John Quartet. THK JOLLY OLD PEDAGOGCl. Twas a jolly old pedagogue, long ago, Tall and slender and sallow and dry i form was bent, and hie gait was slow, 1 1 long thin hair was as white as snow, But a wonderful twinkle shone his eye And sang "ery night as he went to bed, .1 haoov down here below iXnt Sfve though the dead be dead Said the jolly old pedagogus, long ago.

A great, and goou, and generous man was dead. Mr Long and Mr Harris, The principle in the case of these gentle men is perfectly clear.

There is a vast con spiracy against the Union and Government of the United States. Mr. Long cnd Mr. Harris are legislators sworn to (support both, Tbey declare frankly that they are in favor of al lowing them to be overthrown tor Mr. Liong says that we must recognize the uontederacy.

and Mr. Harris frankly hopes that we snail not succeed in the war. Now. if these gentl men are honest in saying so tbey confess that tbey can uoi. and do not wifh to keep their oaths.

For how can they legislate for the maintenance of what they declare can not be maintained at all, and not, in any case, to be maintained bv force They acknowl edge the success of the rebellion. They are, practically, rebels, since they pronounce for the dissolution of the Union, which is all that the rebels wish. If they are honest, and that may be granted, why should tbey not be, ta ken at their word 7 They do not, indeed, as yet bear arms against the Government, nor did Breckinridge when be made similar speeches in Congress after the war began for he did not take arms until October, lb'bl. iiut it, even Judge uar nard allows, a man who discourages enlist ments is traitorous, and may be properly pun ished. the House of Representatives, which is the judge of the qualifications of its own members, may surely expel two of them who honestly justify the attempt to overthrow its authority.

It true that consent to tne overthrow may not be so culpable as by force ot arms to attempt it. But under these circum stances the nwral distinction between the acts disannears. The accessory to a murder is baneed eauailv with the murderer himself Nor, ii they are expelled, are they punished ior words spoken in debate, bat for a practical complicity with the conspiracy, which ex cept for that speaking, could not oe Known. The question becomes, then, merely one oi expediency. But -uieiy they should be ex neiled or left alone, in retusing to expei ami at, the same time declaring them to be un worthy members that is, worthy of expul sion the House stultifies itself.

bupnose that either of the members had said upon toe floor, "I have sent arms to our Southern brethren." They would be merely words spoken in debate. But would the House content itself with voting that the gentlemeu were un worthy of their seats, anil then proceed, witb these gentlemen still voting, to legislate tor the suppression of the rebellion? Now Mr. Long and Mr. Harris deliberately acquiesce in the overthrow of the Government as a foregone conclusion. Can a House which really means to put down the rebellion by force, and which has a discretionary power ol expulsion by a vote of two-thirds, suffer such members to remain tor the sole purpose oi retarding and perplexing its action lest, if they are expelled, the right of free speech should seem to be violated The famous case of Air.

Qmucy and Air. Clay in the debate upon the war of lias been cited. But Mr. Quincy, wit all his bu ter vehemence, protested himself as devoted as Mr. Clay to the f'eu3e of the integrity ol tne country, ana toe mitiuteuauee ui me uuv-ernment intact.

If he had declared his acqui- hescence in the overthrow of the Government, does any body supp se that bpeaker Clay would not have moved his expulsion, and been supported by the common sense of the whole country 1 It is not the policy of the war for the Union, nor the details of its con duct, nor the corruption and weakness which they ght declare attended it out it is tne object ot the war, namely the maintenance of the Government and the Union, which Mr. Long and Mr. Harris abandon. How can they, under their oatns, continue to oe memoers oi that Goverrmeut? If the President should declare that he was convinced of the impossi bility of success, and that he would sign no more bills for the prosecution of the war, ought the honesty of his conviction and the frankness of his speech to save him from removal 1 So in this case it is Dot a question of freedom of opinion or ot speech. We are engaged in a war which must be prosecuted or abandoned.

