When I add. that connected with tne Bergen mission, another church is already roofed ip, at Corfu, and a flourishing congregation gathered, you. will feel that the work in Genesee county is vigorously carried forward. Let me add that 1 expect to consecrate the large and beautiful church at Niagara Falls in a few weeks, and another at Lancaster, very soon. The mission chapel 6f St.

Thomas, in St. James's parish, Buffalo, is a valuable result of pastoral energy. AH Saints, in Buffalo, it also in progress of erection, and the new church in Rochester, which is to give a fresh start to Trinity parish, is nearly ready lor use. It is a very creditable substitute for tie old building, which the encroachments of the 'railway bad long threatened with destruction. At Hartfield, near Mayville.

But are yon sufficiently aware of the enemies which are at work to disorganize the family and to make Christian training almost impossible? From France come our fashions, and the power df fashion to corrupt good manners" ts too Uttle accounted of. Under Louis Philippe, perhaps, all things considered, the best King that ever ruled in France, there was a comparatively virtuous court, and modesty and decency were conspicuous in the prevailing modes. But the Second Empire contaminated everything, and since the breaking np of that court fashions and manners have been controlled by what is called tbe demi-monde. Christian women, unsuspectingly, wear tbe raiment fashioned by the loose women of Paris; tasteless, indecent, and fit only for the Jezebels that have invented it, it appears everywhere, and sadly affects feminine character, even when it influence is nnimagined. Tbe maiden' blush is becoming obsolete; a staring impudence disfigures many a countenance that is, after all.

innocent of conscious impropriety. At the tame time, mothers take their daughters to spectacles of unchaste women, at the. theatres, such as, only a few years ago, would have been checked by the police. Tbe pictorial advertisements that disgrace our streets and highways are enough to debauch the moral of town and country; and, all this goes on before our eyes, unrebuked, innumerable forces of evil arc at work to render society dissolute and evei to overthrow its foundations. While one intrepid citizen, known to me only by name, has pursued and defeated the publishers and venders of filthy books and engravings; with a perseverance and success- worthy of all praise, few have seconded aisf efforts, and now public meetings are called and somewhat largely patronized, to protest against the laws by which he has been able to prosecute the villains to! whose loathe-some activities I have referred.

Brethren, the man who does anything to corrupt the young especially in "such a country as ours, is a fiend in human shape. nation must rest on its homes, its 1 families, its growing progeny. My object' if this appeal is to turn the labor of reverenfl pastois and the corresponding support of all good men to fresh and I untiring efforts in behalf of Christian nurture and the maintenance of the Christian Family. The corruptions of our times cannot be observed ithout alarm. Monstrous divorces and monstrous.

marriages; suicides, murders and scandalous law-Suits growing out of unblessed domestic things and others not to be mentioned are the staple of our daily news. And what is the pulpit doing to alarm consciences and to bring up the minds of pious people to the standard of the Catechism and the prayer book, which is the standard of the Holy Scriptures, reduced to tbe laws of daily life? To be preaching on abstract and secondary matters, amid th perils which threaten our vitals, -is like sprinkling rose water upon a sewer to cleanse the air of a filthy city. Tbe times demand organizations, efforts, examples. The drill our church system is unspeakably precious, and if thoroughly worked, its mirpass-ing advantages would be generally recognized by our countrymen. For your filar and your fires, then, 1 urge you to systematic efforts to improve the public morals.

Begin by teaching our own people that the baptismal office and, the whole prayer-book, demand a church in evttry house, to SEAL SACQUES HADE TO ORDER.

Not a solitary arrival was reported during the and Lake'Superior Transit Company propeller and the Detroit River tug Gladiator constituted tae sum total of arrivals during the day. The harbor if anything presented a more deserted appearance than on the day, and a general grumble al having to do was heard from all hands along the wharves. The weather was fine and considerably warmer, with a light breeze from the east in the forenoon, which veered to the west n(J southwest in the afternoon, with indications to-day of light southwest to northwest winds, with fine and warm weather.

Owing to the scarcity of vessels coal freights continue dull, with no charters to report.

