I ' rbe Presbyterian General Assemblies. i ^A.uy hope of the establishment of 1 closer relations between the northern ' bid southern Presbyterian churches pas been dispelled for the present by ' the proceedings in the two assemblies ' Sn Tuesday last. It is unfortunate that ' pie demand of the southern churchj that the northern body should absolute- j (y retract and disclaim its utterances ' luring the war, and the refusal of the j: tatter to do so should stand as a barrier j1 to reconciliation, but it will not be re-j' ssovecl until one side or the other grows [ [ess determined. M | We are at a loss to know why a body 1 Born posed entirely of Christians, should j K$)c more exacting and less forgiving ' ftthan the men of the world. It would ' Breeem natural that they should set a bet- ' Bier example. Politicians, business men, Rnasons, and corporations of every kind, except the religious, have clasped hands over the bloody chasm and are now uni- 1 pled in feeling and common interest. In)4 union and harmony it is generally re-; BBognized that there is strength, except !' Kjby those who professedly work and j! Epray for the advancement of the II?-;1 i^deemer's Kincrdom and for the glory of i; the Prince of Peace.

It is reported that Judge Jncf. E.

Gay beauxanS dashing belles, old maids and bachelors, young, old and middle aged, all ming- '1 led together and seemed to enjoy themselves hugely, ^ipeer was there with his string-band and little Dick was added with his violin. The young people could not resist the temptation and hail I to take a dance to give themselves an ! appetite for dinner. The dinner which was prepared by the skillful hands- of . the fair daughters of Antreville and Temple of Health reflects great credit upon them, as it was magnificent anclw^RB in abundance. There was enough for all and three baskets full were left. The afternooii was devoted to dancing and * nl courting. I needn't toll how Hut played the"gallant to a widow", or how Johnnie went for his little girl or the fuss that Starke made, or the. tyrass that Harvb displayed. I Will not attempt in this short article to tell the reason that Joe absented himself from the crowd or the size of Charley's pipe or the red bread that your reporter eat. After ' dancing one set and walking five miles home I am very much wearied and feel that I have spent another day for naught.
