About two years apo died suddenly Mr. James
T. Faussett, the proprietor ol a dry goods store
at tbe corner of Second and Pine streets, and also
of the adjoining building on Second street. Mr.
Faussett's death was very sudden, being caused
by apoplexy. On the very next day bis widow
gave birth to a child, besides which the family
consisted of five others, the eldest being now
about fourteen years of age. Mr. Faussett had
been successful In business, as the world goes,
and left his widow and children in comfortable
circumstances. The widow, moreover, was of
prepossessing appearance, and beinr not more
than thirty-three years of age, had a future
before her. The property at the corner of Second
and Fine streets was sold to a National Banking
Company, the adjoining building, however,
being still retained.
Some time before his decease, Mr. Faussett
had purchased the house at No. 8ij Pino street,
and, wishing to increase her income his widow
tilled tbe rooms with gentlemen boarders, nearly
all of whom were students of the Eclectic Medical
establishment on Pine street, above Fifth, at
the head of which Dr. Buchanan presides. So
much fof Mrs. Faussett.
Some time last winter, one Walter II. Foster
arrived in town. The presumption is that he
was a Canadian by birth, lie was about twenty
eight years of age, of attractive personal ap
pearance, and rather dashing in his manners
withal. lie came from Portland, so he said,
where be left his worthy mother, whose pre
sumptive union to a presumptive second hus
band had changed her name presumptively
from Foster to f outhgate. Foster, it was under
stood, had been a student of medicine at Port
land, but had not, for some cause, secured a
diploma there, and for this reason journeyed
to Philadelphia to enrol his name among the
eclectic disciples of Dr. Buchanan. Under
these circumstances, it was the most natural
thing in the world that he should gravitate
towards the house of the widow Faussett. But
he had not been long domiciled in the house be
fore he betrayed a weakness for his landlady,
and the weakness was fully reciprocated. In
deed, it is said by those who were familiar with
the twain at the time that the regard of the
attractive widow for her dashing boarder bor
dered on infatuation. A marriage, of course, was
the only possible result; but plain Mr.
Foster having been, iu due time, transformed
into the somewhat more Imposing "Dr." Foster,
through the agency of Dr. Buchanan's eclectic
machinery, he, at least, was not disposed to bide
his time. Nor was tbe widow Faussett less Im
patient, albeit she was a member of the Roman
Catholic communion, and the season was the
-season of Lent, while her betrothed did not
affiliate with any Church in 'general, and did not
affiliate with tbe Catholic Church in particular.
So the enamored twain were made one on the
5th of Mareh last, in the very heart of Lent,
which was a little irregular, to say the least.
The ceremony was performed by the lie v.
Thomas Davies, rector of St. Peter's Protestant
Episcopal Church, at the corner of Third and
Pine streets. The marriage was a secret one.
and the Rev. Mr. Davies was strictly enjoined
to keep it such until the Lenten season had
passed. The programme entertained was to
have the whole thing done over again at that
time, with some what of eclat, a grand reception
and sumptuous repast, and the like.
Although we have received no tidings of this
second ceremony, with its contemplated accom
paniments of a pleasurable character, we are
bound to believe, from the representations of
Mrs. Foster, that the honeymoon was an enjoya
ble one, and her second experience of married
lite altogether without a flaw for a considerable
time. She has spoken highly of her husband as
a thorough gentleman, and a kind, considerate,
and affectionate com oanlon in all the relations
of married life. Perhaps the only drawback to
absolute happiness was an occasional run down
to Portland, to "see his mother," made by the
Doctor. This "mother" was represented by him
to be an amiable and worthy lady, in affluent
circumstances, and a creat admirer at a dis
tance of her new daughter-in-law. Mrs. Fos
ter had not enjoyed the pleasure as yet of
meetinff the worthy Mrs. Southgate. But she
had written to her husband's "mother several
times, and. although receiving no direct reply,
over her own signature, had been
favored with verbal messages of aifectionate
resrard. on each occasion of the Doctor's return
from his periodical visits to Portland, and on
one occasion witn a nanasome silver tea-sei vice,
valued at $500, which the Doctor presented to
his wife as "a bridal gilt from his mother.'
Time passed pleasantly; the Doctor not being
encumbered with any professional duties, as he
was always "flush, although he never ac
counted in a satisfactory manner for the source
and extent of his income. Finally, about the
1st of June, the Doctor left the city with a large
sum of money in his possession, ana a nana
some gold watch in his fob. His destination
was Yonkers. near New York: his object, the
purchase there of a residence for himself and
wife. At Yonkers he made his appearance, as
was stated In Wednesday s ielkgr.vph, on tne
7th Inst., and took board with a Mrs. Manny,
paying for a week in advance, and displaying a
ponderous roll of notes in so doing. A day was
passod in inspecting various properties
on the banks of too Hudson, at tne
close of which the Doctor diverted
himself by taking a sail on the river, in com
rmny with a son of his new landlady. Oa the
$Kh, tbe boating excursion was repeated, this
time alone, and with an outfit of fishing tackle.
And that was tbe last seen of Dr. Foster by Mrs,
Manny.
On Friday, the 10th instant, a flagman of the
Hudson River Railroad, found the boat In which
Dr. Foster had left Yonkers, near Dudley's
Grove, tied last to the dock or post, and in the
boat were found a knife and fishing line. It is
also said that the Doctor's hat was found in the
boat, but this circumstance lacks confirmation,
Ten days or more were suffered to elapse
before Mrs. Manny took the trouble to apprise
the poUee of Dr. 1 oster s mysterious disappear-
anoe. Then his carpet-bag was looked into,
and in it were found a deed for some property
in Maine, a diploma bearing his name and tbe
signatures of Dr. Buchanan's eclectic faculty, as
well as the address of No. ii'Si Pine street, Phila
delphia. Here was a clue to the missing man's
antecedents, at least. It was followed up, and
on Monday Mrs. Foster received a telegram
summoning her to the scene, which she reached
on the evening oi mat aay, somewnat ais-
t.rac.tfld.
The whole affair at this stage smacked of
mystery, and bore a semblance of foul play,
The notice looked into the matter energetically,
and ascertained that the Doctor had been seen
la company with two well-dressed men, and had
been noticed to refresh himself with soda-water
only that and nothing stronger. With that
remarkable decree of intuition possessed by
policemen alone, the conclusion was reached at
a jump that Dr. Foster had fallen among thieves,
that the two well-dressed gentlemen had de-
tinoiled him of watch and money, foully mur
dered him. and hid his body iu the woods. So
the police turned their attention to the woods,
Meanwhile. Mrs. Foster, in a frame of mind
bordering on distraction, telegraphed to Port
land. Boston, and other places where her hus
band had represented his relatives as liviu
inquiring if anything had been seen or heard of
him of late. The despatch 6eut to tha Doctor's
"mother" at Portland was forwarded on Tuesday
morning, and no response was received until
late on Tuesday night, and when it did come,
.i.tin,. tYiat tha Dttadlntr mn 'rnirt nnl. I,iun

