The Winilliville Celebration.
It was our good fortune, on the 4th
inst., Saturday last, to be present at
the annual May festival of the Union
Sabbath School of Smithville. Al
though our stay was limbed, wc witness
ed enough to commend the good people
of that section, for the deep interest
manifectcd in the all important work of
the Sabbath School.
We reached the depot at eleven
o’clock, and proceeded to the church,
which we found filled to its utmost ca
pacity, and even the aisles erowdid nidi
intent listeners. Wcentered in time
to hear the concluding eloquent appeals
of Maj. Ry lander.
Then followed one of tic moat appro
priate and interesting addresoe for chil
dren that wc have listened to in many
a day, in the characteristic style of II v
Mr. Chaudcin. 11 is “tactic*" and
“manual of aims” for the Sabbath
School army, are complete, easily un
derstood, and calculated to make good
soldiers.
Rev. 11. D. Moore, of Albany, wa«
the next speaker. His was a combina

cult to excel Hi* faithful and beautiful
niind-p icturc6 for the cncouragemcut of
the youDg, will, we hope,prove to be
“bread upon the waters,” anl add stars
to his crown.
Next came a “short and sweet” issue
of eloquence from our genial fellow
quilldrivet, Sweet, of the Albany Aries
And last, (and somewhat less) came
another one (f the -‘starving fraterni

withstanding the lateness of the hour
and the close proximity of a sump tuous
table.

The generosity and goad taste of the

Horrible Outrage. —The 22
Times gives the details of a horr bio out
rage committed by negroes upon a fam
ily named Peters, living on Dog R : ver (
at no great distance from Mobile. The
brutes broke into tbs house at night,
beat the father and sons until they were
insensible, outraged the mother and
daughter—the latter a girl twelve years
of age—stole soma thirteun hundred
dollars in gold and currency, and made
their escape.
Every effort is being made to capture
the fiends and bring them to summary
p unGhnieut. As before remarked, such
outrages are of terribly frequent cecu
ronee, and in most instances may be
traced to the pernicious influence set to
work among the black population- by
bad white men who are trying to u«e
that class for their own villaineus pur
poses.

Wc know them to boa couple of swind-1

not only by refusing to pay their adver

worthless nostrums.
We freely give them the benefit of
this notice, and trnst that our brethren

d*jfv which every man owes to his own depc-n
--dMifs, and to the com mindly. II« who, #neg

z iiu He has no right even to risk the dunce
of throwing the future support of his family,
in case of his death, on the comniubi’y at
large, or on relations and fiiends, when it i.s
in hi* power to eisily and purely provide
against such contingencies. The only ques
tion which every man, having others depen
dent upon him for support, should ask him
sdf i«, “In what Company shall I assure?”—
Tbe question has hum well answered by one
of our most prominent writers, who savg in
reply to it: “Just as you know what banks
are good and what bod—by irquiring, by u«-
i’tg your common sense, just as you fi and out
a good doctor, h good lawyer, a good school,
a good hotel. Ask questions Goto honest
men who do know. I have assured mv own
life in the Kquitable Life Society of
the United r- aVs, and have thus been made
better acquainted witn its affiiis than those
of others. I wbou?d select it again if I wure
to choone again.” () i ex;»niiuiug the official
public records m specting the subject, we find
that the Kquifabte standi in the very from
rank of all tbe L»fe Companies of the world.
