On Wednesday Uinta log the testimony In the case began to be liken, and did not close until at noon on Friday. The itwastiga tion was a close one..and required a greet deal of pa tience on the part of those conducting 4t. After the testimony was all taken, the case was submitted with out argument. 4 The judge charged the jury in an ad; dress of about an hour's length, after which they retired to their room. and in about one houitand a belt.finturined a verdict of "not guilty."

Enrroit Anouis: , Lake Superior upon. whose t placid surface we have just entered. is, as its name received from the French distcov erers indicates, the ',uppetionost7 of the W. Lakes, - of North Arnett:xi, and: is the largest body of .fresh water on this globe.' Its length of coast is about ;1500 miles and its mean' depth 1000 feet. It contains 32400 square miles, being just about the size of the great State , of Maine. The " temperature' of this Lake .seldoni.rises above 40.'-degrees render ing it impossible for persons to survive long in its Waters. It is very clear so that a dime , may be seen at the depth'of 30 or even 40 feet From its great depth it is less easily disturb ed than the other Lakes, which renders tiny= el on it always- welcome .to exctirtionists.— ' During the week that we were on it, its bo som was scarcely, ruffled and often presented in tbe sunlight at a little distance the appear ance- of a sea of glass, sparkling with gems The mirage on this lake was , at times very fine a shore line sometimes repeating itself a second and in one er two instances a third time. The first mention in history of this body of water is made by two Jesuit missionaries:who in 1641 leftthetr mission in Georgian bay and passed up in a birch canoe to St. Mary where they found a village of 20001[Thiptiewa Indi ans and learned from them of the lake beyond . . which they galled • (big lake). and which stretched toward the west to the country of their dreaded enemies - the Biota and to the great prairies where rciamed herds of: buffalo and deer. ' Misnatd in 1660' and Allowey in 1666 passed4round the Southern shore as fa., as Fond du Lac, where from the. Sioux he learned of the' great river Missipi (Mississippi.) • Haying takei. on board at Detroit the In dian agent who was paying his annual visit to the Chippewa Indians at 'different points on the lake,- we ran - across Kunumaw bay to L.'s Anse an• old. Indian settlement and mis sion. The water in the bay being to shallow for. our boat to approach the settlement, we anchored about a half mile frail Shore and proceeded to land our passengers and goods for the agency in'small boats. Several head of cattle and hories,were thrown over-hoard and towed ashore much to the amusement of the passengeri and to the consentration of the dumb animals as they were shoved overboard. A line was attached to the head, and it took three or four men good rowing to tow some of them shoreward. They did not seem se riously effected by their cold bath and effort ht swimming for as soon as they were on shore they fell at once to graizing. I was much interested in the history . of the 1 Indian interpreter whom we took on at the Sault. He is a half breed Chippewa Whose father by the name of Ashumnwas one of the originators of the American Fur Co„ Who in that early day 'harried a daughter of the chief of that tribe so that i this gentleman, for he is an intelligent one, i§ a full cousin of the cele brated.chief Hole-in-t4e-day and is also full cousin of Hon. Geo. Ashumn of Mass.; who was President of the. Chicago convention. that nominated Lincoln. He speaks good English has been Post-master at the Sault of St Merles and has traveled miich as interpreter Or the Government and has frequently visited W ash ington city. He understands.the Indian characters well, but is not hopeibt - of the effort made to' civi lize them.. He quoted as his opiniong that of a Catholic priest who had spent nearly all his life with them, that the best thing that csuld be done with the Indians is to giye him plen ty to cat and and good advice and let him run. The Chippewa's are an interesting tribe of Indians numbering somewhere it is supposed about 10,000. Some'account of them and ob servations of their habits I will -reserve for my next, which will date from La Pointe. T. TEM PERANCE CONVENTION. ED11 : 011 Artars4 .

Prodigious !! • l Then this infidel editor discards the Bi ble, and its history of Creation, and stigmati zes me with blasphemy for writing- over the signature of a "Benefactor." Thou hypocrite. Truly how weak a man becomes when aban- doneti of God. But let us inquire whether the Mosaic history of Creation is consistent -with itself -and with science. There are two things -re quired In a divine 'l.eyelation ; first, that Its moral.and religious teachings should beuse ful to mankind, commepding themselves to the conscience, and, scroindly, that the ,refer ence to natural facts should be in'aceordance with the book of ruituf intelligently under-- stood. If the Bible, as God's word, contrtalicts his works, it refutes itself. The heathen, as in India,will be converted from their relig ion by receiving our science, but the Bible will never be fcirsaken on that ground, except by the ignorant and the editor of the "Local." Many Hindoos are now. infidels to th eir an cient writings, throughlesving science; end ,some people in this Atlietis - of Beaver county are Infidels to our sacred writino through the want of science. The general statement of the question respecting Geologiy. Is; that It proves the great age of this world, and hence some. have hastily, concluded - (the ,editor the, frad-ineluded) tbs the Mosaleaceount represents the earth to bq younger than it is; i whereas, there aretwo accounts--one in Gen.\ 1 : I—of the origin of the universe; which was "creation" 'in the strict sense of the word, and occurred in the "beginning," the other is the history of the "formation ' of this world and its inhabitants, in six days. This second account is independesit of and subsequent to the former. 'Chaos, in the second verse, does not describe the condition of the world imme diately after the original creation, but, allows for all geological processes to occur before chaos, which was the curtain of darkness fall ing on the first drama, and this curtain Is now withdrawn for the six days' work, which re lates to the surface of the earth and its present races and species of men, animals and plants. For "the earth - was without form," &c. We must first clearly understand what the Bible means, to what stages of the history of the earth its different statements refer, and when we tied that Geology refers to one period; and the six days' formation in Gen: tea later one, there will remain noexcuse for men assuming that the six days recorded by Mosesincluded the origin of these creatures whose remains arc dug up by geologists.• . Thos e who under stand this distinction will see that-it is wilful ness or folly to - contrast the ...Mosaic six days with the fossil records in the massive strata of, th.• earth, which is a book written in a former er and has no more conn'ettion with contra-' dieting Genesis than an account of England at the Roman conquest contradicts the state of England in the present day.
