Sickles was acquittcd-his trial disgrace
to law. and burning shame to respectable
citizens. Such results are both license aud
bribe for crime, and reform is as much needed
in the Judiciary, as in anything that exists
among men. This remark applies TO all the
grades from the national tribunal to the court
of the humble Justice-for we believe wrong
is done oftener than right, and especially
through the higher grades.

Tribute to BusbueII

Simeon Bushnell, the last of the noble
band of Oberlin men, was released from the
Cleveland Jail on Monday. He was escorted
to the depot with band of music and a mul-
titude of citizens. The procession carried a
banner inscribed:
THE oBBRLIN AND WELLINGTON REscUERS:
Creation's NobIeman.
Bushnell, LANssrsN, PECK,
Liberty, Justice, Rieht.'
At Oberlin, grand welcome awaited him.
A military company proceeded to that town,
and magnificent picnic was had, and all the
people rejoiced. 1t was glorious time. 1t
was good to be there.

The inhabitants petitioned against it they

A Russian WolfHunt.

We translate the following story from a late
number of NJ Alex. Dumas newspaper It is
an extract from one of his letters from st Peters
burg:
"Wolf hunting and bear hunting are the ia
vorite pleasures of the Russians. Wolves are
hunted in this way in the winter, when the
wolves being hungry are ferocious. Three or
four huntsmen, each armed with double barrel
gun, get into troika, which is any sort of a
carriage drawn by three horses-its name being
derived from its team, and not from its FORM
The middle horse trots with his head hanging
down. and he is called the Snow Eater The
two others have only one rein, and they are
fastened to the poles by the middle of the body,
and gallop, their heads free-they are called the
Furious. The troika is driven by sure coach
man. if there is sure coachman. A pig is tied
to the rear of the vehicle by rope or a chain
(for greater security, twelve yards long. The
pig is kept in the vehicle until the hunt is to
take place when he is taken out and the horses
started. The pig not being accustomed to this
gait, squeals, which soon degenerate into lamen-
tations. His cries bring out one wolf, who gives
the pig chase, then two wolves then three wolves,
then ten then fifty wolves, all posting as fast as
they can go after that poor pig, fighting among
themselves for the best places, swapping and
striking at the poor pig at every opportunity,
who squeals with despair. These squeals of
agony arouse all the wolves in the forest, within
circuit of three miles, and the troika is followed
by an immense flock of wolves. 1t is now a
good driver is indispensable The horses have
an instructive horror of wolves, and go almost
crazy they run as fast as they can go.
The huntsmen fire as fast as they can load !;
there is no necessity to take any aim. The pig
squeals-the horses neigh-the wolves howl
the guns rattle, it is a concert to make Mephis-
tophees Jealous AS long as the driver COM
mands his horses, fast as they may be running
away, there is no danger. But, if he ceases to
be master of them. if they balk, if the troika is
upset, there is no hope. The next day, after,
or week afterwards, nothing will remain of the
party but the wreck of the troika the barrels Of
the guns, and the larger bones of the horses,
huntsmen, and driver.
Last winter Prince Repnine went on one OF
these hunts, and and it came very near being his
last hunt He was on a visit with two of his
friends to one Of his estates near the steppe,
and they determined to go on wolf hunt
They prepared large sleigh in which three per-
sons could move at ease, three vigorous horses
were PUT into it, and they selected for driver
a man born in the country, and thoroughly ex-
perienced in the sport Every huntsman had a
pair of double-barrel guns and one hundred and
fifty ball cartridges. 1t was night when they

upon the spirit, nor what doubts had room at
the course of Divine Providence
Just then little feet were heard, and my child
ran gaily to my extended arms. Catching the
playful spirit ofmy girl, seized her in my hands
and held her over the ratings as if to let her
fall Astonished at her want of fear, asked,
"What, not afraid Why don't you cry p
Won't I let you fall ?"
!" No, papa, you love me so dearly |" was her
instant reply.

that fathers love should let fall the child who
lies smiling in his arms How, then, can the
Heavenly father let fall the children who trust
in Him? Every doubt is rebuked, and every
dark foreboding put to the blush, by the lesson
which child has utterd Are we not she sons
of God and is our future destiny too sublime
for comprehension, so that it Goth not appear
yet what we shall be and shall we fear to be
passive in our Fathers arms? Does he not lovs
us too dearly to let US fall !? With any adequate
idea of our relation to God as his adopted ones,
can we justify one doubt, can we harbor one fear
as to the future ? If God is our Father, does.

US? Will he not make all things work together

Power of the Bible.

A little girl had been attacked With severe

was taken to an eminent oculst, who pronounced
her incurable. She wished to know what the
doctor had said about her state, and her mother
told her what he said What, mother 2p

mother, nor my father O.! how shall | bear

Nothing seemed to yield her the slightest COM
fort till her mother, taking pocket Bible from
the table, placed it in her hands "What is
this, mot herr? inquired the Gisconsolate girl
" 1t is the Bible my child" Immediately
score of its most consolatory passages presented
themselves to her mind She paused, turned
her poor benighted, eye-balls toward the ceiling,
while an angelic expression played on her count
enance, and then, as if filed with the Holy Spirit
breathed forth in an impassioned, but scarcely
audible whisper" Thy aoill be done on earth
as 1T as an Heauen."