Congress represents a people which wishes it to go on. Its members swear to do all they can to promote tnat purpose. If any one of them says honestly, I have changed my I can not keep my oath, because I believe success to be impossi ble," ought he not to wish, and ought not Congress to insist, that the question be referred to his constituents Then, ii he were re-elected, it would be evident that he spoke their opinion. Until then it must be assumed, in such a crisis, that he does not. As lor making them martyrs if they are expelled, and creating sympathy for the rebellion through vmpathy tor them, the case ot Vallandigbam shows that loyal men need not be troubled.

That case is perfectly well understood by the people of this country, and this would not be less so. Harper tveekiy. A to a Church.

Then The Postponement of the There is time enough, to make Presidents when the sun without hurriedly assembling for that purpose when the skies, are yet at best of an uncertain hue. do not see that the action of our State.

Committee. in memorializing for postponement can be rea sonably construed to mean a repudiation jof Mr. Lincoln, We can not so summarily dis miss the sound reasons tor postponement" the ground that they are politicians1 reasons, and not of the people. It may be true that the people are anxious to re elect Lincoln. It is certainly true that they are anxious to elect their candidate whether he be Lincoln or some other man.

Politicians are, after all, correct interpreters of the popular wishes, prejudices, and know a convention too early called might nominate Mr. Liu. coin at the most unfavorable moment to ensure his success. There have been dark, gloomy months during this war. when the people have been permeated with feelings of despair and deep distrust of the powers that be." We do not say that suet feelings were reasonable, or just, but they were at least natural, actual and irrepressible.

In those days ot dejection following close upon the heels of disaster had Mr. Lincoln been a candidate for the Presi dency his good qualities would have been orgotten by our impatient, irritated people, and we believe he would have been voted down. Are we sure that these melanchbly days are over i We fervently trust they are, but a great disaster to Grant, which is possi ble, would renew those days with their dread ful despondency. Mr. Lincoln most devoted triends would not wish him nominated at aoy considerable risk of defeat, for as patriots the triumph of the loyal party must be dearer to them than the triumph of any one loyal leader.

Let us not then risk the throwing away or a party triumpn oy a premature nomination. With all Mr. Lincoln's virtues the people would hardly shoulder him in the hour of misfortune, however much we might stand in need of his wise statesmanship. The month before the convention will be a month of war, and ought not. to be a month of polit-cal fugling for delegates.

Immediately after the convention, commence the party clamors and strugglings which will last until November. Put the time ot the convention off until September and'the agitation, both preliminary and subs qnent to the convention, would be considerably delayed, a thing devoutly to be wished, in times like these when the people's attention should be sternly bent upon the war, and its contingent troublesome questions.

tbe deceased, James Sweeny, being then a prisoner la the Guard House, escaped from the corporal in charge, and being remanded into custody soon after made an attempt to escape, but was pushed back by the prisoner. Soon after aboat 15 minutes past 9, tbe deceased, bwee ny, attempied again to pass me, and on. being pushed back held my gun and tried to push me away, and then struck me in the face and succeeded in passing me. I repeatedly ordered him to return, but he paid no attention, whereupon I struck him several times with my bayonet cannot tell how many. The last time I struck bim he fell.

I think Borne one assisted him to arise he went into tne Guard House, but whether alone or with as sistance I cannot tell. I think he was aoou one rod from the Guard Hoase when I first struck him. He kept on running till he leu, eight or ten rods from where I first struck bim, near the east end oi tne oarraoas. instructions were to keep the prisoners in the Guard House, and if they attempted to rnn away run them through. I did not shoot at him for fear I should wound some one else, as several persons were standing in the vi-.

Davis, officer of the day, testified that bis general instructions to the guard in tbe morning were to keep the prisoners Id tbe Guard House.

After that be found Sweeny outside Guard House without any guard, and, took b'm back himself.

