bP " ‘OCEAN ‘Wreck and Abandonment of the British Bark Ondara. SUFFERING. ‘wour of the Crew Washed Overbeard and Drowned—The Survivors Rescued. end Breught to This Port—Their Story of Trials and Death. ‘The past week has been prolific with the record of @isasters at sea. Hardly a day of that period has passed without some intelligence of veasels wrecked or disabied—crews lost or but rescued from shattered bulis when death was near—until it seemed that the mews from the deep was laden only with the story of suffering. The tatest known disaster that oc- ourred during the recent furious storms onthe Atian- tio was the wreck of the British park Ondara, of Milford; England, on her passage from Tabasco Gulf, Mexico, to Queenstown or Falmouth. To wach an extent did the angry seas beat ner about and tear away her decks, masts, rigging and boa that the portion of the crew living after the terrible ordeal were compelled to abandon heron the J9tn of Sepiember. On the 27th inst. the sea that threw her upon her beam ends washed overboard and drowned the captain, ‘frst officer, steward and cabin boy. In half an hour after the vessel righted, when the men who were left Jasbea themselves to the inizzen rigging, where, ‘without: food or water, thoy remained forty-eight hours, until rescued, providentially, by # passing vessel, This proved tobe the bark M. E. Corning (ef Yarmouth, N. 5.), Captain E. ©. Roach, from New York, bound to Trieste. The treatment of the ship- ‘wrecked crew by their reacuers, and the determina- t#on of Captain Roach when the story of suffering and death had been told him of turning back and Janding them in New York, is worthy of the highest commendation and a bright spot in his seafaring Ife, With the object in view of placing the erew of the Ondara where they could @eonest communicate with their homes, the M. B. Corning was put back, and y esterday, at three o'clock, the six sailors were safely put on voard of the lightsbip off Sandy Hook, from which they were soon after taken by Captain William A. Mmmith, of the steamiug Bdgar Baxter, and brought tothe city. The M. K. Corning at once resumed her ‘voyage. ‘The story of the trials, sufferings and death that ‘Were the jot of those on board the unfortunate bark ‘to best told in the subsequent statements :— STATEMENT OF THE ABANDONED VESbEL’S MATE. ‘The bark Undara, Captain Watkin Thomas, of Mut Engiand, Matlod from Tabasco Gulf, Mexioo, July 81, bound for Queenstown or Falmouth, with a cargo of mahogany, for orders, There were aan ar in all ou board, Up to Saturday, Sep- ten! 17, we had experienced fair | eusieri winds, but on that day it began to biow heavily from the same quarter, At this time we were On the starboard tuck standing 1n shore, the ‘Wind due east; at sx o'clock P.

Six of us still remained, and we lashed ourselves im the mizzea rigglig, the seas washing over us irom all directions. In this terrizle and almost hopeless state, without food or water—everything of this bature baving been destroyed—we coniuued anu two o’clock ”, M. of Monday, Sepiemper 19, nearly forty-eight hours, when deliverance from what peemed to be certain death came at lest—tor before this no hope had veen felt—by seeing a vessel appareatly bearing towara us, but, proving to be almost as complete & Wreck as ourselves, were unable to assist us. The weicome vessel that took us from the wreck was the bark M. FE.

When we fully expiained to Captain Koach who we were he con- cluded to put nis vessel back and land us in New York. Tue bark Ondara, when she was abandoned, was In latiiude 39 degrees north, longitude 70 de- grees west. Herdecks were then torn up and the planks from the quarterdeck swept clean. No pro- visions were on board, aad nothing but starvation seemed (0 be our lot. in my opision, sie would not hold together much longer. ‘ine first officer at the ume Was in the cabin sick, and must have been arowned in his berth. THE RESCUER’S STATEMENT. Captain E. C. Roach, masier of the bark M. E. Corning, the vessel which rescued the crew of the abandoned bark, makes the following statement:— ‘The bark M. E.

