The Highest Mountains IN the Cnlteu states
F,0Ut the Sprilieid R'pWblcaa.
The progress of exploration among the high
mountain ranges of Western America is mar
rowing down the question as to where is the
highest mountain peak in the republic. The
Rocky Mountains the Sierra Neva7as, the
latter's extension through Oregon, the Gas
cades. and their further extension in.to British
America, and Alaska, have all been contes-
tants for this distinctions and very wild state
ments have been made of the heights Of the
representative peaks Of each of these
sections. Several peaks need yet to be
more accurately measured before the
contest is fully closed; but at present
California, in her Mount Whitney, carried off
the palm. This mountain, which lies in the
Sierra Nevada range, in the southern part of
the State, was ascended by Mr.. King, one of
the State geological survey in the summer of
1866, to a point Of l,7lO feet in height,
where he took accurate measurements. Be
yond that point the peak was 'inaccessible;'
but his skilled Judgment was, that the sum-
NIT rose from three to four hundred feet
above him, and he therefore reports Mount
Whitney as $4,000 feet high-a claim which
may be held to be substantially correct. In
the neighborhood Of Mount Whitney are
Mount Lyell, 1877 feet high, Dana 13, 227.
Brewer l3, SSG, and ryndall II, 1856 feet.
But next to Mount Whitney. in California.
stands Mount Shasta, in the northern part of
the State, and perhaps the most magnificent
snow-covered mountain in the United States
1t is IA, 4,440 feet high, and is apparently des-
tined, more than any other mountain in the
republic, to become the object of curious in
terest and pleasure-seelling for travellers
Mount Hood, its Oregon rival, and nearly its
| equal in beauty Of shape and extent Of
snow fields, is but H. 225 feet high.
Mounts Baker and Bainer, still further north
in Washington Territory, are respectively
10, $50 feet ana 1880 feet high. They are
also distinguished for the extent and MAG
nifcence Of their perpetual snow fields.
The encyclopedia puts down two noun
tains (still further north in British Columbio)
Brown and iouker-as being Is. 800 and
Is, 700 feet high, respectively; but theW prove
never to have been accurately measured and
these figures are but the widest euesses of
superficial travellers, no more to be depended
upon than the claim of the Oregonians 10 a
height of over II 900 feet for Mount Hood
which has only been overthrown within the
last three years. 1t is not probable that either
of these peaks in British America ascend 50
high as either Shasta or Whitney, in Califor-
MIA; but still they need to be accurately nlea

Fourth-The present occasion was the
last sermon Of this teachers life. Here
to-day his admonitions and his life should
have its effect upon us, for being dead he
yet speaketh. He, in his death, as in his
life, calls you to repent. 1t is his mes
sage to you in his death. In the sweet
eloquence of his death, he says, Come to
God. Come with me-"
The discourse Of DR.. Seaver was feel
ing and appropriate application of this
good mans life to the living, and therein
consisted his greatest eulogy. The re-
marks of DR.. Seaver were extempore and
rapidly spoken, SO that it is impossible to
reproduce them, only in the very faulty
and imperfect form in which we have en-
deavored to give them.
At the conclusion of the address DIR.
Seaver offered touching and appropriate
prayer, commencing the family and the
congregation to God, that they
might learn and use the lessons of the
life of him who had departed. The fol-
lowing hymn was then sung:
Asleep in Jesus blessed sleep.
From which none ever wake to weep
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
Asleep in Jesus peaceful rest
Whose waking is suprenely best
No fear no woe, shall dim that hour
Which maulfcst5 the Sayior'S power,
Asleep in Jesus, o for me
May such blissful refuge be
Securely shall my ashes lie
And wait the summons from on high.
The benediction was pronounced by
Rev. Mr. Herrick.
The congregation then were afforded
an opportunity to take a farewell look of
the form of their beloved pastor and
friend.
The only relatives from abroad we no.
ticed were Hon. David Aiken, and wife,
of Greenfield, Mass, and William P.

law of DR.. Aiken.
The remains were inferred in Pine Hill

were all carried out in quiet and unos-
tentatious manner, under the guidance of

The Episcopal Church and Tram
substantiatiOn.

Mr.. Editor Your correspondent, "An
Episcopalian by Accident" seems to de-
sire information on subject with which
he ought to be familiar, by virtue of his
membership in that very communion,
concerning whose doctrines he wishes en-
lightenment. 1t is difficult to see how he
can be an Episcopalian "by acctdent,' as
the solemn vows he must have made, in
the public profession of his faith at con-
firmation, are too weighty to have been
lightly assumed through anything but cul-
pable negligence or ignorance. And, hav-
ing this faith, st. Peter commands US to
be able to give a reason for the same,
with meekness and fear"
But, not to quarrel with his signature,
allow me the suggestion that a reading of
Article xviii of the Thirty-nino Arti-
cles, as contained in the Book of Common
PRAYER, all of which articles are required
to be assented to by every ordained minis
ter in the Protestant Episcopal church,
and the teaching of any doctrine contrary
to which is canonical offense,) would
have set him at res. on this point The
words in question are these; "Transub-
sanitation (or the change of the S,tbStaace
of bread and wine in the Supper of the
Lord, cannot be nored By Holy Writ,
bit IS repugnaa 10 tie plain ,r0rtiS Of
Scripture, oycrthroweth the nature of the
Sacrament, and hath given occasion to
many superstitions."
The monstrous doctrine of the Romish
church concerning the Holy Eucharist
THAT of the invisible change of the sub
stance of elements into the physical body
and blood of our Savior was not believed
in, not taught by, the church in her days
of primitive purity; nor is it SO taught
to-day by any ordained Clergyman within
the Anglican communion, be he, as the
unfortunate phrase runs, "hieh' or .low"
in his views of church teaching. That
the primitire faith holds the sacrament to
be something more than a mere nlcnoytaL,
is true; but the error in question is of
corrupt, nlediGral origin, and there need
be be no fear that, while our Lord vouch-
safes to His church faithful bishops to
guard "the mystery of the faith" any
pr0ren advocacy of this idolatrous belief
will fail to receive its just rebuke.
