At a late mooting of the society tho progress of the Methodist denomination in this city came up for discussion. Rov. A. S. Hunt, pastor of the Hanson place M.

In its preparation he was aided greatly by the ministers of other denominations for it was only by compariBon with progreBB of other donom Inations that he could mark the progress of the Methodist, and therefore tholr assistance, which they cheor fuUy granted, was much needed.

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE. A Brooklyn Incidents On the 7th of October, 1870, a Spanish steamship, commanded by Captain Bernett, and about to sail for Barcelona, was lying at the dry dock in tho Erie basin, where ono of the Bailors by tho namo of Nicholas Scheperman waa put on shore and his luggage thrown after him, becauso he waB sick and useless, No one seemed to know hunor care for him though he came to this county in hor, but as ho was fragile, sick and friendless, he was not wanted there. Ho was put off as we have said, and ho laid on the dock for somo time unaided and in a dying condition. Strangely enough ho was discovered by Doctor George Cochran, tho Health Officer of this city, The Doctor questioned him, but could obtain little or no information, for the man was too far gono to give it; but he was 6ick and dyiug, aud that was sufficieut to commend any human being to tho Doctor's sympathy and good offices. Ho had tho man conveyed to the City Hospital, wlicro he received ovory attention, but HE DIED THE NEXT DAY.

In the meantime the Spanish steamer had sailed and thero was no possibility of learning anything concern ing the young sailor who had beon so cruelly deiierted. Amoug tho few effects that wore found belonging to him waB a paesport made out and signed by officials of the Italian Government. By this his namo and nativity woro learned, and Dr1. Cochran visited tho Italian Counsel in York, exhibited the papers and invited tho advice and co oporation of that dignity in tho burial of tho deceased. The official however, after taking tho name of the man and making a momoranda of the circumstances, refused to havo anything to do with tho matter, and treated the oillcor cavalierly and tho doctor rather dis courteously.

This seemed to end tho matter officially; the doctor need not do anything boyondj sending the remains to a burial in potter's field. in a plain pine coflln, without the rites of Christian burial. This bo would not do. Ho boliovod tho remains of tho stranger, though in a foreign land, de served better trcatmont. With his own monoy he brought a gravo of conseorated ground in tho comotery of the HOLY CEOSS, purchased a good black walnut coffin, hired a hoarse, and in duo and proper courso had tho remains decently interred like a Christian man.

The circumstance had been forgotten, no doubt, when a few days ago Doctor Cochran was waited upon at his office iu this oity, by the vory Italian Consul whom he had consulted in tho caso of tho death and burial of the youug Bailor, Nicholas Scheperman. In telligence had been received concerning that young man, whoso friends in Italy had heard of bis death and had been months engaged in efforts to learn the par ticulars. It seoms that, impelled by domestic circumstances of an unpleasant nature, ho bad left his home unknown, and that tho hardships of tho voyage and tho rough treatment had cauBcd his death. If ho was alive to day affiuenco would be showorcd upon him. A.

numorous clrclo of afflicted friends and relatives mourn his untimely fate; but, thanks to Dr. Coohran, thoy do no deploro tho fate of a relative who fills a paupor's It is understood that tho remains are to bo disinterred and taken to tho fair land of Italy. THE STORAGE RESERVOIR. Exorbitant Demands for Awards by tbe Property Holders Com missioners to Take tne jtiands At a meeting of the Water Board, at a late hour on Saturday afternoon, President Fowler in tho Chair, and Commissioners Lowbor and Bliss preaont, with Socretory Northup recording, tho Bubjoct of acquiring tho necessary lands for converting Nichols', Oliver's and Demott's ponds into a storago reservoir was taken into consideration, and tho rural proporty holders having failed to accopt fair awards for tho landa it was unanimously resolved that application be made to tho Supreme Court for tho appointment of Commis sioners to tako tho lands oa provided by law. Pursuant to this resolution, Corporation Counsel Do Witt made formal application before Judge Pratt, of tho Supremo Court, for tho appointment of Messrs.

John H. Prentice, Uichard Ingraham and Isaao Van Andcn as such Commissioners. The application was granted, and tho Commissioners will therefore proceed at an early day to appraise and tako the lands at what may scorn to them, upon investigation, a fair price, in cluding such awards for damages as may be justly made. This action was necessitated by the exorbitant de mands of tho owners of tho property needod, somo of whom demanded prices several times in excess of tho valuation of similarly located proporty at or adjacent to the Bite of the projected reservoir. Tho Wator Board baa been in negotiation with tho property holdorB for somo time paBt, but evory effort to obtain the landa at a price even approximating tho highest impartial valuation being mado in vain, tho Board foil back upon tho provision of tho law for meeting this difficulty, which was foreseen, and which may now bo considered as checkmated.

