Among quile a number of intelligent, enterprising, clever gentlemen it has been my good fortune to meet hero, permit me to mention Dr. W. B.

Roberts, ex-rnayorof the. city, snd one of the Republican nominees for Assembly in this county. Ho and his brother, E. A. L.

Roberts (the torpedo man), have done more than any score of men in Titusville to make the place what it is and hat is something unusual, tlpi people here appear to appreciate aud ac-know ledge the fact. Another Republican candidate for the Legislature, whom I hf'd tho pleasure of taking bv the hand, is Col. Jno. B. Comp-ton, of Meadville.

The Colonel belongs to an old and influential Republican family, was a brave soldier in the late war, is a 'dented-, educated, honorable as well as a good lawyer, and Win make an intelligent, Representative. The other nominees lor the Assembly in this county, Crawford being entitled to four under the new apportionment, are John W. Rhodes, of Riceville, Knd s. jr. Findlev, of Adams-ville, a very worthy and prominent United Presbyterian farmer.

The ticket is a strung one, and is lully entitled to the enthusiastic support of all good Republicans. Of tho numerous wide, elegantly pavod and beautiful avenues, the water works, gns works, different manufacturing establishments, palatial private residences, hotels, banks, stores, I cannot write at present) without trespassing upon your space, hence will save these for another time. John. FROM BR00KVIL.LE. Xet gain What the Reduction Will Be.

Under the decision of the Court of Common Pleas, the ciiy can only collect two-thirds the tax levied upon the rnral ward, for city purpose tliat la, the city tax of four mills, tire tax of one mill, and water works interest arid sinking fund tax of one and out- half mills or stxand one-half mills in Tlie reduction, by taking ntf one-third of the several Items cammrerated, would aijgresate fLXMiu 57, as follows We have already noted the application of the Hilarid Avpnnc Commissioners, to the Court of Common Pleas, for an injunction to compel the Mayor aud Controller, on behalf of the city, to issue 50.000 in bonds to the Commissioners, under the Penn avenue act, to complete said improvement. The Controller had refused to issue any more bonds, until he had official knowledge of the fact that the constitutional limit of the city debt had not been reached. The case was decided on Saturday morning, by Judge Sterrett, ho ordt red a nutndainis to issue, as prayed for. The City, through its solicitor, find filed a demurrer "to the bill of complainants, the effect of which was to admit everything therein alleged. He did not set forth, as a reason for not issuing the bonds, 1 hat the citv debt limit had been reached or that the Controller believed it had been reach-ed, or nearly so.

Judge Sterrett did not deliver a rittcn decision, but stated that it was the opinion of tlie Court that if the Penn avenue act was unconstitutional, the Constitution would not interfere with contracts let, after went into effect, by Commissions that had been regulurly organized before that time, unless it were ascertained that the debt of the city had reached the limit prescribed by the Constitution, to wit: seven percent, of the assessed valnntion of the property therein. In this case the complainants had made their averments in their bill, to which the defendants hat! filed a demurrer, thereby admitting whatever facts were contained in the bill. The only reference made iu the case to the condition of the city debt, was made in the complainant's bill, wherein there was no admission made that the city had reached its limit of debt. The question not being fairly before the Court then, it could take 110 cognizance of it. and hence the application would have to be determined upon other grounds altogether.

Were it decided that the Constitution prohibited the issuing of bonds at presei.t for improvements already commenced under the Penn Avenue Act, the city itself would lie burdened with the cost for the completion of these improvements, and as the Com could see no reason for the refusal of the Controller to comply with the request of the Commissioners in this case, it was proper that a liiauiiumus should issue to compel him. In case, however, it were satisfied that the limit of the city delrt had been reached it would decide that neither the Controller nor anv other official had any right to excesd It. The following order was then made: 'And now, July 11, 174, this case came on to be heard on the petition and demurrer thereto, and wasargued by counsel, and it appearing to the Court that the petitioners were legally authorized to demand and receive the bonds mentioned in the petition, and no sufficient reason being shown bv the defendant for their refusal to issue and deliver the same, it' 1 ordered that a peremptory mandamus be forthwith issued, coinmaiiding'the said defend-ants to execute, in the manner directed by the act of Assembly and ordinance recited in the petition, bond of the said city of Pittsburgh fo the amount of fc.10.O1JO, and isue and deliver the same to the petitioners to be ued in completing the improvement of Hiland avenue from Penn avenue to the Water Work property; and it is furtherordered that the defend, ants pay the costs." Under this decision, other Street Improvement Commissioners can demand lionds to complete work now under contract, and the sum total would exceed half a million of dollars. If the city debt has has not yet reached the limit, it would be desirable to have these improvements finished, forthe reason that until the work is completed, 110 aetneut can be made upon the property owners, and no lien secured. As Judge Sterrett remark, "the city itself would lie burdened with the cost." The Court declares that, if satisfied that the limit of debt had been reached, it would hold that under no circumstances should that limit be exceeded.

