Five years ago she had bequeathed her head to a medi- cal friend for scientific purposes, but a year later she recalled the bequest, not because her opinion as to the importance of scientific observation on such subjects had changed, but merely because of a change of cir- cumstances in her individual caso. ‘There are several distinct kinds of Second Adventists tn the United States.

MIXED MARRIAGES, UNSETTLED HOMES AND UNPAITHPUL AND DISOBEDIENT CHILDREN— SERMON BY REV. H, # JACOBS. There i# no fooling, said Mr. Jacobs, yesterday, to the large congregation gathered in the Thirty-fourth | street synagogue, that is more pressing or that appeals | more tenderly to the human heart thau that of parental t aifection, And yet it will only be regarded as the basis ud brick, and | where | history of humanity and take in all the circumstances by which we are surrounded, however we may regard those parental obligations which are generally mis- understood, we sbould more readily perceive how interwoven they are into the history of our nation. But it is not confined to one nation or one country, And if we will inquire into it we shall ind that duties which are due by parents to children and by children to parents aro sadly neglected. Now and again you will see the abandonment of principle alto~ gether by both, If you will consider the agencies that produce those results you will find that too often parental responsibility has been forgotten and the pernicious example of those older in crime bas fuil sway over the minds of the children. Now, while it is true that virtue charms, it 18 also true does the same, and the iatter seeins to bave u from the path bbis understood this when they declared that iniquity produces iniquity and of pep produces the performance of another, And 40 also ONE TRANSGRESSION BRINGS FORTH ANOTHER, ‘This is not merely the statement o/ learned men, but is also contained in the written Word of God. And it is not confined to one single pago but is spread through ital, And without going further (ham the lesson read to-day (Deut. xxi., 15) we may see the same thing. Parental responsibility is something that cannot be dele- gated by parents to others, but must be secepted and realized by every parent in (he community. Iti a God-given responsibility. Now I am certain, said Mr. Jacobs, that what I say will be considered a well-worn platitude as well as a philosophical truism. Every mind th will reason and thivk jor itself will come to the conclusion that nothing in this world is = sell-existing = or _self- creating. And when we see evil in children we natur- ally ask, How did it come to them? Now, we do not believe as otber sects do in original sin, but we do believe that one transgression begets anothor, And, 10 Mr. Jacob's opinion, many, if not all, the transgres- sions of youth spring from ‘marriages which are the re- st nd which are injurious to Ju- daism. Wranglings and quarrellings abide in the home q of such unions, and the child that ts the offspring of such a marriage will be of that character described in the text, that will not hbearken to tho voice of futher or mother—t iid that will find any other place more attractive than home, It parents quarrel is it any wonder that their children despise the instruction of either father or mother and follow on in sin und end io disgrace? But sometimes the best homes will produce the worst children, Well, there is nothing in that to militate against good homes. What if the best medicive does sometinies produeo bad resulis? Must we, theretore, discard medicine altogether’ There is nothing in this argument so often made by the enemies of religion. lodeed, there are vo fe" ch cases that they necessa- rily become conspicuous by their paucity. And we cannot tell how many of those cases are the product of faulty or neglected education. Mr. Jacobs gave his congregation some EXCKLLENT ADVICK ABOUT HOME LIFE and example betore their children, Parents should be the same at home as they ure in church and before the community. You can deceive the people, said the rabbi, but you cannot deceive your children, When they see you put on a pious garb ior the world to look tand manifest a very different spirit at home they will very soon get your measure and learn after a while to despise a hypocrite, even in the relation of father or mother. Mr. Jacobs considered the classes and kind of excuses that are given for parental neglect of children—press of business outside for {athers and of domestic duties for mothers, &o He thanked God tor the mothers of Israel, who accept the responsibility and act the part of futher and mother to their children. They are to-day the boast aud pride of the Jewish race. It is due to the mothers in Israel to-day, and not to the men, that there 18 salva- tion at all for the young of the race.

