The Church Intelligencer, speaking of the late Episcopal Con vention held in Charlotte, says: r The Committee on the state of the Church in North Carolina report that during the last year thetje have been GIG Baptisms; 247 persons con finned; Catachumens 1123; Communicants 2792; Marriages 101; Contributions 825,890 74; num ber of clergy 45; 3 clergymen have left the Dio cese, one has been added, and one died; there are 8 candidates for Deacons' Orders, and 8 for Priests' Orders. The same paper pays the following deserved complioient to the Secretary of the Convention: "A Useful Layman. For thirty-two years past, the Diocesan Convention of North Carolina has had butane Secretary, Edward Lee Winstmc, Efq., of Fayetteville. Though Bishops, Priests and Deacons have changed, and have come and gone, he is ever there, true to his post of honor, trust and great labor, lie fills the place his father did before bim. and far off be the day when his place shall be filled by another. He is never from his seat, always calm, ready in the questions before the house, and courteous, just, and obliging to all. No matter how much business may press at home, he alwaj-s makes time for the service of the Church in Convention." Tall Pricks. At a sale of negroes belonging to the estate of B.

If these negroes were taxed ad valorem, no one but a millionaire could afford to own them. Murder. In Caroline County, Ya., on the 29th ult., Mark L. Boulware was killed by a man connected with liobinson & Lake's Circus. ' The fatal wound was inflicted with a stick. Mr B. was a wealthy and much respected citizen of the county. J. Q. -Adams, the ticket agent of the circus, who was wounded in the face, it is supposed committed the act, as he has fled. xVdanis is about 25 years old, medium size, light complexion and has brown hair. The whole circus company was arrested at Fredericks burg, Va., and, after an examination, released. But it seems that Boulware was killed by some of the wagon drivers, and that he had dared them to a fight; but there was no positrve proof. John, it appears, is a great h;ind at chucking people in the sea; and on one occesion, while out sailing in company with Bill Ihiflfy, and some others, he concluded to dip a certain Pennsylvania Yankee,- who was playing smart with the boys. The traps were soon arranged, and by-an-J-by over went Mr Yankee in the damp. He plunged about for some time and at last was hauled up, blowing off a quantity of superfluous brine. "Well, old fellow," chuckled John, "How do you relish old Neptune's soup?" " Well, 1 ain't got much agin the soup, but whoever put the salt in it wasn't a bit stingy." AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS.

Rarey, after winning golden opinions in England and , France, where he has amassed a large fortune, has been spending some time in the desert of Arabia i among the Arabs and their fine horses. In this Eastern trip, however, he combined business with j pleasure, for ' he made only . the - orthodox tour ! tlirnnnrb flip pniintrv -til!!- Jo Iamo 'fwim TofTi f Jerusalem, thence to Damascus via Samaria and the Sea of. Galilee, and thus on to Beirut by the way of Baalbec, making at the same time several detours into the desert to search for the great tribe of Bedouins who hang among the borders of Syria and Palestine. In Jerusalem he literally ''astonished the natives" iu subduing theferjcity of the Pacha's stud, and by an exhibition of his power over the horse creation before the resident Consuls. His pursuit after the Bedouin camps, however, was unsuccessful. A three days' ride into the desert convinced him that they were beyond his reach; and when he was informed that they were more than twenty days' journey beyond the Jordan, he abandoned the search, contenting himself with seeing all the Arabian horses in Jerusalem, Damascus, and Beirut. In Beirut, Mr Rarey received every attention to which his reputation entitled him; and the Consuls. General treated American and Luropean him with great respect. Invitations to dinner and dejeuner crowded upon him in such numbers that he was forced to decline some of them for want of time. The stud of the French Consul General, Count Benteroglis, composed of fifteen splendid Arabian horses, received his special attention and were pronounced to be a remarkably fine collection One incident connected with the visit of our noted countryman to Syria is of peculiar interest xdr Johnson, the U. h. Consul, introduced him to the somewhat famous Ayoub Bey, who presented Hun. W. II. Seward, of New York, while visiting this country last summer, with three fine Arabian horses, which are to be forwarded to the United urates uy me nrst opportunity. Inasmuch as Ayoub Bey claimed for these horses the best blood in Syria, our Consul was anxious to obtain Mr Rarey's opinion of the specimeu horses, which are soon to be shipped to Auburn, New lork The Bey ordered out the Seward horses, or two of them rather, for one was absent in the mountains, and they were trotted up and down in the paved court yard, to the great delight of those who were gathered to witness some grand exhibitions. There was no exhibition, but Mr Rarev, after .examining them thoroughly, declared himself better pleased with them than any others he had seen in Syria. I am loth to say that Mr Rarey was somewhat disappointed iu Arabian horses, inasmuch as he declares them to be undersized and inferior to many horses he has seen in America and England. But as he has had no experience in trying their speed or endurance, and speaks simply in reference to their appearance and display when in motion, his expression of dissatisfaction may be received in a very qualified sense. ROMANCE OP FIRST LOVE. Some thirty years ago, there lived in the city of London, an opulent Jewish banker of the name ot R. As rich men usually have, the subject of the present sketch had a beautiful daughter, rejoicing in the scriptural name of Sarah. As Sarah reached the age of womanhood, her beauty, and coupled with the father's wealth, drew to her feet many suitors; only one, however, could gain the prize, and that one was II.; the son of a rich Polish nobleman. But when did the "course of true love run smooth?" He and his father became mixed up in one of the many revolutions that have occurred in Poland, their estates were confiscated and they were obliged to flee for their livuS. With the flight of