1 Nation at Prayer.
Editor Journal: As today the
whole American nation has, by com
mon consent and at the request of the
chief magistrate of our country, been
engaged in prayer, I will, with your
permission give a brief account of tbe
first prayer in Congress, as I learned it
as will be seen below.
BJtTHACT rROM A LETTER f BOM rUlLADEL-
PH1A. 1883.
Another venerable institution that I
have always slighted in my visits here
waa called at today, that is "Carpenter's
Hall. This building is well preserved
and has tbe appearance of being still in
use as a meeting place for tbe Society of
Carpenters, which was organized in
24.
Among the relics of interest here is an
engraving representing "the first
prayer in Congress" with a letter press
disoription ot it, and bow it oame
about.
Massachusetts Bay was invaded and
the town of Boston thought to have
been destroyed by the British forces.
In their consternation and helplessness,
a member arose and moved that some
minister be requested to attend the
next morning'e session and adrress a
petition to the Throne of Grace. Two
membors objeoted, one from Massachu
setts, I think, and the other from South
Carolina; uot because they did not be
lieve in the propriety of it, but the inex
pediency on account of the difference
in the religious faith of the members.
There were, they said, members who
were Episcopalians, Presbyterians. An-
nabaptist, Congregationaliat and Qtiak
ers; and they thought it objectionable
to introduce any form of worship not
agreeable to all. Some one, of the fun-
tan faith I believe, stated that he was
willing to hear any man of a Uodly
character and upright life offer prayer,
and that be understood, one Mr.
Duche, an Episcopal minister, was sucb
a man, and therefore moved that a com
mittee be appointed to wait upon that
gentleman and request his presence for
that purpose on tomorrow. Ibe com
mittee wss appointed and returned tbe
reply from Mr. Duohe that if his health
would permit, he would surely be pres
ent. At the hour of meeting he waa
present with his clerk and in his- cleri
cal robes. De read the Psalter for the
7th day of the month, morning prayer,
whioh was the SSth and 86th Psalm, and
proceeded with the prayer from the
prayer book of the Church of England.
But bavins: finished such or tne collects
as he could appropriately use on the oo
oasion, he closed the book and led eff in
a most impreesive extemporized prayer,
especially invoking Divine assistance
and blessings upon tbe congress, and
protection to Massachusetts Bay and the
town of Boston then under sore trials
and afflictions.
The picture represents the congress in
the attitude of prayer; some are stand
ing, and others kneeling;one old friend
with his hat on. But the earnest coun
tenances and devout appearance of all
the members would compare favorably
with that of any congress of the present
day, no doubt. C.

Rockingham Rocket: The old eye-soie
on the academy lot, by courtesy called
sa academy in former days, is at last to
come down and give place to a nice
brick building. Tho present o-.itlook
indicates an enormous quantity of fruit
this year. Some liend tried to burn
the dwelling of R. J. Lockhart nt Liu
rinburg last Thursday night while the
family were absent at church. The
wretch broke into the house, knocked a
hole through the plastering and stuffsd
it full of straw and scattered straw and
rags over tbe floor, saturated tho whole
with kerosene oil and set nre to it. The
fire was discovered and put out before
much damago was done.
Newton Enterprise: Two car loads

There have been a good many farmers

the apple trees are jast oyer doing
themselves blooming. Mr. James
Herman of Hickory township, ia the
owner of monetrocity in the shape of a
colt. It has live legs, the fifth growing
out from tha shoulder of one of the
front legs. The deformity is such that
it will never be of any practical use,
but Mr. Herman will probably keep it
as a curiosity.
