O. A. WARNER 60. fc6 kR. MONOK'S HEALING AT LAST DIB "Hi woeit jout "unneuan ueauoc Damces," Names and Addresses of Brooklyn Peo ple Found in tho Possession of John Daly.

Liverpool, April 26. John Daly, the suspected dynamiter, has been removed for trial to Birkenhead, where the arrest was made. Mr. Poland, the public prosecutor, said that papers were found in Daly's pockets containing tho names and addresses of people in Brooklyn and New York. He asked tho court that Eagan might be remanded for another week, in order that Daly and Eagan could be arraigned together.

Eagan was accordingly re manded. The trial of Daly was resumed later in tho day at Birkenhead, but made little progress. The prosecu tion stated that the prisoner, when arrested, was found to have in his possession bombs of a dangerous kind and materials used in connection with them. The prisoner was again remanded till next Thursday. Birmingham, April 26.

James Logan, the supposed confederate of John Daly, who waB arrested two weeks ago and has been in jail here awaiting trial, was arraigned to day. Mr. Poland, the prosecutor in behalf of the Government, declared that Daly and Eagan were accomplices. The police, ho stated, had found a tin can belonging to Eagan containing treasonable documents. Ono dated 1869 gives an explanation of tho constitution of the Irish Republic Another is a manifesto proclaiming that in case England should become involved in war Ireland must riso or Irish nationality would become a byword and a reproach.

The brethren are eihortod to provido themaeWeB with anna, to practice shooting and to subscribe money for the purchase of war materials. They are urged to work quietly, but determinedly. Beside these documents tho polico atyo found samples of cartridges and arms, The tin can was found in Eagan's garden. In it was a book containing the rules of the brothorhood. Among other things the members wore required to subscribe three pence monthly for the purchase of war materials, and a penny monthly for working expensos.

Tho centers were to buy tho war materials and the members to learn to fire well and rapidly. The record showed that the brotherhood had 8,291 old and new rifles and revolvers. FIRES IN THE FORESTS. Tho Flames Not Quenched by Yesterday's Rainfall Fires havo been doing more or less damage to the forests in many places on Long Island, and yesterday's storm did not quench tho flames. The woods in the vicinity of Bayshore and Patchogue have been burning furiously for two days.

Firo swept over the scrub oaks at Brontwood and destroyed a large amount of cord wood. The farmers had to fight the firo to aavo their homes from destruction. Three hundred acres have been burned over at Woodbury, and among the timber that has either been destroyed or badly damaged are several thousand railroad ties. Tho biggest fire at present is in the Deer Park woods. It started in the pine woods near tho residence of Smith Robbins, on the road leading from Dix Hills to Deer Park.

The fences stretching between Mr. Bobbins place and the farm of John Bundwick wero all destroyed. Half a mile north of Deer Park the firo crossed the road and burned through the forest to Melville with great rapidity. Nearly 1,000 acres were burned orer in the vicinity of Melville. The pine trees wero burned with in twenty feet of David Skidmore's house, and a lot of hay catching fire in another place communicated to the hay in tho barn, and the building was destroyed.

Three hundred mou were battling with the flames at one time. Georj Pearsall lost seventy five cords of wood, and every landowner has lost more or less. Nearly every person who has timber largo enough for railroad tics is cutting it off to prevent destruction by fire, and within a few years the timber growth of Long Island will have disappeared.

Tredwell, one of the heirs of the late Sarah Burr, resides at Port Washington, IM and takes pride In keeping a few fast horses.

Isaao New land, a resident of Brooklyn, desiring a stepper heard that Mr. Tredwell hod one that would suit him and went to Port Washington to inspect the animal. The result of the trial of speed was that Mr. Newland insisted on purchasing tho horse, whilo Mr. Tredwell appeared loth to eell but they finally agreed on the price, (100 and, giving a check for the amount, Mr.

Newland brought the horse to this city. An unskilled veterinarian told Mr. Newland that tho horse had tendencies to unsoundness, and becoming alarmed he stopped payment of the check and Bent the horse back to Mr. Tredwell. Mr.

