He had left strict injunctions the children should not, under any circumstances, be suffered to remain a single moment without some person with them, able to take care of them, in case of fire, or other emergensy. In disregard of his instructions, the nurse who had charge of them, was sent off in the evening, together with a small boy, while the hands were at a distance at work, to drive up the cattle, leaving b'ix children under five years of age in the house. The Etnoke was soon discovered; but, before relief conld be brought, the roof of the house fell in, consuming five ot the children! The eldest had made his escape. It is heped that this calamity may be a caution'to those who are in the employment of others, when they think of disobeying the instructions given to them. JV.

i' cii b'u juni auouv it in a spirit ot angry recrimination in regard to the Olintou arenuo Congregational church, that it would Been hard to moke out where the difficulty arose. Laying aside the most distant feeling of animosity, I would, in a spirit of charity, like to state my viewB on the matter, if so be that what is now seemingly inharmonious and at variance may be brought into a Btate ol harmony and love. In a spirit of brotherly kindness let take sweet counsel together and walk into the House of God in company. Soma year or more ago the congregation of the church were dissatisfied with their present building deeming that the growth of the vicinity required a larger and more, substantial cdifioo. Mnch enthusiasm prevailed, and the first subscriptions were made with ease the work, however, seemed to lag after a time, and it was only by the most earnest endeavors that the present pledges were obtained, amounting to some $24,000.

Upon the striate of this, a committee was appointed with full power to aot. They fouDd a church plan which was quite pleasing, to them aud which they conolnded lo adopt. The ornamentation was exceedingly elaborate and beautiful ou tht outside, partaking largely, as is ibe manuer ol too many churches built nowadays, ol show and effoct rather than simplicity. Here was the first fault the striving alter great things with little means. Reiying upoa the business capacity ol ihe building committee and their tflicient head, who has been, indeed, the prime mover, the originator of the enterprise, the contributois left me matter entirely nanus, pieasea wun the general appearance oi the ohurch, but very lew ot them examining the various points in detvil, so as to apprehend that so expensive a structure was contemplated, to ereottu.

This is the great evil which has brought the present disasters in the commercial world upon us the launching out tco extensively upon small ospital. The present has proved to an almost mathematical certainty that such a plan will notdo. It is a ruie unvarying, whether in respect of individuals or societies of deuorat nations or communities that it is beet to pay as you go. At this junoture it would almost seem madness to attempt such a building. I am quite sure ttiat cveij oo a vtii vicinage otsiree that a church may be built lor the aucommoaauon tae society, and one sufficiently comuiodioub lor their wants lor a number ot years to come.

Indeed, every heart would give its prayers, and every hand its aid, in the accoinplisbmeui oi this purpose, and the work might go ou with renewed energy. The contracts were eigntd, aud specifications drawn, wnen it was oiscov that too much land baa been sola en tee lot. iu order to put ap theoburch as they bad bargained for it, ic wae necessary to come out to tne line of the atreet, thereby infringing an aluiOBt universal custom. An urgent but respectlnl remonstrance against this was presented. It was not too late men to go back and renew their contracts for a smaller church, and one within their means.

But us is too.oiten the case, the Committee were determined to eurmouut every obstacle aud having usee eet hand to the work, there was to be no backing out on their part. The Committee seem to have lorgotleu the "golden rule' in their certainly praiseworthy endeavor to erect tbeir Church. 1 am afraid that they have not done unto others iu this matter juat aB they would be done by. No unprejudiced person would besitate in saying that au injury has ben done to the properly oi ihe gentlemen who reside near the Cnurch, and it certainly is not surprising that their feelings have oDenhurt; We all kuow how great a matter a little fire kindletu, and had tueae gentlemen been treated with the courtesy due a geutleman, much of the strife would nave been wauting. Thus custom in regard to setting buildings back from thv line has become so universal mat much ol the property ou the avenue has been sold under an agreement to that ettect.

The worthy Chairman of the Uommittee himself purchased ttie property next to hid present residence, tj be sure that nothing was put up to mar his piop aud made the one who pur cha. ed Irom him enter iuto a uealed agreement for that purpose. How much better it would hdve beeu had ihe Committee come out like men and acknowledged their mistake, and striven to correctit. To most mindd this would appear the proper end huuuraOle course. Is it now too late for them lo do so I am not quite sure that it, would uoi be be betiur eVeu uow to stop where tbey ate and begin over again.

XuUetd it would seem almost impossible lo uuith their undertak iag at thu preseut crisis iu the monttary world One uutinisaeu cnurch Wilnauisburufi is now asking assistance, aud it is a srious question for Christians to pondor on, wnelher, in viewol tae present distiees when ho many iu our midst are uctnally etarWug lor want uf Oread, we should not retcind our unnecessary expense. Is it not mure becoming su naic fur more pros, perous times belore furtner outlay 1 With these lew remarks 1 leave you, only adding that I have been assured that, with a different board of direction, a ohuieh might ue at once erected to luilil every dtBire ol me reeid. nts of the avenue, and ampl largo enough lor the growing wants of tne XkUrs res.ueui fully, A RBslDENT. The Grand Jury of New York have twice indicted Police Justice Ciark once for neglect ing his duty, and once lor refusing to take a complaint. One John Kiernan was arrested on election day, and taken before this magistrate, who refused to entertain the complaint, and discharged the prisoner from custody.

The second indictment is lor refusing to take a complaint against one Patrick McB'arland, who was charged with stealing a horse from Hiram Daniels, on the ult. The Magistrate, in this case also, is alleged to htve discharged the accused, without giving the case a proper investigation.