The New- York Sun of yesterday say: "A young lady, 3o years bf ae, ihe daughter of wealthy parents residing in this city, disappeared from her home yesterday afternoon, and fears are entertained that she has done so for the purpose of committing suicide. She left: a letter addressed to her -parents, in which she wrote that she is heartbroken, weary of lile, and determined to put an end to tier misery.

A General alarm was tele. graphed late last night to all the police precincts the city, and a despatch was sent to the police Niagara, warning them to look out for the young woman.

Reverend Bishop Coxe to the forty-third annual Council of the Diocese of Western New-York, held this week at Geneva: My Reverend Brethren and Brethren of the Laity: The true spirit and drift, of any age are almost always imperceptible to those who live in it and take their impressions from their own surroundings. So, in battles, the soldiers know little of the whoie field, and accept ideas from 'their own little compa- 1 bey are often surpru-sed when a retreat is sounded; quite a often when a note of victory call to pursuit.

Let us reflect, then, that it is our business to do our personal duty, each in his own sta tion. ne rest let us leave to oar oreat captain. He will give triumph to truth and right in His own good time. we do not deserve a share of it, I fear, but let us each be anxious about his own soul and the good of his neighbors and leave the rest to God. I say this because I am unwilling to open a Diocesan Council with other than a true sense of its character and importance.

However- poer and mean in the sipht of men. it is nart at His work out of whose filial obscurity in tbe carpenter-shop of Nazareth came forth the powers that must regenerate depraved human nature and new-creaite the universe. Doubtless nothing seemed to be ooir.g, wmie tor thirty years the child and Man Christ Jesus was called a Nazarene, but nothing worth doing has ever been done since in human history of which that bidden life was not tbe spring. Let us not be discouraged, then, when we meet, without human, observation, but under the authority ot Christ, and in tbe power of his spirit. The coun cils of the wicked and their noisy pretensions come to what, we do shall shall stand forever, Only, let us have a holy awe, in attempting any thing for such a Master.

Nobody has a right here who feels not tbe solemnity and dignity of a coun cil which has been placed, by prayer, under the of tne tipiy unost. I All around us the land is in a ferment of political rivalries. All here should becalm and peaceful. Some of you are of one party, wme of another, You have, also, relations with human societies and organizations which intetest you. But none of these associations must intrude, here.

This is Council of Christians. And this leads me to sav, at the outset, that there is a temptation even in tiur Councils to. act tn a worldly spirit whenever im portant elections take place. 1 he choice ot depu ties to our Genera Convention necessarily calls lortn some competition anu excitement among voters; but, let all men see how Christians can con. trol themselves at such times, "in honor preferring one another.

1 use the artifices ot politics managers here, in a council of the church, is sacri lege. To employ such instrumentalities in solicit ing Votes is insulting. We are watched by a hostile world, and, also, by good and pure mirlded men. we are; a city set upon a bill, and, in! sued mat ters, our example is felt and quoted. I leave in your conscientious' keeping the good name and tried character of this diocese.

May it never cease to act, in all elections, as it did Under my venerated predecessor, when I was called to be his aid and his successor. It was a very solemn election; no nominations; no excitement; the first ballot decided tlhe event, to me so surprising and so full of import, When I go tbe way of all the earth, may my sue- cessor be chosen, in like manner; soberly, religiously, with silence, and with prayer so persevering that there shall be no room for controversies, much less for passion and indecent strife. A year of great mercies has just ended, and Ihe diocese has seen growth and gain in its spiritual harvest. Nevertheless, let us not close our eyes to tbe fact that, our rural districts are constantly suffering by the drain of population into cities and into the great west, bo we lose our younp men. Our missionary dioceses reap the benefit.

A 'dio cese like this must struggle even to maintain itself, It commands no sympathy like the Western dioceses. We cannot beg for our Institutions in the large cities with any show of propriety; outside help must be exceptional. But on this account we have noih ing to regret. Wealth is multiplied among us; and this diocese only Tieeds to learn gratitude to liod. to take care of itself, nobly aud generously.

