A WOMAN RESCUED ACCORDING TO RULE.

In fottsville, when anything happens,
the people consider that religious duty
ueVoiVes upon them to hold meeting and
10 pass resolutions upon it and so strong
mas tins habit become that some citizens OF
that place, Whenever the breakfast bell
rings, call a meeting of the family, elect
o11icers, and resolve to go down stairs and
eat the meal. The other day woman
iel into the canal and sunk. A large
crowd OF men were standing upon the
bank at the time, they instantly proceeded
to organize meeting for the purpose of
devislng means for rescuing the woman.
Alter spirited debate, man named Col
Inns was elected chairman !; and, on taking
his seat, he not only thanked the meeting
very warmly for the compliment offered
him, but he made long speech, in which
he discussed the tariff, the coal product for
1871, and the Alabama claims. A series
of resolutions were then offered, and after
a prolonged discussion and the acceptance
OF several amendments, they were passed.
They embraced protest against the
depth of the canal, regrets that all women
are not taught to swim, and resolve to
rescue the particular woman who had
fallen overheard. A committee of one
was appointed to dive for her. He dove,
and brought the woman to the surface by
her hair. Just then it occurred to him
that he had not been ordered to bring her
to shore. So he let her sink again, and
swan to the bank to report progress and
ask Tor turther Instructions. Action was
taken upon the report, and after an excit-
ing discussion he was directed to land the
woman Immediately. He dove again and
dragged her out. None of the women in
Pottsville can hold their breath more than
an hour and half at a time, so when this
one was recovered she was dead. The
meeting said it was sorry, but it was vast
y more important that things should be
done decently and in order, and according
to rule. than that the life of a woman
| should be saved. The woman hasn't ex-
pressed her views yet.-lfar Adeler.

Stokes, NEXT TRIAL.

Probabilities Regn riding It-No Change
of Venue-The Case to Come UP i'm the
Next Term of the Court of Oyer and
Termincr.
1t seems that the indefniteness concerning
the next trial OF Edward S. Stokes for the
murder OF James Fisk, Jr., has to a certain extent
ceased, and that some arrangement is in prog
ress which will settle all difficulties between
the District Attorney and the prisoners
counsel. 1t is at least certain that no motion will
be made at present to admit the prisoner to bail.
A prominent Official in one OF the criminal courts
yesterday told reporter from the HERALD that no
Judge in New York would admit Stokes to bail in
the present stage of the case. There is no doubt
that he will pass at least this Summer in the Tombs
Prison.
The trial, the reporter learned from one Of the
District Attorneys assistants, will not take place
this term OF the Court of oyer and Terminer. The
present term of the Court will last until October
On that day the new term OF the Court opens, and
the case will be moved on one of the first on the
calendar OF the Court, and will probably come up
trial during the month before Justice Brady, OF
the Supreme Court
In the matter Of the change Of venue for the case
this could only be done by mutual agreement
between the District Attorney and the prisoners
counsel, and in no event will the District Attorney
consent to such u course. 1t Is only in its
being found impossible TO get Jury after reason
able lapse OF time that the prisoners counsel could
move for change Of venue. and then 1t Is question
whether it would be granted by the presiding Judge.
The District Attorney can see no reason for change
of venue and holds that under the new Jury law
which does away with triers and makes the Judge
the trier, and allows men to go on the Jury WHO
swear that, though having an impression, they can
decide impartlally ON the facts OF the case-when
the counsel for the defence have exhausted
thirty peremptory challenges, they are then
obliged to take whoever comes, III the
Judge so decide. Under this law the
prosecuting officers believe that Jury. will be
found very readily in New York, and therefore
that there will be no need to have it elsewhere.
II seems also to be the opinion Of these gentlemen
gree there will be no great difficulty in
Stokes getting bail. The District Attorney be-
lieves himself capable, however, OF counteracting
the eject OF any new evidence which may be
brought up by the counsel for the defence.

RECEPTION TO ENGLISH BAPTisTs.

The Central Baptist church in Bridge street,
Brooklyn, was well filed last night the occasion
being reception to the Rev. Messrs John Howe
and David Mcclellan who are visiting this country,
soliciting aid In the erection OF strict or close
communion Baptist college, which is being built
IN Manchester, England. These brethren came
over couple OF weeks ago, and attended
the memorial gathering III Richmond. Va,
lately. They have visited few other cities since
and have been heartily received and welcomed.
DR.. Sarles, pastor OF the Central church, welcomed
them last night, and both delegates made adj
dresses setting forth the feebleness Of close COM
munionists in England, and the fearful rayages
ana Inroads that open communionism is making
IN the churches and among the people. This
was the burden of their theme, and the
only countcractlng influence to this wasting
away OF the ancient and apostolic faith Is
the founding OF the institution In whose interests
tbey are now travelling. The few strict Baptist
churches that remain can't get ministers OF their
own way of thinking, and many OF the open CON-
munon churches have lost their church property

THE GREAT LEADING CRY OF the book trade is
the consumption or dry-rot which has overtaken
the business. There various explanations given:
one class of dealers attribute 1t TO undersclling;"
another. to the pushing of an overweening
quantity OF poor books on the part OF the pub
fishers; third, to the overcrowding OF the trade,
both wholesale and retail; fourth, to the absorb
ton by the daily and periodical press OF all the
time OF readers and OF most OF the intellectual
ability OF authors. There is little doubt that the
last Is the leading influence in the comparative de-
cline OF the book trade. There is talk OF some
great centennial publication OF a historical nature

The question has been raised as TO the
legality Of the election Of Mr.. A. j.
White as Alderman at the last meeting
Of the Board, but Eve Aldermen being
present when the election was held, and
the city charter expressly providing that
a majority of the Board (six) must be

ness. II is claimed, however, that after
one Alderman had resigned, thereby
making a vacancy, five was the legal
majority. We present both sides Of this
interesting question, which may go to
the courts for final adjudication.