Thus, then, the-only hojie i preventing the cost of these uncompleted streets from falling Ukii the city at large. Is that there mnv be a nun gin for tlie issue of lionds sufficient to complete them. Had the lily Attorney pleaded lb limitation of debt, the Court would have denied the mandamus, and the cost of all these unfinished improvements would fall upon the taxpayer at large. In cit her phase of the case, the outlook is not a very pleasant one to contemplate. OBITUARY.

IBS The meeting of the Y. M. C. A. to hear reports from delegate to the late National Convention at Dayton was held last night in the lecture room of the Fourth avenue Baptist church.

whiQh was well tilled. The meeting was opened by singing and reading of the Scriptures, after which H. K. Porter, presided over the meeting, gave bis impressions or the Convention, referring particularly to the presence of so many represents live men from different sections of tile country, among them the President of the Y. M.

of Richmond, who presided over the National Convention held in WW in Sew Or-" leans, also Rev. Dr. Plummer, of South Carolina, but lately Moderator of the General As-scmby or the Presbyterian Church ot the South, and Rev. Dr. Wilson of this city, Moderator of the last General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of tlw North, lie also spoke of one tlie meetings at which the questions, "Hd Reach oung Men in Colleger' "How to Reach Railroad F.mployees?" and "How to Reach our Criminal Classes," ere ably and practically discussed.

Dr. S. Wilson was next introduced and stated that it was with great pleasure, that he had aeeepted a commission as delegate to the Dayton convention it was with still more pleasure that he recalled the experiences he met with there. 1 he most noticeable feature connected with the convention, was the devotional spirit that characterized it. It was a convention of praoer, not merely formal prayer, but earnest, heartfelt prayer.

Tuere as an atmosphere of devotion pervaiding-all the proceedings ofthccoiiventlon. It constituted one ot the most delightful occasions in his recollection. It was, as was be expec-I 5 gathering characterized by great fervor. The members of the body were greatly In earnest There was but little theorizing, but they ail worked hard at practical work. They tried to find out what to do and how to do it.

He recalled, with great Pleasure, the evening meeting spoken oi by Mr. Porter, and he never listened to a more powei lul and effective address than that of the gentleman who spoke that evening, on how to reach and save thecriminalclasses. Theevan-gelicai character of the convention was another delightful feature. He had attended all the meetings, including the struct meetings, so fat as practicable. He had heard Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists and Episcopalian preach, but he could not detect their denomination by their preaching.

They all stood and worked together on the broad platform ot Christianity. Denomiiiationaiisin. helielieved. was a good thing, but he was glad that all Christians could at times lay thcdenomiiiation aside, aid meet and work together, simply as Christians. Another delightful characteristic of the gathering was the ail-pervading tendency to increase and intensify the study of the Word of God.

This was the central point, round which all the work of the convention formed itself. He had feit that there was danger that too much reliance would be placed bv the workers ot the Association, on more earnest exhortation. But if the Dayton Convention were any criterion, there was little danger of this They had come back almost wholly to Biblical teaching: and this was the true secret of the power of tlie Association. He thanked God from his heart forall tlie many associations scattered through the land, teaching in this manner. point he wished to dwell npon, as the absence of all sectional distinctions at the convention.

Members from the South met members from the North as if there were no lines of division. They were all cordial brethren. He believed that meetings of this kind ould do more good to bind the two sections together, anil Ileal the old sores, than Congress can ever do. When the people of the two sections could meet together under a common cross, as well as a common flag, then the I nion will be complete. Rev.

Dr. Pearson lie following on The Iniernuttonvl Work of the Young Men's Christian Association. On Thursday night week Mr. Kirk Porter called together in his parlors a few ministers and lavin.cn, to hear a statement from Mr. R.