THE NORMAL SCHOOL. Much tnlk and speculation has been indulged in lately regarding the establishment, under tho auspices of the Board of Education of this oity, of a Normal school. With a no doubt laudable curiosity, inquiring minds havo demanded to know by what authority it wbb to bo dono, whether tho Board Banc tionned it, whether tho teachers would be compelled to attend it, and what was the plan upon which it was based, how tho teachers liked it, and questions of like pertinence and import. ho Eaole roportor to day had a brlof conversation on tho subject with Mr. Dean, a gentleman eonnectod as a clork in the office of tho Board, and learned that no official action had yet boon takon In regard matter, though it had boon talked of and pretty goner ally agreed upon among tho members.

It Is not to entail ono cent of oxponso. Tho teachers may attend or not, JuBt as thoy pleaso. Messrs. Buckloy and Cruckahank will act as teachers, and tho school sessions will bo hold ovory Saturday at one of tho sohool housos, and finally that tho matter will bo brought officially boforo tho Board at tho mooting to morrow afternoon. If such ia tho ease, tho readers of tho Eaole will know all about it in duo time.

A large audience was addressed last evening in the State street Congregational Churoh by the pastor, Eev. M. P. Gaddis, upon "the uses and abuses of nodal organizations." His text was tho 83d verse of the 15th chapter of Corinthians: "Be not deceived, ovil communications corrupt good manners." God had endowed ub with a Bocial nature and we were fortunate in having at command tho mcanB and appliances to make it contribute to our welfaro and happiness. At times, however, we allowed this social nature to run away with us.

As one of tho clergy of this city bo had given his approval to dancing occasionally and tho young peoplo of his congregation had takon advantago of it to have a social ALMOST EVERY NIGHT IN THE WEEK. The speaker entered upon a oriticism of tho social clubs, taking the Mineola as what ho regarded tho highest typo of them. Ho also spoko of the Blossom and others, composed largely of a class of good fellows, so called, but ho could uot see how many of them oould afford to pay out fifty or sixty dollars a month on a salary of thirty five or forty. The sermon was a general stirring up of tho young pooplo aud exhibiting to ihem in Btrong colors the oxcesB03 to which thoy carried tholr pleasures. A COMMENT ON THE BEV.

MB. GADDIS' SERMON. Beooklyn, March 0, 1871. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eaole: I attended Mr. Gaddis' churoh.

last Sunday evening, and bo took for bis text, "Evil communications corrupt good manners." During the sermon ho made eoveral remarks upon cortain clubs and members of theao clubs. The following are a few Club rooms wero no places for young men; called indirectly tho members of thieves, In fact fast young men that each member paid a due of $50 per month wished to know whether mothers would allow their daughter to danoo with a notorious gambler and thief. Also, that the "Saturday Night" danced till 12X o'olook. That all clubs should open with a prayer and a hymn. In the first place, is it not natural for young men to congregate and comment upon business and the pleasures of tho past week 7 And if they do not meet in a "room" where shall they meet, on street corners 7 Is it compatible with young men to "bo in bed at half past nine?" Now, is tho churoh a place for saints or sinners 7 Is not the 'churoh a proper place for gamblers, etc.

7 Then, when we are in Mr. Gaddis' church do we not sit with sinners gamblers? If not, if we aro angels already, what will bis preaching avail us The President of the Club, whom Mr. G. partionlar ized, was honest and honorable as far as the members knew of him. Was It, then, their fault that he turned out wrong 7 How many times do we hear of ministers of the Gospel running away with their neighbors' wives, and even daughters 7 Is the congregation to suffer to be brought up beforo the world beoauso their ministers so err 7 Is the "Mineola" to be paraded and even slandered to tho publio because its President has erred 7 Mr.

Gaddis, are you right in tho courso you tako to convert the young? Docb a stubborn child improve when chastised publicly? Mr. had you gone privately to tho man whom you havo bo openly blamed, and endeavored to turn him into the right path, tbe members of sold olub and of all clubs would have honoied you. Instead they look upon you as a man who knows nothing of human nature. Ono who forgets the days of hiB youth. No member BUbscrihes $su per month nor hall that sum.

Enough is always taken at the door to pay all expenses. Did Mr. G. think to ask tho member that subsorlbod $25 to ohurch. where be would get it from 7 Tho Saturday Night Social" never remain till 12.

