and penalties, inflicted for a number Of years
on the Catholic Church, on us and this Apostle

ministers. on the religious orders Of both sexes.
and on other plous institutions. That same
Government did not Cypress aud continually

so tar in its acts OF injustice as to dare TO
propose, appro We, sanction and promnlgate

own territory as we'll as the one usurped by
it, deprived the Church OF all its property, to

MEETING OF THE CHASSIS OF NEW YORK;

MEETING OF THE CHASSIS OF NEW YoRK-THs
CHANGE OF NAME.
The New York Classis Of the Reformed
Dutch Church held its regular meeting yester-
day in the Consistory of the North Dutch
Church in Fulton street Rev. Doctor Dewitt
occupied the chair. A long debate was had
upon the proposition to change the name OF the
church, and was not conducted altogether in
good temper. Mr.. Wood, an elder Of the COL
IL giate Church opened the discus sion by op.
posing all change Of name, and assailing those
who proposed to drop the word "Dutch.' DR..
Dewitt believed in the change if 1t was deemed
necessary, and involved no change In the con +.
stitution Of the church DR.. VermiIye as 1ailed
the Christian InteNigencer for Its course on the
SUBJECT, and declared that ii was no organ of
the Church DR.. Duryea believed the change
of names would give an impetus to the Church
which was greatly needed: and pre-
oicted that if there was not a revival in their
greater liberality, they would be absorbed by
other ecclesiastical denominations. DR..
Ganse showed tnat other churches had
charged their names with advantage. The
Scotcn-Irish bad become plain Presby,erians;
the Church of England Episcopal, and the
German Lutheran simple Lutheran. Doctors
Rodgers and Taylor, and Chancellor Ferris,
declared in favor Of a change OF name Doc.

1t no less than cutting loose from the history

George assured Mr.. Laube that the money

done splendidly; he had plenty of money; was
proprietor of farm for which he paid S75 a

neral was furnished as desired; the coffin
was sent out in hearse; the coaches went
out, and the drivers all wore hat bands. The
bill was sent by one OF the drivers. who pre-.
seDted It to Cooper. It had stamp on it, and
was receipted and Cooper took it and ut 1t in

money. After waiting a short time, the driver
insisted on having either the money or the bill,

in the house, and would pay it when he came
TO town; that he was waiting for his horse

nothing of him until Friday, when he had him

Murderous Assault in a Church.
A WOMAN STABBED BY HER DIVORCED HUs
from the Cincinnati Gaze

From the Cincinnati Gazette
CANTON, OHIO, Oct. 13.-This afternoon.
while the congregation were assembling in the
German Reformed Church, q most desperate
assault was made by Ferdinand Hoffman upon
the person Of his divorced wife Caroline Y ost.
Approaching her in the choir, he demanded a
f-w moments conversation, which being de-
med, he asked her to kiss him, and while in
the act of doing so he stabbed her with butch
er knife three times in the breast and eight
times in the abdomen and on the limbs. The
scene " as terrible and heart-re nding, and the
screams OF the women and the shouts Of the
men as the assassin fled from the scene of
bis assault were exciting in the extreme.
The murderer. with the butcher-knife still in
his band, streaming with the blood OF his vic
tim, attempted 10 reach the railroad, pursued
by maddened and excited crowd, but was
arrested in his flight by stalwar country
man. who compelled him to surrender. The
excitement at this point was intense, and the
general demand was that the monster should
be lynched on the spot Prudent counsels pre-
vailed, and he was marched to jail. At one
point the agoniZed mother Of the unfortunate
young woman confronted the crowd, and with
a large.sized stick beat the prisoner over the
head, while at the same time he was beaIen
indiscriminately by parties in the crowd, and
another demand was made for his immediate
hanging. He was, however, safely lodged in
Jail. II is doubtful whether the lady can live
till morning. Hoffman is n desperate charac-
ter, and was released but ten days ago from
State prison. His only regret is that he did
not kill her at once.