K. Mclierney. of New Y'ork, and other noted workers iu the Young Men's Christian Association cause, especially concerning its international aspects. I purpose in few words to exhibit the origin und necessity, the plan, cost, agencies and prospects of that work. Every year the Y'oung Men's Christian Association are accomplishing fresh and more imitortant results bv action.

A peculiar feature ot the work has been its grow th from an international organization. Eleven General or International organizations were held between lnoijiud before a single one of the State or provincial organizations were formed. Eight vears ago. the Executive Committee of this work was located in the city of New York, where it has ever since been continued. Since that time, (June, lisj6,) one hundred anil eleven such conventions have met in four provinces and twenty-two States.

At a majority of these the New York committee was renresented. The growth in numbers and influence of individual associations can be seen in a lew figures. In June, IstiO, associations were supposed to be in existence, though, only ti2 reported to the convention, and not one Twenty-sccond ward 5H Twenty-third ward 9 sv 34 Thirty-seventh ard s'lir' 2u THE TAX QUESTION. Decision in the Kitty Foup Case The City Can Only Collect Two-thirds in the Rural Wards. In the Court of Common Pleas, on Saturday, Judge.

Collier delivered the opinion of the Court in the case of Mrs. Kitty Roup vs. The City of Pittsburgh, in which was involved the right of the city to collect in the rural wards more than two-thirds the rate of tax levied for city purposes. The Court decides the case in favor of the plaintiff and a preliminary injunction is allowed. is the OPINION Or THB COCBT.

This is a motion for a preliminary injunction against the defendants to restrain them from collecting more than two-thirds of the rate of taxation levied and assessed by an ordinance of the cit3' of Pittsburgh, enacted and ordained on the 27th day of February, W74. By the act of the Legislature passed the 6th day of April, 1HH7, commonly known as the Consolidation act, it was made the duty of each assessor to im.rk in his of each taxable, used for agricultural purposes, the word "rural," and the act declared that upon any property so returned there shall be assessed and collected only two-thirds of the rate for city taxation that shall be assessed and collected upon other real estate within the said city." By virtue of the provisions of this act the township of Pitt, Oakland, Collins, Peebles and Liberty (in the lattcrof which isthc plaintiff's land), became part of the city of Pittsburgh. On the 1st day of April. 18s. the Legislature passed anot her act of Assembly, entitled "an act supplementary to an net incorporating the eity of Pittsburgh," the nineteenth section of which repealed so much of the former act as made it tlie duty of assessors to mark agricul.

tvral lands "Kural" and directed that "all real estatesituate within the districts ot Oakland. Pitt. Peebles, Liberty and Collins townships shall be marked anil there shall fa assessed and collected thereon two-thirds of the rate of city taxation." Notw ithstanding this act of the Legislature, the city of Pittsburgh, in Seleet and Common Councils assembled, has assessed and levied upon the plaintitrs real estate, designated by this act as "Rnral," the full rate of city taxation, levied and assessed on ether real" estate within said city, and the defendants threaten, unless restrained, to collect the full amount of said levy: and it is contended that the power to do this arises under section article nine of the new Constitution, which suys, "All taxes shall be uniform, tipon the same class of subjects, within the territorial limits of the authority levying the tax, and shall be levied and collected under general laws." This clause in the new Constitution we regard as merely declaratory ot" the law as it stood prior to its adoption. Both real and personal property have been classified lor the purpose of taxation for a long period in the Commonwealth. Real property has been classified for the purpose of municipal taxation into suburban, rurai ami marsh lands, and for State purposes into seated and unseated.

And every one is familiar with the numerous classes of subjects into which personal property is divided for the purposes of taxation, and the ordinance upon which the tax complained of this case is levied contains fifteen items of classification upon which tax is assessed. The Legislature having, prior to the adoption of the new Constitution, made a classification of the plaintiff's lands and marked them "rui-al," the classification will have to slsnd until a new one is uiade by the proper authority: unless the Legislature had no awer to make it, or unless it is not uuiforui. or, unless the new Constitution, by its own force, has repealed the act. That the Legislature had power to mr.ke the classification, we have no doubt, it is iiardly an open que-Hjon. Commonwealth vs.

