PRECIPITATION Church. There is a law suit
pending beforethe Supreme Court ofPenn.,
Of immense importance this body of Chris
tians, and ofinterest to every denomination. tits
TO determine which is the true Presbyterian
Church. 1t is well known that there are two
bodies, both thoroughly organised, who claim
TO be the true church. The one composed Of
the synods excinded in 1887, and called gem
orally the new school, and the other composed
Of the synods, called the cold SCHOOL, The
trial commenced on the 4ih inst. and is not vet
concluded. The suit is brought by the Hon.
James Todd aud others, Plaintiffs VS. Aslbel
Green and others, Defendants, 10 recover the
books aud records of the church, and TO know
by what authority they claim to be the true
Presbyterian church. The plaintiffs are Of the
"new," and the defendants OF the "old school"
Messrs. Randall and Meredith of Philadelphia,
and Wood Of Newly ork, are counsel for the
Plaintiffs and Messrs. Hubbel and lngersoll
of Philadelphia, end Senator Preston of South
Carolina, ave counsel for the Defendants. Mr..
Preston is 10 argue the cause for the defendants.
The disclosures already made in the course
of the trial, show that this theological warfare
has been carried on in manner that would
disgrace common town meeting.
The counsel for the defendants have given
notice that they should take the ground, that
the act of 1901, called the act OF Union, was
unconstitutional and void, and that there had
been no true Presbyterian church since then.
Consequently the few survivors who applied
and obtained The act Of incorporation from the
State of Pennsylvania, are the only legal rep.
resentaiivcs Of the Presbyterian church.
Should this be established by the Court, the
whole Presbyterian hierarchy will be com
pletely overhrown.

INVESTIGATING CoMMIrrEE.-We commend
to the attention Of our readers the conclusions
TO which the committee Of Congress, for inves-
tigating the defalcations have come. We give
them on our first page. 1t will be seen from
them that there is in fact no system for keeping
the public money -that every thing is at hap
hazard, that there has been gross neglect not

of the Treasury, Mr.. Woodbury., in relation to
the duties of his Office. If these disclosures do
not rouse the people to drive this horde of pub

The PREsIDENT's MESSAGE, judging from
the Maine papers, does not seem to meet the
appreciation Of the people of that state. Nor
does the arrangement between Mr.. Forsyth
and MIR. Fox. So great was the excitement on
the subject that in one of the strongest and
most thorough going loco foco towns in the
county of Penobscot, the President was hung
in efigy by his hitherto thorough going par
tsans.
There has as yet been no legislative action
on the part of Maine, on the message Of the
President, but the papers of both parties say
that its recommendations will no, be complied
with. The excitement in Maine is intense,
and her people show determination TO main
tain her rights at all risks.

VIOLATION OF THE SABBATH.

1t ought to be known and remembered, that tn,
loss OF the packet ships Pennsylvania, Oxford
and st. Andrew, running between New York ant
Liverpool, the account Of which has of late filled
the papers, was occasioned by violation of thu
Sabbath.-Each of the ships was valued $40, 900
and their cargoes at 100000 or more. The
Pennsylvania and St. Andrew both sailed on tn,
Sabbafh, and were forced back by the gale. The
Oxford anchored off on the Sabbath. Had these
ships lain ''up the river" where the Cambridge
lay over the Sabbath, and until the wind or gale
was over, they too might have been safe.-Zion's
.aduocate.
Thus DO we continually hear of casualties oc.
casioned by violations Of the Sabbath. In our
own city the Sabbath has as yet been generally
observed as day consecrated to God. But tho
holiness of the Sabbath is here openly violated bv
many confectioners, oyster-sellers, &c. Letevery
Christian dlscountenance violations of the Sab.
bath however slight.-Christian Uatchmau.

ARTIFICIAL STONE.

Among the various discoveries Of modern
times, we have seen nothing, which in our opin.
ion, promises to be of much utility to the world
and especially to those sections where there is a
scarcity of stone, as the art of manufacturing
stone out of sand or gravel, with the aid of what
is called water-lime, in such proportions of each
and in such a manner as to form solid rock
This discovery was made by Obadiah Parker,
Esq, who has obtained a patent therefor Mr.
Parker is man of extensive requirements and Of
uncommon powers of mind. His discovery Of
and improvements in this important art have cos
him much study, labor and expense in bringing
1t to It's present state of perfection. To define
its value would require volume. Some idea NAV
be formed Of its great utility, when it is understood
that large and stately edifces may be erected
with this material whose walls may be SOLID
mass OF stone, which instead of being subjected
to dlapidation, will increase in its durable quail.
ties by age. Door steps and stills, window stills
and caps, and hearths, may be made of this ar
tifical stone ofpolshed surface and various colors
and equal in strength to granite or marble, and fa
less expensive than either.
Mr. Parker offers to build of this material as
cheap as can be built Of wood or brick, and will
warrant the same to be far more durable.
In old settled countries, where wood and stone
are scarce-we think this discovery will be founc
to be extremely useful, not only for buildings bu
for fences. 10 the settlers on large extensive
prairies, it will also be of ncalcuable ADVANTAGE