Even New YearB ovo, the night of all nights, tho night when all the young are expected to dance the Old Year out and tho New Year in, they danced only till ten minutes to 12, then stopped immediately and sang hymns till 12. At all other "Baturaay flights" tne participators novo retired at precisely UX. Let me advise you (I do not say hypocrite) "first piuca me oeam irom imuo own eye. ana men Bnaa thou Bee cieany to pun me mote out oi thy Drotner's eye." K.D. MB.

GADDIS AND THE MINEOLA. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: The pastor of the State street Consresation. al Church delivered last evening a lecture on "So. ciables." in which he took occasion to make an unwarrantable attaok on tho membera of the Mineola Club, on account of the misconduct of one of its members. As somo of tho statements which the Rev.

gentleman assured the audience as facta, are false. I take the op portunity of correcting them, The Mineola do not meet in a club room to smoke cigars, Bwoar, gamble, or discuss women reason, thoy have no club room. Tho Mineola never hold sociables on Saturday night there uy uucroacuing upon mo aauoam. li aoos not require sixty dollars a month from each member to support the uiineoio. In the courso of his eormon the reverend crentleman informed the audience that there was a time for everything.

I would Buggcst that, among other things, there to a iiwv luc prayer ana uiuie rcaaiug. 11 WOUta 00 as much out of place to commenco a ball with prayer or bible reading as it was in the reverend gentleman, a week or bo ago, invoking Divine blessing on "Box and vox uuu iiu acmes to mono." The reverend gentleman also informed tho audience that thero were ten good manners. I tako the lihertv of adding anotber. In talking of a gentleman, espe uiuuj luvuioiiu uiubuur, ii wouiu ue mannerly CO preface the sir namo with Mr. I think the Hov.

The wooden pavement was originally petitioned for from that block, two or throe paid their assessments, and many felt in honor bound to stand by their signatures. Somo held the subject under adviBomont. Ho thought, bowovor, tho bloek was good for twenty signatures in resisting tbe assess ment. Tho Chairman suggested tho collection of money as soon as nracticablo. Mr.

Tho gentlemen lived in brown stone fronts, and woro prob uuiy goou lor it, tuougu peruaps people orown atone frontB were not always Rood. rLauahter.l Tbo Chairman said in roferenco to Mr. Delanoy's remarks about thoso who petitioned for wooden pave ments, that they did not petition to Do swindled on impbovements.

Doughty $1.59, Messrs. Flynn and Betts $15.87. Mr. Petit, of tho Committee to the Central Association, stated that the best report he could give was to be found in yesterday's Eaole. which gave it all.

The Chairman of tho Law Committeo gave a most oheerlng view of tho situation. It was requested by the Law Committee that the Cumberland street proporty ownerB Bhould Beloot a committee of not less than Bix or moro than twelve to represent them as platntuts in the suit about to be begun. Snowing tbat there would be a full report in the Eaole, Mr. Petit Btated that he took no special notes of tho meeting, and he was indebted to that report for some of the facts already given, and whloh otherwise would have escaped his memory. A motion was adopted appointing a committee of inree to present cue names oi persons to report to cne Law Committee as plaintiffs to represent the street in this suit.

Albert Jewett, Geo. W. Oaraon. E.Hoagland, all residents of tho street, were elected as the committee. A COMMITTEE TO OATHEB FACTS.

Mr. Seabury, of the Special Committee to tho Central Committee, Btated that tbe Chairman of the Central Association desired them to appoint a Committee to gather such facts in relation to the ropaving of tho street, as might be useful to tbo counsel employed in prosecuting tho cose. The Chairman suggested tbat differences in assessment of property of precisely the samo area and supposed value, extraordinary taxes aud other facts of a similar nature were probably what was wanted. At this point sovoral gentlemen related some personal experience. Mr.

Andrew Nelson thought that his property would be as good a test case as any in tho city. He had a little over two lots, and was assessed $1,135. It was true it was a corner lot (oorner of Myrtle avenuo and Cumberland Btreot), but tho owner of property next to him, whose lots were nearly as large, was assessed only $122. The speaker's property was a tapering lot, a little over OS feet on Myrtle avenue and 105 feet on Cumberland street THEX HAD BETTEB HUBBY TO. A gentleman present who had evidently boou previously vory much abBent, inquired what had beon done for Cumberland street.

He had been notified by a oity official tbat they hadbetter hurry up, as tho tax bills would probably be out very soon. The Chairman briefly Informed tbo gentleman what bad transpired. The City, as he understood it, had to advertise ninety days after the bill had been issued before selling, and before the timo of selling the Law Committee could get au injunction. THE LAW OF THE FACTS. Mr.

W. Goodrich desired to know whethor the contest was going to bo made upon points of law or of fact. Tho Chairman statod that tho counsel desired to obtain all tbe facts in the case, but their method of proceeding was not yet understood. Mr. Lennon wished a solution of the following conundrum.

