Rev. Dr. Howard, placed a beautiful
boquet of t ilowers upon the tomb of the
fallen hero, after 'which the battalon
was divided into four' Companies,
under the command of Captains
Silvy, Hunter, Haven and Berger,
and under the direction of Mr. Chislett
were dispatched to different quarters of
the cemetery, in which over twelve hark-
• dre&who died that their country might
, live, are , buried. Through the vigilance
of the committee appointed - for the intr.
pOse evert, grave had been desig
nated with demall flag, and upon every
, one so marked was placed a wreath or
boquet by the hand off some surviving
comrade. While the members were
thus engaged, the nigh y throng of peo
ple who had entered he "silent city,"
each bearing a "floral token" of .remem
brance to some . departed friend, wan
dered promiscuously over the vast and
beautiful grounds, and strew their offer
ings with a liberal hand over the graves
of departed friends.
uNIONDALE CEMETERY.
.
• After the Second DIVidOEI had passed,
the First reformed and countermarched
by way of Wayno and Liberty streets to
Sixth (late St. Clair), along which they
moved and crossed the Suspension
bridge. While proceeding up Federal
street they were joined by a band of
Orphans numbering about two hundred
from the Allegheny and Pittsburgh
Orphan Asylum. Along the line ottheir
march, from pnblio buildings and pH
-nate houses, flags, wreaths, flowers and
sympathizing thrtritga.of spectators, evi
denced the feeling with which tle cere
monies were received. -
Their route lay up Federal street,
along-lorth -avenue, thence by line of
Pleasant Valley Railway and New Brigh
ton road to Uniondale Cemetery. the
liilldale Branch of which they visited
first. The entrance to this was beauti
fully decorated with two large silk flags
drooping gracefully from an arch-way
draped -In everirreens, crape, and flowers.
On the right was a portrait of Washing
ton, on the left a portrait of Lincoln, and
over the centre a representation of Presi
dentLincoln'sdeathbed. In front of all;
ektended klittle forward, was the motto,
in evergreen letters,
"rn Honor of our Patriot Dead."
Upon arriving at this gate the orphans
were divided and ranged in a line on
either side, and the remainder of those
marching in the ranks, with colors re
versed and heads uncovered, moved into
the interior to the music of a solemn
dirge from the band. In the centre of
the beautiful "God's acre" the proces-
sion was halted and the members sought
the graves of friends and relatives to
express the feeling which had possession
of all hearts, in the beautiful language
of flowers. Over sixty graves were
-strewn with the _pure emblems in this
cemetert, and dearly an equal number
in the Other branch, The ceremonies in
*Hilldale being concluded, Mount Union
• was visited and the same ceremonies ob
served. The entrance to this was deco
rated in a neat and tasteful mannerond
presented an exceedingly fresh and ap
proprlide appearance. tiiiiondale, in
both branches, Was crowded with
relatives or friends of the burled
braves, and none came without - a
floral offering which made the air red
olent with-a rich perfume. The- scenes
which were witnessed,±as the survivors
gathered around the graves of the dear
departed, and recalled the memories of
the loved ones who can never more ro
. turn, were affecting and sacred in the
ektreme, and caused the tears to flow
freely from many eyes not used to weep
_ ing.
The .ceremonies .',over the procession
was dismissed at the cemetery, and came
back to the city in cOmpanies and groups,
at the will of those in command.
TSB BOUTS BIDE GRAVES.
The Third-Division, reformi rig on Penn
street after the departure of the others,
- ioroceeiled along Wayne, down Liberty.
along Smithfield streets, and over the
Mocongehela bridge, from whence it pro.:
milled to the several cemeteries. ,Along
the line of march, additions were made
to its numbers by delegations from
. from the Sunday Schools and Pub
lii3 Schools, whilt a large crowds
of Interested men, women and
children followed in the - rear. St. Mi
chaels 'Cemetery on the Brownsville road
was first visited, when the graves iwere
strewn; While the children, under the
leadership of Prof. J. A. Jones, sang Bev-.
eral appropriate songs. The Methodist
graveyard, Hershberger's and Zimmer
man's were next visited in Order., and
similar ceremonies gone throbgh with,
after which Lieutenant David Jones, with
a delegation, proceeded to Concord
Churchyard to decorate the graves of
several soldiers burled there, while the
xemidhfier of the company dispersed to
their homes, with renewed remembran_
ces of love and affection for the gallant he
roes by whom the nation was preserved,

"How solemn yet how grand."