The Hechester Raiders Come to Grief—Jersey to the liescue of Suequehanna—Indignation and Proteste—Strange Blending of the “sheep” and the “Goats.” ‘The announcement yeeterday morning that rev- eral towns on the Erie Railway bad been visited by a gang of plunderers, who were on their way to at- tend the convention at Rochester, stirred up the police authorities in Jersey, and preparations were accordingly made to give the raiders a wel- come on their return, A squad of police was sent irom the pohce headquarters at Jersey City to the Erte Railway depot, and on the arrival of the through train the oiicers made @ descent on all Suspected parties. It happened that many respect- ‘able men fell into their clutches at the same time, and no explanation woulda be received. When the prisoners arrived at the Second precinct station sev- eral of the parties gave satisfactory accounts of themselves and procured bail. A few merchants among the number were highly sadigtans, and one man threatens legal proceedings, Mr. Alexander Frear and Mr. Tweed’s clerk were among the lucky ones who were released on bail. The following tn- dividuals were obliged to ‘toe the mark” and §, down stairs for the night; Edward Gillespie, jonn McAuliffe, Joho Derlin, John Lhe) Edwar Hanley, John F. Cassidy, Peter Curley, James H. ‘Wood, John Brady, William Goodman, William Har- ris, William Lamb, James Gillen, George Williams, Wilham Norton, James P. Rogers, Patrick Fitzpat- rick and Francis Mullany. A few of these were af- terwards removed to the First precinct station. ‘The foilowing persons procured bali early in the afternoon:—Thomas Hughes, ‘Thomas Y. Hart, John Dooley and ‘Thomas Jolly. ‘The whole party will be — before Recorder Martindale this morning, but there is not @ particle of evidence against any of them, and they will, of course, be discharged. Po- iicemen were detailed to watch other trains coming from the same quarter in the evening. The Erie Rail oficial protest against this high-handed ing, as the patios had not a particie of evi- lence that any of the parties in custody were on the train which conveyed the thieves on theif westward trip. The officials further state that rio robbery was perenne on any part of their line except at Sus- quehanna on Tuesday night. The conductor states that the passengers on his train yesieiday were as orderly and respectable as any that ever travelied with him, and he saw nothing to justify the action of the ,olice, ‘he latter, uowever, acted on infurma- tion conveyed by telegraph that several rowdies and thieves were on the train, and that it would be ad- Visabie to keep @ siarp lookout for them. Ot course it was & matier of great difficulty to discriminate, the ‘‘sheep”’ and the “goats” looked so much alike, and it was im vali that one respectable-looking man remiudec tue officer who had him io custody that it was a cardinal ent in taw that it is better that one hundred guilty should escapt than one innocent man suffer. Another of the subjects was taunted with being & member of the Young Democracy, and he effectually silenced the caviller by replying, “I am not ashamed of that; 1hope I shaii never be 60 old ‘thai.i will be unwilling to leara and keep pace with the times,”” There was very littie disposition on the art Of the prisoners to discuss the action of the Rochester Convention, as they had some other fish to lry which concerned them a great dca! more. DEPARTMENT OF DOCKS, Meeting of the Board of Commissione: The Commissioners of Docks met yesterday a(ter- noon in stated session, with Commissioner Wilson G. Hunt presiding and Commissioners Henry, Wood and Smith. A large amount of routine business was transacted, after which the following matters were disposed of:— Aresolution was adopted directing the Engincer- in-vhief to prepare a plan for re ‘log or rebuild- ing the pier at the foot of Fifty-ninth street, North river, and report if itcan be completed before the ice sets in. A report was received from Superintendent West- ervelt to the eifect that the spiles driven at the foot of 114th street, Harlem river,do not interfere with Davigation, but that they obstruct the pier adjoin- Ing. A proposition was received from James Boyd and others to sell the piers and ground at the foot of 11th street, Harlein river, for $3,000. Both subjects were referred to the Executive Committee, A report was received on the condition of the pier at the joot of West Seventy-seventh street, and re- commending that it be repaired immediately, at an expense not to exceed $8,000, which was adopted. A petition to have the pler at the foot of Charlies street, North river, repaired, was referred to the Ex- ecutive Committee. On motion permission was granted to the Union Ferry Company to rebuild pier No. 16, East river, at thelr own expense, under the direction of the Superintendent of that district. Several applications for permits for structures on piers were received and referred, and the mecting adjourned, PRE ERVING THE PUBLIC PEACE, A Balireom Disturbance—Unpardonable Con- duct of Police Oficers—Pistol Practice in an Assemblage of Ladies and Children. Lieutenant William Tate, of the Eighth regiment, was up before Justice Bixby, at the Yorkville Police Court, yesterday afternoon, to answer a charge of assault