There was a general expectation that
the -Philadelphia Presbytery, and those
members of the Pittsburgh Presbytery,
who suspended relations te the Synod in
the month of June last, would come into
court and claim seats. None, except one
from the Pittsburgh Presbytery, was
present on the door of the Synod. and he
made no claim to a seat. It has not been
ascertained, as yet, whetherjany of them
will ask for the privilege of sitting as
members, or present memorials in rela
tion to the subject which led to their sus
pension of relations.
When the Roll of Synod was complete,
the Moderator ann that theffi first

The Commission appointed at last Sy n .

set forth that the Presbytery of Philadel

to
General Synod and put theniselves

farther in the case. but declared the per
sons of the First Church, Pniladelphia,
who recognized the authority of General
Synod to be of right the First 'Reformed
Presbyterian Congregation of Phliadet
phia.
Dr. Wilson • moved that the report be
accepted and the Courmission discharged.
At this point James Smyth, Esq., pre
sented a memorial from the Refor

Another paper was p reciting ,
at large the Whole case and the delibera

Rev. A. G. Wylie thought no notice
should DO taken of the memorial. It
was now too. late. The petition shouid

The report of the Qommiernion was
adopted unanimously.
The unfinished business was imisvbend
ed to take up the memorial from the Phil
adelphia Presbytery and consider the
other papers.
Mr. Wylie thought the paper should
not be received. The Moderator had so
decided. • -
Dr. McMaster thought there was no
difficulty, as the Presbytery of Philadel
phia recognized Synod as the General
Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian
Churtia.
Dr. -Douglas thought the paper should
be referred, to a committee to examine it
and ascertain whether it is such a paper
dbe read in Synod. If it is, no
member will object to its being present-

from the Presbytery of Philadelphia

The papers set forth that the Synod
which met in Pittsburgh last year, was
illegally and unconstitutionally organ

"Your Daughter Sings rely,"
Were the words addressed the other day
to a gentleman residing on the Allegheny
Commons by a friend of his. "Which
one is the sweet warbler, Sarah or Ma
..
its?" ."11either one of - my
, daughters
sing," replied the astonished pater,fanall.
las. TAe friend., insisted that he had
heard a most thrilling and sympathetic
voice in passing his house, when further
expostulation ensued and which devel
oped the fact that the . gentleman pos
sessed one of those lovely "Burdett"
mane with the human voice (vox hu
mane) stop. and which had been mis
taken for the human voice divine. In
deed, similar mistakes have frequently
occurred since the patented new "Car
penter's" human voice was bought and
exclusively avplied to the Burdett Organ.
We have an agency in this city, (H. ;Lie
ber ez 8r0..) where doubters can speedily
be convinced of the truth of our asserlis

Oen. In fact, any

An Uuusual Announcement.
We have to-day an announeement of
an unusual character to make, and one
which will doubtless be appreciated and
heeded by our readers. Mr. Charles C.
Mellor, the well known inutile dealer,
No. 81 Wood street, is about to remove to
his new place of business on Fifth ave
nue, and &siting to open his new house
with an entirely new line of good s, musi offers cal
his pianos, organs and general
goods at a grand closing out sale at cost.
The high reputation of this house Is a
sufficient of the correctness of
the a gdvertisement which appears else
where, and we trust none of our readers
will fail to embrace the opportunity pre
sented for obtaining very decided bar
gains:. The closing out sale commences
at once, and will be continued till the
middle of next month.
'What is Rl'
To Purchasers.
Purchasers should vrays make it a
al
point before making their purchases, no
matter what their nature, to first anger
taro an establishment of a reliable char
acter; wtere the article they desire is
kept for sale, and then it is their duty to
learnwhere they cab gett the best article
for the least money. 'Moab in search of