He had Btated at the first meeting that ho hod petitioned for repaying the street and ho felt it hia duty to pay that asaessment. Now he appeared as a contestant, and Mr. Lennon wanted to know whether it was "In a legal point of view," or whothor because it waB a debt of honor. If he, (Mr. Lennon,) had petitioned he could not appear at such a meetiig.

WOODEN PAVEMENTS AN ECONOMICAL LTTXUBT. Mr. Goodrich said The question is a fair one. I said tho other night that I signed a petition I think it was for the Belgian pavement. I beliove in improved pavements of somo kind.

I petitioned for a wooden pavement, and two years after, when anothor movement was made on the atroot, I signed a petition for another. I am perfectly willing to pay my assessment. As a matter of fact, I had rather pay it every two years rathor than havo no wooden pavement in front of my house. I regard it as an economical luxurv but I am unwilling to bo assessed for my bouse and afterwards for tho city at large. If tho city tax waa two millions, li wouiu uua one quarter mis year to my taxes.

JNow 1 say I am willing to pay my assessment if it shall bo decided that I am to pay, and all tho city is to pay. But I don't propose to nay mv assessment at all uuIcsb that be the decision of the last Court in this State, or por jiupg in uie umceu scales. IT WILL IMPAIB TITLE TO PBOPEBTy. It may be propor to say that somo timo or other thorc will a practical diillcultv arise with centlemcn who are selling property. If I want to sell my housothla assessment will appear.

No person will tako tho properly with that cloud over it. I don't Beo how they aro to 03 capo paying it. And nino times out of ten they will bo called upon to give a bond or other security or nav tho assessment. Thoy can escape this by PAYING THEIB MONEY UNDER PROTEST. It Bhould be a carefully drawn protest and embracing all the points upon which tho citizen protests against paying me i own proporty not only upon this street but upon Atlantic and Flatbush aveuuos, but I dOU't DrOUOSC to nftV ailV nnn nf thnnn ftqflixqamtinta till It goes fo the Court of last resort.

I don't advise any one to pay. My own judgment ia very strong upon this, matter, that THIS MONEY CANNOT BE COLLECTED from tho property owners. Wo lawyers sometimes got a sort of instinct about tho law of a case, and my strong impression is mai mo law esiaDUsnou uy tho Supromo Court of Pennsylvania, 1b the oorroct one. I have further to Bav that I flipnnd fnr fcllia ruivitmnni. when it was $8 a yard.

It is now Bix or seven. Thoro's been some slight mistake Bomowhcro or other. I presume if any gentleman wautH his back yard pavod with this wooden pavement ho can got it contracted for $3.25 a Bquaro yard instead of six or seven. Mr. Leunan was very glad that his question had been asked, and had wondered that tho Central Association weut over to new York for counsel.

Mr. Goodrich's explanations would do them all good. IN FAVOE OF MAKING TO A CASE. Mr. Goodrich said that tho reason ho had inmiirnn how tho question was going to bo contested waB because of his experience in litigating with tho Park.

In tbat case it waB only a law question, and he was freo to say that he had not much faith in a question of law. Thoro waB no question about tho facts. A nrintod statement of them might bo made up and submitted ot tho Gon erai ierm ana in six months, at least, tho wholo question could be decided on tho law. He would like to son this question made up alone on the law. Ho felt so sure and strong upon it that ho was half inclined to ogree with tbo city oither in bis own or Bomo other case to make up the question and submit it.

Then if that person was beaten lot him pay hiB assessment. DUNNING MB. OOODBICH AGAIN. Mr. Lennon Do vou nronose.

Mr. Goodrich, to nav this bill in a legal point of view or as a debt of honor 1 Mr Goodrich (with emnhasisi I havo said three or four times that I don't intend to pay it at all. LijuuiiLer.j The Chairman thouoht it verv reasonable that a man might petition for a pavement and afterwards resist the assessment. A gentleman, for instanco, with a Btrect in front of his houBe paved with boulders, did not expect to pay for tho most extravagant pavement. THIS VEXED QUESTION TO BESUXT IN GOOD.

Mr. Goodrich I think this navnmnnl nuesHnn will in the end perhaps, result In good to tho city. If oallod upon to pay.this assessment it may bo a cheaply earned lesson. In being mixed up with politics for somo years back I have bad occasion to sco how matters havo beon conducted in these two cities. Here is a city of four hundred thousand inhabitants, and it costs us eight millionB a year to run it.

