An Important Church Decision,


Judge Balcom OF the Sixth Distric,
Supreuae Court OF New York has jlsi
given his decision on question about
which there has been many conflicting
legal opinions. In the spring OF 1873
the Reformed Church OF Ithaca, n. Y.
voted to change their church policy 10
that Of the Congregational dcnomina-
tion, one member alone objecting. AS
congregational Society they took po-
session Of the echurch property and sold
the parsonage. upon which suit was
brought by the single dissenting mem
Der 10 recover both these for the Re.
formed Chur;h. The Judge held that.
though large part Of the property
may have been given exclusively 10 the
Reformed Church as such, yet as long as
the definite object Of organization re-
mained the same, there were no legal
grounds for preventing the majority
Of the members of any church adopting
what mode Of government they thought
best, and accordingly the Congregations
al denomination now holding this pro-
perty werc entitled TO such possession.

at the hands of negro, on Sunday night
the 18th inst. His body was not recovered
until some days after, while his wagon lay

that he had encamped for the night and the
murderer found no resistance to his dastardly
deed. 1t is said that he has two sons now

The Diamond Ring Matter.
An item in this mornings local column,
referring to diamond ring, the property
of C. w. Lowell, was erroneous so far as the
arrest and imprisonment of Mr.. Wood were

GRusEwALD HALL.-The summer con-
certs under the able mana ment of Prof.
r. Meyer are gradually growing into public
favor, and taking a strong hold upon the
music-loving portion of this community.
The concert last evening embraced selec-
tions Of lighter order and were heartily
applauded by the large and fashionable au-
dience present. A novel feature in the way
of piece of vocal music was introduced
last evening. We cannot say that this re-
ceives our appreciation. These concerts
should be devoted exclusively to instru-
mental music, or they will lose their pecu-
liar prestige. New Orleans has had enough
of vocalization during the past season.

SMALL Boy oNA Hoo The
following is a composition Of a
school boy on a hog: "A hog
is a big pig, but a little pig is
not a big hog. There are three
kinds Of hogs-white hogs,
black hogs and and two-legged
hogs. The meanest and con-
trariest of all hogs is the two>
legged hog. IF you want to
drive a hog any where, You
must drive him the contrary
way. Hogs arc like women in
that respect you can drive 'en
better by coaxing. In othel
ways hogs amt like women
except as daddy says, they are
never satisfied, and always !
grunting. A hog has ten legs
two four legs. that's eight, and
two hind legs, that's ten
Folks call them hams. Daddy
likes hams best he says he ha.
the cold shoulder SO often ht
is tired oft"

A gentleman and lady who

A gentleman and lady who
occupied the same seat on an
eastern bound rain of cars in
Ohio, recently, casually fall
ing into conversation, found
that they both belonged in
Boston and were going home.
On their arrival at the depot in
Boston, they both got into the
same hack, and the hackman
having inquired Of the man
where he wanted to go, he re-
piled, ,"No. 12. street" " You
may leave me at the same
place" said the lady. The man
was a good deal surprised,
but when they arrived at
the house they found that they
had been living in adjourning
houses, the entrances to which
were not three feet apart, fol
several years, and had not
known each other.