This year is marked by much to eneourage us in the way of increase to our funded resources. Also in the building and improving of churches much has been do'ne, of which I shall say more by and by; but alas! for the frightful niggardliness that still exists in nn.rt.N Nf 'mK flnA nH i-Vi i themselves in doing so; they rob themselves of His favor that giveth life they shorten the rlaysiof their selfish and sordid stewardship: they load their estates with a cuxsc; they leave unblessed property to their heirs. Unthtitt and prodigality follow it like an entail. In the next generation how often is their candle put oat and Ibeir seed seen begging thei bread. Wo! to the house that is builded while God's house liethastet wo! to the fortune that goes, unpunfied by alms, and loaded- with the divine displeasure to a generation that accept it, with all its guilty increase, and with no spirit to cleanse the inheritance by rendering the Lord por tion back to lis service.

Now let me praise better men and -such as have served Ood in their generation as sucli. We have lost not a few, both men and women Christ-loving little children. Their names' are, so many as to render it unwise for me to attempt to give a full list. I Only name four who have been prominent members of this Council. Mr.

s. Clark; ot Ascension church, lay sick while our Council, to which he was a delegate, was in sessipn in that city a year ago. Uur prayers were daily- offered in his behalf, and I trust they were heard for his soul's good. But he died very soon afterwards, generally lamented by bis fellow. citizens and especially by those with whom he was associated in the work ot a growing parish.

Mr. A. P. Nichols was a conspicuous member ot our last Council, and his services in the corporation of De Veaux College have been: many and untiring. the Vestry of Christ Buffalo, lament bis loss as that of their must active and zealous asso-' ciale.

Mr. W. S. Stow, of Clyde, has been known to you all as a veteran in their council, to which for nearly thirty yea's he had rendered important ser vices, and whicn tor. twenty-nve years, consecu tively, I believe, he has never failed to be present He was a good man; ana lull or years and ot cretnt among brethren and neighbors, he has been gath-erad to his fathers.

To the little parish in Clyde the loss is irreparable. God raised up others to follow his example. The whole diocese feels keenly the decease of W. Parshall. As a member of ihis Council and of the great council of our church.

he will be greatly missed. To me, tbe loss of such a dear personal tnend and kindly helper is one 1 can not trust myself to Among the foremost of those who have never refused me a helping band and to whom under uod 1 have owed the most encouraging aid, in trying circumstances, was this dear How tnougnttul he was tor others. every missionary of the diocese in some degree can testify. As a benefactor and Trustee of llobart College his gifts were large and bis work zealous. His bounty to necessitous students was a continual stream.

With only forty-hve minutes of suffering he was called away; but I believe be lived always ready to be called. I will say no more; but I pnay God that his example may stimulate others to work while the day lasts; so soon cometh the night when no man can work. I 1 nese renections nave not ceen out ot place as an introduction to my annual statement of personal labors, and of the visible fruits of the work of clergy and Lafty in the diocese. Let me only add that no bishop can accomplish anything save by the zealous co-operation of a Whole diocese. Where his toils are neutralized by an unreflecting opposition; where everything is thrown upon hrs anils, with manv to censure and none to helo: where lav ing and unselfish.

efforts are ascribed to personal uiuiivc, such ucver oucc ana where the candid and generous interpretation to which he is always entitled, unless Ac contrary can be demonstrated, is not only withheld but remorselv reversed with regardito every judicial- act and conscientious decision, what can a faithful steward do but look up to God and toil on apparently in vain? lo some little extent such questions are not irrele vant, even in western in They areiof course a praise to those who do well." God loves those who, on the contrary, prefer to imitate Gatus and Philemon in lightening apostolic burdens; and great' shall be their reward. A summary oi my year worit is as follows: There have been Pastoral visitations. Academic visitations. Convocations Churches consecrated hurial-plots, Cornerstones laid 'i here have been ordained -744 6o 7 6 a 4 Deacons. rrdoyten There have been 1- i There have been transferred -s 7.

We have, (some hot formally admitted) postu- lants and candidates to The total number of the Clergy, including, the Bishop, is Several vacant parishes, soon to be supplied, may aua to tne numoets considerably before our Journal is published. 1 wish to say, in passing, that 'very valuable clergymen have offered me their services, during the past year; but the insufficient salaries proposed by parishes have made it. impossible: for me to secure them, save in exceptional cases, where brethren have been willing to work, at a sacrifice to themselves and their families, such as Christians ought not to exact of anybody. You are aware of the fact that I was visited by a severe illness -last winter, from which I was long in' recovering, partly because I was forced to resume work before was' well enough to do so with safety. The number bf the confirmations is therefroe not so large as it would have been had I not been compelled to tjostpone several visitations till Nqyemiber next.