Tredwell concluded that he had not acted wisely in carrying Mr. Newlaud's cheek for a week, and refused to receive the horse. The steamboat company left the horse with the villago constable, who sold the animal to satisfy the board bill, and Mr. Orr purchased him for S160. The horso has never Rhowu a blemish since and can trot in 2:32.

M. A. C. Frank H. Hart, the West Indian negro, who arrived lato last night, looks as fresh as can be.

He says he intends to win the race, Sullivan is said to havo roado a vast improvement in the paat two days, and Noremac, the Scotchman, whose right name is Cameron, has made the greatest improvement on the track, both iu his running and walking. At the various pool rooms in the city ho is quite a favorite with the bookmakers. An old veteran Baid to the reporter as Noremac took a run of a mile around the track Look at the Scotchman, will you? He moves like a locomotive. There is no jar or jerk to him. I'll wager that ho will win the race, for he's plucky, and will hold out to the last." BoweU, tho champion, is by far the favorite.

He appears to bo in excellent condition. He said himself last evening that he never folt more like entering a race than ho did this one. When asked if he thought 575 miles could be ctfvered by the winner, ho said with a smile ou(his face, Well, I can say this, and see if I don't speak the truth, the man who wins this race has got to be a good man, and he will have tomako at least C25 miles, because thero aro plenty of good men entered, who can easily make 575 miles, and this will be my last race." Fitzgerald is in good condition and says his great antagonist in the race will be little Viut, from Brooklyn. He saya that bo will cover 600 miles, and more if neces Bary.to win. The greatest attraction in tho race, it is thought, will be Nitaw eg bow, tho Indian scout.

He will bo attended to night by a great medicine man from the TVest. He will also be visited by a band of Indians, who will give him a send off with a grand salute of war whoops, that will doubtless make the blood in the veins of tho other contestants run cold when they see the warrior coming after them. It will bo a race for life with the Indian," said one of the sporting men present, "and as he has a good record bets are now being made 8 to 1 on Of the other men entered all appear to be in excellent condition, especially Panchot, tho Buffalo postman, who says be will make the beat race of his life.

Remarkable Cure Of Sprained Back and Weak Spine.

No. 185 Fifth avknue, New York, April 24, 1884 Somo years ago, in liftinc a heavy weight, something broke in tho small of my back, and I was confined to my bed fur over months. I could not Bit up without intenso pain, and the lowar part of my body was cold and numb. The first physician used linhnents, capsicum and much rubbing; tho second tried electricity; the third burned me with hot iron; the fourth tried acapcine plaater; then in succession capcina and strengthening plasters; but all in vain. At this end of threo months 1 was no better; I couid not sit up or walk.

In despair I discharged my doctors and for some weets did nothing. Then I saw the caeoofMrJ. Ham. el, of Bo'ckaway Beach, cured of a weakspiuo by Allcock's Plasters, and I bought three; one I applied at tho small of the back and the other two above. I noticed nothing the first day; the second considerable itching was felt along tho spine, and the more itching the better I felt.

Tho third day the legs were less numb. The fourth day considerable perspiration appeared under the plastora; so they were takon off, the spine well rubbed, and in four hours three freah Allcock's Plasters were pat on. Next morning tho itching begun and now life appoared to How in my veins. These plasters I kept on nearly a week. They wore th in removed.

1 was well rubbed and 1 waited twenty four hours before putting on fresh AHcook's Plasters. After this I began to sit tip in bed a little. Coldness and numbness woro gone. Kvery day was stronger, better and more hopeful. The plasters appeared to act on the brain through the spine and filled Din with nervous furco.

I changed the plasters evory four days. In ono month after using Allcock's Plasters I got up and walked a littlo. In six weeki I felt a'most well and resumed business, but I woro the plasters for some months. Whenever I ottch cold now it appears to settle on the weak rpot and lays me up for a day or so; bnt couple of Allcock's Plasters, so soothing and ponotrating, quickly cure mo. I must say herd I beMeve these plasters aro the 1 eat external remedy over discovered.

