THB CASE OF REV. DIR. TYNG-7he Low
Church Clergy Throic Dolrn the Gauntlet 10 the
Commsissioa.-The excitement created by the
case OF Rex. S. H. Tying. Jr., has not yet died
away in religious circles. The announcement
that the commission appointed by the standing
committee to investigate the charge against
him would not meet till September next. has
emboldened some OF the Low Church clergy to
throw down the gauntlet to the tribunal ap-
pointed to inquire If the complaint should be
tried. They are anxious, they state, to have
the question settled forever, which involves
the right OF an Episcopal minister to speak or
cfibiate in the edifices OF any Evangelical de-
nomination.: and they declare further; that in
case the proceedings against Mr.. lynch result
in trial. they will present certain members OF
the High Church wing for ritualistic practices.

even the standing committee of the diocese are

DECREASE OF LIFE VALUE IN EN- GLAND
One OF the boasts, and itself one of the stro ong.
est evidences Of modern civilization, has cen
the increased average duration of life. and
consequently life value, in all classes Of the
population. 1t would seem, however, from
some remarks in the British Medical Journal,
that we 10 lenger find ascending series in
the scale, but N ust look at q re verse mo oyement
at least as relates TO England A comparison
OF the two earlier Eng lish life tables with tt
latest which has just been elaborately calcu.
lated by DR.. Farr, show that the probabilities
OF duration of life at every age have decreased
between isal and 1854, the attest year tc which
the calculations extend. This decrease is
greatest at the age Of 20 to 40, the most active
and busy period Of existence. but in which IL
battle OF life is carried on with the greatest
eagerness and passion, and exhaustion Of the
faculties OF both body and mind. fourth life

1854, will be anXiously looked for. With the
present hopeful results from sanitary reform,

D8ATH AND RAIN.-Ratn, on the whole;
would seem to exert a kindly and healthy in.
fuence. There is nothing very deadly in it,
It may occasion catarrhs and rheumatic com.
plants. but these are durable with little m al.
agement and medicine. And we are to put 10
its credit the washing away of many OF tn.
most injurious causes of disease by a good
flushing OF the sewers. Summer diarrhpa
cholera, and typhoid fever would be likely 10
be greatly lessened by a copious rainfall. DR..
Trench. the medical officer of health for Liver
pool. has satisfied himself by q series of care
ful observations, extending over q number of
years, that there is an inverse ratio between
the amount OF rain and the amount of mortal.
i,y from infantile summer dIarrhna. To the
same effect are the tables given by Mr. Mac
pherson. illustrating the relation of moisture
to the mortality of cholera in Calcutta Ac-
cordlng TO these tables the least mortality from
cholera in Calcutta occurs in the months of
July, August. and September. which are en-
phatically the wet munths.-Lancet.

ExrENeIvR FRAUDS ON THE UNITED STATES
PAY DEPARTMRNT.-It has come to light In
frauds have been perpetrated on the pay de-
partment Of the United States through forged
soldiers discharge papers. The amount paid
in that department is said to be very large.
There appears to be an organized system for
the collection OF money on forged papers. not
only there, butin Washington, Baltimore, New
York, and other eastern cities. A man named
whose house a large quantity of forged dis
charge papers and transportation vouchers
were found; and two men, named Bomard and
Benedict, have been arrested at Leaven worth
while attempting TO collect money on similar
papers. Col. Rodgers, U. 8 marshal for that
district, and Deputy Marshal French, OF Kan
aas. left for New York and Washington on
Friday to ferret the matter oat ltis supposed
immense sums have been paid by different
disbursing officers on forged papers.

WHIPPING AS AN INCENTIVE TO MAR
RIAGR.-Two weeks ago the!minster Of one of
New York, learning that his daughter was
keeping company with young man he did
not like, inflicted upon the girl a severe chas-

discoloring her flesh. The next Sunday the
preacher, on retiring from the church, ascer-
tained that she had gone to q neighbours house.
He went to find her, and was met by the young
man, who exhibited to him marriage certif-
cate. The young couple had been married
while he was in the pulpit. The son in law
coolly announced that as the young woman
was under his protection he should net allow
any further use of birch whips upon her per.
con, and then bade him good day.

also ordered that the constitution shall 90 into
effect on the 5th day of October. The article
on education came up on Saturday on it's third

his feelings can be better imagined than de.

We understand that the deceased was subject
to apoplpxy, having had an attack of it few
