Last evening a large number of ladies and gentlemen, mem bers of the Alexander Presbyterian Church and congregation, assembled at tue house of Mr. John Peters, No. 1820 Green street, to meet the Kev. George F. Calu, late pastor of that church, previous to his departure from the city. It was a "surprise party in its fullest sense, and the reverend gentleman and his accomplished wife were completely overwhelmed. The comnittee of ladies having the matter in charge did tbelr work admirably, and if any person present last evening believed in the old slander that ladies cannot keep a secret, they were doubtless con verted to the true theory of ladies' constancy and fidelity. When Dr. and Mrs. Cain entered the hospitable mansion of Mr. Peters, from the houhe of the friends with whom they were enjoying a delightful tea, and ushered Into the crowded parlor, they were overcome with what at once appeared to them the ui mi festatlon of the remarkable kiudness and love of a large number of the Alexander membership. William J. McElroy, Esq., in a neat and ex ceedingly delicate aud beautiful speech, pre sented Mrs. Cain with a magnificent bouquet of natural flowers, among which was artistically arranged a purse containing a considerable sum of greenbacks, as a token of the high estimation in whicn the ladies of the church hold her nod her talented hustaud. Subsequently. John Kobinson, Esq., in a well-timed and eloquent f peech, presented Dr. Cain with several elegant books, and the little daughter, Maggie, was the recipient of a number of articles of value and usefulness. Kev. Dr. Cain made no response. Ills appreciation was full and complete. Dur ing the period of his ministry there he has done a grand and noble work, and in his retirement he can look back upon that field, with Its splendid church freed from debt. When be was called there from Erie, Pa., less than two years ago, the church was in debt upwards of 152,000. Now the subscriptions to the liqui dating fund aggregate more than that sum, in cluding the $20,000 donation of the Presbyterian Alliance of this city, and $12,000 of the subscrip tions have been paid into the treasury. What a noble record for a servant of God! Rev. Dr. Cain deserves well of the Alexander people, and the thanks of all good citizens. Church debts, like all other obligations, should bo promptly paid, and every effort put forth to li quidate them. In his endeavor at Nineteenth and Green streets be has been eminently suc cessful, and blessings must crown his labors. At the meeting appointed to receive his resig nation the vote stood 27 to 73. With bo large and eo decided a majority opposed to taU re eignlng the charge, we think Kev. Dr. Cain vhould have remained in Philadelphia. Success to him ra whatever position he may be placed. Greater honors are In store for him on earth and a richer inheritance in heaven.

It will be recollected that a1 month ago a public breakfast was Riven la the Continental Hotel, at the Instance of the Rev. Dr. Cather, who explained In full tbe objects of the Syste matic Beneficence Society, an organization which Is tbe outgrowth ot the Christian Moral Science Association. Dr. Cather is the secretary of the latter body, wnicn is in successful onera- tion In England, and his purpose ln.cominir to tbis country was to explain to the clergy of tbe L uuea etaies tne extreme importance of an orza nidation such as is proposed, and which, In tbe opinion of the reverend advocate, is most prac tical in Ita bearing, and when In operation will be productive of the best results. Ibis morning in the Continental a second breakfast was given. Dr. Cather at 9 o'clock met about one hundred nnd fifty of our princi pal Protestant clergymen In parlor C. The company were taken to the breakfast hall, in tne ladies ordinary, ana alter grace sat down to a tul'Slantial meal. Tbe invitation which brought the dlstlngrulshed company together reads as follows: ANGLICAN AND INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN MORAL FC'lENCX ASSOCIATION : SYSTEMATIC BENEFICENCE HtCTION. Dear Sir: At the request of several members of the assoi latl n. It Is proposed to hold a second pub- no oreakintii, in me louuui'uim uoiei, at a-43 o'clock, on educsilay morning, April 1, proximo.

