Aberdeen. incurred the displeasure of i the humbler citizens, he was assailed with t the question—“Whopurdered Downie 1’” ‘ Reply and rejoinder generally brought on i a collision between "town and gown ;” al- I though the young gentlemen were accused lot'what was chronologically inipossihle.—- i People have a right to bemngry at being . stigmatized as murderers, when their accus -1 ers have probability on their side; but the “taking 06” of Downie occurred when the gownsmen, so maligned, were in meddling clothes. ‘ But there was it time, when to he hrand ed as an accomplice in the slaughter of Richard Downie made the blood run to the cheek of many a youth, and sent him home to his books, thoroughly subdued. Dowme was sacrist or janitor at Morisohal College. BOne of his‘dpties consisted in securing the gate by a certain hour; previous to which all the students‘had toassemblein the conf mon lmll, where a Littin prayer was deliv ered by the principal: Whether in dis charging this function, Downie was.more, rigid than his predecessor in office. or; whether he became stricter in the perform~ nnce ot it at’one time than another, cannot be ascertained, but there can be no doubt ; that he closed the gate with_ austere punc-v tuality, and that those who were not in the common hall within i'minute orthe pre scribed time were shut out, and were after wards reprimanded and fined by the princi pal and professors. The students'became nritsted at this slrictness, and took every left? means ofannoying the worm ; he, in his turn, applied the screw at other points ofthe academic routine, and II fierce war ‘ soon began to rage between the collegisns 1 and the humble functionary. Downie took care that in all his proceedings he kept within the strict letter of the law; but his opponents were not so careful, and‘the de. I cisions of the rulers were .ugniformly agnimt 1 them, arid in tnvorot‘ Down 9. Reprimsnds isnd fines having failed in producnng due i subordination, rustication. suspension, and 3 even the extreme sentence ofexiiulsion had I to be put in force; and, in the end, law and 1 order prevailed. But a secret and deadly grudge continued to be entertained against Richard Downie. Various schemes of re 4 veng‘e were thought Of. Dennis was in common with t chers and taught, enjoying the leisure ofth short ‘New Yhsr’s vacation—the pleasure being no doubt greatly enhanced‘by the‘nnnoy ance to which he had been subjected dur ing the recent bickering-i—when,vus he was one evening seated with his family in his ‘ official residence at the gate, a messenger informed him that a gentleman at a neigh boring hotel wished to speak with him.— ‘ Downie obeyed the summons, and was ush ered from one room into another, till at length he found himself in a large apart imenc hung with black, and lightedihya l solitary candle. After waiting for some time in this strange place about fifty figures, also dressed in black, and with black masks onth‘eir faces, presented themselves. They arranged themselves in the form of a court, and Downie, pole with terror, was given to [understand that he was about to be put on his trial. t A judge tool; his seat on the bench. a clerk and public proseeutor sat below; a jury was empanneled ‘ln front; nnd wit nesses and spectators stood around. Downie at first set down the whole afl'air ns- a._iol<e; but the proceedings were conducted with such persistent gravity. that in spite of himself, he began to believe in the genuine mission of the awful tribunal. The clerk read an indictment, charging him with con spiring againstthe liberties ofthe students; witnesses were examined in due form ; the public prosecutor addressed thejury ; and thejudge summed up. ‘Gentlemen,’ 5* Downie, “the joke has been carried far ough; it is getting late, and my wife and family will be getting nnx ious about me. Ifl have been too strict with you in time past, [am sorry for it, and I assure you I will take more care in future.’ ‘Genllemen of the jury.’ said thejudge, without paying the slightest attention to this appeal, ‘consider your verdict; and if you wish to retire do so.’ The jury retired. During‘their absence, the most profound silence was observed; and except renewing the solitary candle that burnt beside the judge, there was not the slightest movement. The jury returned, and recorded a ver dict of Guilty.’ Thejudge solemnly assumed alarge black cap, and addressed the prisoner: ‘Richard Downie! Iliejury have unani mouslyfl found you gUilty of ccmpiring against the just liberty and immunitie: oi the students of Marischnl College. You have wantonly provoked and insulted those inoflensive lieges for some months, and your punishment will assuredly be condign. You must prepare for death. In fifteen minutes the sentence of the Court will be carried into efiect.’ The judge placed his watch on the bench. A block, an 9.x, and a bag of sawdust were brought into the Centre of the room. A figure more terrible than any that had yet appeared came forward, and prepared to act the part ofdoomster. IL was now past miinight, there was no sound audnble, save the ominous ticking of Lhejudge’s watch. Dowaie became more and more alarmed. , ‘For heaen’s ake, gentlemen,’ laid the terrified man, ‘let me go home. I promiée that you never again shall have came for TRUTH IS IXGBTY AND WILL PMYAIL complaint.’ ‘Rxchzml Downie,’ remarked the judge. ‘y are vainly wasting the few moments thfikare‘lefl you on earth. You are in the hands of those‘whc must have your file.— Nohumuu power can snvewou. Attempt; to utter one cry. and you are seized, and yourdoom completed before you can utter anolha.