although Mrs. Southgate was not to be heard

requested to divulge what she knew, she was

not aiiogeiucr ouuv iouu ui mo um wi c.iok-
ence, and within a day or two a letter was re
ceived at the residence of Mrs. Foster, in this
city, purporting to come from her, and making
anxious inquiries as to how her sou was getting
MlOl.g!
Ml, Fwsttr, Lowcer. did fcv, tarry at
Yonkers until tie answer to her telegram came
from Portland. When the Doctor ttrt put in an
appearance at that place he was heard to remark
mat the only person be Knew in maivuiage
was a Swedenborgian clergyman, whose ac
qralntance he had formed in the army, where
the latter was chaplain and he himself assistant
surgeon. This gentleman was Informed of the
circumstance alter the missing man had left,
bnt he failed to recollect having met Foster in
the army, and not until he was sought out by
Mrs. f osier and reminded or certain circum
stances In connection with his quondam associ
ate did he succeed in calling him to mind. Then
Mrs. Foster was struck dumb. After listening
to her candid story, the clergyman felt it to be
his duty to inform her that, while stationed as a
Methodist minister in Portland, a few years
ago, he became acquainted witn roster, w no
was tnen a medical student; tnat subsequently
the latter had seriously injured his reputation
by a supposed intimacy with a divorced matron
named Southgate, who kept a lodging-house for
young gentlemen, and in whose establishment
Foster dwelt nnd always appeared at home. The
relationship which was believed to exist between
Foster and this woman gave rise to a great deal
of scandal, and resulted finally In his departure
from the city. After listening to tnis painrui
story. Mrs. Foster 'eft Yonkers In great haste
lor rortland on I uesday, before an answer nad
been received to her telegram to Mrs. outn-
gate.
.subsequent to ner departure it was ascertained
by the police at Yonkers that before leaving
Mrs. Manny's boarding-house, on the 9th In
stant, the Doctor was laboring under consider
able excitement: that he had been very particu
lar in his inquiries about the Jersey shore oppo
site the town; that he was especially anxious to
learn how far inland the railroad was located,
and that be took with him on his departure a
small package containing a change of light
underclothing. The latest news from Yonkers
is to tbe effect that lie is still "missing," wnue
from Portland comes the significant despatch
that i oster s mysterious disappearance "is pro
bably a trick, as the man was there only six
months and was then considered an impostor."
And thus the story ends for the present. If
the policemen who are searching the woods
about Dudley s Grove for Dr. r oster s body
should happen to stumble upon it, this solution
of the mystery, albeit a painful one, would be
eminently satisfactory. But. as the matter
6tands, there can be but little doubt that t oster
is lust what the Portland rress regards mm.
'an impostor," and his pretended disappearance,
under circumstances leading to a suspicion of
loul play, a neat but transparent device lor
shaking off his recent associations preparatory
to anotner escapade.