But the number of churches consecrated, and of comer-stones laid, is a gratifying token of successful labor on the part of clergy and laity, in divers parts of the diocese. The noble church and rectory; of St. Andrews, Rochester, have been completed, with exemplary munificence and good taste; and, as I reminded you, last year, this church is partially endowed. So every free church should be. When I mention the completion and consecration of St.

Mark's, Penn Yan, and add that it is already so well-filled that enlargement is contemplated; you will recognize great cause for gratitude and for congratulation. Tbe fabric at Tonawanda. haying been freed from debt, by the exertion' of parishioners and friends, has been consecrated and js now flourishing, the excellent school for girls, which is, also, carried on by its rector and Mis. Duboo, proving a great service, also, to the congregation. In! Cattaraugus county, the completion and consecration of two beautiful churches those at Salamanca and Randolph are evidences of missionary success, and of the-unselfish, zealous labors of the Rar.

Mr. Kidder, and the Rev. Mr. Burford. The people, according to their means, have shown a truly munificent spirit; and this is also true of Berfeen, where Mrs.

THE WINTER'S FASHIONS. j-- i This winter, are informed, fur to he the rage for (adies' garmenis.

Not only we seal-skin sacques and dolmans to be more worng than ever, but dresses even for house wear are to Ibe trimmed with fur Certainly no more beautiful fashion could. De set, as any one wno nas seen garment made up in the latest styles will be forced to admit. A hand-, some woman never looks more queenly than when wrapped i in the flowing folds of a soft and clinging fur robe, while hard features are toned down by tbe proximity of the harmonious tints, and textures of the same universally becoming material The extent into; which the nse of fur is to- be jrried this year was; suggested by a. visit to the cosyfpnd tasteful show-room fitted up for their lady cttComers by the well-known wholesale atiers and furaiers, Stafford, Faul Co. No.

187 Washington street. There they have many beautiful specimens of 'seal sacques and dolmans, and similar garments sof silk lined with fur, together with hats, muffboos, and all the countless varieties' of trimming 'this season so fruitful iri. the stock made up gives only faint idea of of the business. The great specialty of the house is making these elegant garments 10 orderT They have secured the services of a furrier who has been three years with one of the leading fur houses of Paris. Under his direction they ere prepare to furnish sacques and dolmans in seal, otter, or, other fur, and circulars and dolmans in fur-lined silk; and to guarantee a perfect fit.

Nothing in the fur line is outside the province of the, firm. caps, and gloves for the gentlemen can be. added to the attractions. Having a very large stock of the skin so fashionable for trimming always on hand, they are' prepared to cut trimming of any, width and length to suit their fairj patrons. An idea of the prospect for a busy season can be gained from.the fact! that- already many orders for garments shave been received and several filled.

The ladies rhose means will not permit of their purchasing new garments this year need not despair, however, f6r the skillful furrier can take an old garment of good quality, refit'it, re-dye it, piece it down and add new trimmings and return it to its owner, apparently new, beautiful, and fashionable as the day, it was originally bought. "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN. This always popular play, so admirably presented by the Boston Ideal I Uncle Tom Company," attracted another large and highly pleased audience to St. James Hall last evening. This afternoon a matinee "will be given, whicllj particularly invites he attendance-of the youop people.

The closing performance will take place thii evening. "Although the play is presented by so large and good a company, and with so many specialties and effective features, the prices of admission 'are very low. How Low Prices are Made. Low price is a relative term. It mean lower price than common for the quality of goods referred to.

How low prices are made, bow Clothing is got ready for you for less money than is commonly1 charged for such Clothing-, is worth thinking about. If a dealer's expenses are small, so is his trade. If be can Increase his. trade hundredfold, with only fiftyfold expenses, he canl lower his prices. If be use inferior cloth or trimmings or work, he lowers his Ciothinar, not his prices, in the sens we are talking about.

