"The separation of the Presbyterian Church into the New and Old Schools, as they have heretofore been designated, occurred in this city on the 17th nt Muy, 1838. There had been some differences in the Church, which finally resulted In the passage cf a resolye by the General Assembly of 1837, "that the Synoda of Citicai Geneva, Genesee, and of the West. ern Reserve, are out of the ecclesiastical connection of the Presbyterian Church " This act excited pest feeling, and It bad grown deeper and at-ringer until the time of the mortrog of the General Assembly of 1838. That body met in the old Sev. entir Presbyterian Church building. which formerly stood in Rtinstead place, Fourth, above Chestnut, and, after an exciting canvass for Moderator and other officers, two sets were chosen, and those who acted with the New School left the build ing and proceeded to the First Presby. terian Church building (Rev. Albert Burnes') on Washington Square. Many of our citizens remember the deep Interest eaused by these everts, but many more have passed away. The old church build. tag, which was the Immediate theatre of them has p.ss•ed away too, but the vet creek Dr. Elliott, who wan the Modern tor of the General Assembly at the time of tie separation, still survives, as also does the old building of the First Presby terian Church. If the old Seventh Pr. byterisua Church bad been stunning, It would doubtless have been selected as the place of meeting for the first General Assembly of the reunited Church, but as It is the Assemblbra In Pittsburgh did a fit and appropriate thing in choosing the First Presbyterian chareli in Philadel phis as the place of meeting of the reunited Assembly, on the third Thurs day In 3lay, 1870. CI °LOUT A Geological Expedition with Proleasar Dana to Stony Creel awl the Thimble lolanda. (Corn.p.oeor. I . ll.W:rare, Ilosel.. Naw Hayss, Nov. (911, 1869 List Wednesday I accompanied Prof. Dana on a geological excursion to Stony creek and the Thimble Islands, and as fee points on the New England coast are more interesting to the geologist, I tiro. pose to give you some particulars in regard to it. The party was chiefly corn. pescd of Seniors from the Scientific and Academical departments of Yale, and with them were Profit. Stillman, Oilman, Johnson, Brewer, Eaton and Verrill. Two cars had been engaged on the Shore Line Railroad for our accommodation, and, as it was dealrable,te reach Stony Creek at the time of high tide. II A. 0., was the hour appointed for starting. The *tattier for once did not &sap. point us. The sky, though at first some what cloudy, soon cleared up and at the same time a strong breeze set to from the southeast and continued all atternoon and evenink very. favorable for salting. On the way we had our attention directed to the sandstone cliffs and great quanti ties of glacial degt neer Branford. A short ride brought us to the mouth of Stony Creek, which Is about eleven miles and shalt cast of New Haven. As soon as the train bad left, Professor Dana took us for some distance on both sde.s of the railroad to examine the ttaces of glaciers on the granite rocks. These rocks bad been worn smooth, in fact almost polished, and on the surface were distinctly to boseen scratches and furrows, all running In a direction nearly north and south. -These marks would; in all probability, have been destroyed long ago by the weather bad it not been that the rocks were, until recently. coserei with earth. Standing upon a little eminence With a most attentive audience around him, Prof. Dana proceeded to give the facts and theories in regard to the transporta tion of large masses of rock and unstra tided drill, which we had previously seen far from the formations to which they originally belonged. A little below the medium height, with rather sharply Ott features, a grey eye, keen, yet kindly. a smooth fax, hair somewhat long, and partly gray, plainly dressed, having on his heads brown felt hat with the brim turned up in front, a little nervous in his manner; yet one of the most active in the party, he seemed to be a perfect picture of the enthusiastic lover of nature and the perfect gentleman which real kind- r.c , P of heart and quick perception aliivii3s wt r: t!..n anti dark". as cant, oaer produce. :,'Quad.Ti e e r.trabiit = •-v.

