A case came up in Justice Court
on Monday last, which afforded some
amusement to officers and spectators,
and gave temporary relief to the vul-
gar dullness of matters pertaining to
dollars and cents, or the investigation
of unmitigated, stolid roguery, gener-
ally characterizing proceedings had
before His Honor. The particulars
as related to us are somewhat as
follows:
"About the year 1860, Joe. Denny
espoused Mary Bishop, and the twain
thus made one flesh lived happily to-
gether, until after the breaking out of
the rebellion. Then, fired with pa
triotism, or induced By large bounties,
or attempted as a substitute, or actu-
ated by some other noble emotion,
Joe enlisted into the service of his
country. With what valor he served:
history saith not, but it is recorded
that he was taken prisoner, and upon
being paroled on promising not to
again take up arms against the Con
federacy, made his way to that land
of refuge, that haven of rest, Canada,
and from thence to New Brunswick
! where he lived safe from wars alarms
Being of a domestic turn, and think
; ing it not good for man to live alone

DEDICATIoN.-The dedication of the
Baptist Church, in Albany, took place
on Wednesday, Nov. It'll. Though so
late in the season that cold weather
and storm might with degree of GER
tainty be expected, they were favored
with just such a beautiful day as we
have in the glorious "Indian Summer"
of September. A goodly number as
sembled, and the quiet and decorum
which universally prevailed, bespoke
for the congregation that they were
of the higher class of society, and a
high degree Of religious feeling was
manifest. L h e dedication sermon
which was a most excellent one, and
well appreciated, was preached by
Rev. n. P. Foster, of Montpelier, from
the words, worship God" Rev. %
8. Quite a number of Ministers were
present, among whom were Brothers
Norcross, Hadley, Hovey, Putnam
Dutton, Sarlis, and the presiding pas
tor. Sweet and soul-stirring music
was rendered by the well trained
choir, under the supervision of Prof
Hartman, and no organ ever filled
a church with more melodious strains
than were called forth from theirs b,
the organist, Miss Katie McClary.
The evening following the dedica
ton Mr.. Foster gave a lecture upol
his travels in the Holy Land, whicl
was full OF interest.-Erpress.
