Neither have accepted, however; ueIoei on

THE CASE o PROFESSOR BwALD.
Professor Ewald, of Gotlingen, one of the
celebrated seven charged with insulting the
King of Prussia in his pamphlet Lob des
KOnigo und des Yolksr was acquitted by his
Judges on the 29th. OF December. The State
authorities had motioned for SIX months i'm
prisoument. During the trial Professor r valid
acted In free, upright manner. Tue decision
OF acqulttal was on two points,. 1t had not
been proved that the King had been persoualIg
referred to IN the pamphlet. 2. No evidence
had been brought to show that he intended his
remarks as deiamatory. The decision of acuuit-
tai was received with great applause in court
and has been welcomed as Just by nearly the
whole German press.
MIRACULOUS nBALING IN wURTENBERG.
most remarkable story comes down to us
from the hills of Nuremberg. In the little
poverty stricken village of Erlaheim, celebrated
fpri lfa ~
Is now an excitement unparalleled In Wurtem-
berg annals" Two or three months ago new
vicar, named Schottle, was sent to the village.
He was aged, being nearly fifty and soon gained
the sympathy OF his people. The report soon
spread that the vicar possessed the power of
healing diseases in a miraculous manner, the
consequence of which was that the little village
of Erlaheim was quickly crowded with the
crippled and diseased OF all ages, sizes, sexes
Catholics as well as Prolestants, Jews and uu-
believers, and now even the neie boring VILLAGES
cannot ACCOMMODATE the coaches. A gentleman
who lately visited the scene has given the fol-
lowing description of his visit in the Swaban
Nercvy:--
THE pilgrims TO the Vicar of Erlaheim,n he
says, "have increased in number to an extent
far beyond anything ever heard OF in Wurtem-
berg. During a business journey l had the
opportunity personally to be convinced OF this.
Exactly at eleven o'clock the door of the par
sonage opens, before which great multitude of
deVOut diseased are found, who have been
waiting for long time. And what a multi
tude! The space Immediately around the par
sonage cannot contain all the faithful, so that
the streets to the right and left, wherever there
Is an open space, are filed up. The number OF
those present was at least eight hundred. Toe
clergyman began with an address and closed his
words with q Oenedlcton. Then each indi-
Vidual was allowed to come forward, and was
asked for his name, condition, disease, etc.
Then each received a small flask of Oil-cOnse-
Grated oil-ior external application. 1t appeared
ike olive oil. As to how this is brought into
causal connection with the healing of the dis
ease i am not able to say; sill the clergyman
assures that it is not the Oil which has the heal
ing power, but faith"
The belief in his power of healing is wide
spread; an eight-horse omnibus comes crowded
from Rottwell to Erlahem daily. Many come
from PforzhCim, and even from Basle pilgrims
have arrived, and still the throng has not
reached its eliminating point. The number
arriving daily is estimated now at twelve hun
dred. The ecclesiastical authorities have already
taken steps in the matter, and the vicar has had
notice of removal, but the poor people OF the
village and neighborhood sent deputation OF
church mbeTs to Stuttgard TO cndeavor 20 pro-
cure the recall Of the order, but with results.
The character Of the vicar is everywhere
praised, He formerly charged sum of six
kreutZers (tnree four Centsl each for the oil,
but now only a box is open to voluntary cOntri'
buttons, which is in part applied to the purchase
OF oil and in part devoted to benedcent pur-
| poses.
