The Tribune says : -
The Hon. John D. Stiles represents in Con

posed of Montgomery and Lehigh counties.
That is a Democratic district, and chose Mr.
Stiles, in 1868, by 2,679 majority. It is also an
iron district; and Mr. Stiles, on the 4th inst.,
made a speech against the proposed reduction
of the duty on pig iron,of which.thetpirit may
he gleaned from the following cloSing para
graph:
" But, sir, ono word more. The discussion
on this bill has mostly been confined to the
Radical portion of this House. I have
listened to this debate from the beginning.
The Free-Traae theories of the Republicanleaders
liove.rcaelied beyond the Copilot! Your speeches,
your votes, are before the country. The mo
tion to reduce iron below the rate proposed
by your Committee comes from your chief and
leader. You have resistless power in both
branches of congress; you must take all the
responsibility; you must take all the odium
'that attaches to this legislation ; you cannot,
you.shall not escape that responsibility before
the people. If you•deceive them now, be pre
pared to meet their condemnation."

TOE CITY OF ROUSSEL&
A Ntory at the New,
Captain Gadsden, who was a passenger on
board the Brumels when its screw •broke,
writts as follows to the Liverpool Daily
Covrter, to correct some of the misstatements
which bad been in 'circulation in referenee to
Captain Kennedy and the Brussels :
I consider ita duty to ask of you the .favor
-to publish an old sea:dog's Opinion of the In
man steamship City of Brussels—yesterday ar
rived finder sail from New York, which port
she 14t on the 24th ult. Three days after
leaving port, in'a heavy gale of wind, she-un
fortunately broke ler propeller. Captain Ken
nedy wisely had reduced the speed as low as
lie could, and yet keep steerage-way on
. the ship ; but. in a heavy Squall and head
sea. about- 8 o'clock in the morning, the
fan broke off; at which time we were some six
hundred miles from New York. The winds bad
- been- - blowing so long from the east that the
commander - colisidered his- chances better in .
reaching to the eastward than running back to
the port he started from, and got his ship at
once under the proper canvas. Twenty-three
days we sailed along, and in all my experience
of twenty-rive years at•sea, in fine weather or
f0u1,:.1 have never seen a snip act better-Like_
a knife she cut through the water, and often
clipsecLordinary-eaihngveasels-that---hove-
in sight. But we were unfortunate in -winds—
strong gales from the eastward for the most
part, and the balance but light westerly
breezes that sometimes scarcely gave us steer
age way. And here let me frankly state, that
hut for the constant watchfulness of Captain
Kennedy, day and night, in keeping every sail
set and trimmed to catch every air with
shrewd calculation for the" coming weather,"
we certainly should have been several days
longer on the passage—for which too much
praise cannot be accorded him. My surprise
.at the excellent sailing qualities and weatherly
behavior of our shin was no less than that
experienced at finding the provisions con
tinue in the: abundance and quality they
did. Up to the`- last dinner the table
was most handsomely served with
-well-cooked - meatsrvegetables - F - pastry, - ;- and

