THE LIFE OF OUR LORD.
HH IIAPTISH.
The above thrme formed part of a Kcrios of
discourses now being delivered by the Rev. J. W.
Bc.hene.it, Taster of tho Third Reformed Dutch
Church, Tenth and Filbert streets. There lire
numerous points in this discourse which thrilled
his hearers with awe in the contemplation of
this scene in the life of our Lord. It must bo
perused to approximate an appreciation of the
beauty and high order of mind apparent in this
sermon. The text was from M itt. lit., 13:
"Tbert cometh Jesus from Galileo to Jordan, onto
John, to bo baptized of him."
Whou men would cam knowledge of tho jroneral
physical characteristics of a rciriou ot country, ttiov
choco representative snots, and study tnom, instead
ot examining tvery inch. Tims does tho geologist,
tho ootauist. Thus do those who dotormiue tUu
general climate temporature, and mete iroiotrv ot tno
various parts ot our eaith. The u oil of naturo has
so estab isht d and directed the law wlilcli govern
tkeso facts of creation, that a small portion snrlloos
to define tho ruling features ot an entire section.
And 80 uniform is this tact tliat scionco has boon
able definitely to locale zon s as climate boi(, and
to measure tno hounds of S'orms, and to Hx tlio
limits of IruitlulBes and slonlity. And so weii do
these methods answer this end, that no uitrinjo
m nt has been made upon them br successive and
improving generations, as they search tor increasing
K Lowledjfe ol these things.
On a like punclplo do we attain to the knowlodaro
ot ai least twenty-eight years ot tlio hie ot our Lord
Hie dei ailed account of tlu surroundings of tlu
birth oi His Sou, our t aviour, t .rotijrn whom we are
constrained to adoro linn, and wMli the aiagi, pre
sent to Mini, tlio choiuo-t, costliest, dearest ot our
heart's treasures, awakens denros to see tflat dotaii
cai ricd on, through HI cbildnooil and i outti, up to
His lull development; tho man wno was to be ''tue
refuge Irom the coming storm, and covert tromtbs
tempest!" But God determines otherwise. ,110
chaoses a singlo spot in each, leads us into an ex
amination ot it, and bid- us take our survey ol th
whole region fronv that standpoint. And what
sublimity rises tetoro our vie, as we look at Uis
child! ood in tho light ol tho inspired dooiaration.
' J be child grew and wnxe i stroug in spirit, iilli d
with wisdam; and the grace ol (-tod was upon Him!"
And how in peerless magmliconou looms His youth
beiore u, as it is sketched in that scene wuicb pre
sents htin uttoiing that wonderful "My Fatur, "
which points to His real re ations. and miugioi with
this, that strange subjection to human parents,
through which, whiio He ' grows in wisdom and in
stature," He "increases in favor with tod aud
man!" And who finds not these singlo Incidents
really representative in their character, fully uoter
mining what the whole ot each pencil was? Hut
His manhood in wliioh His great mission as the
anointed oi God was to be wrought out, and t.io
great foundations ol lifo and hope, righteousness in
Him, wore to bo la d, is not so shown to us. Here
God takes us by the hand and leads us close to
every inch ol the wonderlul region, that wo may see
and learn bow fertile it the career of Christ in
lig.ht, and guidance and blessing. ;
Jeeus has attained the age of thirty years. This
Is the legal ago. Here the Prophet and the Prinst
step foith upon the active duties of their oluce.
And, now, Jesus walks lorth from His obscurity,
never again to behiaden. liocomos out of Gaii.ee
to Joroan, that John, who has tor six mouths
preached Him as about to appear, may oltioiallv
point him out to mon, as well as personally know
Him himself. And here begins an earthly caroer
short indeed, being only three ears in continuance.
