was dismantled on Saturday nisht, the24th nit., as anuonnccd. Col. W. C. A.Foster, Alex. McKay, Kobi.

During the evening Alex, wasseen several times, going np toward theChurch with mysterious looking bun-dles, boxes, etc., and be was deaf to allenquiries as to what they contained, andmany were me conjectures tuerear.

The eveuing was miserably .cold, thethermometer down to zero nearly, buta goodly number of people, young andold, assembled at the Church soon afterdark and crowded around the stoves,until "service" couiuieuccd. After theyhud remained in tho Church some time.Mr. R. A.

order, aud without any of the confusionthat is so nearly unavoidable on suchoccasions, and speaks well for the Sun-day School. Besides what was put ontne t roe iy tuc &utiaay ncnooi, any onewas privileged to put whatever presentthey wished, for their swoet heart, sister,brother, etc, "Our Choir" received abottle of Vermifuge, and great was theapplause thereat.

There were also some nice andcostly piesents ou tho tree, among whichWe liiust be allowed to mention the onefrom Mr. II. L. H. to his excellent ladva large sie phrtnre of himself. Vewould suggest to three or four certainyoung ladies that they start a confection-ery shop, for judging from the numberof candy hearts they received, theywould haveconsiderable "stock in trade 'to com mem on. A 11 went on as "merryas a marriage tell," and all tho folkswent off well pleased. We did not jsee"En passant" or "Justlna," present,though they tiiay have been there.

James 6warns went to tho roaideDae ofMr. James. Grim. near Screamers vllle.Maary county, carrying a pistol said toao ioaaea wun tow "waus." BurtonGri- -j father of James, was also at hisson's bouse at the time. Swann fired atyoangarigz,iisedtand then turned andfired at Mrs. Grigg. lie then wheeledana bred at air. Burton Origg, and againat james ungg. xue last shot wenttnrougn young Grigg's two coats, vest,pants, drawers, and shirt, and penetra-ted his bowels." Grifg-die- d the nextmorning. Swanna friends say that thefiistol was loaded with, tow wads, but

no doubt a leaden ball which pro-duced Grigg's death. Swan fled.' Griggwas an honest, moral . man. Tho diffi-culty is said to have: originated in thisway: Three or four weeks , before theshooting two disguised men went toJames Grigg's house and made him sing,dance, and treated him in a very roughmanner. Grigg spoke of it openly andgave it as his opinion that James Swannand George Anderson were . the personswho went to his house in diaguise.About two weeks after this, Andersonwas visited by tho real Kuklnx, whowarned him to cease troubling peaceablecitizens. They also went to sea Swan,but he gave them the dodge. The aboveis no donbt the real canae of the difficul-ty, but there are a number of other rea-sons are giyen. Swann is said to haveremarked to Grigg as he shot him,"What did you report me for?" Twelvecitizens went after Swann, but they didnot succeed in. arrest iug . him. Capt.Cooper was near enough to order him tosurrender, but a deep ditch intervened.As capt. V. rode around the ditch Swannmade his escape; Swann lived nearScott's Mills and is said to be a desperate fellow. His father, John Swann.was an estimable citizen, and it is saidthat he died the night the officer went toarrest his son. Anderson and Swann,during their Kuklux visitations, alsowent to the residence of James Spencer,near Screamersville, and cut up gen-erally. He spoke of it publicly, andtold who it was. After the real Kukluxvisited Anderson, the latter took bis srrroon his shoulder, and went up to Spencer a bouse ana tnreatened to kill him inbis own house. - Anderson told him tocome out of the house, as he did notwant to kill-hi- in his own house.Spencer started out as directed, and as hewent out 01 tne aoor ne snoved Anderson, knocked him over, and gave him 1

good beating, several persons interlered, and Anderson went off making histhreats. The next night Spencer's housewas set on fire, but was discovered intime to be extinguished. Spencer thengot out a warrant for Geo. T. Anderson.Peter Anderson, his father, and severalothers. Capt. Cooper caught tbem all,on Monday, Dec. 26th, and took tbem tounierprise, guarded by Capt. C, Wm. J,Lee, Dr. Geo. W. Gross, Joseph Nance,and several others. Swann is an oldoffender against the law, and severalcapiases were issued by the Circuit Courtfor his arrest, for disturbing public wor-ship at Screamersville, and for carryingconceaieu weapons.

