THE sENTENCE.

On Thursday evening, on the re-as-
sembling of the Court, the Moderator
announced the verdict of guilty. DR..
Prestley was then brought to the bar of
the Court, when the Moderator Rev. S
b. Reed, with deep feeling, read the
sentence, which was in substance that
the Rev. James Prestley was de-
posed from the ministry and excommu-
nicated from the Church.
When the sentence was pronounced,
DR.. Prestley arose, and said:
"Mr. Moderator-Am / to understand
that l am denied the privileges of the
Church :"
The Moderator" You are"
AS soon as this answer was given DR..
Prestiny sunk into his seat as if driven
there by blow. He covered his face
with his hands, and gave vent to his
feelings in audible tears.
A member of the Court moved an adj
journment with prayer, suggesting that
the erring brother shonld be especially
remembered therein.
The motion prevailed, and the Moder-
ator appointed an intimate friend of
long standing of the deposed to make
the prayer. At that point of the sup
plicatiOn, when the unfortunate man
was specially remembered, the scene
was one Of deep interest, all present
being in tears.
At the conclusion Of the prayer, the
long protracted and extremely painful
proceedings, covering period of more
than two weeks, were ended.
The case will now go to the civil
Court on an application for divorce
by Mrs. Prestiey.

Are Eyes Expre..iouIes.r

They play at game in Paris in which
certain members of a company are en-
tircly concealed, with the exception of
their eyes-everything is hidden except
the eye itself-and then it is the busi-
ness of the rest of the company to iden-
tify the concealed person simply by their
eyes. One who had played at this game
told me, says correspondent, the diff
Guilty of such Identification is exceed
ingly great, and that he himself was un-
able to find ont his own wife when thus
concealed. More than this, it happened
that on one occasion lady celebrated
for her beauty, and especially distin-
guished for her fine eyes, la Duchesse de
NJ, was drawn into engaging in this
pastime, there being only one other per-
son hidden besides herself, and this an
old gentleman not celebrated for his
eyes. The pair were duly concealed
and bandaged up, with nothing but
their eyes visible, and then the person.
respective eyes belonged was mrlbuucatc
Without moments hesitation, she
walked up straight to where the old
gentleman was rlaood, and oNUlained,
"Ah, there is no one but Ia Duchesse de
NJ. who can boast such eyes as these"
She had made her choice, but it was the
WRONG one,

why New England Wants n "strong
GOycrnmcnt.o

Governor Seymour, in recent speech,
thus alludes TO the financial policy of
New England-a policy which tends to
'make the rich richer and the poor poor
err"
Not only is the public debt, which
pays nothing to support the government,
held mainly in one corner of our coun-
try, but the banks, which have a right
to make the currency for all the States,
are placed and owned in a large degree
by the Eastern and Middle States. Not
only our debt, but our currency is sec
tionalized. In the report of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury on the subject,
made last session to Congress, it was
shown of the national bank notes then
issued, Massachusetts, had S5l for every
person within her borders; Connecticut,
SAL, and Rhode Island 81; while in the
great commercial States of the West
Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan
the proportion is in Ohio only s. per
head; in Illinois, S.; in Michigan, 81;
and in Wisconsin, So per head of the
population. So that whatever profits
are made out of bank circulation, by far
the largest proportion thereof goes to
these New England States. The num-
ber and wealth of the people fthe great
States thus left with little or no means
of getting currency, except as borrowed
from more favored sections, makes this
a glaring evil.

A Girl of Nine Years Shoot. u Robber.