How much tsuffareng would have been saved if I had got bold of them first I have tcld my story out of gratitude, and that suffering humanity may profit by my experience.

Special to the Eagle. Washington, Aprjl 26. Leonard Moody, Herman Liebmann and John F. James, the Montague street real estate agent, have been summoned by telegraph to be present at the meeting on Monday of the sub committee that is investigating the proposed purchaio of the Federal Building site in Brooklyn, C. Buell, who has preferred the only charges in connection with the purchase that have been placed before the committee, will also be requested to appear beforo the committee on the same day.

Secretary Folger was with tho committee for an hour this afternoon just previous to taking the train for Now York, whewi he has gone to spend Sunday. His statements to the committee were similar to those made by Architect Bell at the morning session. He fctill seems to bo thoroughly of the opinion that the Johnson street sito was tho best, taking aU the circumstances into consideration, that could be procured in Brooklyn for the money he was at liberty to expend. Mr. Pusey, a member of the Sub Committee, told me this afternoon that the committee was now merely making a preliminary Inquiry.

It would be time enough to discuss that question after the stories on both sides havo beon heard. THE SHIPPING BILL. General Slocum, as chairman of the Committee on Shipping, had chargo of the Dingley bill to remove certain restrictions on the American merchant marino that passed tho House this afternoon. Tho bill Is a most important one, andia calculated to revive the ship owning interests in this country. It reduces the tonnage tax, and does away with the hospital tax, and provides for other important modifications in tho existing law.

An amendment, made by Mr. Adams, of Now York, does away with tho hospital tax both on foreign and coastwise vessels. OiiginaUy ships in tho foreign trade were only included. The most important amendment made, however, was ono offered by Mr. Cox, of New York, to provide that ships of four thousand tons burden, built abroad but owned by citizens of tha United States, Bhall bo admitted duty free, and be entitled to receive American registers.

This wao going much further than Mr. Dingley, the author of the bill, who is a Republican, desired. The amendment was carried by one hundrod and eleven to sixty nine which was practically a party vote. Five Republicans voted with tho Democrats, and ten Democrats with the Republicans. Among this latter number were General Slocum and Richelieu Robinson, General Slocum while in favor of the amendmont explained that as chairman of the committee he felt it was his duty to stand by the bill as it had been reported.

Mr. Randall escaped being recorded as he had paired his vote. Judge Reagan, of Texas, whose condition this morning was such as to occasion his friends much alarm, was somewhat botcr this evening. President Arthur, it is understood, has accepted an Invitation to formally open the world's exposition in New Orleans, in December. Colonel Thomas P.Ochiltree has been interviewed and is of the opinion that Arthur is the strongest man for the Republicans to nominate.

The Edmunds men, he says, wiU go for Arthur. Iu a possible contingency the man on the horse," by which he means General Grant, may be the nominee. He mentions Secretary Lincoln and Andrew D. White, of Now York, as the possible dark horses. G.

F. D. DISCUSSING Cmo APPROPRIATIONS. Tlie IWeetinjr of tUe Veterans in tho Com mon Council Cbantbcr Last Night. The Memorial and Executive Committee of the Grand Army of tho Republic of KingB County met in the Common Council Chamber last evening.

Major John H. Walker in the chair and Secretary C. W. Cou tan recording. Comrade McLoughlin, of the Legisla tive Committee, reported the progress made on the bill introduced In the House ot Representatives, March 31, No.

6, 338, which had been recommended by his committee. It provides that the Secretary of War shall furnish the different States, on the request of the Governors thereof, copies of the records of the troops from those States as wore engaged in the late war. Also on the bill, No. 481, introduced in the State Senate by Senator Jacobs, to provide for the completion of the records of New York's volunteers of the late war on file in the offloo of the Adjutant General of this State and for the safe keeping thereof. He also moved for the committee that no resolution, as had been previously offered, presented the thanks of the body to certain legislators for their services on the bills, until they were passed.

