Hible-Making.
. The history of the Bible has repoatodly been
written, and an interesting history it is. For
It is carious to trace, the various books of
;Which it is composed, back to their ascertained
0” traditional source.. Mach learning is neces
sary to do this, and some learning is requisite
to understand it. A more popular and intelli
gible work would be one which should take,
up the Biblo from tho timo it was thrown be
fore tho world through tho invention of.print
,ing, down to tho present timo, when every
family has at least one copy of the Holy
’•Scriptures,
y~lts the middle ages, the Bible was multi
plied only by tho tedious -and laborious pro
.cess of transcription. The religions, in mo
nasteries, piously omployed thomselvos in
with great patience and much skill,
not only the Bible, but other good books—
iSoli as tho writings of tho oarly Fathers of tho
Church.' Sometimes, when it was difficult to
obtain new parohment, for this pnrposo, tho
hppyists would take, old manuscripts, oblite
rate the writing as far as they could, and make
tjjpsir own transcription upon tho -compara
tively clean surface. Thoso parchments, thus
ideated, are called palimpsests, dp some
occasions the obliterated matter wws more
Vsluablo than that whic,h, I r’|pJrtcod it.
pfe are acquainted with pn^A-Instance
•of this. In , tho Library of Trinity Oolloge,
’tiublin, there was a palimpsest of vellum, on
which was written, in Grcok, what appeared
fojbo a monkish' logond of the thirteenth cen
tury. Tho erudite and eccentric Dr. John
Bakkktt, college librarian, carefully examined
this manuscript, saw nearly effaced earlier
loiters upon the vellnm, and, after years of
persevering examination, discovered that the
•almost obliterated writing comprised a large
portion of the Gospel of St. Matthew, part
of" Isaiah, and some orations of Gbeooßy
'NazUnsen, all written in tho uncial Greek
totter, probably as early as the second cen-
Inry. Ho transcribed ovory letter, and tho
discovered treasure was published in quarto,
.{n lBol,at'tho oxponßo of tho University, a
copperplate of oaoh pago-being engraved,
containing a fac-nmilt of tho nncial Greek,
'With tho ordinary Greek version opposite,
and-Latin notes and references at foot.
:,-‘,The Psalter was tho earliest printed portion
oftlio Bible, in Hebrew, and appeared, in
'sihali iorifc, in 1477. Eleven years later, tbe
entire Hebrew Bible was first printed at Son-
From tbe Gerson edition, printed at
Brescia in 1494, Lotiies made his translation;
(jbnt the earliest volume prodneed by Gdtte.v-
BEaa’a typos, 1460-’56, was a Latin Bible.
'There is' a tradition', which we met only in an
pa French book, that whon this Bible,.in
"Which the initial letters were printed in bright
rod Ink, (to imitate the illuminated letters of
the manuscripts,) was offered for sale, at
.Jj’iiris, lbr a' sixth of tho usual selling price of
a written book, the copyists, not detecting
that it was mechanically executed, made a so
'Hocis complaint to tho magistracy that the
work must have been executed with diabolical
hid, And that the, vivid red of tho initial letters
jwag made by using Iranian blood. The book
vender, it is said, to avoid being biirnod as n
ootceror} had to conmumlcato the secret of
hhd nOwly discovered art of printing. The
seem very probable, but there
Oaftbeno doubt lhat Bible, transcriber} were 1
«•».
