Preseat before the Court 90 Monday last and pend
ing the motion for bail, was examined upon this
question. He now says that from thorough ex-
animation which he has made since he is satisfied
that his irst opinion was Incorrect and he is now
ealrey satisfied that ne never did discover strTch
nine ia any form 10 the stomach of Miss, Phafr.

Ere broke out in the stable Of PHILLIP YouSd, on
Baker street, which completely Destroyed il in a
short time. The wind coming from the north west,
communicated sparks to the old Lutheran Chureh,
aud il, also was soon heap OF mouldering ruins.

The old Lutheran Church was among the most
ancieat ecifces 10 this section of country, having
been erected IN 1864. The position occupied BY it
was very commanding one, and The light oeca-
stoned by its eOnaa gralion was visible many miles
distant. Feeling regrets were expressed BY those
who witnessed its destruction.
Everything being 50 dry and combustble, and so
