The verdict of ''Not guity' rendered by the Jury
yesterday in the trial OF Jacob Cert for the killing OF
William l.. Smith last May Is suggestive Of few
reflections. The man whom Cert SO suddenly de-
prved OF life was colored man OF good social
standing, church elder, and respected by his
friends and neighbors. He had been In the habit OF
buying his cigars at the saloon where Cert was en-

Sermon by Rev. Father COrrtgan.


At ST. Peters Catholic church yesterday high mass
was offered by the Rev. Father Graham After the
singing Of the first gospel the pastor, the Rev.
Father Corrigan, ascended the pulpit and preached
sermon Oh prayer. Numberless, indeed, were the
graces bestowed on man. but the most eilicaciOus
those obtained by prayer. The raising up OF our
hearts to God puts US in communication with the
Almighty and induces Him to lend propitous ear
10 our petitions. Hence in every age and in every
land men have not ceased to acknowledge
by prayer the providence OF their Creator
and His Willingness to relieve them In ne
cessity and comfort them in tribulati0n. the
God OF Mercies has given beautiful example Of the
manner and form or our suppltcati0ns His own
lips have uttered the greatest of all prayers-the
sour Father" Were men to recite the L0rd's
Prayer ferventy each day there would be less evll
in the world and more fraternal feeling would
dwell IN the hearts Of the people, Nor should we
pray to the Omnipotent Immediately only but medi-
lately alsO through His saints and angels They
too have care over the wants OF men, and, as Is
attested by the inspired writer OF the Apocalypse,
the Odors Of their prayers ascend forever before the
throne of the Lamb. The preacher continued to
dwell on the efficacy and necessity Of prayer as the
great means OF attaining eternal Ii re.

WASHINGTON, May Is, 1870.


AT the Church Of the Incarnation tEpscopalh Rev.
Mr. Lowric the regular pastor, being ILL., the services
were conducted by the assistant. The preacher took
as his text the first verse OF the fourteenth chapter
of st. John:-"Let not your heart be troubled. Ye
believe in God; believe also in me-" These words
were taken to illustrate the consolation that should
be experienced as the result of belief In
God. The preacher said there were many
disturbing influences at work to break IN upon the
mental peace OF the Christian Sometimes IL arose
from sense Of having left undOne things that
should nave been done and having done things tnat
should not have been done. Sometimes the same
disquietude was felt of piety feeling too
keenly the responsibility Of Christian life anu ind-
of n CHRISTIAN character. Belief in God, he said,
should not inspire any such feelings. or all lives
that OF believer in God should be the most serene
and happy We are all given 10 sin, and all that
can be asked Of any Christian TO live as closely as
possible to the doctrines OF religion. Beyond that it
would be impossible To go. Christian character IL
an approximation OF God, not his perfection.

Revelations Interpreted by the Only Anthor-

by Bishop Snow.


Some thirty persons met at three O'Clock p. NJ yes
terday In one of the lecture rooms Of the Law
University to listen to Revelations as expounded
by Bishop S. s. Snow. These persons were all OF
advanced age especially the ladies, and afforded a
strong contrast to the worshippers in costly attire
who throng the many fashionable churches. The
services were begun by


SINGING TWO HYMNS,


with organ accompaniment, after which the Bishop
read the first verse of an additional hymn, which
was in turn sung ny the congregation with con-
siderable spirit. s:The second woe Is past, be-

from Revelations and the remainder Of the reading
was from a sort OF historical and metaphysical

F0llacy Oh Human l(easOn heugiOn-sers


mon by Rev. MIR. De Zeng.


This church was at the morning service yesterday
well filed with the class Of our colored Episcopa-
llans best supplied with that dross which is the
ANONYMOUSLY dumb, though speaking guide and
master through life and presented quite contrast
Of fashionable attire and plain, though neat church
decorations


The pulpit was occupied by the Rev. Mr.. de Zeng,
whose sermon was an eloquent exposition OF the al-
lacy OF human reason In religion. his text being
taken from ST. Paurs Second Epistle TO the Corin-
thians. l., 13-"For write now other things unto
you than what ye read or acknow ledge and trust
ye shall acknowledge even to the end"


lie commenced with the remark that anything on
which any dependence Is to be placed should be
fact, and showed how the truth OF the remark might
be applied either to the practical affairs OF life or to
religious belief and Illustrated the case OF ST. Paul,
who had believed, previous to his conversion Chris
tianily to be grand imposition on human credi-
Dility-n fact, as grand fiction. But with all his
good reasons forsich conviction, based upon the


TRADITIONS AND FACTS OF AGES,


his convictions, through the interposItion OF a
miracle, were changed. No dlsbeiiever VINO can
credit the miracle Of the conversion OIL 81. Paul but
must lose his disbelief, for he must then believe IN
the divine cause Of the miracle. lie then said:'It
verify has come TO pass that men have so mixed up
the plain statement OF the Word OF God with their
individual iaeas of its meaning that they reject 1t,
being unable TO reconcile The two. Now in





what the meaning OF the Scripture may be. Ir he

Service was held in this edilce yesterday evening,
when sermon was preached by the Rev. W.
Wheeler, OF Meadvle, Pa who selected as hs,text
the words "For none OF us liveth to himself and
no man dicth to himself For whether we 1--we we
live unto the Lord; and whether we die we die
unto the Lord; whether we live, therefore, or die,
we are the Lords" (ROmans xiv, T. ST. He said
that every mans life should be q constant striving
10 do good In the world. Many men had been en-.
dOwed with many and peculiar gifts, which emil
nently fitted them to enter into one field OF enter

