was erected. There may have been some mis-.
take about the kind of bones. Perhaps they
were the bones of deceased goat belonging 10

TrOdble With Mexico.

Difficulty has arisen with our neighboring
republic of Mexico, which may result in war,
but it is to be hoped that peaceful solution
of the affair will be reached. The trouble
grew out of the arrest and Imprisonment at
Ell Paso del Norte, Mexico, by the Mexican
authorities of an American citizen named A.
X. Cutting. Cutting was the editor of a
newspaper in E Paso, on the American side
of the Rio Grande. Recently he began the
publicationat Paso del Norte. on the Mexi-
can side of the River, ola Spanish newspaper
called El Centineld. A Mexican named
Medina issued prospectus for paper which
he intended to establish and Cutting made
some criticisms upon his proposed business
competitor. Medina forced an apology from
him on Mexican soil, but Cutting renewed
the controversy on the Texas side by publish
ing in the Ell Paso Herald of Sunday, June
Goth, card in which he reiterated his original
assertion that Medina was a fraud and offer
ing to give him American satisfaction at
any time or in any manner. The newspaper
containing this card was circulated in Paso
del Norte, and Cutting having crossed the
river into Mexico was arrested. For month
he was confined in the low adobe Jail without
even being allowed to offer bail, but on July
21st, at an unreasonable hour he was hurried
to the Supreme Court of chihuahua was
offered his freedom upon bail, but, on the ad-
vice of the American Consul at Paso del
Norte, he declined the offer and said 81 am
now in the hands of my government and
ignore your court altogether" Then he was
returned to Jail, where he still remains.
There is Mexican law which provides
for the trial and punishment in Mexico of
offences committed in other countries. Be-
sides, there is new Mexican law for the
special government of newspaper men, which
provides that these unfortunates may, at the
pleasure ofany Judge, be imprisoned for II
term not exceeding one year on suspicion
only and without trial
AS soon as information of Cuttings con-
tinued detention was received at Washing
ton Secretary Bayard promptly demanded his
release and an explanation. The affairs is
now in the hands of the two governments
and will probably be settled without resort
to arms. The Mexcans, however, are very
defiant, and their attitude has caused great
excitement along the border. They have
sent several thousand troops to Paso
del Norte and are throwing up earthworks.
The Mexican press is very beligerent and
wants the government to listen to no negotia-
tions whatever. The Mexicans think that
in the event ola war, Southern soldiers
would hasten to their aid to fight against the
United States government. In this they
would be very much mistaken. When
volunteers are called for by the federal
government every Southern State will send
her full quota oftrained soldiers, in obedience
to the call of their country.

A VENERABLE CoUPLE.-Capt. John GraRt
and wife, of New Orleans, arrived in Bel Air,
last Saturday, where they were met by Capt
Grants brother, MIR. George Grant, of Fountain
Green, and taken to his home. Capt and Mrs.
Grant called on President Cleveland as they
passed through Washington. He told tie Pres-
dent that he was in his Goth year; that he had
104 grandchildren and cat-grandchildren, the
most of them Democratic voters. Seventy-fve
of his rs grandchildren are living. He also said
he had taken part in every Presidential contest
since the election of Monroe, and had shaken
hands with every President except Washington.
Capt. Grant carries himself erect, walks briskly,
the only signs of age he shows being his white
hair. The President received them cordially
Mrs. Grant told the President she was only ~
and had to watch over her aged husband like a
mother over young boy. We hope their visit
to Hartford will be pleasant.

BAPTISM IN BUSH RIvER.-During the last
intervals at Bell Farm, Gunpowder Neck the
residence of Mr.. VIM. j. Owens, by brother"
Henry Dauterich, of the "Church of God in
Christ jesus As result of these services
Mrs. Owens and Miss Susie Smith were baptized
into the church, about two months ago. Service
was again held at the same place on Sunday,
18th instant, at which Mr.. Owens himself and
his uncle John Smith, venerable gentleman of
70 years, were also baptized. About so persons
were present, who were addressed by Morris b.
slawson, Adolph Tuerke and Henry Dauterich,
brethren from Baltimore. Services, for the
present, will be continued at the residence OF
Mr.. Owens.
The people known as "The Church of God in
Christ Jesus" assemble every Sunday afternoon
in Baltimore. They do not apply the title
"Revercnd" to the officiating brethren, but
simply "brethren," for the reason that the title
"Reverend'' occurs but once in the "Holy
Scriptures Psalms III: % and in them is no
where applied to man. The tenets of the
church are set forth in The Witness, a paper
published in Baltimore. One of their cardinal
doctrines is that Jesus Christ, prior to his re-
surrection He was entirely mortal; that after his
resurrection was made immortal, infinite in
wisdom and almighty in power. They regard
baptism by immersion as essential to salvation !;
believe in the general resurrection and that the
earth will be the eternal home of the saved.