Pre pa‘lo, 1 Ken, for death ; another five mmuws wxl ‘benllowed, but. nomore.’ The unfortunate man in an agony oftlead ly ten-(r, raved and shrivked‘for mercy; but. the :xvmgers paid no heed to his cries.— Hls fevm'ed; trembling lips then moved an if in sihnt prayer; for he. felt that the brief spnpe lmween him and eternity was but a few ma'e tmkings of. that. ominous watch. ‘Now!’ exclaimed the judge: ’Fourlpersons stepped I'm-ward and siezed Downl on whose features acold clnmmy sweat nd burst forth. They bared his neck a made him kneel beforethe block. 33m !' exclaimed thejudge. The pxecutioner struck the ax on the floor; al assistant on the opposite alga lifl e'd at. lb. same moment a wet t.) , 'lnd struck ilncross thg neck of the recu ent criminal A loud laugh announce that the'jokdlmd at last coqne m an end. But. Drwnie respondea not. to the upronri ous meriment. They lauglmd again; but. still he moved not; they lifted him, and Downiemu dead ! , . 'Fi'ighthiid killed him as effectually as if ' the ox d a real heudsman had severed his' 5 head frcm his body. 3 t t It wast: tragedyio all. The medical stu : dentin tr‘ed to open a vein. but all was over, ”and the conspirators had now to betliink ; themselves of safety. They now in reality . swore an oath among tbeuiselvesnnnd the afl'righted young men. carrying their dis guises with them, left. the body of Downie lin the hotel. One of their number told the landlordthat their entertainment. was not yet. quite over. and that. they did not wish the individual that was'left in the room. to :be disturbed for'some hours. This wasJo give them a‘il time to [Hui-{P their escape. t Next morning the body was found. Ju dicial Inquiry was instituted; but no satis factory result could be arrived at. The corhfie of poor annie exhibited no mark 01 violence, intrinal or external. The ill Wlll betiveeu him and the students was known : it was also known that tlio'stuth-nie had hired apartments in the- holel for a [it'- atrical representation ; that annie had been “lit for by them: but beyond this nothing was known. X 0 noise had been heard, and no l-l‘titil ol murder could be ad duced. Of two hundred students at the college who could point out the guilty 0? suspected ti'ty." Moreover, the students were scattered over the city, and the miigis crates themselws hnd many of their own families nmong<t the number, and it. wah not desirable to go into the affair tooyii nutely. Domie’s widow‘imd family were provided for. and his slaughter reinmued a. mystery, until about. fifteen years after its occurrence. a gentleman on his death-bed disclosed thP whole particulars. and avowed ; himself to have belonged to the obnoxious x class of students‘who murdered Downie.- DZc/cm’ llnuae/wld Words. HOW TO ENRIOH MEADOWS Mr. H. Lewis. of Frankfort, states that “he had twenty-five acres of meadow that would yield annually :1 quantity of hay suf ficient for the' winter keep of fifty head of cattle. Some of his grass had already lodg ed, and he thought it would not come up again. This extraordinary fentility‘ of soul‘ and growth of grass had been effected by under-draining and by top-dressing the 'soil with sawdust in which was absorbed the liquid manure from his stock. He re graded the liquid manure of more value than the solid excrement ot the animal.— This conclusion had been arrived at by ex periments and from observation. Stakes hid been set. in pasture and meadows to note the efi‘ects of liquid and solid manures, and the growth of grass was in favor of those spots where the animals left liquid msnures. Some iew yours since, he com menced using sawdust for the absorption of liquid manures and spreadlng the compost on his grass lands,—the soil responding in a most rcmarkabie manner. Latteriy he had been using the dust at the rate of sixty bushels per week. The manure is hauled upon the land and spread as evenly. as possible with a shovel or fork; it is then brushed and compittelfbroken up and distributed in fine particles. This dl vision and fineness of the manure is regar ded of peculiar advantage, since the plants are better able to appropriate their food, and it reaches a greater number. About half of the meadow is under-drained with Horse—shoe tile, the drains heingsunk three and one-half feet deep.

The resolutions recite thesaut-r’s idea of the present state of the country, of what has brought us into it, and what w l enable us to get out of it. and conclude b declaring it as a duty which they owe to God, to vote themselves, and to urge their parishioners to vote. tor thernomiaecs of one 'of on political parties, whom they! mention by name, at. the coming Presiden tial election.

Before me lies a. copy of the “Western Christian _Advocate.”‘ a. Methodist paper published at Cincinnati. it is not a. private sheet. but is owned by the great Methodist Church. and speaks in its name.

The list might easily be swelled till .it would 33: from the range ofn newspaper to a booi: Qf no m‘an size, whatever applicability the adjective, in one sense, might have to the contents. These, however, may eulfiqa for our present purpose. Let the reader ob— serve that— . 1. To do work like what has just been referred to. is not the business 0t Synods, ministers. or Church papers. They claim to speak in the name of Christianity, i 9. so far us: they represent it. and their position necessarily leaves that impression. In its name they ought to speak when they do speak; and on wlmt they have no warrant from it. they should either be silent, or re .frain from-dictation. The distinctivework of Christianity is to represent to men the unchangeable, the~eternally true, the di vine, and to addras in men the immortal soul and its undying interests. Itns laying violent hands upon it to seek to subordi— nate it to other purposes. 2. It is a great mistake to suppose that the Churdh hallors politics by becoming it ‘self political. All history and experience testify to the contrary. For any part of it to become political Ess violation ot the law orits life, s heaven crying wrong. Denom jnslions, congregations and ministers, who forget their calling in this matter, will themselves be secularized beiors they are are swsre of it. Sooner or later, they mil be found floating adrift amid— the floating opinions and interests to which they have al’lied themselves. There are more means than a kiss to betray the Lord, and to se’ cure the fate of Judas. _ 3. The tendency is immediately mischiev ous. In our country the two great partig are very'nearly equully divided ns‘to "num bers. talent, intelligence and moral worth, and they profess alike unswervmg fidelity to the country. How, then, can the Church, under these circumstances, pro claim it as a duty to God to uphold the one and Wuvhelm the other?