and battery preferred against nim by officer Patrick Larkin, of the Twenty-second precinct. It appeared from the testimony taken in the case that on the night of the 19th inst. the company to which Tate belongs had a ball at the. Centrat Park Garden. During the ovenmig 8 disturbance arose between some parties, which the Meutenant endeavored to snbdue quietly. While engaged in separating the combataats he caught officer Larkin, who was also in the crowd, and pushed him back. The oMfcer's badge was not exposed to view at the time or he would not have done so. While Tate and Larkin had hold of each other oMicer Corey struck Tate on the head with his club, inflicting rather a se- vere wound. Another detective of the same precinct, who was present, fred three shots through the floor, as he sald, to disperse the crowd. The mode was certainly rather @ novel one in the midst of iadies and children and a large crowd of excited meu. Tate was discharged by the Court on the evidence, when he deciared it his determination to institute a charge before the Commissoners against the three officers. Justice Bixby remarked that, in his opinion, the arrest of Tate was entirely uncalled for and that the ofticers should be made to suifer. JAILBIRDS ON THE WING, Escape of Two Female Pickpockets from Sing Sing Prison. Two female convicts, named respectively Mara A. Suwith and Sarah Ann Cnristian, succeeded in ¢s- caping from Sing Sing Prison on Tuesday evening. It appears tiiat both women had been employed at househoid work in the matron’s apartments adjoining the prison, and in that capacity were from under the restraint of lock and Key unill about nine o'clock cach evening, Since the security of @ convict while engaged as above must mainly depend on her own trustworthiness it Woulo be naturally supposel that some prudence Was exercised in the selection of such as werewill- ing to serve out their terms of sentence; yet the wo- man Christian, a notorious femaie pickpocket, had hot been an inmate more than three months, hav- ing been sentenced in New York last Juue to five years’ imprisonment. Her companion 1a flight was serving out a similar number of years for grand larveny, having been convicted in 1667, It is said that the escaped women exchanged their convict attire before leaving the matron’s house, and it 1s belleved they left on the evening train for New York, as two closely veiled females were observed in the ladies’ waiting room of the rafiroad depot shortly before the arrival of the train, An impression prevails that the parties did not lack accomplices in their escape, some even asserting that they were conveyed in @ carriage from the prison to the raljroad depos. THE COURTS. SUPERIOR COURT—SPECIAL TERM. Important Question Under the Baukrupt Law—Debtors Protected trom Attach- mente. Before Juage Jones. Walsh vs. Sayre.—This action was brougnt by the Plaintiff, as the guardiaa of his infant child, to re- cover damages for injuries alleged to have been sus- tained by the negligence of the defendant, Judg- me.t was rendered for che defendant and a motion made for an attachment, under the provisions of opposed judgment, Pp teeted from arrest, as by the section of the Bank- rupt law the debt was provable under the bank- ruptcy, rd pears called upon the other side to sustain the motion, W. P. Gage, counsel for the defendant, said he was taken by surprise, and requested tame to deliver to the Court a written argumont, Judge Jones granted the time, but sald that he en- tertuined no doubt that the defendant was proiected uncer the Bankrupt law. COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS, Another Garroter aud Burglar Scot Stite Prison for Twelve Yoare by Judse Bedford—Housebreakers Losing Their Occo- Before Gunning 8. Beaford, ity Judge. Assistant District Auorney Tweed conducted the prosecution yesterday and disposed of the calendar of cases with great despatoh. His brief and clear summing up speeches proved to be as effective upon the minds of we jury as long-winded harangues. Thomas Featherston, who was jointly indicted with Deanis O’N-il, pleaded guilty to robbery in the first degree, The complainant, Charles Kracger, told the Court that between two and three o'clock on the pooening of the 16th of August, while Passing through Houston street and while near Sullivan he was aitached by several struck in the mouth. AS soon as he recovered from the effects of the blow he followed twool the party into Macdougal street, where he met officer Wilson, who identified the prisoners. The gold watch which wanstown from complainant was found upoa O'Neil, Juage Bedford, in passing sentence, said that this was aciear case 0! highway robbery. At an carly hour a gentleman was assaulted by &@ gang of ruf- ‘and the ollicer informed bim that seatherston ‘was one of the Worst boys in the precinct, and since he was locked up there was less trouvie there, All ropbers in this c ty, continued his Honor, lcgiti- mately convicted shall be sent by the Recorder und ene for twenty years. Garrotiug has begun to ite head in New York, and we are bound to put itdown. As the prisoner pleaded guilty he was sent to the state Prison for twelve years and 61x months. ALLEGED BURGLARY IN THE FIRST DEGRER—AC- QUIITAL OF THE ACCUSED. Richard Jones was placed