We notice that new and splendid weekly,
entitled "The Methodist" has lately been
started in New York. It's intended to be loyal
10 tho NJ. H. Church, but is to be conducted
on more liberal and extended scale than the
regular church papers. In short 1t proposes
to bc cmphaticOly the organ Of the great
membership of the NJ. f. Church, and to be
open to the calm and temperate discussions Of
the religious questions Of the day Ample
means, it seems, have been provided to place
it on a permanent basis aud under the Edi'
toria control Of Drs. Crook and McClintock,
and host of able writer's of the Church, il
will exert a wide influence.

CURIOUS WILL OF SOUTHERN
PLANT Err --- AFFECTION FOR A
DOG

PLANT EH Afr Fo1S n
DOG
The following extraordinary story is
in circulation. An aged gentleman, a
planter in one of the Southern States,
has just died, leaving fortune of $780,
900, which is to be disposed of accord
ing to the provisions of his will, and
that document is as follows:
I bequeath all my effects to the chill
dren of my brother, on the following
conditions: DESTROYS of marking my
sense of the service which my Newfound
land dog rendered men in saving my life
one day when l was drowning, and wish
ing also to provide for my housekeeper,
[ appoint my said housekeeper nurses
tutor, and mother to my dog. My natu-
raj heirs shall, on this account, pay to
her, out Of my entire fortune, a daily
sum in the following manner: The daily
payment shall continue so long as the
dog shall live, but not one second longer.
During the first year after my decease,
or for so much Of it as the dog shall live,
my uOuSGkS6p0I oudll lOOOAfS po o"J }
the second year she shall receive $40 a
day; the third year SIS; and SO on until
the death of the dog. In the course Of
the month in which the dog shall die,
there shall be paid to my housekeeper
for every day of the dog existence S125:
On the day of his death she shall be paid
per hour of the dogs life, $3.50. In the
last hour of his life, she shall receive for
every minute that he lives, 1915; and for
every second of the last minute, $500.
My notary is charged with superintend-
ing the carrying out Of my will
This eccentric gentleman appears to
have entertained for his dog sentiments
similar to Byron's. What the heirs will
do or think we cannot say, but we shall
be much surprised if that dog lives many
hours longer. Supposing him to- die at
SO minutes and So seconds after 5 o'clock
on the Both day of the month, the sum
to be paid to the housekeeper will be:
30 days at S125, $3.50; II hours at
$3.50, $3.50; SO minutes at 1886, s22,-
125; SO seconds, at $500, S29,50O-

Capture Of n Slavers

capture O1 n SAaVC
The slave-ship Erie, lately capture on
the African coast, with 997 negroes on
board, by the United States steamer
Mohican, arrived at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard on the Sd inst, bringing home
Lieut. J. w. Dunnington, Past -Midship-
man H D. Todd, and prize crew of ten
men. The E,'te's officers supposed the
Mohican to be an English man-of war,
and hoped, by hoisting the American
flag, to evade examination. The negroes
were landed at Monrovia, where they
were put under the charge of Mr.. Legs.
Twenty-nine of the poor slaves died
principally of fever and dysentery, caused
it is supposed, by Congo water, on the
passage, and one fell overheard. They
were perfectly naked when taken, and
those who lived were delighted with the
disposition made ofthem. They clapped
their hands sang, shouted, and raised a
jolly time generally. The officers and
men of the Mohican, who escorted the
slaves to Monrovia, describe their suffer
ings during the middle passage as posi-
lively revolving. They would not un-
dertake similar duties for any considera-
ton. The Erie was boarded in the
Congo River by the British steamer
Spitfre, previous to receiving slaves
She was only seventeen hours from the
slave wharf when the Mohican seized
her. No other craft was ever captured
on the African station with so many
negroes. Nathaniel Gordon, captain,
and William Warren and David Hall,
mates, of the SLAYER, were undergoing ex-
animation before United States Com
missioner Morell, on Monday and Tues
day. Lieut. Dunnington gave his testi-
mony at great length, describing all the
circumstances of the capture. The ex-
animation, at the Gloss Of the proceedings
on Tuesday, was adjourned till Friday
