Sun, 254, Rev. URIEL Gkaves has resigned the pastor- ate or St. John’s English Evangelical Independ- ent Lutheran church, corner of Monument Street and Broadway, and he preached yester- day twice at Standard hall, Baltimore and Pred- erick streets. The hall was well filed. He had intended going to Washington to speak at a temperance meeting in the afternoon, but post- poned if when the audience at the hall in the morning expressed a wish for him to preach at night. Services were aiso held in the Broadway and Monument streets, by Rev A 8. Seltz.

Objection was made first by some of the members to thelr pastor's taking the part he dia in political and other questions, where- upon be resigned. He has been a very active temperance speaker, and has also advocated the greenback political views, making speeches at a bumber of meetings of that party. In his dis- courses yesterday he made no direct allusion to the differences which led to his resiguation, and Genourced nobody. He said, however, money Was king in Uns Country, and asked how pastors without great courage could preach the gospel and the whole truth when doing so might cost them their places and take the bread out of their children’s inouths? How could a minister Gepict the ills of whisky and beer when a rich brewerset just before him who contribated $500 a yeartothechurch?

A Brave Doctor's Wirk.—The killing of Bul Rodifer, a notorious burglar, after breaking 1nto the residence of Dr. L. C. Walker, at Indian- apoliy has been briefly related by telegraph, but so much bravery was displayed by the doc- tor’s wife that furtier particulars will prove in- teresting. The doctor was awakened by his Wife. who had become worried by the gaslight in the ball being very low. He got up and turned It up higher, but she was suspicious that fome one had turned tt down, and, woman like, she looked under the bed, detecting the feet of a wan protruding from beneath. She knew that if she told her husband there would be a deadly struggle, and she quietly got up and went out of the room. She roused her son, went down Stairs, got a pistol and placed It in’ his hands. She then woke the colored servant man, who also hada pistol. About this Ume the doctor, wondering at the movements of his wife, also discovered the Whereabouts of the burglar, im- mediately struck him in the face and grappled with him. ‘The burglar fired his pistol, the ball grazing the doctor's side, and, releasing him- self, Hed from the room, with tte pistol in one hand and a knife in the other. The son, posted in the entry, and suspecting that. the shot tired had killed or wounded his father, fired two shots at the retreating burglars. Though one of the balls pierced his heart, he continued to rub, only talling dead when he reached the porch. Rodifer commenced a career of erline when only seventeen, and he has made inpum- He bad served six of a ten years’ sentence, and making profes- sions of repentance, was released by Governor Wullamwns in Jul, New York fHicH MEN ON Hoxse Cans.— About four o'clock yesterday morning five thieves boarded one of the third avenue horse cars on the Bowery, near Spring street, New York, and first robbed the driver of $1.41.
