Agricultural Districts to BIO Aroused.
The Methodist preachers Listened patiently
yesterday to an essay read by Dr. Curry "Sipu In
Its character and legal relations to Gods law. The
philosophical and the Christian ideas OF sin were
presented, and the Doctors own theory, which was
supported by extracts nom the Methodist Quarterly
Rsois,c. Rev. DR.. Shedd and ST. Augustine were In
favsr OF original SIN. He made distinction between
sin the abstract principle and the motives OF SIN
or sinful actions. In the discussion which followed
he replied to inquiries and suggestions by saying
that Coo cannot make anything but what IL holy
free from sin. Holiness Is necessity; sin Is an
accident. coming afterward, and is not contempt

application OF pardon Is necessary to the sinners

Dr. w. IL. FERRIS believed the time had not yet
for ministers to interfere with Legislative en-
acluents. The best thing TO BIO done Is TO
LET TIE CATHOLICS ALONE.
The faster they drive the sooner viii they come to

Wal go on until they have aroused the protestan

INCIDENT IN A MURDER TRIAL.-During the trial
OF Temple Tor murder in Orleans county, N. T., last
week, an Incident occurred which will perhaps
afford ground Tor an appeal The jury after being
Charged by Judge Marvin retired to consult After
an nour Or mere the jury re urned and Mr. Porter,
the deputy Clerk asked the jury II they had agreed
upon verdict. The foreman responded In the
Affirmative ana upon question as to the verdict
stated that they had found the prisoner guilty OF
murder in the degree named in the indictment. The
jury we're then polled and each answered that they
prisoner wished to have the jury asked and peeled
as TO what degree they found the prisoner
guilty. The Judge refused to so change the
questions; and after desberation the jury, con-
trary the advice OF the Judge again retired and
In a short time returned, and the foreman, upon
being asked whether he found the prisoner guilty in
the first or second degree, replied equity Of murder
Ia the first degree.n Each Of the jurymen expressed
the same opinion on being polied. Inis very strange
procedure was wholly unknown heretofore TO any
parties present and the Judge was deeply panied
over the action Of the counsel for the prisoner, but
was highly pleased with the fair and impartial action
OF the jury.
