the Right Rev. c. A. Cox. EpiscOpalian
bishop of Yves tern New York, on 1.-The school
question, ;" in his address before the Diocesan
conference recently bel in LOckport. Bishop
Ryan boldly accuses his EpiScopalian brother
of being "On the fence" regarding 1.-THE school
question" and begins a review OF DR.. Cox i'm
the following manner :-''As the school cues
ton has been made the pre;eXt for these vi
Imperative and slanderOus charges and as a

who place party above principle and truth.

OF the public schools, /, too, will avail my
self of the occasion once more 10 put on rec
ord our oft and clearly expressed views on
this absorbing question, views 1 opine not
very different from those enunciated by our

retaltate on his Catholic critic, this will be
the third contest in which these respective
champions have broken lances.
THE SCHOOL GIRL TRAGEDY-"Bm Dreac
Did LA dispatch from Concord. n. H.,
says: The excitement over the Penn broke
murder case has been revived. At an early
hour yesterday Josiah Carpenter, of Pitts
field, went 10 SuncoOk and informed Officer
Hildreth OF some facts which, If true, will
have an important bearing on the case. He
reports that Miss Lake, who taught school
three years since at Pembroke, boarding at
Langmaid's and who has since corresponded
with the deceased, arrived at her home in
Chichester the day following the murder,
and when informed OF ii, at once exclaimed.
"Bill Drew did it," giving as the reason that
Josie Langmaid told her Drew had several |
times grossly insulted her, and threatened |
il she told ner father he would kill her and |
cut her into inch pieces. Drew still protests
bis innocence and does not exhibit the least |
anxiety or ner vousness at his position. A
pair OF stockings were found yesterday near
the scene of the murder, evidently worn and
cast aside, which 1t is thought may add |
something to the case. II is also said Drew
bad carried about his person a sharp dirk |
knife for years, and 1T is not to be found now

Tor stroke 10 Hope, and he careIessly picked
