villc and adjacent towns mid territory
surpasses in extent of ruin, in loss ol 1.1
and destruction, anything of like Lino
which has befallen this country. Thosi
who have never experienced such terrors
can form but faint conceptions ol tin
forces so suddenly aroused nnd so resist
lessly put ill motion, and no iinauiualioii
can conceive thecharacterot ihe destruct
ive agencies set loose on their awful work
without amumeut'i warning ol what was
coming. The old expression of uiiexjicclcd
elemental wrath, "a thunderbolt from n
clear iky," feebly expresses the mad rage
ol the cyclone swooping down from
lienceful skies, instantly confounding tin
relations of light mid darkness, of sta
bility and helpless motion, ol safely ami
frightful plunge into tnortalilaugcrs. Tin
uncertainties of life were never more viv-
till v illuii rated than in the fate of inno
cent and happy children and their fond
and watchful parents, overwhelmed by
instant death or agonizing wounds while
in the pleasant pastime o the dancing
school. Transition from life to death,
from ease to agony, from comfort to mis
ery, from prusH'rity to ruin was made in
so many awful forms that the heart
grows sick in the coiitetiiplalion of the
fate of even distant and unknown suffer
ers. For the while their sufferings are
our siiflerings; they involve the Inter
est! of a common humanity. A deep, sin
cere ami generous sympathy is the re
sponse of every human breast, softening
to mine degree the blow that fell on those
who suffered.
When rending and hen ringnnd thinking
of this scene of desolation and death, we
feet more deeply the ocension of profound
thankfulness for the happy lot which has
assigned us to this mountain country so
absolutely exempted from tho terrors and
dnugcis of the cyclone and the tornado,
and from the floods now devastating our
western country. It stands uplifted
above tempest and Inundation, the Ara
rat upon which the nrk of lately may al
ways find lure refuge. To grandeur and
beauty of landscape is added the security
niminit ixstilencc nnd also from the ter
rors of the temK'Sl ; forthoughthe winds
do blow sometimes with fury, nnd the

The Church I Crowded With
Krleudu or the Itcpartlusr Hector
Ah AtTeclliiKMt-ene, nnd an Elo
quent dertuou.
Yesterday was n day long tolie remcm
licrcd by the member! of the Rpiscopul
church of this citv, and marked an era
in the history of the parish of more pecu
liar interest than frequently occurs iu any
congregation.
In fact, the history of Trinity parish is
most rcmnrkahlc, in thil, that since its
organization, now more than forty yean
ago, the same devoted clergyman has
ministered with untiring love and seal for
the spiritual good of its people; and
moreover the parishioner who waa the
lirst resident Kpiscopnlinn in Asheville
still occupies constantly her seat among
the congregation, which ihe hi seen
grow from a small beginning to the
throngs who now crowd the handsome
church building.
Il being known that on yesterday the
late rector would preach his retiring ser
mon insured a larger crowd than usual
and no one was surprised to find every
sent occupied, and munv perrons hanging
wistfully around the entrance.
Five clergymen were in the chancel and
took part in the impressive service! of
Palm Sunday. The Rev. Geo. Hell read
the 0ieiiing sentences, the exhortation
.mil prayers, nnd also the litany ; tbe les
sons were read by Rev. Wm. F.Rice, who
likewise read the epistle; the nwly
elected rector, Rev. McNcely Dullose,
read the anti-communion and the gospel,
ind gave notice of the services of Passion
week, which art as follow! : Morning
prayer each day, except Friday, at 10
o'clock, on Friday nt 11 o'clock, with a
-clchration of the holy communion on
rimrsduy morning at 7.30 and on Kaster
Sunday nt 7.30 and again at noon. The
new rector also announced the hymns,
which were well sung by choir and eon-in-gation.
The event of the dny, however, wns
Dr. Huxton'i sermon, for which the
lireacucr sclcctcu lis tue text nomnns i : i,
Itrcthrcn, tnv heart's desire and prayer
lor Israel is, that they might lie inved,"
which words of ihe apostle were a wor
thy description of the lile work of the
;ood preacher, as was felt and ncknowl
.ilged bv nil of his hearers, many of
whom had been baptized by his hands in
infancy and grown up to be men or wo-
nen under the iiilluencc of his teaching,
ind commended daily to God's mercy in
his pravcrs.
We understand it is the purpose of the
vestry to have the whole sermon printed
i'or circulation among the members of the
parish, and therefore we will not attempt
in epitome, which we feel would fall far
short of justice to I'r. Buxton; weeannot
however refrain from giving our readers
the closing words, as we heard them, im
pressed as wewere by theirenrnest pathos:
Dr. Ituxtoii said, "Finally, dear brethren,
let tne thank you, one and all, for the
numerous kindnesses which you have
lic.-iicd upon me during the pnst forty
years, of which my heart is filled with
many and sweet memories; during these
years we have passed together through
scenes ol trial and sorrow, and of joy and
happiness, encn of which has made its
impress on my heart. Nor is my grati
tude limited to members of my own con
gregation, but most sincerely do I appre
ciate and mention to-aav tne irequent
acts of kindly sympathy which I have re
ceived from other Christian brethren.
Daily shall 'my heart'! dciire and prayer
to God' ascend for these dear friends lor
their temporal and eternal welfare, and
ciiwciatly in regard to all Christians,
whether called by the name of ' Protest hm
Episcopal' or any other, that a speedy
answer mny be grunted to the prayer of
our common Lord, 'That they may all be
one even ns we are one.'und that we may
soon be drawn together into one fold un
der the blessed guidance of One Shephard."
lr. lluxton announced his intention to
continue his connection with the parish
or one year as rector emeritus, which he
hud decided to do in response to the so
licitntion of his people; and then closed
Ids life-long rectorship by pronouncing
the following benediction: "The Godot
K'ace, who brought nguin from the dead
our Lord Jesus Christ, the great Shep
herd of the sheep, through the blood of
the everlasting covenant; make you per.
feet in every good work to do his will,
working in you that which is well pleas
ing in his sight ; through Jesus Christ, to
whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Hon. B.J. Aston is confined to his room
