Not long since a negro out.
ragged black girl named Hager
near Morse's Mills, in
Union county, N. j., and was
arrested and committed to the
jail in Elizabeth. The girl
states that the negro attacked
her in Mayo's woods, while she
was returning to her home
from the store; that he kept
her all night, tied to a tree,
robbed her Of all the money she
had, and threatened to pour
turpentine upon her and burn
her to death. A bottle of tur-
pentine was in the basket which
she was carrying home from
the store, and the negro was
only prevented from putting
his threat into execution by a
failure to find a match. When
morning arrived he united the
girl and let her 60, threatening
to murder her if she betrayed
him. The negro was arrested
by Chief Keron, of Elizabeth,
after a long chase in the coun,
try. He gave his name as
William Henry, but was iden.
titled as George Albert. He
has been employed by Mr.. Job
Winens, and was well known
in the neighborhood.

An attempt was made in the
Presbyterian General Assem-
bly,, in Philadelphia, to endorse
a particular policy of President
Grant. The effort was unsuc-
cessful, the Assembly declaring
that the church had nothing to
do with politics. If the deter
mination of our Presbyterian
friends be followed out it may
deprive political parsons Of
their stock in trade, and even
seriously affect their income
returns; but their focks will
be greatly benefited thereby,
and thousands who have been
driven from under the droop-
ings of the sanctuary by these
false teachers will return to the
fold. 1t is fully time that po-
litical preachers were played
out" and no denomination
could better inaugurate the
good work than the Presbyte-
rians.
