NEWSPAPER WRITING. G.-Of newspaper wri-
ting, the British Quarterly Reuie,o says, that
it is, perhaps the most difficult of all wri-
ting; there is none at least In which excellence
is SO rarely attained The capacity of bring
ing widely scattered information into focus,
Of dragging just conclusions from welselected
facts, of ampifying, COMPRISING, illustrating
succession of topics, all on the spur Of the
moment, without moments stay to examine
or revise, argues great intellectual cultivation"

cluded him from Office and then from men,
bership, on account of his having sung ''Uu-
inspired hymns" and communed with other
denominations Of Christians The clergyman
and q majority Of the congregation sustained
Mr.. Stuart, and consequently were also ex-
cluded, in 1868, from connection with the
general body. In 1859 the synod began to
cast covetous eyes on the church edifce and
valuable property attached thereto, and to
regret that they had left it in:the hands of
the men who were its original owners. They
therefore entered suit for it in the name of
the small minority who had left the congre-
CATION in consequence of their faith that the
Supper of our Lord and the benefits of His
Passion which they enjoyed were designed
exclusively for Reformed Presbyterians and
that the God of the Universe could be ac-
ceptably worshipped by no language, or
tongue, or people other than those able and
willing to sing certain rhyming version of
David's Psalms. Whether the stanchness of
their faith in these two points of doctrine en-
titled them to rob Mr.. Stuart and his friends
of the church they had built was the issue
brought before a OWL court for settlement.
Judge Williams charge, which was an exceed
ingly able one, bore heavily against the want
of moral or even legal justice in the entire
action of the Ecclesiastical Court The jury,
however, were discharged without agreeing,
and the property remains in the hands of Mr..
Stuart and his friends.
The common sense of the country, how
ever, will find no such difficulty in arriving at
a verdict on the matter. Whether man sees
fit to worship his Creator on his knees or
standing, by feasting or fagellation, by sing
ing hymns or in silence and contrition of
soul, bis mouth in the dust, is at the most
one of the lesser matters of the law. But
there ere requirements in which all mankind
recognize divine origin; justice, truth, the
high honor, the infinite love to our brother
man which Christ taught. Whetherthe Synod
of the Reformed Presbyterians choose to
sing hymns or psalms is a question which the
world treats with the indifference it deserves
but when they rush before the public to vio-
late the plain principles of justice and every
day honesty for the sake of greedy acquisi-
tion, all good men must regret that they have
SO far forgotten or failed to comprehend the
teachings of their Master.

The March term of the Nisi Prius Court in
Philadelphia has been occupied by the case
Of George III. Stuart VS.. The Reformed Pres
byterian Church, q case to which the atten-
tion of the whole country has been drawn:
not so much because of the value of the pro-

what integrity to its high Christian principles

a greedy claimant. into a civil court. The
facts Of the case are doubtless familiar to all
our readers.

LATE DAIRY MARKETs.-The butter
market here still continues dull, and
there is no change in quotations from last
week. Stock of good butter is light, with
little prospect of an improvement for
some time to come. Common to fair
grades range from 25 to 35 cents, and
small lots of choice dairies command 3S
cents. At Vergennes the market is with
out change. At Utica the butter market
is quiet, and most of the sales are within
the range of 25 to 30 cents. The New
York butter market remains at stand
still, and quotations are unchanged,
though there is said to be but light
stock in the city. Fancy fall butter
brings AZ to 45 cents; fine long dairies,
80 to 35 cents. In Boston the butter
market is quiet, and prices on all grades
are gunchanged. Fine Vermont butter
commands SO to 80 cents fair to good
26 to 80 cents, common 26 cents. In
cheese the demand continues moderate at
former quotations-lO IL cents being the
extreme rate. Second quality cheese are
unsaleable unless at heavy reduction
from asking rates.