on trial charged with the grave crime of busglary in the firat degree, ‘The complaining witness, Mrs. M. . Opdyke, who re- sides at 65 Downing street, testified that while she ‘was sleeping on & sufa on the night of the 3d of Au- {i she was awakened by the noise made by open- ing @ pocketbook, and to her amazement discovered @inau in the 100m, who obtained admittance by opening the shuttera. She only saw his back and side face, and could not swear to the identity of the tsoner. ats Willam F. Howe, the counsel for the accused, put a few questions to tue jady, and, having been satisiied of tue innocence of his client, awaited the further action of the prosecuting officer. Mr. Tweed informed the Court that he could not estabiish the identity of the prisoner, whereupon Judge Bediord directed the jury to reader an acquittal. ‘This is the first verdict ot not oe obtained by counsel this term, and was a feather In Mr, Howe's cap, forthe Uity Judge aud the District Attorney leave no stone unturned to convict and punisn bur- glars when the testimony against them 1s clear and conclusive. LARCENY OF GOLD WATCHES, Michael Edwards pleaded guilty to stealing a gold watch and cnain, valued at $100, on the Ist of August, the ges of Robert Anderson, Mr. Tweed, In pwvtins | for sentence, said that the prisoner is the mdividual who boasted some time go that he had sufiicient poilticul influence in the District Atiorney’s oflice, and desired a party hoid+ ing oMcial poettion to make i “all rignt”’ for nim, offering to give him fifty dollars for his services. Judge Bedford remarked that he would send the prisoner to the State Prison for five years—the high- est penaity he could tufict—to show how true it was that he could conirol the District Attorney’s oMce or the court. John Bloomfield, who was charged with stealing @ gold watcn and chain, worth $115, on the 1st of Fevruary, from Henry Brockman, o! the United States cutter McUulloch, pleadea guilty to grand larceny. He was sent to the State I’rison for four yeara, DISCHARGE OF THE GRAND JURY—JUDGE BEDFORD'S REMARKS.

Tne evidence for the prosecution was 80 = that the Judge directed the jury to acquit the prisoner. ABDUCTION OF TRUNKS. Mary A, Burns and Sarah H. Stewart were tried upon a charge of grand larceny.

The prosecution proved that when Mrs. Burns was arrested she had a portion of the anderclothing stolen out of the trunk on her person. The prisoner told her story, and having ex- plaineu to the satisfaction of the jay how she came to have the underskirt which Mrs. Williams claimed to be hers, they rendered a verdict of not guilty, and on motion of Mr. McClelland, her counse!, she was discharged. HORRIBLE DEATA FROM HYDROPHOBIA. An Aged Man Goes Rabid, Foams at the Mouth, Snaps, Snarla, Growls and Barks Like a Dog~He Is Tied Down with Ropes and Dies in Excruciating Torments. One of the most horrible cases of hydrophobia ever recorded occurred at Saugerties, N. Y., on Sun- dayevening, when Mr. Wu. B. Whitaker, an aged and much respected citizen, died an agonizing death from the bite of a rabid dog. It appears that in March last Mr. Whitaker, while playing with a small dog belonging to Moses Krohn, of Saugerties, was bitten just below the nail on the forefinger of the left hand. The dog stowed no symptoms of hydrophobia, and nothing was thought of it at the ume, the wound socn healing, Whitaker attending, ag usual, to his business. Last Friday morning Whitaker complained of pain ta his leit arm and shoulders; it kept growing worse every Dour until on Friday evening HE BECAME RABID, foaming at the month, grinding his teeth, snapping, snarling, growling and barking im the manner oy dogs, until 1t was found necessary for the safety of nimself and others to secure him. So furious had ne become that they were obliged to call in the assistance of eiglt strong men, who with gloved hands at last succeeded in securely tying him to his ved with ropes. Mr. Whitaker, during his illness, fully realized the nature of his disease, and in moments when free from paroxyisms wouid piteously beg of his frieuds to put an end to bis intense sufferings, and would tell them not to come near him for fear he would do them harm, After three days and two nights of the greatest of suiferinzs death came to his reitef. A month or so after the biting of Whitaker a little girl, daughter of Moses Krobo, was also bitien by the same cur. The little girl as yet has shown no signa of hydrophovia, and as nitrate of silver was at once applied to the Wound no harm may come from it, These facts should serve to make every one doubly careful in thelr dealings with canines, as they fully demonstrate that a dog need not necessa- rily be rabid tor lus bite to cause death. NEWARK’S HOTOR-OUS DESPERADO. About three months ago a notorious River street rough, Philip Donahue by name, beat his wife most brutally and within an inch of her life. So desper- ate a character was he that at first the police, with- out being armed with @ warrant and in strong force, would not arrest him, nor would the magistrate, Justice Mills, issue a warrant until a niember local press, who had seen the coi dition of the woman, preferred a complaint Finally, four valiant policemen effected the fellow’ arrest, and he was committed for trial.

