A jirl named Vanderhoff died suddenly last night frota the effects of poison, but whether administered by herEe t or some one else, is not yet ascertained.

Paul Pioneer, dated the 15th cf November, says that the French halfbreeds, who have possession of Fort Garry, were to have a convention next day, and the English peopla who are friendly were invited to be present by delegates, for the purpose of taking ioto consideration the . present condition of the country, and to adopt such measures as may be deemed for the welfare of tbe people. It was believed that nothing would be acreed upon. In tbe meantime the French half-breeds are masters of the Bitua tion. They are more-numerous than all the others combined, and have members of more than ordinary ability. The following propositions will come before the convention: 1. Compromise with McDouga'l. 2. 3. 4. 5. Independent Republic. Annexation. A colony under Envland. A return to tho Hudson Bay Company's rule. The English and Scotch would probably unite with the French half breeds iu establishing colony under England, while tho French halfbi'eeds at present seem -determined to hive a separate government or annexalioa to tha United States; or, as a last resort, a compromise with McD.vugall.

Chales Moran represented tbe European bondholders. - A meeting of a committee from the counties sloog the proposed line of the Columbus and Maysville Rbid, in conjunction with the incorporators of the same, was held at the Burnet House th;s afternoon and in the evening. The latter meeting conferred with President I Jewett, of tho PanHandle, with a hope of the assurance that the Pennsylvania Central would iron and stock , the ' road, if the people would grade it. Jewett assured a favorable co operation, but declined definite . pledges for the present, owitg to the large schemes on hand, of the Pennsylvania Central, till Spring.

Asbury shot aud killed William Raynoias, wuo naa interfered tweeQ A.bury and yeuog B The de3ett8ed beloved to ( noius, wuo Had interfered in the attle) beReynolds. nired to tho firm of Reynolds, Powell & Co., Augusta. All the parties were respectable. Oa the Bible Question, in the Su perior Court, George R. Sage epoke. His argument was. that the Constitn. tion declares religion essential to good government, and that was the tiist reason assigned from the establish ment ot the common schools. The religion meant by the Constitution is religion of the Bible. No other religion can be observed in Ohio without violation of the statute law. Constitutional recognition is recognition of its truth and divinity ot religion the great conservative element of society, and gives the law, the majesty of powtrand the highest authority of our Government, bound by a regard for our own t afety and welfare, to furnish thojo who are to become its citizens such instruction in the elemen'ary truths of religion as can be imparted without inter. ericg with our rights of the conscious reading of the Bible without note or comment, conveys elemental truths, and leaves individuals free to choose as to their doctrines. Tbe defendants admit that religions struction is indispensable to make cuimrea goou cuizens that a large number would tot receive "it except in the pubiio 6choo!.?. ' The Board of Education have no right to omit this instruction on account of prejudices, sectarianism, of rights of conscience defined by the Constitution, and by the histcry and policy of the State, cot by the whim or caprice of tbe citizen. First, the right of conscienca is that all sources of information shall bo open and free to every man, woman and child. It is a dogma of de-potietn, notthe doctrine of liberty, that one view alone of religion shall b3 .given to the child? Who is to exercise this right of conscience for self-objectors? Their rights of conscienco are fully protected by the rule of the schools excusiug their children from all religious instruction in the school. Mr. Saga concluded in the afternoon, having fpoken for four and a half hours. Judge Stanley Matthews, who 13 an Elder of the Presbyterian Church, followed for the defendants. He said his appearance cost him a severe mental effort. Except tho loss ot his dear children, it was the most painful experience of his life. He was assailed, not by enemies, but by friends. He was charged with opposition to the Bible and loss of his Christian reputation, yet he considcr jd it his duty to appear. He deprecated this discussion as looking to the tracfer of a religious contest to political parties. He thought, the whole contest was over a small matter. Reading the Bible would not do one tithe the harm that would result from a violation cf conscience by enforcing the old rule. He charged the Counsel with insisting upon the establishment of the Protestant religion by the State. He read a communication to the New York Independent, by Rev. - W. H. Bellow, which he character. zed as sound, and nothing else. He discussed this question, and warned the Catholics that civil war would result if they pushed their p'ans for the destruction of the publij schools. He said every word of that letier was contained in the argument oi the counsel on tho other side. The Court adjourned before his argument was concluded. The court-room was crowded with ladies and principal citizens. tacers Elected. Philadelphia, December 1 Tho following officers were elected by the R. W.