HAIL . STORIES. <
Some FaeLS Coneernbsit Them.
The N. Y. rim es says:-_- -----
The great hail-storm in Philadelphia,on Sun
day, was in some respects remarkable, and did
munch damage, but, it has often been far ex
ceeded in violence and destructiveness. In
- Jackson, La., in 1834, a fall of hail not- only
beat down houses and trees, but killed num
bers of cattle,
althoughlt lasted only for -nine
._toinutes. _ During a storm in Germany t de-_
scribed by the A.bbii Maury in a paper read
before the Boyal Society in 1798, hail-stones
fell that weighed eight pounds; and there
seems good evidence that in the storm of July
24, 1832, at Tassi,a single bail-stone was found
that weighed fourteen pounds, and that
one at, least passed through the
roof el—filtousg,-- --Bnyne's—grav state—
went that a hail:Stone fell in India
fillling the-reign of Tippoo that - was of the size
of an elephaut, is incredible; but that there
have been - manf taikittones large enough to
destroy the life of either-men or-animals,- is
certain. During the early days of California
there was,a story of :a hailstorm having killed
every person in a little mining camp in the
mountains save one poor fellow, who e,caped,
much bruised and hurt, to tell the tale. Some
meteorologists have supposed that ships have
been sunk by
,the sudden weight of these
frozen missiles, and that catastrophies attrib
uted to contact with mountains of ice have
indeed been caused by that substance, but
coming from kvertical rather tuan a lateral
direction.
Fortunately for mankind hail-storms are
commonly not only limited in duration, but
confined to very moderate areas. That which
visited Philadelphia does not seem to have
been heard of elsewhere. The great French
storm of 1788, considered, we believe, the
most severe on record, extended in two
parallel lines—one of five hundred, the other
of six hundred miles in length; but the mean
breadth of each was only nine miles,. and this
instance is accounted altogether unusual and
phenomenal.
A MENNONITE CEREMONY.
Feet Wiashlua.
A Lancaster paper of yesterday contains the
following:
'The ordinance of Feet Washing, in connec
tion with the Communion, was yesterday ob
served at the Reformed Menhonite Church,
in East German street, this city. The services
were commenced shortly after nine o'clock in
the morning. After -the opening exercises,
Rev. Samuel Hershey, of Mount Joy twp.,
preaehed_a sermon in the_ German language.
He was followed by Rev. Daniel Musser, M.
I)., of Lancaster, a Bishop of the church, who
spoke in English, choosing fur his. subject the
EncharLt. At the conclusion of his discourse,
the Comthunion was administered by Bishop
Musser _and • Rev. Mr. Hershey. When the
communion• was over, Rev. Christian Wit
mer made some remarks on feet wash
ing, choosing for his text the first
seventeen verses of the thirteenth chap
ter of the Gospel of St. John, in which is
contained an account of Christ's administra
tion of this ordinance. After Bev. Mr. Wit
mer had finished speaking, Bishop Musserand
Elder John Light removed their coats, put ou
white aprons, and each taking -a small tub
tilled with water, proceeded to washing the
feet of the brothers, each brother removing
his shoes and stockings and placing his foot in
the pail of water. The celebrants, with their
aprons, wiped dry the feet alba communi
cants, saluting each with a kiss after his feet
were wiped. The female portion of the con
gregation were waited upon by two sisters at
tired in white aprons, who went through the
Same form as the brothers on the opposite side
of the house. Near the close of this ceremony,
a hymn was started and sung by the congre
gation. After prayer and a benediction by
Bishop Musser,s the audience was dismissed.

The latter part of lax[ week fired; broke out
in the woods' in this vicinity, and have since
swept over a wide district of territory, doing
an immense amount of damage. We. have
seen fires 'aging at no less than twenty-five
different points on the mountains at one tnne.
These were doubtless set by parties interested
in the " huckleberry " crop, or " for fun."
Thousardrof acres have thus been burned
over And a great, deal of - property has - been
destroyed, though as much of its surface pro-dupes only scraggy hemlocks and rattlesnakas,
the damage is comparatively trifling, consider
, it.g the extent of the burnt district. Unfortu
-1 timely the ravages of the destroying element
I have not been confined to the mountains.
Saturday a fire began to spread in the.
woods north of this villago, and east from the
Cape : - andinf Sunday - , - despite the efforts of a
company of men,who fought its progress from
morning till night, it swept over the timber
lands of H. H. Gale, Charles Reed, James
Budd, B. T. Carpenter, Henry Clark and E. D.
Terwilliger, destroying all the young timber,
andmaking clean work of the-fences ; as well
as burning large quantities of wood, railroad
-tres f -bark,- &c.-,doing also consid erabki•damage
to fences on the farm'ofJ.'MmEllione (Datton
Farm).
At one time dau er to the village was ap
prehended. Mr. . H.*Gale lost forty-five
acres handsome an valuable young
_timber,
together with 330 cords of w00d,1,100 railroad
ties 4,000 fence-posts, and about 25 cords of
bark. His entire loss will reach about 51,800.
Gale & Hoornbecklost also about 160 cords of
wood on the mountain. We have no means of
estimating losseaof other parties.
At Drowned Lands, Greenfield, Briggs
Street, and Oak Ridge, much property was
destroyed. At Briggs Street, Asa Hall, B.
Vantassel, Philip Bunting, and other 4, were
losers. Large fires raged fiercely on the Ridge
for several deys, and some of the Leurenkill
farmers suffered more or less; the wood-lot of
Mr. Carling also was damaged. -Num
bers of men were employed in the woods
watching and fighting the fire day and night.
The residence of Tice, west of Mr.
Tuthill's farm, and several other dwellings
and barns, narrowly escaped, but we do not
learn of any destroyed in this immediate
neighborhood. The denizens of Cantonville
were - alarmed; - not - without -- causert Tuesday—
and_W_ednesday„when the extended-to-the
foot of the mountain.
We hear thatMe. - sais. Eliihout, at Sannd=
burgh, lost a large quantity of bark—how
much we are not informed. At Sholam, we
are told, a houseand barn were burned.'
This region has rarely been visited by fires
so destructive. Property to the value of many
thousand dollars has been destroyed._ For
many _days thick__clouds_of_smoke_ hovered
over the valley , and hung along the mountain
side, while by night the hilltops on either
hand were crowned with long lines of lurid
flame, stretching-away for-miles and present
ing a most sublime spectacle.
A gentleman who is conversant with the re
gion estimates - the loss at about, $900,000.

