Il appears that man and his wife put
up at the Mcclure House on Monday
night. The mans name was Pearce
Kelley. He is subject to fits of insani-
ty and has been in the Asylum at Stsun-
ton aud at Weston. They were at Pitts
burgh and his wife discovered that one
Of his spells of Insanity was coming on,
and she got him on the train and was
making fer Grafton where they live.
But when they got to the Mcclure
House his insanity had become so fairly
seated that his wife could do nothing
with him. She lett for Grafton yester-
day morning in order to send some
friends here to take charge of him.

EXCITEMENT IN PHILADELPHIA
CHURCII

From the Philadelphia Ledger, March 10.
Yesterday morning and evening, the
Eleventh Baptist Church, Twelfth street,
above Race, was the scene of an unfortu-
nate difficulty between the pastor and the
congregation. About fifteen months ago.
Rev. K. S. Tharin, the present pastor, was
called to the church to fill vacancy caused
by the resignation of Rev. J. Hyatt Smith.
Al first Mr.. Tharin gave satisfaction, but
within the last few months a difference of
opinion has grown up in the church in re-
gard to his capabilities and usefulness as
pastor 1t is not necessary to give the
grounds upon which each side in the con-
troversy urge their views, but suffice il to
say, that two weeks ago majority of those
having charge of the church voted to dis
pense with Mr.. Tharin's services after the
first of April. This was communicated to
the reverend gentleman. Yesterday he
appeared in the pulpit as usual, and took
his text from James iii, l "My brethren
be not many masters, knowing that we
shall receive the greater condemnation"
From this Mr.. Tharin proceeded to preach
a sermon, in the course of which he re-
ferred TO the difficulty with those who had
voted to Gust him, and in forcible language
he expressed his opinion of the action Of
the majority.
He was interrupted by one Of the dea-
cons, who announced that no such language
as that used by Mr.. Tharin could be toler-
ated in the church. The minister con-
tinued members began to leave the house,
and the indications of a scene eliminated,
when one of the deacons ordered the organ
to be played so that the voice of the
preacher could not be heard. The result
was a summary dismissal of the congrega-
ton. Subsequently meeting was held,
and a motion TO close the church until
Thursday next, was carried by vote of 80
yeas TO 35 nays.
A committee was then sent to the Chief
of Police for a force to attend the church
in the evening, in order to prevent the
possibility of a disturbance, should there
be any attempt to open the house.
AT o'clock crowd of about two hum
dred persons, mostly females, gathered in
front of the building, where they remained
quietly, discussing the condition of affairs
until quarter Of o'clock, when Rev. Mr..
Tharin appeared and advanced to the door.
Finding it closed and locked, he appealed
TO policeman to try the fastening in order
TO satisfy himself that the building was
closed. The policeman declined to inter-
fere in any way, whereupon Mr.. Tharin,
turning to the crowd on the sidewalk, said
Friends, we have been excluded from the
church. | believe that | have been un-
justly excluded from my pulpit, but my
cause is greater than MANS and thank God
there is an earthly tribunal to which we
can appeal for justice. Please leave me
quietly, and return to your homes" This
advice was promptly followed, and the
crowd dispersed.

HORRIBLE MURDER OF A BOY RY
HIS PARENTS.

A man-so called, an atheist-by the
name of w. III. Taylor OF Quebec with a
fiend, called his wife, were arrested last
week, charged with having murdered their
child, boy Of eight years. The testimony
of the neighbors went to show that thepoo
child had, for some time, been subject to
the combined effects of hard work, expo
sure, famine, thirst, and cruel beatings. un-
der the superintendence Of the wretched
father and his wife, the step-moiher of the
child. Emaciated and weak, he had been
kept at work cutting wood, in the heat OF
summer, and in the freezing cold Of winter,
without cap, shoes, or stockings, clad only
in a blouse. And when offered clothing
by compassionate neighbors, the child had
said his Iaother would beat him if he put
them on. When there was no wood 10 cut,
he was sent out 10 sell candy, with the
promise of a whipping if he returned with
any of il unsold. And the step-mother
kept leather strap, with which TO beat the
child, and resorted % the additional pun
ishment of keeping him in the streets "a
late as o'clock in the morning, for not
selling out "a ordered. The child often
begged bread and water of the neighbors,
lhhA hAb puA tdO OIL
salt into his soup and then refused him wa
ter. The neighbors also testified, that they
sometimes had TO interfere to prevent fa-
ther and mother from cruelty beating the
poor onteast. The, child fortunately, is now
beyond the reach of father and mother, so
called bat post ulOrtem examination re-
vealed many marks of violence. The bru-
tai man is in prison, and the brutal woman,
too sick to be put into prison, is under
guard in her own house.