McKeown's fingers got into Scowsr's mou.h, and
alterwards presented a sorry picture. A police
man then noticed McKeown lying on the pave
ment calling lor assistance, witn acower over
him plunging a knife into his body. He arrested
the manipulator of the weapon and locked him
up in the station. Keturnlng, McKeown was
taken to the Hospital, where it was discovered
that he had no less than ten wounds in his side
and head. One of the former, it is feared, will
prove fatal. Scower had a hearing before
Alderman Bonsall, who committed him to await
tbe result of the injuries.

ORDINATION.
An Ordlnntlen ef Priests nnd Deacon ef the
Protectant Episcopal Chorea Interesting
Hervlrea.
This morning at 11 o'clock ordination services
were held in Bt. Luke s Protestant Episcopal
Church, Thirteenth street, below Spruce. Candi
dates were received to tne omces oi both priest
nnd deacon. Those ndmitted to deacon's orders
were the graduates of the Divinity School, who
received their diplomas yesterday, and others.
At the hour appointed tbe Bishop ot the dio
cese, accompanied by the officiating clergymen,
tbe candidates, and the clergymen who were to
present them to the Bishop, passed into the
chancel from the roblng-room on the left. The
candidates took possession of the seats reserved
lor them in the middle aisles, tne clergymen
taking their respective places in and around the
chancel.
The services opened with tbe singing of one
of the selection of psalms. After this the
Kcv. E. W. Appleton delivered a discourse from
Matthew iv., 18 nnd 19: "And Jesus, walking
by tbe Sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon
called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a
net into tbe sea, for they were fishers. And he
said unto them, Follow me and I will make you
fishers of men."
Tbe following is an abstract of the sermon:
In these same words Matthew is called from
the receipt of custom to become an apostle and
an evangelist. The words "follow mo had their
lull meaning m the case oi these two usnermen.
In the majority of cases where Christ used these
words he meant "io worn in my vineyard,
or become an evangelist or teacher, it tne
words meant arything else it would not have
been necessary to sell all their possessions. The
words do not only mean that they were to bo
come disciples.
In our communion we send forth every year
but one evangelist for every one thousand com
municants. Does this not betoken a low state
of zeal among us ? It we were interested per
sonally in tbe command, we would note the
aptness of this command when it is given by the
.Master.
In the dispensation of the truth from tbe
pulpit by the fishers of men, there is a certain
clearness, an exactness, an earnestness, and
skill necessary to the workman. Our try is, who
is sufficient lor these things t i he messed
supper of the Lord itself Is only to be adminis
Istered by certain nanus wnicn must do well
Qualified for the work.
one ot tne quauncations necessary lor tne
skilful fisherman is patience. He must stay at
his post whether successful or not, with the same
equanimity and cneeriainess. lie must De
instant in season and out of season. The sue
cee sful fisherman has waited and watched, and
waited again, looking for something to reward
his waiting, but has been over and over again
disappointed.
Another requisite s hopefulness. The fisher
is cheerful in bis waiting because he knows by
experience that success will in the end crown
bis efforts. We look at ourselves and our abili
ties in place of the efforts of God's spirit In us,
and when the harvest time comes we are aisap
pointed. What else could be expected if we
expect great things we must trust in God only;
we must ask for great things, and both watch
and pray.
One more necessary attriunte to success is
labor. We are covered with the dust of labor
and also of sorrow. We have to suffer by labor,
but we must ever suffer fer the sake of our God.
We ever and anon have difficult duties to per
form which are set with thorns to tear our
flesh, but we must not hesitate. We must be
ready to suffer anything m the performance of
our labor for the sake of Him who suffered
for us.
We are to follow Christ In all the main fea
tures of his life, such as prayerfulness, watch
fulness, and all the other great virtues by
which he was distinguished. By his blessiDg
we shall indeed be able to follow him in all
those great virtues.
My dear brethren, you who are to-day to take
upon you the solemn vows that we have taken,
1 pray you take these few words of instruction
to heart. iy tne unanimous judgment ot ail
who are now present, who have experienced the
difficulty of the profession, there has never been
a time when tbe entrance to this glorious minis
try was more beset with difficulties; never was
there a time when greater prayerfulness, greater
wntcbf ulness was required. . The enemies are
many against you, the eyes of the world are
upon you. May you never falter in your work,
and may uod himseit add nis messing.
ihe sermon was ioiiowed uy tne recitation ot
the litany, previous to which the candidates had
been presented at the church rail, the presenta
tion being made by the several clergymen who
bad been appointed for that purpose. The
litany was followed by the singing of a hymn,
alter which the ante communion service was
read.
The ordination proper then followed, the
Bishop laying his hands upon the head of each
candidate. Those who were admitted to dea
con's orders were ordained first, after which the
same rite was administered to tne candidate
who was admitted to the priesthood.
'ine uisnops anu ine ciergy present iaia tneir
hands upon the head of the candidate to the priest
hood, the Bishop pronouncing the following'
charge: "Take thou authority to execute the oitice
of priest in the Church of God, now committed to
tbee by the Imposition of oar hands. And be tliou a
faithful dispenser of the Word of God, and of ills
holy sacraments, in tne name or tue r atuer, and or
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."
A Bible was then delivered by the Bishop in the
hand of the candidate, with the following charge :
"Take tbou authority to preach the Word or God
and to minister the Holy Sacraments in the congre
gation where thou shalt be lawfully appoiuted there
unto." A Testament was delivered to the deacons at the
time of their ordination, with the following com
mand : '"Take thou authority to read the Gospel In
the Church of God and to preach the same if tliou
be thereto licensed by the Bishop himself."
After the ordination the communion service was
read, the newly-made priest and deacons remaining
at the chancel rail until alter they had partaken or
tbe sacrament.
The following Is the list of the candidates :
To Priest's Orders Kev. George II. KlrMand.
To Deacon's Orders James Catrd, William F.
Floyd, G. Livingston Klshop, Algernon Mortou,
Aaron Bernsttue, Philip P. Reese.

