PICTURES FROM BROOKLYN.

COMMENCEMENT OF THE Defence
SKETCHES IN THE COURT ROOM
BEECHEn IN PRAYER MEETING-WHAT
A srAUNToN MAN sEEs-AN UNLUCKY
WITNESS FOR THE DEFENCE,
&C., nc, &c.
The plaintiffs counsel having closed
their evidence, the defence commenced
theirs in the Beecher-Tilton case on Tues
day. We give below some interesting
pictures Of scenes in the court room;
WHAT A sTAUNTon MAN SEES IN THE
/. t.fs-l : BROOKLYN TRIAL.
We have read with interest private let
ter from Staunton physician, now resi-
ding in New York, who dropped in on the
BROOKLYN trial on the 18th inst. The Wri-
ter says :sg sks 1888 3ua
| had the "cheek, y as the yankees say,
to call on Judge Morris, one OF Tilton's
lawyers, and asked him for permit to en-
ter the court room. The old gentleman
was very courteous and gave me card
which admitted me among the members Of
the bar | occupied d nice chair about SIX
seats from the Judge and had full view
OF the drdna0t5s persoAae. / went in du-
ring recess and left at the door q long col
umn, many Of whom had been there since
10 A. M, without being able to get in
though all had tickets. My ticket admit
ted me through the lawyers entrance and
| had no trouble in getting one OF the re-
served seats. Gen. Tracy confined him
self very closely to his manuscript. He
doesn't compare in ability with Baldwin,
Sheffey or Cochran. To give emphasis to
sheer at Theodore and the mutual
friend" he brought his fist down on his pa
pers and scattered them all around which
contretemps. put d very abrupt period to his
argument for the day and the Judge had
to adjourn the court sometime before the
usual hour Evalts reminds me of the
late Gen. Harper. Beecher looks some
thing like Judge Christian, and his wife
very much like Charlotte Cushman though
her face is much sWeeter and far more
feminine than that Of the famous TRACE
aienne. The presiding Judge resembles
Mr. Glendy of Bath. AS for Elizabeth,
one is at a loss to imagine how such a
little body could stir up such q row.
There is however something attractive
about her face and on a better acqualnt-
ance, she may have a Mark Tapley way
of coming out strong, Though the difficult
ties would be decidedly strong.

A BAPTIST CLERGYMAN WHO REFUSES

J. Hyatt Smith, pastor Of the Lee Avenue
Baptist church in Brooklyn, who was shut
out of the Long Island Association Tor his
belief in open communion, has worked hard
to build up his church, and among the i'm
provements he has. comfortable baptistry.
A throng of applicants have come to him
to be baptized. Many of these belong to
close communion churches, and will not
join Hyatt Smiths church, although they
desire to be immersed by him.. At. his
latest baptism service he said that he should
baptize no more, and added ''Where per-.
sons have come to us in good faith, and an
examination has shown that they were tru-
ly penitent and desired to part with their
past errors, | have received and baptized
them whether they connected themselves
with the church Or not. But when they have
come to US asking us to baptize them that
they may connect themselves with other
Baptist churches hereafter, I have refused
to do it; for the Lee-avenue church has
not yet descended quite so low as to take
in washing" l.t.

the matter, and discovered yesterday that
the pieces are portions Of genuine bills OF
the Canajohare National Bank, and that the bills have
been IN circulation Further than that nothing has been
discovered except that the officers OF tho bank tele

have been sent ~ the Redemption Bureau OF the
Treasury Department, but whether the bills were