The citizens of the thriving village or
Mansfield performed the solemn cere
mony, of decorating the graves of the
hrive soldiers who fell in defence oftheir
`'homes and firesides, with a more than
usual demonstration of loyalty ; and
ndenti. The scene was the grandest
and most soletou..that it has ever been
our fortune to Witness. • _
Early in the morning the citizens were
to be seen hastening•to the O. B. Presby
terian; church iadened with Sowers of:
every desciiption atut-color.
At PON:loot A. M. l when the Immense
tong had assembled, ,au appropriate .
song was sung by “The Village Choir:"
:suer which sprayer was cored by the
Rev. J. A. lilnodgrass. A short address
was than dell:Med -by Rev.! Wairing,
:atter which ahymn was sung. by •-„tbo
choir.
'' " ' -•,
The procession formed underiailip
stand of W.J.kordichter marshal;iihe
••. . •
`J A. Dunbar and A. GI. Negley, 'Mei&
tent Marshals. The van consisted of the
"Boys in Blue," from Scott and adjoining
:townships, under command of Captain
Harry Lea, forming a large and fine-look
ing company. This band of returned
warriors assembled, many of them under
difficult circumstances, to perpetuate the
memory of their comrades who fell bat
tling for liberty oh the sunny plains of
the South.
After the soldiers came the children of
the Sabbath and Public Schools,dressed in
gala costume , and their faces bright with
smiles. They numbered near two hun
dred. They were followed by the stu
dents of Linnean Acidemy, under com
mand of Prof. Dickson, these being ladies
and gentlenian, and many of the teach
ers, made a very law appearance. The
citizens of Scott and adjoining townships,
under W. G. Bighorn, brought up the
rear of the procession. There were at
least five hundred persons in the pro
cession.
On reaching the Cemetery an earnest
prayer was offered by Rev. Watring.
After which an elaborate oration was de
livered by Rev. Snodgrass, recalling the
memories of his comrades in arms to
the times of yore when they fought to
gether and lay aide tip side on the torrid
plains of the South, also reminding the
audience they had a duty Jo perform to
the orphans of , those whose memory they
were perpetuating.
The flowers were strewn upon the
graves by the . soldiers and children.
Each grave with cnoice flowers. "Sixteen
graves were thus decorated, after which
the proeesaion returned to Mansfield and
was dismissed at the charch, all satisfied
they had performed a duty which in
after years as sweet memory recalls the
many duties they have- performed, they
can say the sweetest and most solemn
duty ever fulfilled was strewing with
flowers the soldiers' graves.
The procession on Saturday afternoon
found it impossible, owing to its distance
from the main line of march to visit the
German Graveyard on Troy Hill. There
are about a dozen soldiers burled in this
quiet spot, and - yesterday afternoon, in
order that they might not be forgotten,
their friends, headed by the German
Turners and several singing societies,
formed a procession' and proceeded
thither. At the Cemetery a beautiful
memorial hymn, prepared for the occa
sion, was sung by the children. The
graves were then decorated with the fresh
bright flowers, after which Rev. Seidel
ling delivered a touching eulogium in
memory of the deceased. The proces
sion did not reform, but the company
after remaining in the Vicinity for several
hours, returned in parties, to their re
spective homes.
As a fitting and appropriate finale, in
compliaUce with the request of the. Com
mittee, nearly an the ministers In the
vicinity held religious services In their
churches yesterday, especially commem
orative of the memorial occasion. The
attendance upon these exercises was un
usually large, and gave further testimo
ny to the feeling of deep interest perva
ding the community in the matter. The
discourses were marked with earnest
and practical thoughts, and in a very
credible degree, evinced the fervent pat
riotism with which our ministry are an
nimated. We regret that it is impossible
for us to lay before our readers a synop
sis of Berne of them which were worthy
of a mare extended circulation than even
that provided by the large audiences to
which they were delivered.
The Great Hall Storm at Wheeling.