Dut if hi relation to the goods market is such that he gets his choice of material at the closest prices; if his relations to the work market is such that he cai get tbe most skilful and the most reliable workmen; ahd if, besides, his relations to the public is such that he has ready sale for all be can produce; if he has all these advantage be can make low prices, and if be is as wise a merchant as manu-faetuntr will, lt is only by making these circumstances tributary to hi purposes that a merchant can thrive. This knowledge i useful to you when you have to decide where you will buy your Clothing. Jf you are an infallible judge of Clothing, buy anywhere. If only a lair judge; or no juJffe at J'1- hoy when these indications point apd you will certainly sav money. BRONNBRS.

Your Convocation and Deanery system is doing well; it might be made to do. more, if all were as zealous in working; it as are some. It has more than answered ro'y expectations; let us feive it a further trial and carry it on with more energy.

During the past year, I have admitted a well-tried wot ker to the office of deaconess. For nine, years she-has proved her vocation; nobly. I wish every parish bad two such helpers' devoted to the aid of the rector, among the young, ithe sick and the moor. Mrs. Wickham, of Grand Rapids, who for so many years was identified with this diocese, and life is very nearly a record of our whole history as National Church, survives our first deaconness having been allowed to accept this relation by her own diocesan.

She continues constant in piayers and supplications lor her Disnop and tor all his fel low-laborers; They also serve who only stand and But this venerable lady, though appointed under my band and seal, nas never been formally admitted to the diaconate ot women, p5ptrbltc ceremonial and Miss Dayton, of Grace church, Lockport, is the first thus solemnly ordained. 1 Tbe Proctor Legacies have been successfully ex, tricated from litigation and you will soon hear of the large bequests, amounting to $20,000, which, have been paid over to the Parochial Fund. Fur ther sums, it is confidently expected, will be received, under the provisions of the will. The sum of $1,000, with accrued interest, has been paid am is added. to the Startin Fund by tbe terms of the legacy- The thanks of the diocese are richly due toj my friend, I C.

Montgomery, fcsq Of Koch- ester, for professional services gratuitously rendered in protecting this "particular; bequest. It is on' de posit, in the Savings Bank, and will greatly iienefit many persons and institutions of tbe diocese by us annual dispensations. These poble gifts wi embalm the memory of Mrs. 1 Mary Clark Proctor and that of her most exemplary father, Mr. G.

Clark, of Rochester, whose known wishes were car ried out by bis daughter, with filial piety. Tbe be quest of Judge -Traeey ($2,000) has been paid to me, and invested, and will be applied, under advice of ihe Chancellor of the Diocese, and in conformity with the terms ot the One-half will be de voted to preserve and increase the Episcopal Library, which I have given to the diocese, and the -other to increase the fund for the support of th Episcopate. May others emulate these beautiful examples, which deserve to be imitated as well as praised. And in view of tiaf great liberality of liv. ing benefactors during the past year, in addition to these gilts trom the departed, may we not trust that a more bountiful spirit than has been common awakening among The liberal sums expended in tbe lepair and decoration of churches is very noteworthy.

Here fn Geneva you have before you two striking in itbe embellishment of Trinity Church, and in the completion of the memorial tower of St. Peter's. put Committee on Beneficejnce should be continued, for a full report this year would be an encouraging review ot deed that ought lo be on lasting record. As I heard of good men who are intending to leave something for ihe support of parish churches, jet me hear suggest that such bequests Ibe left to "jthe Trustees of the Parochial Fund." jto be paid tf such parishes only uhen they raise a specified amount among themselves for the same purpose; otherwise to be added to the missionary account lot the year in which the income bf the legacy is forfeited. This provision stimulates self-help, but such gifts, unless guarded in some such way, generally become a pre.

mium to ignoble dependence! and very often injure the very interests they are meant lo The ancient and honorable Corporation for the relief of the widows and children of the Clergy in. the State ot has been made a matter ot investigation your bishop, during, the past year, with a view to commending it to your attention am indebted to the Kev. its secretary for much valuable information with regard to it and I do not hesitate to exptess my confidence that in a large majority of cases it; will be found the best investment which clergymen can make, in behalf of those who are so dear to Would that every parish might make a I hanksgiving gut to its lector; by enabling him lo do this; without drawing on a scanty salary. The annual payment, is small; the benefit is comparatively large. 1 At your meeting, after considerable discus sion upon tbe report of the special committee, you voted for.

