Gs-The following resolutions, adopted
unanimously by the Vestry OF St. James
Church, on Mondayeyening, are hand

Fl. COOPER and his Idly:

Church, Nanitos@c
Your committee, appointed to draft res
olutions expressive IF your feelings and
wishes in the mater relating with the
resignation of W. L. Cooper Rector of
St. James Church, would report the fol-
lowing:
Resolyed. That We very much regret
that Rev ". II. Cooper las concluded
to dissoIye his connection with St. James
Church.
Resolped, That he has been a faithful
and devoted minister during the time lie
has been with us, and hs employed all
his time and energies with view Of ad-
vancing the interests Of lis church and
parish, and that under his charge St
James Church has enpyed an unusual
amount of prosperity.
Resolged, That in the discharge Of his
duties, as such Rector, lie has had for his
chief object the advancement Of the inter.
ests of St. James Churca, and that he is
greatly beloved by his people for his de
pertinent to all, whethe high or low, ricb
or poor.
Resolged, That in estimating the los:
oc3as;onel BY The separation from our rec

from his family. That we recognize il
Mrs Cooper a most worthy christian lady
who lends an ear to all the needy aud sIf
fering, and has heart prompting her tC
act at all times for their relief, and aItho
the time is near at hand, when we shaI
be painfully separated from our Pastor

a Singular Case OF TEIstaEzuE,
EGseEat.ty.

The New ok lost gives the paItcu-
lars of a singular case Of mistaken identi
tv. Of recent occurrence, IN that city
Three weeks since, Mr.. +. A. Williams, a
wealthy omnibus proprietor, applied to
the cashier Of the Eorvalk (Ct) bank
for discount Of 5000 on a note having
three month"; to run. The Cashier, in re-
ply, suggested that if the note was alter
ed to two months, the money would be
forthcoming. The reply from the Cash
Ter, with the note, did not reach Mr..
Williams, but after laying several days in
the New York Postoilice, vas advertised,
and caI.el for by person representing
himself as Mr. Williams, who, it after
wards appeared, forthwith altered the note
to 10 two months, sent it to NorWaIk by
Adams Express. and obtained the money.
L was not long, however, before Mr. I
y. Williams sent another letter to the
Norwai5 bank, about his three months
note. This exposed the fraud, and the
investigation which followed by Mr.. Uol-
brook, postotlice agent, resulted in the az
rest Of one Henry Williams, a u4iikman, a
thck-set duIl-looking man.
10 was at once Identified by the Post
Office clerk who gives out advertised let
tiers, and also by tie clerk of Adams &
Co., who had the conversation in regard
to negotiation of the notes and further,
two experts in handwriting declared bis
writing and that of the alteration of the
notes sent 10 the NorwaIk bank to be the
same band. Thereupon the accused was

ed money, performed labor, OF furnished
materials upon the road, should he placed
upon the same footing Of security and safe
t., and especially did lie insist that tie
credit and character Of the Villages should
be guarded and protected, by the delivery
to them of the only security tie COMPANY
could give; the fist mortgage bonds at the
same rates he (Mr. Leups) took the same
for his own account, TO be returned when
the work went on, or in the event of tie
sale cf the road the Villages would retain
their interest in the property Of the road
when 50 sold. This programme arranged
by Mr. Reed, and attempted TO be carried
out By Mr.. Bronson and ourself to protect
the Stockholders. Villages and creditors,
were opposed by the present managers Of
the road. None Of the creditors but
Lepps received any Of the bonds of the
Company, and these were taken at fifty
cents on the dollar. When it was evident
the new organization did not intend to act
in good faith, when it was evident that
they designed to feather their own nests
at the expense Of the Stockholders and
creditors Of the Company and the Villages
| Of Menasha and Manitowoc, and as We
wished to have no part orlot in such treach-
cry and wholesale swirdle, the reprensen-
tatiyes of this Village dissolved tEeir con-
nect'on with the Company. As was an
ticipated the next we hear, Leups and
Joues without consulting with the Stock
holders or the Board, dig up their old
CuPons amounting to only &3,0l5, upon

CHEAP FARMS II THE WEsT.-IIorace
Greeley, in one Of his recent letters to the
TriJune, has the following as to the cheap
ness of farms in the West at the present
time:
| say emphatically to the Industrious
and frugal, who contemplate migration
from the East to the West you can
bring moderate amount of ready means
with you, the inducements for such migra-
ton were never greater than now. |
Judge that, in good hands, $500 will to-
day buy more land, or a quarter section
with better improvements, than 81 900
would have bought two or three wears ago
With $1,000 cash in hand you can buy a
pretty fair farm in any State west of Ohio
There is great abundance of land still
held at absurd prices, but there is enough
that will be sold, indeed, much of it that
n,"st be sold-at reasonable rates. Go a
little way from the railroads and the villa
ges, and You can buy good quarter sec
tons in almost any county, for the fair
value of the improvements already made
on them. No reasonable man ought to
wish them lower.

The purser reached the shore BIZ he line.
Capt. Dali vas the last to try the line
He lowered himself, and after being wash

the line, and swan ashore.
There were six passengers who refused
to take the line, and, as it happened, the
piece on which they stood broke loose,
and they came ashore in safety.

He replied, " | will try" He took the
quarter boat and, with two of his fremen

oFs to procure a crew to return to the
wreck, but was unable TO do so.
All the passengers say that they have

Dali, with certain death staring him in the
/ face for he could not swim a stroke

shore, which proved true. He not only
assisted to the very last moment in saving
! lives, but buoyed the treasure in bis charge
and threw it overheard, 80 that it will
probably be recovered. All this was done
in the full knowledge Of the fact he could
no be saved, for lie could not swim a
stroke, and it would seem made no attempt
to save himself through the aid of the line.
Ills conduct throughout was characterized
by high degree Of GOODNESS and heroism.
One Of the sailors cut horse loose
from the wreck, and hung to him till they
both came ashore.
There were fourteen dead bodies lying
on the beach yesterday morning.

\ correspondent in IIawesyil!e, Ky,

morning, about ten O'Clock, Ii. a. Dawson
notorious from his connection with the
Lowe affair, entered the store of G. B. &

ed with gunpow,ler, slugs and buckshot,
which he exploded, and the building, a
substantial brick one, was utterly demol

rendering the premises heap of ruins
Dawson carried the machine into the store

feelings of hatred and revenge against the

the terrible vengeance devised by Dawson
The explosion ensued, and Mr. Sterrett, G.
