THE HEIGHT OF THIS VOLCANO, aceording to the various observations which have been made, is about 18,000 feet above the level of the sea. From the valley of Puebia it appears a nearly complete cone, cleanly cut, rising out of the piain toa heignt of 10,000 feet; while on the wostern side great spurs and ranges of mountains group together to torm the base upon which the snow cone rests. It has been claimed that some of the soldiers of Cortes ascended the volcano in suiphar, but it is not by amy Means a settled fact that any of them ever gained the top; certainly they never descended into the crater, A w iteron Mext ays that one of these individ- uais reached no further than the suow line, but, re- turning, he was allowed to wear a badge with the search of volcano engraved, upon it as a mark of honor merited by his arduous undertas Baron.

METHODS OP EXTRACTING THE SULPOUR. | The oid system of securing the sulphur was @ | very crude one. The richer mixture of sulphur rock were gathered at tie bottom and re- moved vy the windlass to the edge of the crater | in bags. These were slid down to the snow line | over the snow, and carried to Tiamacas to ve re- | duced. This was * very expensive metiod, and yielded very little profit to the owners. The difi- culty of seouring laborers, the high wages d inanded and the small amount of work that aman | can periorm at this altitade dimimished greatly | the advantages of the business, There are now (wo bower methods of optaining the sulphur.

FCONOMIC IDEAS, General Sanchez Ochoa has for some time en- tertained the idea of condensing and utuising | this vapor. Having become the sole owner of the property by baying ont all other interests, he now proposes to put bis plan into operation. ‘This plan is the condensation of the vapor in & series of two or three chambers. The first cham- ber will be built about one of the vents, cold water and air will be driven into it by a steam engise, the first in a Spray to chill the vapor, and the second to produce a current into and through the other chambers, In these cham- bers it is expected all the sulphur will be precipitated or crystallized, The chambers are to be heavily built of stone ae the best and most convenient substance for revisting the eifects of the hot sulphur vapor, Genera: hoa estimates that a series tor each of the larger vents would yield over ten tons of sulphar daily, INDUSTRIAL PRODUCT. ‘The purest of the resuits is to be shipped to the United States aud Burope for sale, aud the re- mainder, including products of the first chamoer are to be removed to.

Coro, Venezuela, Oct, 28, 1874. The revolution so long expected against General Guzman Blanco has broken out. Already 3,000 men are up in arms in Coro, one of the principal cities of Venezuela and the capital of the State of Falcon, with General Colina at their het. On Sunday, the °4th, there was a grand procession and afterward several discourses were made by leading merchants of the place, in which the des- potic acts of Guzman Blanco were laid bare to the | public, and it was resolved and unanimously adopted by all that the city of Coro, caprtal of the State of Faicon, “do cease {from tiis moment to recognize General Guzman Blanco as President of Venezuela, and that the citizens of said State do resolve to fight, if ne~ cessary till death, to defend their rights and liper- ties against the despot who has for such a loug time ruthlessly trampled on all rights and liberties of the people, though he bimself pubiicly guaran- teed these rights more than once.” So far all is quiet, with the exception that all are preparing { for war.

EXISTING CAUSES, Some time ago General Blanco demanded the ratively insignificant — | corber of Broad and Wal streets. expulsion of Gene M. Luis M. Diaz, who las been here for the past twelve years as Director of | Colegio Vargus; and as this man has a great deal of influence botn here and in Venezuela, he can make Guzman Slanco suffer. The government ot Holland reiused the demand of President Blanco to expel Diaz from the isiand, and ever since he has triea to destroy all the trade o! the island with the main land. Then, agaio, there is the Catnolic party, who are by no means to be de- spised. From this you may gather that the posi- tion of Guzman Bianco is anything but secure, He, | however, will not tail to do all he can to stup the revolution.