The brief announcement which the tel
egraph made of the terrific hail storm
which visited Wheeling on Friday after
noon, gave no proper idea of its magnifi
cent proportions. The day opened bright
and balmy, but at three o'clock it the af
ternoon, says the Infelligencer, a dark
and heavy cloud, apparently a short dis
tance above the earth, overcast the sky,
and the atmosphere became close and
stifling. - All at once a terrific blast of
wind burst and swept everything before
it. Thadust was so thick and blinding
that nothing could be seen for a few
seconds, but when the large and heavy
drops of rain had laid the drifting dirt,
the scene was one of terrible yet peculiar
significance. Not a moment was
allowed to merchants for removing the
goods which were in front of their stores,
or the housekeepers for closing blinds,
doors or shutters and these moveables,
together with ro ofs, timbers, chimneys,
etc., were flying in every direction,
as if
an earthquake had shaken the city from
the foundation. Before, the wind bad
ceased, and it
,did not last but a mo
ment, the rain had changed to hall,
which rattled against the winders for a
`moment' and then perforated the Wags as
the lerrips of congealed water grew In
size. The sound upon the pavements
and the roofs was like the rapid firing of
musketry, and so great was the force of
the stones that shbtters were smashed
and even the window sashes beaten and
broken to pieces. Not only this bui the
walls across the rooms from the windows
were. indented and the plastering in
some cases beaten off to the solid ma
sonry.
When the storm was at its highest
fury. the hall stones were of the size of
a man's clenched fiat and solid as cants•
ter balls, which they very much resem
bled in appearance, They were in most
oases nearly round, being slightly Sat-.
toned on two sides like an apple, with
small holes or indentations resembling
tho. Place where the stem joins the core ,
on one aide. The streetti in the lower
portionof the city or that part nearest
the river were covered to the depth of a
foot with these wonderful balls of ice,'
and every window facing the north,
from which direction the storm came,'
are filled with brok en p en e s .
No loam of life bitt'-grest damage to

It is an established fact that the Epis
copal Church, in this comniunity, is en
larging its borders,, wadi growing in.
numbers, wealth and petVer 4 The causes
may be traced to,several sources, besides
the. usual natural growth attending any
vigorous communion, and' the acquisi
tion of wealth by its members
and adherents. Foremost among the
causes of ' this - prosperity is the
ignoring of the principles of, cen
tralization of . wealthy members and
active workers, except in a limited de
gree. This principle has been seen in
the case of other religious bodies here,
and the practical results are the same.
Weak members have been strengthened
and made prosperous. The augmenta
tion of wealth, too, has had much to do
vvitn the upholding of the Episcopal
church in this city. The erection of St.
Peters, St. James, and several beautiful
edifices in the rural districts, now em
--braced in our consolidated - city, the re-
Modeling of Christ Church, Allegheny,
and rebuilding of St. Andrews, and the
grand project just commenced by Trinity
church, are evidences of growing power
as a church.
To whin extent the erection of this end
of the State into a separate Diocese and
the elevation of Dr. Kerfoot to the Epis
copate, has had to do with this rapid
growth of late years, we are unprepared
to state, but we believe that the increas
ing labors, in the ramifications of the
Church, Bishop Kerfoot, are produ
cing a tic fruitage. When so much
labor has been bestowed, and, system
employed, in diocesan movements, the
results cannot be otherwise than favor
able to the growth and prosperity of the
Church.
Christ Church, Alllegheny, in by gone_
years labored, under serious disadvanta
ges, which greatly hindered the growth of
the congregation. However, under the
faithful Rectorship of the venerable Dr.
Page—enjoyed a good degree of prosper
ity and the congregation re-modle the
church edifice.- - " After a liberal outlay of
money, the old structure has been thor
oughly modernized and beautified
throughout. It is now an ornament to
She city in its eligible location. The
venerable Dr. Page in retiring from the
Rectorship Of the Church. after a long
and honorable ministry, Las much to
congratulate himself on such a happy
termination of his active ministry.
Quite recently the Rev. B. F. Brooke,
formerly of Baltimore, but more recently
of Memphis, Tenn., has entered upon the
duties of the Rectorship of this Church.