IIs riches, R. discovered that his intended son-in-law would not do, and so told the young people. The lovers separated with vows of eternal constancy, H. emigrating to this country, and Sarah remaining in London. But as the copy book says, 'out of sight out of mind," and so in this c;ise. The sea had rolled between the lovers for about a year, when a rich suitor paid hit; addresses to Sarah, who accepted and married him. II. was almost disti acted when he heard the news, but reflection coming to his aid, he consoled himself by also marrying. Years passed on; the husband of Sarah died last year, leaving her a widow, penniless, and with eleven children. In the meantime, the wife of II. had died leaving him eight children. When II. heard of the abject condition of his first love, 111" 11 T ' 1 fW I an ins om anecfion returncu. lie pictured tits Sarah poor, aud with a large family dependent upon her, which 'resulted in his sending for he and her children. After mutual reiterations of unchanged affection, the marriage day was fixed, and on Sunday last the parties were married by a Jewish minister. They numbered one hundred and fourycars between them the lady being fifty years of age, with traces of her former great btauty still existing, and the husband being fifty-four years old. The newly married couple have a grown up family of nineteen olive branches to twine around their domestic hearthstone. Murder in a Legislature. A terrible tragedy was enacted in the California Assembly, a lew days before its adjournment. A member of the House, named John C.Bell, was shot and stabbed to death, almost in his seat, by one Dr. Stone. Stone was a lobby member, attempting to procure the passage of a bill for a division of the county represented by Bell, and to which the latter was opposed. Mr Bell was in the act of ! consultation with another member beyond the bar of 'the Assembly, while it was in session, when Stone came apr denounced Bell as a liar, and im mediately began shooting and stabbing him. The unfortune man was carried away, and died in two days after. Stone was released on bail. The Assembly took no notice of the murder. Bell was from Ohio, and was unarmed. Stone is from Kentucky. Several circumstances show the act to Lave been premeditated. My dear, what shall we name our baby? said 3Ir l)obbs, the other day. - ' Why, buz, I've settled on Peter. , " Peter? I never knew a man with the simple name of Peter that could earn his salt. ' Well, then, we'll call him Salt Peter. THE CATTLE MURRAIN. The increaso of the Cattle Murrain in Massachu setts is exciting apprehensions amonig tho cattlo owners in other parts of the country. It has beea communicated to the cattlo of Connecticut and Rhode Island, where it is spreading rapidly, and threatens, unless checked, to spread desolation among the herds of tho Union. In 1844, a cat tle plague began in England, which was 'Carried there by two calves brought from Holland,' and which raged eleven years among the herds of England before it was stopped. Forty-thousand head perished in Nottinghamshire in six months, and 50,000 in Cheshire in the same space of time. A million of dollars was paid by the government in one year's time for cattle slain by order of the Commissioners Parliament passed an act provid ing for the slaying of all diseased cattle, and bury the carcass with the skin on, slashed from head to tail, to prevent the tanners from exhuming thcin lor burning all hay or straw used about such animals for fumigating sheds and barns, and pre venting the housing of cattle therein for two months thereafter for separating recovered animals from healthy ones for hindering the slaughter of dis eased cattle for market or any other use and for notice of an outbreak of the disease to be given in- stanterto tha Commissioners. Of late years, how ever, it is said that, in New England, France and Holland, incipient Murrains have been stopped by a resort to chemical preventives. We have already mentioned that the Governor of Massachusetts has called the Legislature of that State together for the express purpose of con sidering what further action is necessary to stay the pestilence.. Fifty-thousand dollars hare been expended by the State in paying for the diseased cattle, which has been sl.iin, in the hope of prevent ing thereby the spread of the disease; but it liatl broken out in new localities, far distant from the place of its first appearance, carried thither, doubt less, by the transportation of diseased animals. The disease is .said to be firmly Gxed in twenty of the largest cattle raising districts in New England, and yet, butchers are found in the' infected dis tricts buying up diseased cattle, cheap, for the New York market! The Baltimore Patriot calls the attention of the farmers and cattle owners in Maryland, Virginia and Pensylvauia to this plague which is now on its destructive mat ch, and which will ere long men ace the herds of those States. TERRIFIC FIGHT WITH SNAKES. The Marietta (Ohio) Home News, furnishes the following thrilling account of a fight with three snakes which recently. occurred in that vicinity: Mr James Lank ford, of Fciring township, had a severe fight with three enormous spotted black snakes, on Monday morning last. He had been repairing a harrow by the side of a very large tree in one of his fields, when a strange sensation passed over him, which paralyzed him to such an extent as to render him most powerless. He felt con scious that danger was approaching, yet seemed unable to save himself. He heard a rustling noise on the tree behind him, and was partially aroused from his stupor by a snake six feet aud four inches long and seven inches in circumference, striking him on the back, passing over his shoulder, around his body and under his arms. A second snake immediately coiled itself around his body. Seeing a third approaching, and aroused to despara tion, he seized an ax which he fortunately had with him, and by a lucky blow, served it in two six inches back of the head. This one was five fect and ehiht inches long. Mr Lankford 'then turned, his efforts to rid himself of hisothcr two foe?, then beginning to tighten themselves unpleasantly; around his breast. A severe contest ensued, last ing fiftceti or twenty minutes, during which !MrL. was thrown down several times. The reptiles kept up a constant hissing noise, and emitted a fetid, sickening odor.
