Upwards of I500 ladies occupied the
galleries, and tended, by their presence, to
give an unwonted tone and relish to all
that was passing beneath their immediate
cognizance.

On returning to the buildings after the,-
labors of the field were over, the family‘
as usual soon repaired to the rooms allot-
ted to their every day repast. For this
purpose three tables were alwavs spread in
seperate-buildings—one for ordinary males
—one for the females, and one for the.
leaders-,. the two former of which are ftir
nished with plain substantial food, while
the latter is loaded with the best that the
land? is capable of affording, and not unfro-
quently foreign luxuries; forthese digni-
taries, if they do not always go on the
principle of indulgence involved in the
reported saying of the Elect Lady, whose

“spiritous liquor is one of God’s, good
creatures,” have no hesitation in acting
generally on the assumption that the gift
of good living is peculiarly their own.

unvarying, kangaroo like dance, performed
with uplifted hands 5- various eontortions
of features—or the occasional exhibition
of some freshly inspired elder or eldresit,
of a new gift for clapping the hands, for
shaking, jumping, jerking, stamping and

later city was shot in his berth, the ball
inflicting a severe but not dangerous wound
on the top of his head.- This took place
at night, and every exertion made to dis-
cover the assassin proved unavai‘ing. It
is thought that the person who thus at-
tempted the - life of Mr. T. followed him
from Louisville, with a view of robbing
him of a large sum of money known to ha
in his possession; and that strate_s__vy-failing,
the more desperate plan of murdering him