Concert at Spring Hill.A large number of fallen Confederate

soldiers were buried at Spring Hill, andtheir graves have become sadly negleoteo. Morses, nogs, cattle, ana everycreeping thing, bare long bad the privilege of walking over the facred bones ofthe fallen heroes, until their .very dusthas purpled with indignation at the neg-lect of their friends. The noble youngladies of Spring Hill heard the cry, anddetermined to remedy the evil. Ac-cordingly they put their heads together,and a concert for the benefit of the fallenbraves was the result. A Concert wasannounced to be given at the ThespianHall on the night of the 24th alt. It wasan unpropitious night for several rea-sons. The preceding week was too coldfor frequent and satisfactory rehearsals,and it was Christmas Eye. The nightwas one of the coldest ever seen or felt inthese parts, and it was impossible tokeep the Hall comfortable all oyer. Dr.J. O. Hardin was the stage manager, andexcept the unaffected modesty whichadorns his manhood, like the ivy fadornsthe oak, he might have been taken for aprofessional manager. The large Halldoes not convey sound at all, scarcely,and the instrumental music, which wasgiven by persons who justly rank as rareanasxiiiiui perrormers, seemed to beabout as good as .the music ordinarillyheard in parlors. The singing was bet-ter, because more distinct! v heard.Some of the Charades were inimitable."The Sleeping Beauty," was doubtlesssuggested by a true artist of Spring Hill.The Hall was not crowded, nwin tn theextremely cold night, but enongh wasraised to form a nucleus arouud which asufficient am can be collected to buildthe fence around the neglected graves.The following parody was written by alady, who Hee in the vicinity of SpringHill, but owing to some cause, was notread to the audience as was intended:

Hark from the tombs a doleful sound!M v ears attend the cry

XxhfklUoa) tc Joaea AcademyThe Jones Academy is situated on the

Ait. Jfleasant Pike, about four miles lroinColumbia. The building,, a neat brickedifice, was built by James Jones, of theneighborhood, at bis ow n , cost, Jbr thebenefit of his neighbors. Prof. P. W.Dodson ia the Principal of the .School,ably assisted by Prof. F. Herz, musicalinstructor, and Mr. Tyler, PreparatoryDepartment. The Music room is situa-ted on the right, and the "Tyler Hall,"on the left of the main building. TheFall session of Prof Dodson 's schoolcame to a dose on Friday precedingChristmas, with an exhibition by thescholars in the evening. It was a' re-markably cold day, the coldest we havehad in many years, the old people say,but the Academy Hall was quite comfor-table. : The arrangements for keepingthe room , warm ere admirable. Twolarge pipes extend across the entirelength of the room, and not only keep itwarm in every part, but of an equal tem-perature. Two trap-door- s are conveni-ent for the purpose ot ventilation,

The exercises, which . commsneed atabout one o'clock, were verv creditableto the teachers. The musical depart-ment deserves especial mention. Theyoung ladies performed very, well in-deed. Among the declainicrs, Mr. K.showed an unusual degree of natural eloquence. One boy, about thirteen yearsold.alsodeserves mention. Twoor threemonths ago, wlien- - he was first ' sent toschool, he did not know - his a, b, c's.He learned everything as If by intuition,and can read and write so well that hecarried on a dialogue with another boywith great credit to himself. - Pror Heraaccompanied the piano with his violin,twice, j lis touch is as light as Aurora'sgossamer gown, and as sweet as firstlove. The exhibition closed at aboutdark, soon after which supper was an-nounced. The music room was thescene of this important event. Every-thing worth eating was in rich profusion,and did honor to the taste of Mrs. Dod-Bo- n,