Judge Shnrswood in Durach's appeal, savs: "In tlie legitimate exercise of the taxation persons and things always have lieeii and constitutionally may lie classified. To hold otherwise would logic-ally require tliat all the subjects tit taxation, as well persons as things, should be assessed, and an equal rate laid ad valorem.

Practically no more unequal system eould be contrived. as the classification uniform?

Those who can "get away," as well as the "stay-at-home" class of our readers, like to know something of the best places to go during the heated term.

We select from many pleasant places, the following as desirable: THE ABir-OKDACKS. The novelty of a trip to the Adirondack region, is as great as ever, notwithstanding many of the solitary places have become thoroughfares, and game is less abundant: yet, the mugnificent scenery remains, and while more easy of access than formerly, still presents such contrasts with civilization, as to be an unfailing source of pleasure. Some idea of the vast extent of the NewY'ork wilderness inay be gathered from the fact that it embraces a large part of the northern portion of the State of New York, being aliout seventy-five iniles in extent from east to est, and from north to south. It contains 5.000 square miles, or acies. affording an area larger than the state of Connecticut, it is said there are six hundred lakes in the 'Wilderness." Tourists can enter at ilitferent points, anil at certain localities on the lakes there are pubiio houses, but we believe the usual course for those who go to hunt or fish is, to provide everything, hire guides to Carry Imat and act as piiot, and encamp at the various points they wish to visit.

The outfit is simple warm, course blankets, an India rubber shirt, and warm, stout clothing, ami not very expensive. Transportation in the ilderiiess'' is bv bi uts. and generally rowed by a single guide, with occasional carries, when the luggage must otten be borne by the tourist and those in his employ. But little is taken to cucumber tin- torn ist. Our townsman, nudson Samson, of the firm of Fairman Samson.

Seventh avenue, was one of a select )arty. recently, who spent ten days in the Adirondack region, on a fishing excursion. Among the party were S. A. Gor-lmiu, banker, and Dr.

II. Cook, both of Cleveland, Ohio, and Messrs. Harrison and W. K. Gilmore, of Utica, New York, brothers-in-law to Mr.

Samson. They entered the ilder. ness," at or near Lowville, the nearest point by rail from Utica, and penetrated fifty miles, with guides, boat, and outfit for lent-ltl'e, and chiefly fished at the Red Horse chain ot lakes. After enjoying nearly two weeks of romantic aud rugged life, they emerged again to the walks of civilization, thoroughly bronzed, well flagellated with the tangled surroundings, with vigorous bodies largely increased corporeally. Our friend Samson on returning to the "Iron City" presented abiiglit piclureof health and withquite aldermanic proportions.

The rich and racy adventures of the trip, forming an episode in his life, that must be experienced in person to comprehend its pleasure; we therefore advise pleasure seekers to make the acquaintance of this knight of the "Angling" fraternity, for all nccillul details to make the jaunt to tiie SEA CLIFF. Iii these modern days some of the Christians, especially the "people called Methodists," adopt the sentiment John Wcsleypromulgated in regard to singing, not to let the Devil i. e. the worldlings) monopolize all the best tunes, so they are determined that the "world's people" shall not control all the sea-side bathing places. Quite a number of choice grounds have been secured at various points on the Atlantic coast for this purose, which have been nicely improved by the erection of cottages, and boarding accommodation provided, here the lot owners and visitors can enjoy all the advantages ot sea-bathing, without the wicked aiqamdages at fashionable watering places, such as liquor drinking, gaming of alt kinds and imprOT characters of both sexes.

At hi-se religious ocean resorts, every person is brought under moral and religious influences, and at two or three periods ttt the season, special revival exereises are held, varying from one to two weeks each.

Special ommrrrM, Twenty-three years having elapsed sines your correspondent last visited this place, he is able, truthfully, to put on record that several, if not more, changes have occurred in the time indicated, as well in the town and people as in the way of getting here. At the period referred to, Tittisville was a very unimportant settlement, comprising a portion of Oil Creek township, Crawford county, and contained only about half a dozen buildings, among whic.u were Chase's store, the American Hotel, a tannery building, and a blacksmith and cooper's shop. Without attempting to bore tiie intelligent readers of the Commercial with a long description or the changes which have been wrought here, during the last quarterof a century, it may be noted that this "four corners" settlement has grown into an elegant city, a population, at present, of ten thousand inhabitants, as intelligent, enterprising, industrious, sociableuud clever, as can be found anywhere. Although this is the lirst visit of the writer, since the place has has been built up, he has had the plensure of meeting many old friends and acquaintances, and is being made to feel quite at home. The previous trip to this point was made in a buggy, from Meadville, distant twenty-eight miiiH.

