The newspapers Of the past week have given re-
ports Of trial in progress in this city Of an Episcopal
clergyman fer heresy. He was charged with hold
ing and teaching some of The peculiar doctrines Of
the itomish church. The person thus accused Is
connected with the Church Of the Advent in this
city. This parish hold the extreme doctrines Of the
high church party and their proceedings are regard

act of confirmation, were compelled to attend ser

cast the minds Of others in the same mould as our
own Is about as likely to be successful as if SINH

There are many striking features in the manner Of
conducting public worship in this Puseyite Church.
There Is no pulpit The preacher dressed in a
white surplice, has reading stand formed Of large
carved eagle, with outspread wings, for his manu-
script TO rest upon. The chanting is of a simple
and plaintiff order, as the choir use the Gregorian
cbaunts, written centuries ago. At the mention OF

2 The Indiana Statesman, the leading demo-
cratic paper Of Indiana, State which was BETRAYED
and dsgraced at the late session of Congress almost
as badly as New Hampshire, has the following par
agraphs on the recent elections, and the lessons thew
lncucate
FATE OF THE CoMpRomIsERs. The com.
promisers at the North are catching Jesse wherever
the people can get chance at them. Phelps of
Vermont Is thrown overheard like another Jonah
Dickinson of New York is Tepujiatcd, and Gen
Cass is tunked in Michigan. Who goes next?
1t thus notices the overwhelming defeat of BueI in
Michigan
The defeat of Mr. Buel for Congress in the De.
trot district, where he had ,000democratic major
ity to back him. together with the unring personal
eXertioRs of Gen. Cass, is but the beginning of the
end Tie had voted for the Fugitive Slave Bill. and
The weight carried him down, as il must and will
carry down all who support or advocate it. Ard we
venture to say thatf General Cass had himself been
running IN that same district he would have shared
the same fate. There was no stronger man Than
Mr. Buel in the democratic ranks-he was tboropgb.
", radically democratic, and but for that unfortunate
vote would have been triumphantly returned Ie,

4 CALIFORNIA INcIDENT. The Placer
Times relates the following story as having occurred
IA The iaad Of gold;
J Not lcus since, an ernigrant arrived over the
Plains In sicly and destitute condition, when eX-
cited the c0mniseration Of bis friends IN The upper
part If this country. who, 10 place the man IN po-
>igion 10 make living, elected him Justice OF the
Peace. IL the earlY par, Of this month, stranger,
thinking that the price Of beef in this city would
ilzss the act. took It into his head TO drive m OK
irom OF the rancho Of one Of the said Justice 5
friends, towards Sacramento; he was pursued, over
taken, and brought bafore the Justice. When the
case was heard and the mitimus made out, the
Judge adjourned the case for one hour and took the
prisoner into MS fgiftfUl care and keeping After
the crowd had dispersed, the honest Judge enquired
Of the prisoner who much he would give him If he
would release him. Al the money have was the
reply. The sam reached 5i23, which the Judge
took, and told 9rJaiEa 20 'egm5s he rGHch,' which
be readily did. The Judge then destroyed the pa
pers in the se, aud awaited the expiration Of the
hoer Of adjournment.
On the re-assembling Of the other patieS, the es-
cape Of the prisoner was announced by the court
with deep regret. Pursuit was made AT once, and
the thief traced 10 the American Fork, into which
he had plunged. holding on 10 grape vine to Keep
his head above water. In this situation be was dis
covered and brought back to the Justices office,
where The above facts were diyuged, proving that
the course Of rasceltv as well as love, doesn run
smooth. The crowd, incensed at the judicial con-
duct Of the Judge, formed a court for the occasion,
pat the OK driver on his trial and acquitted hin; then
summoned the head Of the legal tribunal, whom
they tried, found guilty, and order TO he dashed to
oak tree, and there 10 receive sound whipping from
the hands Of his fiend the former prisoner. The
cor hide applied vigorously BY the or thief
much 20 the qualification Of the temporary court and

HoRRoRs OF AvARICE. The Cincinnati pa
pers give Us some singular facts connected with an
old beggar wo oman named Elizabeth Morelock, whose
death recently occurred in that CITY, She died in the
night and In the evening lighted candle was pIac-
ed upon stand beside the bed, her idiot daughter,
frEhtI1 looking hunchback being the only attend
ant-though for part Of the time the ph' STEFAN was
present The old woman opened her eyes. and per
ceiyinz the burning candle, ordered it 10 be blown
ont saving that she could not afford to pay for it
When first taken SEX she ordered the chest which
was, after her DEATH found to contain nearly four
thousand dollars IN gold TO be placed b side her bed
and she kept Il within reach Of her arms during the
whole Of her sickness; and when the death struggle
came on, and she was told she must die. she flung
heIsslf upon the chest and caned at it in her wild
ayar5iOus frenzy until she tore the very nails from
her fingers, and tbgs embracing the ll-g0tten trsa-
sure, her spirit took it, flight An old stove in the
room was found after her death to contain consid-
cradle amount Of silver and copper ore, carefully
storfed away. The money and effects have besn
placed in the hands Of an executor appointed by the
court. In 1919, when small change was scarce.
this woman made a handsome speculation by selling
five hundred dollars worth at one time TO a single
individual. This money was accumulated by beg
gary, by herself and her idiot daughter The latter
was generally tiogged upon her return home at night.