Jiue question as to whether the Memorial Committeo should ask for au additional donation from the Super visors for Memorial day came up on the report of tha Committee on Legislation that tho Supervisors had do noted $100 for the purpose, and would, doubtless, be willing to donate ono or two hundred more on proper application. The report was adopted. Comrade Frost moved that application bo made to the Supervisors for a furthur donation. comrade Phillips said they ought to bo sure that they needed the money before thoy asked for it. Beside.

citizens would say that if they wore getting money from tho Aldermen and Supervisors in this fashion there was no need to aak any from them. Comrades Hubbard and McLeer took similar ground aud said in addition that they had just asked the Mayor to veto an appropriation of $500 by the Aldermen because they didn't need it, and it seemed singular under those circumstances that they should ask for money from the Supervisors. Comrade Little said that since the establishment of Memorial day in 18(J'J the Common Council had never appropriated a cent for the purposes of the day until this year. They had always had to go round begging from citizens for money, while in other cities and towns tho public purse had alwayB been called upon to some extent for the purpose. They needed tho money, and tho amount appropriated, $500, was a small ono to the taxpayers.

He, for one, was surprised at the action taken on behalf of the committee in asking the Mayor to veto that little appropriation. Ho did not veto the resolution appropriating $5,000 for tho Army of tho Potomac reception, and why should he veto this appropriation when it was asked to relievo the poor men who made up tho Grand Army Posts in this country Comrade Follett took tho same ground, nnd said that it was very strange that could bo appropriated lor an excursion and not iu cents to decorate a soldier's grave. If there were not patriotism onough to build a monument to the dead soldiers, there ought, at least, to be enough to pay for a few flowers to scatter on their graves. Every little town had its monument to its soldiers, but Brooklyn hud none. It ought to have, and, at least, they had a right to ask for something; iiuhied, thy ought not to be obliged to ask for it but, so fur an being ashamed to ask $500 was concerned, he, for ono, was in favor of askinc for 55.000.

The nrece dir.it, if ono woro wanted, was already established by Aiayor in cue signing or tuo resolution lor a picnic of the Army of the Potomac. Several commands expressed similar sentiments and said they wore surprised that Comrade Sinsabaugh or any other member had taken it upon himself to ask the niayjr tor tae committee to veto thato0G appropria Coinrado Canton said that Comrade Sinsabaueh must have had considerable influence brought to boar upon him to the point of sendiog such a letter. Coinrartn Goot moved that the committee request Al derman Quintanl not to have the resolution rescinded, and the Mayor not to veto it. Comrade Little amnded that Aldorman Ouintard be requcstt'd, if the resolution bo ulready vetoed, to. urge me passage or me Eame over tuo veto.

Comrad Ball thouaht tho committeo was evincinn a disposition to tan tho hido of the member who had been engaged for months past in biting oh mora than he could chew. His namo was E. A. Perry, and ho thought it timo that ho was informed that be could not act for the whole committee. Comrade Hurst explained that it was known that the Mayor'intcnded to veto tho resolution, and was ready to give the $500 himself, and the letter was written to take tho diuis from tho Mayor, who was a friend to the juemonai uommiiteo.

Comrade Sinsabaugh explained further that ho had promised the Mayor to ask Aldermau Ouintard to have tho resolution rescinded, and so probably the Mayor would witniioid bis veto, supposing that tho Aldermen would rescind it. Comrade McLeer said that the Finance Committee had of itn own motion asked the Common Council to mate the appropriation. There was a quealiou whether It had the legal power to make tho appropriation, and no dcubt the Mayor thought so. Still, he thought an appropriation ought to be made by the city. It made an appr op nation in the Budget for the Fourth of July annually, and Memorial Day wac only flecond in im portance to that, and tne appropriation ongnt to be made in tne same way ior it as ror tne ourtn ox duly, for which 53,000 was set aside.