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-


In your valuable paper Of yesterday, October 2s,
It Is mentioned, In the able article under the heading

York s taxed this year for the support OF Its

condition by the voluntary contributions OF benevo-
lent persons especially by NUMBERS Of the trustees,

Finally, ought to mention that an appropriation
OF $4,000 for this institution passed last year both
branches OF the City Council; the order was ap-
proved OF by the Mayor, and the same entered into
the Tax Levy, but was lost at the last moment
through the evil influence OF some individual deter

much-needed charity. Its friends, however, came
nobly to the rescue, and hope for better success

TORNADO AT THE OCEAN HoUsE-A tre-
mend GUS tornado passed over the Ocean House
on Saturday afternoon, which was most fright
full to witness, as we learn from'a spectator.
About three o'clock black, angry looking
cloud was seen coming up from the northeast,
but Mr.. Chamberlain, the proprietor of the
hotel, said he thought it would pass over like
the other clouds and they should get no rain.
But in few moments the storm burst upon
them in all its fury, consisting of wind and
rain. A boat standing on the shore by the fish
house was taken up by the violence of the tenn
pest, carried some five rods and broken in two.
The fish house was split in two as if it had
been paper. the earth was torn up in places, a
chimney on the hotel was partially torn down,
as well as several chimneys belonging to resi-
dents in that vicinity, the house shook like
leaf and the rain was driven in around the
sashes of the windows so as to badly wet the
carpets. A great limb, as large round as
mans body, was twisted off the big tree in
front Of the house as if it had been a twig and
the salt water from the ocean was blown up
ON to the leaves Of the tree, long distance,
causing them to shrivel and wither. The rain
poured down in such torrents that, united with
the wind, you could only see few rods out of
the windows, and a stream of water flowed
down the hotel stairs wetting everything. The
storm lasted about half an hour, and passed
away as suddenly as it came. Mr.. Chamber
lain says it was equal to the great gale of last
September in violence. I

PORTLAND THEATRE.-People may be fond
OF theatricals, but TREY must have been mono
maniaes on that subject if they could have con-

the merits of the performance. Tonight, how
ever, Fernando" is TO be repeated by particu-
lar request, and we should advise all who de-
sire to witness bright, sparkling play, with
melo dramatic effect, to be sure and attend.
Our criticism of the performance of this same
play on Friday night was accidentally omitted
through misunderstanding, 50 that we will
say now what we intended to say then, that
Miss Reynolds conception and delineation of
the high born French woman who is neverthe-
less Pariah, in the various passions of love,
Jealousy, revenge and remorse is one of the
finest pieces of acting ever seen in Portland or
elsewhere, and alone entities her to the name
of artistic. We have criticised Miss Reignolds
frequently, very severely from a sense of duty,
because certain features, while they might
please others were not to our taste. Those
features have no prominence in this effort, only
what is most worthy of er reputation. If she
is as well supported tonight as she was on
Friday, we can promise dramatic treat.

STATE STREET CHURCH.-Last evening Rev.
James Cameron preached very able sermon
at this church on the subject of faith, illustrate
ing the subject by a sketch of the life of the
prophet Elijah. Mr.. Cameron's history is
quite romantic one. He is Scotchman by
birth. and an artist by profession. He came to
this country some thirty years ago and was in
the vicinity OF Lookout Mountain, Tennessee,
at the time of Hooker's great battle. He was
strong Union man and has a claim against
Government now for some $25O00 worth of
property destroyed at the South After the
war he was travelling in the Lake region of
this State and was inexpressibly charmed by
the scenery there. He also felt that there was
great need of a church there, and by his
efforts established one at Greenville, foot of
Moosehead Lake. A minister was supplied to
the church, ,sbut about three months ago Mr..
Cameron was ordained clergyman, hi, friends
telling him thai he was peculiarly fitted for the
profession, and when the people at Greenville
heard of the fact they said if he did not preach
to them they would havs no pastor. He is
therefore settled over them, and the parish is
composed of all denominations. A contribu-
ton was taken up last evening to furnish the
church with bell and $40 was contributed,
which added to a contribution of $25 from the
Sunday School makes total of $1O0.

EXAMINATION OF TEAcHERs.-It will be seen,

ones of the committee to "get in," but must
stand or fall upon their own merits. This is as
it should be, We presume to think. But we
have good authority for assuring would-be can
didates that the examinations intended will
not be at all frightlul the object Of the commit
tee being to discover, not the highest order of
mere scholarship but that reasonable familiar
ity with subjects to be taught and especially
that ready and available common sense,
without which all teaching is worse than inef-
fective. We are more than ever disposed to
think we'll of the intent and endeavor of our
School Board, and to believe that the import