The law of Congress approved Aug. 8, 1862 provides that there shall be allowed in hospitals, under such regulations as the Surgeon General may prescribe, such quantities of fresh or preserved fruits, milk, or butter, or eggs, as may be for the proper diet of the sick. THE SOLDIERS' CLOTHING.

Having shown how the soldier is fed and cared for, professionally, when sick, it may be well to state how he is clad when a patient hospital. The allowance to each soldiefl for five years is as follows i 5 caps, 8 coats, 13 pair trowsers, 11 pair drawers, 15 pair shirts, 20 pair stockings, 20 pair boots, 1 great Coat 2 stocks, 5 overalls. When he wishes to draw more than the above allowances, ha can do so by paying for the extra issue. When he draws less than the allowance, he is paid in money for the articles not drawn. Clothing of every description is issued gratuitously to all soldiers in hospital who have lost theirs by mutual casualties of service.

These issues to the sick and wounded are very large. Gratuitous clothing is also issued where it has been destroyed to orevent the contagion of small-pox or other diseases this class. But this is not all. Clothing of particular kind, differing from the uniform and suitable for the patients is kept in all hospitals, and furnished by the Medical Department i or issue to the sick while inmates. This list on the Supply Table comprises caps, drawers, gowns, shirts, slippers and socks.

APPROPRIATION OF TWO MILLIONS EXTRA. The law approved July 5, 1862. provides $2,000,000 for those discharged soldiers who, from diseases or wounds, coutracted iu service, may arrive in the principal cities unable get home, and for forwarding them to their homes.

A large congregation of small cbil- ren and children of a larger growth listened to the speeches with great interest. An overflowing congregation was gathered at the Methodist Churcn in the evening to hear Rev. Mr. Paddock of Kansas, on the sub ject of the Sacking of Lawrence, but he did not appear. Rev.

Mr. Dayton, had till a shot in the locker, and entertained the crowded audience nearly an hour and a hall with a stirring speech on the war. May be never want a reserve shot. Killed. James Sweeney of this village, a rivate of Co.

Seventeenth 'Regiment, at tempted to run the guard between 8 and 9 'clock Sunday night, and was bayoneted five times and so dangerously wounded that be ied in about five minutes. Sweeney was quite intoxicated at the time, and had forced ne guard before he was tackled by the one who killed bim. The guard was a private in Co. E. A court of inquiry was immediately ordered by Lt.

Col. Cummings, but its result ad not transpired at a late hour last night. The affair is a very uulortunate oue, but a far as we can ascertain, no blame can be attached to the guard, as he was simply obey- ng orders. Second Reoiment. Col.

Walbiidge of the Second Regiment has resigned on account of heumatism. He has been a most excellent officer and his fine regiment sustains a great oss in his resignation. Lieut. Col. Newton Stone succeeds Col.

Walbiidge. The Eighth Reoiment at Montpelier The Eighth Regiment arrived at Montpelier at 8 o'clock Saturday evening, where they were warmly received by the citizens. Gottschalk. It will be seen from the ad vertisement elsewhere, that we are to be favored with a grand Concert by Gottschalk on Monday evening, April 25. In addition to the Prince of Pianists," the Company comprises Mme.

Amalia Patti Strakosh, the popular Prima Donna, and Signor Carlo Patti, the celebrated Violinist. This company has been de- ighting large audiences in the principal cit ies of the country the past winter, and will undoubtedly draw a rousing house in Burling ton. Eighth Vermont. The Eighth Regiment re enlisted for the war, arrived in New York Thursday morning from New Or leans, and probably reached Montpelier late last night, or early this morning. Ihe regi ment is about 490 strong, and is the first ol our three years regiments to follow the ex ample of the 5th Vermont.

