NoNCKOSS. The Rev, Dr. George Norcross, of Carltsle, Pa... preached both morning and evening fn tha Third Presbyterian Church to large audiences. ‘The text for the morning discourse was takenas follow, For thelr rock’ f# not as our Nock, eyen our ppemiiey themeelves,boing Judzos.—Heut,, arab, narrative 7 4 ed on falae Dr. Norcross gald: These words are found embedded In a production worthy of Moses, the man of God, the incdiator of Kis neople, and the tyne of Christ,—worthy of such a Ife unique tn all tts expertences‘from its basket-cradle on the Nile to tte uoknown grave {nthe mountains of Moab. The figures aro drawn from the wilder- nese, the destri, and the rock fastncsses of Sinal, and exactly what migbt be expected from ono who had spent forty yeara in the .wilderncss, The very name which {a hero applled to the Detty must have been first suggested by the desert wanderings. In the Valley of the Nile or on the plains of Mesopotatnia,-men would hardly have learned tocall Jehovah a rock. It was a thought. de- Veluped in the heart of the Church, and finding jospfred uttorance aftor the experiences of the wildernes. * > The books of the Pentateuch closc with two remarkable productions couched {n the language of poetry and called, “The Song"? and “ Tho Biesalng of Moses.” It: is in the first of thera that the text fs found, Nine timesin the coursa of this single hymn ts repeated this niost ex- pressive figure, takon from.the granite craze of Sinai and carifed thenco through the psalma and hymns of of] nations, aa though one of the huge fragmenta which it represents anould be transported to regions as remote in aspect as . fo distance irom {ts original birthplace.

There is only one Rovk against which all storms will dosh fp yain, wile no flood can overturn, which even the Inst’ creat elemental flres cannot destroy,—that Rock is Christ, * the Rock of Ages,” But the particular point tov which I wish to challenge your attention is this: that men aro really Inconsistent with themselves,—that in o yarlaty of ways mon show: they distrust their own foundations, und admit the superior excol- Jenco of the Christian's foundation. - #rat—By giving thelr means to sustaty tho ipatituttona of religion, whon they help, "and tint biberally, ag they often do, to build church. ¢g, to support the ministry, to sand the Gospel to'the heathen. and to sinillar cutarprisoa of the Church. Many thus help to build the ark who will not take refuge init. Buty df theae men really belleved religion to boa deluston, they- would not spend thefr treasures for fta support, but would pronounce it an evil to bo abated os a nuisance, They would'no longer bail the Church, the school, and the press, as the three great educators, to be equally sustained.

Will you let me tell the rose sivers how the affair passed off? St. Killind fa apleasaut town near the Moxican line, It ie noted for Its docility, No man {s allowed to carry more than six pfatola at once there, and the Magietrato recontly fined a dead nigger for carrying a shot-gun concealed about his person, ‘The Sunday-schoo! scholars aro made to deposit their plutols in the vestibule before the school opens, and no minister {a permitted to keep more than two shot-guns in the pulplt. ‘The cantata, the first. aver gotten up at Bt. Kiliiad, was a anblime affair, Hobson Hall was filed. at an enrly hour, During the opening chorus @ strange nolse was heard behind the stage, and the manager satd that thelr Jaman had accidentally shot bimeelf while racticing with Mordecaf, and Bill Biews was substituted, Bill forthwith made his appearance. with pants stuck in boots, In the most vonchalant manner, and bevan to call Mordecat a second-hand cloth- Ing store and “other pet naimes. [ anw at once that BML had the heart of te audleuce, for crics of “Go In, Bil!” “Give tem!? camo from every part of the house, J really think that Bill actually believed himself to be Haman; but he was finally conzed from -the atage by tho mugzies of several shot-guns, that were poked. at lum from the wines, and dhasuerus came on. A “Bully for Ahaz!” yelled a boy in the a: ery. i The Assyrian King stopned suddenly and looked up at the entbualastie youtn: “Seu here,” be sold, “this iso relletous play, and decency has to be obsorved. That boy for- gots that this is the State of Texas, and we're Rolug to have order ff we've got toget it with the pistol. Um olaving Alssuerus just now, but after the show I'll bo Sam Turner again, and if any man wants to see mo then hocao mnake his wants known. ‘The cantata proceeded, but I felt uneary, I thought that, foran Assvrian, Ahasuerua handted. his revelvyer in n.very carcless manner, but somebody suid it was natural. The Alng hod hardly got securely seated on bis throne when Haman rusted from ony of the wings and said that ho undorstood that two Mexfcans the house, and that he “wouldn't pi the Greasers were put out? A ‘sacr: concert shouldn't be spoiled by tho preecuce. of a couplo: of lousy Mexi- cana, His remarks were greoted with tu- multuous applause, and 9’ sudden tuasel near the.door followed. The uext day the Coroner held an Inquest on the bodies of Rive Golaid and 8t, Jose Micucl, two; Mexicaus who had displayed bad seuse in attending o sacred con- cert in St. Rilliad. After the tussel just re- ferred to the cantata proceeded, a AMourdecat wasn't the maek-looking fellow £ had expected to see, He Wns a six-foot chap, with a plratieal mustache, who remarked to Haman in hearing of one-half the audienca that ho was the “man-catin’ alligator of Texas.” He certainly fn avpearance bore out bis remarks. Ho and Ahasuerus had soveral spirited Interviews, and once, whily Zsther was singing for the King Vordecaits revolver was accldontally dischargqd, killing the boy who, was overheard helping to manipulate the sconory, Aa the ‘banging of — /a- man approached 1 moved toward the door. From some aide remarks which I heard Jaman Srop on his downfall, I expected a lively time. T knew that Bill Biges would not be actzed with- out 8 desperate resistance, so 1 sloped. It came just aoe l expected. The King aud his body. guard made a rush for Haman, nnd tho fun be- gan. Will got the drop .everywhere, Bullets whistled through the auditorium, but not s man moved except ono red-shirted fellow from Gal- yeston, who jumped on the staze-and knocked Ahasuerus down, The next morning I heard all this summed up a8 follows: /fatnan ebot in‘ the mouth and cut fu the grotn; JMordecai killed dead; Ahasnerus’ nose broken and shot in the thigh; two Asayrian oflleers badly wounded: Queen Esther hacly brufeed, ‘The St. Kiliad Weebly Buckshot called it onc of "the Ilvollest cantatas over witnessed, ir the State, and boped ft would be repoated at some future day"? ‘ DRAMATIC NOTEs, ‘Hamlin bas captured the' Goorgia Minstrols for this week. “Pinafore” burlesqued by the Megatheriaus at Hooloy's to-night. “LiAssommotr will shortly be playod at Baldwin's, Sun Franctaco, , “My Awful Dad” bas evidently captured the critics of the Pacific Const, . .

