The Grand Rapids (Mich.) Inquirer contains a full report of the trial, conviction and expul- sion from the church of Deacon G. P. Stebbins, of the town of Alpine, in that county. He was the first deacon of the church to which he be- longed—the Freewill Baptists. It appears that soon after the last Presidential election, | elders addressed Deacon Stebbins a letter, in which he was infonned that he was charged with crime. and they admonished him that he must clear himself of the accusation. They say: * First Tt = ai — fact that there are ‘wo principles in active and open opposition— viz: ae and liberty ; aad is — that You, in opposition to your covenant obligations and professed love of liberty, have. fa far as action is concerned, supported the system, prin- ciples and | Ae of slavery. Second. It is an established fact that the office of deacon is second to but one in that kingdom that Christ set up in the world, and that gov- ernors of states, kings of nations, and presi- dents of the United States, and the offices they fill are of less note than the deacon in Christ's church and the office he fills. Soon after he was furnished with a list of the charges against him; and after a long and tedious investigation, the council reported as follows : Sparta, Feb. 4, 1857. The council appointed by the Grand Rapids | Q. M. Conference to meet with Alpine and Sparta church, having examined the testimony Breeented, relating to the case of Deacon G. P. tebbins, — the following decision : Charge i. Deception. That, in our opinion, is not sustained. 2. Unchristian conduct. Sustained, but removed by confession, except the last specification, viz., the accusation against the church at the public meeting; which de- mands a more full retraction and confession. 2d. Publicly declaring that he would support slavery Not sustained as far as his statement is con- cerned, but so far as his act in voting for Bu- chanan, he has thrown his influence in favor of slavery. E. G. Guiey, Chairman. N. ik. Evanrs, Clerk. The Freewill Baptist Church of Alpine and Sparta, after the Councils of Ministers from the uarterly mecting had examined the above Semi) games against Deacon G. P. Stel - bins, and exhonerated him from them all on his explanation and investi; tion, not satisfied, called Mr. Stebbins before a single church meeting, voted him clear on ail charges pre- ferred against him. save voting for Mr. Ba. chanan for President of the United States, ex- cluded him for that one act bya majority of one. The facts upon which the charges are founded are as follows In the fall of 1856, previous to the Presiden- tial election, divsatisfaction took place in the church about Stebbins voting; he bas for nine years been known as a demoerat in the town of Sparta, a man that decidedly supports the con- stitution of the United States. At this period, Elder Erastus W. Norton asked him if he voted the liberty ticket. He said he did. Simeon Rouse asked him if he was going to vote for the President. Stebbins did not immediately an- ewer. Rouse says, “You are not going to vote tor slavery, are you’”’ Stebbins replied “Nu,” and traveled on, as he hal met Rouse in the road. For these answers he was charged with deception Stebbins admitted that he had made the an- Swers, but defended himself as folloms : First. That the democratic ticket which ho did vote. supported the most liberty principles of any ticket now in vogue. That it gives to all new states, when annexation, tho liberty to frame their own con-titution as best suited to them. only it should be in keeping with the _. constitution of the United States—it might be » had abolished it under a democratic in favor of slavery or not. He believed it to ‘be tho duty of every American citizen to sup- the cunstitution of the United States. He lieved the democratic principles and influ- ence to be anti-slavery. Ty prove this. he say | that all the States that ever abolished slavery adminis- tration, which is undeniably so. He also main- tained that slavery now covered less territory in proportion to that embraced in the United States, than it did at the time the colunie< en- tered into a compact for the purpose of protee- tivn against foreign foes; that at the time there but one-fourteenth part free—Massachu- setts being the only free State at that time And now, out of thirty one. there are sixteen tree States. He was also charg that be would support slavery could not and did net prove. ” Eleet on, aml he. feeling it bis duty. vored Buchanan sequently.as by the chief priests and elders the Saviour was brought before Pilates ba » by the chief priests and Edwin, was he brought Leture the judgment seat of Sparta and Alpine Free Will Baptist Caurch He pleaded ty to voting for Mr. Buchanan, and upon that charge was expelled the church se Tvota Wassis —On this subject the Ameri- ean Agriculturalist gives the following chapter of history Several years since. while at work ut the chemical laboratory. a man brought us a little yial hoiding a half ounce. and bearing the fol- lowing or a similar label * Tooth Wash—warranted to remove all dark color. dc.. &c., from the teeth immediately, and give them a pearly whitene-s.

