LYMAN BEEoHER LECTURES.

Rev. pr. Taylor's Lecture Yesterday The Scotch Covenanters-A Crowd. ed Chapel.
 Notwithstanding the rain the Marquaud chsdel was well filled yesterday afternoon when Dr. Taylor rose to deliver his lecture. While each of his lectures has been a rare treat this was considered the best in the course thus far. Before continuing upon the subject of the lecture of the day before, he paused to consider the historical facts necessary to an appreciation of the lecture. After the union of England and Scotland 1t was sought to establish Episcopacy in Scot land by royal authority. The desire of the Stuarts was checkmated, however. By the "Glasgow aot'' in 1869 two hundred Glasgow pastors left their focks, and soon after two hundred more. This great number of min isters formed the body which was termed the "outed ministers" The people sought their old pastors in conventioles; they met on the hills with no covering but the blue sky above them. The covenanters acted singly, each for himself
 Robert Leighton was a man born out of due time, with something of the ascetic and
 
 man of definite views, but he did not care to fight for them. Ordained as a Presbyterian minister, he was afterwards made a bishop. He accepted the office of bishop in the hope that he could be media tor between the two contending parties. Holding himself aloof from the cruelty then practiced, he regarded as traitor by the Presbyterians, and treated criminal by Episcopalians. Now, when the smoke and l ia1 JS inAr n oha-S So felt more than that of any other man of his generation. He was Calvinist, but was far in advance of his predecessors in thought and work. He put old truths into grand forms, bringing the beauty of his exquisite style and the force of his eloquence to bear. He is the only preach CT of his time whose sermons we can read with enjoyment. All his writings belong to the Presbyterian portion of his life. As a biblical expositor he was above his own age, and as theologian few have surpassed him. Dr. Taylor earnestly recommended his work to the students as grand type of devotional and prayerful helps to the soul His plan was to unite Episcopaey and Presbyterian ism, a plan which proved to be nothing but a devout imagination.
 It is impossible to form an unbiased judg- ment of the men of these times. We know, however, that the men who preached in the conventioles were of high order. They aimed at full presentation of the gospel and made passionate appeals to their hearers to accept salvation immediately. Their remarks contained many references to the trials of the times and the prosecutions placed upon them, yet Jesus Christ was the theme and substance of their sermons, and the ten years during which the Scottish na- tion met thus were referred to as period of special refreshing and revival. In speaking of Cameron and others Dr. Taylor made sev- eral poetical quotations which beautifully adorned his own words. The next lecture will be given next Thursday afternoon at three o'clock.

HIS HEAD BLOWN OFF.

David Miller of WestV1lle Commits
 Suicide By Blowing His Brains out
 With His Shotgun-Religfon the
 Cause.
 Yesterday morning before o'clock David H. Miller, twenty-six years of age, who lives with his mother and sister directly in front of Newton's ice houses in WestVille and about one-eighth of a mile from them, took up his double barrelled shotgun and told his mother that he would go hunting, the weather was suitable, and so he left the house, his mother little thinking that he would be brought back dead. About 4 o'clock his mother thought she would go out in the field near the ice houses to bring in the COWS, as David had not returned. She started out, taking the path which led down by the ice house, and as she rounded the cor ner of one of them she nearly fell over the body of her son, who lay on his back with his gun resting across his breast and the top of his head blown of, his brains being scat tered around on the ground. Mrs. Mille CT rushed back to the house and said that CT son was dead and to summon help. In less than quarter of an hour large crowd had found their way to the scene of the tragedy. Coroner Mix was notified and he at once sent Medical Examiner White to investigate the case. When Dr. White arrived the body lay on it's back with the muzzle of the gun pointed towards the head, the top of which was blown completely off above the eyes and the face and body GOV cred with blood and hairs. At the side of the body near by lay a notched stick, and MT. Miller had probably laid down on his back after cutting the stick and placing the gun, the right barrel of which only was dis charged, across his breast, with the muzzle bis, o,11a 1fob i,, k,;~- ger and pressed it with his hand, 50 dis charging the gun. Miller was single man and drove an ice wagon for Newton at odd times, and the reason for his killing hi mself cannot be accounted for unless he was made crazy by religion. He has not been noticed being Respondent of late, and the people who know him well say the only thing about him out of the way was hiss strict atten- tion to religion, which at time seemed to bother him greatly. After the medical e1- aminer had made his investigation he report ed the case to the coroner and as it was & clear case of suicide no inquest will be held
