Uood character U cot only desMve In furor or a defendant, where a doubt exist, bat It may be of teen wrrth at to ralee of itself tbe doubt wbiob. ei title i the accused to an aoqulttal. It prenige weight In each oare la a quaatlon, like all other facta, exolntively for the jury. Yon have heard from me that yon are to give to the defendant at eaoli stage of yoar Inquiries aid at the oonolutlon of your deliberations the beaeUt of every reasonable doubt. This doea not wean that von are to speculate aa to whether a matter established to your aatlsf tctlon nay not be otherwise, ltmeana that yon are to take nothing for granted upon mere aasertlon, and It means further than tbla, that where you honestly hesitate npon the question whether oertaln evidence establishes a given proposition, when your mlada , after n ature deliberation and earnest ellort to ar t rive at the truth eannot oome to a aatlafaotory J conoluslon aa to the existence of a oertaln f act, or -aatolta tlleot, then the doubt belongs to the da ' fondant. The dlttloulty must he suggested by the ease and not by yourtlmaKinatlon. If the beam wavers, tben the doubt Is thrown Into the defen dant's toale. but you must not 10 hold the balance aa to create tremor. You may possibly wish to fix the preolse time of the murder. I have analyzed the testimony on tlila point thus: Sarah Campbell aaya she left Mrs. Hill' a house about 8 P. M. In the evening she waa at the hoase of a friend. In Lombard street, between (Seven teenth and Eighteenth streets. It atruok 9 o'clock a few minutes before ahe lei t. She probably rea.ob.ed Tenth and Floe about 26 minutes pest 0. Frederick H. Weaver, the watchman, waa going . to Lla bank, and at 20 minutes of 10 o'olook be aw a woman pull the next-door bell. The murder had then been discovered. John P. Montgomery, Kiq., took tea at 0V; ' remained In the dining-room, aljolnlng the scene : of the murder to the nortti, until five mlnutoi pat 9. He then went to hla bed-room; oommanced to read, aid had read about half an hoar when he heard a knook at hla doer. Mr. Doeterand Mr. Uhannlng Leldy wereootn- leg down Tenth street about hall past nine o'olook; understanding that something had ooourred, they went Into the house. Mr. Loldy aaya the body waa then cold. W. H. G. Morrell aaya that the clock atruok Sine when be waa In Tenth street, t elow Chestnut street, and that he went Into Mrs. HUP a hoase, about ten or fifteen minutes of ten. Dr. Zantzlnger arrived there at twenty minutes cf ten. Mrs. Hill was then dead, and had been dead, he supposed, twenty mlnutos or half an hour. Dr. Werritt reaohed the hoase about twelve uiln ntea before ten. Dr. Maury, the defendant's witness, did not see the body, but supposed from the description that It had been dead an Lour or an hour and a half, when Dr. Zantztnger made his examination. Aa Air. Montgomery waa sitting within a few feet of the aofa on wbloh Mra. Hill waa probably mur dered, with only a brick wall between him and her house, through which sounds were readily heard, and as he remained In tbat room from V o'olook to five minutes past nine without hearing the slightest noire. It 18 perhaps probable that the mur der waa committed ehortly alter Mr. Montgomery went to hla bed-room, say between live and ten minutes post nine. This would correspond with Dr. Zantzlnger's statement. If so, two or three of the win-esses examined must have been very near the house at that very instant, and the sor vant girl was then on her way home. I have thua endeavored, gentlemen, to touch upon every point In the cite, and to present all the evidence under appropriate heads, you must sap. ply any omissions you detect, and look searohlagi through the whole case. Accept no circumstance of whose existence yon are not well satisfied. Draw from It no con clusion save that justified by truth and by reason. (See to it that eaoh link Is perfeotly forged, and " logloRlly wolded to Its brothers la the ohaln. Al- low do element of the case to weigh against the defendant unless it point to guilt alone. Uuard yourselves agalrjst every possible prejudice, dive