THE LOOHEND SCANDAL.—At the quarterly meet-
log of the commission of the Free Church General Assembly,
held at Edinburgh on Wednesday, Dr. Candlish called
attention to the extraordinary advertisement lately published
by the Free Church minister of Lochend in.,the Inventor
Courier. The advertisement, it will be remembered, stated
that all the young and unmarried women of Lockout had
assembled is the vestry of the Free Church to get their cha-
racters " adjusted" by Dr. Campbell, in wasequeoce of an
imputation arising from the careumatanos that the deed
body of an infant had been found in Loch Neu. the oertili.
nits given being that the medical man had exercised a num-
ber of young and unmarried women of Lochend, and had
" so mace to believe that any of them had bees recently
cooled." Dr. Caadlish hoped that the local presbytery
would lose no time in investieg the cue, and should
they fail in their duty he had no doubt the next General
Humbly would take roguisance of the matter. The true.
action was one singularly shocking and revolting, and with-
out parallel in the history of the Christian church. Dr.
Buchanan, Glasgow, mid it was impossible the church
should be sliest when such a proceeding took place. It
was shameful and scandalous, and they must show their
abhorreece ot it and their determination, as a church, that
it should meet with its proper treatrasa. Professor Gib-
son
deprecated the English journals fastening any stigma on
the free church from such a revolting circumstance, which
would be repudiated acid censured by all of them, should
the statement be found on investigation to be true.
CHARGE or AanuerioN.—The charge against
James Boucher sad Elisabeth Beard, of abducting •
girl named Catherine Allen Box, who was under 16
years of age, from her parents, who lived at Muket-
Layingten, was disposed ot, before Mr. Justice °Tampico,
at Dunce, on Thursday. The jury found a verdict of not
guilty, on oviduct' which showed that the girl had, by
letters addressed to Boucher, declared her determination
not to stay at home, where she was miserable, and her
willingness to leave with him. Abe had arranged her own
Right, and met Boucher at the house of Mrs. Beard. They
went to Loedos together, where the father of the girl
tread them, sod reclaimed his daughter. There had not
been any impropriety between them, and they were pre-
paring to be married. The girl was the principal witness
in the case, mad the judge expressed himself as dissatisfied
with the evidence she gave, an opinion in which the jury
ociocorred.
A Ecru ENCLOSED IN BNOW.—Mr. John Bennett,
of Threlkeld, has • Hardwick ewe which was "hipped up
with snow," on the 29th of January, and remained till the
night of the 23rd February, when she was taken out by
Joseph Richardson. She is now alive and likely to do well.
The ewe had no chance of getting food, and had only room
sufficient to allow of her getting op and lying down spin.
Probably the oldest shepherd alive will not be able to re-
member a ewe sustaining life three weeks and four days
without food.—Weranorefand Gazette.