' In England, as early as 1290—nearly two
centuries before tlia invention of printing
there wo® an English versfon of tho Bible, and
portions had been translated into Saxon by
Aldheln, Eobbbt, Bede, and others, between
tho Bth and 10th centuries. WrOLirrE, Tyn
dale, Covebdalh, and others, made English
translations. At last, by direction of James
I, tbo present English Bible was executed, on
tbo basis of Bishop Faiikeh’s version, (called
the Bishop’s Bible), publishod in 1668. There
were 48 learned divines employed six years,
in making tho translation, authorized by King
James, which was published in 1611, by Ro
bert Barker. One of tho early reprints of
this is commonly called « The Breeches Bi
ble,” because in Genesis, chap, iii, v. 1, in
stead ol the words «They sewed flgleavos
together, and made themselves aprons,” tbo
compositor put “ made thomsclves breeches,”
There was another English Biblo in which the
seventh commandment, “ Thon shalt not com
mit adultery,” was carelessly rendered with
tho not accidentally omitted. I
In Great Britain and Ireland a singular mo
nopoly in Bibles is permitted. lYb liavo an
English Bible before us now, dated London,
1846, and « Printed by Geobue E. Evhe and
William Spotteswoode, Printers to tho
Qneon’s most Excellent Majesty.” In Scot
land, the printer would bo Sir. D. Blaik ; in
Ireland George Gbiehson. Those persons
respectively hold tho Patoutof Qaoen’s Prin
ter, and, in at least ono caso, this patont has
been over one handrod years in tho same
family. In England, it yields a net annual
income of ?50,000, and in Scotland and Ireland
about half as much. Tboso patouts secure to
tho respective holders tho exclusive privilege
of printing tho Biblo, tho metrical version of
tho Psalms (by Tate and Buaiiy), and tho
Prayer Book of tho established Protestant
Episcopal Church. Should any other person
print theso Interdicted works, he would ho
subjected to a Stato prosecution. In England
llioro is a uniform duty of three cents per
pound npon paper of all qualities. But, with
tho nominal view of reducing tho coat of tho
word of God, all paper used for Bibles, Psal
tors, and Prayer Books, is duty ireo. This
monopoly ofßibie printing, commenced nearly
two centuries ago, was originally based on tho
necessity Ot having tho book accurately
printed, which, it was thought, irresponsible
privato parties might fail to effect. Tho Ro
man Catholic version, rendered from tho
Douay Bible, slightly differs (rom tho common
English translation, and, therefore, is not
subject to tlie restrictions of tho patents.
In theso United States, there is no mono
poly in Bibie-printing. Capital, enterprise,
and good business connection have built up,
hore in this Philadelphia of ours, ono of the
largest Biblo-producing establishments in the
world. Tho population of Great Britain and
Ireland is much on a level with that of the
United States, hut for every two Bibles used
in tho'< old country,” five are sold in this.
Jester Hakdino & Son are groat Bible
makers. The energy, tact, and enterprise
of the senior partnor have made the business.
He entered into it, many years ago, on a very
moderate scale, and now the business takes
rank among the leading establishments of tho
city. Thoy employ throe hundred persons
every week, at tho corner of Third and Carter
streets, (office of our friendly compottio(gtho
Inquirer,) and in addition to this large build
iag, ooenpy tho throe noxt-to-heavon floors
oi-the building in which the post oflico is lo
cated. This is independent of tho fact that,
to supply his own consumption alono, Jester
Hakdinq has a’paper-mill,' in New Jorsoy, at
full work all tho year round.
Hakdino’s Bililos have the text revised and
corrected from tho original edition of 1611,
and tho American Bible Society’s Standard of
1816. There are in all, we boliove, over sixty
different Bibles issued by this firm. Those
differences are madn by the various descrip
tions of binding-,,from “ Shoop ” to “ Tnr
key super extra hovelled boards, full gilt
sideß and clasps, and oil colored engravings
from original designs by Deveiieux.” Of tho
quarto Bibles there are over a dozon varieties,
tanging (wholesale prices) from less than one
dollar to twenty-five, There is a little 32m0
edition, with metrical version of the Psalms,
gilt edges, and illustrated, from forty cents to
ono dollar—over 1,100 pages of small hut
clear'type. The immense sales, which are
heaviest in the Spring and Fall, swell small
profits into a good aggregate of remuneration.
The snprintendent of Messrs. Hardings’
establishment, Mr. Andrew J. Holman, a
gentleman of information and intellect, lately
showed ns the whole machinery of this im
mense Blble-making. On one story of their
building wood-engraving is carried on. Next,
is a foundry for stereotyping the plates.
Then. we mounted to composing rooms
whore the type is set up and the stereotypes
“picked out ” and corrected. Then, a de
partment where half a dozen steam presses
are perpetually printing off the plates. Next,
the bindery-room, in which the sheets were
subjected to hydraulic pressure, folded, ar
ranged according to their respective “ signa
tures,” sewed, out, gilt, hound, lettered, and
clasped. After that, to the counting-house
(directly over the Inquirer office) whore sam
ples are kept, and orders for shipment execu
ted. Lastly, underneath the newspaper of
flco, in fact under the pavement of Carter
street, the steam engine of 20-borso power,
which sets all the machinery at work, and can
be managed by a child.
