When graded and paved these will form
magnificent thoroughfares.
We are pleased to note that our young
friend, W. H. Graham, son of Senator
Graham, has been appointed to a clerk

13TIODICAL PROCKEIDINGS.
Veraeraillyned of the Reformed Pres.
byterian Church at Cedarville, Ohlo.
AFTERNOON SESsioN.
Synod met at 3 o'clock and was opened
with prayer by the Moderator. Minutes
read and approved.
It was moved by Dr. Wilson, and sec
onded by Peter Gibson, Esq., that the
paper from the Philadelphia Presbytery
be laid on the table, inasmuch as Synod
can have no intercourse with that Pres
bytery until she "lays down her arms."
Carried.
The unfinished business was suspended
to take up papers in the hands of Rev.
John M'Alillan.
The first paper was a certificate of Rev.
Geo. Scott, D.D., "Stated Clerk," that
Revs. Thomas Johnston, and John Mc-
Millan and J. P. Fleming, Esq., were ap
pointed Commissioners to present certain
papers to Synod.
Objections were raised to receiving or
hearing the papers, unless the parties
presenting them recognized the General
Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian
Church.
Finally, the papers were read. They
recited the act of suspension passed by
some members of the Pittsburgh Pres
bytery itt June last.
The last paper was a memorial, and set
forth that a Presbytery having the right
to send delegates or not, as she pleases,
to General Synod, they had concluded
not to send delegates this year, and that
they had been constrained to suspend
their relations on account of the suspen
sion of George H. Stuart. It contained a
prayer for the removal of the suspension
pronounced on Mr. Stuart.
Dr. Wilson moved that the papers be
laid on the table, until the parties pre
senting them "lay down their arms,"
submit to this Synod in the Lord, and
give signs of repentance for their hasty
action.
Dr. McLeod was opposed to the motion
on account of its severity.
Rev. A. G. Wylie was in favor of it,
because he wished to treat the suspen
sionists in the Pittsburgh Presbytery in
the same way the Philadelphia Presby
tery had been treated.
Rev. Mr. Wylie raised a point of order
that inasmuch as the Moderator bad-de
cided that the motion was carried, dis
cussion and amendment were out of or
der.
The Moderator ;decided that the ques
lien had been re opened by the call of
Dr. McMaster 'for a decision.
Dr. McLeod moved that all after the
words "laid on the table" be stricken out.
A division of the question was called
for.
The following motion was then offered
by Dr. Wilson:
Resolved, That the papers just read by
Rev. John McMillan be laid on the table,
but that Synod does not thereby shut the
door against the petitioners being admit
ted when they make application for it.
Carried.
The Committee on Union stated they
would be ready to report to-morrow
morning.
The Committee to answer the Protests,
reported they had discharged their duty.
Report adopted and Committee dis
charged.
The paper presented in the morning,
endorsing the action of the Synodical
Commission, was then taken up and
adopted.
A communication was read from the
delegate of the Reformed (Dutch)
Church, who had been appointed to at
tend Synod, apologizing for his Inability
to be present, and extending his cordial
greetings to the respected Court. The
paper, with a certificate of the delegation
of Rev. A. B. Van Zandt, was received
and placed on Me.
A communication was read from Rev.
Geo. N. Bitighainton, the delegate of
the General Assembly of the Presbyte
rian Church, (N. S.) conveying the cor
dial salutations of that body to the Gen
eral Synod.
It was moved that, the paper be re
ceived and published with the minutes.
The Committee on the Slims of the
Times presented their report. It repre
sented the great Increase of wickedness,
that infidelity is now putting forth
mighty efforts, and dead formalism is
taking the place of a living Christianity
and vital godliness. It recommended the
observance of the usual days of Fasting
and Thanksgiving. Adopted.
The renorta of the, , Eastern, Second
Philadelphia and Northern Presbyteries
were referred to the Committee on Pres
byterial Reports. Synod then adjourned
to meet next morning at 9 o'clock, Rev.
Dr. Douglas concluding by prayer.
Synod met at 9 o'clock and engaged in
devotional exercises for halt an hour,
Rev. S. W. Crawford, D.D., in the chair.
The Moderator then opened the Synod
by prayer. Minutes read and approved.
The report of the Pittabtrz,gh Presbyte
ry was then read and set forth the seces
sion Of certain members of Presbytery.
It was accepted and referred to the Com
mittee on Presbyterial Reports.
The accompanying papers from the Ist
Church, Allegheny City, were also read
and referred to a special committee.
Rev. A. Thomson then presented
the following paper, relating to the case
of the
Whereas, The Synodical Commission
which met in Philadelphia on the 17th
of June, 1868, declared that the Presby
tery of Philadelphia, by suspending re
lations to General Synod had thereby
seceded from her control, and placed
themselves beyond her Jurisdiction; and

