assisted by the Society, who had entered
the ministry; and in answer to the ques-
tons propounded them, they received a
most Interesting account Of their labors.
From these communications, il appears
that the amount of labor they had per.
formed, and the good they had accom-
plished. is not only great, but far greater
than would have been imagined As

This, it will be seen, will affect only
those who now receive the-paper in bundles
of twelve or more, at one dollar and fifty
cents each. Among my reasons for this
step are the following:
The paper never ought to have been
placed below two dollars, TO any class OF
subscribers. This price, with any patron-
age the Telegraph has ever had, or is likely
to have, will afford the publisher but a
meager remuneration for his labors and
responsibilities. compared with what is re-

Again:-The present arrangement is
highly perplexing to the publisher, and, In
spite of all he can do, involves degree oil

OF the Bank of the Metropolis, KNOWING
that the money had been stolen from the

No facts were elected in addition 10 those

Goodrich received the money from Orme
with no criminal intent, and that he
promptly gave it up to the officers of the
bank. He was acquitted. The trial OF
Orme IS put of to the next term of the