The materials used up in this establishment
every yoar are most valuable. The paper
alone, taking tbo consumption at 000 tons,
worth s'26o,a ton; costs $1,500,00*. 'There is
a barrel of the finest flour used every week to
make paste, with glue in proportion; about
600,000 leaves of gold; 60 tons of pasteboard
for book-covers, and so in proportion. The
mere debris or ’ sweepings of the gold leaf,
brushed off by the' binders, whon gilding tho
edges and covers of the Bibles, are sold for
$2,000 a year, and it has been estimated that
if the more floor of the binding-room were to
be burned, there would be a residuum of $6OO
from it, so saturated with gold dust lias'it he
come. All tho year rOnnd, four gilders aro
at work. The folding and sewing is entirely
done by females. The bOok-clasps are chiefly
manufactured in Connecticut. The gold rims
are imported from Franoo. Tho itilqrior, or,
wo should say, tho cheaper leather for, binding
is obtainod from New York. Tho fine quali
ties (Turkey or goat morocco)-' are made in
Philadelphia, which has long been famous for
the-manufacture of firacy leathers.
This sketch, rapid as it is,'may convey some
idea of.Rible-making in, Philadelphia, a de
partment of. production of which Jesper
Harding & Son is undeniably,thp head. We
assure our readers that we have been careful to
avoid exaggeration, and have plainly stated
the case as we found it.

Bold Robbery. —Somo time on Tnesday
night last the store of John P. Barron, In Eighthjj&jiMt.
above Walont, was entered and robbed of -gooda to'me
araonot of about $4OO. Mr, Barron has been absent'
from home for several days, and two susplclous'-looking
negroes who have been seewlurktng'in that neighbor
hood have several times called at the atore’ on the plea
of making purchases, and while in the* store on Taes*
day afternoon -succeed'd in stealing the key. The two
young ladles who bad been left in charge of theetore
did not miss tbe»keyuntil the hdUr for cldslog the
aters, about ten o’clock in the evening. They fastened
the door as well as they possibly could, and notified the
policeman on tbeboat of the loss of the key. Notwith
standing the precaution, however, the store was enter*
ed and robbed daring the night while the gaslight-was
burning. - • • ’ f
Needs Repairing.— The railway bolpnging
to the city is tq a very had condition. -As the cdty runs
up the piaeecger railways whenever they bare an op*
portunlty of doing so, it would be weU for them;to keep
their own roads in order. The curve at Third and Dock'
streets is In a very bad condition. The poor* mulct,'
could they bat speak, would “ a tale unfold” of the
lh » .««« °t>,
cars stuck at this point, which- had the effect of xongre
gating about thirty city passenger cars behind! them*
and completely blocking up that boiy and crowded tho-'
roughfare. It wai & source of considerable annoyance
to the pedestrians who were in that vioinity at the
time. , J
Wiwa heavy freight caw rno off,the tfmck, os they
d»a yesterday, it interferes very seriously with the ar
rangements of the city passeoger railway ears that
make nee of the same track. .We hope the city will
attend to this matter promptly, and plaoe the road in a
propereoodltlon, so as to prevent a recurrence of the
nusbftp'frblch occurred yesterday.
The Eolectio Medical College of Phila-
DSLFJIU —This Institution has now a lvgs.cUesof
students In attendance. There are six lectures de
livered during the da/, and surgical and anatomical de
monstrations in the ovening The spring session has
been abandoned,' and the winter session very much
lengthened, so that ihe course of instruction In this in
stitution, in every department of medicine and aurgory,
Is now complete. The clinical courses are full, ana
give the students most ample opportunity to witness
the effects of the eleotic treatment upcn nearly every
variety of disease. The lectures on theory and prac
tice are being illustrated by over one huudrod splendid
pathological oil paintings, painted especially for the
lectures. . *
Another New Firk Engine.— Tho Vigi
lant Engine Company, located in the Sixth ward, hare
contracted with I. P, Mortis & Co., of Kensiogton. f> r
a steam fire engine, of first-class power, to weigh
about 6,000 pounds, which is expected to be completed
by the latter part of February. It will be drawn by
two hones. At present there is but one steam engine
located in this ward, and that at the extreme sooth
western portion of It, rendering It necessary to have
one in close proximity to the city front, where much
valuable p-oporty is stored. When the Vigilant is com
pleted, this company will form a connecting link with
the Northern Liberty Bone on the north, and the Hope
and Hibernia on the south.
