Isqiirer. The article ptihlisbsd In TriB on Wednesday morning, aiming the X'W Jersey Hems," eutitled "Tbe Arson Trials in Camden," hascreated such painful feelings iu the minds oi the best citizens ot Caui-dein, that I must ask your indulgence for a little space in your columns to deny being the author of the paragraph alluded lo, and to give an unbiassed statement of the fuels in tlie case, hoping to allay, if possible, some of the pangs which the article in ouestiou gave 10 the relatives and friends of Ihe accused. On the nf Moy, lSfij, about nine o'clock In the evening, the barn ol Hatch, at Cooper's Point, was burned. About the 1st i June Iniitiwlt.g. John Beck was arrested on the charm-of having perpetrated that act of inctndiarism.

He was tried, and the jury disagreed. The case went over to the next term, when he was again tried, and tbe evidence was so strong that lie was convicted. This convict was Uteu shielded from sentence by the prosecutor, Mr. Jenkins, in order to use Mm as a witness against others whom he said he would implicate, if his sentence could he mitigated in anv wav. He then implicated Jacob Fredericks, Kphraim Kimble ami Robert S.

Belisle, three young men, against whom Peck had a strong antagonistic feeling, and was never on terms of confidence. Iu the beginning of February last, on the statement of Beck, these boys were arrested, and held to answer at Court by Justice James M. Cassady, who is the prosecutor's assisiant. At the May term their trials came up. Jacob Fredericks was ttie first called, and afier examining about thirty-six witnesses, whose lestiinony could not have been more adverse to the prosecution, strange to say, he was found guilty; but, the Court deeming the evidence liisulhcient convict, granted hint a new trial.

Tho next case wss Lphraini Kimble, nn three indictments. On the first, contrary tn the evidence, he wus convicted, and, in consequence of this, the Court granted bim a new trial. These are the two cases of "conviction" boasted of iu the article In Thk IxqriRKR of Wednesday. On the second indictment, Kimble wss acquitted: and, on the third, Ihe jury disagreed. The case of Robert S.

Belisle was thoroughly investigated, and, as I said i.i a former paragraph, the prosecutor, with ail the Z'-al of an anient temperament, backed up by tho astuteness of his assistant, despite the appliances lie brought to bear, fuittti to cou vict, aud the Juryuc-quitied the accused. These are the simple and truthful facts connected with these cases. That the prosecutor has succeeded in convicting the man in John Beck is demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt, not only by lue evidence, but by his own confession: but lliat'these boys are guilty of the crime of being accomplices with him. three-fourths ol an intelligent community do not believe. And no person iu Camden would do more to bring inceudiark'S to fustic than tlie parents of these very buys, eveu if It loll on their own children, if ihey are shown to be guilty.

The writer of tins has never impugned the motives of the prosecutor. He did the best he could In a bud cause. D. W. BbiLlSLK Home for Friendless Children.

Kon-offlclatlng Clergy. Faculty. Trustee ami Overseer. Officiating Clergy. Bishops Lee and Payne.

The officiating services of tbe day were by tbe Right Rev. Bishop Lee, of Delaware. President of the Hoard of Overseers, assisted by Kiglst Kev. Bishop Payne, of Africa: Jlev. Dr.

Newton, Rev. Dr. Watson, Rev. Dr. Morion, Rev.

Dr. Howe and Rev. Mr. Mallnck. Members of the Divinity School officiated as an amateur choir; Mr.

Georg AVoolsey llodge acted as organist. Tbe morning prayers were followed by a sermon to the graduating class, preached by the Rev. John P. Stone, D. D.

His text was Ac xx: 27: "Wherefore I take you to record ibis day, that I am pure from ibe blood of nil mam. "For 1 have not shuuned to declare onto von all th couusol of Hod." The discourse was a nrnfrmnri anil walphtv nna and to It an abstract can do only partial Justice. Dr. tSlone relerred, in opening, to the sitting evidence thai hu Paul bad lelt of being impressed with tho great responsibilities eitendant upon Uie Christian ministry. The preacher commenced by Buying that it was impossible to read the teachings ot rit.

Paul without be ing impressed with the gr.ive responsibilities attend- aui upon i tie ixiiaii ministry, bt. Pan! looked upon it as a task imposed upon bim which hvcouttl not neaiect. lie believed tbat through the strength of Christ be could deal with the weltare of souls without being guilty of the blood ol souls. When lie looked back upon his niiuistry, he could say tbat be waa hot thns guilty. The li of the body 1s light when compared to tbe life of the soul, the former being comparatively a cipher, the latter impnrling to it lis mystery, and making it sacred in tbe eye ot uod.

