days proceedings of the trial of the Rev. Mr.. Kel-
loeh, upon the charge of adultery, at Cambridge,
Mass, together with a teleeraphic summary of the
evidence given yesterday by the witnesses for the
prosecution. The high standing of the defendant
anC his bold denial of the crminality alleged
against him, as well as his prompttude in seeking
IN investigation Of the charge when fret arraignsd
in the newspapers of Boston, has invested this case
with more than ordinary interest. Among the spec
tatos of the trial is the husband of the lady with
whom the adultery is alleged to have been com
mitted. At the adjournment Of the court he shook

him on the aspect of the case. Our readers will be
able to Judge by the testimony elected what degree
Of faith the husband must possess to sustain his be-
lief in the innocence of the parties implicated.