an amendment of the constitution by which Title Second, Section provided it be now, finally adopted, is hereafter to read as follows ''Sec. z. There shall be a Council of Clergy and Laity in the Diocesi of Western New-York, according to provisions hereinafter made, which shall meet, annually, on the taint uesclay in JVovembrr, at such place as shall be appointed by the Bishop or by the Ecclesiastical authority tor the time being. This amendment must now be- submitted to vote of both orders, voting separately and 'by oaiioi, ana 11 majpruy snau voi aye, it win ue-come our law; for I shall interpose no objection Mn.nn, tm 1 consider a very important -step in the right direc tion. A number ol our most worthy delegates.

who find themselves unable to be with us at; this time, have expressed a steone that this measure should pass. Others have observed that on mature reflection, they wish it had passed as was reported by the that is, so as piovide for our annual meeting in the month "of January, or the third Tuesday thereof. 'I still think this would be better, but let us for the pres ent secure the improvement which is now ready for our adoption. I need hardlyi say What must be ob vious, that the annual Council for 1880 having been held, the amendment will not be operative' till next year. A resolution should provide for the ex tending ot the hscal year to he first of November, 1881, and I fhall request some member to offer it case the amendment is passed.

In obedience to the wishes of this, council, the trustees of DeVeaux College have classified them selves and three vacancies will have occurred to be now'provided trom nominations approved by your votes the appointment iof successors will be made under tne existing laws. 10 tbe vacancies thus created must be added another occasioned by my own resignation of my4rusteeship. so that there will be fotyr nominations to be made. I have lpng wished to 1 take this step, which 15 one that affords me unspeakable relief; but it has never seemed to me befoiej that I could honorably retire, leaving my faithful and laborious associates to bear, apart from me, tbe censures ot tnose who nave disapproved of a policy, which was entered npon by me, as well as by them, with tbe purest motives and in the unsuspecting confidence that this council would share our convictions ana lena us its leistering care, we had before us the ditbcult problem, how lo make the educational system of DeVeaux answer in some de- gree, to tne large poiytecanic scheme ot the founder and to the name ot a "College received from tbe State in interpretation of its intended character. We had insufficient buildings to repair, enlarge, supply with water, with with heating-fixtures and other absolute necessities of tbe situation We had an exhausted farm property to restore and make a source of income, and me had to create a.

capital by term-pupil system, demonstrably capable of doing all that was requisite for maintaining tbe officers of the College, but wholly incapable of being brought into success without your patronage and co-operative efforts. All this was en task, which be came complicated by an insufficient realization of the supplies on wnicn we nad depended. Uur whirlpool property," which at one lime gave us nearly $2,000 annually has failed and now yields only a fourth of the amount; legislation has. cut down the rate of interest; and at the same time, it is almost impossible to find investments which re turn a net annual increase, of six per cent. Parents alarmed bv the constant complaints which our de- bates have spread far and, near have been unwilling to entrust their cnuuren to an institution always under a cloud as I have beard it expressed.

1 In this reduced condition your new trustees will enter urion our unfulfilled task; lliey too will be obliged to confront the problems Which we have patiently toiled for fifteen years if anxiety, and effort; eftorts which I trust God has accepted, as done ia His fear and for and noblest ends. But the work of the new Board will be compara tive! simple and if sustained by your sympathy and confidence, they" can soon make this institution a glory and a praise to the diocese and the church. They will find a fapn, rescued from waste and destruction, and buildings rendered suitable and commodious, as well as wholesome and com paratively secure against peril of fire. They will now assume our stewardships and I am Sure tbey will say, that struggling with difficulties of every form. we have done what we could." I feel con fident that He without whekm nothing is stroirg.

nothing is holy," and whom we have constantly invoked at every meeting and in the consideration of every measure, will yet graciously crown our efforts 1 --a n- wiui cnuunag hmxcsh hhu A'up-by, and Harrow and Eton, a name of strength and honor. It may be made th nursery of a glorious succession of scholars, and of public-spirited men; some of whom, we (may hope and trust will largely increase tbe resources of their. alma muter, by solid proofs of their gratitude and love. To God's I ferVently commend there aspirations of my inmost soul. Hereafter mv relations to De Veaux will be those of its visitor onlv.

