County Md, Monday, August 27th, 1466.—Yesterday afternoon, after the childrer had been ad- dressed, as stated in my last, a very effecuye sermon was preached by Rey. R. F. Speake: At night. Kev. John Lanahan, the Presiding Elder, occupied the pulpit, and for over an hour enchained the attention of his hearers. the congregation being nearly if not quite as large as that forenoon. After the sermon an *xbortation was given, and in ashort ume a large number of penitents presented them- selves at the altar, and a mumber professed to find peace in believing. This morning, a prayer meeting was heid at the stand, and similar meetings were held at some of the teats. Rev. George V. Leech, ot East Washington Oburch, is now occupying the pulpit The crowd which was here yesterday held on until aboutsundown, when large numbers of chose who came from the cities returned. but the night being clear, with a fall moon, many of (he country people from a distance Temmined until afler the services were closed This morning, 4s is usual on the morning tol- lowing Sunday, the namber present is small, but itis expected, should the weather prove propiticus, that there will be many more large congregations.

BF Within & radius of five miles of Philips- burg, New York, during the month of Febru- ary, March, and April last, one hundred cases of Alarming sickness occurred, attacking in some instances all the members of a family at the same time, and unmistakably indicating the presence of au active poison. Investigation at last detected small particles of lead in the flour made at the mill in the vicinity. but not in sufficient quantity to account for the extent and violence ef the disease. At the late session of tbe Pharmaceutical Association at Detroit, Mr. King presented a paper on the subject, ¢ pressing the opinion that the carbonic acid generated in fermentation, and acting on the tine particles of lead produced a most poisonons salt, well known to chemists. This atany rate furnisbes an ample explanation of the whole affair. RUMORED MuRpErR oF TWO YouNG LADIES. The Wilmington (N. C.)