gHE FATE OF InPEACHERs.
Mack, in his last letter, says

%A0SAf al Ato A0oS AOttCAf
Forney is nothing if not historical, these
times. l recently showed with what aecu-
racy he drew his parallels, as 10 the case of
Cardinal Richelieu, whom he represented
as the great minister OF Louis XIV. This
morning he gives us two columns, to show
the parallel between Andrew johnson and
the Middle Age kings of Europe-and in
asmuch as he quotes King James az one of
the Middle Age kings, it will be seen that
he has read Hallam TO great advantage.
lie makes the startling announcement that
history repeats itself" Does il ever oc-
cur to the historic John w. that
history may repeat itself in the fate
OF the court that condemns Mr.. John
son, as well as in the fate of Mr.
johnson, who is to be condemned? And
it is worthy of note just here that there has
been no exception to the rule, that those
who have assisted in the condemnation and
punishment of the heads of European ma
tations, have invariably come to grief,
wherever they have survived the frenzy
and passion which their revolution created.
The fate of the members of the "high
court of impeachment which sent Louis
XVI to the scaf1old Is well known. But
perhaps the fttest parallel is not TO be
drawn from the French Revolution, but
from the English Revolution which de-
throned and executed Charles /. They had
I high court OF impeachment then, consist
ing of tfty-eight members. The high
court of Impeachment for the trial of
President johnson consists of fifty-four
members. OF the fifty-eight who signed |
the death warrant of Charles Stuart, thir- |
ty-seven survived the Commonwealth and |
lived to see the Restoration OF the thirty |
seven, nine were executed, twelve were |
imprisoned for the remainder of their |
lives, eleven fled TO escape punishment,
three were pardoned or released, and the |
fate of two is left in doubt. The twenty
one who died before the Restoration were
by Parliament. Cromwell was
exhumed and hung, and so were several
others who were the chief instigators of
the regicide. All this was done not to
crafty any spirit of revenge on the part of |
Charles ii, but in obedience to a popular
demand for justice, which in times of
means cruelty. The son of the
murdered King did his best to repress the
vengeful spirit of his subjects-so much SO
that Hume speaks of him as Prince who
favored pardon and oblivion, and adds that
it was pardon for his enemies and obi
Won for his friends" OF the estates of the
regicides, thirty-fve were confs-
Gated by exclusion from the indemnity bill
Of Charles Ii; twenty-one were confscated
by attainder; one was restored by pardon,
and the yearly income of the remaining
one was confiscated.
Let the fifty-four Senators who have un-
iertaken to sign A. J.'s political death
warrant refresh their memories a little
With this historical fact, and read their
late in that of the fifty-eight who, in 1649,
put the English King to death. "History
repeats ITSELF" does it? Why not in the
particular have mentioned as well as in
,thers?

and Narrowly Escapes from Being
Mobbed.
| From the Memphis Ledger, APRIL
A disturbance, bordering upon a riot in
IFS incipiency, was nipped in the bud by
the river police this morning. II would
seem that negro roustabout, known as Ike
johnson, was detected about dusk last eve
ming in an attempt to flch two boxes Of
chewing tobacco from the Sam. j. Hale,
while engaged in discharging the cargo Of
that packet, and was taken in custody by
the officers Of the boat, conducted 10 the
upper deck and bound hand and foot. In
this condition he was kept all night, and in
the meantime the fact became known TO
other negroes on the landing, who resolved
on efiecting his release. Accordingly, this
morning a mulatto boy, known as James
Brown. followed by a dozen or more
darkies, boarded the Hale, and making
their way TO the deck where johnson was
tied, demanded his person. A. r. Taylor,
First Mate ofthe boat, was on deck when this
demand was made; and instead of ac-
ceding TO it picked up hatchet which was
lying near by, and dealt Brown a severe
blow on the head At this he was assailed
by the whole posse who were following the
mulattO, and had 10 fee for his life, which
II is almost miraculous he succeeded in
saving. From the Hale he sprang 10 the
steamer Darling, lying alongside, the in
tnriated negroes pursuing, while others
from the shore, seeing the affair and catch
ing the excitement, were hurrying to join
them in dozens. On the Darling, Taylor
managed by some means to secrete himself
for few minutes, and by that time officer
Mackleroy and another member ofthe river
patrol succeeded in reaching him, and prob
ably saving his life, which otherwise would
have been in the hands of the black mob.
Even as it was, the police found no little
difficulty in rescuing him, and only sue
ceeded in doing so by threatening with Sc
we're punishment any who might attempt
interference. Both Taylor and Brown |
were finally taken to the 1st district station
house on Adams street, where the former
was committed on charge of assault with
intent to kill. On an examination by DIR. |
Watkins, who was promptly called in, it
was discovered that Browns skull was |
fractured by the blow from the hatchet,
and his condition therefore is regarded as a
very critical one. After dressing his
wound he was removed to the State Hos |
pltal. johnson was subsequently arrested
and committed at the clover station to await
examination on the charge of stealing the
tobacco.

THE Mayor Of Charleston, South Caro-
lima, "got off" rather neat joke the
other day, at the expense Of some Of the
regular visitors of his court. Immediately
after taking his seat, in the morning, he
ordered the doors Of the room to be closed (;
and the crowd Of idle spectators, after en-
ioying the proceedings, were called upon
for an explanation of their presence.
Some were there on business, and some for
mere transient curiosity. These were ex-
eused; but the habitual loafers or vagrants,
we're fined two or three dollars, or as many
days confinement The police office, since
then, has lost all its charms for loafers.
