By THE RIGHT REV. H. G. POTTER. D. D.
New York, Dec. 25.—Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who gave
Thy Son to be born of Hla mother, Mary, who setteat Thee solitary in
families, and makest Thyself households like n flock of sheep, we com
mend to Thy continual care the homes In which Thy people dwell. Put
far from them, we beseech Thee, every root of bitterness, the desire of
vainglory, and the priae of life. Fill them with faith, virtue, knowledge,
temperance, patience, God-llke godliness. Knit together In constant af
fection those who. In holy wedlock, have been made one flesh: turn the
heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to he
fathers: and so kindle charity among; us all that we. being led to the
child Jesus, may evermore be kindly affectloned with brotherly love one
to another, and to Thee and Thy holy name be honor and glory without
end. Amen.

Meridian, Ml**., Dec. 25.—In response
to a plea for protection from tile peo
ple of Wahalak, .Miss., 40 miles north
of this City, Batteries I and Company
D of the Stato militia, stationed in this
city, have been ordered to proceed to
the scene with all possible dispatch.
According to reports received here
last night, negroes for miles hud gath
ered at the little town and were parad
ing the streets nnd threatening ven-
gennee on the whites. The trouble Is
said to have arisen "over Ihe killing of
ono negro and the wounding of another
by a conductor on a passenger train
of the Mobile nnd Ohio Railroad Sun
day while the latter was attempting to
duel! a disturbance aboard his train.
A report states that ufclush has oc
curred between the race* with the re
sult that two white men were killed.
This report bus not been verified, al
though railroad officials admit re
ceiving a message detailing some ad-
dltlonal trouble.
The trouble Sunday originated while
the train wo* between Wahalak anti
Scoobu in a fight between two ne
groes. Conductor Cooper attempted to
separate them when he was attacked
by a negro known us Spencer. After
receiving several serious knife wounds
Cooper tired on hie assailant, seriously
wounding him and killing an unknown
person. ;•
When Wahalak was reached Spencer,
though badly wounded, left the train,
and when a constable attempted to ef
fect his capture the negro shot and
killed the officer. Spencer then es
caped to the woods with n well organ
ised posse In pursuit and was still at
large at last reports.
