Usurpor Tawhins," charged that Judge
Hawkins waH guilty Of perjury md yenality,
and milo an inaammatory appeal to tho public
Of n naturo tending to provoko mob violence.
Judge Hawkins at once brought IN action for
libel, and Judge Cooley vas ono of tho parties
engaged III tho prosecution. Tho defendants, On
tho trial, otrerod to prove perjury in general
torms, but tho Court would not admit tho toBti-
mony, and decided TINT tho defendants must

If the Council ovorrulo tho veto, then the ordi-
nance will stand as originally passed. II thoy do

Tho ordinance makes the largest appropriation
ever yot mado In Chicago. It must bo remen-
bered, however, TINT it includes tho whole o1pon-
dture, and that thcro aro not, us in former

traordinary expenditure Of $500, 900 for tho con-
struction Of Sewers to ropair deficiency and

provisions every day, from Mrs. G. o. Da-
yis 81 25 cash from Rev. Mr.. Coyle. The
ladies have assumed the entire support of
six children, besides giving daily meal to
the scholars of the school. They
feel greatly encouraged by the wants
of the Home being so remarkably supplied.
No extra money has yet been needed for
this department. The newly organized
sewing society, auxiliary to the mission have
become responsible for clothes for the chill
dren which they make and. mend at their
servings on Thursday afternoons, which are
free to all. Amy remnants of goods or
part worn clothing will at any time be CRATE
fully received to aid in their work. The
night school is still continued and the val
liable time of few ladies and gentlemen is
given to the work. A few small contribu
tions are needed to defray the incidental
expenses of this department.

On Sabbath last, Rev. I. D. King, who
for three years past has been pastor of the
Commerce-street NJ. E. Church, of this
city, preached his farewell sermons. He
preached in the morning to large cengre-
cation. from the text: "And as it is APP
pointed unto men once to die, but after this
the Judgment" He spoke in very earnest
and affecting manner. referring to the years
he had spent among this people, the changes
that had been wrought in the church, the
congregation, and in himself; of the changes
that naturally take place in an itinerant
life. The church in the evening was well
filed He took for his text, " Farewell" :"
The sympathies of the congregation were
evidently with this pastor. Mr.. King has
labered faithfully among us for three years,
and has won many friends both in and out
of his church. His health during the past
year has been so delicate that he has had to
refrain from too much labor. He will be
missed in many household, and takes with
him the best wishes of all for his future
prosperity and speedy return of health. 1t
will be regretted by his many friends that
the state of his health will compel him to
be released for a time from the active duties
of the ministry.