On Wednesday last, taking a seat in the cars of the Builalo Express train, at Pittsburgh, on the Allegheny Valley Railroad, una leaving at a. the journey, being one hundred and forty-nine miles, was made with less fatigue, and in less time than was that from Meadville. The numerous tow ns and places which have been built up and developed, since the discovery of oil and the completion of tho Allegheny Valley Railroad, between the Smokey City, and this young New York, are ft'iniliar to the readers of daily papers, hence it is unnecessary to speak of them here. On the way up, however, aliout the middle of the lay, a halt as made, the conductor of the train called out, "Scrubgrass, twetity minutes for dinner," and being invested with a disposition to investigate, as well as a little hungry, tho aforesaid twenty minutes were made good use of. Here wasfound an old and valued friend, William S.

Gregory, who represented a district in the city of Philadelphia, in the Legislature, during the session of 1S04. Wiiliam, it apears, some five or six years ago, bid adieu to the attractions of tlie Quaker City, and has since that time been fulfilling that very important scriptural injunction, which says, "feed the hungry." That lie lias succeeded in his laudable efforts in this direction, is fully proven by the indications of prosperity by hich lie is surrounded, as well as the most endiable reputation, which his hotel, enjoys, both as an eating house, and a cool, healthy retreat in the summer. Arriving at the Parshall House, a first-class hotel in every respect, 011 the afternoon of Wednesday, about three o'clock, a needed rest was indulged in, until the next morning, when in company with Professor Wiekersham, the State Superintendent ol' Schools, Col: John 15. Com pton, of Meadville, and others, a visit was made to the Soldiers' Orphans School, under the supervision ol'Gurdon S. Berry, where the annual examination of the pupils took place.

The examination was most thorough, being conducted by Prof. Wiekersham, assisted by Prof. Bolsey, Superintendent of the Titusville schools, commencing about 9 o'clock in the morning, and continuing until nearly in the evening, with an hour of intermission at dinner lime. Mr. Berry, the Principal of the school, and his amiable accomplished wife, are assisted by an able corps of in the persons of Prof.

A. G. Owen. Mrs. Owen, Prof.

B. I). Rowiee, Miss Eliza Shaw, Miss Ella Shaw, Miss V. I'ii'kard and Cnptain Huttcrtield who gives special attention to tlie military training of the male students. Among the visitors present were Hon.

Spicial orrt sponili nce of Pittsburgh Commercial. Bkookville, July 11, 1871. After a eek or two of very dry, hot weather, we have yesterday and to-day been favored with a series of fine growing showers, causing all kinds of vegetation to look bright and invigorated. Potatoes and corn, which had began to feel the want of rain, ill receive a new start, and we may look forward to an unusually plentiful harvest, as the crops of every kind give promise of a heavy yield. Apples and I-eaches, and all the small fruits, are abundant.

During last winter and spring, a series of petty thefts and burglaries were perpetrated in this place and the surrouuding country, and though suspicion pointed to certain" parties, no arrests were made. A few evenings since the house occupied by Rev. J. S. Wrightnour, the Baptist minister, near the "residence of Mrs.

Judge Taylor, was completely rifled of all moveable articles. Mr. ho was married A few eeks ago, is now absent on a trip east, with hisbriile, accompanied by his mother, ho has been keeping bouse for him, and the neigh I rs, noticing that some one had been in the house, made an examination, hen, to their consternation, they found that the house had been entered, and carjiets, bedding, Ac, carried off and the bureau draw era emptied of their contents. Of course it cannot be ascertai ned until the family return, how uincb has been stolen. This morning search warrants were placed in the hands of Officers McConnell and Scott, and two Brussels and one ingrain carpet were recovered, and three men and one woman -suspectod of being concerned in the theft were arrested and committed to jail.

