Appeal of an American Church to English
AbOIEliOnfs1s.

Some time last summer paragraph was copied
from some of the English newspapers, stating that
Miss TOMBSTONE had made her appearance in Eng
land for the purpose of collecting money to sustain
DR.. CHEEvER's church in the city of New York. As
a general thing the statement was entirely dscred-
tied. The New York Times however, says:
We repubsh from the British Standard a letter
from DIR. Cheever himself to Mr.. Sturgeon, which
leaves no room for further doubt In his letter DR..
CheeVer represents his church as a missionary es-
tabIishment for the dissemination Of Abolitionism
among the New York heathon. and as in danger Of
being Immediately crushed and destroyed without
pecunary aid. He speaks of himself as an apostle of
the only true faith-as preaching just such sermons
as are especially needed here at the present mo-
meut and as the only clergyman who /" freely,
fully and persistently' proclaims the Word OF God
on this subject in New York.
He considers it almost miracle thsta thorough
Abolition orthodox church such as mine is should
have been sustained here so long, especially consid
ering the terrible conflict which ne has been com
PEELED to maintain with prejudice, fashion, wealth.
power, anger, wrath and malice )" but is quite sat
isfed that this miracle can be continued no longer
| without more money. And the more wealthy
portions of his own congregation have left him, and
he get no further assistance at home he author

Hes.,A certain Doctor Hall is giving ex-
hibitions in New Orleans, in which he in
duces persons to believe all sorts of possible
and impossible things:
Among orhers, he recently caused Mr..
r. E. Smith to believe he had made the trip
to California, and succeeded in amassing
$4,000; he allowed the influence to re-
main upon the gentleman until the follow
ing morning, when he presented check for
that amount at the bank. The Teller at
first handed him box which was supposed
to contain the money, but afterwards took
it back, assuring him that DR.. Hall had
overdrawn his account The still humbug-
ged individual hurried at once to Concert
Hall and pitched into the Doctor with
sword cane. 1t was with some difficulty
that the magician escaped, but Smith hav-
ing been somewhat quoted, after terrible
recital of his sufferings in California, al
lowed the Doctor to come near enough to
remove the impression. His mind was still
in confusion afterwards; the whole affair
appearing like q dream, and explanations
were necessary to make known to him the
real circumstance. OF course he was de-
lighted to know that he hadn't gone through
the hardships, and didn't have the money.
The report doesn't state this, but we presume
it was the case,

Walla on the Columbia river to Fort Ben
ton on the Missouri river, he will leave this
city next week for the scene of his labors.
The road will pass through wild and
hitherto, UNEMPLOYED region, and when COM
pleted will prove of great advantage to the
immigration into Oregon and Washington.

Judge Holt had not to-day resigned the Of

R9.The Chicago Tribune relates the fol-
lowing strange story of presentiment of
death
A young Scotchman living in Pleasant
Valley, four or five miles from the city, has
been for long time engaged to young
lady in Scotland, at his old home. On the
9Th of January he came down at the usual
hour to breakfast, looking so serious as to
attract the attention of the family with whom
he boarded, and in answer to their inquiries
he said that his betrothed Jane, in Scot
land, had died that morning Ridicule nor
reason could remove the impression. He
called her attention to the date, and said
the news would come to verify what he
said. A few days since letter was receiv-
ed, stating that the young lady died on the
9Th of January, at 10 o'clock, A. NJ. She
was dead at the early hour when he made
the announcement, allowing for difference
| in time.
