As ytou nee, we have left Concord, where—well, all in well that ends wed. We ar rived at Concord, N. tL, in “the stilly night" of the 18th of May. Bat neither Bro.

After evening comes the morning, ami with the morning came Mr. Fetoer, and with the lengthening Shadows came Mr. Winer off, who Is an oH friend, and has the honor of being a sub scriber to the Lutheran Visitor.— Through the carefnl reading of it, and the constant attendance on and the diligent use of the means of grace, he is an earnest, intelligent and liberal Christian gentleman, a worthy descendant of a long line of Lutheran aheestore. The pedigree has been lost, bat we maintain that the VHnecoffs were always Luther aus, and as for -a Winaeoff being anything else, we say with tiie Bapt ist preacher in Virginia, yon may as well try to make me believe that the d—1 is a white man. The intelligence from Bro. Cooe was unfavorable; be suffers from ill health; but being a working minis ter, he must be “sick of the palsy, lying on a bed,” if he falls to meet his appointments. We therefore expected him, and sure enough he, although unabie to labor, neverthe less arrived in time for Friday eve ning services. We preached once on Friday, twice on Saturday and three times on Sunday, besides ad ministering the Commnnion to a large nnmber of disciples. As re gards the preachings well, all who know ns know, too, what that was. It really is a pity, that there is not a paper published in Concord, may be we might have had the privilege to imitate the Ulnstrioa* example of a learned editor preacher, who pnb- lished the fraternal puffs given him by brother editors.
