a. Washing- of Philadelphia, a former pastor. Hymn number 161 was first sung, followed by prayer and the 169th hymn. The morning lesson was contained in the seventy-third psalm. The reverend gentleman took for his text the seventy-third psalm, twenty- fourth verse.

"Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory." After commenting upon the first part of chapter of text, he said: There arc two ways to enjoyment in this life to follow the example of worldliness, or to break loose and follow God. On one or the other of these platforms every human being stands by living by sight or by living by faith. This is thorough, including judgment, will and life, merging our will ixto God's, and making it to conform to His.

The fall rendered and his ii juries were of such a severe nature as to cause death in a few hours. He was removed to the home of Mr. Cardwell and every attention mid him. He had been a hod carrier for about thirty-three years, and at this time worked for Stewart and Rumford.

Coroner Fairlamb held an inquest at his office this morning. It was learned from the witnesses, Charles Rtimfjrd, and Arthur Steward, that the deceased was ascending the ladder with a hod of mortar, and when bis head was about up ta the second story one of the rounds pulled out, and be fell to the cellar. The rounds of tbe ladder were nailed to scantling, and it was called a "one-story ladder." Dr. Isaac Crowther was summoned, and he testified to finding the injured man in the cellar iu an insensible condition. It was his opinion that tbe deceased fell bead-first, aud that be died from an injury of the brain resembling con- Lytle's woods, and while there one of their Dumber, son of Major Barton, afed eight or nine yean, went into a willow tree to get a piece of willow, to nuke a whistle, and he accidentally fell to the ground, a distance of fourteen or fifteen feet, and sustained severe injuries about his back and head.

It was a divine interposition to change them.

They that are iu tbe flesh cannot please God. Christ said, "Ye must be born again. We cannot call into question the must. A vow of submission to God's counsel is of no avail unless we obtain the power to do. If nnre- ge'nerate nature is not reconciled to God, a regenerate nature surely is, for God has foreordained that Christian men should walk in bis ways, and only can regenerate souls carry it out.

Men begin at the wrong end when they try to reform their lives; they should allow God to change their hearts. God is accepted as authority to obey. In becoming acquainted and guided by the counsel of Gofl there are two mediums of communication: Through the scriptures, which contain counsel, command and caution necessary for the guidance of life, and tbe Holy Spirit, a reminder of old doctrines, ot of tbe new. From this source comes the greatness of our lives- Every man should be a Christian. cussion more than anything else.

A verdict of death from accidentally falling from the ladder was rendered. GBEAT DEMAND FOR ICE Saturday Messrs. Hart Hamilton, confectioners, at 504 Market street, made a great quantity of ice cream of various flavors, for their Saturday evening trade, but the weather was so warm that the great demand for this delicious dish exhausted their supply before nine o'clock in tbe evening.