A single vial will last for years. Price only 29 cents.” We examined this valuable affair. and found it to consist only of water, with a little common muriatic acid. (hydro-chloric acid.) Its only action upon the teeth was to dissolve off a por- | tion of their surface, which of course removed the dark coating. The continued use of this wash would svou entirely eat away the teeth and destroy them. We estimated the cost ot a barrel full of this wash to be about 79 cents and that this would fill about 7,300 of the 25 cent vials, at a cost of about one cent for one bundred v full. The cost of the vials a ding the labels and filling, was about one and a quarter cents each. This tooth wash peddler ofered us a shining gold eagle to tell him how to make it. (which of course we declined do- ing,) * for,” said he,“ I pay $i5a hundred for these vials, and I sell thousands of them, and am now ging to the New York State Fair and cau sell them like hot cakes w the green country chaps.

We ake no more of him till a few days since we met him at one of our Southern State Fairs driving a brisk bu- siness. He had a boy on a stool before him, and was performing his dental operations, (anti- dental, rather) upon a dark culored set of teeth and showing te a wondering crowd “ this black tooth by the side of that white one. made go by this incomparable tooth wash.’? A dozen or wore of the ambitious crowd immediately walk- | ed up and paid their quarters and carried home | the prize We stepped up to the peddler and | reminded him of our former remonstrances ; but he replied, “it pays too well to give u business. I make $1,500 a year clear, pi oe $09 a year to the State for the privilege of scll- ing. A bundred others are selling it all over the country. I gotit for $10a hundred after telling the manufacturer bow cheaply you said it could be made.” . — ——— {5™ Over the drop curtain of the Lexington, Ky..

Its elevation above the Guif of Mexico is 2.400 feet, and it forms the bottum of a vast basin, surrounded by moun- tains 5,000 to 6.000 high. Part of the bank and bottein of the lake are composed of rocks and salt springs, aud the waters are entirely impregnated with a saline substance. go that evaporation sho arts in 100 of salt, while the water of the sea shows only 4 parts in 160 The waters of Salt Lake. therefore, are of an extraordinary density. No fish cau live there. and the borders of the lake are sterile. Hap- pily, in this accursed lake there is a passage to another lake, called Utah. (the name of an In- dian tribe.) the level of which is 100 feet above the surface of the first. The water in Utah Lake is drinkable, fresh and limpid. Therich- ness of the country in the neighborhood of these lakes caused Brigham Young to resolve upon settling the Mormons at this spot. He thouzht, with wisdom, that it was better for him to be- come exclusive master of this great basin, where the distance and nature offered animpregnable fortress, than to go to California and encounter the hostility of a crowd of gold seekers. The resemblance of Salt Lake to the Dead Scacould be presented ax a Providential design, and an indication of the place where the New Jerusa- lem should be founded.

Science has not satisfuetorily determingd either the origin or the modes of existence of those animals. In reply to inquiries by a correspondent of the Michigan Varmer, who found a hair snake ina pan of milk, Mr. Justus e, of that State, fur- nishes a very interestin count of his experi- ments and observations. He is satisfied of the fact that both the large and the small crickets deposit those snake in water during the month of August; but whether the crickets resorts to the water to rid itself of a parasite or to deposit a natural product of its body, he is unable to determine. Mr.G. that one morping after he had experimented’ in his room by throwing crickets inty water to vbtain snakes, and suc- ceeded in procuring two, of about four inches in length, he noticed a black cricket crawling up the side of his water-pail. ‘+ It jumped into the water, lay quiet fur a moment, produced a snake t nearly seven inches in length. and then nimbly made its escape over the edge of the pail He alsv founda live hair suake, nearly seven inches in length, coiled up in the abdomen of a dead cricket, that lay ou its back. under a flat stone The hair snake, be says, will live a long time in muist earth, where he haz found them of a greyish or white color, sometimes of great length, and much recembling the fibrous rvot of some vege- table.

A lady of our acquaintance found a hair snake ig her teakettle, oue morning, afew years since it had been standing where a cricket might have gotin by the spout; but she is hardly willing to give up the theory of her girlhood, that it wasa Vivified horse-hair.
