' On Sunday afternoon last, CoronerTnojipiJOx held an Inquest upon the body of Miss Oatiia bisb Kocn, a young lady who had been a boarder for several weeks, at Parson's Hotel, In this borough. From Uic testimony before tho jury, it appeared that on tho evening previous to her death she purchased two ounces of arsenic at Dri Kaufman's Drug-store in this place, for tho purpose, as sho represented, ol poisoning rats. She' repaired to her room at an early hour on evening, and mast have swallowed the arsenic about 10 o'clock. It Is supposed she foot it in doses. A cup, containing a large portion of tho poison, was found at her bedside. About 4 o’clock on Sunday morning, she was heard by a boarder to moan, but it was after 7 o’clock'beforo any one went into her room. At ibis time one of Mr. Faeson’s family proceeded £o Hiss Keen’s room, and found her in great agony-from tho effects of fho poison. Physi cians woro Immediately sent for, and every ef fort was mado to save her, but to up avail—sho lingered. In great agony, fill about 2 o’clock In (bo-afternoon, when death put an end fo her] sufferings.- .The jury rendered a verdict in ac cordance with the above facts. ~ Tho. deceased was about 20 years of ago, mid a highly respectable, comely, and lino looking young lady. Sho was tho daughter of Mr. D. Kocn, who is manager at Mr. W»c.

Wehavo';hnd' too raucH clcricaf interference in the pnlitical ques tions of tlie.day oflate, and it is time this; im-. pertinent interference should' bo checked and rebuked. If minis ters of the gospel have be come tired of their holy calling-f-if those .who have been entrusted with the high and respon sible duty of preaching tho word of God, have become disgusted with their profession, let them abandon it. and then, if they please, but not till then, can, they attempt to instruct ibe people in their political duties. We ‘ respect and admire a sincere minister of the word of God-rwo respect an honest political 'man,.‘we care not what party he belongs to-rbut we nev er can have much confidence-in'him’Who at tempts to play preacher and politician both at ones:-' Tho Know-Nothings—of which order the Rev. Tippant is, it is said, the head and front in this'county—profess to be much alarmed because of Catholic priests interfering, in.our elections. We nevcr.in our life heard of a-Cath* olic priest attempting, to interfere in political matters, but yet the Know-Nothings • say the priests do interfere—Mr. Tiffant says so, and they all say so. . Mr. Tiffant condemns the priests; and nil the order sing out amen. But yet, in tho face of these professions—in the face of the assertion that the Know-Nothings arc opposed to making religion subservient to poli tics, we find ministers of the gospel, who, are members of tho order, schccming and plotting and conniving ,in politics, and attempting-to obtain office and emoluments, through the Know-Nothing organization ! Why is it. that professing ministers all over the country, are now suggested, for political positions? Is it because their superior qualifications were never known before, or have these ministers been “led into temptation,” by becoming members of a Know-Nothing order? "Why is it that ministers of the gospel are now serenaded the night following an election ?—and why is it that these ministers respond to the compliment in windy political speeches ? It is because they arc politicians, they want office, and think more about politics than they do about tho words of their Redeemer. Wo say we are opposed to political preachers; To use the words of Judge Pollock, wo say ”whcn priests (wb care not of what denomination) attempt to exercise a polit* cal influence, down with them.” - ‘ I IC7* Two important eases were derided in the lU.
