THE "REFo2HRD EPISCOPAL CHURCH."-A
meeting of clergymen and others, summoned by
Bishop CummiLs, late of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church, met in in New York yesterday, and
FORMED new ecclesiastical organization, known
as the Reformed Episcopal Church. DR.. Cum
minis was called to the chair, and appointed
committee, Who promptly reported a declara-
tionof principles. This declaration of princi-
pies is preceded by resolution designating the
new organization as the "Reformed Episcopal
Church. and recognizing DIR. Cummins as its
presiding Bishop. The articles OF the declara-
ton are but four in number, and brief. The
chief points in which they take issue with the
Protestant Episcopal Church are in recognizing
the Episcopacy as ''not of Divine right, but as
a very ancient and desirable form of church
policy" in adopting for use the Prayer Book re-
vised and recommended by the convention Of
1865, and in further condemning and rejecting
what Is styled certain erroneous and strange
doctrines, in regard to which there always has
and still is much difference of opinion among
the lsity and clergy OF the church. The declae
ration was adopted, and the meeting was regu-
iai ~ vI nj zed Sc the first council of the Re.
formed Episcopal Church.

AN OLD MAN KILLED FOR HIS MoNRY.-A
cold hlooded murder was perpetrated last Sun
DAY night IN the vicinity of the unpretentiOuS
village of New Texas, some seven miles distant
from Pittsburg, Pa, the victim being Joseph
Kerr, an old and inoffensive man, who followed
the occupation of shoe making. The old mans
place OF business is quite handy TO his dwelling,
ana Saturday night, as was frequently the case,
he slept in his shop. Nothing more was seen or
heard OF him until Sunday morning, when a
neiehbor, on going to his door and rapping, no
response was received. He finally forced open
the door. On the bed lay Kerr dead, with his
throat dreadfully cut and skull broken in, as
though done with heavy piece of iron. The
interior of the shop was in great disorder, as if
the person who committed the deed had accom-
plished II for the purpose OF plumber. Samuel
Beigfey. who short time since had been in
the employ of Kerr, was arrested on the charge
of being the murderer of the old man. His boo's
were splashed with blood, while various por-
tons of his coat and pantaloons were stained
red. On being searched, about 500 in money
was found in his possession, which seems in
excess of anything he would be likely to earn
honestly.
