ANTHONY CoMsToCK ARRESTED.

The appearance of Anthony Comstock agent Of the
Society for the Suppression of Vice. in the Yorkvle
Police Court yesterday afternoon. created quite q
sensation for he not in his usual character Of
complainant. but as prisoner. The charge against
him made by Mrs. Fanny Hoffman, wife of
Joseph Hoffman, collector for q brewery. who
resides at No. l56 East Fifty-second street. She
averred that Comstock had assaulted her by vio-
lently laying hold of her by the arm. JUS
tice Smith, before whom the was
brought, unable to grant immediate
examination and set down the hearing for November
26. Mrs. Hoffman declined making known the de-
tails Of her grievance till she called to do at
the formal investigation. Comstock was more COM
municative. He said he ignorant of what
grounds the action could be brought on. Some time
before he had encountered Mrs. Hoffman he had
been notified by various respec ladies' living in
her neighborhood that they had received letters
through tho mails Astounding in personal vilifcation.
He said he procured several of the Objectionable
communications, all of them written by tho
same hand. and he stated he had traced
them to Mrs. Hofmans house, and called upon
her to inquire about them. He had his assistant,
Mr.. Britton, with him. All that passed was
versation of short duration, during which he said
the lady acknowledged that several of the letters
not even to shake hands. Some time after he said
the lady called at his office. She shook hands with
him. he said in friendly way. and during the SUBJ
sequent conversation never limited that he had
mitted any impropriety. Mr.. Comstock said that he
did not propose making any accusations against her
at present. but would tell the whole story at the
proper time.

THE HANCOCK WILL CASE.

merchant Of this city. lately admitted to pro-
bate in Rockland county after litigation of fve
years duration. The deceased. who had accumu-
lated handsome fortune in the jobbing business,
left will in which the bulk of his property was
left TO various charities. such as tho News
boys Home, tho American Missionary AS
sociation and Kipp's Bay Mission, while
his relatives--two sisters, some ncphews
and others-were only remembered with moderate
egacies. Under this will the Rev. A. Stewart Walsh
appointed executor of the estate. Subsequent

added by the cstator by which his previous benevo-
lent intentions revoked and the bulk of hts
fortune left to his relatives. The Rcv. A.
Stewart Walsh. as representative of the charities
above alluded to and also on his own behalf-as tho
sum OF $4,000 bequeathcd to him under tho
original wil--contested the codicils, and the
contest has been waging bitterly for the past
hvo years. On the part of tho contestants

grossly exaggerated.
All his friends certainly have not lost
faith III him for the following resolution has
been adopted by the George NJ butcher

this club to visit Mrs butcher AT Whining

On Saturday morning last, our temper
ance delegation, McssrS. Il. JetferiS, A
Lambert, 5. NJ. Day, |. y. benjamin and
Rev. W. l.. :. Murray, returned from the
annual convention OF the State Temperance
Alliance. held in Baltimore. last week, much
rlat'ai over the apparent success "f the TEN
pcrancr .ausr. Their HOPES and cApccta-
tiuns OF local option in the entire State have
been considerably strengthened. Mr.. Muir
ray has come home full and We doubt not
but he will boil over one of these evenings
when we are least thinking of it, Look
out for him.
Revs. MessrS Murray and Thomas filled
the NJ +. pull pit, last Sabbath. Mr.. Muir
ray gave an intereStin" discourse from the
text Grow in Grace" which waS very ap-
propriate and we'll applied He remarked
that he was aStoniShed TO see the Sabbath
desecrlted in North Eas, with such impu-
nifty. He understood that 4 few years ago.
Sabbath breakers We're arrested and punish
ed, hut now the fish teams could line our
streets during the day and the shop keepers
dispensed their SegarS without fear of mo-
Hesitation.
We would add that this town seems To be
on the retr"grade, although it has been
styled the " Garden of Eden our vii
and two churches, yet the highest tribunal
of the place is a rum seller.
Many church members who claim to
grow i'll grace lead prayer meetings,
eNhort, and if called upon can deliver Il fair
temperance address and a,lmoniSh the men,
hers TO abstain from the use OF StimulantS,
Int If You have an election for town COM
miSSioncrS they VIII vote for Il rum seller in
preference to - temperance man Of equal
business capacity.
We would Just remark that So long rs the
churches prefer to have law and order dis
penSed by the rum sellers they never can
expect 10 escape the indccorouS conduct of
the inehria;tS on the street. This must he
the class of Christians Paul wrote about
when he said: For the time will come
when they will not endure sound doctrine,
but after their own luStS shall they heap to
themselves teachers (rum scilcrS) having
itching ears. and they shall turn away their
ears from the truth and shall he turned
unto fables.