We hope that this is only a commencement, and that everyone of this well-organized gang, who have lieon for so long carryingon their nefarious business, will be brought to justice. Since we last hud occasion to mention our jail, Mr. William Harmon has boon iipiointed jailor.andas he does not believe in letting his prisoners roam about promiscuously, on their giving him their parole d' honneur, but keeps them locked up in their respective cells, we do not ex-poirt to have any more "escapes" to chronicle. At present he has twelve boarders, more than were ever in durance here at one time before. "Verily the way of the transgressor is Mkntor.

Women's Christian Temperance Union. An unusually large and earnest meeting of the Women's Christian Temperance Union was held yesterd ay afternoon, at the Alliance Rooms, corner of Penn and Sixth streets, Mrs. Black presiding. The meeting was opened with devotional exercises, and several eloquent ami effective addresses were made. The most noticeable feature ot the meeting was the movement lniiuirurated to secure the general co-operntionjof the children of the two cities in the temperance work.

This is to be done by the organization of a eouiprehehsive 'Hand of Promise." There are a number of detached Bauds of Promise already organized, the most of them bt-inj; in Allegheny but at the meeting yesterday it was resolved to organize a baud that should include all others, and as lare a membership as possible beside. A committee, consisting of the following gentlemen and ladles, was appointed to perform the wm-k of organization: J. M. Vernon, Tliomiw 11. Babe, Watt liiaek, Joel Kerr, Mrs.

Eeynoldaville and the Central Land and Mining Company. RcynoldsvUle, a nourishing, healthy borough of about one thousand population, is situated on the line of the lv tirade Invislon of the-Aliegheny Valiey liaitroad, midway le-tween Keif lim.k Junction and The courrtrv surrounding the place is of the best tjuality tor farming purposes, and the town site is beautilul, while the many other natural advantages it possesses rentier it much more than probable that this town will be the most important point on the road. for many years past the lteynoldsvflle coal has been mined and hauled iu wagons a great xlistanee for smelting purposes, being entirely free from sulphur, but not until the Allegheny Valley ltailrond builtthe low gradeeould this eoal be brought to market to any considerable Saying extent. About four years ago P. W.

eiiks, of Puusutawney, one of the pioneers of Jefferson county, possessing more than ordinary foresight, negotiated for, and after associating Ir. Pancoast, of Philadelphia, it him, they bought various tiaets of laud in and about lieynoldsville, amounting in the aggregate to seven thousand acres. They have since organized into a stoefc company, giving it the name of the Central Land and Mining Company, of wliieh Mr. Albert Pancoast, son of the Doctor, and a most Intelligent, go-ahead, business man. is the President.

The coinjtany is now fully organized, and hits eomuiouced operations. Messrs. Sharp TKity. of Shamokin, have leased live hundred acres of coal land, and have commenced driving entries, putting up inclines, building houses, grading sidings, and expect to ship six hundred tons per day. dhese gentlemen have been in the coal business, the anthracite regions, for twenty years, are men of great experience, ami enlarged liberal X'icws, ith ample means, and we predict for thciu a bright future in their new field of operat ions.

We have been informed that Messrs. Jones ft Rahrer. of Tamaue.ua, Mr. Kendrick, of Reading, and Mr. Cohen, of Ilutlalo.

are all anxious to buy or lease, coal lands at Keyuoldsville. The Central Land ami Mining Company has laid out a plan of lots near the station at Key-noltlsvUle, and beautiful grounds for the depot are being graded, it is the intention of the Railroad Comiany to build large and convenient passenger and freight depots, on the ground given for that purpose by theC. L. A 11. Co.

At present there are only about eighty tons of coal shipiied from this point dady, as it has to be hauled in wagons to the railroad. As soon, however, as the coal companies get their inclines bnilt. their will be eight hundred tons per day shipped. The new company eonteroplate having a geological survey made of Its lands, with a view of ascertainidg more definitely their mineral value. The principsl market for this coal will be Western New York and the Canadas.

The opening of the Low Grade Division of the Allegheny Valley Railroad phices Rey-noldsvllle five miles nearer Buffalo than the xuines of the Pittsburgh Coal and Mining Company, at Catfish, and as the Keynoidsviue coal is of a much superior quality and thicker vein than that mined at Catfish, tile tormer will have no fliculty in coninuuding a preference in the Buffalo market. as regards taxation: anil this view Is streiigth-cncd'bv reference to sections twenty-one and tw-enty-two of article three, in w-hleti acts intended to be repealed or avoided are expressly so declared.