Houses Found Open.— Several houses were
found open on Wednesday night by the officers of the
Second district, who notified the proprietors of the
fact. The doors and windows of a grocery store at
Swanson street and Mead alley were opened by means
of a nipper and robbed of three kits of mackerel. Also,
a house in Fifth street, below South, and a house at
No. 610 south Fourth street. Nothing was stolen,
however, as the thieves were fearful of being detected
by the vigilant policemen of that dintrict. The occu
pants of the house No. 610 south Fourth a k reet gave
the alarm to the policemen aod whou the latter entered
the house the rogues escaped through the back way
without having had time to secure any booty.
Meeting op Butchers.— A meetiag of the
butchers of our city was held on Wednesday evening
at Douglass’ Hotel, in Sixth street, to take some action
to prevent, if possible, the passage in the Select Oenn
cil of the ordinance establishing curbstone markets in
certain designated localities Mr. Georgs J Runner
presided. It appeared to be the general feeling of the
meeting that such an ordinance would be highly inju
rious to botchers and farmers, and a motion was adopt
ed to appoint a committee to wait npon Councils aud
protest against the ordinance. The meeting adjourned
to meet at the call of the ofiioers.
Return op Mr. William J. Phillips The
superintendent of the municipal telegraph, Mr. William
3. Phillips, who has been absent from the city for some
time past, on a visit to (Juba for Ms health, returned
yesterday morning to tho Central Station, in excellent
health and spirits Mr. P. for years has been ardently
devoted to the business of telegraphing, and no man iu
the Union h#B a better practical knowledge of Its de
tails We are Indeed gratified to chronicle his return
to a sphere of aotive usefulness.
The Tobacco Warehouse. — This building
was leased on Wednesday evening for the sum of $6,700
per annum. The lease was made At public vendue to
the Philadelphia Warehousing Company. This is ft
very good operation for the city, as It relieves it of an
expense of $1,400 and brings in a revenue of $0,700.
The roln'urara price fixed by Councils vr*s $5,000 per
annum, wrich the warehousing company offered. Atter
finding, however, that it had been decided by Councils
not to lease It to them directly, bot to the highest bid
der, they changed their views, and gave the above
named sum for it.
Old Offenders Yesterday morning Al
dermtu Freemau sent two notorious pickpockets,
named Robert Whitehead aud Frank Dillon, to prison.
The pair were taken into custody on Wednesday, in
Second street, near Market, by some of the Fifth-ward
officers, under the instructions of Lieut. Gouidy. The
prisoners belong to that class of thieves who make'it
their business to be on hand on all market days, and
pick the pockets of those upon whom any pecuniary
Loss falls heavily.
Jewelry Store Robbed.— Early yesterday
morning, the jewelry store of Mr. Lephart, in Poplar
street, was broken into and robbed of a number of
watches, together with a considarable quantity of
jewelry, to the amount of $l6O. Tho door was found
open, and the key was staking in the lock upon the in
side. There were no marks upon the key of nippers
haring been used upon It It is mysterious how admit
tance to the store was gained, and it is equally strange
that but aeinall portion of tho stock was stolsn.
Slight Fire.—About four o’clock, yester
day morning, Ofllosr McKinney, of the Fifth district,
noticed a fire in tbe stable of Mr. Mco»llau, iu George
Btroet, above Twentieth. He proceeded to the spot, and
succeeded in extinguishing tho flames before any
amount of damage was done.
The Chess Contest. —Tho return game of
the chess contest, now going on between Philadelphia
and New York, will be played to-morrow evening,
Philadelphia having the first more. The Philadelphia
players will occupy their old quarters, Third below
Chestnut, and the moves will be transmitted from city
to city over the American Telegraph Company’s wires,
under the management of Mr. Bullock.
False Charge.— A few days ago we' stated
that admirably executed counterfeit gold dollars had
been found up >n the persons of two men who were ar
rested for attempting to pass them. It has since been
discovered that tbe coins were really genuine ! It
seems strange that the genuineness of the coin was not
ascertained at the time the individuals had their bear
ing, by submitting it to some one who was really capa
ble of judging between tbe spurious and the genuine.
Arrests for Larceny.—Joseph Smith was
arrested yesterday morning on the charge of having
stolen $46 from Jacob Graham, who resides at Sixteenth
and Pitzwater streets. Alderman Femington sent him
below to await bis trial. A colored m»n who gave the
name of William Kane was arrested yesterday morning
while endeavoring to sell a quantity of clothes he had
stolen from a clothes-line on Wednesday night.
