Thrown Out of Court.

Lafayette Courier. The much advertised case against the eloquent young priest Rerr Dominick Shunk, pastor of the church of the Most Precious Blood, at Wanatah, has at last received a termination which will meet with popular approval . Father Shunk was arrested at Wanatah in May for illegal use of the United States Mails, by Inspector Letherman. He was arraigned before United States Commissioner Severson, in this city, and bound over to the grand jury, which returned an indictment against him . When the matter came before Judge Woods the animus of the charge was shown to be malicious, and Rev. Shunk was promptly discharged. Geo. P. Haywood, of this city, was his attorney.
