SALE OF THE SCRIPTURES IN VENICE. -
Bayard Taylor, in a letter to the New
York Tribune, from Venice, says;
Toward st. Marks Place there is a
stand which they must pass, and I can
fancy with what sensations. It is Gov
cred with books, and has sign, Sale
OF the Holy Scriptures. Venetian in
dependence comes with the Bible,
which is now furnished to all who are
able to read it. Schools will follow,
and the priests, losing their false pow
er. will give way to class Of religious
teachers who will help to regenerate
Italy. lido not mean that the Italians
will become Protestants, nor is it nee
essary; but think they will cast aside
those excresceuces which, here, so in
cumber Catholicism, that its primitive,
vital principlelcan scarcely be detected.
The temporal power of the priests will
fall with that Of the Pope, and a good
system Of education will do the rest, -
IThe sbuses OF the Church rest on the
Ignorance Of the people.

zee FATHER ANp MOTHER.

Hon. Charles Dudley, the father,
represents this county in the legisla-
ture, and was at his post OF duty, in
Des Moines, when he received the
crushing news. He had taken his seat
at his desk when the dispatch was
handed to him, at 8 o'clock A. NJ.
shortly after Mr.. Caldwell, OF this
county, whose seat was adjoining, an
nounced the appalling calamity to the
House, whereupon appropriate and i'm,
pressive action was had, resulting in
the appointment of q committee of
three, consisting OF his colleague,
Hon. s. T. Caldwell, Hon. John P.
Grantham, of Henry, and Hon. John
Hayden, of Jefferson, to accompany
Mr.. Dudley to his now desolate, house
less, homeless, bereaved family.
Similar action was taken by the SEN
ate, which appointed Senators Doud,
CT Van Buren, and Woolson, of Henry,
as a committee on the part Of the Sen
ate TO also accompany him home.
Mr.. Dudley has been most unfortu-
nate with his family, ten deaths having
occurred, and only two of them from
disease; eight tragically or suddenly.
Only last spring, in May or June, his
oldest son, Edward, was killed by frsc.

tFrom the osiunWa qowal Courier, March 2o.l
Yesterday morning we gave but a
brief notice OF the terrible hre at
Agency Oity--a town situated some
seven miles east OF our eity-then only
having the short announcement OF the
fact. This afternoon we visited the
ruins and the bereayed family. The
residence Of Hon. Charles Dudley was
situated about three quarters of a mile
northeast of Agency; q two story
frame house, with two rooms, kitchen
and pantry on the ground -four, and q
woodhouse attached to the kitchen; the
front rooms were used one for a pArlor
and the other as a sitting room, the
kitchen being in the rear OF the latter.
Up stairs consisted Of three bed rooms
and a lumber room over the kitchen
The Oldest son, Lewis, occupied the
west room; the two sisters the east
room, and the three younger sons,
Charles, Thomas and Otis, the room
adjoining aud in rear OF the eldest. A
hall ran between the two first rooms
mentioned, up stairs and down.
81 was sleeping with my younger
brothers, one three and the other eleven
years old, and about midnight was
aroused by the smoke strangling me;
jumped out Of bed and went to and
opened small door that leads out TO
the room over the kitchen, when the
smoke burst through and almost stiAed
me; the smoke came up over the kitch-
on, apparently from the woodhouse.
/ ran back and aroused Lewis; he sat
up in bed, when 1 told him to bring
down the boys; then ran down and
told mother, who slept in the sitting
room; she jumped up with her babe,
and catching up some bed clothes, ran
out; she left the babe in the yard and
ran back 10 the house, now burning
rapidly, to try to rescue the boys, but
it was too hot. / tried to get in the
room up stairs six times,but failed. 1
got out the melodeon and desk with
the valuable papers in it. At this time
MIR. Dave Sterner came and
Here the boy was removed, aud we
had to get our information as best we
could. 1t seems that the sisters, aged
about twenty and eighteen, escaped
Il is reported that Mr..
Sterner took the leg of table aud
burst open the door to Lewis room,
and tried to call him up, but could not;
then threw the stick at and struck him,
but he did not move. AT this time
the house was enveloped in flames.
Everything was consumed exceptingthe
desk, and few bed clothes,
which the ladies had to wrap about
them in lieu OF clothing No valuable
papers were destroyed that we could
hear Of. The loss in property is estl-
mated at between four and six thousand
dollars.

CAUSE OF THE FIRE.

This is not known. Some think that
it originated from the ashes, which had
been taken up in o kettle and left in
the wood-house; but this is denied by
those whom we have reason to think
ought to know, as they say there we're
no Goals in the ashes, besides there was
not enough air to fan the coal into life
had there been any. The cause is I'M
known.
GnkDEEss CHANGED TO SADNESS.
Tomorrow was to have been the
birthday of Lewis, when he would
have been eighteen, and the family
gifts and mementoes were all prepared
but ruthless death, in bis most hideoui
form, tramIled upon affection and
smote his victims in their brighi
dreams, and may we hope that angels
are festooning their browS with crowni

Decision OF the Supreme Court Of Ten
nessee, Rt Nashville, December Term,

1867.
Reported for the Union and Dispatch by S. j.
Henderson, Esq.
note upon which suit is founded must be
made part Of the record by bill Of exceptions
The court can only reverse because of errors
affecting the merits
Mekeel Administrator, 0s. Bass.
This suit was instituted by McKeel, as
administrator Of Phelus, against Bass and
Townsend, before Justice Of the Peace
for the county of Humphreys, on the 10Th
of February, 1896.
The warrant was executed and returned
for trial before Esq. Ammes on the l4th of
April, 1866, who rendered Judgment for
the plaintiff for $l73 63.
Bass appealed TO the Circuit Court, in
which a trial was had at the July term,
1866, which resulted in a verdict and iudg
ment for the defendant. Plaintiff moved
for new trial, which was refused, and he
has appealed in error to this court. 1t ap-
pears from the bill of exceptions that after
the parties had announced themselves
ready for trial and the jury was sworn,
the plaintiff moved the court for leave 10
amend the warrant by striking ont the
word "debt," and inserting the words
"trespass on the case" to which the de-
fendant objected The objection was over
ruled. and the amendment made.
The defendant then moved a continU~
ance of the cause, which was refused
Plaintiff read the warrant and indorsea
ments. and then offered TO read the letter
of administration granted by the County
Court Of Perry county, which was objected
to by defendant, and the objection sus~
tained by the court.
This was all the evidence in the cause.
The charge of the court is unexcepted to.
There is no evidence in the record show
ing thst the plaintiff is entitled 10 recover
even il the letters Of administration had
been admitted.
The note upon which we presume the
suit was founded, is transcribed into the
record by the Clerk, but it is not made part
of the record by bill Of exception, nor does
il appear TO have been read 20 the Jury,
All that was before the Jury was the war
rant and the Endorsements Of the Constable
and the Justice. The plaintiff, in addition
| offered to read his letters of adpinistra'
ton, which were rejected then even if the
court vas in error in excluding the letter.
| of administration, that error can make nc
difference. for il they had been read, still
the plaintiff would not have been entitled
to recover, and this conrt can only reverse
because of error affecting the merits.