But, though short, it makes a history, varied, rich,
wonderlul, magnilicont, and withal interesting and
usciui to men, beyoud all annals of heroes sa.es
worthies, the world may furnisn beside. Tue his
tory ol a man, indued ; but, in that man, the history
of "the Wonderful, Counsellor, the Father of Eter
nity, the 1'rince ot 1'oaco." Upsn whose shoulder is
"the government," and "of vho increase of wnose
government and peace there shall be no
end I" Xhore are names that graco tho clirouiclos
of human achievement, in government, in struggle
lor sacred principle and right, in philosophy,
in philanthropy, in lei giou, of whom we read witu
interest and wonder, and whose memory we are
glad ,to euBhrinc in our affoctions and perpetuate
in monuments of material enduring. Aud while we
read and cherish, we dend out praise aud than (ful
ness, beyond aud above these aotors in the s.ena of
their doings, to the Grout Tower, almighty, wise,
beneficent, that gracious:y wrought tue.e woudurs
in and through tbem. Whatever our emotions, we
feel that we read, thougb of mon wise, no ale, great,
good, ay, holy, yet of men only men dependent
tor all they achievod upon that grace which is no t
enfeebled in its operations even when employing
weak instruments. But when we real this narra
tive ot Jesus' public ministry of but three years'
duration, we instinctively put ourseives in reverent
attitude. At every stage of our progress we paue,
amazed and mute. He speaks I we hear, aw e-struck,
as it the beavens rumbled, or voiue of angels
sounded. He works! we look on aghast, as it the
almighty energy that called the creation into being
were exerting itself, lie sutlers ! and our lips are
comproiBed, our breath is held, our forms are nailed
to tho spot. We move not, speak not, think not,
scarcoly breathe! We only mut.ly adore, as if tue
heart ot the universe were wrenchi'd in agony, and
carrying in its rout affections the burdou of a
world's condemnation, uut ot tue limits ot uuman
being we are borne into a. region strange, marvel
lous, unearthly.
We can stand by a bieastwork of most pondorous
strong. h and exquisite linish, that stays the current
oi the noblest stream, to lurmsh power lor man's
service, and iroely express our admiration and ao
pieciation of the skid and enleiprise manifest. . Hut
oicharaoter akin only to a sense of littleness and
insignificance are our emotions wbon we look for
the first time on Niagara's mighty cataract ! As that
river rushes and roars and foams through thoaO ter
rific rapids, as if hastening to their resistless plunge
over the l ariul precipice in measureless mass, we
find ourselves speechless, non-admiring, because we
dare not venture an opinion I The former we kuo w
man by his own power wrought; the latter we feel
to be the resistloss flood, pouring, at His command,
tiom the hoilow oi His band, who built, by a word,
ibe preoipioe ever which, with such swittnoss and
m it it, those waters leap into the frightful depths
below. Like this tho effect ot looking iuto this in
imitable, this strange narratlvo. Before us we teel are
laid out the sayings, works, and sufferings of the
Cod-man. When He speaks we iecognize Him who
deolares Himself the Alpha and the Omega, tho be
ginning and the ending, tbe first and the last, "The
Eternal Wisdom," the Word of God! "He speaks
as one having authority, aud not as the Scribes."
When He works we perceive Him in whom "dwell
e:n ail the fulness of the Godhead bodily," and whose
is ' all power in heaven and upon earth;" who 'up
holdcth all things by the Word of His power!" lie
works as one who controlleiu ad things; who
"speaks, and it is done; who commands, and it
stands fast." And when He suffers, we seo in that
anguished foim, nailed so submissively to tho tor
turing and accursed cross ay, in i's iil'eiessness
before the expected time of decease the Word ful
filled : "No man taketh mylile from mo, but I lay
it down of m te I; 1 have power to lay it down!"
And when He comes iorth from the sealed aud
guarded tomb, then in t ill personification, wo see
the truth ot tbe ret: "1 have power to take my litb
again." He dies, and rises again, as one who ' can
not be holden ot death "
The opening event of this strange history now
claims our attention. Let us repair to Jordan's
memorable shores memorable, as onoe trodden by
Israel, as they came, uucer Divino leadership, to the
possession of the promised laud fitting that the
piace of witness to the imminent of one part ot tho
promise to aud concern. ng Abraham's seed should
be the sceue of the mam testation to Israel of tho
completion of fulfilment. Let us roverontiy wait
here, and watch to see what shall transp.ro. Kovo
rently we say, lor hoar, the Forei uuuor spoalts. I
am "the voice ot one crying in the wilderness, 'Pre
pare ye the way of tbe Lord; make His paths
straight'" "I indeed baptize you with water unto
repentance; but tie that cometh alter ms is mightier
than I, whohe shoes 1 am not wonby to boar. He
shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost aud with fire;
whose fan is in His hand, and He will thoroughly
purge His floor, and gather His wheat into His
garner; but He will burn up the chaff with un
quenchable fire." And now follow his hand as he
points in tho direotion ot Galileo, and singles out an
approaching form, aud says, "I bis is He of waom 1
spale, He that cometh alter me is before me; lor He
was telore me, and of His fulnoss have ailwere
ceived, aud grace for grace." Aud who is it that
conies? Fair and comely is bis appearanco, giace
lul His carriage, majesiio His expression, lie still
and do reverence, John bohus to Bay; a greater than
Moses approaches. ! he law was given by Mosos,"
but "giace and truth," which have devised the way
and means of release from tho law's dread curse,
' came by" Him. "Jesus Christ." Ay, more, lho
treat Clod hath never boon brouarut to mortal sight.