Mrs. Sowell, Mr. Jones, Tom Jones,and all .others concerned in It. Aftersnpper, those that could not talk, or weretired of talking, went into the TylerHall, where Bob Chafln and bis fiddlewen evolving sweet sounds for people todance by. A number of beautiful girlswere on the fioar,.floatlng about' in thdmazy meshes of the dance, like fairiesThey were at that sweet age, sixteen;One of them, the belle of the evening, isa descendant of the royal Stuart . Jauiilyjof England and Scotland, and bears tb4name ot its unfortunate, bat beautifulQueen. She inherits not only the nameof her royal kinswoman, but also, herrare aud regal beauty. We . trust jthatshe does uot also inherit that . famousbeauty's love of admiration, and vanity.

- The original Address, at the close ofthe exercises, was a very fine ' effort ofthat promising, self made man, J. Tyfler. Prof. Dodson has now taughtthree sessions in the Jones Academy,The first session he had 40 students, thesecond 55, and the third 74. Not a sin-gle boy or girl has been whipped r ex-pelled during those throe sessions, andyet the discipline is perfect. .

The Week mt Prayer. - i

The Old School Presbyterians,tlie Cum-berland Presbyterians, aud the Method-ists have united to observe the week, ofprayer, for the objects designated by theWorld's Evangelical Alliance, the exer-cises of which were opened in the M.' E.Church, on last Sabbath night. Thehouse was crowded,' all the churchesnuitiug in the services. Rev. Dr. Smithdelivered an interesting address on, thesubject designated for the meditation ofthe evening "Inspiration of HolyScripture its sufficiency and sole au-thority for religious faith and practice."His address was able and full of beau-tiful illustrations, and was deliveredwith fervid eloquence.) After Dr. Smith'saddress, the Rev. Mr. Otts, of the Pres-byterian . Church - was - asked to makesome remarks. Mr. otts said: t

"As Brother Smith had ably and suffi-ciently discussed tho subject designa-ted for the evening, he would only add afew remarks as to the meaning of the in-fluence that brought together the unu-sually large audience that was beforehim. We have met. he said, at the in-stigation, and under the call of theWorld's Evangelical Alliance. It was agrand thought that we are now work-ing and praying In concert and harmonywith the whole Protestant Chnrch. . ThisWorld's Evangelical Alliance was form-ed soino fifteen or more years ago, and itnow embiaces, in its innuencethe wholeProtestant world. In many nations andin many languages, during the weckthesame subjects would be considered, " ndprayers offered for the same object,. t Heregarded the World's Evangelical Alli-ance as the great Protestant inovonientof the age, and it was well that we shouldbegin the exercises of this week of uni-ted prayer with the stnuv of the Inspira-tion of the tiriptnrar;tjfrThe wholemovement was bascu upon the Bible asthe origin and fountain of Protestant,life and power. The ultimate aim of theWorld's Evangelical Alliance is to givethe opei au trae H'ble to all the nationsof the Earth, aud it calls upon all Biblebelievers throughout the world to spendthe first week of each year in prayer forcertain designated objects, all of' whichhave a djrept relation to the 'attainmentof this great and glorious aim. Thespirit of this great movement, means op--

gsition to Popery, which excludes thethe masses, aud to eveiy

form of Infidelity aiming to destroy orweaken faith in the Bible as the Inspiredword of God. ' As we have metand as we shall meet every night duringthe week, we ahoald take enlarged viewsof the subjects designated for meditationand prayer. The world is the field, andthe whole Protestant Church throughoutthe world is engaged in this- - grand movemeet, In our successive . meetings, weshould feel the pulsations of the, greatliving heart Of the chnrch of the wboeProtestant' Chnrch-beati- ng in unison, asit is animated by a common spirit, amimoves forward in all parts of the earth

in concerted action and prayee .fcs theadvancement ot the common cause of ourLord and Savior. It is well, therefore,that we begin to-nig-bt with a considers- -. . ....f.w t t i cwiru ui mo lusjurmuuo oi lire scriptures,and conclude next Sabbath night with aconsideration ot the great fundamentalprinciples of Faith,' Hope; and - Love,which are the golden links that bind allthe Protestant Churches together as theone kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ.

