"A test case c0nccrning the ritualistic
practices in the church Of England, has
been made up. on an appeal to the court
of Arches. Thc English papers call IT,
"The Great Devonshire Ritual Case and
its history is as follows: Httf
On the 2lst Of May, 1866, Mr.. Flamank,
one Of the churchwardens Of East Tcign@
mouth, Devon, made complaint to the bish-
op of Exeter, against the Rev. L. b. Simp-
son, perpetual curatc of the said parishs
touching certain practices in the perform
ance Of divine service in the church, In
consequence of which the bishop, on the
10Th Of June,3 1866. issued commission
under the church discipline act, to inquire
into the charges. .r... :. -.
Upon the case coming up for hearing be-
fore the commission, DR.. Dcane, cotfnsei
for Mr.. Simpson, took a preliminary legal
objection to the hearing Of the same, name
ly, that the offences were not charged to
have been committed within two years, &C.
cording to the provisions of the act, sec
tons 20 and 23. The commissioners how.
ever, overruled the objection, whereuporl
Mr.. Simpson admitted the facts as stated
in the complaint, and the depostions Of the
witnesses haying been taken, the commits.

The case was accordingly taken by let
a prelimi minary objection was taken to the
citation. Alter arguments on both sides,
DIR. Lushington overruled the objection,
with leave to Mr.. Simpson to appeal.
The charges against Mr.. Simpson are
FIVE in number L. That he had lights
on the communion table when they were
not required to give light. 2. That in the
administration Of the holy communion,
Immediately. before the prayer of conso-
erntinn, he, mixed water with the wine
3. That in saying the prayer OF consecra-
ton he raised the paten with both hands
over his head and the cup I'M like manner.
4. That when the aims collected at the Of.
feratory were brought to be placed on the
comnunion table he placed the same on o.
stool by the side of the table. 5. That ir
saying the last prayer of the morning and
evening Service he omitted the word "alI'
in the concluding sentence. It was object
ed to the proceedings by the queens advo~
cate, (Sir r. Philiimore) that the ommis--
sion of the averment that the offences had
taken place within two years was fatal
DR.. Lushington thought otherwise, and the
Rev. Mr.. Simpson appealed against the
decision. m .'aas ~ aisfi
The appeal came before the JUDICIAL CONF
mittee Of the privy council last month, and
judgment was delivered by the archbishop
Of York. He said their lordships did not
wish to hear the counsel for the respond
ents, as they were continuing offences
which were charged The objections Of
the appellant were groundless, and made
only for the purpose of delay. Under the
circumstances their lordships would ad-
wise her majesty that the appeal should be
dismissed with costs.
The case will therefore be renewed in
the court of arches. tr.t; ~
A Dog story.
Car. WArRous, of the Jackson Co. Ba,t-
ner, Black River Falls, Wis.,, gives one Of
us small touch, this week, which is so
friendly characteristic in geniality, humor
and pith, that we cannot keep it out of the
TINES. Its insertion here is proof ofa
largely developed Ego, but we get curses
enough to balance it, and so here goes.-
In explanation, lit may be said, that we
met WArRors in GAINESVILLE at the 1866
Wis. Editorial Convention, and both of rs
had the weakness to profess life-friend-
ship which no act of ours or his will eveE
disturb. His politics and our opinions are
prirate properties, and mortal or immor-
tai, as far as We are advised, cannot disturt
the titles. The Car. sent us his good look
ing photograph, and we sent hin, a .couliS
terfeit presentmcnt'' Of "PAr and the Dog
that bit him." ala iiis ii ~i'It ri s1aisHasI
1t is rare treat to ease back in the old
arm chair and read tho North Iowa TYmes.
Col. A. p. Richardson is head decorator,
and has q way of throwing things togeth-
er in an of-hand manner that cannot fail
to interest. His photograph is before us.
BY his side rests an honorary member Of
the Press--af white dog with dark spots.
There is not the least danger of getting the
two confounded, for the Col. is all rhite-
We are one of the Coloncl's friends, as is
that other dog-thc one with dark spots.
Is it presuming too much, COL, to say that
We have been friends ever since we met at
GAINESVILLE Guess not. Not so with the
spotted dog. The first time they met, the
dog didn't like the Colonel ace did. We

difference between us and the other dog
now wen plunge into history. Last fall,
or the early part Of winter, the Col. was
forced to let that dog close his delicate
mouth near bono in one of his hands, q
trick the dog has not learned toldo without
making places for his teeth in the fesh.-
The Col. got big bite, but the dog never
got the soushtfor bone. Time passed -
Rich rf1SOp md fho dor rooovoroI or
to say There was another meeting the
Col. displayed flag of truce the two met,
settled past difficulties, shook hands, and
ever since they have been warm friends
1t strikes us we've got the spotted dog we'll
sandwiched with editors and newspapers.
If he don't bite us the first time we meet,
Well ever pray. The North Iowa Times
is the best paper We have seen from tho
lIawkeyes. i