I presumo there are gentlemen in this city to day, our friend Seabury, for instance, who would do all wo have done for us at two millions and govern the city bottor than it ia governed WE HAVE AN ASSESSED VALUATION of two hundred and thirteon millions. Tho debt of tho State is only thirty two or thirty three millions outside of theso two cities. It is acknowledged that Now York has a debt of eighty three millions. I remember whon when it was reckoned at twcnty BOven millions, or what ours is now. Their assessed valuation ia about nino hundred millions.

In rcforonco to this monstrous indebtedness of Brooklyn Mr. Goodrich Baid Wn urn nn. Bwcred by tho oity that if it was to Bell its proporty wo would not be in debt. Well, that is a very queer arrangement by which tho city can escape bankruptcy. I speak of thCBO tilings for this reason Wo Bhould havo A GOOD SOUABE FIGHT.

POLITICALLY. on national issues, but It eeems to me that in theso uui ilium cumo, ana pernaps nas como, when tho taxpayers must do something to protect thomsolvos from downright open robbery.

There was a strango Buplncnoss in thia matter. Tho speaker introduced a bill tho other day to reduce tho debt of tho city $400,000. Ho had not received a letter or a petition in favor of it from a single citizen of Brooklyn. It was a bill to reduce tho Park expenditure to $100,000 a year. He epoke of it to show that our pcoplo wero asloop, and whilo wo aro asleep," concluded Mr.

Goodrich, other pooplo aro wide awako whoso business it is to bo in politics, and I think it is an evil class in community." Applauso. THE COMMITTEE ON FACTS.

'Wallace Holllngshead 100 pairs of shoos for $1.75 per pair which could bo purchased from tho same firm for $1 per pair, commenced this morning. The Hon.

Correspondence of the Eagle.J Obweoo, N. March 3, 1871. The trial of Dan Noble, for the Koyal In surance bond robbery, in New York about four yoars ago, took placo beforo tho Court of Oyer and Torminer, of Tioga County, at Oswego, to day, Judgo Boardman presiding, and associates Farrington, West and BidwelL This is tho sixth trial Noble has had, each previous one resulting In a disagreement of the jury and their discharge. New trials were granted and had In Elmira, Blnghamton, New York, and Noblo was released on giving bonds, until two weeks since his bondsmon handed him over to the Sheriff of Tioga County. Tho parties who participated in the robbery havo mot with the fate usual to such characters.

One perished in tho New Hamburgh oataBtropho another, Griffln, is now Borving sentence in Sing Sing State Prison for robbing the Dime Savings Bank of Brooklyn. The testimony was given by one of the partici pants in tho robbery, who has turned States evidence, with an abandon seldom witnosscd in any court room. Tho spacious court room was crowded to excosB. Tho testimony showed that two men entorod tho office of tho Royal Insurance Compauy, corner of WaU and Pearlstrecto, Now York. Whilo ono questioned tho officer in charge about life insurance, stating that they were going South and desired to effect an insurance on their Uvea, the other, Griffin, wandored about tho room until ho saw a tin box lying on tho opon safo, and when tho officer's attontion was diBtrocted, Griffin seized tho tin box containing tbo bonds and othor valuables and passing out tho door, handed tho box to Noblo who flod.

Griffln then romrning to tho office, awaited patlontly the termination of tho intorview, and left with his companions passing down WaU streot to Wator, overtaking Noblo, and mado haste to their fence to examine tho contents of tho box, and sharo alike tho troasure. But not so, Noblo had possession of tho box and a strong arm to defend it (Noblo is a prizo flgbtor of much renown), and declined to divide with his thieving companions. AU tho gang oxcopt Noblo wont to Canada and corresponded with tho officers of the Royal Insur ance Company, whereupon a eottlomont was oflectod, and the thlovcs woro to oomo to tho Stato as witnesses agalnBt Noble. AU tho partlos aro exports, and are weU known to the pollco of Now York. Tho theory of tho defense Ib that Noblo acted simply as a messenger, or portor, for Griffin, and know not the intention of Griffln or that tho box haudod him was stolon property.

Thoy had not told Noblo thoy wont In to steal, and thoy who wont in had not calculated tho chance, but wore easily persuaded when they eaw tho tin box in the opon safe. Thoy laston me guilt upon Griffin, who is now in prison. The parties agroo that thoy wore au sobor, rrom tno foot that aU three had not onough monoy to buy a drluk. The trial wiU occupy several days. Eminent counsel has been engaged by Noble, among which )b Mr.

Charles S. Sponoor, of New York. It 1b beliovod no jury can bo found in tho State that will convict Noble, and this wiU probably ond tho caso of bo many years' duration. A moro baro facod robbery was never oommittod, and so woU planned as to guarantoo tho oscapo of all the participators with their iU golton gains. W.