tbe execution of Edward Darnell, colored, nineteen
years old, convicted at the last term of the court for
the murder of John llogan, -a peddler, of Philadel
phia, on the 19th or Marcn last, (several petitions
were sent to Governor Sanlsbury, sighed by promi
nent citizens of Dover, asking a reprieve or respite,
but ther failed, the Governor refusing to Interfere.
On Wednesday night Sheriff Wilds quietly went
into tne prisoner s room and round mm loose, ne
having burned out the bolt which held his chains to
the floor. Be was digging with the bolt Into the
wall, and had made a hole almost large enough to
get his body through. A friend of the prisoner's
named Anderson had made an equally large hole on
the outside of the building. A few minutes longer
and he would have been a free man. Darnell was
then heavily ironed and put la a more secure cell.
Tbe jail Is an old dilapidated structure, and an adept
could pick ont with a penknife.
Rev. Dr. llosklns, an Kplscopal minister, was with
him all the morning, ana administered the commu

dently 'of unsound mind, and was enticed and
threatened by Loper, who received all the money

Darnell savs Loper threatened to kPl him if he
refused to help him. ' About 10 o'clock Dr. llosklns
conversed with Darnell in hia cell, and asked that
God might care for him.
In company with the SherlfTa Deputy, Dr. llos
klns, the prisoner went on the acaii'old, where Dr.
llosklns read the Episcopal service and offered up a
prayer. Darnell was then asked if he had anything
to say, and in a clear voice said :

"Gentlemen It is hard to die. I did not do it.

