Sir Felix Lyle was dead. Up i'll the
great gloomy house of red stone, where
he had lived and tyrannized for more
than fifty years, there was a deeper
gloom than usual; not sorrow for him,
indeed, but rather the stiffness OF I'M
certainty and speculation concerning
the new master, who, report said, was
on his way back to England to take
possession. He had been ten years
away, driven, as all Callerton knew, by
the desperate, overlooking tyranny OF
his father, Sir Felix, for the late baro-
net had not been good man, nor q de-
sirable member ofsociety. He had, IN
deed. heen so bad-so many stores mac
cone about concerning him, which ne
did not scr11ple to confirm in his owl
peculiarly course language-that Cal
lerton had given him up long ago. NJ
one visited him. His servants staye'
with him, because if he ill-treated ant
abused them over night, he would pa.

Ours is essentially an agricultural
State, large proportion of our pop
ulation live in the country. and are
scattered over the many farms in
which the State abounds; the method
of reaching these is quite different
from that necessary for a city popula-
ton. There are difficulties to be
overcome in the organization of coun'
try churches and schools different
from those which prevent where
the population is more dense;
remoteness from each other, and bad
roads, especially in Winter and
Spring, have prevented many of those
| families from meeting in Sabbath
| Schools, until the habit has been
formed of spending the day other
wise; hence we may now find collec-
tons of young persons for gossip
/ and amusement and for social inter-
course in many places, where there is
no Sabbath School. How to over
come this difficulty is proper subject
of inquiry for us on the present occa-
sion. Ii we do nothing more, we may
hope TO awaken many individuals to
a more earnest interest In the work,
so that on their return home they
may practically engage therein, and
that great works may follow oul
meeting together.
May we realize the living presenct
Of the blessed Savior amongst us
We have met In His name, humbl.
and reverently lifting our souls t
Him. May we have the Holy Spiri
to guide our deliberations. and t
| unite our hearts in love together, ant
enable us lovingly to adopt the Ian

THE action of Judge Trigg, in. ar
resting the effort to force Hon. II. II
Butler to take all of his witnesses from
Taylorsville to the city of Washington
before he should be allowed hearing.
was perfectly correct and sustained by
few remarks of great force and clear
ness. If Mr.. Butler can prove lncon-
testably here by credible witnesses
that it was impossible for him to have
committed this act Of forgery in
Washington il would be manifes tly
unjust to compel him 20 appear with
all his witnesses in that city. Not
only do we regard the effort to depri @
him of an acquital before prelimina-
court as unfortunate but as calculate /
TO add to the popular disbelief i'm his
guilt. And so manifestly lame does
this prosecution appear that 1t wears
thcaspect of being one of those foolish
measures which have their origin in
prejudice and their end In injury OF
the conservative party. Mr.. Butler is
no exception to that rule which makes
politicians Of the present day open to
assault but the exercise Of a'wise dlscre-
sion would have been unfricndly to
this Indictment, which we do not
hesitate To believe Is groundless.
Mr.. Buffers ease has attracted de-
degree Of attention which is not con-
fincl to his own state. For two and
half years, extending from 1850 Ia