SEPTEMBER 23, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET. COLORED M:N IN COUNCIL. The Newly Enfranchiscd Riement “Wheeling Inte Line’—Three Congressional Districts te be Locked After—The Colored Mea vs. a PovenKEErsrE, Sept. 22, 1870, A convention of colored people assembled tn Zion's church, im this, Oity to-day, to take into considera- taon the political and educational interests of the Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth Congresstonal dis- | teicts of the State of New York. The call for the Convention was signed by A. Bolin, Angorus Fow- Jer, Walker Strever, Isaao Deyo, Jacob Thomas, Garrett Deyo and SylvesterVan Zee: ‘The Convention was called to order at twelve o’ciock noon by Abraham Bolin, of Poughkeepsie, On motion Charles Morrie was appointed temporary chairman, and Jacob Wright, of La Grange, secre- tary. Samuel P. Jones, of Fishkill landing, addressed the Convention relative to delegates from his dis- trict, and moved that all present and within call be members of the Convention. This motion was agreed to. Isaac Deyo moved that the Chair appoint a committee on permanent organization. Agreed to. ‘yhe Chair appointea Messrs, A. Bolin, Charles Cooley, Samnel P. Jones, Wa.ker Strever and Adam Strever as such committee, The Convention then took @ recess till half-past two P. M. Upon reassembling the minutes of the morning session were read and approved. The Committee on Permanent Organization being ready vo report that ‘Was the Grst order of business. The report was as follows:—President, Isaac Deyo, of Poughkeepsi, Vice Presidents, Rev. Jacob Thomas, of Orange county; Adam Strever, of Stanford, Dutchess county, Charles Morris, of Dutchess county. Secretaries, Samuel P. Jones, of Fishkill Landing; Chas, Cooley, ‘of Poughkeepsie. Sergeant-at-Arms, Leonard Green, of Poughkeepsie. On motion, Messra, Rhodes and Thomas were appointed to conduct the President to chair, which they did, The PR&sIDENT then, in a speech, stated the ob- Ject meeung, r having first thanked the Convention for the honor conierred upon him. He said its effects are educational and political. Every thinking man knows the power and necessity of education. One object is to build a schooihouse somewhere in Dut! county, where we can get something more than can be obtained in the com- mon schools. He regretted the slim attendance. Ina view the action of the Convention li be important. He hed 600 colored wisi voters were present to talk the matter over. ‘The SECRETARY read the following names com. the Business Committee:—A. Bolin, Walk ans it & business committee, which it ered to appoint i a8 follows:—A. Bolin, Joseph Khodes, Walker Strever, George Ruby, George bt . The Chair then instructed the Sergeant st arn in is duties, Bey. Mr. Taomas, of Newburg, then addressed the Convention upon its objects. He believed that all should attead closely to educational matters and Jet politics alone; the latter should not be mixed with theformer. It is perhaps weil enough for the colored people to let the world know they stand ‘upon the issues of the day, but tics should not be drauged into educational enterprises. The eee had been _proscrined, indignities and combaeaay had been huried upon all; but with only a slight eaucation the colored people had risen wo the on they now command, free and disenthralled. 4 them study a avoid the intoxicating cup and win education which will cultivate and re- fine and make all really ladies aud gentiemen. Re. solve to give your children all the education possi- ble. Why should not many young colored men of the present day be engaged in commercial pursuits? Haven't we been bewers of wood and drawers of water long enough? Haven’t we blacked our master’s boots and stood behind his table till our bearts are sick and sore? Now is the time to do for ourselves, Good, warm-hearted republican friends have stood by us and our people aud by thelr help what we are anes now it behooves us to stand by them. Let us 1) write our names high up in the niche of fame; be men; be women; be true to the right everywhere and at all times. There must be no more indifference in our well being. Vld men cannot attain much, but I would to God that the young men of this day would spurn the evil elements around them, Away with the vices and take up With that which is right, which ts honest, and aspire to greater and nobler things. Rev. Mr. DECKER, of Newburg, made the next ad- dress, He