COI'jlItUSS.
Honse.
Continued from the Second Edition.
Mr. Farusworth addressed the Honse in support of the
amendment reported by him from the Reconstruction
Committee, declaring that nothing in this sot ooutained
shall be construed to deprive tbe people of Georgia of
tbe right to elect members of tbe Ueneral Assembly of
ssid State in the year 1470, as provided in tbe clonstitu
tion of said State. He went over the various salient
points in tbe history of the reconstruction of Georgia,
contending generally that when tbe affairs of that State
were turned over to tne civil authorities. Whose qualifica
tions were decided by the State Constitution, not by the
KeconHtruction laws, and when tbe authorities and the
legislature set to work, the term of their ottioes then
began.
The obiect of tbe substitute reported by Mr. Bntlor be
declared to be to extend the tortn of tbe Legislature to
1x72, and of the Governor to 1874, thus giving that man
(Bullock) lour years more lf oppression and plunder
of the suffering people of Georgia. He stated that tbe
members of tbe Legislature had been paid ten dollars a
day from the day of its organization in IWd to the present
time. He annoalod to tbe House to admit tbe Suite to
representation, and let tbe question be decided nnder the
jonstitution of ine mate, on tne principle mat tne ouite
would be only organized nnder this bill. Bullock could
turn ont all the judsea and appoint creatures of bis own
in their stead. There were even men in this hall Bow who
sat in the last Congress at members from Georgia, but
who expected when this bill was passed to eome back,
present their credentials again, and draw their pay, claim
ing that the last Congress oid not count, as their admis
sion was a mistake.
Mr. Ahiwea remarked that that was not the nosition
these persons assumed, but lather that they had been
elected lor botn uongretsea.
- Mr. Parnsworth concluded bis argument brsnbmitttng
ruth RAimbliniLe members tiULt under such a nolicv as
this bill proposed, the Kepublicsn party would be de
feated and was being dates tod in the South. He believed
that they bad already gone too far In that policy.
Mr. tfingbam addressed tbe House on tne sau
me side of
the ouestiun. He declared that the attempt to
give a two years further term of the office of
Governor Builock and the Legislature, violated
the pledged faith of Congress, violated the
statutes oi Consresa. twice repeated : violated the (Jon-
stitulion of the United States, and the Constitution of
Georgia ; and violated the declared creed of the Republi
cs n itart v. S
Mr. Garfiebl followed in support of the Farnaworth
amendment, contending that the only reasons put forward
on the other side were psrly rcasens, and he put it to bis
own side of the House, whether if they believed tnat tbe
nsxt fall election would result in a Republican victory,
they would vote for postponing the election two years.
Mr. Cox referred to tbe admissions of Messrs. Bingham
stir) Car field that the Question resolved itself into a radi
cal party measure to aave the party down South. His
friend (Mr. Bingham) had boasted that tbe Republican
party was that which nnder God had brought about the
reformation of the Confederate States, lis himself did
not believe that Providenoe had very much to do with the
-business of reconstruction.
tie knew that tbe centlemsn from Massachusetts (Mr.
Rutler) and others had had something to do with it: but if
Dante bad located tbe Interne in tbe right place, the lorn
in vmi, be believed "under t,ou ' this legislation smacked
very much of inspiration from below. "Under God' this
lorce baa been active, these irregularities practised, these
desradinar nersonalities of Mullock A Uo. suneren, to tin
disgust and disgrace ol humanity. Chaos had come, and
Congress tinkered, hammered, and coddled away in a
manner utterly subversive of local anrvitate tioveri
ments, and to the eternal dishonor of statesmanship. He
would vote for the least objectionable of all this batch of
pestiferous bills snd substitutes.
It he were a Georgian he would rather welcome with
anv sort of hand, to any sort of grave, or to any other hos
pitably, all negro rule or military rule, rather thao this
unconstitutional, mogieai, temporary, ana most contemp
tible will of tbe American Congross.
Mr. Beck reviewed tbe history of the legislation in re-
ffairl v.n fjeoruia. tka r.haruntAr and conduct of liOV.
Bollock, and the corruftt means he had resorted to in
order to retain bis position, and advocated the adoption
of the amendment reported by Mr. Farnaworth, being
what is known as the iiingbam amendment, wnicn nau
received such a strong vote on tne Republican side when
the phi was last ueiore toe House.
Mr. Peirce supported fe substitute reported by Mr.
Butler, and arsuod that the question should be decided
without reference to the character or conduct of
Governor Bullock, that being a question not before tbe
Houae fur action. He oon tended that theie wss no neces
sity for Bi ngbam thea mend ineiit.becauns that was a matt er
depending on the coustruc tion to be given to the consti
tution oH.eorgia, . , .
At 8 o'clock the previous question was seconded, anl
the niain question ordered, . . . .
Air. Butler, of Maasacbaett, basing sn boir to etnas
the debate, yielded for ten miuutes to Mr. Dawss, of Mi
s.chusetu, who ssid that wusn tne war was over, aud
when lbe problem had to be met ss to what should be
done with those lately rebellious bUtes, tbe ouly two
questions to be Answered wore, tirst, is the (institution

'MrI o(aii having ten minutes allowed him, contended
that if Georgia was en! iued to admitsioD, as all the bills
and amendment aoiuitted, she waa entitled to it on an
equal looting with all the other States: and that, tbere
fi ie, there vias no right to impose conditions, lie soli
