into the room; at the same time
he heard the voices of several
persons, who were standing un-
der the window. A dreadful
terror seized the traveller, who
was never very brave, and
scarcely knowing what he did,
he crept under the bed as
quickly :as possible. A mo-
ment afterwards, a man sprang
heavily into the room, and stag.
gered up to the bed, support
ing himself against the wall.
Confounded as the householder
was, he nevertheless perceived
that the intruder was inebriat~

gave him little hope, for he had
probably got intoxicated in or

the contemplated crime; be.

case of resistance, could count

astonishment when he saw the

just quilted! Not very long

gradually to give way to reflec-

was quite incomprehensible to

to- quit his hiding-place, in Or

the house, and ask for another
bed in place of that from which
he had been so unceremonious

outer door carefully opened,
and on listening, the sound OF
cautious footsteps reached his
ear. In a few minutes the door
of his room opened, and two

and his son--stood on the thres
hold. "Keep the lamp back,

Social Scandal in New York.
The prurient prudes or firste
class society are eager for the
beginning Of the suit for di;
vorce soon to be commenced
by the daughter Of Col Lasalle,
of the Courier des Etats Unis.
1t is expected to interest and
crafty scandal hunting tastes
beyond any similar case tried
IN New York for many years.
The plaintiff is still young and
almoct as captivating as at the
time of her marriage, few
years ago, when she was one OF
the bellies of Gotham. The
ground OF divorce is-well,
marital Inconsistency sounds
better than the shorter term.
The offense began, it is said,
soon after the wedding, and
was continued recklessly and
in promiscuous sort of way.
Before her marriage the plain
tiff was one of the most t,popu.
lar and beautiful young ladies
in New York society. Her hus'
band is a naval officer, and
their wedding was one of the
chief fashionable events of the
day. The suit for divorce will
be commenced In a few weeks,
and the social standing Of the
plaintiff promises to give it an
interest that is not often
attained by cases Of this class
The prurient prudes are already
on the qui vive for what are
called spicy developments

The Rev. D. J. Holmes will preach on Sabbath
evening, in the Methodist churcA, his farewell
sermon.
= Brother Holmes hes had charge Of the Metho-
dist Church Of this ci,y'ior the past three years

any church, under the Inherent system of the
Methodist-, is allowed 70 retain the same pastor
Succeeding one OF the mos: brilliant and popular
preachers in the Methodist pUlpi.-the Rev. j.
A. Gray-it is no small testimonial TO the abili-
ty and acceptableness of the ministry o: Mr.
Holmes, that he not only retained the large con-
gregation Mr.. Gray had collected, but unusually
large additions to the membership Of the church
have been made during hi- ministry. The
itinerant system may have It's advantages, but
there is something almost heartless about this
constant severing of the ties between pastor and
people. The good wishes Of all the church going
people of Ottawa accompany Brother Holmes to
whatever new field OF labor may be assigned
him, accompanied with many honest regrets at
his loss to Ottawa.