But He who comes, "who is the imasre of the invlsl
ble bod," "the only berot en Son;" He, in Uis
person and the works He doeth, "hith deolared
llini.". lie who comes, then, Is the graoiom Saviour
Christ the Lord! The Son of God 1 But we are uot
simply to look upon that wonderful being. Now
bear, and learn to trust and to adore! He ap.
preaches John; perhaps speaks. However it ba,
John understands; and we perceive that His objuct,
strange to relate, is "to be baptized" ny him I We
are filled with wonder that tbe Great Superior should
seek this honor of the inferior. John sympathizes
with os, aud shrinks from the task. "1 have
need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to
mef ' What thail explain this unusual, unexpected
movement? John's baptnm is with water unto
rpeLtance But neod- He, w.io "Snows no sin,"

evidently, come He. No! not oven thu to signify
ills close relation to the humanity. Ue came to lite
to honor and rory. for as suon, Ills every work
and way must show Uis native exemption from tne
sin and corruption from which Ho camo to dolivor
men. 1'hat He comes to John to be baptized seems
to indicate another and extraordinary element in
thai baptism, adapted to Hm and ills present cir
cumstances Arid so it is. John's bapti.-m does no
exhaust Itfell as the sign ot punfloa'ion, and tho
yy of expressing repentance. It involves mori
Its leading fundamental Idea is that of preparation
and consecration. It marks in its subjoois tue com.
meticement oi now oourse of l.fe. Jesus is about
to enter upon His pccul ar course of lite as tho
Anointed or God, He coinos to be publicly sot
apart to His special work. But why ohoosn John'
bnpglflm for this onjeotf Why not go to the torn pie
and use the water and tho oil there consecrated to
this purpose? e see, my friends, in the unusual
method adapted, the employment of an agoney
sieciallyraied up (tor sucti was John's baptism),
the t eginiiing of a series of unusual events. Events
wdich propbeov doolarod would evince to tho
Israelites the Messiah, indeed, come John, wno
was "fent to tear witness of that llgtit" which
"lightotn every man that oometh into tho world."
has for six months proclaimed His coming, savin?,
"Repent ye, for the kingdom ot Heaven is at hand."
And now, on him, the appointed Foreiunner, it oe
volvcs, to point on, to Israel the person of Messiah,
and publicly to Induct Uim, by special process, into
His cilice. And this leads us to notico a peculiar
o'enu lit end province ot John's baptism, which h
himself spi ciully proclaims, l ho day after His bap
turn, John, pointing to Jesus, says, "Bouo.d the
Lamb oi God which takeih away the sin of thj
world!" "J his is He of whom I spake; alter nu
cometh a man wbicn Is pioforrcd before mc, tor He
was before me, and I knew Hm not, but that II j
should be made manifest to Israo1, therotoro ami
come, taptizing with water." This is tho point in
Ilia, baptism, that est ecially mado it fitfug that our
Lord stiOJid nso it. It was appointed that while
nan j weio baptized unto ropenluuco, confessing
their sins, John might, in bis ordinary work, by tho
seme pi coete, 'officially sow Jesus, tho Christ, unto
Jsruol
it is truo, f ur Lord wou'd honor tho ordinance in
its application to other uses; but it is clear John
would never have come baptizing but to perform
this specilio duty in this spociflo way.
Our Lord's reply to John's modest question fur
ther leads into His cesign, in coming to be baptized
ol him. "Sutler it to be bo now, for thus it becometti
us to fulfil al righteousness." lle .o.d here the
striking contrast be; ween Him and other subjects ol
John's baptism. Ibe latter mako confession of sin.
