! Curious Ecclesiastical Trial
A very singular trial before the elders of Pres

concluded. 10 give full account OF 1t would
ma Ike 4 long story, but we shall endeavor TO give
! the leading points.
Two tanners, members of the same Church. sur
rendered portions of their lands for the construc-
ton Of the Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroad. Nh

grounds for station which was needed on ms

and other considerations n. went into the buSl-
ness of selling town lots round the station, anu

his damages sin pe'' after some time got tired OF
his bargain and entered suit against the Railroad
Company for having defrauded him and succeed .
ed in working himself into most hearty hatred oil
rails, locomotives and everything connected there
with ; and when lie saw that A: was pleased with
the Railroad and was likely to make money out OF
the improvement, included him in his dpleasufe
The suit against the Railroad has not progressed
very rapidly, and in the mean time Mr.. u, thought
there was a chance of Furnishing Mr.. A and BRING
ing the railroad into disgrace, at single stroke so
| he accused his neighbor and fellow member before
| the Church, of grossly Immoral conduct. A ira!
was granted and before the assembled elders MI
| b SOlemny accused Mr.. a of owning stock III n
railroad that practiced and encouraged immortality:
| the Ohio and PENNSYLVANIA Railroad having, as he
alleged, broken the Sabbath by running cars and
making repairs; and having injured the cause OF
temperance by carrying barrels OF whlskey as
| freight!
Ii was aIlntted that the cars lad run on Sunday
when the Saturday night tram unavoidably fell be-
| hind time that barrels of whisky might have been
shipped on the freight train, and last that Mr.. a
was stakeholder; then we need scarcely add, the
elders most soclmly acquitted MI a oil the charge
| against him.
But Mr.. will not permit the purity of the Church
to be Sulled in this manner. He intends TO appeal
IL the Synod which will enblc in this city next
month, and after that will, doubt, carry the case
10 the highest tribunal of all-thc General As
sembly.

cison whether the Ohio and Pennsylvania Rail
