C, SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 8, 1856; WHOLE NUMBER 1346 X - . 1 1 I LV 1 III III ; MISCELLANY; A aRET MANi IN. DISGUISE. Many vears ago it happened that the elder-Vernett the Dainter. was travelling Rom Maraeillea to Paris in the Coche-voi- turin, an extra' heavy diligence, which per formed tftelgournejr in three weeks. Among the paasengefs packed up in ample cavt tiee, Yerneijook particular notice of a fat mart, "fred and vulgar face, whose ita eeraedQt thick as his body ; and re solvirjg to amuse himself with , this gro tesque peonage, he showed , him a great deal ef poufe n ess, whSch the fat man re Huxfied aw k warn ly,' bin g-ood humoredly. ThejafAn eame to a bill ; and as the poor jadee wuuM . have been topHy unable to drag" op tlCoche-voiiurin "with its fat and lean cargehe ' passengere got out. As tfcej'were 'walking, jthey passed near a ditch, of no great width, and Vernet,. who was a good lea per, offered to bet ' that he would clear it. .,' . , . What I riea the fat man much surpri sed, could you clear that? To be sure I could ; jit is net wide. . I should like to see joe set about it. . Why so? says Vernet, clearing it. You've done it sure enough, said the fat man ; I should like tojtry it too ; you have put -me in spirits, and I think I could get over. j ; . " . - You! cried the painter, bursting into a loud laugh ; I should jlike to see you set about it. I will bet our dinner thai you tumble in. t Come, now, don't frighten me beforehand. Let me see j our dinner, that comes to a good deal. j Three francs, I believe. That's a good deal of money; never gntnd I'll try it. Done' . After cutting half ajdozen queer faces. he fat man leaped, and plumped down a fool farther than Vernal had gone. I must have revenge, cries Varnet, rath er piqued ; you wont refuse me, I hope. Ohf.no: it is r mere chance, and n av not happen ago in ; al jiny rule people must piny fairly, and to-morrow we will leap for our dinner once more. The next day another opportunity of trying their agitity presented rseif and the fat man won, by a trine, us he bad done the day, before, and Was again delighted with his astonishing luck, while Vernet more and more mortified at the triumph of his antagonist, renewed the contest every !y without exception. But everything must have an end, and our travellers had arrived at their last stage ; on which the fat man went up to Vernet and said : Sir, I owe you a thousand thanks for paying for my dinner almost nil the way from Mar seilles here ; and I wish to show you my gratitude. If you should like to have or ders for Nicolet's theatre I shall be hap y to present you with theni ; for I am engar ged as clown there, and am to come out in two daye which may console you for be ing beaten. You leap beautifully ; but if you did it twice as writ, should have won jet the same, for II have . some master strokes in reserve, which I should have iiiiade use of to exemplify the proverb which of course you know) that ssys from good to better, as they do at iNicoI -el's. CAMP MEETING. TALK A chap down South went to a Camp meeting, and gives the folic wing amusing .account of the disjointed conversation he heard there 1 . . j: Preaching had not begun, and promen ading was in progress. We took a conve nient stand, and tried to catch the remarks of the various coup!esr!as ibey went slowly by us. I i "Yes, indeed," (two girls talking of course) ''and my Brother Tom says that Henry Soker biags about the many times he has kissed her right in the mouth, and she never slaps him at; all when nobody is by, and I'm sure I should die if people was to talk of me as they do about her " 1 "Corn is up again, you know, and I shall make at least six hundred barrels if I make a. peck, and consequently" uVVht a spectacle J this is, to be swah, Chaw Ah wondah if jhese people dera'd pooty gul, aim shebuild theyah own tents owa hiwah men to do it fowah 'em!

On Wednesday night last, says the Mo bile Tribune, of the 31st ult, "Two or three vicious scoundrels forced an entrance into St. John's Church (Episcopal,) and endeav ored tof destroy the purpil bible, hymn book, baptismal font, and organ After doing what injury they could in the body of the church, they ascended the stairs to the singing gi llery, where tbey laid hold of the organ with the intention, it is sup posed, of destroying it. The nois made in this at'empt awakened a servant in the rectory adjoining, who, seeing a light in the church, screamed so loud that ibe vil lians heard her and fled. The baptismal font was found this morning on the floor not much injured, and the pulpit bible and hymn book with sever 1 of the leaves torn out and much defaced. The object was evidently not to rot the church, as no ef fort was m deto take away any article of value. The vestry room, which contained the church silver service, surplices and the rector's private library, was not entered. The servant states that she saw three men in the church with lighted tapers or matches in their hands, and that afir she gave the alarm ihy fled down Monroe street, shouting as if in triumph over the deed which they had committed. The circumstance caused considerable excitement yesterday morning, and surmi ses were rife indicating that politics or de nominational sectarianism was the cause. We are assured by the Rector, Prof. In grahtim, that there is no probability of such being the case. He expresses himself as satisfied that nothing denominational or po litical is connected with the act. THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL GENERAL CONVENTION. A correspondent of, the Providence Journal, writing of the recent delibera tions ol this body in Philadelphia, says: " For three week lacking one day this Convention sat, the largest body ever convened in our ecclesiastical couucil. And yet at this time, when there is a broad such a parly spirit, a spirit of fac tion ;' when questions of the most exci ting nature- have agitated Ihe land ; when brother has risen against brother and father and son have beon at vari ance ; when there came to this Conven tion persons from the North and the South, from the East and the West, there has been throughout all the discussions a spirit of kindness, of brotherly love, de lightful to witness. What body but a church, a conservative church, 'progres sively conservative and conservatively progressive, could present such a specta cle a spectacle pleasing to men, to an gels, and to Cod ! Thank God, in these times, for a conservative church ! ..
