NJ There are suggestions in the following
article, worthy of general consideration. We
have before had occasion to notice the laxity
Of that morality, which would allow man TO
pillage his neighbours orchard, without COM
junction, when, at the same time, his mind
would revolt at the idea of taking the most
trifiing article, of any other description, in a
clandestine manner. We glad to see the
subject revived. Public sentiment is powerful
when it acts, and it only needs to be acted upon
10 be corrected on this point. The influence
of societies may do, as it already in some places
has done, much to correct the evil complained

SAGAcIrr IN 4 Doc. On Tuesday, the
Goth Of May, while James Donaldson was
passing in cart through the village of
Lennoxton, he had occasion to step cut and
stop behind little TO speak to some person,
at the same time leaving his dog in the
cart. Almost Immediately thereafter, he
was not little disconnected to observe,
however, that the horse had taken fright,
and made of. He, however, received
prompt and effectual aid from a quarter
least to be expected. His faithful dog had
no sooner seen the horse run away, than lie
laid hold Of the reins, which his master bad
left lying on the front Of the cart and with
all his might did what he could to restrain
the speed Of the animals circumstance
which was Witnessed, not by Donaldson
alone, hut by several Of the inhabitants
who we're attracted TO the doors by tbs
noise. After the horse had proceeded ahou
( two hundred yards, the dog succeeded il
bringing him to a stand.

BISHOP w HITE.

The beautiful and just panegyric on Arch
bishop Cheyerus, which we copy this afternoon
from Tie Christian Examiner, has awakened
our attention, in particular manner, to the
venerable age of another emiuen; pre- late, ma
tive and resident Of Philadelphia, whom all
h. arts and mouths equally conspire 10 honor
We alIude 10 he truly pious, learned, and be-
nign Dr.. WHITE, the frs, Bishop Of the .ame-
rican Episcopal Church, now in his eighty Sc
cond year, 20 which he attained on Tuesday
se'nnight. He was born on the 24h March,
l747, 90. 81; educated in the College, the
present University Of Pennsylvania and gra-
dua,ed at the age Of seventeen, with the credi,
due to sound talents and conscientious diligence.
Towards the end OF 1870, being then in his 22d
year, he repaired to England for holy orders,
aud was there ordained as Deacon, in Decem-
Der Of the same year, and Priest, in April, l772
In the following autumn, he returned 70 Phila-
delphia, where in a few months. he was chosen
an assistant minister in the churches with
which he has been ever since parochially con-
neclrd.
I,is stated in respectable publication, that
he was Cha plain 10 Congress al the lime Of the
Declaration Of Independence, in 1875. This,
we believe, is mistake. He was, indeed, ap.
pointed to tina, Office, and accepted il, at very
critical period, after the British forces entered
Philadelphia, land before intelligence was receiv.
ed of Burgoyne's defeat and surrender, by
which, when known, hope was revived in the
public mind. On the removal Of the Federal
