RWe have received communica-
ton from very respectable citizen OF
this place, setting forth that himself and
wife, on last Sunday, went to the Pres
byterian church, passed to the far end
of the aisle and back to the door, with
out any person opening their pew door,
and that feeling mortified thereat left
the church and went home. We omit
the communication, believing it would
have bad tendency. If our recel-
lection serves as, the public were noti-
fed some months since, that the seats
in this church were free to all who
wished to attend divine service, and in
such case the gentleman and lady had
the liberty of entering any pew in the
church, and without encroaching upon
the rights of others.

CLERICAL INGEEUITY-WHY THE TAH
WOULDN'T SrIcKl-The treatment of q
Methodist minister, at Lebanon, H., by
portion of the citizens, to which we
alluded the other day, possessed several
decidedly laughable features. The fel-
low, it viii be recollected, had married
a widow in Lebanon, soon after which
he prostituted her daughter, young
girl of only fifteen years. The St
Louis Republican, of the 18th. goes on
to tell of the Lynch doings:
They at once proceeded to his house,
but the fellow had firmly baricaded
himself. and Just as they were about tc
force the blockade, he offered 10 capt..
ulate on certain conditions. The terms
proposed by him were. that he would
let them in, and submit to being tarred
and feathered, provided they would
dispense with the other punishment pro
posed. This was finally agreed to, and
the impatient mob let in, when, to theil
astonishment, they found their victim
ready for the sacrifice, with nothing or
him but pair of socks, while his nude
state seemed particularly adapted tc

FAIR BUT FALsE.-Yesterday morn
ing officer Lewis arrested, at the Waiver
ly House, a dashing and remarkably
good looking female named Cook, ot
whom intelligence had been received
from Cleveland that she was fugitive
from justice, where she had been ar.
rested upon a charge of adultery. Ac-
companying her was a man named Cos
grove, who was also placed under ar
rest. We understand the facts of the
case to be these:
A few years since the husband of the
lady, Mr.. Cook, wooed and won her
at that time she was blushing and in
genuous girl, residing in Boston, Mass.
For a time the horizon of their happi-
ness was undimmed with cloud, and
not a speck was seen to dim the radi-
ance of their day dream of love.
The pledges of affection, boy and a
girl, bound the link which united them
still closer, and the summer of their
lives bid fair to glide on as unrufled as
their spring. A reverse in worldly mat
ters caused Mr.. Cook to remove his fam
lily to Brooklyn, N. Y. There, how
ever, fortune favored him no better,
and after fruitless effort to retrive his
affairs, he sailed for the golden land in
which SO many fortunes have been made
and so much happiness wrecked, leav-
ing his wife comfortably although not
luxuriously provided for.
Fortune, which had hitherto eluded
his grasp, now favored him, and in a
couple of years he found himself pos
sessed of sufficient wealth to bid adieu
to the land of his adventure-the mod
ern El Dorado-and in the impatience
of undying affection, to hasten to the
loved ones at home Upon his return,
however, he discovered that his hopes
were wrecked, his happiness gone for
ever. His beautiful wife whose image
had, during his exile, smiled upon his
exertions by day, and mingled with his
dreams by night, had proved false
false to those holy vows which before
high heaven she had pledged when she
first consented to entwine her fate with
his She had left the home he had pro-
vided her, by straitening his own cir
cumstances so severely that when he
landed in California he had scarcely a
dollar in his pocket; in less than six
months she had left that home, and
taking her children, had fled with par
amour to Cleveland, where, for year
and half, she had been living in state
of adultery. Rage, perchance hate, at
any rate revenge took possession of the
injured husband; he sought the guilty
pair, and with the keen perception
which rage and jealousy will impart to
an outraged heart, discovered their
whereabouts. They were arrested; the
paramour was thrown in Jail, but the
wife, aided by friend named Cosgrove,
made her escape, and together they ar
rived in this city. Hate, IKE pursu-
ing fend, followed them, and they had
hardly arrived at the Waverly House,
ere officer Lewis, having been notified
by telegraphic dispatch, again arrest
ed her and her companion; and yester-
day evening, she as fugitive from JUS
tice, and he for aiding her escape, were
taken back to Cleveland.
