FUNERAL OF THE LATE DR.. HENRY SARGENT.
The writer cannot, without doing injustice to
his own feelings, suffer this occasion to pass
without giving to them expression. 1t was one
which will be long remembered by all who had an
opportunity to witness it
On dfeary morning, the rain falling in tor.
rents, we assembled at the house, and after the
usual devotional exercises BY Rev. DR.. Hill. We
proceeded to the depot of the Boston and Wsr.
cester Railroad under the direction Of Col r, eh-
ardson. The friends and the remains Of the de.
ceased occupied a car expressly arranged for the
purpose until the arrival OF the train at Brighton
where the funeral procession was again formed
and proceeded Immediately to Mount Auburn.
The storm of the morning had apparently made
it necessary that the services at the cemetery
should be performed in the chapel, but as we ap.
preached the grounds, the storm had passed, the
clouds were breaking, and upon our arrival we
we're met not only by Rev. Edward 4. Hale and
other friends of Dr. Sargent but the sun shone
out bright and beautiful, and the singing birds
made the groves vocal with their melody There
was no longer need Of "temple made with hands"
in which to perform the last sad offices OF love.
There in that ''cty Of the dead" the bright blue
sky above him, the friends of his childhood and Of
his mature life around him, the grave OF that
young wife by whose side long years ago he had
prayed to be allowed to rest, while the gentle
breezes kissed his brow, and smile Of holy peace
seemed to rest upon his countenance, the pastor
and friend Of former years, in a voice tremulous
with suppressed emution, performed the last
beautiful and impressive services Of the day. In
addition TO the other appropriate exercises, he
read two hymns, the first stanza Of each Of which
is given, which we're selected by DR.. Sargent ex.
pressly for the occasion, and which are remarka-
bly, illustrative Of his character;
"Nearsr, my God, to thee
Nearer 10 theej
Ken thoulh II be q cross
That raiseth me
bull all my song sfell be

The MoRMoNs We devote a considerable
portion of our paper this morning to the publica
ton Of the very interesting narrative of Freder.
lex Loba, late High Priest among the Mormons,
but who. becoming convinced of the falsehood Of
the system, and the general depravity of its ad.
herents, especially its leaders and those in power,
broke off from them, and effected his escape. We
felt that in the present state of the Mormon
question, we could not do our readers better
service than BY the publication of this arrative,
and we commend it to their especial attention.

The LATE HExRY C. MELLIsH Reliable in.
formation has been received from several sources
confirming the intelligence published in the Spy
few weeks since, of the supposed murder of
Henry c. Mellish, son of John Mellish, Esq, of
Auburn, in this county.
1t appears that the citizens of Decatur, Ne.
braska Territory, have learned that his life had
been threatened by the Omaha Indians, on &C.
count Of company Of which he was a member.
having neglected or refused to pay in full for the
use of some buffalo robes that they had borrowed
of the Indians, n an occasion of the company's
camping out over night on the Indian Reserva-
ton The company had been engaged in build
ing bridges for government on the military road
up the Missouri valley. The company had all
lett Decatur except Mr.. Mellsh, and it appears
their vengeance was wreaked on him. The mat
ter is to be fully investigated at Decatur.

A You've DRPAuLTBR. On Wednesday
last. Mr.. Charles Townsend. a merchant Of
New York, sent boy about fifteen years old,
in his employ. to the bank with tin box com
tanning nineteen thousand dollars, to leave il
in the bank for safe-keeping over night. The
boy disappeared, and nothing was heard at
the bank of the box or the money. Officers
were set TO work to hunt up the boy, They
found that he went home TO hs mothers about
four o'clock Wednesday afternoon, took his
trunk, and did NOT return again. The officers
traced him 20 the extreme end Of Brooklyn,
10 the residence of his grandmother. and
keeping watch 1T the house, arrested him as
he came in about eleven o'clock ct night. He
stoutly denied ell knowledge Of where the
money was for some time. but finally became
80 alarmed that he took the officer 10 q little
woodhouse, back Of where he was stopping
andtook the box out Of hole where he had
concealed IL. The money was all found safe.
Mr. Townsend is much to be blamed for hav-
ing trusted the boy with SO much money on
such AN Grand.

AN INTERESTING CAsg,-The case of Jas
Brown VS.. stephen Perkins, ct ux.. is now
on trial before the Supreme Court, in session
at Salem, which involves some very interest
ing points. The action grows out of circum-
stances which transpired in the town Of Rock
port in July, 1866, when two or three hun
dred Of the women in the town formed a pro.
cession, with banners, marched through the
streets, stopping at tie several shops where
liquor was supposed to be kept for sale, break
ing in and destroying the liquors they found
The plaintiff in this suit was an owner Of one
Of the shops, and soon after the occurrence
instituted this suit against the defendants,
who, he alleged, took part in the assault upon
his premises. The defendants rely chiefly
upon the provision Of the present law, which
declares buildings kept for the unlawful sale
OF liquor to be common nuissnces.

