The object of the special meeting was to

decided to meet In the latter place.

number and character of the read
that there are a good many dissensions
in some congregations. But the church
is in her militant state.

In the afternoon several young gentle
men delivered " trial sermons," which
were pronounced by the Presbytery to
be good specimens of pulpit eloquence.
The evening session was occupied in
the consideration of ,a petition from a

impotaltse, owing to existing feeling and

Ttila petition was remonstrated aliamat
strongly by a part of the congregation.
The representatives of both parties eon
ducted the case with considerable abil

remarks. When we lett they were bal•
ancing their stipend books loth the view
of ascertaining which party contributed
the larger amount. We did not wait for
the result, but we venture to my ow, the
Preacher did not get too much.
It is doubtful whether a vote would be I
taken lest evening, as we left after nine
o'clock.
It is expected that the case of the AU*.

Dr. Guthrie, thought that before e

of the Mattes, it yrbuld be well for them
to inquire as to the origin of the report..
He had known Presbytery to enter upon
Investigations of this character. in wh.ch
they ingot their fingers ' burned'? before
getting through with them, and Instead
of doing sr ad only worked Injury to the

origin in such a paper as the Pittsburgh

quiet vlllage on Monday. Oa close ex
amination a shroud was found concealed
to the house, and the fact was made
manifest that the corpse had been resur
rected for dissecting purposes, as
a box of dissecting implements
were- also found hidden away,
'Squire Russell was imunnoned and
strong circumstantial eridence w ad
duced which points to a physician so the
party guilty of the
unpardonsule offense
against public no of bodvanatch.
int. The corpse was t identified. The
case will probably find its way to Court.
for there is a heavy penalt attached 40
the crime of disturbing th y e
dead and
robbing the grave of its occupant. We
hope the guilty party wilt meet with the
punishment the outrage merits.
