The BoMpARDMESr OF CAFE HAYTIEs.--
The outrageous conduct of H. b. NJ. s. Bull
dog, which, on the 23d Of October last, at
tackled Cape Haytien on her own account,
bombarded the harbor and town, ran aground,
and was finally abandoned and blown up by
her captain and crew, will be remembered.
The last foreign msis brings us news that
Capt. Wake has been court martialed-not
for his shameful violations Of international
law and barbarous assault on an unofiending
city, but for losing his ship by wan, OF sea-
manship. He was found guilty on this charge,
reprimanded. and dismissed from command.
His defsnse is curiosity. He alleges that
he had qusrreled with the Hsytien command
or, had been personally insulted by the Hay
ten Government, that he could got no satis-
faction for these injuries, and "could stand
it no longer, so he made up his mind to take
satisfaction on his own responsibility"

RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.

We learn that Rev. j. II. Woodward, OF Iras-
burg. has gone to Wisconsin upon an orgent invi-
taton to preach a few Sabbaths to a congregation
there. The result will doubtless be that he will
receive call, andwil accept it thus leaving IrAs-
burgh again without minister.
A series of meetings have been in progress for
more than three weeks in the Freewll Baptist
Church in Sutton, of which Rev. e. G. Heath is
pastor. The number OF hopeful conversions is
nearly forty, and the interest appears to be in
creasing. We also learn that there is quite re-
ligious awakening in the town of Wheelock.
THE Fitchburg Reveille states that an interest
ing and extensive revival is going on in that town,
and also in Ashburnham.
REV. G. |. BARD was dismissed from the Con.
gregational Church at Waterford last Tuesday at
his own request. II is the old story of inadequate
support or, in plain Language, he was starved
out His nominal salary has been $500, and his
family consists Of five persons.
INCREASED religious interest is reported in the
congregation of Rev. Mr. Wright, Bakersfield.
RANDOLPH people have given their pastor do
nations to the amount of 5000.

A WooD SUrr.-There was an interesting law
in this village last week. o. G.. Hale, ESQ,
of Waterford. drew a quantity of wood to one
Cokeley, of this place. for which he was to pay S5
per cord. Two different wood surveyors were
brought on to measure the wood, and both made
it about two cords less than the seller did Mr.
Hale claimed pay for the amount according TO his
measure. while Cokeey rendered pay for only the
surveyed amount Meantime Cokely had used 4
cords of ths wood, but Hale claimed he had used
81 cords. and took the residue of the wood from
Cokeley's door Cokeley then brought an action
Of trespass against Hale fer taking the wood away,
and made his writ returnable before Justice How
ard at the office Of w A. Pierce Esq Hale then
brought his action for the wood which Cokely had
used, made returnable at the East village two DAYS
before Cokeley's action was made returnable here
Whereupon Cokeley yielded to Hales demands,
and rendered him 81 per cord for the wood he
had used, accepting Hale's measurement of 81 in
stead of 10 cords. Ga the trial of Cokeey's case,
the jury allowed Cokeey the price claimed by
Hale, and estimated the quantity according to
Hales measurement as we understand. In other
words Hale bought his own wood al 90 per cord
more than be sold it for, and paid for some two
cords more than there actually was. So the bitter
was bitten.-Ib.