Eleventh Regiment. The Eleventh Regi ment are under marching orders, and it i said will go to the front. Gen. Sedgwick, it is stated, has applied to the War Department to have the Eleventh placed in his corps." Seventh Regiment. A small battle was fought at Pollard, near Pensacola, on the 2d, between the rebel troops there and the Federal troops under Gen.

began at about noon. At o'clock our cavalry charged on the rebel cavalry supported by infantry. A portion of Colonel Holbrook's brigade, consisting of the 7th Vt. 14th N. cavaliy and 14ih regiment Corps d'Afrique, formed the reserve of our forces, and being skillfully the rebels were whipped two to one as the rebel officers taken prisoners acknowledge.

The correspondence of the Boston Traveller, from which we ootain the above facts, says 'It is impossible to give the correctnum ber engaged on either side, as our forces were in two places. i rebels were commanded by Col. Randolph who ad a narrow1 escape The rebel loss was two-thirds larger than ours our injury being greater in tbe cavalry than infantry. Surgeon C. H.

Rare Refusal. a Mr. Forrest. borrowed a valuable horse of Asa Flint of Cabot, and the animal hurt himself by a nail in the stall bo as to cause bis-death. Mr.

Flint considered it accidental and refused to take the full val ue of his hone in settlement We gladly give Bpace to i the following ar ticle compiled from official documents, which we find in a late number of the Brooklyn Un- ton. It is understood to prepared by an eminent army surgeon eonnected with the Department in a East, and who is loud in his praise of the U. S. General. Hospital at this place.

We trust this article may be carefully read by all, especially "those who have relatives and friends in the service. They can see that the Government providesliber- ally and generously for the wants of the sick or wounded soldier MEDICAL SCPrLTES. The medical supplies for the army are pur chased by medical purveyors, at; certain cen tral points, and issued to surgeons in cnarge ot regiments, forts, garrisons, camps and hospitals, and to medical purveyors in the field tor re-distribution. The great central depot for the East is New York, where an immense warehouse is filled with supplies of every description, amounting to millions of dollars' worth, ready for immediate use, in any emergency that may arise. This department is under the charge of Surgeon R.

S. Satterlee, U. S. Army, an able and experienced officer. Medical supplies are issued on toe requisition of medical officers, approved by the Medical Director.

A small volume, called the Medi cal Supply Table," is issued to all surgeons in the service, and contains a lull list ot all medicines, stores, instruments, furniture and appliances required for the comfort of the sick, with the quantity of each article allowed for them, six or twelve months, according to the number of men to be treated- The table comprises every important therapeutic agent now employed by the medical profession and sanctioned by the United States Pharmacopoeias, while they are of the very best quality, purchased from the most experienced druggists, or manufactured by the most experienced graduates in pharmacy. The medical officer making the requisition is uot restricted to the tables. Our own personal predilections can indulged in the choice of articles not on the list, by stating the reasons for such preterence. Nor is the quantity allowed fixed the assignment of a good reason is all that is required for addi tional allowance. So liberal is the Department, while at the same time guarding against excessive and wasteful expenditures, that up on any emergency, the ordinary requirements regarding the formal requisition is unneces sary, and a mere list of the articles required, with the signature of the medical officers, is deemed sufficient to insure promptness is furnishing them.

The Medical Supply 'labia comprises 1. Medicines of every description, in suitable, convenient bottles and packages, tor traasportion. (n the list of medicines, whisky, wine ami brandy included as remedies, uot as stores. 2. Instruments of every description, from the best makers, for hospital, field and regimental service.

'3. Hospital stores, hereafter enumerated, in the diet furnished to sick and wounded sol diers. 4. Dressing, herein partly enumerated, adhesive plaster! binders' boards, cotton-bats. wadding, wool flannel, gutta-percha cloth, isinglass, plaster, lint, patent, picked and muslin, napkins, oakum, needles, thread, thimbles, oiled muslin and silk, hair, pencils, pids, roller-bandages, green silk loi shades, saddlers' silk, splints, sponge, suspen-dory bandages, tape, cotton and wooleu, linen thread, to.eis at.j.

twine. The above list of dressing alone will exhibit ue general character of the supplies. Nothing moie complete could be suggested. 5. Books and stationery, comprising works medical subjects, books for reports requir- by regulations, and stationery of all kiuds' necessary.

