tFrom the Pittsburg Journal, July al
Rev. T. Simpson Suspended from tho
Ministry.

On Wednesday morning, the Both inst,
the Presbytery of Allegheny, of the Cumber-
land Presbyterian church, met in Westmiu.
ster College. Allegheny city, pursuant to
adjournment Of July 18th, 10, perform the
painful duty of trying one of their brethren
on two separate charges of 'improper con-
duct" which were entertained against him at
the preceding meeting of the Presbytery,
and were as follows:
|. That he acted improperly in entering
Miss Hendersons state-room at such an un-
seasonabe hour
2. That he acted improperly in having the
names "Rev. Simpson and lady" entered on
the register of the steamer Arctic.
The Presbytery, in trying the case, used
the utmost care and caution, and every op.
portunity was afforded Mr. Simpson to es-
tahlish his innocence but he could moke no
defence against the charges preferred, and
admitted to having been in the same berth
with Miss Henderson Oh board the Iowa.
Even so far did the members of the Presby.
terry extend their generosity at the former
meeting when elicitiDg testimony for the
pnrpose Of finding out whether or not there
were sufficient grounds for predicating charges
at all, that they allowed the girl herself a
party equally implicated. and of course inter-
ested, TO give her evidence in which she
stated that Mr.. Simpson was lying in her
berth, but it was at her urgent request, us
she was afraid to stay in the room alone
However, Miss Ienderson-as what girl
would not under the same circumstances
denied that her guardian ever made any
improper advances.
The session Of the Presbytery was lengthy
and tiresome, being prolonged until four
o'clock on Thursday morning, when by q
unanimous vote, Rev. Il. j. Simpson was
indefinitely suspended from the Gospel minis
try of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
having been found guilty as indicted. The
entire investigation was conducted with closed
doors.
Let it be understood Mr.. S. is not expelled
from the Cumberland Presbyterian Church,
but indefinitely suspended, and is still amena-
ble to the Presbytery. If he had been ex-
PEELED possibly some other church might
have taken him in, but not as the matter
stands at present. However, if he marries
the confding creature he has ruined, and
gives unmistakable signs Of repentance, the
Prosbytery might reinstate him. But the
time for this, if it ever arrives, is far away
i'll tue future.

The PoRKEg DIssECTED.

DR.. Dixon, the racy editor of the Scalpei,
dissects the dietetc qualities Of porker as
readily as he slashes into the anatomy of
diseased humanity Either the Doctor is
right, or Moses OF old was wrong:
"The wisdom Of the Jewish law which
prohibits the use of pork, Will soon be ac-
knowledged by all rational beings. That
swine are afflicted with scrofua and tubercles.
we have repeatedly shown, and every killer
OF hogs we'll knows it the indgestibility of
the flesh is acknowledged, and if people were
enlightened, the hog would only be raised for
his fat alone. This is available in all cases
instead Of whale and other fish oils, and will
doubtless be made so in place of vegetable
oils--a few excepted of the finer kinds for
eating. Mutton and beef, if our farmers ever
become enlightened, may proftably take tho
place OK the hog, and would add greatly to
the health and dignity Of the farmers house
hold Hog husbandry is debasing. The in
huence of pork eating on the farmer is degra-
ding. Good husbandry would furnish other
iats for the farmer, to say nothing Of butter,
which the present catalogue of the grasses
and cereals, and enlightened irrigation furnish
in abundance. lf-and we emphatcally aver

bearings of what we utter, and precisely how
it will be received, nor do we care farthing
for the anathemas that will be hurled at us
for the assertion. What motive remains for

look no higher than to such repast for the
nourishment of the body, and to the nearest

compare this fairly with the poor farmer,
such as we have often seen him at the family

our country, with his salt hog, potatoes, and
sour iye bread, and his miserable husbundry,

GFrum the Detroit Free Press Of August
Another Ferocious Attack by the
Rear-A DnnperOus Animal,


