Tbe matter , we raivrrru te ids leunn oanierenee IO i Which this congregation belongs. V. Tbe laying et a oerner-atone of a union church and tbe consecration et sev eral union ohurebea being reported, It ! seems Imperative upon this body te direct attention te the fact that it has repeatedly ! In tbe past advised sgsinst all sueb joint ownership in beuses of worship, whereby '.any of our congregations would be pre pre pre joluded Ireni divlne aervloe or from con ducting Its own Sunday school during any jpart of the Lord's day ; and te express the nope tbat every congregation uakoprovl uakeprovl uakoprevl slou te be tbe aele owner of a church build- 'leg where divlne servlee may be held every Lord's day, and the instruction of the chil dren of tbe church according te our Lu theran faith, whetber In tbe Sunday sobeol 'or otherwise, be unencumbered by the 'elalms or rights of ethers. i VI. Tbe generous bequest of Miss Eliza SYeet. of Sprlne Ultv.

With gratitude te Qed wbe put;it into tbe beart of his ser vant te respond te tbe urgent needs of tbe ahnreb, we commend her example te these' of our people who have slmllaroppertunlty te advance tbe kingdom of Oed by tbe dls position of their various means, and we 'nggest tbat pastors keep such objects prominently in tne minas or ineir oongre eongre oengre ge'lnne. ' VII. The petition of the alumni aasoola aaseola aasoela Joa of Muhlenberg college ler repre repre wntatlen In tbe beard of trustees appears te have In view the plan adepted In many if our American oellegea whereby tbe tlnmnl directly elect a certain proportion it the trustees. As this would necessitate shsnge In the charter and probably ether very radleal changes In tbe organiza tion of tbe college, we recommend tbat tbe sntlre matter be retbrred te the beard of trustees, as the synod's standlis committee en all mattets pertaining te Muhlenberg Mllege. VUI. We hereby approve of tbe words if admonition and reproof in which tbe president baa deemed It necessary te refer n the want of harmony and tbe oenillct et tntagenlzing Interests within tbe minis terium. We regret tbat dissatisfaction with the institution, elliclals, or action of this tnlulsterlum or Its representatives iheuld be expressed In any ether way by members of this body tban in the most fraternal spirit, and In accordance with tbe previsions of tiie constitution, which we nave all signed and te which we are mutually bound. We deplore from enr hearts the controversial violence, tbe partlran bitterness, tbe personal ran :or which for se many years have been tbe shame and disgrace of eurcchurch. Journalism, and lrent tbe guilt and responsibility of which few of aa are properly free, whether by active participation or by silence when manifest wrongs done brethren should be protested tgalnxt. We recognize these evils as hav ing attained tbelr culmination In tbe con troversy te which the president refers, and te have reaebed a limit beyond which they dare net proceed without entirely de stroy leg tbe conlldenea of brethren In one mother, completely rending enr unity and making co operation with one anetber lm lm peaalbla The time has oeme net only for deep personal repentance but also for bring ing tertb fruits meet for repentance by stamping out every root of bitterness with out regard te tbe source whence 11 proceeds nr the iiuarter where it In found. IX. luasmncbastbe Kelle undSchwerdt, published at Reading, fa , extensively cir culated both among our pastors and lay men, has given especUl ellenee byartleles both original and republished from circu lars and papers regularly Issued In Ger many, containing meat serious reflections and aoeusatlons against bretbren in this mlnlsterium, with a bitterness and malig nity tbat shows no abatement In successive numbers, and by these attacks Is commit ting a wrong net only against tbe bretbren whom It arraigns, but also against tbe ln tnmam which the mlnlsterium has com mitted te tbelr care ; Inasmuch, also, as tbe president has deemed tbe offense se grave aa te report It te Ibis body as demanding Denial attention and action. There is no ether way open tban te de mand of tbe bretbren responsible for the publication and tbat Journal te make re paration for aueh articles aa full aid public as they have been given circulation.

The almost constant rains of the past week ;have put Ue tobacco land In geed oendltlon for planting and many farmers vailed themselves of the opportunity of setting out a portion of their plants. Berne of them were s geed deal damaged by the very heavy rain of Monday night and Tues day morning. During the oemlng week a large proportion et the plants will be set. Last week the Intellioenekb pub lished a statement that "el gar-makers were working from hand te mouth awaiting the outcome et the great tariff fight In con gress." The XT. S. Tobacco Journal In republishing the paragraph says : " Why the cigar manufacturers should await the outcome of the great tariff fight In Congress, in order te push business, is net quite plausible. Fer the cigar Indus, try will net be aHeeted the least by any outcome of tbe sreet tariff fight. Beth the MUler and MeKlnlev bills, renreaentlns the eoenomlo polleles of both the great par ties, retain tbe tax en cigars and cigarettes w newer eitner or meae nuts passes or net It will leave the cigar Industry in stalue quo, Oenaeqnently no manufac turer need abstain Irem putting ent one thousand cigars leas, nor any Jobber from buying any teaser quantity than la his went en aoeonnt of what Congress Is going te de or net te de oenoerntng the taria and revenue bill. And aa there la absolutely no chance of soy ehange In the tax en clgara and cigarettes, se there Is no obanee either et a raise In tbe oustems duty en foreign leaf or or having It admitted free of duty. We can only repeat that, aa far aa tbe cigar industry la concerned, the outcome of the tariff and revenue legisla tion may be considered a perfectly lndlf ferent," But the Journal anawer It own atate ment In another editorial paragraph a fellow : Ths production of cigar In the whole country for .the month of April amounted te 305,054,270, against 311,469,608, In the corresponding psrled of the previous year, showing again a decrease el 0,415,233. Ne wonder that the grumblings about peer business become loud and general In the trade." And, aa It this were net enough, It prints s column and a half of reports of the oendltlon of the cigar trade in all parts et the country, showing tbe business te be very dull. The reports from Pennsylvs m sre aa fellows : Laneaster, dnll ; Ephrata, very dnll ; Lebanon, no geed ; Reading, alew ; our largest nnlen factory la en strike ; Yerk, tbe mere machine sre used In factories, the duller business becomes In the factories that use them ; Allentown, very dnll ; Bradford, very dull ; Meadvlllr, dull ; Philadelphia, dull ; Pettsvllle, dull ; Erie, everybody Is working ; Leck Haven, dull for thla lime of year ; Warren, Improving ; Wlillamspert, Greenville, all hands at work ; Allegheny City, dull. Maw Ter Iiar MarktU Tbeoceurronoe In the msrket for the past week de net call for any extended remark. They would, anyhow, be only repetition of tedious sameness, it I the old story told se often during the past few weeks, viz : That the prlnelpal transactions In seed take place In old Pennsylvania, which la moving of quite rapidly, though at little renumerstlve prices, that Little Dutch Is also In quite active demand, and that what ever remnants there are left of ether avail able leaf they are eagerly taken It prlees sre low enough te anlt tne purchaser. The business In Sumatra wa rather back wards in comparison with the live transac tions during tbe past week. There were hardly 250 bales sold, almost retailed at the usual quotations.
