ObJeeting to a Minister in Scotland: Victoria's Health,
The Presbytery-, of Sterling met on Tues-
day in the parish chm•ch of Alloa for
the pueposetef examining Witnessee in
connexion with the disputed se4tlernent of
Mr. Gunn, Dollar, iu the parishof AllotIt May net be without interest, says. the
Globe, to Southern parsons, who, on pre4en-
,
tation, outer -securely into possession of their
snug benefices, Whear the ordeal to which
their ..Northern feliow-v orkers are exposed
ere they enter into enjoyenenr, of the loaves
fishes presented them. Suppose a pat-
ron of a benefice meth of the Tweed pre-
sent a minister with such a benefice who. is
• for any reasoil obnoxious to the congree
gation, an investigation of _the reasons fur
such unpopularity is commonly made before
the Presbytery assembled ender the presi-
dency of a moderatoi . if they rat4y the Ob.
jections, the patron usually recitals hie pre-
entatiOn. It is obvions that 'when it is -
,opell to any ot the congregation to iodge an
objection again at a. prea eller,' it is woe to
the preachee ifhe be not merely omniscient
and ail -powerful in tile esitreasion of his
omniscience, but also if he fail to convince
his- congregation of these capacities. Ap-
parently the fit•st leSsun taught us gty- Mr.
• Gunu'a case is to alloid alt technicalitiegin
your sermon, and to keep to theehey. The
first objection made against the »teacher -by
one witness was the following sentence
-"Open any sint-le vein in your bodyand you
will bleed- to death." - The surge n to the
parish flock objected that this sentence
which occurred in ar. Gunn'S tri: 1 sermon '
was incort•ect, that it might have een true,

THE HURON EXPOSITOR. _
PROBARLE ABDICATION. OF THE QUEEN AND
REOENCY OF THE PRIZIOE OF WALES.
The London correepondent of the New
York lierald predicts that the eomin,g
session of Parliament, which opens early in
February, will be a most eventful one,
Apart from all measures of law -making,
there is no doubt that the health of the
Queen of Englandis such as to, render it
very probable that a regent will be ap-
pointed. Her M;tjesty's health has itevee
been. fully restored since the death of her
-
husband, Prince Albert ; but latterly she
has become less than over fit, for public busi-
ness. The Prince of Wales, would, of
-course, be named Prince Regent, a suitable
_Allowance being given hull to support his
position. That he will be populat there
can be no doubt, as, indeed, he already is to
geat degree, and his wife more so even
than the Prince. The change will be very
well received by the nation et large, for the
absence of court pomp and eXpendittire for
so many years has caused a terrible agitati-
on in trade all over the kingdom. The
Prince of Wales has a peat fund of common
sense. - Hefully knows and accepts his
position for the futere, and understands
better than July of his femily have ever
done how an English king Imust rule, and
not govelm—how he must be, at .one and
the same timethe most and the least in-
fluential person in the whole kingdoin: His
• mother Wiis 110 (101111i. very popular for
many :ecers, lett the public .got into their
heads an Idea that she interfered. or rather
that Prince Albert thought she
in State Affair's, .and then her
ce:tsed in • a glen. measure.
Prince died she has been the

pope levity
trice the
reverse of
popular. - At first When the widowhood be-
gan, English teen and women sympathized
-deeply with bet ; but her privkte sorrow
has made- her forgot her publie-. duty and-
heriorig continued seclusion frotu the world
:which has now lasted more than seven years,.
has, in point of fact., .removed from. the
heart of England and greatly changed—not;
fOt the bettereethe tone of English sOelets.
Lienee it is tbet the appointment of a re-
,
gent wottld belpoputer, and;
...or many prin-
ciple reasonsaPie 'Prince of Wales..would be
moslpopular as regent. Ile has his faults

