When he recovered from the swoon, he tried to
to figure out
How he could stop that dreadful man from follow
ing him about;
At length he had a bright idea, and so to end the
fuss
He went at once TO Alfred Gray, and straight ad-
dressed him thus:
''Sir your espionage has been deleterious thing,
And if you won't pursue me when again take
wing,
I'll give you all the recipes I've laid upon the
shelf
And thus enable you to do the killing for your
self -
This generous proposition was accepted ON the
spot.
And Alfred Gray went off into the painters like
shot,
And many shortly were surprised upon the sign to

when not SO stimulated, this chemical
action is reversed; then they give out
carbonic acid and absorb oxygen, just as
animals do
The principal acids which form in
young fruits are malic, citric and tartaric,
and it is owing to the notifications of
these and others, with the same starchy
or dextrine base, that we have such
numerous varieties Of fruit, possessing so
many different favors. The slightest
change in the combination may do this
hence the varietal play we obtain even in
the same species of fruit. Who can other
wise account for the almost endless varie-
ties of apples and pears? By supposing
such different combinations, and by the
slight presence or absence of other ele-
ments, such as tannin, ETC., we have an
easy explanation of the facts. Tannin
usually disappears as fruit ripens, but
may linger slightly, and thus determine
the flavor Of a variety of fruit When the
surplus acids and the tannin of fruit have
disappeared, then the latter are at their
best. In a short time another change
sets in, and the fruit becomes insipid, as
every one knows who has kept it beyond
a certain time. The feshy substance of
apples then becomes woolly and tasteless.
Various degrees of the oxidation of the
acids Of fruit must also end in giving
them slightly different favors. For
nature knows no limit in her great
laboratory, having combinations to play
upon such as we are only just beginning
to comprehend-Cas seZps Magazine.

on Tuesday morning. since Wednesday
last. They slept none whatever for the
first four nights.
Then they started off for the west shore,
thinking that perhaps the ice there had
not separated from shore. The field on
which they were was several miles in ex-
tent, but as they travelled westward they
found it had broken up considerably, and
at length, on account of this, they were
compelled to stop their journey. They
returned then to the place from which
they first started and lay down for the
night, covering themselves with blankets.
The next day Thursday they started
westward again, and discovered that the
shanty that had floated with them had
disappeared. They then went to the
west shore, hoping that the ice would
drift that way.
The mems feet are slightly frozen, and
they are quite thin, but aside from this
are in good condition. McEwen thinks
Rundell deserted his (R.'s) partner, who
was with him when the ice broke, and,
therefore, upon reaching shore, was afraid
to give the alarm. Afterward, when he
found his partner had reached shore, he
was obliged to say something. He did
not mention having seen them until Sat
urday-three days after. He also told
several different stories. Bay City, Mich,

THE CASE OF THOMAS c. FIELDS SUSTAINED, AND A
NEW TRIAL ORDERED.
ALBANY, Nov. 10.-The following decision
was handed down to-day by the Court OF Appeals:
The People OF the State respondents, agt. Thomas C.
Fields appellant Is decided in favor OF the appellant
The action which the appeal was based brought
the moneys for which judgment recovered
upon the allegation that they were unlawfully and
York Fields the assignee OF several parties who
claimed members or certain engine companies OF
that city Under act OF the Legislature OF 1869 various
allegations OF fraud were nader in the complaint,
all of which Fields denied In his and OF which
no proof given on trial. The complaint charged
County OF New-YOrk and Fields to shield him from
prosecution for recovery OF these moneys This de-
MED the answer and was unsustanct by any proof
upon the trial. The complaint further charged that de-
fendant q member OF the Legislature in 1870, aud
voted the act OF that affecting the subject mat
OF the ISSUE and organized measures for procuring
its passage. The answer admitted the alleged member
ship and vote but ayerred that the provision In Gues
ton was "a section OF the city tax levy,
general act, without knowledge that it con-
tained the section in question 1t also denied that he
arranged organized measures to the passage
OF the act. On this latter point proof was given.
Judgment rendered against Fields for 1854 IS at
the Albany Circuit Court, In the summer OF lo3 and
the same affirmed at the General Term IN March Of
The year. The decision of the Court of Appeals
reyerses the decision OF the lower courts and grants

PROF.. SWINGS TRIAL.

HIS FRIENDS DECLINE TO APPEAL FROM THE SYNoD's
JUDGMENT TO THE GENERAL AssEMBLY-THR
sYNoDs ACTION WITHOUT WEIGHT AS A PRE-
CEDENT-ITs LACK OF JURISDICTION OVER THE
CASE.
Messrs. George C. NOyes, r. w. Patterson
and L. L. Hurd were recently requested by many
bers of the Synod of Illinois North" to make state
ment in their behalf persons belonging TO Presby
teran congregations in regard to their reasons for
"decning to complain to the General Assembly against
the action Of said Synod In the OF Patton
agt. SWING" The Committee have prepared their
statement.
AS the repIesentatv Of the dissenting members Of
the Synod they declare that they havee felt constrained
to make statement to the public regarding their do
cison lest their submission TO the judgment Of the
Synod in relation to the exraordnary prosecution
the victim OF 1t" should be Interpreted abandon
ment OF the Of reasonable liberty in the Church."
They further declare that their decision is not based
upon any msgivings in regard to the OF
the positions which they have taken I'm the
controversy. The grounds OF their judgment FOL
lows First they regard the decisions OF the synod In
this being 80 manifestly erroneous" that the
must fail to make any deep impression upon
public mind. This belief they base upon the course Of
the fact Of Prof. swings withdrawal and claiming the
right him if he stu in the Church also in
entertaining the appeal OF Prof Patton who had ad
mted that he had not been aggueved" by any action
of his Presbytery ana lastly, in declaring Prof Swing
his name from the roll when it was not on their rOl"
Secondly, the Synod for some reason reduced to
q smaller number at the time Of rendering the final
Judgment in the case than was the Chicago Presbyery
when 1t acquitted Prof Swing; and with three four
exceptions the minority of the Synod did not vote be.
cause they denied the SynOds jurisdiction Thirdly,
the competency OF the two courts might well be brought
into comparison, the synod hearing only side the
and spending less hours in hearing testimony than
the Presbytery did days. Fourthly the final decision
OF the Synod did not seriously affect either the Presby-
terry or Prof Swing, leaving him just where he was
before the Synod me-0ut Of the Church. The report
Of the Committee ends with these words: The only
reason we can think Of for carrying the matt er to
higher s that the false principles affirmed by the
majority OF the Synod ought to be condemned But as
the Synods proceedings In the case were exraordi
nary. contradictory, aud unconstitutional we can.
imagine that their final decision will have any moral
weight IN the present or any force precedent the
future. May such be few and far
between in the future history OF our beloved Church."
