Shot by Policeman. One of the saddest occurrences of the Christmas time was the serious shooting of a young man at Belmont, which took place Tuesday night. John Rhyne, aged about 18 years, was shot through the body by special policeman Westmoreland, who at the time was in the company of S. C. Trawick, regular police man. The particulars are dif ficult to learn, but it seems that each of the two policeman had another man under arrest when youug Rhyne, accidently as he claims, fired a roman candle or threw a fire cracker toward the policeman. Being unable to let his prisoner go to chase the young man, roitceman West moreland used his gun with very serious enect, tne Dunet going entirely through Rhyne's body. Booth and the Lord's Prsyer. Associate Reformed Presbyterian. In the palmy days of Booth, (the father of Edwin Booth), the great tragedian, together with several friends, was invited to dine by a person who was op posed to theaters and theater going and yet had curiosity enough to wish to see something of the lion of the day. During the evening some one requested Booth, as a particular favor, to read the Lord's Prayer. He ex pressed his willingness to afford the compauy this gratification, and all eyes turned expectantly towards him. Slowlj and rev erently be arose. Ail were as tonished at the play of emotions that convulsed his countenance His face became deathly pale, aud his eyes, tremblingly turned upwards, were wet with tears The silence could almost be felt: it became absolutely painful be fore his rich-toned voice from the death-hued lips indescriba blv syllabled forth. "Our Father who art in Heaven", etc. Ev ery heart was tunned witn tne pathos and solemnity of the oc casion. Alter tie nad hnisned the silence continued, until i ubdued sob from a remote cor ni-r A the room broke the spell The host stepped forward with treamingeyes and seizing Booth by the hand, said: "bir, you have afforded me pleasure for iiich my whole future life will fecrl g'ateful. I am au old man aud every day from my bovhood to the present time I thought I had repeated the Lord's Prayer, but I never heard it before, never." Booth replied: "To read that prayer as it should be read, has cost me the severest study and labor of thirty years; and lam far from being yet satisfied with my rendering of that wonderful production. Hardly one person in ten thousand comprehends how much beauty, tenderness and grandeur can be condensed in a space so small and in words so simple. That Prayer of it self sufficiently illustrates the truth of the Bible and stamps upou it the seal of Divinity." So great an effect had been produced by the reading that after a few minutes of subdued conversation, the company broke t p and retired for the time at least with full hnrts.