An other fact conneCed with it in, that the loose goats taken au: of it are trap, and there is an trap foundation within several miles of the pine_. The trap war probably brought here by a glacier. Peening round the island we found lu the gueies corodik ruble tit-Amities of meg nee e iron, which adhered to a kr lie bade as iron Slings to a magnet. At the southern extremity of the Is land a large mass of ruck has Julien into the water, leaving a place that at a short distance off has the aptsro ranee of an imm'ense chair, and hence is called the '• Giant's Chair." A short distance from this spot, among some low bushes, we found another bed of oyster shells, undoubtedly mrie by the Indiana. Some of the professors with very littte trouble dog out a number of these shells, which were entirely differ. ant from the oysters now found shout the Connecticut coast, some of them being nine or ten inches long and closely resembling those now found in the St. Lawrence river. By this time nearly half of the after. noon had passed away, and none of the party having eaten' any dinner, we began to teal unite hungry, and therefore net sail for Money Island, where Prof. Dana had made an agreement with some oyster- men to furnish us with all the oysters, bread, butter and coffee we could store away. . . This island derives its name from one of the many traditions in regard to Cap'. Kldd'a treasures, which were supposed to have been hidden here. Capt. Kidd, a New York shipmaster, your readers will recollect, was given command of a vessel titled out by an English company against pirates, but afterwards turned pirate him self, and, having committed great depre dations on the sea, was said to have burled considerable tresituns in some un certain locally, and turneelhis ship. He was finally arrested In Boston, sent to England with other pirates, and then tried, condemned and executed in the year 1609. It Is not Improbable that more money has been expended in search ing for Kidd's treasure than he ever poa sessed. When the boats touched land at Money Island, there was a fearful onset on the oysterman's house and provisions. In a few minutes we had completely ex. hausted bin store of eatables, bu: a fresh supply soon arrived and for an hour science was left In the cold while we were satisfying the Inner man. Two stoves were kept full of routing oysters, and finding these insufficient, many per sons built fires outside and roasted for themselves, while others devoured them new. The profemois showed that intel lect was not necessarily injurious to ap petite by doing a fair share in the work of destruction, and at the same time cracking jokes and telling stories In a banner which Indicated that they could enjoy a good time as well ea the rest. Ater visiting a CM on the Island, 'captttring a few starfish and noticing some fresh Illustrations of facts already mentioned, we lei for Pot Island to visit what Is generally known ea "Capt. Ifidd's Punch Bowl". This is a modified form of the pot hole we have had seen on Smith's Island. It was about eighteen. Inches seep and had the form of a semi ellipsoid. After looking at this, Prof. Dana took us to a high lookout near the "Thimble Island House", where there was a fine view of the neighboring islands and the sound.

The Greeavilie Argus says: "From have been expressed by ma. ny that thin surrey was only a device to frighten the Luke Shore road into accept ing a lower rent for the right away over its trnrk, between Erie and Girard, but we learn from excellent authority that the managers of the E. S. P. read are satisfied that the Lake Shore will be even tually— and at no distant day—closed against them, and that the extension is an absolute necessity." Tag Erie Dispute li tells the story that recently, In Warren, four young men "on a spree" determined to play a yoke on Lon Morrison, a printer, whom they found helplessly drunk. They carried him to a atable, lined a rope over a beam, stood him on a barrel so as to tie the rope to good advantage, and then kicked the barrel out from under him. Down he came with a jerk that for a wonder did not happen to break his neck, bat left him hanging as scientifically as a Ca'craft could have Elicit him. The drunken crew got alarmed at his purpling face, and tried to lilt him up, taking turns at * raising him so as to take the pressure off Ida throat, and then letting him bane again while they rested themselves. This was kept up until the tumult attracted the attentkm of a passer hy, who at once slashed the rope off.

His feet were fastened together with straps around the ankles and a chain about eighteen inches In length connecting them. The present officers of the alms.house know very little about his history, as be was placed there many years ago, and was chained and kept confined for attempting to set tire to some of the buildings. The boy spoke rationally, but his mind seem ed stinted and impaired. He .p paired to be between sixteen arid eighteen years of age, looked weak and delicate, his limbs -shrunk for want of use When asked bow long he had been there, he said six teen years, and that he bad been chained for ten years. Evidently. he was not capable of a correct appreciation of the exact period. The jury thought the case 01 this boy called most loudly for the interference of the court, and were prmnpted by their feedings to inquire "Can nothing be done for him except 'lmprisonment for life, and that imprison. ment beginning In early childhood?' They, at least, could not see why be might not to placed in a room where he might have fresh air. Moreover, his confinement for animany years in chains, oven looked and forgotten, was a most shameful fact, which called loudly for thorough investigation.
