CHURCH TRo0BLE.-The Jersey City Sem
final is informed that difficulty has recently
occurred in the Episcopal Church of North
Bergen, which is likely to result in the resig
nation of tour vestrymen. A cross seven or
eight feet high has been erected on the top of
the tower, against the wishes of the parties,
who are of the Old School Episcopaiian
Church, and decidedly opposed 10 anything
inclined TO Puseyism. The cross, il is said,
has been erected by one or two, and not by a
vote of the vestry.

AxorHER SLAVE CASE IN CINCINNATI
SsversI weeks since we published a statement
thai a couple Of slaves were manumitied by
Mr.. Oryille Thomas, of Louisiana. Recent
occurrences induce us TO state again the fol-
lowing facts Mr.. Thomas was on his way
10 the East, and when he arrived here he was
told that he would lose his slaves. He then
resolved that he would anticipate their desigr,
if they had any idea OF leaving him, and, on
the morning he left, he called them before him,
and told them they were free. and that he would
hive their papers made out on his return
They we've taken by surprise, and did nj, I
seem TO express any great degree of joy upon
the announcement in which they were SO much
Interested being made TO them. On Tuesday
morning Mr.. Thomas returned, and, as he was
about entering the Burnet House, he was
met by his boys, who requested the privilege
to be taken back again. they protested that
they would prefer returning with their master
to Louisiana, than 10 remain in Cincinnati,
and nave their freedom. We afterwards learn.
ed that the result was just what Mr.. Thomas
expected, for he did not believe they could
take care of themselves. He received them
and Wednesday morning the party left on the
Tishomingo for Louisville, en- route for home

gives the particulars of some strange doings
which lately took place IN that village. A
gentleman from neighboring county went TO
Vernon, Indiana, TO marry a young lady to
whom he was engaged. The friends of the
lady objected and sent her to the country.
This caused good deal of excitement in the
town, and a writ of habeas corpus was sued to
rescue the girl. She was at length found in
a church on Sunday last. On coming out of
the church the officer attempted to take possess
males and females, who drove him off with
sticks, stones, &c. The next morning the
girl appeared in court, but no one appearing
10 prosecute the writ, her friends again took
possession of her. Several fights occurred and
parties were bound over to answer FIR riot.