This is my natural and becom ing position as your bishop. It relieves me of responsibilities which I might not evade, but which, in the nature of things, I could no more control than you can. This release snakes me hereafter the guardian of those interest which you are charged to foster and protect. I work with you, and am able to speak independently of the reports of the trustees. Let us work together to help and not to hinder, and new era in the history of De Veaux will be found to have begun with the plan for reorganizing tbe Board ol Trustees which your wisdom hasrlevised.

I And now, let me. in conclusion, carect your at tention to the Question what institutions of the church demand our first, most sacred interest. I see in your town said a passing stranger, mat others surpass yon in public institutions." Yes, I replied, others build convents and large houses for unmarried priests, but ouriinstitutions are homes for Christian families. Oar people ive in decent dwellings; the poorest of them are neat; others are. the abodes of cultivated men and women; many we trust of a twin.

piety. Italy has had convents; so has Spain; England has made homes.

as the speaker of tbe evening. He began by saying that he had the pleasure of addressing: the Republicans of the First Ward in 1876, and it was. with the same feelings that he now addressed them on the most important canvass since i860. 1 Since 1 that time we had bad good administration and everything, in fact, that was eood and That "was. the result of a free government, which had sheltered and protected us.

Therefore; the time of his audience was well employed 'in assembling, together, and considering tbe questions between the two parties. The Republican party to-day stood at the end of twenty years the representative of the people and they were grateful for it- He then traced the history of the party from its inception to the present time, including the establishment of free labor and the abolition of slavery, In dealing with the course pursued by the Democratic party. he said that they had nominated a Union soldier for the express purpose of covering their platform, He next referred to the war of the rebellion arid the indebtedness in which the country found itself at its close. The money question was then explained, including the resumption act, together with the tariff revenue law. In regard to the demand lor a change, what change, he aslted, did the Northern States want?

The Northern Democrats had sympathized with the rebels, find had opposed every to iut down the rebellion. The speaker gave the foundation for the terms the Solid South and the Solid Nprth. aristocracy of the old country had, -he said, bought up and settled Ihe South originally, and tbe land bad been owned in immense tracts. The real workingmen had settled in the fJorth, and when the emigrants came- to this country they Always flocked to the North or- West.

He referred to the great cry the Democracy had made when. General Grant was nominated, and because he was a soldier they talked of Caesarism and Imperialism. Now they had nominated a man who was nothing but a soldier, and one who could not compare with Grant. t- -it Philadelphia in 1856, its fundamental principle was announced as anti-slavery. The party declared that it would obliterate slavery, and nobly had it fulfilled its word All ot the principles enunciated at that meeting had been carried out.

The speaker referred to the efforts of tbe party to gain a sound financial recognition for this country abroad, and the good results of this doctrine was shown in the fact that our exports now; exceeded our imports. We Were looked upon by the other narions as strict ly honest, paying for what we got in honest money and selling honest goods, uur prosperity ana tne plentiful ness of money were all due to the good work of the Republican parly, and the speaker felt confident that his hearers.would not go over to a party that had fought against every measuie lhat tended to advance the welfare of the people.

Hatch was He made a brief speech, saying that he wanted to impress upon his hearers the fact that of the $213,000,000 raised for taxes, the supporters of the Democracy paid, but eleven millions. Did 'his bearers know what the Democrats would do if they got in power? Why thev would vote for improving every goose-pond and back-yard of their friends, cousins and aunts. He wished further to tell, them that New-York State paid twice asjmuch taxes as the whole twelve States that rebelled. The South had $650,000,000 in claims waiting for the Democracy to get into power, and in this amount; was -figured pension money for the rebel soldiers who bad pointed their muskets at the breasts of tbe Union troops.

Tbe presence with us' at this council of my Rt. Reverend brother. Bishop Herzog, is a significant fact and one which it may be well for, us to maik by resolutions of sympathy and respect. You know very well that he is one of tbe foremost representatives of that movement known as the Old Catholic reformation, which marks the epoch of the late Vatican Council, as One that renders it impossible for Catholics to live in communion with the Roman See. That council, msulting lo the human intelligence 'and outraging to every principle ot catholicity which, till then, survived among the Latin churches of Europe, haJ forced Dbllinger and his illus trious associates rnio uai reiurmeu position wnicn now brings us and them together in apostolic princi ples of inter communion.