the Reformed Presbyterian Church in
North America, and has been recognized

.Resoived,,That General Synod hereby

burgh Presbytery that the members of
the First Church. Allegheny City, Penn
sylvania, and the members of all other
congregations under the care of Presby
tery, who refuse to suspend relations to

porations.
Resolved, That Rev. Geprge Scott, D.
D., Rev. John McMillan and others, who
have suspended relations •to General
Synod, have thereby secefled from her
control, and placed themselves beyond
her jurisdiction.
The paper of Mr. Thomson was adopted
unanimously. This paper fully vindi
cates the cause of those who refused to
suspend relations.
The report of the Western Presbytery
was read. It earnestly recommended
the continuance of negotiations for union
with the United Presbyterian 'Church.
The reports of the Chicago and Ohio
Presbyteries were also read, and all re
ferred to the Committee on Presbyterial
Reports.
The Treasurer's report of the Board of

FOURTH DAT—MORNING SESSION.
Synod met at 9 o'clock and spent half
an hour in devotional exercises, Rey.
John Alford in the Chair.
Resumed business. Minutes read and
approved.
Rev. Dr. Douglas introduced Rev.
William McMillan, the delegate of the
General Assembly •of the Old School
Presbyterian Church. The Stated Clerk
read Mr. McMillan's credentials, and
moved that he be invited to a seat on the
floor of Synod, and proceeded to 'address
the Court at once.'
Mr. Ai cMillan said it afforded him great
pleasure to appear before the respected
General Synod of the' Reformed Preaby
terian Church ase delegate from the Old
School General Assembly of the Preaby
terian Church. They were all one body
although different denominations. They
were regiments in the same gramtarmy,
marching into th n e same tervitoryllo con
quer the same e emy. Facial differences
there were in the human race, but all
were of the same blood. It afforded him
much pleasure to convey to Synod the
Christian salutations of the Church he
represented.
The Moderator responded in a few ap
propriate remarks, and cordially recip
rocated, in the name of Synod, the fra
ternal greetinge the .respected delegate
had conveyed to Synod. •
Proceeded to the consideration
of the report of the Committes on Union.
Dr. McMaster read from the rninntesof
1843, a report signed John Black and
William Wilson, showing that it was
agreed upon in the Convention, by Re
formed Churches, that the name of the.
united church should be, "The United
Presbyterian Church in North America."
Mr. R. C. Miller wished to know what
the effect of the rejection or adoption of
the report would be.
The Moderator replied that the Court
knew the effect as well as he did.
Rev. Mr. Bretton offered an amend
ment, that Synod approve of what the
Committee has done, and that it be con
tinued or a new one appointed.l
Dr. McLeod 'thought Synod should
carefully consider whether the Commit
tee had done their duty, and could give
its approval of what had been done.
Mr. James Stewart, of New York,
could not vote for the report, as the name
"Reformed" was not to be in the official ,
designation of the United church.
Mr. R. C. Miller thought Synod, after
thirty years' negotiations, should be pre
pared to vote Upton aye or no. His for
mer pastor, Dr. John Black, approved of
the whole matter in relation to Union.
Dr. McLeod was of the opinion that Dr.
Black did not approve of the whole mat
ter in relation to Union.
Mr. Isaac Kirkpatrick believed Synod
was prepared to do something now, and
should do it. The matter of Union was
most important. Too much stress per
haps is put on the name. The name is
nothing without principle. •
Dr. Douglas defended the Committee.
They had done all they could. Those
who did not attend should not now com
plain of the labors of those who did.
Union was necessary, and he hoped ne
gotiations would be prosecuted most vig
orously. There was not much in a name.
Bat he would retain the name "Reform
ed" if it could be done, 11 not prepared
for Uniori now,after a courtship of thirty
years. they •never would be prepared.
Union is necessary for the welfareand
prosperity of the Church.
Rev. A. G. Wylie offered the following
substitute:
Beiolved, That while General Synod
approves'of the action of :the Committee
so far as it has proceeded, as the beat
which could be secured in the Conven
tion, and believing that • the - Committee
have used their beet efforts in the matter
committed to their care, and assure,
that the basis, so far as matured . or pro.
jected, is evidently the ultimatum that
we may expect from that respectable
body, (the U. P. Church) they hereby
disapprove of such • action as a basis of
Union, as an entire abandonment of our
whole position as a church, discharge the
Committee, and hoping in the Head of
the Church, and encouraged by thegood
ness of our cause proceed with unity and
vigor in our own appropriate work.
The substitute was not entertained. •
Rev. J. K. Martin moved as a aubsti
tute that the report be taken up - article