6. Beds and bedding ot every description, including air and water cushions. 7. i urntture and appliances ot all Kinds ior fitting and furnishing camps, regiments, posts and uospitals, comprising ninety tour articles. 1 here is also issued, in addition to -the in ti uments above enumerated, sets to staff and eimeutal si rgeons medicine panniers, con taming medical supplies for detachments ol roops in transitu, atid the hospital mess cnest containing the means for cooking in field ser- lce.

The army ration, provided by law for daily issue to each soldier, is larger than that issued in any other army of the world of the best quality, and more than sufficient lor tne sub- isteuce ot the men. The daily allowance per man is 12 oz. pork or bacon, or 20 oz. salt or fresu beef, 22 oz. of flour or sott bread, or 1 lb.

hard bread or 20 oz. corn meal. 15 lbs. peas or beans, and 10 lbs. rice or hominy to every 100 rations.

10 lbs. coffee, or 22 oz. tea to every 100 rations- 15 lbs sugar, 4 qts. vinegar 22 oz. candles, 4 lbs.

soap, 3 a. li oz. salt, 4 oz. pepper, 30 lbs. potatoes, 1 at.

molasses, The above ration is due each soldier, and in our large general hosp tals, where cannot be consumed, one whole amount due all the sick and wounded, each month, is passed to the credit of the hospital money, and the por-tioniactually drawn trom the issueing i.om miooary to uuomiat, iuc ica'iuft to the credit of the institution a large amount money, subject to the payment of bills lor the purchase ot luxuries, on tne requisition oi the surgeon in charge. To explain this more fully we will exhibit the influence of ntie hospital lund system in one of our large general hospitals of two thousand beds. In such an establishment the number of full rations due the sick, (not in eluding nurses, attendants, employees, is two thousand per day and sixty toousana per which at the money value ot twenty cents a ration, will be credited to the hos pital as $400 per day and $12,000 per month Ihe surgeon ot course draws sucn portions oi these rations for daily use, and the portion drawn only is'then charged agianst the amount above mention at toe cost price ot sucn tides. The nature ot the disease of the pa tients, however, precludes the great consump tion of oork or bacon, and beans and out a small proportion of the beef, flour, rice, horn ouv. cotfse, sugar.vinegar, pepper, potatoes salt, or molasses.

The balance then undrawn is passed to the credit ol tne pospital money as above stated. The allowance of pork alone, for two thousand patients for month, would be credited at $4,500: and it can be readily peiceiyed how little of this portion of the ration Aiill.be consumed by the patients of a large hospital. THE HOSPITAL FTJND. From the fund thus accruing, the surgeon in charge can purchase any article ot food fluid or solid, as butter, fowls, fruit, lk, eggs as he may require, as well as articles used in the preparation of food or as forage for cows, together with means ot illumination as oil and gas. The surgeon in charge of a hospital never touches a penny of this fund.

The rations undrawn remain undrawn in the storehouse ol the who, having passed their money value to the credit ot the hospital purchases the luxuries on -the requisition of the medical officer, and deducts on his month ly accounts the amount pail from that which was due. The hospital fund thus explained renders the hospital selt-sustaining, and independent of extraneous aid. it win oe admitted, now ever that the present high prices of luxuries while the prices of the ration is not increased fomnels a strict watchfulness to secure all that is But the hospital has other sources ol sup ply in addition to this fund. The baking of flour into bread adds largely to it the Government providing a bake house in all instan ces. The ration or nour increases one-tnira ia weight baking, the same weight of bread being given to the soldier as is due him by weight in 'flour.

