- ASerious Charge. e.-Simon Charles,G. g.
Murray, and Simeon Brady, all of Liver
pool and vicinity ARE charged with burn
ing and conspiring to burn the buildings
of Mrs Mary Charles for the purpose of
getting the insurance. One of the build
ings was burned several years since, and
the other was burned in April last, and on
this building the insurance company re-
fused to pay, and commenced an inves-
tigation, which has resulted in warrants
being issued for the arrests of the above
mentioned persons.
OTwo of the party were committed to
Jail at once, but Mr.. Charles expected to
be able to furnish bail. On Saturday
morning Mr.. Seller who he thought
would bail him, declined to do so, and
consequently, Charles took up his quar-
ters in Fort Gray. On Monday morning,
however Mr.. Seller having reconsidered
the matter, came over and entered bail
for Charles, and he was consequently
liberated. The matter is to be further
investigated on Saturday of this week
when the persons will be brought before
Judge Junkin on hubeds corpus.

An Excited Party. - On Wednesday
forenoon an excited party of four men
entered our village. They were from
Marysville and Fishing Creek and when
they entered the township they number
ed seven but three of them had branch
ed off, taking the Newport road, about
two miles south of Bloomfield. They
seemed terribly excited about something
and reminded person of dogs that
had suddenly lost the track of o fox
they had felt sure of. They were on the
hunt of some criminal, but told SO many
conflicting stories, that we concluded it
was not safe to take much stock in any
of them. 1t was said, however, that
they were on the hunt of q murderer
who had been tracked from Kentucky to
Marysville, at which point he left the
train, and from there traced as far as to
Witherow's mill. From here the four
divided their forces, two going up the
county, and two towards Newport. If
any of our readers should see the chap
that is wanted, will they please stop
him.

recent council in Virginia questions OF dress, though
less tine gwen to them than in some former years
Nothing whatever was said whether coats should be
with q standing rolling collar, or whether bap-
tism In pool is valid Five memorials were presented
complaint Of the editors Of newspapers OF the
denomination who had spoken " In unknd phrases" OF
straight ackes." " rOund-tailed coats and idoa-
trous clOthesreligOn." IL was recommended by a
mittee that these editors be asked to make humble
Acknowledgement Of their offences. A member requested
that the wearing Of hats by ladies be made bar to

hats The single and double modes OF feetwashing we're
considered It having been asked that full liberty be
given 70 use the single mode member from Southern
Illinois favored granting the liberty asked for and said
that OF the twenty-our churches in Southern Illinois
fourteen wash by the single mode. He thought 10
that the request be granted since would put end
all agitation OF the question but the council deferred
the until another year. Many readers perhaps do
know that the double mode where person
washes ana wipes the eet of another aud that the single
Is where one person washes ana another the