He makes avowal of righteousness. He not only
answers John's question, but He gives implied testi
mony to tbe principle ot His whole course of belt
renunciation and seit-substitution, As in later times
He speaks ol His sufferings as a baptism, so does Ho
now a'readv ''con empiate in baptism His suffer
ings." And in what a Btriking form is all this
brought beiore us as Ho says, "It becometh us ' thus
to "fulfil all righteousness!" What a powerful
evidence of His consciousness of the necessity of
pertect obedience to a 1 the Divine specifications, in
order to work out efleotualiy tho sublime plan ot
rtdomp ien! But Hesavs not it becomoth "me,"
nor "you," but "Ms." It is not difficult to see that
this extends His Bublime thought even beyond Him
and John. He evidently designs to shadow here
that "leliowsnn of His sufferings," "being mado
conformable to His death," which thev enjov who
' win Christ and are found in Him," "having tho
righteoun as which is of God by faith."
He utters this "as tbo Son ot Man, in tho namo of
humanity." "Ho, indeed, Is pre-eminently the Fu -filler;
but all who become participators ot His right-eousuc.-s
fulfil in Hun, and through Him, tue same
righteousness, and in the same way." It is tuerefore
evident that John's baptism is, in Uis case, put to an
exclusive and even extraordinary use, even to His
"anointing to that sacriilco ot Himself for sinners
which now first properly begins." Tbe offices on
which our own Lord was now entering were those
ol Prophet and Hinh Priest, in bota of which
anointing was required But while ho exeouted both
these offices, His work hero consisted specially and
chiefly ot the functions of High Priest. His life was
bis sacrifice, culminating in His death. He "became
obedient unto death." lho "fulfilling all righteous
pess," on our Lord's part, is on this wise, lho first
requirement in consecrating the High Priest wai:
"Aaron and his sons thou Bbalt bung, and
sliait wash them with water." In His baptism our
Lord "lultillod" this liteiallv in the use of water, but
extraordinarily in the manner and form of its use.
Kext, on Aaron were to be placed his lull ollicial
robes, to distinguish him. then he was to bo
anointed with oil. These latter, indoed, were not
fu filled in the ordinary way. But behold bow, as
befitted His exalted chai actor, as made a High
Priest, not without an oath, and not alter the o.oer
of Aaron, but Melchisedek. He does carry out, in an
extraordinary manner, tbe underlying principle,
which was, by the usatce in the case, "the order" ot
Aaron, only symbolized. As Ho comes from tho
water "the heavens open unto Him, aud the Spiiit
otGod, descenalng like a dove, lights upon Uim."
Here is that which He Himself doo ared His an
nomting, when He applied to Himsell the prophetic
words, as lulttlled in Him, "Ihe spirit ot the Lord
God is upon me, because He hah annointed me!"
And now look up and hear, and behold the livery of
office nut on Him bv the Father, audibly speak
ing, anu inere came a voice iroiu nuuvju:
"ibis is my beloved Son, in whom I am well
pleased." The strength ot the terms here used is
worthy of note. "Belovtd" means not merely best be
loved, nor only ouo beloved but only beloved, in
that high sense that admitB not of imitation or com
pnnson; and "well pleased" is given in ttia;
peculiar iorm of the Greek verb which denotes the
oternal act of loving contemplation with which the
Father regards the Son.
Mv iriends. the scene has pa-eed before you. How
does it strike you? Is this cereuionv ordinary? Can
its object bo ordinary? Is He who observes it ordi
nary f O! men! be reminded that here begins the
actual work of redeeming sinners from the bondage
of sin and tbe curse ot the law. Here is tue nrst
step in that "being made perfect through suffering"
which "behooved Him" who would "bring many
souls to glory!" Ueneo steps He foith upon
His strangecateer who "bare our griefs and carried
our sorrows!" Ay, be reminded that Ue, bumolo
in appearance, thus solemnly and strikingly
inducted into office, ts that Great One, who "is able
to save them to the uttermost that come to God by
Him." To give you confidence to seek this redemp
tion by tbe faith of this sacrifice, you have Him, on
Hib own part, "fulfilling all righteousness," and tbo
entire Trinity of tbe Godhead participating in His
ordination toiHis work, l'he Spirit anointing by
descending upon Him; the Father, in audible
word, declaring Him His only beloved, always and
eternally accepted Son. Bo reminded further, that
here begins the motion of that fan, the purging of
that floor, the separation of that wheat and chatf,
tbe filling ot that gainer, and the kindling of that
unquenchable Are! O, fnendsl it lays before you
