The correspondent orthe N. Y. Daily

of the daughters of MIR Sayre.
A witness appeared upon the stand
yesterday (Monday) who became the
universal object of sympathy and atten.

ger daughter of the deceased.
With feelings apparently wrought to
n point Of the most intense anguish, she
stood there before the stern majesty of
the law, invested with youth, beauty,
and innocence, to confront the man ac-
cusod of being the assassin Of her father
and Of her mother-to examine and iden-
tify minutely the spoils of which they
had been pillaged-to point out the posi-
ton Of the various articles as she left
them previous to the scene of desolation;
and the associations which the sight of
them awakened in her breast, produced
an agitation so violent that it was with
difficulty she could respond to the ques-
tions that were put-her whole frame

around him. Accompanying Miss Sayrc
was the elder sister. Her sorrow was of

eye of sympathy. The young ladies' re-

IMPORTANT DECISION by the annex
cd letter from a correspondent at Tren-
ton, IN. j. it will be seen that the Qua
ker case has been decided in farow Of The
Orthodox party. This decision is final,
the Court of Appeals being the high
est Court in the State, and consisting, as
constituted on this trial, ofeleven Judges.
We understand, without being able to
vouch for the fact, that tow of the Judg
.: d'Soenfed Although the property in
dispute in this particular case is not large,
yet the principle involved in the decision
is all-important; there being numerous
other cases exactly similar, and a great
amount of property depending upon the
issue.
Trenton, Aug. Is, 1924. Agrceably
TO your request now inform you that
the case Of Debou and Hcndrickson has
just been decided by the Court of Ap-
pcals in favor Of the Orthodox party. by
affirming the decree of the Court of
Chancery.
The principle involved in this decision,
as we understand it, is briefly this; that
the Ilicksites have so far swerved from
the original Quaker doctrines, that dona-
tions, bequcsfs, sc. made for the support
of those doctrines, must be left TO ihn:
portion of the congregation or Society
who still maintain them, even though the
Hickstes should outnumber the Orho-
dox, and of course should be able TO out
vote them. Or to express it more broad
ly,--donations, bequests, sc made to a
or society for the support of
certain religious doctrines, cannot be
lawfully applied to the support of other
doctrines directly at variance with them.
1t Is the same principle precisely which
has been contended for by the Orthodox
Congregaiionalists of Massachusetts but
without success.

"Siop my paper" 1.-THE following ar
ticle we copy from the Saturday Even
ing Post, of recent date, and publish it
because we are fully convinced 1t is lite
rally true. Our own experience, has
long ago witnessed more than one similar
circumstance.
/ "Stop my paper" $50 says sub
scribcr whose name has been on our
book for several years. Contrary to our
usual rule, we allowed his arrearages to
increase to thirteen dollars. We know
him to be an honest man, and thought
his omission to pay might be oweing to
neglect. We wanted money to pay Tor
paper; to journeymen; for printing; for
the thousand articles necessary for our
publication, and we sent him bill. He
flew in passion, forwarded the money,
and says "stop my paper" 81 have
been patron of yours says he, "for five
years; you have never lost cent by
me; pay all my debts; | send you my
dues; but stop my paper"
ethan this there can be nothing more
unreasonable. This friend of ours has
been a subscriber for five years; it is
true; but what are subscribers worth
who will not pay? He never forwarded
us a cent until he was dunned. He read
notice after notice, that we wanted mon
ey; he knew his subscription was due;
and when we ask for our own, he gets
angry. "Stop my paper" so we will
and with pleasure. We ask no mans
patronage who, by his acts, declares that
the laborer is not worthy Of his hire. "
We regard no man as our friend and pa
tron, who withholds from us our just
duesD

The innocent haste with which the
dead, but especially the victims of the
cholera, are bore to the grave is very
rcprehensible. But in this haste TO inter
fellow being, in whom life is not extinct
but dormant or tranced, is certainly a
most appalling consideration. The fol-
lowing fact occurred on the line of the
Ohio Canal, and it is very reasonably
supposed, that it furnishes only one of
the many instances Of premature inter-
ment. A MIR Whelden, who left Eaton
on the 9th of June, 1888 was attacked
on the 10Th Of August, at 8 o'clock p.
NJ, and at o'clock the next morning,
was, TO all appearance, dead. In an
hour after, he was placed in n coffin,
and taken to the burial place. Here, as
the coffin lay beside the grave, deep
moaning was heard, and immediate sus-
picion OF the fact, induced the people to
remove the coffin lid, when Whelden
exhibited signs of life. lie was rcmov-
ed, and is now in the borough alive and

SPENCER SToRY REVISED.

We have frequently expressed wisl
that an interview might be had betweer
the Engineer of the Steam Boat, King
Philip, who received the pink letter, and
Nathan b. Spencer; whose affidavit on
the subject of that letter is before the
public. On Thursday last, the Engineer
accompanied by two gentlemen, one from
this place and one from Providence, went
to East Greenwich and there had an in
|. terview with Mr.. Spencer. When first
called upon MIR. Spencer appeared sur
prised and agitatcd-but consented to an
interview, twenty minutes from the time
it was solicited. He answered directly
some questions asked him, but appeared
averse to any nversation on the sub
ject. The substance of the conversa-
ton, as we have il from The Engineer and
the gentleman who accompanied him, IS
this. Spencer insists that he received a
letter from some one in Pawtuxet and
gave il to some one on board the Boat,
which, according to his business was the
9th Of November. But he does not
know who gave him the letter nor to
whom he delivered it. He was asked,
if on seeing the Engineer, he rccollected
that he was or was not the man to whom
he delivered the letter on board the
Boat. To this question he did not give
any answer. He was asked if he was
ever at Fall River. He said he was not,
and that he knew no person that lived
there.
! The Engineer states that the person
who gave him the pink letter, on his OBJ
jecting to take letter said, cit will not be
much out of your way, she lives near the
house of Capt. Borden" (Capt. of the
Boat.) Capt. Borden distinctly rccol-
lects that the Engineer, while returning
from Providence on the 9th of Novem-
Der, shew him the letter and enquircd
where the person to whom it was directed
lived, and he recollects further that the
Engineer stated at the same time, that
the man who gave him the letter said,
the girl to whom il was directed lived
near his, the Captains house. This then
settles the question. If Spencer was ne
vcr at Fall River and knew no person
there, it was impossible that he could
have told the Engineer where S. NJ.
Cornell lived and who were her neigh
bors.-Spencer says he paid nothing for
carrying the letter. The Engineer says,
and has always said, that the person from
whom he received the letter paid him
Spencer does not know to
whom hc delivered the letter. The En-
ginccr says Spencer is mol the man mho
garc him he pink letter. For what pur-
pose then it is proper TO enquire, has the
Spencer story been got up' and what eff
feet was it expected to produce Fall
Rircr Monitor.
