A CRAZY MAN AND FUNNY JUsTICH.-This
morning we saw q worrant, issued BY Justice Jno.
II, Johnson, which bore upon its face the charge
Dennis Donovan, had committed adultery with
fifteen men In open daylight. This ih certainly q
novel allegation, and as ludicrous as novel. The
guilt attached to adultery per n 10 just a. great In
shut as in open Daylight Tho warrant Argues
primo Jdcia the opinion that adultery in open day
light, as adultery considered, was far worse than
il prseticed At other times. The guilt OF adultery
carries with It the idea Of candestine act on the
part OF the adulterer and adulteress. The commits
places, where no Intrusion by Aggrieved parties il
possible. II done, however, IN open daylight,
where not only the parties aggrieyed, but every
person, can see, the opinion might well be hAr-
bored that no adultery At all was committed; for
what husband would be the spectator to the vio-
l.tion OF hi, own nuptial couch yorttortf Adult
mitted In open daylight, for II gives the parties
sggrieyed chance to have their grievances re-
dressed
But, above and beyond all this, the warrant
charges the woman with adultery with fifteen
men. lhis Is the circumstance that makes the
charge extremely ludicrouH This 10 Mormonibm
reversed fifteen men in open daylight commit
ting adultery with one woman. We wonder II the
justice sat down b. the willows and wept when
10 presented Of heart-rending tragedy and side
cracking comedy being extracted from the same
Incident. Yet such a warrant was issued, and the
| reputation OF . woman who towers above sus'
| picion 10 involved. The husband, In making such
an absurd complaint, If he had sane mind In a
sane body, was surely testing the sanity OF the
justice.
Suffice It 10 say that the lady whose character
was thus SO basely subjected to imPutAtion, wal

tFrom the Cincinnati Gazette OF ThursdAy.l

SIGFL's WAGON TRAIN SAFE.-The telegraph
again informs us that sigel's wagon train is
safe. We are sorry to hear it. Sigels wagon
train has been nuisance wherever 1t has been
put. Like sore finger, 1t is always in the
way. The joke of correspondents and nuisance
of soldiers-it would be blessing to be re.
lieved of 1t. OF course 1t is valuable, but then
when anything becomes bother, we are better
of without 1t. There Is no calc culating the
nounced Its safety. But the pestiferous thing
is continually in jeopardy. Like some men,
who are always sick but never die, sigel's
wagon train is always In danger, but never
lost. 1t has more lives than cat. 1t Is said
now to be In Baltimore; there may 1t stay, and
may we not be annoyed by stories of It's peril
any more.-N o. True Della, July 2l.

HARRIsBuRo, July 3l-10 p. m.-when Gen.
Averill reached Chambersburg, the flames had
obtained such a headwsy as to render 1t impos-
sible for his men to stay their progress. The
word "onward" rang along his line.
Tho rebels hurried over the 81. Thomas road
toward McConnelsburg, but the rear Of their
ratresting column could not fail to distin euish
the approach OF Averill; 80 they were pro-
vented from committing any deed OF violence.
Averill came laundering after them, he en-
terlng one side of McConnelsburg and the in.

men that the rebels took a westerly direction

Many distinguished Union men are also
there, prominent among them Gov. Curtin,

A report was current here In the early
part Of the afternoon that the PENNSYLVANIA
railroad at Mt. Union had been cut by the
rebels. This is since proven untre.
The railroad to Chambersburg is In running

reached that locality.
During the day rumor was current al
Chambersburg that a large rebel force had

The Most Rev. Martin John spalding, D. D.,

Rev. Mr.. Dubriel, and Rev. Thomas Foley, OF
Baltimore.
The installation took place at the Cathedral
yesterday morning, at II O'Clock, in the pres-
ence of one of the largest audiences ever as
sembled in that edifice, while thousands were
unable to gain admittance within its doors.
At the appointed hour procession was formed
at the Episcopal mansion, In Charles street,
which passed around through Mulberry street
to Cathedral street, and entered the church
while the band played a grand march.
The procession consisted of nearly all the
clergymen of the diocese, who appeared In
their robes, chanting the "Te Detim," and,
passing up the central aisle of the church, en-.
tered the sanctuary. The new Archbishop was
then conducted to his chair by Very Rev. DR..
Coskery, administrator of the diocese. The
Pope's letter of appointment was then read,
and Bishop Spalding ascended the high altar
and gave benediction. Grand high mass was
then celebrated by Rev. Mr.. Wood, assisted by

CEREMONIES ON THE DEATH OF THE PoPB.-
A great deal is said about the approaching
death of the Pope. The following are the cere-
monies which will be observed on the occa-
sion; When the death of the Pope is announced,
the Camerlingo Cardinal repairs to the Pontif-
cal palace, not to install himself, as certain
writer's say, but to prove the death officially.
He ascertains this without the assistance OF
physicians, by striking three times upon the
forehead of the Pope with a hammer. If, at
the third summons, he receives no reply, death
is certain. Science would not be satisfied with
80 expeditions aformallty-sho who recognizes
no other infallible signs of death than the de.
composition of the body but science has moth.
Ing to do with mere ceremonies of etiquette.
After the death OF the Pope has been attested,
the great bell of the Capitol sounds thirty-threG
strokes, to proclaim to Rome and the Catholic
world that the chuAch has no longer pastor.
This bell never sounds except on solemn occa.
sions, such as the death of the Pope and the
opening of the Carnival.

pondent north Of the James river, under date
of Near Deep Bottom, July 2s, says prisoners
report that when 1t was discovered that the
ID corps was north Of the James river, the
enemy Immediately commenced pouring in re-
Inducements both from Petersburg and f1esf
Richmond. Gen. Leo was taken entirely BY
surprise, and was obliged 20 use the utmost
dispatch to rush troops to tho threatened
points.
During last night the enemy continued 10
strengthen the naturally strong positions he
held, which, In the morning, were found, to-
gether with the strong reinforcements he had
received, too strong to sssail. All the roads
TO Richmond, between the James river and
White Oak Swamp, were strongly defended
also.
Last evening Merritt's brigade of cavalry
drove Hampton's rebel cavalry from an i'm
portant point on the Central road, which he
held until ten O'Clock, next day, when the
rebels came out with three bridages OF infantry,
making q steady assault upon Merritts force,
who had dismounted. Falling back In good
order to their reserve brigade, both delivered
a destructive volley and then charged, when
the rebels broke and Aed In confusion, leaving
their dead and wounded on the field.
At the same time Gen. Gregg's division be-
came engaged at another point with superior
force, and the fighting became very severe.
Davies brigade received the largest share. He
was obliged to yield portion Of the ground,
and lost one gun, but he soon rallied, checked
the advance OF the rebels, and finally drove
them back.
Gen. Kautz took possession Of Malvern Hill,
which had been abandoned by the rebels to
protect one of the Richmond roads,
Gen. Gibbons, after the repulse Of the rebels,
relieved the cavalry with his infantry, skir-
mishIng with the enemy, and at night took up
position.