MINISTERIAL TOGGERIES.—It is said that
at a recent Cabinet meeting a most import-
.
ant subject came up for discussion. Tt did
not refer, however to the Red River troubles
or to the banking policy, but to the custom GROCERIES
w.hich .ought to be adopted by minis-
ters at the state ball which they intend
giving to Prince A rthur. John A. 1V2.1,S in
favor of the old blue and silver toggery
which members of •the Cabinet' wore when AND
the Prince of Wales visited this country
1. 2
and in which they were mistaken for Offic-
ers of navy ; but Cartier was opposed to
that, and wantild the English court suit,
which would remind him, the Hon. Baronet
said, of those pleasant'days " Ven 1 vos at
V.indSOT." Sir Francis objected on. the
grounds of economy, to both propositions,
and said that, for his part, he thought that
the Governn-ient could not do better than. ,
avail themselves of the offer, Made by Sher- . 10
iff :Powell upon another occasion, to lend
them the uniforms of the 43rd Battalion.
Council broke up without, having come to
any decision as to the dress question, --Ot-
tawa Free.Press.
Se:ANDAL.---Anqther clerical scandal—
this time,in the a Church of 'United Bre-
thern"—has come to us from beyond the
border. A rev. pastor, not content with a
wife and three children of hislown, runs off
with a young cul, and for a long time con-
tinues his duties in another pars of the
country-, and even takes a leadership in a
great religious revival. At last he _ sends
his victim back to het parents in a coffin !
and gets lodging for himself in a jail at
Count,erville on a charge of having poisoned
her*; thus out-Cookening Cooke. If things
go on thus in the States, the title of "rev-
erned" will come to be valued at less than
nothing, and men clothed in the. garb of
religion will be very • wisely avoided. It
wouldbe interesting to speculate on the
causes -of this tendency in the American
society, but perhaps the time ss hardly
come. Dependence is the antogonist of
truth. •

How He Became Deaf
A Vermont landlord, famous for being
deaf just when he wanted to, when rallied
upon his infirmity one day, told his amused
guests the following story :
When a young Man he workPd On a farm
for a stingy old farmer, in an adjoining
town : On leaving him, a balance of two
dollars was due George for wages. Having
called repeatedly for \his money, the old
man had some excuse for not paying. A
sow of the old man's had a litter of pigs,
consisting of four; one of them, which is
generally the case, being a small mint, as
they call them. \ George told the old man
that he would take a pig for his money, the
eld man said he might have the Small one;
George jumped in the pen, and seized the
largest pig. The old men shouted :
"Take the email one !"
"Let him squeal," said George ; "I can
hold him."
OM man excited:
"Take the small one!"
"I'll risk his biting," replied George.
Old men, des1)era'3e-, and as loud as he
could bellow:
"Take the small one !"
"Let him squeal ; I can hold him," an-
swered George.
"Take him along, you deaf cuss; 1 can't
make yon hear anything.'!
George carried oft his pig in triumph.
WHAT It4 DEATH 7—A Lend 11 journal
commenting on the Traupman lexecution,
raises the query as to whether 'tlie severed
head retains consciousness. and says :—The
execution in -Paris has revived the old ques-
tion as to whether death instantainously fol -
()WS upon the severance of the head 'from
the body. In a letter to Gerdois, Dr Pi -
nal asserts that decapitation does not im-
mediately affect the brain. The blood which
flows after decapitation comes from the
neck, 'and there is hardly any call upon the
circulation of the cranium. The brain re-
mains intact, nourishing itself with the
blood retained by the pressute of the • air.
When the blood remaining iu the heacl at
the moment of seperiation is exhausted there
commences a state, not of death, but ()fin-
. .
feria, which lasts up to the moment when
the oreran, DO longer feels, ceases to exist.
_Dr. Pinel estimates' that the brain finds
nourishment in the residuary blood for a-
hout an hour aftler decapitation. The
peried of interia would last for about two
hours, and abeolute death 'would not ensue
until after the space of three hours alto-
gether. If, he addl, a bodiless head indi-
cates by no movement the horror of its
. • i • • •
situation, t is because it is so tliysically
impossible that if"- should -be so, all the
•
nerves which serve for the transmission of
orders from the brain to the trunk being
severed. But there rethain the nerves of
hearing, of smell, and of sight.
