THE CASE OF Mrs. SPECHT-The
alleged lunacy case of Mrs. Emma
llelina iIor,ense Specht was called UP
Yesterday morning in the Equity Court
before Judge Cox, in Washington. Mrs.
S2rcht ; husband, Joseph Sprcht, had
sGcd ont q process in l0nancy, alleging
that being of unsound mind his wife
had left her home in Gunston, Fairfax
county, and gone TO Washington, aud
that her going WAS without his coasent.
Mr.. Calicron Carlisle appeared for MIR.
Specht and eX-Judgc Jrre Wilson for
Mrs. Specht. After a hearing Judge
Cox said that as Mrs Spccht's home
was not in the District he had no .juris-
diction in the case unless she was vio-
lent and needed immediate restraint.
He might acquire jurisdiction il she re-
NAMED there, but if she was willing TO
return to her home in Virginia he could
have no authority over her. The case
was held under advisement, with the
understanding that Mrs. Specht would
return to her home. Mrs. Specht, it
will he remembered, recently secured
5000 of her husbands money and it is
said turned il over to DR.. Howard,
aneghbor, who, it appears, possessed
wonderful Influence over her, an &C
count Of which affair was published in
last Mondays GAZETTE. Mr.. Specht
was in the city this morning on his way
bach, 10 his home. He says that his
wife has been convinced that Howard
is an adyeD,urerand had determined to
haze nothing more to do with him.
Howard mas not YET returned TO his
home ~ Fairfax, but it is said that his
Whergaboats are knoWnto some people.
Hi, wife was in Washington yesterday,
but returned to her home to day. IL
is sud taa; howard has secured large
sums Of money from GIrs. Spccht TO
build church for his disciples.

At the Church of the Messiah.

 Rev. L. fl. squifes occupied the pulpit of the Church ofIthe Messiah yesterday morning and preached an eloquent and edifying sermon before an appreoiative audience which sbad assembled at the church to greet their former pastor. MT. Squires based his sermon on the words found in the fifth chapter and tenth verse of First Peter: But the God of all grace, after that ye have suffered awhile make you perfect and establish and strengthen you" The lesson of the discourse was that through pain and suffering Gods children are made better, and although affiictions are grievous, yet they work out for us "a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory" The sermon through out was very interesting one and was listened to with deep attention. Rev. MT. squires and Mrs. squires and daughter, Miss Fannie Squires, are visit ing friends in this city and their many friends here are delighted to greet them and talk over the pleasant times passed in their society when they re. sided here. Rev. MT. Squires reports bis church as being in fourishing con- dition with large and increasing mem. bership.
