PITTSBURGH, April following orders of general interest in the State of Pennsylvania have just been issued from the headquarters of the Grand Army of the Republic, No. 198 Pean avenue, in this city. General Order o. 4: I. The attention of the department is called to the following law, passed at the last session of the State Legislature, and approved March 18, 1875: SECTION 1.

Be it enacted by the Senate aud House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, That the proviso in section one of an act (-nulled "An act to provide far the education and maintenance of the destitute orphans of deceased soldiers and sailor, and the destitute childeren of permanently disabled soldiers and sailors of the approved the 15th day of May, Anno Domini one thou S'ind eight hundred and seveuiy-four. be the is hereby repealed, and from aud after the pjis.snge or' this act die said section rer.d as follows: Tnat all the children of deceased sol dic-rs, who were formerly residents of this State, and enlisted into the service of the United States in regiments belonging to other States, and died in said service, such children, now residents of this State, and the children of deceased destitute, or permanently dis abled soldiers or sailors, whether born after or before January first, one thou s.itid eight hundred and sixty six. shall be admitted into the Soldiers' Orphans' Schools on the same conditions as the deceasnd soldiers and sailors are now It will be observed that this authorize- the admission iuto our Soldiers' Orphan's Schools of the children of those deceased soldiers who were residents of this State, but served in organizations of other States; provided that the children are now residents of Pennsylvania; also, that the children of deceased, destitute, or permanently dis abled soldiers, who were born after January 1, 1866. may now be admitted without limitation as to number. There are a large number of children of both of these classes who were, under the old law, debarred admission, and who now should be placed in the schools.

The Department Commander trusts that these cases will receive the careful attention of the comrades. II. There will be discharged this year from the soldiers' orphan schools of the State 527 children, who have reached the maximum years. These children, boys and girla, must bo provided with employment. It is earnestly hoped that all comrades will interest themselves in this matter, and formed at all, by other who were not participants with us in the war for the Union and if we would have them continued, and the lessons of'the war kept fresh in the minds of those who follow us, we must secure a more general participation in the observance of Memorial day by the whole people, old and young.

And as we scatter emblems of love on the graves of those who fought with us, let us not forget to drop a flower and a tear on the graves of those brave men, who, honest in the truth and justice of their cause, fought against us. The comrades are earnestly requested to discountenance the growing tendency to make Memorial day a time of pleasure aud dissipation. Of all our public days this should certainly be the the most be observed in solemnity and decorum. The law of Pennsylvania making Memorial day a legal holiday provides that when the 30th of May falls on Sunday, the preceeding day shall be observed, consequently par. general order C.

from National Headquarters, will not apply to this department. The Department Commander fully appro elates the weight of some of the argument made to him in favor of observ ing Monday, the 31st, ns Memorial day. but he is without discretion in the matter, and must administer the rules and re he finds them. By order of W. W.

At this time the church was a level sea ot heads from right and left, from the sanctuary to the doors.

The right, left and center aisles of the church were packed as full as they could hold with people who were glad to have standing room. When the bell tinkled to announce the opening of the canon or solemn part of the ceremony, the people standing made an attempt to kneel, but were unable to do so, they were massed so tightly together, and a very u-nusual spectacle was witnessed of hundreds standing up during the consecration.

III.The delegates to the National Encampment, which will meet in Chicago, May 12th, ure requested to advise the Assistant Adjutant General whether or not they will attend.

This necessary, in order that alternates may be advised of any vacancies that they may have to fill. Very extensive preparations are being made by the local committee in Chicago for a large re-union, as it is hoped that as many comrades, in addition to the delegates, will attend from this department as possible. A circular giving information as to rates of fare, is sent to posts with this order. IV.

5: The 30th of May falling on Sunday Conferring of the Berrata. Thousands cf spectators gathered at St. Patrick's Cathedral this a. to witness the ceremony ofconierring the Berrata on Cardinal MeCloskey. There had been an enormous demand for tickets, and a number of those who had them fouud difficulty in gaining entrance through the crowd.