Ten barrels of flour i will yield in baking the fulL allowances of bread and have three barrels and one-third surplus which the Commissary purchases, and passes the amount to the hospiUl credit. The of in of a to monious answer to this question is that he is a Christian Minister searching for the truth and that only." In point of fact, he is a cun ning old copperhead, striving to make a jpoW with all the pettifogging zeal of his lawyer days he is a Christian minister who has solemnly set himself about explaining the Scrip tures, and instead ot approaching his task an imated by a spirit ot child like candor, deter mined, as he fears to God, to pervert no writ ten words of no matter what be the temptation, he endeavors with wicked inge nuity to make the Word of God fortify, jus- tiiy that which had its origin only in the base and selfish passions of men. We are convinced from a partial perusal of his new book the Bible view of Slavery" that his peculiar opin ions are of indigenous growth in all men of his nature. The Bible is not responsible for the erpor of his "ays, but suffers at the bands of this irreverent Abbot of Unreason," who would square the Bible to meet his views, not bis views to meet the Bible. To do this he uses that erudition, which the Burlington Sentinel admiringly attributes to him, in making garbled extracts, which seemingly sustain his positions, a discreditable trick, very happily exposed by Professor Marsh in his letter of reply.

Examination will satisfy a careful reader that this learning of which the Bishop makes so affluent a display is either sadly superficial, or purposely perverted to make the worse appear the better reason. Let two instances suffice for this. Clarke, the author of the celebrated commentary, be says, fisished bis work "after emancipation took place- in Jamaica, and therefore belongs to the "modern school school of abolitionists." i Emancipation took place in Jamaica about 1833. Clarke's commentary was finished in 1826., Clarke died in 1832. Again, in the Appendix he rests his statements about the ferocity and degradation of the negro in his natural state upon "the work of Captain Canot," implying that Captain Canot, is like Captain Speke, or Dr.

Livingston, an intelligent African traveller. Although it is of no sort of consequence, so far as the argument for righteousness of slavery is concerned, whether the dreadful tales of Canot are true or not, still it is a little remarkable that be should choose to quote Canot rather than Livingston. The explanation is, that Livingston wrote his own book and Brantz Mayer a literary gentleman of Baltimore, as is stated in the preface, wrote Canot's. Canot was probably a garrulous old slaver captain, who found time In his retirement to spin yarns of more than ordinary interest, and Mayer readily appreciated how that recasted tbey would make an excellent tale of adventure, so writing tbem out in bis own and graphic lan. guage, be published a book that at the time met with a ready sale, and exercised a most salutary anti slavery iufluence.

This is the true statu of Capt. Canot's book, Twenty Years an American Slaver which the author of the '-Bible view of Slavery' peas ui in the same breath with Dr. Living ston narrative. We will leave our readers to judge whether this is fairness and honesty, or whether it is equivocation and conceal ment. Gen.

Meagher's Explanation, Tbe letter of Gen. Meagher, explaining the easons of his failure to meet his appointment to lecture on the 7th which by the favor of Capt. Lonergan we publish this morning, we think should be considered satisfactory to all concerned. It should also be stated that in making bis first engagement to lecture he ntimated that an order from tbe War Depart ment might prevent his coming to Burlington. The General will be seen now proposes to give two lectures, instead ol one.

My Dear Captain Lonergan It would be mpossible for me to convey the feelings ot mortification and vexatiou with which I have this moment read your extremely kind letter of tbe 9tb which, owing to change ot residence, did not reach me until late last evening. I had almost despaired ot ever having your forgiveness for the grievous disappointment 1 occasioned my friends of the Hibernian So ciety, and the many others, whose eagerness to greet me you have so torcibly But the friendliness the warm and perfect friendliness of you letter assures me that you have made full allowance for the deuiauds to which 1 am at present liable irom nigh quarters, and which may be justly said to de prive me ol tne mastership oi my movements Of this you will, i have no misgivings; be thoroughly satisfied, when i sta tne cause oi my not baviug Kept my engagement witn you and, also your not having heard from me, un til this late moment, in explanation.