. "Mr. Otts said he woufd not take hisseat until he had presented a review ofsome recent events, which indicated thewonderful increase of Bible influence andProtestant power throughout the - world.A few vears ago he Pope became alarm-ed, and felt that he must bestir himselfto do something to check the progress, ofProtestant influence. About ,that timethe London Bible Society had establish-ed a depot in the city of Mexico. IThrougbthat agency and the American Bible So-ciety, more than ten thousand copies . ofthe Holy Scriptures were circulated an-nually in that Priest-trodde- n land..' ThePope saw that something had to be doneto save Mexico to his powers, and 'Mexican dollars to bis coffers. He instigatedNapoleon to send Maximillian. there.The issne you i know. Mexico , ia nowopen to the Evangelical ministry and theBible. Thescheme recoiled ou Napo-- .leon in disgrace, and on the Pope in dis-aster." i About the Tsarne period' 'theConfederacy of the North German Stateswith Prussia was formed. Prussia, wasa Protestant power, and the Pope insti-gated Austria to wage war to humbleher. Prussian guns were soon thunderiU at the gates of Vienna,' and Austriawas giad to make-peac- e oa Prussia'sterms. The Pope lost influence in .Aus-tria, and did not see Prussia humbled.i ou kuow how the Pope meddled in theaffairs of Spain, and how he was defeat-ed there, aud how Spain is now openingher doors for the Bible, which , is thefoundation of civil and religious liberty.The Pope felt that he was steadily losiugground aud power, and he called thegrand Council to invest him with thatitle and prerogative of ' Infallibility.He thought that he would thusawe the nations, but the nations ' onlylaughed at his pretenses and folly.-- liievery step be meant opposition to Prot-estantism, but in every lnoveineut hisdesigns have recoiled in disgrace auddisaster on his owe head. 'His last' stepwas to instigate Napoleon to declare waragainst Germany' Napoleon is now aprisoner, and the Prussian guns arethundering at the gates of Paris. , Nomatter what the issue of that , contestshall be, it now cannot fail to be a deadlyblow to Popery in France. WhetherPrussia restores Napoleon as her vassal,ot the Republic succeeds in establish-ing itself , the result, aa far as . Popery isconcerned, will be the same.. It will boa loss to tho influence of Popery, and ad-vancement of civil and religious liberty,in Franee.: ; And where is the Pope to-day? i A prisoner ia bis own palace, andItaly is open for the introduction of . theBibie and Evangelical labors. Wo carenot what tho political purposes of thegreat movers ol these events are we arelooking only at 'the overruling aud con-trolling baud making thegrand final result of tbem all to' be theadvancement of:' Protestantism' in theworld.- - The Lord Jesua is bieakingthrones, and making the Kings of theearth, as willing or involuntary subjects,serve him and work out the ultimate ad-

vancement ofbis throne and Kingdom inthis world. And be wUl overturn, andcontinue to overturn, till . He comes,whose right it is to reign King of nationsas be is King ol saints...' u, 4

"We have only stated facts which arewell known to all yoa, who road the pa-pers and magazines, and keep yourselvesinformed of cotemporary events.. Canyou not see the finger of the God of Prot-estantism in them? That God is a prayer-hea-

ring and a prayef-auswering.Go- dj

and we are called npou to unite in pray-ers this week, for the Protestantizationand Evangelization of the world, for thespread of the Bible and the increase ofBible religion in the .earth. In' this be-

half we hope to see a large congregationon every nijrht in the week." The fol- -.
