This is most gratifying testimonial TO the

What adds to the compliment is the fact that Mr.
Terril, though independent in his circumstances,
is by no means wealthy, and that without the
slightest personal interest in the institution, he
has adopted this mode of expressing his high
sense of the character Of the Cadets. 1t is an

THE BApTIsMAL QUEsTIoN.--Sevcral cases
have come before the ecclesiastical courts in
England lately, where the question to be deter
mined was the obligation Of Episcopal cergymen
to read the burial service over persons not bap-
tised by one of thei, own body. In the case of
Mastn Us. Escott, decided some two years ago,
the baptism was by Methodist clergyman. Mr.
Escott refusing TO bury the child OH the allega-
ton that Methodist baptism was lay baptism, and
therefore no baptism at all But the Dean of the
Arches decided that lay baptism was good and
valid baptism, meeting all the requirements of the
rubric, and that the party, without being baptsed
again, would be entitled to admission into the es-
tabIished church on receiving the rite Of confir-
nation. The Deans judgment was affirmed by
the judicial committee of the Privy Council
II was hoped and believed that by this decision
the question was settled forever; but in May,
1s43, it was brought up again by the Rev. Mr..
Chapman refusing to bury child that had been
baptised by an Independent, placing his refusal
on the ground that the Independents are herelics
and scbisnatcs, and their baptism therefore in
valid But Sir H. Jenner Fust, the present Dean
of the Arches, denied the latter position, and de-
cided that even heretcal baptism is Valid need
not be repeated, and justifes the reading of the
burial service.-N Y. Com. Ado.

A GOVERNOR IN PRIsoN.-The Lexington
(Ky.) Observer, in abiding to the recent dcstruc-
ton by fire of the Penifentary at Frankfort,
states that during the confagration, and while
the flames were raging all around with great fury,
the convicts in their cells were extremely anxious
to be brought out, under the belief that it was
impossible to save the building in which they
were confined, and that their lives were endanger-
ed. In this they were seconded by the ladies Of
Frankfort, who, in the feelings of benevolence
and kindness peculiar to their sex, appealed to
Gov. Letcher, who has the power to nterpose in
their behalf. The Governor, with his usual
promptitude, and with that energy of character
which distinguishes him, responded that he could
not comply with their wishes, unless it should
become absolutely necessary; and under the I'M
preston that the binding might be saved he
saii that he would himself become an inmate,
and if it should become necessary for him to
come out, the prisoners should follow him. He
accordingly went into the building, and although
suffering not little from the effect of the heat
from the adjoining buildings, he remained until
the fire extinguished This heroic and
praiseworthy act of the Governor was satisfacto-
ry to every one, and resulted in saving all the
,convicts, many of whom must otherwise have
escaped.