The ork is undertaken for three specific purpose: Ctryonization, Agyresxion and folu-catton. There is A divine warrant for such procedure, and I quote with satisfaction a pitce from the old story, as good for the present In 2 Chron. XVII. 7-H, we read, -he (Joshua) "sent princes, and with them Levites, and ith them priests, and they taught in Ju-dah, ami had the book' of the law of the Lord with them, and went alout through all the cities ot Judah and taught the lsjopie." Tiiey organized oiganizatioiis under a ntral head.

That is the method of this effort. The International Committee is not organized criticism; it is organized love. They seek to unite Christians in work, not in resolutions on (Miner. Of the wisilom of combining young meu'for special woik, there can no longer be much discussion. Its spiritual issues already atte.st its divine propriety.

This board, as embodying the sentiments of the many, was able to give that turn to the discussion of "What shall be terms of Membership in Y. M. C. bv which their df stinetively Christian character was forever assured. Largely owing to Hs diffusion of literature and presentation of truth was brought about that standing ruie, that active members must lie in connection witli some Evangelical Church.

Their representative character enabled them then aud in that matter to act with an influence not hing but their representativeness eould have giveii them. They aim then at the organization of bands of workers mtmtlemental to church activities. If you mark the events of history you wiil observe that the church has worked in this very manner, it educates society or a body oi men to a certain point, and then, hen they are prepared, turns over to them departmental labor. Thus education for all was one of her reformed teachings aud having (iuickened the conscience of the Mate untie perception of tl, has handed over to her its execution, but there remains with the church her inalienable right and duty toace to the direction, of the power in knowledge thus acquired. So in the relief of the indigent, provision in hospital and infirmary for the sick and unfortunate, duties and equalities of brotherhood: her teachings have shaped public action and awaked a sentiment or constituency willing to carry them out.

And so now, in the complications ot city life, what the young man Timothy did for Paul, are Young 3Ien's Christian Associations doing for the churches. Ministers binding up the sheaves, gathering up the fragments, utiiizingand marshalling the new born powers of the church life in congenial and disciplinary work. The old cry of danger to the church, has subsided. It could only last while the church was at ease and slothful. The more earnestly the church is at work, the more manifest does it appear hat her policy is the creation of the allied but semi-Independent forces for specific fields.

These associations interfere with no existing organization. They are in sympathy with all, and as they prosper will prove a blessing to ail.

Said Edmund Burke, "Men are qualified for civil liberty inexact proportion to their disposition to put chains upon their own appetites; in proportion as their love of justice is above their rapacity; in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of judgment is above their vanity and presumption; in proportion as they are disposed to listeu to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves." What, then, must be our perils "from knowledge aud power without Christian impulse anddireetion being in the hands of a Young America? "The great com-prejensive truths." said President. Quiucy, "written in letters of light on every page ot onr history, are these, human happiness has no perfect security but in human freedom: freedom, none but virtue; virtue, none but knowledge; and neither virtue nor freedom hasany vigor or immortal hope, except in the principles of Christian faith and the sanction of the Christiau religion."

Dkkhis the. man who attempted to commit suicide bv cutting a perpendicular gash in his throat, is getting better. On Saturday evening, he experienced a paroxysm so violent that it took the exertions of three men to hold hiin. kktkbdat a boy on Franklin street, near Logan, sent up a tov balloon with a fire attached to it.

The balloon and its little torch alighted on the roof of a house, and caused a flutter of apprehension among the people of the neighborhood, but thanks to the rain, no harm wasdone. Robert McChesnet has made Information before Alderman McMasters, charging Mr. J. K. Lanahan and two constables named Wm.

The committee appointed by the Clearing House Association to investigate the system of burglar alarm telegraph, which the Central Piintiim- Teleeranh Company there is considerable feeling here aliout the matter, it may not be improper to give a briet sketch of the facts connected willitho establishment and progress of the school, as harned from resixmsible parties who are evidently posted. The 'school was organised in December, 1867. Mr. Berry, the proprietor, then practicing law, had devoted much time, during the former part of that year, to earnest etforts that the school should be established as a private enterprise, conducted by a board of citizens. To give time "for sucu arrangements he had pledged the State Superintendent, Col.