Itzssßs. EDmits: The week just
elapsed has been replete with musical
interest. Crowded audiences welcomed
once more the great Norwegian violinist,
and did themselves as much credit as
they did justice to Ole Bull, in receiving
his onderful performanc e with an ap-
Pr ative and flattering ehusiasm.
I , however, there is a rtaln fullness
of delight in seeing the sun in the un
blemished glory of its noon, it cannot be
denied that the,timid tints of dawn, be
side their intrinsic beauty, offer to the
philosophical mind the additional charm
of a promise, the mystic grace insepara
ble from all beginnings. All Pittsburgh
could read last Wednesday the omega of
art at the Academy of Music. To a few
privileged ones, and I am glad 'to have
been of the number, was it given last
Tuesday evening to spell the alpha of
art at the soiree given by Mr. Henry
Sieber in his own house.
As a spur to study for his young
family; and, I dare say% as a recreation
fok• himself. Mr. Bieber conceived' the
idea of taking the other side of the opera
glass in order to reproduce in miniature
glass
operetta of , iLischen and
Fritzchen," which was performed here
a few months ago by Miss Galton's
troupe. Little stage, little decorations,
little curtains, little foot lights, little pro
gramme, little singers. Great perform-
ance withal!
Miss Ida Hither, ten yeara old. Ten
years old Miss Emma Manna. Both
pretty, both beaming with intelligence.
Ida Lischen, much smaller than her lit
tle lover, Emma Frit when, which should
be, of course, in all perfect matches. You
know now the actors. The libretto and
music of the opera belong to the first
manner of Offenbach. before he was in
duced by some deplorable accident of
popularity to prostitute his talent to vul
gar uses. The melodies are fresh,
sprightly, but somewhat difficult on ac
count of the blunt modulations - .which
succeed one another in quick . tempo.
If I were simply to say that our two
little singers did not_ make the slightest
mistake in the dialogue and music, and
rendered their parts without any hesita
tion, the praise assuredly would be suf
ficient for children; but I would not feel .
justified in my own eyes . for, chronicling
this kind of juvenile success in your
columns. The place of babes—be they
ever sd cute—is the nursery. But theirs
was a complete, absolute success, and
their performance,particularly Lischen's.
such an one as to disconcert all the
notions of dramatic experience and Musi
cal training entertained by old teachers
and artiste.
Where did little Ida take that viva
, citrus grace, so free from mannerism and
affectation, and that familiarity with the
taxing requirements of the "boards"?
How can she give such a knowing stress
to words foreign to her mind and heart?'
What has she ever learned of the fitness
of things, of the workings 'of passions?
What power of discrimination makes her
catch the scenic effect at the right place?
Whence can possibly cane the emotional
faculty which subdues her voice with a
touchline tremulousness when she sings
the Darting "farewell"? Perhaps she was
taught by her talented parents? No, the
beer lessons in the world cannot aCCOIII
- such varvels. And in fact, teach
ing was - apparent only in one . or two
of her gestures, one of which, point
ing -to heaven, shows itself -to have
been but an interference. Instinct prob
ably - was her . educator. PahaW!
Instinct belongs to monkeys and parrots,
and is too often extendbd to men by puz
zled ignorance, when anxious to - account
cheaply for' psychological Thenoniena.
No, letns acknowledge it. ' It is the rev
elation of genius, that Divine gift second
only to the creative fiat of God Himself.
f f i
That little girl is a striking instan e of
the bewildering immensity contain in
some .children—innltum in parr(); She
can today be ranked among great ar
tists; - and it is why I mentioned in the.
same page. as really of the same family,
the names of Ole itull and Ida Kleber.