tne life eternal aud the death everlasting. And be
reminded further that if you sutler the latter, it is
because you choose it choose it in tho face of most
winning Influences, designed lb commend and press
you fo the former. Uh! re.-ist not its piessuro, but
yield; and by the way ot tne cross go to a seat
beside the risen Jesus on Uis throne! One ovau
geliBt tells us that this Heaven-sealing ft Uim
occurred while he was praying. Here, and at the
close of His work, is a singular coincidence. Ju.-t
before He came to the cross He prayed, ' Father,
glorily Tby name." it was I lien, also, a voice came
irom Heaven saying, "i nave uotn gionuua it
and wil glorily it again." Brethren in
Christ, behold in this -the effloaoy of prayer
And mote tban this, behold how, at tho
outset as at the end. the great Intercessor Is
assured, and we are assured, ' luo Father hearoth
him ai ways." And, therolOro, behold howsafeand
suro your case entrusted to Uim! Ay, how effec
tive your prayers in His namo, and sent through
Him to our .feather!" And, mends, out of Christ,
what loss to you that you have Uim not your Advo
cato, nor pray in His namo! To be without Hun,
tour daysman, is to thrust yourselves iuto the grap
of the law to abide by its dec sious! To have not
Him, lor a Mediator is to have no way ot peace
with an ofleuded God ! To pray not in His namo is
to reach not tho ear ot Mercy 1 There is no promts
to any out ot or without Christ! Only His imapo

ance and laiih in Him, is known, and only known
as throuvh Him, it comes at the throne of the Most
High! Friends, you cannot llvo without His advo
caoy; you cannot stand in the judgment without
Uis advocacy ; theretoro loso no t me in seeking to
be "found in Him," and thus securing it; undb
encouraged by His own word, "Him that couiutii
to me," etc.
Now, iriends, Jesus Christ Is now officially befo-o
you as Mediator aud Uedcemer. l'he seal of Hoaveu
is upon Him. And as vou rejeot Uim, at tlio
peril of Heaven's ollicial wrath, so you re
ce ve Him in the assurance of Heaven's ollicial
acceptance and favor. And now, when Ue
comes to you 'declaring the Father," proclaim
ing Himself "tbe way, the truth, and tho life,"
pointing you to His Cross as vour peace, inviting
vou to eome to Hun with your burdens, and by
taking Uis yoke upon you, aud learning ol Uim,
receive rest unto your souls; commanding, ana
bas'ng your iriouashlp to Him on obedionce. Be
sure that in Just simplicity r. coiving aud shaping
your whole course alter His directions, you run no
risk. Nay, be sure that thus on'yyou go into tho
Pth of safety. For He presents 11U own o aims,
based upon this very portion of Urn history in this
way. "J nore is another that bearotlt wituesa of mo.

Aetists' Exhibition. It may gratify the
art-loving publio to learn that the comb.ncd body ol
Philadelphia artist have made strenuous aud sue
ccstiul etlorlB to present a lull line of fine pictures at
Ibeir Exhibition Booms, No 027 Chosnutstreot. Ihe
patients oi JVlessiB. McUieos and McfJann will be
crowded with works ot rmo merit. Ihe publio will
have an opportunity to examine them oil next week
until Friday evening, at which time the salo will
take place. Among the works deserving ot special
atttnuon may Le meut oned those of Kothormel,
bu ly, Moran, Lewis, and fiaulknor. This exhibition
ol arti'tio merit is gotten up every year, idostol
the pcntltmon are natives, and all are residents ol
1 hi ace i Inn.
Mr. J H Galvan is admirably represented, par.
ticulail ty a largo picture called "A Woodland
Scene in ILe White Mountains." 1 he fidelity with
which tbo i ctuil is rendered is admirable, while the
e fleet ot Ight and shade is exoedingly eorteot. Tho
smaller pictun of this artist are pleasing in design
and dciicate in execution.
Mr. Milne lianisey Bends five pictures. The spo
cia.ty of this i oung auo talented aitist is fruitery,
tempting to the cyo, and luscious enough to Bttal
right out of tbe cunva", if the artist would only turn
hiB back aud not w iti.ets the tl eft. Mr. liamsey's
compositions command veiy high prices. "The
Bacheoi's Lunch," with a cigar stump, puffing
Fmoko into the air, thomugot ale, cheese ana broad
scattcrca around, Is very trutniul. lie is remarkable
for fidelity iu colors and naturalness ot execution,
Ins grapes being the embodiment of excellence m
laintng.
Mr. 1 rank D. Briscoe will present four pictures,
mostly ot n ariue subjects. Like tbo great Hoguci
ol Paris, this artist finds his "talented brush on the
sea." There is a freshness of touch, a breeziuess of
atmosphere that is thoroughly delightful; one can
sit in his parlor and enjoy a magnificent sail merely
by ideality, in looking at three paintings.