Attempted Rape and Probable Homicide. Frederlok Eobinson, an Irishman, twenty two years of age, and employed as a bartender somewhere in this city, was this morning brought up before Justice Walsh, chargod with a felonious assault upon John B. Eeer, at the Montauk Hotel, in Fulton street. No particulars of the case were disolosed in Court beyond the complaint, nor could any be learned beyond the fact that thejicoused gavo boll, to appear for examination Bomo day next week, Tho roturne of tho Second Police Precinct, howovor, contain tho following faots in relation to the caso: This prisoner," says tho returns, in oompany with A YOUNG MAN NAMED LAJIIGAN, is charged with attempting to commit a rapo on two girls, named Mary Little and Belle Grange, who resldo at No. 127 Dufficld stroot, and also with a felonious assault upon J.

Keor. Tho girls, it is understood, wont, in company with tho men named, to a ball at Gothic Hall, on last Saturday night, and when thoy left there it was cousldorod too late for them to return homo. The men therefore took thorn to the Montauk Hotel, in Fulton stroot, near the ferry, where a room was proourefl and thoy went to bod, and thoir companions went away. Presently thoy were aroused and found the two and Lanlgan, in the room attempting to outrage them. They made sn alarm, and Eeer, who was slcoplng in an adjoining room, was aroused and wont to their assistance.

As soon as ho appeared both men set upon him, and one of them STABBED HIM WITH A KND7E, inflicting, it is thought, serious wounds. By this time Roundsman Granger, of the Second Precinct was at the scene of the fray and took chargo of the wounded man, who was taken to the Station House and had his wounds dressed. Robinson was subsequently arrested, with the result we have Btated, and up to thiB time nothing further could be ascertained of the offense. But its development, whenevor it shall take place, promises some queer disclosures. E.

D. Lieeaey Association. A meeting of porsonB intoroBted in the purohose of a building Bite and the erection of a suitable edifice for tho purposes of the library, was held at the roomB in South Eighth street, on Saturday evening, at whloh measures were adopted whereby it is anticipated that tho amount of funds necessary to commence operations shall be at once obtained. Tho amount already sub Bcribed is upward of $60,000 in Bhares of $100 each, and to get the remainder various members of the Association were allotted certain districts to oanvass for further subscriptions. Two sites ore In contemplation, either of which is available for tbe purposo, and located on leading streets of tho district, and in a very few years hence will more than double on the present valuation.

Maeeied in Haste. Herman Zimmer, a young German, waa orrested yesterday by Detoctlve Short on warrant issued at the complaint of Mrs. Mary Schenckenborg, charging him with tho theft of two pocket knives and a pan of spectacles, valued at two dollars, about a week ago. When about to be locked up the prisoner exhibited to Captain Mullen a marriage certificate, by which it appeared that in addition to the above larceny he had also stolon the daughter of his victim as well, who was then his wifo, in consideration of which fact Mrs. Schenkenborg deolinod to press tho complaint to day, and young Zimmer escaped the penalty of his crime.

Peesentation to Assistant Enotneeb Vebitzah. On Saturday evening ABBistant Engineer Georgo Veritzan was tho recipiont of a handsome white cap, presontcd to him at the house of Stephen MoMahon, Grand and Fourth streets, E. by a number of old friends desirous of making some acknowledgment in a practical way of the valuable services rendered by him in his line of duty.

mh'J SwFATu1 TUESDAY EVEW'O MARCH 7. From Yesterday's Fourth Edition. PEBS0N AL. Cabnoghan. How much Dr.

Carnoohan, the Health Officer, has owed to the thick and thin Report of all his measures and constant eulogy of him aolf, In tho Now York Herald, every obsorvor of local public events Is aware All through last Summer, when tho merchants were boiling over with Indignation at tho Quarantine exactions, the Herald steadfastly championed Dr. Carnocban, and hid out of sight tho real complaint against him. that ho undertook to pro scribe what docks in tho city cargoes should bo discharg ed at, by seconding his outcry about tho danger of pestilence as If cargo landed at Atlantic. Dook, after paying toll to Quarantine, was any less dangorouB to publio health than the samo cargo would bo, landed near Wall streot ferry without paying toll to Quaran tine. How, bowovor, at last tho Doctor bos contrivod to cool ovon the Herald's fervent friendship.