Comrade Follett thought that as tho Finance Committee had asked for the appropriation and had finally asked to have it rescinded, and the Mayor intonded to veto it, and the Alderman to rescind it if he did not, that was tho fsnd of it, and there was no use of the Memorial Committee going any further in the matter. Comrade McLeer moved that it be the sense of tho committee that the Common Council should appropriate not exceeding $500 annually for the propor observance of Memorial day, and that the action of tho Common Council already taken making an appropriation for that purpose this year meets the approval of the Memorial Committee This was unanimously adopted, and also a motion that a copy of the resolution be sent to the Mayor. Comrade Cochou moved that the membera who hod taken the action in asking the Mayor to veto tho appropriation be requested to wait on tho Mayor and take back what they had ssid. Comrade McLeer objected and said that no one would Caused by a Minister's Bitter At tack on the Waltz. Indignant Ladles Sween Ont of a Church A Community in Which all the Refined People Dance.

It may not have been the notoriety which the Rev. Mr. Laaloy, of Flushing, obtained by his sen sational denunciation of dancing that led the Rev. J. F.

Dunkirke to follow his example, but certain It is that the latter's strong minded views leave Mr. Lasley far in the shade. Mr. Dunkirk is pastor of the Methodist Church in Rosljn, not far from where the bones of William Gullen Bryant repose. Roslyn is a picturesque little village, nestling in a valley, and its inhabitants are aristocratic, gay and lively.

Not to dance is the ex caption, and consequently any Btigma cast upon the popular amusement has excited resentment. It follows that the Rev. Mr. Dunkirke has not advanced himself in point of popularity but as to that ho probably caros very little, considering what he says on the point: I am aware that I have not placed myself in a post tion where I shall obtain favor with tho gay and frivol ous, nor with certain of that class who claim to hold loyally to the church, yet feel no hesitancy in entering upon such diversions as their individual instinots incline them to for purposes of pastime and pleasure." Mr. Dunkirke says he saw his duty from a Christian standpoint, and putting all worldly considerations behind him charged the enemy's battery bravely and gallantly.

Speaking from a conscientious motive ho laid "As a teacher of the truth, as one called of God to preach His word and to educate and elevate tho morals of men, I havo deemed it my solemn duty to tako up this subject of The reverend gentleman says ho will not shirk open battle with the foe. In his pious view, after sincereat prayer for divine guidance on the subject, dancing is an evil inBidious ly insinuating itself into tho houses of ministers and the laity of the church, sapping at the foundations of pure and undented religion, and it is the duty of everj clergyman to expose and denounce it" Believing implicitly that terpsichoreau amusement is a great and growing evil, "leading to gross immorality," Mr. Dunkirko thinks ho would not be doing his duty if he did not warn tho young people of the danger of this moral pitfall. Mr. Dunkirko scouts the theory that dancing is a recreation, and argues that it impairs the human constitution.

He has no doubt at all that hundreds of people would join tho Mothodist Church if its discipline favored the polka and the reel. The cotillion ho said may serve to drown young people's sorrows, and it may let loose pent up springs of joy in tho middle aged, but it is not the balm permanently flowing from a spiritual life. The population, of the world, ia running to an even grade, in the opinion of the pastor, and whereas tho time was when a Christian man could bo distinguished from a worldling by his walk, at the present time it is hardly possible to tell which is which. Tho dominie contends that there Is no Biblical warrant for dancing as it is carried on. 'While parents teach their children the art of dancing, to be practised innocently at homo, they look upon the ball room with horror, and will readily admit that tho latter dauco is low and immoral.

Sensibly, what is wrong in ono placo is wrong in "another. To the claim, that dancing is a requisite to easo and grace in the social circle Mr. Dunkirke answors that if the claim bo good, there are hundreds of women In the low dance houses Df any city fully qualified to ehino In the social circle." Mr. Dunkirke says that the only way for young women to preserve their character is to at home and nevor learn to dance at all. Lovo of praiso and applause attracts many girls to the ball room, because such notoriety cannot be attained in the home circle.

The first step in tho dance is the beginning of tho march that ends in shame, Mr. Dunkirke told his congregation, and thereat some ladies arose and swept out of tho edifice. The devoutly pious, the truly good in heart do not dance. Professing Christians who indulge in this form of amusement turn aside from the path of God to the, glorifications of the devil. They slide off of tho Rock of Ages into tho whirl of the cataract and land in hell's fire.