Assault and Battery and Attempted
Robbery.— A man named John palmer bad a hearing
before Alderman Butler, yesterday morning, on the
charge of assaulting and attempting to rob a young
man- The affair occurred on Washington avenue .'near
Coates street, in the Seventh district. Palmer saccerded’
in obtaining a sum of money from the pockets. of tbe
complainant. He was cqmmiUed in default of $5OO
bail. 1

Honor for a n&n-auit, which, however, is out of the
question in a criminal procedure. I rise, not for the
purpose of inviting a speech from my learned friend,
nor with a view to create improper capital, but with a
view to ask him, categorically, whether, upon his
rffi dal responsibility, he designs pressing the cause to
Us termination. If he fliys that he does, we know
what our duty jg, and we are prepared to discharge it
Mr. Longhead. I am obliged to my levned friend
fpr the categorical way in which he has put his re
marks, as it saves roe tbe trouble of making a speech
I beg to reply most distinctly, in so many words, that I
intend to prets these charges home to the jury, and ask
a conviction npon the evidence which has been ad

OPENING OP F. O BREWSTER, ESQ , FOR DEFEN-
DANT ALLIBONE.
I trust I say it reverently—l know it is said truth-
Jully—when I declare heforo this court and jnry that I
thank God It is this day Thomas Allibone’sprivilege to
be beard.
Suffering as he aod his large family have for months
past beneath a load of calumny almost without a paral
lel ; compelled during tbat long and dreary period to be
silent beneath every falsehood, he, and they who fill his
heart of hearts, may well congratulate themselves, may
well thank Heaven and its immortal justice, that at
least they can meet the accusation, if it is not their
privilege to see their accuser.
It is hardly necessary, I am sure, to cadtion Intelli
gent men, as you are, against clamor You will not saf
fer yourselves to be led away from the performance of
your sacred duty by any considerations touching the
failure of this bonk. In tbe uncertain dispensations
of this world a man is a hero or martyr, as he may suc
ceed or fail. (9ne of the brightest pages of English
history informs us that her brave captain, disobeying
his superior's order, would have been hanged had he
failed iu his dariog at the yard-arm of his ship; he
succeeded andbeca ue an admiral and peer of the realm.
You will dismiss, then, all this picture so glowingly
painted to you of bankruptcy and suffering. No oue.
gentlemen, has suffered more grievously by that cala
mity than my client. No one would be more willing
than he to submit this case to the very stockholders ol
the bank, not one of whom, nor Any of its assignees,
nor any of the State’s commissioners has, commenced
this prosecution.
According to the Commonwealth’s story, this defen
dant. while defrauding the bank for months, if not
years, by a strange infatuation, suffered it to break with
nearly two thousand shares of its stock owned by him.
Ho scuttled a ship, they say. of which he was master
—of which Ue owned ouo-tenth—which was freighted
with the labors and earnings of a lire, with fortune and
with sacred honor: did all this, and staid on board while
the waves closed over him.
I may bo pardoned, I trust, a brief history of this
prosecution. It may serve to give you proper informa
tion, and to convey to your minds more olearly my ar
rangement of the Commonwealth’s case and my de
fence.
Mr. AUibone hal been laboring for tuanr years under
a disease which was finally brought to a crisis by tbe ex
citement and labors of the fall of 18>7, and compelled
his departure from the city,
His objections to this—arising from the enormous In
terests bn had at stake here—were all overruled, and,
finally, driven away by his physician, he lefta—left to
find a greater curse Invoked by his absence than loss of
health or life itself would have entailed upon him and
his family.
No sooner had be loft this city—not accompanied by
the whistle of the Oaraden cars, as was opened to you;
for it so happens that my client going by the way of Ta
couy, Mr. Loughead was only iu this case, as in all his
accusations, many miles from tbe fact—no sooner had
he ldt this city than the tongue of slander became
busy with his name. Her foul calumnies followed h<m
to his resting place in Europe, and leav ng there almost
at the Instant—contrary to the advice of family and
physician—he perilled lire by a journey of over 4,000
miles, in the most inclement season of the year, to meet
his acausers and their accusations.
Iu less thou three months from the day of his depar
ture be was again in this city. Hia first act up cm ar
ri ring in this country was to tender himself end his es
tate to the dheotors of thle bank.
With all the haste the formalities of the law would
permit, he conveyed bis entire estate in trust to secure
any claimß. Teal or imaginary, whloh could bo pre
sented; and to throw no embarrassment in the way cf
speedy investigation, he*also gave so avicable action,
and agreed to leave the whole question to arbitrators,
whose decision should be final.
