MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

The sub committee of the investigating
committee of Plymouth Church held no meet
ing this evening. Mr.. Winslow will return
to the city tomorrow and submit his work to
the sub committee for revision. Assistant
pastor Halliday during the past few days has
visited most of the members of Beecher's
congregation, and Notwithstanding all reports
to the contrary, none signified their intention
of Withdrawing from membership, but strong
ly assured Halliday that they would stand by
their church and its beloved pastor, express
ing belief in his entire innocence of the
charges preferred against him.
The prospect of report from the investi-
eating committee, on Friday evening, is so
good that the trustees have directed the
church to be made ready for use, in case the
lecture room proves inadequate to accomo-
date the number who who doubtless will de-
sire to be present.
AT 9 o'clock this morning Moulton sent for
Tilton, and their interview lasted several
hours.
Tilton's statement, it is expected, will be
completed Tomorrow.
Moulton said to another reporter to- day, 81

possession belonging to Mr.. Beecher that does

Mr.. Beecher left this afternoon by the Fall
River Route for the White Mountains. He
evidently considers the case closed, and told
his friends that he anticipated his trip with
great pleasure.

pleasant words had passed between US, he
said to me Mary, have you pen aud ink? l
want you to write something for me; you
know what scrape 1 am in, and want you
to shield me, for if this thing gets out am
ruined man. Then he began to dictate some
thing for me to write, and refused to do it,
because it was false. He drew revolver
from his pocket and told me must write it.
l was very much frightened, and all seemed
dark and blank to me. ! wrote whatever he
told me, but what it was cannot tell, except
that it was something to shield him, and set
him right before the public and church.
/ signed my name to the paper and it is now
in his possession. suppose the paper alud-
ed to is the evidence upon which Glenden-
ming mainly relied for his defence

calling three or four times week and re-
naming until the small hours of the morning.
On leaving her he was in the habit of kissing

DR.. SCHENCK'S
Pulmonic Syrup, Sea. Weed Tonic,
and Mandrake Pills.

These medicines have undoubtedly performed
more cures OF Consumption than any other remedy
known to the American public. They are com.
pounded ofvegetabe ingredients, and contain moth.
ing which can be injurious to the human constitu.
ton.
Other remedies advertised as cures for Cousump-
ton, probably contain opium, which Is a somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases and if taken freely by
consumptive patients, it must do great injury; for
lts tendency is to conflne the morbid matter in
the system, which, of course must make q cure
impossible.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain Il particle of opium 1t is composed of pow
erul but harmless herbs, hch act theungs, liv-
er, stomach and blood and thus correct all morbid
secretons, and expel all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which
sumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonc
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are
the only medicines which operate in this way it is
obvious they are the only genuine cure for Pumon.

medicine is accompanied by iull directions.

"that my honor has been impugned, and by a
man who impugns his own in so doing, and
shall publish my statement in full, exactly as
it was written at first. 1t is already in print
er's hands, and the printer had promised that
everything should be ready in time for the
statement to appear in the morning and even
ing journals of Saturday night"
The following letter was addressed by Til
tons attorney to Rev. Henry Ward Beecher
on Monday -
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, Sir We

commence a suit against you. Will you
please indicate the attorney who is authorized
to appear in your behalf, so that we may
serve the papers upon him.
Yours, &C.,
(Signed) Morris & Pearsall.

Messrs. Morris and Pearsall, Gents I'm
Outstanding that you contemplate the COM

Mr.. Theodore Tilton against Rev. Henry

upon US, either at our Office or, if service can
be made before II A. NJ, at No. 81 Hicks

Judge Morris, in reply to reporter who
asked whether there was a foundation for the
publication in the Chicago Tribune of an al
legged letter from Mrs. Tilton to her husband
said 81 will not say that | have seen such a
letter, but DO say that when Mr.. Beecher's
whitewashers and Mr.. Beecher's apologists
come to hear what the evidence in this case
is and what have in my power to produce
when it goes into court, they will be amazed,
simply amazed"