the defendant the benetit of every rational doubt, ' and ao discharging your whole obligation to the ! law, to the deleiidart, and to yourselves, yon shall i find tbat duties thus paid bring repose to the mlaJs 5 that atndy to perioral them. OVR RELIGIO US COLUMN. A Choir Caught. We know of more than one pastor who has been neatly annoyed by what poea on in hU choir (quartette or otherwise). If there ia no sieging alter the morning seimon, it sometimes . kappeoa that the organist, the chorister, or other men.beia of the company who do the music, find it convenient to take themselves away, ai their .part of public worship ia done. . If there is singing after the sermon, they can time it so as to be abent for a while, aid ; by guess-work or a preconcerted B'aal , o be back in season. A certain pastor - in this State, who had bseri mack dis turbed by this operation visible to him( but invisible and unknown to the congregation, thought he would try his band at a cure. Keep ing his own couusel, one day, wben the choris. ter and organist had left the house, and he was in the midst of his sermon, he concluded to have a hymn sung for relief. There was great alarm in the gallery. A member of the choir 'rushes out to find the missing officials. The hymn is given out, and an awful pause ensues. The congregation look round in an uneasy state, but the minister can bear it. At length the absentees are found and brought in, audthe congregation put in possession ol some yalua ble fao'.s.

Tie statistical report or the Congregational , General Association ot New York, ju.t Issued, shows a total of 2a2 churches and 221 ministers, . with 25,273 membera. Duiibg the yt-ar 1351 ' have been received on proTession, and 623 adult and 617 itfaut baptisms are reported. A boat 16 of these cburche have since formed the General Association of New Jrraey. There are 7 more tLinlbtere, 29 more churches. 3714 more meat hers, and 8392 more Sabbath-school ncuolurs than a year ao. " Conreaationalism In look'ng up in Missouri. Six churches bave te n ojqamzed damn? the year, making forty at-veu in all. In 1864 tbeie were but two Dr. Post's, of bt. Louis, and 11 r. Blurtevuni'p, in Hannibal. But lour ot these churches are able to go without the aid of the Home M.ssionary Society, aud the Cougrega- ' tional Union have utded all buttnreeol those ' which have built houses ot wor.tblp. ' Borne time ago the clergy of Cincinnati fora ed an Kvanueliral tliblatcrial Association, The atiarks ruade upon ttem iu the uewspupera by a "liberal" minister ol the city, lor their 111 bcriilUj lu ruling a theological fence in requiring eympa'hv wi h evanxeical views hb a conuU'on ot membership, lia led them to di'tlne what they mean by tho word "evangelical." Tue word Implies, theyaay, a belief in the Inopira. i tlon of the .Serlptnres, the ttinity of God, the (all of man, tbe vicarious atonement ol Ctinit, and resr Deration by the Holy Spirit. On the adoption of this system of faith as a part of the contiiution, Itev. W. T Moore withdrew from the Aaodation not because he objected to the nicies thcmaplvca, but because, as a member of the Uisclrile Cburca. be was opposed to every thing takihg tbe form of a creed. Atioovir still has a larger numbr of students than any of ita et-tter institutions, and showa a total of ninety. Tbe junior olaia is much smaller lhan either of the others, as the two ptolctsors ot biblical exegesis, thouzh superior fcbolsrs. are bo h young men. Next lu the numlcr of students comes the Ubtcago theological Seminary, which instructs 63, being eleven more than any previous year. Binwr bas 34. New Haven 25. Hartford 22, and Oherlln 16. This summary, which we have condensed trom the Conmtnationalis', shows the remark able progress ot tbe Seminary in Chicago, wnich at Its present rate of growth will win be the larpeHt in the denomination. Tbe Old Sohool Presbyterian Seminary at Princeton, and tbe Union ineoiomcai beminary tiew bcooou, in this city, bave both of them a larger attendance man Anaovcr; tno lormcr oocause it nai almost a monopoly in its dcnomina'ion, while the latter, owing