When the report had been concluded Rev. E. M. Levy returned thanks, and the assemblage rose and sang standing an appropriate hymn read by Dr. Cather. Rev. Dr. Newton then read extracts from St. Paul's Epistle to the Corinthians, and Dr. Wil ms offered prayer. William G. Moorhead, Esq., who presided on the occasion, then announced in brief the ob jects of calling tbe apsemblage together, and said that Dr. Cather, during hit brief stay in this country, has been eminently successful in prosecuting the scheme of systematic benefi cence, a subject which is vast in its influence for good to tbe Christian Church. Mr. Moorhead then Introduced Dr. Cather, who, in commencing his remarks, spoke of the success which has followed the public break fasts which have been given in the different cities of our country. He said that the rapidity with which the scheme has come into favor is Eomewhat surprising, but he did not expect a universal belief immediately. The matter re quires time. It takes a generation for an oak to grow; a mushroom springs up in an hour. Seven years ago the society was started in Eng land, and at present branch societies are in operation in the other principal countries of i,urope. Tbe speaker then went on to describe what led him, twenty years ago, to think of the scheme of which ho was to speak to-day. It was during the famine in Ireland, and the ques tion forced itself upon the mind how much a Christian should keep for himself of this world's goods and how much he should give to God. All tbat we possess belongs to God. We hold it in trust; we owe Him all, and to Him belongs a part. I am not bound to give where I do not owe, but I am bound to bestow where I owe. That is the position assumed in the principles of the society the simple principle that by our very nature we are indebted for life's gifts to the Almighty, and that a percentage of the total of what we possess belongs to Hlui. One-tenth cf our effects seems to be the pro portion which should be given for the further ance of God's work. The speaker then spoke of the establishment of the Christian Moral Science Association as being tbe climacteric of all socie ties; tbe latest and most approved feature of this enlightened age. It Is immoral to be covetous, and this thought should be a prime feature in the inculcation of an advanced moral science. Tbe speaker bad implicit faith in the sure arrival of that day when will be universally acknowledged the duty of the moral responsi bility of money. A man that gives one-fourth is a better Christian and a better business man than, one who gives only what he cannot avoid giving. Tbe speaker then denominated science and the Gospel as the greatest forces of the age. On one hand we have scientific men striking at the Scriptures, and on tbe other we have others who are endeavoriug to harmonize matters. The science which they seek to teach Is tbe knowledge of tbe method of working out the perfectibility of the human race under tae con ditions of the fall. Surely God has some plan by which He means to brlug about this consum mation. The establishes of this association think they see and understand the plan, and they seek to put in the possession of the Church tbe Ideas which God has given phrase to in the BiMe. There is more light in the Bible than has yet come out, and it is by this instrument we must eeek to obtain that by which we are to work for the world. The speaker, then went on to dis claim against the prevalent belief in uniformity. He thought that It was calculated to drive a man out of his senses. Variety is the great law ot nature; as unity is tne aengntoi tne intellect, so is variety tne aeng.ni ot the senses not a variety which is the same as confusion, but a variety that is tbe visible and different manifes tations of the same thing. Tbe Methodist Church, of which the speaker Is a member, is not tne unnatian Church, but only a partof it. it is one or the different forms of the whole Christian Church. It is one of the branches of the great Church; the Pres byterian is another, the Baptist another, etc. These different manifestations are perfectly natural and necessary besides. Dr. Cather quoted a letter, in which Max Muller, tbe celebrated philologist, endorsed tbe purposes or. tne association, ine speaker said that the worth of this endorsement will be ap preciated, when it is recollected that M. Muller is probably tne greatest scholar perhaps living. He has more influence with the cultured classes of England In this department of theo logical thought tnan perhaps any other scholar of Britain, and Dr. Cather regarded the letter of M. Muller a symptom, as a siirn. that sys temutic beneficence is on a sure road to national belief. Mr. Gladstone, the Premier ol Great Britain, also has pralt-ed the objects of the association, These eminent endorsements,' the