managed Minersville Railway cars, and
take alt venty minutes' ride out Centre

Mr.. F a red. J. Hauck, No. • 233 Centre
avenue. It is a model of neatness and
thoroughly n complete in all its depart
ment. The walls and ceilings are
exquititely painted and frescoed, the
shelving and counters of tasteful patterns
and designs, and the other furnitureis in
equalgood taste. A magnificent foun

watulgushes, is at the entrance, tempt
ing thirsty pedestrians to enter and par
take of the luxury. Mr. Hauck is a fin
ishedlpharmacentist, and presides him

dulterated drugs, the finest of foreign
and American perfumeries, toilet arti
cles, etc. To our readers in that section
we commend Mr. Hauck as a gentleman

Saturday alternoan Mr. A. B. Kerr, the
efficient Supervisor of the First Division,
7
Allegheny Valley Railroad, was agreea
bly surprised by the receipt of an elegant
gold Watch from the employes under his
charge. The pleasant ceremony took
place:at the Rush House, Mr. Charles
Maloy representing the donors in a neat
speech, which was replied to by the
worthy recipient in a few felicitious re
marks. Following the presentation the
company sat down to a bountiful repast
which happily concluded the exercises
of the affair, and served as an additional
feature in rendering the occasion one of
so much interest. The time keeper was
purchased at the establishment of Messrs.
J. R.qteed& Co., a sufficient guarantee
of its superior manufacture and re
liability.
Highway Robbery.
Thomas Gilmore made Information
befoio the Mayor, Saturday, charging
Tho Mas Devine and James Finn with

were drinking together the greater part
of tbe day. Toward evening they got
into light when, the prosecutor alleges,
his silver watch, valued at fifty dollars
was (taken out of his pocket. Devine
was arrested and committed to jail for a
hearing. Finn has not been arrested yet
but the officers are in search of hint.

and, incendiaries. Wednesday night last

powder anti money and goods to the
amount several hundred dollars taken.
On the saute night Rickets' clothing

Domestic Trouble. \A.
John Lang was brought before ider
man Bolster, of 'Allegheny, charged with
defeertion and abandbnment, .on oath of
hittWife, Mary. The parties, it seems,
have not lived very happily together,
owing, it is alleged by Mary, to the
jealousy of her husband. John -'on the
other hand, alleges he never refused to
support his wife until she aeparated her
self from him and went- =back to the
paternal mansion. As lliere is a suit
pending
,between the parties the case .was
dlimissed.
