PSALMODYVTESTION. ,
The 'following paper was presented to
Synod: We, members of Cedarville Con
gregation and others, believing and re
cognizing the Met, that there nu ÜbCa
and now is I arp. honest differenCe
of opinion with our people on , the
Psalmody question; and believing• far
ther, as we do, that there are those in.
the Church who have in times past, and
who will in times to come, out of loNe..to
Christ, their Saviour, and .love to his
children, brethren of other Christian de
npminations, have sung, and who will
sing with honest hearts, other porti:.ns
of Scripture than the one hundred And
fifty Psalms, matter of praise in the W.31'..
ship of God, We therefore humbly but.
most ) earnestly pray your respected and
venerable body to take such action in
the premises as you in your judgment
mey'think necessary to make it a matter
ofChristian forbearance with all such
ith love to you and all Atte subjec
tion in the Lord; we, your petitioners,
commend you.in all 'your deliberations
to the favor of a merciful God. .
On motion, the paper was received and
the parties pi esenting it were referred`to
the minutes of 1866 and 1888.
The report of the Board of Foreign
Missions recommended the organization
of the Board; that New York be the seat
of operations, and that the Treasurer be
a resident -of that State; that General
Synod hereby soliitits subscriptions to
the Mission, and request they be Ibr
warded there to the Treasurer that' may
be appointed by tovnod. •
Oh motion the iodation' and appoint
ment of a Treasurer 'were left to the dis
cretion of, the Board. The paper as
amended was then adopted - as • a whole.
J. C. McMillan, Esq., was appointed to
receive contributions to defray expenses
of the Committee on Union.;
Minutes of the session were then read
throughout, and after devotional ser
vices Synod adjourned to meet in Cin
cinnati, Ohio, on the third Wednesday
of May. 1870, at half peat seven o'clock,
to be opened with a sermon by the Mod
eratorl Rev. M. Harshaw, Rev. N. Wood
side his alternate.
OPERA HOUSE.—Blanche and Ella
Chapman, the pleasing actresses, who
have for_ the past week afforded so much
enjoyment to the amusement going pub
lic, took a joint benefit. The house was
filled with a large and , fashionable audi
ence; and the entertainment was all that
could be desired. At the matinee this
afternoon ~A lladin" and the . "Quiet
Family" will be presented, and, this
evening, which closes the engagement
of the Chapman • Sistors in this city,
"Forty Thieves" and "The You'th who
never saw a Woman," will constitute the
bill.
PYTTSBERGH THEATRE.—Tha benefit
tendered to Messrs. Hay's and atook, am
the Pittsburgh Theatre, last night, was
just as it should have been, a decidedly
substantial one. •The house was filled
from pit to dome. The entertainment
was an excellent one. The matinee this
afternoon and the entertainment to.night
will present new and varied attractio::.s
to these in search of fun.
Thomas Brown and Deborah Haworth
are neighbors, residimr in Chaniers
township. Deborah keeps a small sa
loon, which Thomas complained af,as be
ing.
tbe resort of a set of noisy unruly
Characters, who trespassed upon his
property adjoining and caused him con
siderable annoyance. Deborah felt dis
pleased at these complaints of Thomas.
and according to. his allegations, threat
ened to scald his eyes out and burn his
house down. Alderman MoMasters is
sued a warrant for the arrest of Deborah
at the instance of Thomas. -
Yesterday Afternoon officer Nixon ,
ar
rested. three more trespassers on the
Allegheny Park. They were boys. Not
content- with walking through the
pounds by the regular paths, they, were
detected tramping over the flower bids
and , learing up the plants. They were
fined five dollars and costs by the Mayor.
As las been heretofore said, we think
the line in a case of this kind should be
much heavier.
East Liberty Concert.—We are told
that the four pieces of Rosisini'a tiMesse
Solennelle," which will be sung at Mr.
C. Tetedoux's Concert next Thursday,
June 3d, are among the best to be found
in the great work of the great Maestro:
Dentine, solo for tenor; Qiionkses, solo for
bassi; quit totlie, 'duet for sophrano and
contralto; Grasias, trio for Contralto,
tenor and bass. Interpreted, as they l are
to be, by splendid voices end highly cul
tivated talent, they will certainly Meet
in, the, appreciative public of East Lib
erty with something of the enthusiastic
success which they are now achlevink in
all the large cities of Europe.'
