Church Discipline Maintained.-lt is the prevailing opinión among different denominationsof Christians,thaï the mamtainance of discipline by the church isessential to the spiritual prosperity of the church, if not to its prolonged existenco. One would think, from a statement in the Bangor Gazette, that the M. E. Church al Ilamden, must bo destined to a long Rnd prosperous existence. A Mr. W. F. M. Reed has been excommunicated, the principal charges being contemptuous criticïsms of ministers," and "talking abolition on the Sabbath." On the first, there was ho evidence to support it. The then asked if any ofte had heard Mr. Reed speak contemptuously of bis fast-day sermón!! tcI will áíisweríhat question,'said Mr. Reed, myselfj'M saidof thaf serniorr. that it was milk-and-water!" The charge, vo' ihink, was declared sustainèdfIn regard to talking abolitionisriï on Sunday, Mr. Reed, admitted that he liad freqiienty rertfaiWifr the meeting-house during the and, vhen convenieni, had urged the claims of the slave upon the sympathiés a'ntf êSe'rtions of such as were disposed to Hsten to him. One "brother" said that Mr. Reed had offered him an abolilion fract upon the Sabbatli. "And you refuscd it?" said Mr. Reed. "Ycs." "Why?" "Bccause I didn't want politica! tracts put mto my hands on Sunda'y." 'But did I offer you thistract until aftcr Í saw you put a 'democratie lag' in your pocket? And did I not urge you to take my tract tlrat yoïi might have the antidote with thebane?' cWcll, I believQ itwas so.' [ A IHgftieovs Verdict.- Wc lrárn froni Uie Natchitoches Ciironicle that a very importa nt cnec was recently tried in iJio Circuit Court of thnt parish, in which a most rightcous verdict was rendercd. A man nawcd Annon was overseer for a planter narned Grosvenor,snd the formcr ened the latter fór $00, a balance due for services. Annon vvqb employed by Grosvenor'e ngent, dnring the Jatters absence, and when he returned, he ascertained that bis slavcs had been cruelly maltreatcd by the over secr. Whcn the latter sued Grosvcnor for wojfes due,G. "set up a reconrentional demnnd in defence, claimingf damages for the injury inflictcd on his property. The facts were clear'y and satisfactorily provod, and the jury re. inrned a verëiet of moie than -i00 in favor ol' defendant." We commend this case to the abolitionisls; it is a fijje nut for them to crack. JV. O. Tropic. And thns we crack it. Who were damagrd? The slavcs! Who yot damages? Tlie nutster! Who were mallrcaled?