Hence the greater enormity of the crime of him who is guilty of taking Hie life of the soul. It is a tearlul otlense merely to amuse the susil committed to one's charue. Hut Paul waa able to Kay thai the blood of no soul stained the garment ot his ministry. Happy Paul who at theclosoof his career, and by the aideothis martyr grave, could lay claim to this! His emotions, whou caught up Into the third heaven, could not have been as sublime and as precious as when he made this claim to tbe elders ol Kphesus. He stood among them the most sablime example ever seen ot a hi am I ess minister of the Word of nod.

The radiance or the beaveuly (lory waa then already sliluing about bun. 1 1 becomes a grave question as to how the apostle was thus enabled to deal with the welfare of aouls without oe.iug guilty of the blood ol souls. It was bv making full proof of his ministry to those among bom be labored. He at uu times and ou all occasions declared the whole counsel of Hod. To understand this is th great duty ot tbe Christian minister.

Hi whole counsel embraces all the objects ol his care, it is one counsel emiinia ng infinity, it is us the outgoing light which floods all space with its brightness. What we need especiujly to know Is the great central sun or source of this light. This whole counsel of Hod embraces particularly the salvation of souls and the mean by which It is to be accomplished. Repentance towards God and faith towards our Lord Josus Christ is the grand obje to be obtained In declaring this counsel. Paul counted not his liledear to himself.

so that be might iulllll lit whole duty in this declaration. Rut this counsel is not confined to the days tn which the Apostles lived. It bus gone down through tbe age; God Is the same in history as In revelations. The i1h business of man in this day Is to discover hi what ibis counsel or consists. We have nought to do with anylning else, save as II alos us In learning aud der.tariug this counsel of the living Mod.

All Jl in movements in the ages throw light upon tills great counsel of redemption. Nothing but a knowledge and experience ot its Importance to the minister of Ood, all things eh being secondary and tributary to it, Tbe declaration of this whole counsel of iod involves something more than uttering it Irom the lips, word tor word. Such utterances may be worthless as a pautoniimf, simply because the life and power or God's counsel ar not in them. This life and power must he In the minister before lie can lulorco it iip'Hi thu people. The gilt must so ssize and energize him lhal he cannot contain It nent up within himself.

It culls not only for words, but uituh, aim, Bnwiutci win nuueriiipr.i,. Jt cans lor a man is filled with a reaic.ation of the truth ol theti iboel which he preaches. a man alone can, ns t-l. 1'ani ma, turn the world upside down. 1 lie true one.

'the minuter oi woo must ui every wav hold uu this Cross of Christ as the sole bo)e ol the world. Dr. Stone reterved at length to the ills and sacrifices which attend this hearty declaration of th whole counsel or (iod, giving a vivid sketch at the labors upon winch the young men betort liim were about to uter, bv the discharge of which alone could tbeyhope to avoid' the blood-guHtiness or the soul.

The Great Fair at the Assembly Buildings In aid of the new Baptist Church now being erected In that delight, ful suburb of Philadelphia, Oermantown, is, talcing all things Into consideration, a most astonishing success. We opine that Messrs.

Charles H. Curnmings, President of the Corn Kxchsnge, Peter B. and Geo. Nugent, th Building Committee of the new church who are the fathers of the fair, bava cnuse to regret that the Academy of Music, or some other ball of spa clous proportions was. not selected for tbe occasion The groat succtss attending the present fair would certainly warrant another one with the same object in view, at no distant day, and on, if not a more brilliant, at least much larger scale.

Last nigbt the scene at the Assembly Buildings baf fled description. Th well-stocked and trl-colored canopied tables, th brilliant assemblage of benuuiul ladles and well-dressed gentlemen, and the life, animation and Jnyousness that characterized the entire scene contributed to form an nuemlile ol surpassing beauty and pleasurable sensations. At either end of the hall were grouped under the protecting shadows ot the American flag crowds or refreshment partakers, of both sexes, waited nn not by hireling attendants, but rosy-raced young damsels, of the highest respectability, whose fair bauds furnish whatever is called for in the shape ot ice creams, cakes, lemonades and kindred delicacies. Other young ladies flit hither and thither through tbe mazy throng, and wit bewitching opportuneness solicit subscriptions to acnsKet nf bon-bons, a silver ornament, or some other article of similar character, the sale of which will add so much more to the clmrch fund. Kright eyed ladies are busily encaged ill descanting on the merit of the various goods thov have for sale, and everything connected with the Fair roes on as "merry as a marriage hell." On Tuesday even ing next a grand concert will clos th festivities, at which will appear a number of our most nromiueut musical artists.

The scruple was in reference to turning the lower buov. The lower Judges decided that the Vr'ilo turned the buoy from the west lo tho east, which was against the regulations, and the Hr.uii. turned the buoy from east to west, and consequently Is entitled to the second prize. Mr.

Risley, on aceonnt of this scruple, as there was a misuudersiandiug in reference to turn-ins the buoy, presented each of the two last named boats with a prize. The winner of the third class, which was the Xo. Captain C. Airey, was entitled to ttie best priz or her class, whicii was a silver pitcher.