WILD EXCITEMENT IN COURT. The Audience Cleared Out and the Doors Locked. Yesterday was in all respects the most remark- able day of the Glendenning investigation, It was & stormy day among the audience, a day of the severest trial for Glendenning, but a pleasant day, in one respect, tor tne Presbytery and members of the press, who were entertained th a most hospt- table and agreeable manner during recess by the kind Jadies of the church, Glendenning took the stand for cross-examina- tion, Dr. Imbrie opened the examination and was answered as follows:—I visited Miss Pomeroy once and twice a week, perhaps three or four times a week rarely; have not often stayed as late ag eleven o'clock; usually went after tea, but some- times went as late as nine o'clock; was usually alone with her; visited her more frequently than£ did any other young ladies; the only reason | had was on account o1 her pecutlar situation. Q. What was that peculiar situation? A, Well, as I stated before, that she had no CHRISTIAN SYMPATHY at home; used to read for her such works as Scott, Tennyson and Burns; was not in the habit of reading these works for other young 1adies; was notin the habit of reading my sermons to her; was installed pastor in the fall of 1871, and commenced visiting Miss Pomeroy in May, 1872; increased my visits because she seemed to desire my company; lier case was a special one; never | remember taking her to a concert, but took her home from one tn Jersey City; never went to any place by appointment with her; said to my mother and sister that other people were making them- Selves more busy than they ought to in regard to the relations between me and Miss Pomeroy; told them she MEANT NO HARM; weither Mr. Howell nor Mr. Dunn (the elder) warned me about it; my mother ana sister were iy feel | Glenaenning'’s voice was heard ringing out in not cognizant of all my attentions to her; was never engaged to be married to her nor was there ever any understanding to that effect. Q. AS you have stated that you visited her and read witi her oftener than you did with other young ladies, and made her presents when you did not make them to others, were not these grounds of suspicion that you were engaged to her? A. I did nothing which would give any ground for sus- picion that I was engaged to Miss Pomeroy; heard | from others that she was ENCOURAGING THE IDEA that we were engaged; spoke to her about it, but cannot say that I ineistea on her denying it; ad- dressed her as Miss Pomeroy, as Miss Mary and sometimes as Mary; she called me Mr. Gien- denning and sometimes “Glen ;” other ladies are not in the habit of calling me “Glen.” Q. Was Miss Pomeroy allowed to address you in more intimate terms than other youns ladies? A. I don’t know tiat I ought to answer that aneaniens wrote letter to Miss Pomeroy ; addressed ner as “DTAR MARY;"" | signed myself “Gien;” don’t remember signin myself ‘Yours, Gien;” sometimes signed my ful name; never called her my dear little wife; never arted with her by @ kiss, though I have ' kissed er, but did uci make it @ habit—(presents ex- hibited)—tnink that the locket and chain and sleeve buttons are those I gave her; can’t iden- tily the earrings and thimble nor the watch ana | chaiv; never received presents irom ladies in the congregation; Miss Pomeroy presented me with a shaving case made of paper; can’t descrive it, be- | cause Lam NOT GOOD AT DESCRIPTION 5 she gave other small presents; never haa any con. | te? A, Sne did, but I did not; I had nots eee can't explain what she meant by the words “tried again;” there are fe SRVEBAL WORDS LEVT ORFS lon’t know what she meant by that she had deceived the Millers in regard to I would like to have visited her between the of July and her Did bat by the advice of my counsel I remained away. m Q. Lid it never occur to you that'If you called herand showed her this note that tie mat might be sataictonily explained and your char- acter vindicated? A, It did not, because I though she was forced to the course she took by those around her, Q. How do you fix the various dates of your Whereabouts as you have given them in y mind? A. They were mostly public holidays; ti Memoranda I produced were made out 801 weeks ago; DON'T KERP A DIARY; Tonce kept one, but, having forgotten to enter, the transactions of two or three days, t cast aside—(laughter)—saw Miss Pomeroy at the orgam OD thé Sabbath of the 12th July; told her 1 did nog expect to see her here after what she had told me; after receiving the anonymous letters £ preached sermons directed to the case. Q. On what subject did you preach? A. & preached 4 SERMON ON SCANDAL once; Talso preached on “Fallen Women;" this, however, was given in @ leeturein the evening, and as it was addressed to the young it neces sarily came in— (laughter); 1 preached according to my idea of the wants of the community. (Ke- pewed laughter.) Q, Did Miss Pomeroy, after you became aware of her condition, manifost angry or resentful fe ings toward you? A. She did on the evening the 9th of Juiy, Q. Did she attempt to connect you in any way With her condition? A. She did not, Q. Why, then, was she angry toward you? A. Well, I suppose trom what I said to her; it was not very pleasant; she told me that @ young niam who livi in the neighborhood iour years oeiore had taken advantage of bis intimacy with her, and that other men who knew of this HELD IT OVER HER HEAD asa threat, and by this means they, too, succeeded in making her yield to their desires—(sensation)— my reply to her was that sve was lower than any prostitute that lay im the gutter, and I should have nothing more to do wita her— (sensation) —was sorry afterwards to have used that expression. shee Moderator and Mr. Dod protested againas eae REVOLTING DETAILS. No third party can be implicated by name, Dr. Eddy arose and said, with deteemination:— “Mr. Moderator, Ll say that these details are very important, Mr. Glendenning now stands under & weighty charge. If he can show us such facts as will remove the guilt from him and place it om other shoulders let him speak out, give us the name, and then let him face the consequences im this community.” (Loud applause.) Dr, Imbrie moved that the Presbytery adjourm until the room ve cleared and that hereafter nove but the Presbytery and the reporters be present ‘A SCENE OF WILD CONFUSION ensued, The motion was carried, and the room was cleared, not, however, without great dif. eulty aud loud protests, especiatly irom the ladies. Several voices rang out, “Name! name!” and reply, “Yes, L will”? At this point it scemed as it the dense crowd would sweep across the barrier placed against them. ANGRY TURRATS were utiered, and gestures of wild indignation were seen throughout the entire audience, Amid all the muttertngs, murmurs, creaking of benches and protests, Giendenniug Maintained a remarkable seli-possession. One old lady dressed in black, Standing only. a few feet in front of nim, cried out, “Why don’t he give us the names be- fore we leave ?? The crowd became more excited outside und lingered in a menacing attitude rap- ping at the doors and windows. Oue of the irate individuals must have been possessed of a dia- mond ring, With Whici he cut out nearly a whole pane in the stained ginss window, through which he con'd view the proceedings. No party of lynch- eis eould be more brimiul of excitement and ime dignation.

The prisoner also made the same adonssion at the station hyuse, and also again on the way to court. Further, he satd to tne offtcer he did’ not think the case would result so seri- ousiy. Two or three other witnesses were examined touching the assault, but their testimony was un- important,’ Dr. Marsh stated that deceased had recetved a compound iracture of the skuil, which caused death. ‘rhe jury, after deliberating some time, agreed upon two verdicts—three of them finding that de- ceased came to his death by violence at the bands oi John McCarty, and the other three jurors find- ing that the 1ojuries were inflicted by some one to them unknown.

He Miss Clinton asked me if [had been asleep tn the church parior | tola her Thad; I had been up late the bight before preparing my anniversary ser- mon; when Miss Pomeroy handed me tho note in church I was surprised; was not afraid of being implicated alter receiving such a strauve note. a.

Why did you not prodnce this note when she charged you on the might ol your arrest? A, Weil, this was A NEW RXPERIENCE tome and I did not BS it much thought; the charge, “Glen Ihave deceived you, it is yours,” Was a positive one against me.
