was borne from the spot almost .
maniac amidst the sympathy of the
entire gathered population.
While we all regret most seriously
the occurrence, we say most posi-

cannot be held responsible morally
Tor the rash act. And when in pri-

gret over the sad occurrence, and

not forget the family and relatives of

SO far forgot his duty to himself and

Col. Crane was son of Hon. J. II.
Crane, ex-M. G. from Ohio, dayton
district).
The Clarion says of the deceased,
personally:
"Col. Crane was about six feet two
inches in height, imposing and dis
tingue in his personal appearance. =
In all the relations of life, as son,
husband, father, citizen, Judge, and
soldier, he was model of the purest
type. A most thorough, accomplish
cd, polished gentleman in his bear
ing, he was truly loved and univer-
sally admired by all who came in
contact with him. Perhaps no off,
Ger Of the army of equal rank had
more warm personal friends. Col.
Crane leaves a widow, and two most
promising and interesting sons, aged
seventeen and fourteen years, respec-
lively. Mrs. Crane is the daughter
of Commodore James f. Schencls, of
the United States Navy, and the
niece OF Gen'l Rob't G. Schenck, the
present distinguished memberof Con-
gress from the Dayton District
She is most charming, amiable, and
christian lady, worthy representa-.
tive OF her illustrious family. Her.
self and husband were both born in
tho same town they knew each
other from earliest infancy; they
grew up side by side, and their souls
molted into one, imperceptibly, ire
sistably Through every change of
fortune, through good and evil re-
port, they seemed to cling tho closer
with advancing years. May God in
his infinite mercy protect her now
that the idol of her soul is gone"
Yerger, the murderer, is a son of
Judge Yergcr of Vicksburg, and be-
longs to one OF the most noted fami-
lies in the State. He was Col of a
Rebel regiment, called Yerger's

tility to the Federal cause and its
military representatives, inspired by
bad whiskey, nerved his arm to do
the bloody deed.

ifest tendency towards q Swedenborgian
Episcopacy; his eloquent exposition of the
power of certain words, which "are said to be
but breath, but they come with power, and
''would open the gates of the corruption of old,
which made Christendom Babylon, and
would therefore, he hoped, not be adopted; )"
his pertinent illustrations from ecclesiastical
history; his strenuous opposition to the ambi-
ton Of the clergy to elevate themselves into
priesthood removed from common humanity"
and to the unrepublican features of the paro-
chial and diocesan system advocated by some
members of the Convention, provoked one of
the delegates to ask sneeringly ''if they were
in convention of Gods New Church or in an
assembly Of Spiritualists or Unitarians, that
such outcries against the bugbear of the priest
hood were heard?" Professor Parsons an
swered that s'they were in Gods New Church,
and because he wished it to remain so he OPP
posed the opening of gates that would let in
desolation." After soNe further debate the
whole subject was laid on the table, to be
taken up to-day, when the discussion will pro-
badly be renewed with increased activity. 1t
is to be hoped that our Swedenborgian
brethren will compose their little internal dis
sensions in time to celebrate tremendously in
1870 the centenary of the New Church.

previous meeting to represent the Association at

each and every one OF the trio had neglected the duty

merculy let alone. After this little omission had
been satisfactorily explained Mrs. Morton read very
emphaticaly an essay prepared by herself upon the
negro which represented "our African brothers, So
cialy and politically aud which would have been
very suitable for an antislavsry meeting ten years

concerning Secretary Bories eight hour system.