E. B. Bonell sends three pictures, the most promi
nent ol which is the "Hostelrie" scene between
"Falstatf" and "Bardolph," where tho immortal
mountain ot flesh makes mimlo ol Bardolph's red
lace. The painting is beautiiul in contrasted colors,
and will be greatly admired.
George F. BensoU proposes five picture, the most
prominent and beautiiul being the "Valley ot
yemiug'which will prove a great attraction. This
artist is well known in this city irom bis composi

Cares," in which a pretty little girl is adminis
tering medicine to her doll. Ihe anxiety of the
child's face is well portrayed, ai d ihe picture will
command admiration.
Mr. J. Bryan Wilson sends two pictures, "A
Lion feeding in the Jungle," and a grazing scene:
the former will excite remark lor its wouderiul truth
to nature.
Mr. K. Heber Reed sends a number of magnifi
cent executions, among which aro "Woodland
V av," a scene from nature, with the golden sun
tinting the trees, "A Little too Veuturesomo,"
and "First Winter Day." One of the most gorgeous
paintings in tbe entire exhibition will be Mr Heed's
scene ot the "Poisoning of the Countess," irom oir
Walter fccotl's novel ot "Keuilworth." Ihe youth ot
ibis artist promises great advancement in his pro
tension. Meeting of the Fibe .Reorganiza
tion Committee. A meeting of the Committeo on
lire md Trusts of Councils was held lut evening,
for the pui pose ot considering the ordinauce to re
organize the Fire Oepuriment, which was rolerred
to the Committee on, Thursday, aud to receive sug
gestions from representatives of the Firo Depart,
ment. 1 ne committee appointed by a convention of
firemen were present, also representatives from the
Fire Association, aud leading members of tbo
department
Mr. Showaker, Chairman of the Committee of
I Fuemen, slated that tho firemen were in favor ot
reorganizing the biro Department, but were opposed
to the bill offered in Councils, because it was tha
! first step to a paid Fire Department; also, it do
prived the firemen ol the privilege of electing their

elected by Select and Common Ceuucils, shall con
stitute a Board ot Firo Commissioners " 1 he other
sections it was not proposed to alter materially.
Mr. Lyndull staled that one of tho great difficul
ties iu the Fue Depaitment was that there w erj too
many steamers.
The Chiel Engineer, In answer to a ques ion from
Mr btokley, said that not more than ouo third o'
the steamers could get a supply of water at any one
lime, and then they must be la tbe neighborhood o
a large mam. The Chief also stated that he was
opposed to mixing up the polioe with the Fire Da
uuriment, mu was iu mvur vi mu uiviuuu eiecuuj
their own officers.
Several oi the firemen present were ci the opinioi.
that the companies should be rod bonded, and tut-
number oi steamtis reuuoea.
Alter the firemen had retired, a motion wa mail''
that ti e Committee report back to Councils tho hi I
as reported by Mr. Evans.
It was moved to amend by striking out Chief o

a stone-mason, who was killed by tho falling of a
brewery in the courae of conalruct'on at He.mout,
in the 1 wcnty-loui th Ward, on Wednesday last.
MecLamrs at work at tbe builaing were exam nod
as Witnesses, and the carpenters test fied that tbe
stone wails were not properly tied together; wniio
tbo store masons testified t.iat Ihe cause of tbe fan
was not the want of a proper construction of the
walls, tut was due to tho lintels over the windo w
heads not being of stilllcieir tb.ckucss, to tho joist
placed on them extending too !ar through t ie wall,
and to an attempt to wedge the wad up when it
bipan to settle.

gono at the Instance of Air. Austin to examine tho
linns of the building which fell, and to inspect tho
new 8tiucturo aejoiinng whicli yot s ands testified
tba the lattor is not secure, in cons-quence of the
split In thecemie ot the walls and hoiiad recom
mi nded that it bo taken down. The mortar uod in
ti e building which fell ho did not consider good, as
he bad found lumps of limo iu it, and it did not ap
pear to arhcre well.
ihe jury rendered the following verdict: "That
the said t- eoreo Morris came to his death by the tail
ing of a linidlng at Belmont, December 6, lWJi.
From the evidence before us wo cen-ure Ylsssrs
Grace & Carhn, contractors lor the stono worn, for