said he had always endeuyored vo in- struct the youth in the advantages of education. “Knowledge is power,” and Ignorance is the mother of Error. He reviewed the battiings of the black Tace against prejudice and tyrauny, and now asked for @ combination of efforts to develop all the noble outgrowths of education. Parents must teach their children the importance of mstruction, and watch them closely to the end that they will grow up and be honored, The following resolutions were offered to the Con- vention by the Business Committee:— Resolved, That this Convention discountenance any person ‘oF persons who has or will continue to vote the democratic ticket, and that we agree to disregard them and will not give any place or protection or sbeiter in our houses or places of buxiness, but conaider them an enemy to our race forever. Rewol thia Convention take a political canvass of the Eleventh, Twelfth and Thirteenth Congressional districts, ‘Ogesolved, That we ayree to, bulld an aeadorhy. atin! or high scbool for the ‘eoucation of the colored youth to be located within two miles of the Court House tn the city of Poughkeepsie. Resolved, That we fully endorse the repubiican State nom- imations, and th at we will do everything fa our power to elect iment Bia ie coneption shall appolt ve convention shall appoio sons in each ward or district in. the three Congressional dis. tricte to see that the colored vote is brought out, A motion to adopt them being mace and seconded another lively discussion followed. _ Rev. Mr Thomas opposea them because of their political | tenor. He charged that the Convention met tor educational purposes. He denounced the political ‘part of the movement, Mr. Bouin, of Poughkeepsie, favored the resolu- tions. He said no oratorical displays nor harangues mene amount to anything. Duicuess county means asi My. DECKER opposed the first resolution. He thonght it was too spicy. Mr, THOMAS also 0) the first resolution. He sald it conflicted with his religious sentiments, Mr. DECKER again spoke very eloquentiy. and then the resolution referred to was stricken out and one adopted shorn of the objectionabie eg. The balance of the resolations were also adopted, inoluding @ new one authorizing the organization of a political club. The entire report of the com- mittee was adopted. Other unimportant business was transacted, when the convention took a recess till evening. PAYING THE PENSIONS. General Lawrence, United States Pension Agent for the payment of widows’ pensions in the city of New York, has paid since the Ist insi.°28,000 pen- stoners, disbursing $225,000. He has yet about elgnteen hundred more to pay, among whom he will disburse about $100,000 additional, On the 1st of the coming month he will have paid out $265,000, Mr. Van Buren, who pays the male pensioners, has, since September 1, paid out $140,000 among 26,000 pensioners. Ie has about five hundred more to pay. CHINESE SUPERSTITIONS, Good Weather After Murder. [From the London Globe, Sept. 8.) The North China furmers are rejoicing exceed- ingly at what they poo to be the beneficial meteorological efects of the murder of the Roman Catholic priests at Tientsin. ‘the spring and earl: summer, as with us, were marked by a long and continuous drought, notwithstanding that on sev- eral occasions the Emperor had prayed in state for rain. This misfortune—and the natives say that since tne signing of the treaties there has been @ constant recurrence of similar droughts—was very generally pul down to the presence of foreigners among them, and notably to the spires of the Roman Catholic church at Pekin, which tower above the imperial palace, and by 80 doing is be- lieved to have destroyed the geomantic influences of the neighborhood. The expression of these beliefs had been common among the people for some months, and in their eyes received confirmation when, on the day after the massacre, the heavens became “black with clouds and wind, and there was agreat rain.” The fulfilment of the popular super- stiiton was unfortunate, and will make in China exclaim, with the writer of a letter from Pekin who narrates the circumstance, “God help us in the next year of drought.” Perhaps, all things considered, it would be better for a time, the missionaries abstaiued from en- larging in the presence of mixed crowds on that chapter in the Book of Kings which contains the ac- count of the massacre of the priests of Baal and its consequences.