The streets iu the immediate neighborhood were packed with human beings, all anxious to even get a chance of seeing the portals ot the church. Great interest is manifested Representatives from every part of the Union wore present. A number of front seats were reserved for the invit ed guests, and among those seated in them were Chief Justice Daly, Judge Donohue, District Attorney Pbelps. Sinclair Tousey, Collector Arthur, Hon Thos. Murphy, and many other well- known citizens.

At twenty minutes to eleven o'clock the head of the procession emerged from the vestry, the Acoylites leading, bearing in the procession the cross and tall tapers then followed long lines of clergymen, who, after making genuflections before the high altar, passed down the center aisle, which was soon packed. When the surpliced priests had all taken their places the representatives of the various religious orders in the diocese began to emerge from the vestry in their picturesque habits. When the procession had all been arranged in roper place there was an interval of ten And in sh of thrt at nil hours I this year.

Highest cash price paid minutes, during which the churoh was filled with joyous music from the choir. The procession of prelates at length emerged from the vestry with slow, measured tread. The audience rose aa the magnificent spectacle begun to unfold itself. The scene was one which New York will probably never again witness. Boys with pictures, robes, and swinging censors and dignitaries in dark pie preceded the Archbiihops and Bishops.

The procession waa dosed by the brants of mass, Bishop Laughlin, of Brooklyn, Rev. Dr. McGlynu, assistant; Rev. Father McGran, deacon, and Father Kean, sub-deacon, then Cardinal Me- Closkey, the Papal envoys, Dr. Ulbadi, Monsignor Roncetti, aud lastly the tail figure of Count Marafacai, of the Pope's noble guard, in his dazzling uniform.

Cardinal MeCloskey wearing his rochet, purple cassock, and mantaletta, knelt at the epistle side of the altar. The Archbishop of Baltimore sal on his throne on the same side. The officiating bishop and clergymen stood at the altar steps, and mass was commenced at the confiteor. The Cardinal stood up and proceeded to his throne on the gospel side. He, alone of all the prelates present, having a pastoral staff, which was carried by an assistant officiating Bishop.

After incensing the altar three times he sat down with the Deacon and sub-Deacon. Bishop Laughlin read the Introit, recited the Kyrie, and intoned the Gloria in Excelsis, which was afterwards sung the end of the mass was introduced the curious ceremony of giving the pax, er Kiss of Peace- It is not exactly a kiss, but. an inclination of the heads- together, with hands resting on each other's arms. The pax was given from one to the other, until it passed along to the right aud left all through the crowded sanctu ary. When mass was finished, the iu leresting part of the ceremonies com- uierict d.

Cardinal MeCloskey rose and knelt, at the left hand side of the altar. The Archbishop of Baltimore stepped down from his throne and knelt at the epistle side. The audience rose with perceptible excitement, and some had thu bad taste to ernvd up amongst the clergymen in the sanctuary. Ab Legate Ronetta stood beside Archbishop Bayluy, and in a lond, clear voice read th message in Latin from Pius Papa, to his Venerabilis Frater, Archbishop of Baltimore, giving the reasons which induced him to confer the Cardinilate on Archbishop MeCloskey, and, at the close, handed him the brief authorizing him to confer the Berrata on this new appointed prince of the church. The Archbishop having replied in Latin, passed the brief over to Father McLean, Deacon of the mass, who then read it.

Count Marifacai then surrendered the Berrata to Mousignor Ronetta who handed it to Archbishop Bayley, who then walked over to the Cardinal and placed the cap on his head, at the same time addressing him in Latin Euientenia Tua. The Cardinal made also a suitable reply iu Latin, and after intoning the Te Deum retired to the vestry and put on the crimson robes of office, and returned to the altar, while the choir sang theTs Deum. At the close of the hymn tlie Cardinal gave the pontificial benediction and the ceremonies were ended, and the vast congregation passed out of the Ca thedral. Now Loctor, we think that every Methodist iaithis county ought to feel a deep interest in. this enterprise.