Ho voted in the New York Board of Health in favor of allowing tho manuro dumping on the North Kivor wharves to oontlnue, and the Herald, while eulogizing him as a man of high professional ability, a giant among giants as a physician," yet charges Mm with being now in different to tho health of tho city, and warns him that as it has made a great man of him by puffing him, It now proceed to pull him down from the eminonco to which it has elevated him. It says Tbe "pressure" which ward politicians can bring to bear upon the conscientious aotion of a publio officer anouia not oo regaraea as a learners woignc wnen measured agniuBt the power of an independent press, wnicn, renectmg tno viows oi tne people, can unmaE0 as it makeB, public men. Baeres. Among the arrivals at Washing ton reported this morning, is that of Mr. A.

S. Barnes, the book publisher, of this city. Pike. The New Hampshire eleotion takes place on Wednesday. Tbe contest is a pretty even and doubtful ono, as tho usual Republican majority is small, and this year a Temperance and Labor ticket is ozpoct ed to take some votes from tho Republicans.

A speoial interest attaches to the election from the Republicans having gone to the church for their Governor, and nominated tho Rev. Mr. Pike, a member of tho M. Book Committeo and Presiding Elder of the Methodist Episcopal churches in the State. It is an in teresting question whethor the Methodists will regard such a nomination as an Insult or a compliment; whether Mr.

Pike will draw Democratio Methodist votes, or whethor tho intrusion of the politicians into the church, and their seizing the chief pastor in his pulpit to make a political tool of him, will not incense all right feeling religious men, both of Mr. Pike's own and other denominations, and lead them to protest by their votes against this desecration of tho religious function, and scandalous attempt to drag tho church direotly into the mire of partisan struggles. Supposing tho Democrats here were to nominate Bishop Littlejohn or Bishop Loughlin for Mayor. Every sensible man would see in such an act a scandalous burlosque on religion. Yet this is just what the Republicans have done in New Hampshire, in selecting the Presiding Elder of the Methodist Church as their candidate for Governor.

DeMott. Mr. S. Hi DeMott, of Pearsall's Corners, Long Island, writes a letter, denouncing tho conduct of the Rev. O.

Eelsey, the preacher in charge of tho Rockaway Methodist Churoh. He says Ho has refused to preach in the old church, has taken power from the olass leaders, dispersed tho Sabbath school, even aavisea one worthy BiBter to Keep away from the old church, Baying every timo sbo attonded meeting there that she sinned against her maker. This is strange talk for ono professing to bo a Christian minister. Ho does not and dare not deny that his intentions wore to cloBe the old ohuroh, whloh has Btood for upward of eighty years, and at present retains four nicns 01 tne congregation, ana is in a nourishing state. We intend worshiping in the old church in a nronor Christian spirit despite any interference from any un christian source, De it u.

neisey, tne presiding elder, or any other misled clergyman. The dispute about tho old church at Rockaway Boems capable of very easy solution. Let somo now pastor be sont to the old church to minister to those members who wish to remain in attendance there and lot Mr. Eelsoy's superiors sond him to tho new location to which he wants the church removed, and thoro lot him found a new churoh without destroying the old. Watktns.

The Eev. Wilbur Piske Wat kins, formerly the popular and eloquent pastor of the M. Church in Hanson place, is to be ordained to tho priesthood of tho Episcopal Church on Tuesday ovon ing.tin Rov. Dr. Paddock's State street Churoh, St.

Peter's, and will deliver a discourse on the occasion. Mr. Watkins is a man of wealth and high Booial position, as well as eminent ministerial ability, and his change of church connection has arousod considerable interest both in the church he quitted and in that which ho has joined. Yotrwo. Erie, reports that one of its citizens wishing some Brooklyn lawyer to tako testimony in a certain case, not knowing any lawyer thero, sent a telegram requesting tho telegraph manager to "ask reliable young lawyer if he can take testimony, March and the answor camo back: "Iioliablo Young not known here," Kalbfleisch.

His Honor the Mayor is reported to be rapidly recovering, in evidence of which there appears in another column, a voto message, written personally by his Honor, this morning, tho ontire document from date to signature being in his own handwriting. LONG ISLAND ITEMS. Jumped Off. On Saturday afternoon aB one of the late boats of tho East River Ferry Company waB leaving Hunter's Point for James slip, a father and son uudcrtook to overtake it. The father reached the deck, but the son, a boy of ten or twelve years, who held the hand of hia father, was not bo fortunate, and struck the Dow of the boat.

As ho had tho hand ofthe father ho did not fall into tho water, but remained suspended over it. The wildest excitement prevailed for a ehort timo, A number of men saved tho man ond prevented him from being drawn overboard, untd one of tho deck bands managed to throw a rope around the boy, by which he was drawn on deck, J. Mitchell, nephew of Hon. H. J.