Some years ago this divine visited Pitts
burgh to reopen a prominent church, and
made hosts of friends by his' excellent
sermons on that occasion. Since his ar
rival in Allegheny, some weeks ago, he
has amply demonstrated his ability as a
pulpit speaker. Mr. Brooke is a ready
speaker, reads wells, possesses a capital
voice, graceful in gesture, and a gentle
man of much sauvity in his manners.
His discourses are carefully prepared,
terse, and vigorous in style and argu
ment, sufficiently glowing to make them
attractive.
Mr. Brooke has just closed a series of
threeh discourses, on Sunday - evenings,
I on the subject of Intmortatily, which at
tracted large audience., including visi
tors Irvin other denominations. Inilis-
cussing this gfeat subject, one of the pH-
lam of the-Christian religion, be elabo
rated :and illustrated, at considerable
length, the following propositions: I.
Immortality is a natural hope. 2. Im
mortality is a philosophical problem. 3.
Immortality is a revealed truth. It is
nature's instinct, the philosopher's con
jecture, the Christian's verity. The
idea Is the poetry of feeling, the problem
of reason the basis orrevelation. In con
sidering the first he argued that the idea
had always lived, and the time
never Was when from the anxious heart
of a tearful humanity there came not up
in accents half hopeful, half desponding,
the fearful question, "If a man die shall
he live again l'." As to the origin of this
idea, he showed the views of Homer,
Virgil, Plato and others, but argued, put
all the sayings of these great men to
gether, and what do they prove It not that
man is immortal, but that an every
where believes in, desires and expects im
mortality, that it is a natural andinatinc.
live &pc. Passages of great ehuty and
massive thought abounded, in discussing
the proposition.
The reverend speaker a umed the
ground in discoursing upon framer
f
tality as a philosophica l.prob , that no
more philosophical argument ever have
produced a satisfactory demo stration of
the soul's immortality; but u the con.:
trary. human philosophy has often
doubted, and denied the doctrin altogether.
It was argued that any argu ent cannot
be produced from modern phi osophy fur
the soul's immortality which ay not be
found in the ancient. The Rr, au orator
asserts, "since the nature of ti e mind is
simple, nor can be divided, it cannot be
destroyed," and yet he added, "I do not
say this Is infallible, I speak only con
jecture." No man can say that the
soul,' l ls an immaterial substatic outside of
the Bible, and suppose it coul be proved
to be immaterial, would not ecessarily
prove It to be immortal.. In tbe further
discussion of this part he showed that the
philosophical reasoning rests mainly on
the idea that the soul is naturally im
mortal—immortal by constitution, by in
herent properties of its own; that God has
pnt.upon it marks of endless 1 duration,
and that once existing, it must exist for.
ever. He contended It itt . the will of God'
s r
to continue the existence he h s given.
The second discoursa was m filly • de-,
voted to the doctrine of therm rection„
in which the reverend gentleman assumes _
that the idea of immortality could never
be realized by the human mind apart
from the resurrection. Immortality is
shown to be exclusively a revealed truth:
and not susceptible of 'any proof hem
the principles of natural reason, and is
based upon the fact that Christ is the life
of the soul, as he is the resurrection of
the body. . ,
The closing discourse was on Immor
tality as a Source of Chriatian Consola
tion. - We wish our epee would allow
us to give the unanswerable arguments
in . favor of this doctrine as a source of
rich consolation to.. Christians,.) The
speaker in closing, was touchingly, ela
glint on the grand ' theme, and left a.
fine impression on the vast throng. ;

It is useless for us to attempt any cal
culation as to the relative chances df any
of the aspiring candidates for nomina
tion, as many of the delegates are unin
structed, and the returns are meagre.
We can all patiently await the re
sults of the conventions to-morrow, in
the meantime hoping that only the best
men may triumph.
Musical Note.—Mka Theresa McKen
na, who made such a profound sensation
by her exquisite vocalism at a recent
public concert in this city, was unex
pectedly called to New York, her home,
on Saturday, and left on the evening
train. Axragernents on a liberal scale
were being made to tender her a grand
complimentary concert, but as she was not
aware of the fact, and has taken her de
parture, Pittsburgh is deprived of the
pleasure of thus honoring the brilliant
and pleasing vocalist who so rapidly won
her way Into public favor.