We give the particulars of another affair,
in which the bear, of whose existence our
CONTEMPORARIES Of the daily press in this city
are oblivious, was actively concerned, and
came very near adding another victim of his
savage ferocity to the one whose death we
recorded day or two since. The scene Of
the affair was about 6 miles east Of the city,
and about mile and a half from the steam
saw mill owned and operated by MIR. John
Rumney. A party of men were engaged in
the woods on Thursday last in constructing a
shanty, when, it being found that certain
stick Of timber was needed for use, German
named Heidam, took an axe, and went INTO
the swamp to cut it. lie was in search OF an
appropriate piece for the purpose intended,
when he was startled by the sudden apparition
of a large black bear, standing few ieet
from him and eyeing him intently.
A large dog which accompanied him i'm
mediutely attacked the bear, seizing her by
the launches. and hanging on like grim death.
Hridam seeing the bear occupied in defend
ing herself against the dog, thought he had a
sure thing of it, and approached to strike her
with the axe. The bear on seeing this move
ment. raised herself upon her hadnchrs, and
as Heidam struck at her head with the axe,
caught the blow with her fore paw, aud sent
the axe flying through the air, entirely out Of
reach The force of the blow being miscalcu.
lated the consequence was that lleidam lost
his balance, and the bear caught him in its
grasp, and held him in deadly hug that de-
prived him Of every power OF motion. The
dog meanwhile worked manluliy Tor his mas
ter and kept the bears teeth in constant
action in defending herself from bis attacks
thus probably saving his masters life. For
tunately, the party which He!dam had just
left was not far distant, and bis cries tor help
together with the loud growlngs OF the dog
attracted their attention, and one of the party
seizing broadaXe, FASTENED in the direction
Of the noise Coming in sight Of the bear
who still held Heidmsn in a deadly grasp
made rush at her with his broadaxe.
The animal not liking the looks Of this
reinforcement, let go the man a3d made OF
at full speed, followed by the dog, who soor
returned badly wounded. Heidam upor
being released, dropped upon the ground
senseess from the effects OF the hug. aud was
taken up by his companions, and carried to q
place of safety, where he was resuscitated
lie has not yet recovered from the effects o
| the desperate struggle, so as to be able TO dc
anything.
The bar was accompanied by her three
cubs. aud has been seen by dozens of persons
in the same neighborhood, within the last
two or three weeks. We received the par
ticulars of the above affair from Mr.. William
| Rumney, 2O3 Jefferson avenue, who Learned
them on the spot, aud is ready with dozer
| witnesses to voueh for their accuracy. Ou
account of the killing of the boy by the SAINT
| bear. on last Tuesday, is also true in every
particular, the Tribune to tue contrary, not
outstanding.

How TO MAKE TEA ProPERIH.-The pror'
er way of making good cup of tea is mat
Of some Importance. The plan which have
practised for these twelve months is this -
The teapot is at once filed up with boiling
water; then the tea is put into the pot, and
is allowed to stand for FIVE minutes before il
is used the leaves gradually absorb the wa
ter and as gradually sink to the botton tho
result is that the tea leaves are not scalded,
as they are when boiling water is poured over
them, and you get all the flavor Of the tea
In truth, much less tea is required in this
way than under the old and common practice.

BupDiSo.-Budding can now be done for
some six weeks. 1t is very simple operation
when understood, but requires to be carefully
done. The best way to learn how to see it
performed by one who is a good hand at it
there will be ro difficulty afterwards. For
cherries, peaches, nectariues, apricots, &C.,
budding is regarded as better than grating:
and some persons also bud the apple pear &c.
For ourselves, we have decided preference
for grating. graft catches up to bud put
in the previous year, and is frmer, and makes
better tree; while the chances of their grow.
ing are also greater.-Germantou Tel.

HOOPS.
BY A COOPER,

bf COOPERs
Hoops on barrels, kegs and pals,
Hoops on boxes, tubs and bales,
Are articles indis pensable-
But hoops as they puff out woman's dress,
Making the uoman seem so much less,
Are thiDge most indefensibie.
Hoops when their sturdy clasp confines,
In brown old casks the richest wines,
Are objects OF admiration
But hoops as part of wsman's baggage,
Are like the whoops of painted savage,
n vile sbominaton.
Hoops make ueiul. pretty toys,
For active little girls and boys,
But hoops on woman gentle
Are things to sneer at at and to scoff.
And, like the whoop of the whooping cough,
Neither useful nor ornamental.
For while dear woman bones r er skirts,
And like skeleton faunts and firts,
She has so much to carry,
Man finds it hard with her to talk,
And harder still to sit or walk,
But hardest Of all to marry.
For when a smitten wretch has seen,
Among the lost in crinonc,
The one his heart holds dearer,
Oh! what chill to ardent passions,
To feel that tho this hollow fashion,
He never can be nearer!
That instead of timidy drawing near,
And pouring into the thrilling ear,
The flood of his souls devotion
He must stand and below in thunder tones,
Across half acre of skirts and bones,
AS if hailing ship on the ocean!
And if by chance the maid OF his choice,
Shall family hear her lovers voice
And smile her condecension-
Why he captures a mass of hoops and rings,
Skeletons, bones, and other things,
Too horrible to mention.
Thus lovely woman hoops to follv,
And drives poor man TO melancholy,
BY her frigid zones;
Then let here warning voice,
Between her hoop and hopes make choice,
And give the dogs her bones.

them open-and he meets us with a pleasant
cheerful smile. Although he is handcufled