Here they come to attend the sessions of the county Court. Here other denominations have goodiy church edifices, (wh.ch is all right.) But Methodism ought to be seen as well as felt in thissounty. Again every M. E. church in this county has received more or less from the mem bership of this place.

And now in their united efforts to put up grand, good and beautiful church, they will ask for and expect to receive assistance from without. First, however, everv one here expects to do his whole duty. If it is true that rhe Lord heips those who help theuisehes and I thick it is. the present Conference year ought to be a successful one, for the people tavea mind to work. May the great Captain take us bjs the liand ia this work aud lead his people on to victory.

We clip the iollowing from the Pitta- burgh "Obristiat Advocate:" IMMANA, PA, Rev J. A Danks, pastor. We are glad to hear that the good people of Indiana are thinking of building a house for the lord, and are devising liberal things concerning it. They have already about $5,000 subscribed, and hope to get about that much more within themselves and their church organization. It is said of the Indiana people as Paul said of sister Phoebe that ''ahe bath been a succorer of many" i e.

in the way of church building, especially in the county, and they may need a little help from their friends in. the county in this emergency, which we hope will be cheerfully awarded to them. They want to build a neat and commodious church, such as ought to be found at the seat of justice of a flourishing county. Let all our friends throughout the county prepare to lend them a helping hand, for the house will in a certain sense belong to all of them. They will want to worship there sometimes, when they go to the county seat on busi ness.

Since received Danks: INDIANA, writing the above have the following from brother the hill tops are white with snow and the northwest wind howls furiously, we are hap- by in the thought that cold, bleak winter is rapidly passing away, and summer sweets will soon come again. Very much li ke this iu our religious status in this town. For many years Methodism has been suffering (i a winter af discontent," which now promises to be made glorious by the coming of Bummer. Without intending to complain of the Fathers, it does Lack as if tbey desired to be "little and unknown," and therefere they erected a little church in a out-of the-way-place, which never was calculated for teaching old-fashioned Methodism IB. But in it they ami their children have worshiped and worked for the Master, all the while in a terrible sense thafc their wore tied.

But noWjthunkGod. the spell is broken. The winter is passing away. The people have determined on a united effort for erection of a new M. K.

church. A site, beautiful for situation, haa been secured, plan and adopted which will give them, whou prepared the vessels and bread completed, a religious honr.e ol'architeot- uiid wine. Mercandants Quam DilesU ural beauty and convenience; aud repre was during thin period, Awl- sent Methodism in Conference. April forenoon Canstable Michael went tc- Plymooth township to-levy upon the of James Connell. Being resisted, he returned for assistance.

Poliiv officer lleibseuner went with him, and they found that the Cnnneil connection, comprising ten or a dozen men. had assembled in one houee and barricaded it. As tho officers approached they we fired upon. Jjteibsenner receiving balls. Casey was also shot.

Reibsennor was brought to this city, where he dying. Casey is yet in Plymouth'and in a very critical con dition. The news of the affair created intense excitement here, and Sheriff Kirkendall at once collecHerl a with rines. and went, to the scene of the-shootjng. Two of the Coanells were arrested, and the others, it i.s thought, cauirot; escape.

The Sheriff and'posse returned this evening with the old man Council, and three more of his Lawerence aud Thomas. The posse numbered about hundred men; all armed with carbines and muskets. They surrounded the house, and Daputy Sheriff llhoau's and Chief of Poliece approached it and demanded the surrender of the Connelis. They refused, and the old man threatened to shoot any person who approat-bed with hostile intent. Three men were then plased at the rear window to caver Connell 'while an attempt was uiude to break ia the front door, which was- heavily, barricaded.

Several volleys were firf-cl from the in- wde while tiis was place, but no one was hit. Everything being in readiness, the door was battered dowa and a portion of th'eppsse rushed.in and over- powred the Gonnells before any of them had tizue to fire, except the father, and his shot did not affect. They all fought desperately, but without avail, aud finally, handcuffed and: brought hero.
