p-.-n-,--,.. General Assembly,.

The Iowa Divorce Case occupied a consider
able portion of the eighth day of the session Of
the Geoerl Assembly. The Committee 70
whom was referred the duty Of preparing the
sentence of the Assembly, brought in majority
and minority report The report of the minor
itv-was rejected. The question recurring on
the majority report, the Rev T. RalstOn smith
Of New York, protested against the severity Of
the sentence. Prof Smith, of Union Theolog-
icai Seminary, contended that the Rev Mr.
Shields had not committed adultery in the sense
alleged in the report, and moved that the sub
iect be recO1amiited, with directions TO bring IN
amilder sentence. The motion 70 rs-eommit was
carried by a vote Of SO to 81. A motion to aP-
point new Committee also Preyaile J, aud the
Moderator spPOinted Rev. Lewis Hamilton,
Rev. S. II. Gridley, and Elders John Porter
and c. Taintor. The special Committee IN PuT-
suanee of instructions brought in the minority
report previously rejected, and it was adopted.
After a statement Of the facts established by the
testimony, the report, as adopted, says;
In view Of all the testimony brought before
the Assembly. the complaint is sustained 1t
has not been made to appear that the said Ma
riah C. Cowles attempted TO establish the iaet
Of adultery against her husband, VIM A
Cow!es. Neither has there been proved such
wilful desertion on his part as can no way be
reme1ied by the Church or civil magistrates
as Is recognized in the Confession Of Faith,
chapter "a, section 6, as ''cause sufficient for
dissolving the bond OF marriage"
The General Assembly do therefore consider
the said James II. Shields was properly convict
ed of adultery, and the decision of the Synod OF
Iowa in this case is hereby reversed, and the
judgment Of the Presbytery Of Des Aoines
therein confirmed.
The Assembly, whilst rendering this decision,
takes occasion to call the attention Of the
churches under It's care to tendency manifest
In some portions of country 10 relax the sacred
ness Of the marriage vow. Lying, as the IN
stitution Of marriage does, at the very fOunda-
ton of order, purity and prosperity in the State
and in the Church, the Assembly cannot view
without adherence any attempt to diminish its
sanetity or to extend beyond the warrant OF
the Holy Scriptures toe grounds Of divorce.
The Rev Thos. Brainerd, Rev. Geo. Chand-
Ter, Rev S. II Perkins, John A. Brown, and
NJ W. Baldwin were elected Trustees Of the
Presbyterian House in Philadelphia; and Oliver
H. Lee, VIM. E. Dodge, and Walter 5. Grif-
18th, Trustees of the Church Election Pund.

BANK OF LAWRENCE COUSTT.-A sense Of
duty to the public and the stockholders, espe-
ciay of the above institution, eomPels us to
make brief statement in contradiction Of the
statements we have seen in some of the Bank
Note Reporters, chasing this Bank among the
'-Wild-cst Banks" which does the bank and
the community great injustice; the bank being
owned and controlled here; the president, cash
Ter and directors are among our Oldest, most
respectable and responsible citizens. There is
no person who has the slightest regard for
truth, who knows the officers ard directors,
viii conlrovert this, or that the bank Is not col
trOlIed exclusively by them The charge that
the bank IS under the control of q ~TivertOn
Bank fnancier," which we have seen stated, is
utterly false, as it is notorious here that not
man who is interested in it, ever had anything
to do with the Tiverton Bank in any way what
ever; nor has the bank dollar loaned 10 any
party connected with the La Crosse Railroad as
has been insinuzted.
The list 0f stockholders rumber one hundred
and seventy, all Of whom reside in this State
but three, and all except five reside in this and
adjoining counties, (the great body Of them in
this,) and In this community, known to be re-
sponsible parties The public may rest assured
that the bank viii never be controlled by any
but home parties, and that il is entitled to all
eOnhdence--NeIr cGstls (Pa-) Gazette.

the resale of Pennsylvania State Canals by the
Sunbury and Erie Railroad Company. On
Tuesday last, it is understood, the Railroad Co.
sold the North Division TO sn association of
gentlemen, some of whom reside on the line Of
the Canal, and others in this city and at New
York for I,500, 900, the payment being secur-
ed. as we are informed, BY lien Of the works
themselves. This sale Is contested by another
association Of capitalists, who have been in
treaty for the same works, and who allege that
they offered the SCnbuTy and Enc Railroad
company $500, 900 more than the sum for which
they have been sold. namely. 81, ,000, 900; $780,
900 in cash S100,000 annually for five years
and 81. .400, 900 secured BY lien on the line Of

BY the 81. 0o0, 900 party has been an application
to the Courts for an injunction restraining any
further action in the premises until the parties
can be heard in open Court on the merits Of the
complaint. .-Pbiia. Ledger.
