Tho Supremacy of The Laws.

As previously announced, this was the
subject of Rev. w. b. Bingham's discourse
at the Presbyterian church last Sabbath.
Mr. bingham is one of Gods ambassadors
who combines the highest type of moral
and Christian courage with classical
and scholarly culture and polished adj
drcss, and taking into account the vast
amount Of lawlcssness with which our
land has of late been cursed, it is not too
much to say that his sermon On this Occa-
sion was worthy to he written in letters
Of fire, where it could meet the constant
gaze of every person of our beloved COM
monwcalIh. At our request, VIC have
been furnished copy of this sermon for
publication, and will lay it before our
readers in next weeks LEADER.

morning after Il very laboriOus session of

ot-SOmc old eases that have hung fire for
! years We're tried and disposed of. Two
wrltS of UdbCdS COJpHS were tried. The

! He is in Jail, charged with arson, in de
/ fault of fifteen hundred dollar bond
writ sued ont to have the bond reduced,
and after careful investigation, the
Chancellor reduced the bond to eight
! hundred dollars. HAYNES has not been
able to find the eight hundred dollar bond
/ as yet, and perhaps is bnt little benefit
! ed by the reduction. Henry jackson vs..
/ the State, charged with the murder of
Robert James, ON the night of the 3rd
ult Jackson was i'll Jail without the
/ privilege of bail. The trial resulted in
granting him hail III the sam of two thou
sand dollars-the bond given to be joint
and several and security undOubted. This
will hardly benefit the prisoner much, as
/ he will hardly be able to find bail in that
amount. The most of or citizens do not
believe that he should have had the pri-
yilrYc of bail in any sum, as the murder
was an atrociouS one.

 remembered the home of my childhood, AS it stood on the brow of the hill Though in lands far away have wandered, Sweetest mem'ries cling round 1t still. Twas an odd old. fashioned red farmhouse, Half-covered with clambering vines, And around the wide porch at the entrance The woodbine and ivy still twine. And standing within it's cool shadow One could look to the eastward away, Across the green stretches of meadow, At the farmers at work 'mong the hay And see the daisy crowned pastures,
 Beyond the long lane and tho gate, Where all through the warm summer evenings Star and Clover would patiently wait. Within there was nothing of grandeur, But the rooms were cosy and bright, And @ charm fingered round the old fireplace Where we used to gather at night. There was Belle and Fannie and Gerald, Laughing Dick and stately Sophie, And Alice, the pet of the household,
 While the twins were Willie and I. There was never a happier circle;
 Grief and trouble were strangers there; For around our family hearth-stone
 There was then no vacant chair. But too soon was the little band broken, For just at the close of the day, The ''pale reaper" came Der the reshold And bore Alice, our baby, away. And now 9he old farmhouse is vacant
 One sleeps in southern grave, While Gerald and Fannie are resting
 Beneath old Oceans wave. And far in the wilds of Wyoming
 Are the homes of Dick and Sophie, While the restless billowy Ocean
 Rolls between Willie and I. I know not whether in years to come
 My home may be palace or cot, But the dear old home of my childhood Will never be forgot.