to a great extent to its loan tion iu a large city, attract many Uonzregn tionalist who are willing to secure the benefits of a residence lor a year or two in the city, at tbe pOHHible expense of their scholarship. Independent. The Congregational church In Shullsburg, Wis., bas taken a bold step forwacd in tbe right direction. Trie palter, Hov. A. M. Oiion, D. D., had been holding meetings In an adjacent neigh borhood, and had received quite a number of converts into bis church, who, living at too great a distance to be regular a'.tendaut?, wi re recognized as a branch cuureh in that locality. Not beinir able to supply both them and his church in town, T)r. Dixon relerred the matter to his church, which settled the ques'.lou in a nianuer in accordance witn umgrcga'-ionai het dom, by selecting two men who were to act as lay preachers in that aud other destitute settlements among the lead mines adjoiuing. They will read and study uu ler the supervision ol Dr. Dixon, aDd talk, exnorc, ana preacu as (rod shall give tbem ability, while purauing their daily secular employments. At the last coin rauu ion season these brethren were solemnly set apart by the cburch with prayer lor this special aervice. This example of tho church in Shnllaburg shows how Curistian work should bo dune. If ministers canuot be found, then con secrate laymen. Tbe best man that can ba bad is better thau none at a'l. There is no re iein why Methodists should monopolize the excellent institution of local preachers. Iniependent. EPiscorAL. The Episcopal Church Almsnac reports S3 dioc'ses, 49 bishops, 2730 clerery, 2112 paiisbe", 20,835 infant baptisms, 21,0f8 continuations; 194, 192 conimuuicaats, 1P4.040 Sunday Scao 1 scholars, and contributions amounting to ?.4,457.b8. Tuauki'lving services were held in thu missionary chapel in Athens, a' tended by the Americans and orae Eugl'.sh-spe.iki'ig Gteeks. Pr. Kmg piesided, and read tne Pie-idon'.'s Thauksgiving proclamation. Mr. Bennet, the Episcopal clergy man, who officiates iu place of Dr. Hill, offered prajer, aid an ad Iress was made by tbe Amencan minister. His address waa trani-la'ed iulo Greek lor tbe city press. The Protestant Bishop ot Cashel, in Ire land, used to say thnt he wis but little troubled with Tructarlanisui In hia diocese, tbe reason being that tbey had too uiu:h ot tbe real article at borne. A correspondent of the London Record accounts on the some principle lor the fact that there is no city in Canada, leaving out the Protestant diocese of Huron, which has so much sound Protestantism aud so many Kvau gelical clergy as Montreal. Tbe London Aon-conformist says that "Mr. Gladstone'ii increased majority hu boeu pro cured from tho uon Episcopalian communities. Nearly if not quite the whole of it i9 the result ofrflue elections in Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. The gain on ibewbole eltc'ious twenty-tnree seats.'' Of these seven ore iu Wale, eie,ttl in Sc otland, and neht in Ireland. ' Tuat is to say, Nou-conlormist Wales Piestyteri.in Scotland, and Roman Catholic Ireland hive returned the whole of the lucrea-ed Liberal maionlv. The representation of ngHnd stands ex iclly ai it was." BAPTIST. Statistics of the baptist churcbea iu Peun silvania. iust Dublishid. show that there are m this State 18 as.? ciaiious, 443 churches, aud 60,497 members, ot whom 3725 were received la-t vear on Drofession of faith and biDlism, A Swedish Baptist cburh was organized in Red Wing. Minn., November 23, with a inem- bershio of fifteen persons. On the same day Mr. Ongman, late 'rom Sweden, was ordained to tbe ministry, and called to the pastorate of the church. -Thel-aiehl Ptreet (N. Y.) Baptist Church has invited Kev. Matthew Hale Smith, who has nreachtd for tnem tbe last six Sabbath, to bi come tbelr pastor. A minority was opposed to this invitation, and the council which met la-t Thursday night decided after a stormy seseiou to adjourn for six month. Tbey refused to vote tor or against Li m, and seemed reluctant to admit him to the brotherhood of Bantist pastors. On Monday evening pf this week a Baptist Union