suetker said. would bring tbe subject to thousands who would never nave Known or it unless their attention were called to it by such authorities. Tbe rpeaker then entered minutely into the subject of beneficence, and developed his ideas of tbe ti'he system, namely, that one-tenth of a man s Income belongs to God. Perhaps the proportion may be questioned, but be wanted the principle to be distinctly understood, be lieved and practiced. Dr. Cather explained its practical effects, aud he concluded with a hope that the great principles of which he necessarily gave tut imperfect explanulon would be speedily received by tbe Christian world. Dr. Gather was loudly applauded at the con clneion ot his remarks. Dr. Newton then arose and moved that a vote of thanks be passed to Dr. Cather for bis able explanation of the objects of the Moral Science Association. Dr. Newton also moved that Jay Cooke, Esq. and otters be extended the cordial thanks o tbe meeting for providing tbe entertainment. A vote of thanks was also passed In favor of Rev. A. M. Morrison, a gentleman who has la- bored assiduously in furthering the objects of tbe scheme. A young prince (name Kojso Soaguvoora) from Japan, who has embraced the Christian religion, made a short address. He was elected an honorary member of tbe association. The meeting then adjourned, after a brief address oy ur. minis. KXCCKfcl) SENSELESS. "What Cornea of Minding Other People1 XUHI11CSS A disturbance yesterday morning suddenly aroured tbe neighborhood of Karn street, of which Wm.Mornin is a denizen and a bright and f tuning light. Air. Mornln first tooK his station before tbe bonfe to listen to the internal strife. Catching the warlike Infection, be ventured upon tbe threshold, and then peered In at the door. While he was gloating upon the prowess of the maternal head of tbe family, who bid defiance to all tbe rest of the belligerent family, he was disturbed by a youngster named David O'Leary, aged fourteen years, who ordered him to quit In stnnter. Whether the lad struck Mornln first, or Mornln was the aggressive party, is yet in donbt. We know, however, that the fracas was ended by Momln'8 striking the lad upon the head with a billet of wood, and knocking him senseless. This finale caused the utmost consternation. The Injured boy was carried to St. Joseph's Hospital, where at the latest accounts he lay half stupefied, and in an exceedingly critical condition. He Is not expected to survive. Mornln was taken in charge by an officer and committed to prison to await the result of the injuries he inflicted on his youthful opponent. MrsTEHiors Disappearance of aw Agent. Mr. A. E. Kissam, the agent In this city (No. 23 g Bank street) of Hecbt Brothers, of New York, importers of fancy and notion goods, has not been seen at bis lodging house, No. 1003 Race street, since 7 o'clock Sunday evening, 0th instant, at which time, after lighting the gas in his lodgings, he went out of the house. Ilia friends are in great distress at tbis mysterious disappearance. An examination of the clothing and papers In hte lodgings and in his place ot business gives no clue whatever to his absence. Everything, on the contrary, denotes tbat it Is not the result of any premeditation, which, together with his strictly temperate habits, Integrity ot chaiacter, and quiet de meanor, leads to the most serious apprehensions, regarding him. So far all the efforts of the police and detective force have failed to elicit the slightest trace of his whereabouts. He is very slightly built, 5 feet 3 inches high, has dark bnir and a smooth and very thin face. He Is thirty years of ago, but looks very much younger, and was always neatly dressed in dark clothing. He had on a low-crowned soft hat, carried a gold watch, with gold face, and wore a large seal ring. Any information left with the Chief of Police, or at Mr. Klssam's lodgings. No. 1003 Race street, will relieve his parents and friends greatly Assault upon a Private Detective. Some months ggo Daniel Kendig, an cx-detec-tive officer, narrowly escaped being killed by a lumber of roughs who had treasured up a bitter animosity against-him. When he had recovered from the illness which this violence produced, he became private detective at the Girard House. Last night, while etanding on the steps of this bouse, he was again brutally attacked by three notorious fellows, one of whom is a hackman, who is usually to be found lounging about the corner of Ninth and Cbesnut streets. Kendig was beaten with a blackjack about the head. He wrenched a billy from the grasp of one of his would -bo assassins, and by plying it vigor ously saved bis life. A police officer, at the last moment, stepped up and took one of the villains into custody and eacorted him to the Central Station, but before Kendig could appear his as sailant was allowed to depart!
