To-day the beautiful and impressive

The Rev. A. A. Watson, D. D., Rector
of St. James' Parish. Rv. Geo. PaU I
teraon, D. D., Rector of St. John's Parish
and the Rev. Daniel Morrelle were
present in the chancel and participated in
the services. The candidate for Orders
was Frederick Ancrum ' DeRosset,
youngest son of Dr. A. J. DeRosset, of
this city. The Rev. Dr. Watson presented
the candidate for ordination to the
Diaconate, and also preached the ordina
tion sermon, which is spoken of by-those
who heard it as one of the most beautiful,
learned and profound of the many able
discourses that this eloquent and scholarly
divine has delivered ia i this city. The
charge, tp the yonng candidate who wss
about to receive tbe holy orders was sin
gularly impressive and beautiful.
Rev. Mr. DeRo.set is a native of this'
city and a young gentleman of singular
abilities. He has been a hard student
and a high' authority in hU ; church
has pronounced him to bp one of the
most erudite and thorough theologian a
for his age be has ever encountered. May
his mission be a long and successful one.

Serious Cutting Affray.
A serious cutting affray, and one which
will probably terminate fatally to the
wounded man, took place last night in a
negro cabin at the Belvidere plantation
near this city. George Everett and hit
half brother. Bob Everett, became in
volved ia an altercation about some meal
when they fell to blows, and during the
fisticuff Bob ripped out a knife and se-
verely cut George in the abdojien.
As
soon as the wounded man cried out he
was cut, Bob fled. The wounded man
was put in a beat and brought to this
city for medical attendance, Being late
when he arrived and not knowing how to
proceed, he was hauled about first from
one place lo another until he wai left iu
ai i ' ' mi -
tne guara nouse, inis morning ne was
carried to Dr. W. W. Lane, who rendered
the necessary medical aid. The knife
used is supposed to have had a blade
about three inches long-. The wound is
about four Inches in length and quite
deep, me omentum commonly caiud
"leaf fat, " haviag been cut- through and
left protruding from the wound. He
is now lying in, Dr. Lane's office. As at
has no money to hire a ream, and there
being no hospital or place of accomoda
tion f jr cases of this kind in the city, Dr.
Lane has permitted him to remain there
rather than turn him out on. the streets
to die. !
