puts the leaders In opposition to the people and 10

OF stagnaton, disease and death. Another difficulty
Is misapprehension OF the doctrine OF the nallibll

preJudlces, and he also pald glowing euogy on the
character OF the American people for having adopted
short, sharp and decisive policy in this respect,

large numbers of persons standing in the asles and
the lobDies, and even upon the steps leading up to
the sacred edldce. About two O'Clock the funeral
cortege arrived at the church, and the solemn pro-
cession, headed by the remains Of the deceased,

The services opened with prayer and reading or
the Scriptures. Rev. J. r; sawyer presiding A
hymn was then sung, which had been printei and
circulated throughout the church. This hymn was
the last production OF the late Dr. d. X. Zee, and
was written by HIM for the UniveTsast festival held
in Boston i'll May 1869, and was never again sung
till yesterday, at the funeral services OF the amened
discourse which, though somewhat long was
listened TO throughout with the most breathless
attention. The reverend gentleman more than once
during the delivery was overcome by his feelings,
and the congregation were frequently touched 10y

by the death OF Mr.. Lee, and the loss thereby
sustained by his own church and the church

comfort which could be drawn from true religion
and the blessed gospel OF Jesus Christ. He referred
TO the suddenness OF the death and to the fact that
the deceased cut down in the very midst OF his
usefulness and with his harness The speaker
also gave q slight sketch OF the late Mr. Lees lhe
from the time that he entered the ministry, at the
OF twentyone until the day of his death at the
age OF ifty-two and concluded with an ANALYSIS of
his personal character At the close of the address

member OF the choir, and after prayer the congr ga
lion were invited 10 take last at the features
of their deceased friend and pastor. The immense
gathering, almost without the exception OF an indi-
vidual, nled past the coffin, and, amid universal
weeping, gazed for the last time upon the familiar
form OF their much-lOved teacher. The remains
were then placed in the hearse and the mournful
procession started for Greenwood where the body
was inferred in vault belonging TO friend OF the
family.

With all their large professions of religion and
rrd observance of the sabbath it requires Just such
beautiful weather as that OF yesterday TO induce
large congregations to attend divine worship at the
various temples OF the Lord In this city, unless some
thing special Is announced. Yesterday being one
of the most sereney delightful Of days few n any of
the churches were sparsely attended At the south
Baptist churcn, In Kinney street, In the forenoon,
q large and very fashionable congregation greeted
occasion OF his entrance upon the pastoral duties
OF the church. DR.. bowling was pastor for twenty
five years OF the Berean Baptist church, corner OF
Bedford and Downing streets, New York and preach
ed ms farewell sermon there last sunday evening.
After the singing OF several appropriate hy mns and
the reading OF passage In scripture, Dr. DO wing
opened his pastoral address, taking as starting
point the words Of Acts x, 20 and So
therefore came unto you without gainsayng, as
soon as was sent for; ask, therefore, for what IN
tent ye have sent for men He SAID that IL was not
without feelings OF deep emotions tnat he greeted
the congregation for the first time. The first ap-
pearance OF pastor was always an occasion OF a |
thrllngy emotional character alike TO the pastor and
his flock especially when the pastor had long
service IN the work OF Christ. In explaining the |
reason OF his change from the Berean church he |
took occasion 10 state that the newspapers had |
given erroneous statements regarding the same. |
The real cause was that, having witnessed want OF
among the congregation on the election |
OF trustees year or so ago. he deemed II best to |
change the scene OF his ministerial labors lie then
went on To define the relations OF pastor and people, |
and wound up with what he himself termed his |
''pain talk" such as the occasion required with |
the benedIcon. The congregation were very favor |
ably impressed with their new pastor.

In the village of Little Falls, in the
State of New York, there lived for ssv-
ersl years Mr.. and Mrs. S. N. Hildreth'
For aught that the world knew, they
were a happy couple, nothing to the
contrary having ever been rumoTed IN
that quiet neighborhOOd. ln proper
course of time, Mrs. Hildreth added a
fresh claim to her husbands affections,
in presenting him with daughter as 2
pledge of her love. 1t Is to be presumed
! that Mr.. and Mrs. HIldTeth lived as hap
pilv and harmoniously as tie m9Jorlty
of married people. Her husband nad
icbarge of a cheese factory IN the
little village of Mannheim, a short
distance from Little Falls. 1t was here
| that he became acquainted with
young girl named Halpin, of rather pre-
possessing personal appearance, out
whose moral education seemed, from
after events, to have been sadly neg
lected. Notwithstanding that Hildreth
had wife of his own, handsome enough
to satisfy any reasonable man, and a
Responsibility" of tender years, he
formed an improper attachment for MisS
Halpin, and that young girl was wicked
enough to encourage and reciprOcate
the tender feeling of the man who was
old enough to be her father, and who
was also the husband of another wO-
man. Finding it inconvenient to carry
out his unlawful love making scheme in
the vicinity where be was well known,
Hildreth and the girl made up their
minds to elope, and seek domestic
comfort and fortune in the west
ern country. In pursuance of this res
olution, the quiet neighborhood in
which they had resided was, one morn
ing, few weeks ago, electrified by the
rumOr that Hildreth and the fair young
girl had sbsconded The pious people
of that section of country were terribly
shocked at the exhibition of depravity
which had been afforded them, aud the
forlorn female who had been deserted
was the recipient of any amount OF
sympathy on the part of those with
whom she was acquainted. But the wife
did not propose TO submit uncomplain-
ingly to the outrageous conduct of her
husband. With the assistance offriends
she prepared for a western journey, and
arrived in this city on Saturday last.
Upon inquiry, she found that her hus-
band and the Halpin girl were stopping
at the Montgomery House, as man
and wife. By the advice of an attorney,
aud accompanied by him, she proceeded
to the hotel mentioned, and confronted
the guilty pair. There was no exciting
"scene" at the meeting. Mr.. Hildreth
invited his wife to enter private room,
where q consultation took place be-
tween the three. The nature of the
conversation has not transpired, but
that which followed clearly demon
sUrates that there must have been some
sort of reconciliation, but upon what
basis it is hard to conjecture. At the
termination of the interview the legal
gentleman was informed that his ser
vices would be no longer needed, and
husband, wife and mistress seemed to
be entirely reconciled to each other.
In the evening they took an eastern
bound train, aud are now on their way
back to their deserted home.