MoFarlatid, that he would accept the private responsibility of the school if the efforts to make it a public enterprise should fail. They did fail, and the school became a private enterprise under such pledge. A Principal, soleeted by the State Superintendent, Prof. J. N.

Beis-tle, now record clerk of the school, was placed in charge, a full corps of teachers employed, and the Crittenden Hotel, a five tti ored building, forty by one hundred and forty leet, "with wings, finished throughout, and capable, as tho Suporintemteut said, of accommodating three hundred and fifty pupils, wasopened. The contract was for "one hundred at the start, one hundred and fifty on or before tho first of March, 1S68, and two hundred on or before the first of tine, 1868. The school was furnished with first-class equipments and run at great expense, under oil region prices, regardless, in fact, of cost, and in a style which challenged comparison. Promises of patronage were not kept, but were many times, each year, repeated, only to be again and again broken. For such breeches the limited amount of appropriations, compared with the numbers already in all schools, was the ready excuse, but relief was constantly expected and compensation by large increase of numbors, when by the discharges of pupils from ot her schools, on accouut of age, the appropriations should permit.

Heavy losses wore sustained 011 account of these contracts, so that in 1870, when the school buildings in this city were sold, at a profit of some eight thousand dollars, on their first cost, the proprietor found himself barely able to pay the obligations existing against him, although his private means were entirely consumed in his efforts to start even with THE FASTEST FLEET AFLOAT, Asliton, Carbon county, has small iox.

The Waynesburg Independent furnishes the following crop news; The yield of wheat in Greene county this season is much heavier than it hits been for many years. Wheat has not been doing very well as a general (thing for some years, and our farmers are well pleased with the present abundant harvest. A lthnugli reports in relation to the oats crop are generally of so gloomy a nature, we are glad to learn that tiie crop wiil not be an entire failure, as has oeen feared.

J. C. Wright, of Gurard's Fort, tells us that thero will bo a pretty respectable yield of oats iu tliat section, although the growth is very much stunted. Tiie late rain have helped the crop considerably. The Reading Eagle of the Pth inst.

gives the follow ing account of a singular case of drowning Last evening, between five and six o'clock, Jacob Stein, an aged and respected citizen of Windsor township, met with a sudden and melancholy death, ile was returning homo from Hamlium, on foot, and whilst crossing the small stream of water about HW rods from his house, his feet slipped and he fell astride the log with his head forward into the water and wss drowned. At six o'clock he was found by a member of his family, and tlie body was lying on the log with a logon either side and the face in the ater, which was only six inches deep. It is supposed that in falling, Mr. Stein struck his head violently against the log, and was knocked senseless and drowned whilst in that condition. He was a widower, but leaves a large family ol children to mourn his loss.

Although nogreat publiedemonstrations were made by the wmen of Philadelpnia during the recent temperance excitement, Mrs. Fincli, of the League in tliat city, announces that the work of the women was effective. The members of the League number 27,372, and through their efforts nearly four hundred saloons have been" closed, while two hundred and twenty-six proprietors ami two hundred and thirteen bartenderssigned the pledge toabstain from the use and the sale ot intoxicating liquors. The Philadelphia ladies have been at labor without making a npise and they have not relinquished it. In their mode ol action thoy differ from their western friends, whose sudden flaming up in the cause has, to a great extent, proved but "a flash in tho pan." Unostentatious, steady, persevering and gentle work will always accomplish more than that savoring of bigotry and violence.

The Conneautville Courier says: The wife of Mr. A. II. Lawrence, of Summerhill, met with a singular and serious accident on Wednesday afternoon. In company with her husband and son, she was on her way home from the funeral of her father, Mr.

Abrain Walrath, in a crackey the boy sitting in behind leading horse. The led horse became frightened at a dog running out at his heels, and jumped into the wagon with all fo.ur feet, clearing the boy but striking Mrs. Lau'reiico, throwing her out. The horse fell over on his, side upon the forward wheels, crushing it down, and rolled to ground partially upon Mrs. Lawrence, who was unable to help herself.

Dr. Hough was eallod, and found his patient with two ribs broken, and her back and limbs considerably bruised, but with no dangerous injuries. The horse was somewhat hurt by broken splinters from the wagon. CFNARD LINK THE A.NDXCiKTII turmriy MAIL STEAMKKS.
