After our telegrapiiic report of the Tilton- Beecher trial closed yestentay Rev. Henry Ward Beecher continued his testimony as follows: Mrs. Tilton consulted me with re- gard to her duty to her husband and children, and she asked for my advice and counsel oa this matter. She asked me if it was right to bring up her children under « parent who seemed to have a doubt of the truth of the Bible and disbelieved in the divinity of Christ. I think this was not far from the year 18e7. When I first became acquainted With her I was chiefly struck by her simplic- ity of manner, and” during her domestic trials I was impressed her religious na- ture. She was actively enzaged in benevo- lent work. She was aiways talking of her husband, and appeared devoted to him. Her feelings towards me were as her pastor and friend. I never thought she displayed ANY SYMPTOMS OF CLOSE AFFECTION. Thad a life-long affection of respect and ¢ teem for he: had the utmost affection for her as a Christian woman and wife and mother, but no affection in any other conne ion: the Wthof October, 16s, (1 remember by the oth, es it was prayer-ineeting night.) and after it] went to the amiemy of Mu Taw Mrs. Tilton ting, and ha conversation with ber about bein Bt a dinner t ‘as about my being present on that océas! ve no recollection of being in towa on the Vth of October, but I may agreat portion of my tm both the loth and been present in visit my grec ly makeit a ‘ay of Vacation, and visit the park and book stores and walk up and down the strects; I did not usually visit my friends on that da othing occurred on cliher the 10th or between Mrs. Tilton and me that has ve been; spent in Peekskill . ober I may have Saturdays I th pressed itself ou my mind; ap to De 1870, there had never been any undue famili- rity between us. 1 never, directly or in reetly, solicited improp fr proposals from her.

He t he hid reduesd T from the editorship of that of a contributor on reasons, as Mr. Tilton’s y did not with those of the paper; that when he hw! dis sed him stories were told to ni , about Mr. Tilton. One was i at W » and northwest; one was a woman whom be had MADE IMPROPER ADVANCES. I toldhim I was not suprived, and told him vyhat Bessie Turner toid me, and also said ere Was another woman with whom rumor mnecied him. I asked him to see my wife and talk with her about tt. He expressed some repugnance at first, but afverward4 went into the parlor and spoke to her. Mr. Bowen said he had doubts as to whether he could retain him on the Brooklyn jon, and that he could not retain him in any posi- lion on the Independent. Mr. Bowen grew more and more friend! and on account of this atatek he said I ough! to get ought of town and he would stand by me as a friend. This was near five in the afternoon of 1) cember 26.