With the difficulties that beset tneir untrod paths, nobodv that has not made them a special study can have any practical ac quaintance. Formidable as they are, the 'Old Catholics have not succumbed to their pressure in the patience and quiet perseverance which now marks their progress wet have, strong proofs that Gad is with I them and is guid ing them to success.

I am qni(e sure that my own welcome to the Bishop will be more than seconded iby your own. TI-ICLMSl XJK Ctbse the Erie dourrty Fair An Accident, on the Race-Track, With Reported Fatal The twenty-fourth annual fair of the Erie Coun ty Agricultural Society, which began at, the Ham burg Driving Park on Tuesday last, closed yester day. The weather throughout was unusually pleas ant, aud added much to the great success "of the fair.

The Association last year had a considerable surplus in the treasury, and the receipts this year will cause ihem to have a handsome balance on hand. This prosperity can be attribnted to the good management of the officers, who have exerted themselves to the utmost for the advancement of theXSdciety, order which was maintained through the four was of the best. Yesterday was as pleasant as the two preceding days, and "eight or nine thousand people were in at tendance. At noon Secretary Williams mounted a wagon in front of the Soldiers' Hall and lead a long list of awards of premiums. The parade of premium stock took place at one o'clock, and was nearly half a mile in length.

About three o'clock the crowd gathered aroend tbe track to witness the races, and the first one on the programme was called the novelty race as it Was termed, It was a fairly interesting contest in its way, but terminated with a melancholy accident, resulting, it is reported in the death of a young m.yi who drove one of the The race was of a single heat, a mile and a half the first half walking, the second half trotting, and the third running. There were four entries, viz. D. Little-field's gray gelding George of "Hamburg; D. Bab-cock's mare Marcia of Eden! E- W.

Kes-ter's gray gelding Billy of Boston: and G. Kline's bay mare Nell of Boston. George came in first with Nell second, Billy third and Warren At the finish NeTl, driven by Mr. Kline, passed the judges' stand and turned to the left instead of the right. The result was a terrific collision with Billy, who was clotte behind.

They struck almost breast to breast and head to head. Both horses and riders were with great force to the ground. Billy was raised to his feet and led away somewnat injured put not seriously, net! was taken from the track and is probably by this time a dead mare. At first it was not thought that either of the men were seriously injured. Mr.

Kline, the owner of Nell, was injured somewhat about the head. Mr. Earl Keller, the owner of Billy, 'was not considered seriously hurt, as he showed no external hurts. He sooq became faint. however, and it was evident that internal injuries had been received- Doctors Abbott and Nott of Hamburg and Boyce of East Hamburg were at hand and did all in their power to relieve the suf ferer.

It was thought advisable to take him home. and he was placed in a Conveyance which started for Boston, but we are informed that he died on the way. 1 Nobody at the time supposing that Ihe results of the accident would be so serious, the horses for the free-for-all race were called after the excitement had subsided and the race was trotted. The first race was dead between Almont, and Fannie D. C.

Hamlin's Almont, then won the contest In three straight beats, with R. Daggett aonie 1), second in each beat, and Thompson Llllie Pierce third. The judges were the same as on Thursday with the exception of the Hon. Burt Chaffee in the place of Mr. Enos Hilbard, of North Collins.

The winner bf the 2.40 race Thursday' was War. ren, owned by Mr. W. C. Avery, of Buffalo.

r-T UNFORTUNATE WfR3. KARINS. Undoubtedly tbe details of tbe murder of John Karinsby Mertin Flanigan are fresb in the mind of our readers. Since the terrible affair the wife of the murdered man has continued to. fail in health.

The fact that she was an eye-witness of the crime, and saw the fatal blow dealt without being aware of flanigan' intentions, has so preyed upon her mind that gradually reason has been dethroned and the poor woman has passed into a state approaching close to lunacy. It is said that since her husband death she ha not been herself, and all that friend and medical aid could do to reconcile her have proved futile.
