Bishop OsbERposK (writes New York
correspondent of the Boston Journal is a
regular attendant at the Church of the An
nunciatiop, in New York City. He is, de-
facto, the Bishop of New York els sus-
pended, not deposed. He lives in the
Episcopal residence, and has salary of
$4,000 year, paid by the diocese. 1t was
quite touching sight, as the Communion
was administered by the provisional Bishop,
to see Bishop POTTER administer the ele-
ments to the Bishop alone, before the priests
and congregation were served. 1t is now
nearly ten years since the Bishop was sus-
pended. Bishop o. regarded the sentence
as unjust, and growing out Of personal feel
inps but he bowed to it submissively. He
has abstained from all company since, and
has never walked down Broadway since that
time. He visits the Church Of the Annun-
citation each morning at daily service, and
attends on the Sabbath. Besides this, he
keep. himself closely within his house.

The CSc ERTAIsTY OF THE LAW.-We
have heard story illustrating the glorious
uncertainty OF the law which will bear re-
peating. A man BY the name of Johnson
was recently arraigned before one of the
criminal courts in New Hampshire upon a
charge Of setting fire to barn. The evil
denee was pretty strong against him, and,
under the advice of the counsel, he put ia
the plea Of nolo contendere, in the expecta-
ton of securing a lighter sentence than he
would if the case went to trial. The gov
eminent attorney, who had summoned his
witness and felt sure of conviction, con-
tended that the plea was not sufficient, and
insisted that the prisoner should plead gull
ty After consulting again with his couh-
Sc the prisoner withdrew his plea of no!o
conteadere and plead not guilty. The case
went to trial, and by some flaw in the evil
dence or other technicality the prisoner
was acquitted. The confusion and indig-
nation Of the Government attorney at this
unexpected turn of affairs can be bet
ter imagined than described Boston Jour.

These are the first instance of steamboat