A JEWISH CONVERT’S CANARD DE- NIED. - DRS, GOTTHEIL AND ADLER STILL STEADFAST IN THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM. Last winter the Rev. E. P. Hammond, the evangelist, held a series of revival scrvices in Washington, D, C., and over 2,000 converts were reported as the result, Among them was a Jewish doctor, Rossvalley, who, early in the spring, came on to this section. He took up a residence in Brooklyn and alter a while united with the Fleet street Methodist Episcopal church, whose pastor subsequently introduced him to the Methodist Preachers’ Association at one of their weekly meetings in this city. Dr. Rossvalley addressed that body, and, among other things said by him, mado the statement which in brief was published im last Sun- day’s Huracp regarding the belief of one of the rabbies of the Tomple in Fifth avenue in the Lord Jesus Christ ag the Messiah, but his fear to preach this faith, We have received from Dr. Gottheil (the rabbi referred to) the most emphatio denial of this statement that can be made. Dr. Gottheil is liberal enough to stand on any plattorm where good men, who velieve in one God the Father Almighty and who accept the Old Testament Scriptures as containing the revealed will of that God, can stand. But he is not ready to forswear the faith of his fathers to the extent indicated by Dr. Rossvaliey, As the Rev. Dr. Gottbicl says in his lette to those who koow him and Dr. Adler (the emerit rabbi ot the Temple), it is superfivous to sy that tl statements in the paragraph referring to either of thei “are a tissue of falsehoods, utter! Dr. Gottheil declares that he n valley and Alman, or either ofthem. Hence the reported religious discussion between them and the rabbies of the Temple never took place. It seemed a strange statement to make before a body of 100 or more minis- ters and was received by them as true. To persons who have spoken with Dr. Kossvalley during the week, he declared he never ordered the fact to bo published in the Hxratp, That was not ueces- sary. His statement was publicly mad dif true, supposed, was deemed an important item of re- ligious news, But © H. Rosenthal, who has in- terviewed Dr. Rossvalley, writes that that gentleman says he never spoke with Rabbies Adler and Gotthell in his life, so that his narration to the Preachers’ Meet- ing was, as he declares it to be, a mere tabricat:on. Converts ought tobe very careful in the statements they may make in the ardor of their new found faith touching their late co-religionists. The Hrkatp very gladly publishes this denial of the rabbies of the first and most important Jewrsh congregation in the United States, and disclaims any intention on its partto do them or any other clergyman an injury. TRINITY'S NEW CHAPEL. LAYING OP THE CORNER STONE OF ST. AUGUS- TINE’S MISSION HOUSE YESTERDAY—ADDRESS BY REV. DR. DIX. At four o’clock yesterday afternoon the corner stone of St Augustine’s Chapel and Mission House was laid by Rov. Dr Morgan Dix, rector of Trinity parish. The mission was opened in 1873 in the builaing No, 262 Bowery, with Rev. Arthur A. Kimber as Suporinten- dent, Tho work of that gentleman and his assistants had proved so encouraging that the vestry of Trinity church determined to build a permanent chapel. A site was selected on tho south side of East Houston street, about 100 feet west of Second avenue, on whgch spot the corner stone of the structure was laid yester- day. At half-past three o'clock a procession ®as formed at N. 2 Bowery, tho present chapel, and proceeded up the Bowery on the west side, across Houston street to the new chapol. e The sexton of St. Augustine's chapol, with the other sextons of the parish, bore the box to be deposited jn thecorner sion”. Behind them came the leading choirs of St, Augustine's, Trimity churcb, St, John's, St. Chrysostomn’s and Trinity ebapel choirs came the clergy outside of the parish, about twenty-four in number, in their vestments; the vestry of the parish, the assistant clergy of the parish, and, last, the rector, Rev. Dr. Dix. Among the clergymen in the procession were:—Rev. P.H. Brown, Rov Dra Twyny aud Weston, Itse. A. Cropsey and’ Rev, Mr. Olmstead, Ou arriving at the site the exercises were opened with the intonation of Psalm 122, ‘Zaelatus Suu,” in the singing of which nearly all present joined, including about 600 young | persons connected with’ the different parish Sunday schools When the preiace and collects had been read Rev, Dr. Dix proceeded to Iay the stone, saying, nthe name of the Father x the Holy Ghost. Amen. edifice tu be here erected by ame of Chapel and Mission House of Saint Augustine anu to be devoted to the service of Almighty Ged, agreeably to the prinei- ples of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, in its doctrines, ministry, liturgy, rites and usages other foundation can no man'jay than that which i jaid, even Jesus Chrat, who is God over all, blessed for evermore, and io whom we have re. demption through His blood even the forgiveness of wns Amen.” RRCOKDS IN THR STONE, 1 jas placed a Bibi Pr books for 13 A Dy livered vy the Rev.

