Orthodoxy and Heresy,

The Princeton Theological Seminary has
opened its new term with tho largest num-
Der OF students in the whole seventy. nine
years Of its history. The regular and pt st.
graduate students are likely to be two hull
dred before tho school yea hos much ad-
vauced.
This Is q great number OF candidates for the
Presbyterian ministry, and 1t Is very Sig
niacant that they should crowd into the
Princeton Seminary at this par ocular time.
Princeton led In tho attack on Prof. BR1ads
and the Union Theological Seminary OF this
city. The President OF Princeton was the
Chairman OF tho committee OF tho last Gen
eral Assembly whloh reported against the
confirmation his appointment as Professor
OF Biblical Theology IN tho New York inst-
tuition and from Princeton came the Moder-
ator OF tho General Assembly itself. The Now
Jersey school stood out us the champion Of
strict Cllvinism and as the enemy OF tho
new Biblical criticism. Itput itself forward
as tho representative OF conservative Pres
byterlanism arrayod against the liberal
movement led by Dr.. BRIGGS. II it did not

the trustees, the faculty, and the great ma
jority OF the alumni OF the New York school

great profit OF Princeton. Students have

ARRAY one OF tho Whites men was killed.
During ono season schooners were killing

tho Rush was protecting St. George Island
and It was reported that great numbers OF
skins were taken by marauders after the
departure OF the cutter from the Islands. The
boats OF one vessel were fired upon and two
men wounded. In another case. a vessel
was known to have killed seals on Otter
Island.
Tho indignation INDUCED In by the Lon
don Times over the supposed i'll treatment
Of tho scaling schooners by our Government
Is misplaced. It Is hardly worth while to
plead that an inch should be given to those
that already take the unlawful ell Tho re-
port Of the American Commissioners, which
has just been handed In, urges tho sup
preston OF all open sea sealing during a
number OF years. In order to preserve the
animals from determination. The same
conclusion had been reached by other OK
perts, and forms tho basis Of the
present modus uirendi. Tho slaughter

ination OF ags or Sex, and when
90 many sink and aro lost, Is most
wasteiul and ruinous. Now we have to deal

those shores, shooting at the troops guard

for their punishment. Yet this Is what has
been going on at tho Copper Islands on a
large scale during tho past summer, and on
smaller scale at the Prbylov Islands IN
preceding seasons Tho San Diego brought
back to Victoria hundreds OF skins. and she
was only one Of nine vessels that plundered
the Russian islands.
The pitch and audacity at which these
poAchers havo arrived has no doubt benn
reached by gradual process. The seals
during the breeding season swim out long
distances from tho islands in search OF Iood
for their young. The scaling schooners
hover about the rookerles to attack the ami
mails. first breaking the law as 10 the marine
league and finally becoming embodencd to
land upon the shores. Tho habits OF tho
seals and the practices OF the sea!ers alike put
out Of the question the confinement of police

miles from Shore Even the London Times
now speaks OF making q closure limit OF
twenty miles In radius all around the Priby-
low Islands during tho breeding season. AS

A Notable Murder Case.

The second trial OF JOSEPH WooD for the
killing OF LEANDER PAsco near Stony Creek
In Warren county In this State OH May 10,
1880. has just terminated, as the first trial
did. IN a verdict Of guilty OF murder in the
first degree. The casc is remarkable on ne
count of the circumstances 0 tho first trial
which led to reversal OF the orig nal jndg-
meht OF conviction by the Court Of Appeals.
Warren county Is III the Fourth Judicial
district, and the case wa. first triod in the
Court OF Oysr and Trrmincr Of that county
bsfore Judge FnOrHISaHAM FISH OF tho
Supreme Court. Both the defendant and tho
man whom lie killed were small farmers,
very uneducated. illlterate, and ignorant,

OF PAsCo. t'o DECEASED, some month, before
the killing and without the know!e lge Of

noyoi ut tho union. The homicide occurred
on rainy Afternoon at about half past
o'clock, in the neighborhood OF the village
and was committed with a shotgun, the d.
ceased being instantly killed by gunsro
wound In the back. No one saw the killing,
but tho clrcumstantal evidence which indi-
Gated that WooD was the slayer was vary
strong SO strong that when the case cam,
before the Court OF Appeals. judges PECK
HAM. who wrote the opinion Of that tribunal
said that on the whole 1t showed quite sat.
isfaclorily that the defendant had pcrpe-
tra'e the killing"
When indicted and brought to trial the ac-
cused nterposed not only the ordinary plea
VI not guilty. but the additional plea OF not
guilty on tho ground Of insanity; and it was
upon this defonce that his counsel chiefly
relied to acqult him. Among other things
he attempted t. show thlt certain state
mcnts had been made to WooD In regard to
the conduct Of his father.in-aw shortly be-
lore the homicide, which. IL believed, would
operate upon his mind In such way as to
render him !nsune Oh the day when the Of
fence was committed. These statements
wero made by the wife OF the prisoner who,