An hour or so before Biartiog for Boston, on my way to Burlington, I received an order from the War Department to report foith- with to the Adjutant General at Washington. I need hot say that such an order was paramount to 1 engagements. I bad to leave in the next train; obedience to it, and this train was starting in a few So pressed was I for time, I bad not margin enough to despatch a telegram inlorming you of the tacts. Hence I charged my Secretary and Aide to do so the moment be saw the train This I discovered, ou my return the day beiore yesterday, he had lorgotten to dc Here you have the entire case, and ieei confident that all my friends in Burlington wilt accept it in good faith and with cordial (satis faction. 1 feel, however, that amends are due to tbem for the u.sappoin ment caused and all the kindness and hospitality that was lost, through my tailing to keep the engagement.

undertake therefore, to give you two lectures instead of one, tbe first being The Militan life and servites of Gen. Michael Corcoran as already announced tbe second," Personal Recollections of, tbe Irish Brigade and the Army ot the Potomac" i I have just telegraphed to you that you may choose any day after Wednesday, tbe 20th ol (be month, the next day, Thursday, the 21st should that please you, and that day, or tbe next, or the next alter, or tne next alter mat again, you may positively depend on my be ing in Burlington. jNotning so.au prevent it.

T. Starr King. The following interesting account of the 3ast hours of the Eev. T. S.

King ia from the San Francisco Evening Bulletin of Marzh 4 About two weeks before his death he first complained of not feeling well, and of some iroub with his throat. His friends urged Vim to be more careful and not to expose him-pf to tbe air but he thought It was only ordinary case of sore thioat, and declined io conBne Himself, or call in the aid of a pby- i until Friday last. In the evening be Jiad his regular reception, and between 10 11 o'clock went down to a social gathering at the church, ihougQ still suffering. On Saturday evening he bad invited a of friends to supper, but when evening came he was unable to appear at table. While flipper was going on, however, a bridal party came to be married.

Mr. King had received 3io intimation of Buch a visit, and sent down us king to be excused, saying that he was sick i and to nis obu. The party replied that they had set their i iearts on beine marriea oy jur. Jxiag, uuu Would come up to his bedside sooner than be defeated in their desire. With that spirit of Kpit.s!irtrinee for which he was so remarkable, lie then said he would get up and go down into the parlor.

He did so, and went through the ceremony, but though it was performed in a very lew minutes, he was so weak at its lusion that he had to be assisted up. to hia room. On Sundav morning his congrega tion were alarmed by the announcement that was unable to Dreach. Ihe attenoing physician pronounoed it a serious case of Uiputneria, ana saia ne saouia nave uwu -called a week sooner it bad been too long The dis -ase gained strength, and i tiieioaiient prostration increased. On wea however, the complaint seemed under ineihcai control, out so prostrated was me patient that for two days it had been difficult to keep ud his vital energies.

Yesterday he was visited by an attack of 1 -pneumonia, and experienced great cilnculty 1 of respiration. At 6 o'clock last evening the attack was very severe, and feared tf it miht prove fatal, but, the patient posses-ed wonderful recuperative power, and seemed io revive, passing a very comfortable night. It was always a peculiarity of Mr. King that lie possessed a remarkable degree of vitality, and that notwithstanding his feeble frame, he would endure a vast deal of fatigue, beiog sustained by the sheer force of indomitable will. It was remarked also that his constitution yielded to medical treatment with remarkable ease, a half grain of quinine pro duciug more effect on him than two grain -would on an ordinary man--so sensitive and delicate was his physical organization that he could drink neither coffee rr strong tea.

A consultation of physicians yesterday bad pronounced tbe di.eae checked, though they ileared ms system migunio ts able to recov er from its prostration. During lata night a light stimulants were administered him to fceep up the vital forces, and he seemed get-. along remarkably well until about halt I five in the when a second at- tack oV pneumonia set in the doctor having 4 PrT1siy staled that feared that his pa I tient could nut survive auottier attack. lo second was not more violent tnan the first, but the patient strength was soexbaumed that there was liitle or nothinp for medicine To build upon.