was formed in Brooklyn. The meeting was held at the Mansion Hou'e, and was attended by about 75 gentlemen. Tne objects of the union are to form and increase the ac quaintance with each other of leading members of the Baptist cburchea in Brooklyn, and to circulate Information concerning the churches amonn each other tbe model boiue the Boston BaptiBt Union. Only laymen are to be admitted to membership, and tbe initiation lee is to ba $15, with annual dues of $12. The meetings are to be held monthly, and once a year Indie are to be invited and social entertainment ii to be in dulged in. The officers for the present year were elected; aud then tbe company sat down to a plaia dinrer, after which speeches were made by ministers aud other invited guests. Tbe Union will doubtless exert great pjweraodba ol gieat use. PRESBYTERIAN. The Presbyter thinks it rather "queer" that an Old School minuter oi Wisconsin, wno nas been prominently opposed to reunion, should bave just accepted a call to a New dchool eiiurcti me Jersey. Tbe Western missionaries of the none Mis sionary Society and of the N. S. Presbytenans are to be gratuitously supplied with copies ot Pro'essor Cowles' commentar.es on Bzeklel, Da nil I. and tbe minor nroDheta. -Rev. William C. D ckmsou, late pastor of tho (. alvary PresDyteriau unurcu ot UQicao iDu-t be a pastor of marked usefulness. If we may judge from tbe luct, that although he leaves tbe church alter a serf ice of only a year, his people expressed their regret at parting witn n m dv tbe substantial tritt ot siiuu. At acoulerence, ueid December b, oetween ine old School and Hew School Presoytertea or BuUalo, Dr. Lord, w bo was a participant in the siparation of 1837, said that the real cause of separation, and one not much noticed at the time, was the refusal of the Assuuiblv ( 1830 to establish a MUsion Board, under tbe charge of iuc temuiy, as tne uia sjdooi desired, rne caused dissension ia now practically obviated uj mo jiemiug or rne principle by the Nesr j-ctuoi men, wno have put nearly all their renevo ent aeouciea, except foreign missions, under tbe charge ot tbelr General Assernblv. The Aweru an Presbyterian gives an account oi a siupuiHr juvivui movement in I.ult, a to u of Upper Canada, the main feature of which is the rueefng oi urge nuniDera ot the people to rend their Bibles, and to converse with one another as to the meaning of the passgea read. Ic commenced with atreet preaching by two loymeu, recently arrived from Scotland. sJOn tie Methodist church was thrown open, aud then thai ot the Free Cburch. the largest in lown. The latter was, at last accounts, too snalltohold the crowd. Tbe presence of to convened Jews, and their experience in conver sion as based exclusively upon the Scriptures, are adding to tbe Interest. Ti-e Kev. B B. Parson", D. D., has been unhiiimoubly elected pastor of the Cedar Street l'rerbj leiian Church. Dr. Parsons labored for some time In esiablisbii g churches lnViscoii:n, and wbeu tbe war broke out was cilleit to M s Fouil, where be look charge of tho WestminstT thuichin SI. Jobtpb. The press of that city asys of hla labors In tbat nlace "that for several years be has labored with unflagging Zealand ndoslry to build cp Westminster Cnurch. until it now ranks among our most flourishing rli- giru organizations. Wherever Dr. Parsons may bo called, the good wishes of our people will go wrh him. A an able and eloquent divine aod devoted Christian, we commend him to tbe people among whom he may hereafter reside." METHODIST. Last March the colored preachers of Ken tucky, belooiinor to the Methodist EdIpoodaI Church North, prepared a petition to I be Gene ral Conference, prajina: that they might, with their charse". be set off in a seDarate conference. Tbe white State Conference approve). Tula petition was granted on the coadition tbat they noma continue to desire a separate organiza tion from thtir white brethren. The colored preachers of the northeastern district held meeting in Lexinaton. navember 27. aud yotei uuao lmousiy tbat It was still their desire to nave a separate colored conference.