After the singing of twohymus by the agrembied choirs Rov, Dr, Dix said:—'It is a novel sight, iny brethren, to see the foundation of a church laid in the lower part of the city, The present tendency ts alto- getber uptown.

In these days of “free and easy’ church member- ship, when numbers and not piety turn the scale, cases ot church discipline are comparatively rare, and slan- dor is one of the rarcst causes for its exercise. Two or threo cases ha’ en recorded in Plymouth church and one in the Tabernacle, Brooklyn; but the ciream- stances out of which they grew were pecullar in many of their aspects, But now we have a real case of disci- pline and excommunication in the Fort Greene Presby- terian church, Brooklyn, Rev. Adam McClelland, pas- tor, And itis the outgrowth of the chureh choir. Ib appears that about two years ago a young lady, who bas always borne au irreproachablo character and who ‘was at the time connected with the choir of the church, made the acquaintance of a young nan, who was also a member of the choir, and they began keeping com- pany. Alter some little timo it became generally known that they were engaged to be cuarried, and such was believed to bo the case until a few months ago, when it was noticed that they did not seek one an- other's wociety as formerly, Questioned concerning the matier, the young tun gave ominous shakes of the head, and declared that ho was not the man to give auy young lady a vad name. His mother, however, Mra iza Hobby, it was alleged, stated freely that her son had found that the young lady was unebaste. The matter was somewhat extensively ed of, and was finally brought to the not of the young iady’s mother, who at once preferred charges of siundor be- fore the session of the church against Mrs Hobby. An exhaustive inquiry was instituted by the church authorities, and, after ten caretul sitings, acd the re- ception of a large mass of testimony pro and con, the most damaging against the character of the young lady having been given by Mra Hobby and ber son, tho vordiet Was unamimously in favor of the young woman. After asxermon on the general principles involved in lander Dr. McClelland last Sunday morning announced the verdict ef the church court, which was that Mrs. Hobby, a memaber of the church and an efficient Sunday school teucher, having been convicted of the sin of slander, and efforts to bring her to repentance baying fanied, 8! ibe excluded from the chureh and all its privileges until she returns trom the error of her ways and gives solid evidence of repentance. Her son, not being a church member, could not be proceeded against, The Avangelést, commenting on the case, re- marks that the community, with tow exceptions, feel that the right has triamphed, and that speedily. Tne mple is healthful and bracing, and the process cording to the book.’’ “THE CHURCH MILITANT” To tux Epitor or tux Hzxatp:— In your issue of the 27th ult. a correspondent has given an account of the assault upon Rev. Mr. Page on Saturday afternoon, 19th ult., by astranger. While statipg a general truth he has made sume mistakes in particulars. Mr. Page did not strike this man and never used his fist upon auy one. No blood was drawn, Atter thig man bad made am assault and al- tempted to draw a pistol Mr. Page addressed himself to the business of preventing the uso of the pistol and succeeded in such endeavor. It flashed through the mind how # worthy aud inoffensive neighbor, Mr. Beatty, bad been shot in cold blood recently by “Crow Murray,”’ and wuuld have been kilied but for the shield of his office, trom which the bail glanced into hisarm. To Mr. Page there seemed no other way of escape but by preventing tho uso of the pistol, Now, the ussailant Was a stranger. He probabiy never saw Mr. Page betore the occasion in question, and could have no ill-will toward him personally, and would do a kindness to him if he had opportunity. But there ts no mistaking the demon by which this assailant wa upied.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT DECISIONS. Wasuinatox, Sept. 2, 1876. BANKRUPTOY—VENDOR’S LIEN ON PROPERTY FRAUDO + LENTLY OBTAINED BY ONE OF THE BANKRUPTS. No. 184 Jonna Montgomery, Jr., assignee of Stewart, Porter & Ce, plaintiffin error, vs. The Bucyrus Ma chine Works, in error to the Cireait Court for the Western vistrict of Missourl.