The lowest grades of men indulge in the dance, said Mr. Dunkirke, but those of intelligence leave it behind." He has a poor opinion of charity balls, and bachelors1 balls are worse than any other. As the most refined people in Ros lyn dance, thoy do not feel complimented by the clergyman's Yiews. A $50,000 FEE. Tlie KemimcraUon Lawyer Received for bis Services.

Philadelphia, April 26. President Judge Thayer, of tho Court of Common Please, to day delivered the first judgment of the court In the suit brought by the city against Henry C. Terry and others for the recovery of $50,000. Mr. Terry is a lawyer, who undertook to negotftfte tho purchase for tho city of tho Kiugston and Oxford Turnpike at a price not to exceed Ho also made a compact with the stockholders of the turnpike company that all the proceeds of the sale over $20,000 should ba left to him as his fee.

Tho city, therefore, instituted equity proceedings to recover $50,000 from Mr. Terry. The court now rules finally that the city must pay tho $50,000 bonus, and that the lawyer is entitled to his big fee. THE ANARCHISTS IN GERMANY. Xlieir Movements to be Interfered with by tlic It eicli staff.

Berlin, April 2l The committee of the Reichstag to which the bill prolonging the special anti socialist law was referred has adopted the resolution of tho new Liboral party to introduce the present session a bill dealing with anarchists and the illegal use of explosives. Her von Boetticher, Home Secretary of State, ha promised to submit to the Bandesratb a proposal to that effect within three days. The object ol tho resolution is to give greater stringency to existing anti socialist laws. A sensation was caused by a statement made to tho committee by Herr Itichster, that anarchists had placed sixteen pounds of dynamite under tho statue of Ger mania at Vicdcrwald shortly before the unvailing of the monument, and that a terriblo catastrophe was only prevented by the circumstance that rain had rendered the explosive harmless for the time, Tho dynamite failed in its mission, and was discovered after the immense assemblage had dispersed, tho fact being kept a seoret until this time.

The property of E. S. Peck the Patchogue banker who foiled, was sold yesterday afternoon by direction of Assignee Potter and about $20,000 realized on the sale. There were about one hundred vil lagers in front of the bank buildinc when at 1:30 Ano tioueer Edwards stepped upon a chair and announced the terms of the sale.

Tho property is unincumbered, excepting mechanics' nens amounting to tho banic DUUdlng, which cost $9,000. wa3 started at $5,000, and was knocked down to John HanenB, of Patchogue," representing a syndicate who contemplato establishing a bank on, a Arm basis. Tho vacant lots brought about $2,000, and the office furniture and a waaon load of unused check books were sold at fabulously low prices.

The result of the ealo did not even satisfy the depositors, but Mr. Potter said tho prices received for tho property, excepting "Peck Castle," were very good. There aro a few other things to bo sold, and until then it is impossible to say how much tho creditors will receive. They will not, however, receive over thirty five per and perhaps not that much. Mr.

Potter in conversation with a reporter said, "I believe Peck was an honest man, but was seized with a mania for speculation and got left. Peck ia now a poor man. Wo had him up in supplementary proceedings, and are satisfied that he has given us everything." Peck lived in the villago up to a week ago, when he left there with his wife and child, and is now understood to bo somewhere in Connecticut. MARION HAUL AND. Another Addition to the liM ot Distinguished Residents of Brooklyn I see," said Rev.

Dr. Talmage to an Eagle reporter, who called at his house yesterday, "that the Bav. Dr. Edward P. Terhuno, of Springfield, has accepted a call to the Bedford avenue Reformed Church, formerly presided over by the Rev.

Dr. Porter. Of all the men whose names I have seen mentioned in connection with the proposed pastor of the chnrch, Dr. Terhune 1b the strongest. He will take tbat church right on to its greatest prosperity.

I know him very intimately, for we were boys together his father and mino were contemporaries. He comes of a royal stock, by which I mean, that bis father 'has been one of the most useful and honored men of Kew Jersey. He is in the nineties, and 'any day may be seen on horseback in the suburbs of Kew Brunswick, taking his equestrian exercise. Edward inherits his father's health and character." As to his style of delivery, is it likely to please the people "His style Is vigorous, energized with apt Illustration practical and impressive. HiB social quolitioa aro very rare and ho makes everywhere the warmest friendships.

