Fortunately it will be in the Fishes, in clear place where these are no stars of any size, and if your readers see anything there. it will be the great traveller which took it's name from the Messenger of the Gods.

 MT. Lunian Oviatt, who lived more than a a mile West of them, told Mr Baldwin that

MT. Baldwin took him up and started for home but could not carry him; laying him down, he ran back towards the houses and Noah Humphrey heard him and came with three others and they carried him home where he died in three hours. It is supposed that the horse was frightened by partridge, forit jumped of from the road, and when it came back it tore the boys coat and overcoas off,

 Possibly, Chief Justice Camegys of Dela wars when he denounced Bob. Ingersol's re-. cent lecture at Wilmington as blasphemy and called attention to the fact that blasphemy is a common-law offence. and also, probably a crime under the statutes of all the older States set in motion suggestion that will bear fruit If he is right, some one may institute prose- cution. Of course, there would be great howl about ''violation of the right of free speech, but this right does not include the privilege of breaking the laws. Public senti ment would undoubtedly sustain such pros ecution. - Bridgeport Farmer.
 How would the matter of principle stand in the foregoing case? MT Ingersoll hires hall in Wilmington and announces that he will speak therein on religion. His views are very well known-nobody goes that does not wish to-and nobody is shocked unless he went there hoping to be shocked. Suppose Inger- soil denies the inspiration of Scripture and the divinity of Christ. Has he not right so to do? If he has not. then every publisher of Hnxley's lectures, or Buckles History or Theodore Parkers Sermons is open to indict- ment. There is no genuine religious freedom unless there is the same right to disbelieve that there is to believe If the Christians of Delaware could pillory Ingersoll, the Nor mons of Utah (should that territory ever be admitted as state) would have constitu. tional right 10 hang every Christian minister who ventured to preach in Salt Lake city. It. strikes us that the safest rule is that of our own constitution which protects men in the profession of any religious views whatsoever. 'provided that the right hereby declared and established shall not be 80. construed as to ex- cuse acts of lice1tiousness, or to justify prac- tices inconsistent with the peace and safety of the State.