—There can be no ques- tion, on the conceded facts of the case, that Stewart, Porter and Wallace were co-partuers under the firm pame of Stewart, Porter & Co., 80 far us the transac tion and cuntract with the defendant are concerned, and-that they are bound to it by the duiies and obliga. tions arising out of that relation. The firm of Stewart, Porter & was formed at Sedaila, Mo,, in Jani 1870, by Stewart and Porter, to dealin agricaltural im- plements, witha view to add Wallace, if he chose to join it, and the name of the partuership was taken for this purpose. Wallace was sont by Stewart and Porter soon alter this to Ohio, where the works of the defendant, a manufacturing corporation, were situate to make contracts with it as their partner 1 he electod to becoine such, This viection was all that was required to render him amember ofthe firm. There was no necessity that he should sign any articles of copartnership. Wallace, when he reached Oho, elected to join the firm. Pur- e Orin, consisting of Stewart, Porter and himself, was solvent and doing a good business, and that Portes was wealthy. Previous to this the deiendant k: nothing of the firm; but, relying on the truth of his statements, parted with its property to a firm com of Stewart, Porter and Wallace; nor did it learn tout Wallace had retired from the firm untii after proceed- ings in bankruptcy were commenced against Stewart and Porter, Jt dealt throughout, us it had commenced, with a firm composed of the three versons, and, sé far as it is concerned, the firm was nut changed, It is true before it closed its dealings i acted under the belief tbat this firm was insolvent, but this was a mistaken belici, as the firm owed no one else, and the firm composed of Stewart and Porter, which was insolvent, was not indebted the defend- ant. By the terms of the contract made by Wallace on behalf of the firm with the corporation, ono car joad of machines was soid and delivered at the time, and there was a further agreement to fill all orders ag 8000 ag practicable. From time to time orders were made and machines forwarded. They were generally sbipped direct to tho different persons who had en- gaged to sell them ior Stewart, Porter & Co., and the proceeds of those machines, whea sold. were devoted, with the consent of all parties, to discharge the devt due the corporation, and tne unsold machines were returned to it It had the right to rescind the contract on the ground of fraud and follow the property or its proceeds wher- ever they could be found. This it did not do, because its agents and officers had no reason to believe that Wallace bad actually misled them to its injury until after the machines were ali sent forward. But equity and good conscience required that the proceeds of property obtained from it by fraud should be paid to it, or that the property itself, if unsold, be returned, This was recognized by Stewart, Porter & Wallace, and the arrangemeut oy which this was done is binding on them and the corporation, The machines did not lose their identity, nor can it be said that they formed a part of the permanent stock of goods of the bankrupts, Stewart & Porter; 60 that they can be considered as having thereby ob- tained credit. Their creditors, thereto have ne Tight to complain, as tho settlement was made in the absence of actual fraud. And the mere fact that whet it was mado the corporation knew that Porter & Stewart wero insolvent does not render it fraudulent under the Bankrupt law. The transaction by which part of the machines were got back is held to equitable, and it is said that it cannot be defeated by the conside: that Wallace, alter hahad made the contract, was allowed to retire from the firm. The corporation having always dwels with the firm of Stewart, Porter & Wallace, and baving no information that 1¢ was not so composed, unt!! after the bankruptey of Stewart & Porter, and the receipt of the proceeds of its own property fraudulently {option trom it, the corporation 16 held not habie to the assignee of Stewart & Porter fo ch proceeds, Affirmed. Mr. Justice Davis delivered the opinion. REAL ESTATE, ‘At the Exchango Salesroom yesterday M. A. J Lynch & Son svld, by order of the Suprome Court, in foreclosure, F. W.