The Bey. Mr. Smyth Toted tint by Ma
Congregation.
-- The New York Herald says: - •
Tbe " gin and milk" trouble passed through

congregation of the Eleventh street ehureli
were - -invitedW3 10 in. the lecture room,
and about eight o'clock sixty people, of both
sexes and of a varied degree of intelligence
represented in their countenances, were gath
erttltogether.
The Rev. John Thompson, after prayer, ex
plained the object of the meeting, which was
to obtain the sense of those present as to the
retaining', of Mr. Smyth as pastor. He thought
that the recent action of the Presbytery
might modify the- views-of-some--persons
present. The commission, however, that had
been tent out to ascertain this, of which lie
was a member, and Brothers Harris and
Maxwell the other' two,
had; after a con
ference, decided that it would be the best
course to take a silent vote of "yea" or
" nay " as to Mr. Smyth being retained, as
pastor.
Mr. Henderson rose and read and sub
mitted the following protest, which was re
ceived.
We,the undersigned, for ourselves and on be
half of the numerous friends of ourputor,Rey.
Charles B. Smyth, constituting, as we believe,
a large majority of this congregation, do her&
by protest against any action being taken on
this occasion respecting a dissolution of the
pastoral relations_ now-existing between him
and this congregation. We do so‘ for the fol
lowing reasons, to wit:
First—The congregation have not had suffi
cient notice of this meeting, and the same is
therefore irregular according to Rules (page
find also-page-10)no-tiotice-of-it
having been given to them until yesterday,
and many of Mr.Smyth's friends are therefore
necessarily absent,
b'etond—Many of the members who have
been taking part in the proceeding looking to
wards a dissolution of the pastoral relation
have been, we fear; under the influence of
mistakes as to matters about which the'regu
lar preliminary steps have not been taken to
afford him an opportunity for explanation.
We respectfully request that this protest be
entered on the minutes of this meeting ,and
that a note of its contents' be made by the Com
mittee of Presbytery now present and that a
copy of it be embodiOd iritheir report and,pre
sented to the Presbytery.
Signed on behalf of, we believe, a majority
of the congregation. RAMON C. ANDERSOX.
Ballots were then handed round and a re
quest that each person voting would add his
or her nairie to the ballot. Mr. Rossborough
came in rather late and wished to make a
speech but was ruled out of order by the chair
man: i rhe ballots wore brought in by the
tellers and the result was forty for dissolving
the. pastoral connection and twenty-three In
favor of retaining it.
Mr. Thompson announced that the coin;
mission wax not authorized to give the result
of the vote to the meeting, but they would do
so at the meeting of the Presbytery to be held
Paterson'to-moriow. He immediately pro
-
trounced the benediction and the company