The Ouachita (La.) Telegraph, VI the
LIST. has the following:
Few families have ever been placed in
such trying circumstances as that OF Mr.
Cushman's, on Thursday night last, to
be relieved so unexpectedly and by such
an exhibition of heroism and self-pOSSes-
sion as We are about to record. Some
time about midnight Mrs. Cushman was
aroused by the barking of the yard dog.
Getting out of bed and seizing repeater
which was at the head of her bed, she
was awaiting developments, when the
noise of whispering was heard. Ina few
seconds, efforts were being made Mt three
different windows to burst open the
blinds. Mrs. G. twice endeavored to
discharge the repeater through one OF
the blinds, but it refused to fire. Della,
a little daughter, nine years old, had in
the meantime been aroused, and she
had gathered the other of the two re-
peaters which had been placed at the
head of the bed. While her mother
was exchanging her refractory weapon
for shotgun which was in the room,
little, Della had taken her stand at one
of the windows. They were too slow
for little Della, so forcing the muzzle be
tween the folding blinds, and guessing
at her aim, she fired. The rObber h,d
received lis reward. Groans and NUT
terings took the place Of busy prepa
rations to rob and probably otherwise
outrage a peaceable family. The rob-
hers gathered round their wounded COM
nanion and bore him off, it isnot known
whether dead or alive. Unfortunately,
II is not known who the robbers were;
even their color is unknown.

PoT AND KErTLE.-The sweeping Re-
publican victory in Chicago should for
ever stop the mouths of the Radicals
from twitting Democrats with the
squalor and vice which are said to
prevail in certain wards of New York
where the Democratic majority is irwin
chile. By the admission Of Republican
papers of Chicago, that city is
constantly sinking deeper and deep
er in iniquity, and is aleady,
in proportion TO its size, the
equal of any other city in the Union in
deeds of lawlessness, debauchery and
crime. With the increase of vice there,
the strength of Radicalism has also
gone forward. Heretofore, the Demo
Gratis have been ably 10 carry some Of
the wards; but at the late election,
they all went for the Radicals Hence
forth, when New York is spoken Of, just
remember Chicago, the fast city of the
Union ,-Plaia Dealer.

AFFRAY In CHICAGO.
nurdcr-An Attempted
sa.assiu IN linn.

= ssassin ntion.
From the Chicago Republican, Nov. l3.l
A most cowardly, yet bold and dclib-
crate attempt Mt murder was committed
it was an attack upon an unarmed and
and defenscless man; but bold, as it was
done III open day, ana III the presence OF
many witnesses. At about half past
three o'clock in the afternoon, Jerry
Welsh, q well known confidence opera
tor, entered the st. Charles saloon, on
Market street, near Lake, and,
after drinking, sat down on the
sofa and engaged in a short CON
yersation with some one. He had
been there but a few moments when
John Supple, n not less notorious thief
and confidence man, entered with re-
volver in his hand, and walking up to
Welch, deliberately shot him i'll the
breast. Welch shouted "murder" and
ran out of the saloon, followed by Sup
pie. who fired two more shots at him.
both of which took effect, and "elch
fell on the street, near the corner OF
Lake and Clark. The noise of the first
discharge attracted the attention Of
Officers O'D0nnell and McCabe, who
rushed at once to the spot, and secured
Supple as he was attempting to fire the
fourth time. When arrested, the rascal
offered no explanation or apology
for his dastrdly act, but quiet
ly submitted and was taken to
the Central Station, where he is now
confined. Although the shots were fired
at close range, none of them inflicted
serious injury. The first ball took cf-
feet in the upper right breast, and went
scarcely more than skin deep. The
second entered the back, near the neck,
and passing upward, lodged in the left
side of the neck, just under the skin,
and the third entered the left side,
struck a rib, and glanced around to the
back. making only a flesh wound.
Although these wounds can cause but
little injury or suffering, the man Is
not expected TO live.
The wounded man Welch, as many of
our readers will remember, some three
years ago killed a man named Collins in
a saloon near the Madison street bridge.
He was tried and sentenced to be hang
Fed. but afterwards was granted new
hearing, which resulted in his being sent
TO the penitentiary for term of eigh-
teen months. John Supple and the
murdered man Collins were intimate
friends, and it is said were partners in
the confidence business" When Sup
pie heard that Welch had gotten off so
easily, il is alleged he took a solemn
oath that he would kill the murderer of
his friend if he ever got an opportunity.
Welch's term expired few days since,
and true to his vow, Supple assaulted
him with deadly intent at the first OPP
portunity, which was yesterday after
noon.