The CASE or Nh. DwrsHr.-The examination
of Mr.. Henry Dwight on the arst charge Of per-
jury arising out of his connection with the Chi
cago, Alton and st. Louis Railroad, was con-
cluded before Judge Russell on Thursday, and
Friday next has been fixed for rendering the
decision. This Is but the first Of numerous
catalogue Of criminal charges against Mr..
Dwight, arising out Of alleged frauds In the
management Of this railroad, Of which be was
once director, and of which. according 10 the
theory Of the prosecution, he had always nearly
the whole control Each charge will be taken
up In succession They comprise two charges
of perjury, one Of embezzlement, and one or
more of fraud.
The substance of the charge just investigated
IL, that Mr.. Dwight did, in an answer put In In
a certain quit brought against him and wife by
Brown, Brothers q Co., to foreclose a mortgage
on their homestead at Barrytown, wilfully and
corruptly swear, con information and belief"
in the usual form, as part Of his defence Ia
that suit, that the Browns bad for long time
desired 10 get possession Of the railroad for the
purpose Of securing debts due them therefrom,
and to that end had induced one Hamilton
Spencer to procure lease of the road and as
sign the same to them. II Is alleged by the
prosecution, which il conducted by Oakley Hall,
that Mr.. Dwight knew this to be untrue that
It was he himself who induced Spencer to get
the lease, and that his motive In charging this
fraudulent conduct as Mr.. Hall describes II, 10
the Browns was revenge, because Stewart
Brown surrendered Mr.. Dwight into the hands
CT the Sheriff at time when he was his bail in
q case of debt, and that Mr.. Dwight was incar-
cerated In Eldridge street jail
The defence set up by Mr.. Stoughton Is that
the matter to which exception is taken by the
Browns is not material to the pleadings, and
therefore does not constitute perjury In law;
that II was sworn To on information and belief,
In the ordinary legal mode In defending suit
in court of justice, and that II cannot be shown
that Dwight knew II to be false; that the wit
nesses for the prosecution have proved IL to be
true, for the Messrs. Brown, whether they
desired TO procure the control of the road or
not, did actually get possession of it; that the
Spencer lease was drawn up by their lawyer,
Mr.. Potter, at Stewart Browns direction, and
the assignment OF II made In the same way; that
the lease Is not fraudulent, having been adjudl-
Gated upon by the Supreme Court of Illinois
and declared valid; that the answer was drawn
up for Mr.. Dwight by lawyer in such condi-
ton Of mind o. 10 border on insanity-as admit.
ted by himself-the drawing Of the answer post
poned until the very last day when II could be
served In the cause on which Dwights home
and property depended, and signed in great
haste, Dwight himself demonstrating with his

YACHTING TO SOM PURPosE.-It IL pretty
generally conceded that our wonderful regatta
the other day, was nothing moro than chill
dren's frolic. There was no wind, there were
no waves to test the sea-going capacities Of the
several yachts, and the comparative sesmauship
and nautical discipline of which each IL pos
sessed. The whole affair, from beginning to
end, was, indeed, very tame, and would have
been exceedingly fat, according to the most re-
liable accounts, but for the oysters and cham
payne. But why can't we get up something
here that will rival or surpass the memorable
race of that famous yacht America around the
Isle of Wight! Why mott What is there to
prevent our spirited young gentlemen Of the
Yacht Club of New York from organizing q
race around the entire circumference of Long
Island starting from and coming in at Hobo
kent Suppose, for instance, they give us q
trial of wind and bottom over this course be-
tween the swift.footed Julia and the sure and
long-winded Rebecca, taking the weather,
winds, waves, Gains and storms as they may
come. The professors Of the turf would set
down the late general affair as quarter stretch
scrub race and they would say that many a
quarter horse, in such q run, would show of
handsomely, that would be left out of sight in q
four mile pull and repeat, for the best two out
of three. What say then, our young men Of
the Yacht Club to q special race of two or more
of their crack vessels around the breezy circum-
ference of Long Islands

The WAR QUEsTIoN.-It Is somewhat remark
able that, while the leaders of the republican
party in the United States Senate-Seward
Hale and Wilson-have been among the most
clsmorous for war with England in defence
of the national honor, the leading organs of the
same party here should be denouncing the bare
idea of such war as something "unchristian,
inhuman and immoral" to the last degree. But
the truth is that nobody believes in the exist.
ing probability of q war with England
everybody considers the whole of this sgi.
tstion of the subject as involving
vast amount of humbug and stuff for
Buncombe. And 60 II does. There will be no
war with England this time. Every man who
remembers the terrible epoch Of "ffty-four
forty or hgtt,r can have no doubt upon the
subject. The views of Mr.. Mason, Chairman on
Foreign Relations of the Senate, settle the ques-
ton He is considerably behind Messra Seward,
Douglas, Toombs, Hale and Wilson; but II Is
very likely that he knows more Of the upshot Of
this war question than all these belligerent gen.
tlemen put together. Let then, all our fright
ened old fogies Of the peace party take cup Of
warm tea, 60 TO bed, and make themselves per.
fectly easy. The war may be considered Is
having blown over.

outrages were confined 10 two hostile bands Of
fierce bandtti, Me one headed by Capt Hamll.
ton. pro-slavery, and the other by Capt Mont
gomery, no slavery. They came into COLI
son rather unexpectedly TO the latter party,
and the consequence was that some ten or q
dozen Of them were rather unceremoniously
killed and wounded Had both parties been
exterminsted In the encounter the people Of
Kansas would have had occasion to be very
thankful And this We believe, Is the whole
matter In nutshell The Kansas agitation is
played out.

ing old and not likely to accept diminution of

Here we see abundant reasons why the French
