We have had the pleasure of listening to this very able Metln odist divine, upon the 6ame subject onoo before and said of his sermon then what we oan repeat now, that for logical sequence his argument upon infant baptism was without doubt om of the ablest we have ever heard. Tha great lesson of training and governing children, whioh he inoidentally threw in, wras very illustrative and forcible. At night his disoourse was on the mode of baptism.

Upon this subject his remarks were unusually forcible. He reviewed the arguments in favor of immersion and met the objections urged by those in favor of the method and mode immersion on every conceivable point, and maintained with wonderful effect, that the manner of baptism did not consist in dipping or ducking any more than in sprinkling or pouring. substantiated his points from tliQ entiro history of the church, including the works of both Baptists and other religious organisations and then took up the use of the words from which it is claimed immersion is warranted and commanded, and showed that among profane writers, poets and the. olassics, that the version of King James' Biblo is more favorable to tho doctrine of immersion than the translation by tho Baptists Bible society, And then showed that all the examples to which those who favor immersion refer, aro not as clear as might be expected. He left us under the impression, conceding that there wasouly one side to the question and that was his side, that a man or woman could be saved as.

Fox went to Prender for the papers and evidence of these immense frauds, and Prender refused to give them up without an order from Boutwell. The detective got the order and the papers, then he went to Richardson, who had retired and was in New York, and instead of disclosing the fraud, Richardson was appointed assistant post master at Albany, and that ended the investigation.