THE RAILROADS. WHO BUILY THEILLINOIS CENTRAL Nno Maen (Conn.) Realeter, ‘It was fo October, 1848, when the frat train was run through to Now York.’ said Mr. George A. Shaw, of the firm of G. A. & U8, Shaw, boot and shoe dealers, the other day; “before that they run the cars as far as Bridge- port and up the Canal Road to Piatnville. You know the Canal Road was leased hy the Now York & Mew Haven for a term of years, twenty-five years, wasn’t It? The depot of the Hartford Rond was then opposite Forbes? place, down near the steamboat, The same cars that ran down to Bridgeport went up to Vlaineilte. They had only two engines; Roxy and Betsey, Nos, 1 und 2, wero their names, Many a time did we run ‘em together on the Jiinots Central, When the Jlinots Central was building they took ‘em out there, They were the first engines they had out there; yes, the only ones for a tong time. Dido’t you know the MHnols Central was built by Connecticut men,—New York and New Haven tailroad men? Well it was. All the con- ductora nud engines came from here, All the hands belonged to the New York & New Haven, the Housutonic, or the old Harlem.” 7’ Mr. Shaw. now in the shoe business in this elty, years ago railronded It here and fora long time, befora the War, was a conductor on tha AUInols Rallroad. “Yes,"" he continued, “ Rob- ert Bebuvter, he wos Presicent of the New York & New Haven, Of course you know all about the Schuyler watered etock. Well, lio was chosen President of the Ilinots Central, tou. That road war built under the direction of Col, R.B.

That Was the firet through line to Bt. Louis, The Hlousatonie Road furnished the’ engineers. T remember when wo were building the road jrom_ Calro to Jonesboro wo had 150 men, The Egyotinns refused to sell us apythinz. We got out of provisions. The cholera struck us, and we would have starved if it hadn't been that we raided on them aud got a lotof bacon. We told them that. they could como and get their payor not, jurt as they chose. Col. Mason took John B,’ Wyman out as his first assistant, «He was one of the old contuet- ors on the New York & New Tlaven, The next man he called from here was Ransom 8. Potter; be was muster carbullder here, aud did the same Work out there. Then there was Julius Haw- ley, of Bridgeport, connevted with the Housa- tonite Rond; he was master mechantc out there, He is living yet {n Chicago, but fs not connected with the road, nnd hes not been for some years. Ip 1553 the Nor- walk disaster occurred, A bid medical convention was held in New York, and many of the most prominent physicians of New En- gland were there. Returning, the train went through the draw, and many Ives were lost. You remember or hava heard all about that. Well, Charley Comstock wan conductor of the train, Ho went out to Illinois, and ts Paymas- ter of the road now. He travels over 1,500 miles of road every month. Sam Weir's aon Tonry left for there about the same time. {remember the only time I ever saw Col. Mason fnuch. Morris, of Bridgeport, was running the engine for me, and wa were at the sand-pit, 98 We call. cd it. We were building the road’ there, and had the two encines, Botscy ahi Roxy, and a lot. of cara loaded with geavel. There was frost on the ground in the morning, and when we went to start the tralo she wouldn't start. There was an old woman who lived thero who had a donkey thut wo all know about; no ona wanted to xo nearit, We rigged up a harness from bed-cord aud hitched the old donkey on in front of the two cuiucs; I knew that would start the train if anything would, Just then the Colonal drove up. How he did iansh,? “ Wore the men who built the bed of the road Connecticut men too? “Yea, they were all from Connecticut or Ver- mont. Another man who went out there@om here was Ad Vorev. Ho was an old conductor on the Hartford Road, He married Busten’s wife's sister. Out of tho whole crowd that was vonnected with the New York c& New Ifnoven Railroad only two are Iying now, Charles H.
