduct the service in a particularly feeble manner. Finally, when ho came to the sermon, he broke completely down, and, to the amazement of tho congrega tion, and not a little to their chagrin, an nounced that all that he had had to eat and drink during that and the previous day had been bread and butter and tea, and that when ho should go home after service was over ho would not feel cer tain of finding even that much. The sensation produced, says the account, is indescribable. Many of the congrega tion got up and went away, smarting un der the rebuke which Mr. Walker’s con fession of starvation administered to them, and those who remained poured forth enough invitations to last Mr. Walker every Sunday in the year could he have accepted them consecutively.
