Twenty-three years ago Holmes left the lady in the place mentioned to make his fortune in California, the two being at the time engaged. The 1 usual with most of the forty-miners was his, and atter long and unsuccessful labor he settled down to _legitimat business, in which he managed to slowly accumulate property. After a time he returned to Jowa for his bride. but her brother was aftiicted with along and tedious illness, @#hd the faithful sister would not leave him. The illness terminated in death 4 few months since, and then the lady wrote her betrothed— the two ge | corresponded regu- larly all this time—that she was free, and he might come again. Holmes was now possessed of & comtortable competence, and he was mptly responded to the sum- mons, married the lady, and is now settled in the enjoyment of domestic happiness, They are a practical couple, and probably feel no older now than they did twenty-three years ago.—San Francisco Bulletin, Aug. 24. Tae Lovisvitre RICAL SCANDAL —A telegram, dated Leuisvilie, September 3, s “The Louisville Presbytery met to-day to in vestigate matters in regard to unclerical con duct on the part of Rev. Gilbert H. Robertson D. D., pastor of Chesnut-street Presbyterian church. The committee appointed to investi- gate mace their report, discarding all which was not founded on the most indubitabie evi dence. They make against him three charges First, drunkenness, with specitications and wit nesses. Second, violations ot the seventh com- mandment, by being in @ bouse of ill-fame in Chicago in'1869; by occupying the same berth with a woman not his wile on the cars trom Chicago, and by taking ber to his home in the absence of nis tamily, and remaining there witb her the next da: 0 allot which there are witnesses. Third, by violation of the ninth commandment. The report was adopted, and Roberton cited io appear beforethe Presbytery in this city on the 17th inst.; or, if he preters, appear before the regular meeting at Penn Valley, on the 10th inst.

The counsel for the prisoner then signi- fied their willingness to at once submit the case to the jury, without the usual charge from the bench. After some explanatory statements by the counsel for the state, and replies by the opposing counsel, the chief judge made some brief remarks. He thousht it was God’s providence, which alone had saved the court and former jury from the commission o! & great wrong; he considered it strange tha; Miss Stinnecke’s relatives, who were at her death bed, had never expressed a suspicion of foul play until after the Prisoner had produced the will, but he believed it bis duty to deliver a gga charge,which would be ready this morn- ing. ELxction Bers.—We were authorized to announce a week ago that a responsible mer- chant of this city would bet $1,000 on every state in the Union on Grant and Wilson, not leas than $10,000 to be deposited in an approved trust com. pany to abide the result. no takers hi presented themselves, the C= making this proposition instructs us offer $500 to any party who will bring him a customer. While thus re End to election bets, be mentioned that nh Morrissey made a judicious “hedge his bets against Gen Grant. Thy 10,000 bet offered in the mame of ainst Gen.