His coming to Brooklyn is an event on which we should congratulate ourselves. As is generally understood Mrs, Terhune is the authoress known as Marlon Harland. She has written a library of books and all of them are of the most healthful character. Her first book, entitled Alone, wan written when she was yet a girl, and was read throughout the country. The sale of it was something marvellous.

Her latest work Eve's Daughters" presents the most deUcate subjects in the most refined, skillful and useful way. It was at the time of the first publication of her novel Alone' that Dr. Terhune was supplying Dr. Hoge's Church, in Richmond, Va. He was then a theological student actively engaged in pursuing his course.

While so doing he met Miss Virginia Hawes, and an acquaintanceship was formed which soon ripened into love. It was a romantic wooing, which ended in a resolution on the part of the young divine asd the young authoress to embark on life's journey together. Thisjwas no uncertain step it was ono on tho contrary born of esteem, affection and regard. I may say that Marion Harlaud's iniluence on the literature of the country has been singularly elevating. She 1b a great reinforcement to Dr.

Terhuno'a ministry. With, regard to the manner in which the new pastor of the Bedford avenue Reformed Church preaches, it is not stating too much when I state of my own knowledge that he would in to rest any audienco, however cultured or commonplace. He has a strong voice, which he usos to the best possible advantage and with excellent effect in illustrating the importance of his theme. Half of the time he reads from manuscript and tho other half he extemporizes. He is a man of pleasing ad dresB, easy and affable in his manners and possessing tho happy faculty of being quickly approached by tho rich or poor, high or low, proud or bumble.

Dr. Terhune will be remembered as the successor of the Alexanders at Charlotte Court House. While in that placo ho officiated iu the morning and evening to his own church aud in tho after noon he preached to great masses of colored people in the fields and woods, some of his sermons being accompanied by the most extraordinary results in consequence of the emotions of the African race. After serving an important church, in New Brunswick, and before going to biB last charge at Springfield, be spent several years as pastor of the American Chapel in Rome the health of his family demanding his residence abroad. Dr.

Terhune and his wife have an elegant household and a happy home circle. Their eldest daughter was married last week to a gentleman connected with the Springfield Jievublican. Two other children grace the domestic fireside and two have been removed by death." THE LEAGUE AND AMERICAN TEAMS. A. Weil Comrsied Game of Base Ball at Park.

It did not look favorable for a game at Washington Park on Aprii 26, on account of rain, but it cleared off after 4 P. and tho second contest took place between the League team from Buffalo and the American team cf the result was that the assemblage of spectators present saw the best played game of the season on the field, and a closeand excit ing contest all the way through. The Buffalos thought they would havo an easy task to win, and so they put in their change battery, Hagan and Meyers in the game, and O'Kourke brothers and Galvin took a day off. Tho homo battery comrrised Kimbar and Corcoran, and though the plucky littlo catcher bad a eore left hand be plnyed up behind the bat until the sixth innnige, when ho gave place to who caught the remainder of tho innings. Kimber pitched better than in any previous game he has played in this season, not a run being earned by his delivery, whilo the average of base hit to an inning was but a trifle over one.

He was finely supported in every position, the only errors outside of battery errors wild pitches, bases on balls and passed balls was a wide thrown ball by Bennerain to Greenwood. Tho game opened with a score of 1 to 1, and on tho second inning the Brooklyns went to the front by 2 to 1, wheru they remained until the "fifth inning, when the Buffalos managed to get square with them, tho score at the end of the fifth inning standing at 2 to 2, In the sixth inning the giving of a bass on a ball hitting tho batsman gave to tho Buffalos a chance to get in the leading run, and thereafter the Brooklyns tried in vain to recover the lost lead, and finally had to succumb by a score of 3 to 2. This left the Buffalos winners of every game they have thus far played this season, and they are the only club of the League that has been similarly successful. The Brooklyn team will not take the field again until Tuesday, when they meet Jack Chapman's Detroit team at Washington Park.