Mitchell, of Manhassetl, was thrown from his carriage while re turning from the Court House to hia homo last woek, and soriously injured. Ono of hia legs was broken and ho waB otbcrwiBc severely bruised. Meeting at Jamaica. At a meeting of the farmers on Saturday night, resolutions opposing the location of the Court House at Mincola were adopted, and Mr. O'Donuell was seut to Albany to opposo the measure.

Ditoeced. Sophia C. Davis, of Stony Brook, has obtained an order of separation, alimony, and the custody of a child, from William Davia. Damaging Fibe. Three barns, twenty head of cattle, one colt, and several pigs, beside wagons, harness, hay and grain, belonging to Jacques Bennett, of East Marion, were destroyed by an incendiary fire which broke out simultaneously in tho throe barns.

Lobs $10,000. Lageb Beeii and Broken Heads a Man Cluubed nv an Officer, but not Arrested. James Billen, a Bhocmakcr, living and doing business at the corner of Flushing aveuue and Bartlett etrect, E. got a little high on sundry glasses of lager beer, in which ho indulged to excess, and in a freo fight, in which, by his own confession, he was the aggressor, one of the combatants shied a glaBB mug at the head of Billen, cutting a gash about three inches in length. Two friends of tho wounded man took him to the Fourth stroct Station whore tho cut was dressed by Surgeon Creamer, and on belug questioned as to tho nature of the affray, and who were his assailants, tho man considerately refused to throw any light on the affair, and was assisted to his home by tho friends accompanying him.

Another affray of a somewhat different nature, but the same in rcault, in which, aa alleged, an Oillcor Hig gina took a promlnont hand, ocenrrod on Friday at tho residence of Henry Patri, No. 407 Broadway. It appears from this man's story that he and his wife arranged to have ono little masquerade all by themselves, with a view of amusing their, neighbors. Acting on tho suggestion made by Patri, his wife donned his apparel aud he hers, and thus arrayed they danced about and bad a rogular fandango, which was confined exclusively to the Interior of the premises. About this timo and during tho temporary absence of tho husband from his own apartment, bo having gone into that of another tenant, Officer Biggins happened to be in tho vicinity, nd noticing a number of people gathered about the windows of Patri'B room, took a look for himself, and on seeing Mrs.

Patri dressed In male attire wont insido, as he says, to compol tho woman to assume tho habiliments suited to her Bex, Patri, who at this moment returned, alleges however that tho offlcor had pushed his wifo down upon a bed, at which he remonstrated and was at once assaulted by tho officer, who struck him several blows with his club, cutting his head opon and bruising his shoulder. For this Patri oontomplato3 preferring a chargo against the officer, who, it would seem, is not entirely blameless for tho reason that ho failed to arrLSt oither party. A Missing Man Found Drowned. The Deceased Late a Resident of Williambbubqii Ono of the many cases of mystorious disappearance of residents of tho Eastern District in particular, was yesterday partially explained by tho finding of the body at tho foot of Chambers street. Tho namo of tho missing man was Maurico Comyn, who lived with an elder brother, a dry goodB merchant, in Grand stroot, and had beon in tho employment of tho Erlo Railroad Company.

On the 18th of Fobruary, Comyn went to Jersoy City to rocclvo wages duo him, after obtaining which ho is known to have met with an acquaintance named Patrick whom ho visited Bovoral drinking saloons, and in tho courso of tho day both became Intoxicated, and in this state continued tholr peregrinations about tho city in tholr carouse The following morning they were Been in company on a boat of the Pavonla ferry, bound for New York, which waB tho last Been of Comyn until yesterday morning, when hia body was found as stated. BIdco tho disappearance the friends of Comyn have made diligent search, aud a few days since the first clue was obtained from a nowsboy who had found a hat stained with blood lying on tho dock of a barge at the Erie pier, foot of Chambers street, and a careful scrutiny of tho barge itself rosultod in tho discovery of bloody stains upon the rail of the vessel. The hat having been identified as the samo worn by tho deceased previous to his disappearance, and Uenncsscy being last seen in his compauy just preceding his disappearance, tho latter waB arreatcd on Saturday last aud arraigned boforo Justice Martindalo, of Jersey City, to whom the prisoner admitted tho facts already stated, and that both had drank to excess. Ho further Baid that in one of the saloons visited Comyn had bceu on gaged in a fight with a stranger, by whom ho had beon badly beaten, aftor which ho went to Now York with Comyn, whoro they separated, Binco which tlmo ho had neither soon nor heard of deceased. Hennessey was remanded to prison to await a more rigid examination to morrow.

An examination of tho body of Comyn dcvolopod a single wound or external bruiso on tho forouoad, and until post mortem examination by a surgeon tbo direct cause of death caunot to a certainty bo pronounced..
