Our criminal laws should be made as-definite ns possible; and he thought the words “profit and advantage” should be struck out as too indefinite. A. motion, was made tp add a new section exempting several-counties from the opera tion of the law. * i Mr. Fry said, ra offering to exempt Mont gomery county Irorrj the provisions of this ■ bill, ho, as well as 'others asking the same favor, felt they had a right in behalf of their constituents to claim ibis much for them. Tho Legislature last winljfr notified the peo ple, they should decide at the election whether they wanted n prohibitory liquor law. The people apied, and their verdict is before us. They rejected the proposition.— The. Maing law men npw claim to.have a ma jority of.districts, and the consequent right to act. Now sir, if you have a majority of dis tricts, and you claim ,lho right of a law upon that issue, hike it to your own districts if you want it; but give those districts who don’t want it the same privilege, Mr, Edinget hoped the new section would be adopted. "His constituents did not desire, this law,, nor did the constituents of other members who ligd claioied exemption from its operation. In Npyy York the Legislature gave each township, the privilege of voting for or against the licence system. Ue hoped the counties named would be excepted.

It was an artful effort to defeat the bill; as the bill would then con tain special legislation, which would receive the executive veto. Mr. Dunning acted on this bill, independ ently xif apy vole of the people. He was opposed to forcing this bill on counties wljich were opposed to it. And unless this section was adopted, he would be compelled to op pose the bill. The vole of last fall had no ’ reference-to a bill like this, and it would have no bearing on his conduct.

Casting a “Devil” out of Cbnrcli. .. A Methodist Minister Arrestedfor Assult ing a Distiller.. —We are indebted to our friend, J. M. Eells, of Marietta, Ohio, for the following graphic sketch. We are as sured that the facts transpired substantially as narrated: “A. Methodist clergyman, who has been la boring in ibis vicinity, was, not long since preaching to his people on the miraculous power of the Apostles over the demoniac spirits of their day. As he was pursuing his theme, the audience were suddenly startled by a voice from some one in the congregation, demanding, in a half-querulous, haU’-aulhori live tone, ’“Why don’t preachers do such things now a days 1” In an instant, every eye in the house was turned upon r lbe indi vidual who had the effrontery thus to evade the sacredness of the sanctuary, . The speaker paused for a moment, and liked his penetrating gaze full upon the face of the questioner. There was an interval of intense silence, broken at last by the speaker in resuming his subject. He had not proceeded far with his remarks, before he was again interrupted by the same imper tinent inquiry. Again he paused for a lime, again resumed his subject. Not content with a silent rebuke, our redoubtable questioner demanded again, “Why don’t the preachers do such things now-a-dnys ?” and curling ids lips with a sneer of self-complacency, drew himself up pompously in his seal. “Our reverend friend, (who, by [fie way, is a young man of great muscular power,) calmly left the desk, and walked deliberate ly jo the pew, where t\ie interrogator sat,' apd fastening one hand firmly upon the collar of hislcoal, and the other on the waistband of his “unmentionables,” lifted him square out of the seal and bore him down the aisle to the entrance. ' Pausing for a moment there, he turned his eyes upon his audience, and in a clear, full voice, said, “and they cast out the devil in the form of a distiller,'' and suiting the action to the word, out went the knight of the mash-tub, a la leap frog fash ion, into the street. “The good pastor quietly returned to his desk, and completed his discourse. After closing the services, as he Was passing out of thd church the out cast distiller with ad offi cer of the law, escorted our clerical friend to the office of a magistrate, to answer for an assault upon 4the person' of said distiller.— After hearing the case the magistrate dis missed the clergyman, and after roandly'>e priihanding the complaint, fined him for mo lesting the services of the sanctuary; “Since that day we believe He has never for a moment doubted the potvor of Hie Meth odist preachers, to cast out devils, at least, within the limits of the Ohio Conference.— Binghamptori (N.