If more oould .be done by a man who domed then,
as he protests now, that the bank is not bis creditor to
tbe amount of one dollar, but, on tbe contrary, is his
debtor to the amount of thousands, I am at a loss to un
derstand. it.
His position was, and is, that he had pledged for the
rescue of this institution—in which he was a share
holer, to the extent of nearly s2oo,ooo—bis own private
resources and means in every direction and to a large
amount; bat willing to leave no room for questions of
his strict integrity, (oh! «hat I oould lay bare to you
tbe honesty or bis heart.), he made tbe conveyance I
have referred to. It has 'stripped him, for the time, of
fttl; it has peured out at the feet of this bank, like
water, the earnings and labors of a life.- It was but
proper, however, Tt should be dene then, and it {slut
groper It should be mectioned sow —mentioned to hia
onor, for the offer was a nobte one—and she who has
been like “ the fruitful vine upon the wallof his house”

When ..the Commonwealth proves, that Mr Fell did
the same thlngTor Mr. Newhall, and that numbers
were also paid; I may wall be excused from offering
testimony on this point.
The Sixth is the last of this tissue of accusations.
It was, as opened,,a Joint robbery, by these defendants,
of the bank, by purloining a $lO,OOO cheek. Twice it
was savagely stated that at an unusual aud early hour
these defendants, went to that bank, ■ and stole that
piece of Its property. This precious item, first brought
to the Commonwealth’s attention daring our adjourn
ment of last week, was attempted to be shown by Mr.
Orne. It is not my province to repeat his evidence or
comment upon it; but here, as werywhere in'the
cause, the Commonwealth established oue Innocence.
We will show more, gentlemen. We will show it was
a meritorious act.- A respectable firm needed tbat
money.. .It was then a depositor. And,we did our
doty io giviig it a good cheek. To have done less
would have been eminently wrong. -
Mr. Newhall’s branch of this case will be opened to
you by my learned and able friend who particularly re
presents him. I have carefally abstained from'saying
a word which might be regarded oh inappropriate to my
case, bat .yon-will receive from Mr. Newhall and hia
counsel the fullest and most,complete explanations and
vindication of every chars*! 'Should this promise ba
fulfilled—should wo wipe off the only matter ajs'nst ns
; npon this record—then, gentlemen, we shall ssk you
1 with great confidence to give us a prompt and fall ac
quittal. Your vindication will atleaet be some repara
tion of the wrong that has been done us. Fright e\ea
and beating hearts—round now desolate fi*e ides—are
straining forward, anxious for the first intelligence of
tbat welcome news.
Do not withhold it, gentlemen, and when yon stand,
before the last High Court the jueiice you have shown
to others shall.trumpet-tongued,plead in turn for you.
Mr. Brewster’s speech was listened to with breathless
interest and attention, and was the subject oFgeneral
admiration for its good taste and quiet pubos. Daring
the delivery of certain passages in it,Mr. Allibone, as
well as ( there, was visibly affected.
Mr. Brewster was followed by Mr. Thayer, whoso
powerful opening for Mr. Newhall the pressure on onr
columns compels us reluctantly to omit The facte
which Mr. Thayer proposes to offer will (it sustained
oy the evidence) completely exculpate Me. Newhall.
GENERAL NEWS.
A case of dreadful DESTITUTION is men
tioned in tbe Cincinnati papers. A woman was
found stretohfd on dirty-straw in a stable, flapp
ing to bar bosom a child uppare&tly about two
months old, and vainly endeavoring to giro it sus
tenance but. Instead, it* drew nothing but blood
from her exhausted breasts. The woman was ap
parently not more than thirty-jive yearn old, al
though the mother of seven children, all of whom
were with her in tho miserable hovel where she
was found hbe had been well raised, and had
seen better days, much better—Bhe could not have
seen worse days—and, until a period of two years
after her marriage, bad known no want. But. her
husband yielded to an appetite for liquor, became
first a drunkard, then a sot, and finally abandoned
ANew- Religious Sect in NewHamf9iiire.
—Anew seotof Perfectionists has arisen in New
Hampshire* where they have held meetings at
Concord and Dover. They think of calling them
selves “Tbe Orthodox Catholic Church.” Alto
gether, they number about one hundred. They
believe in community of goods. Civil law they do
not regard. Thoir laws are Bible laws. They
hold that after one has once received the reviving
influence of the Holy Spirit, it is impossible for him,
not only to fall from grace, bat even to be tempt
ed. They believe in the speedy comingof the Sa
viour. The time is not yet revealed, hut soon will
