of the inst. At the time the fire was

There was no insurance, and the loss will

body ! The Mayor promptly interposed his
veto, assigning, among other reasons, that
good, true, and competent men can be
found who will discharge the duties of Coun
cilmen without any such fie or reward.
The members of this body must be content,
for the present, at least, with the public
dinners voted at the expense of the city for
private gratification, and the patronage with
in the reach of their official fingers.
The Democratic Opponents 'of the Le

The bill now before Congress, Limiting
the Number of Passengers to be carried by

The destruction of human life, by worthless

Mr. Randall, Superintendent of Common
Schools, has published an able reply to
Archbishop Hughes, who had publicly main
tained that Religious Influences are neces
sarily excluded from the common school
system. Mr. Randall proves that there is
nothing in the syatem itself, nor in the laws
under which it is established to make such
an exclusion necessary. The public schools
of this city have been generally opened
by the recitation of the Lord's prayer.
However, this has been forbidden within a
short time, in one of them. And it ban
lately become a question of much import
ance, to know whether the means of moral
and religious instruction allowed under the
system, are faithfully applied. For it is
almost certain that the moral and religious
culture of the public schools, is all that
will be enjoyed by many thousands of the
pupils.
Public attention has been much awakened
with respect to the Observance of the Sab
bath. The secular papers are exerting an
influence in the right direetion, to a much
greater extent than was anticipated. Among
others, the Tribune speaks out boldly on the
subject, and in favor of the laws with regard
to the proper observance of the day.
The Gift Book Enterprises are also re

being made known. In principle, they differ

Revivals in Clarion Presbytery.
'CLABIor►, February 20, 1858.
REV. DAVID kr KINNEY, D.D.:—Dear
Sir:: --411 looking over your valuable paper
of this date, I 'find mention made of revi
vals in several of our churches in the neigh.
'boyhood of your city. And as it is bat
right that mention should be made of these
precious outpourings of the Spirit, for the
encouragement of others, I feel it a duty to
communicate to you the fact that our little
(and it is truly a feeble,) church in Clarion
has been greatly blessed. At our last com
munion, twenty seven new members were
admitted to the communion of the church
upon profession of their faith. Of this
number, nine were fathers and heads of
families, and have all erected the family altar
in their hciuse,
The special services connected with the
occasion lasted two weeks, and were con
ducted by the Rev. David M'Cay, of Cal
lenaburg and the pastor. A goodly number
who have not yet united with us, are under
serious impressions, and we hope that on
our approaching communion they will see
their way clear to the table of the Lord.
I had hoped that our pastor would have
given you an account of this revival him
self, but he is now absent, and has been most
of the time since.
Yours, truly, ROBERT SUTTON.
P. S.—l have opened 'my letter to men
tion that fifteen persons have been lately ad
ded to Mill Cre9k church, a feeble little
missionary church of but eighteen mem
bers, about eight miles North-East of this
place. There is no pastor there, and the
entire services were conducted by our pas
tor, Rev. James Montgomery.
I have also heard from a reliable source,
that twenty.seven were added to the church
of Bethesda, in this Presbytery, at their
late communion, but I have no doubt you
will hear of this froin other sources.

COMMITTEE ROOMS,
ST. Louis, Feb. 15th, 1858.
The Assembly's Church Extension Com
mittee ask attention to the following facts
respecting the work of aiding feeble churches
to build their houses of worship, viz.: .
1. The appropriations of ,the Committee
now exceed their means in hand about eight
thousand dollars. The ordinary receipts
will meet these appropriations as they fall
due, but we do not feel authorized to antici
pate our ;Dome any farther. We cannot,
therefore, make any more appropriations to
churches, until the treasury is replenished.
2. The receipts of the present year are
more than four thousand dollars less than
the receipts of the corresponding period of
last year. This falling off, we are satisfied,
is owing to the hard times, since the number
of contributing churches has increased;
and the loss is in the contributions of a few
churches specially affected by the commercial
panic.
3. The amount of aid aslced for thus far
this year, is larger than the amount asked
for during the whole of last year. The
monetary crash last Fall caught many church
es in the midst of their building operations,
and so crippled a number of congregations
that, in ordinary times, could have finished
unaided, that they were forded to ask help to
enable them to meet their contracts, and
save their houses from the sheriff.
4. Cl4Urches seldom become permanent or
prosperous without a sanctuary of their own.
Of the sixty-two churches in our connexion,
reported as having died out in the last five
years, fifty-three, or more than five•sixths,
had no house of worship. On the other
hand, not one of the more than five hundred'
churches aided during the last thirteen
years from the Church Extension Fund, is
known to have perished.
5. The appropriations of the Committee
have been remarkably enicient in securing
unincumbered sanctuaries for feeble church
es. We have frequently been surprised •to
Soil how much a small sum promised to be
paid, when it will complete the house free
from debt, has encouraged God's people to
renewed effort, and stimulated the surround
ing community to increased liberality. The
Church Extension Enterprise. was, there
fore, correctly described by an . eminent
jurist, as " one that appealed most strongly
to the sanctified judgment of intelligent
men."
6, The mark of the Committee has been
chiefly among the very needy. This appears,
from the fact, that the churches aided, were
generally very small. During the two years
and a half the present Committee have been
at work, they have made appropriations to
one hundred and ninety-one churches. Fully
one-half of these had less than thirty mem
bers, and only thirty-five had over fifty
members. The inexpensive character of
the houses built, also proves the same thing.
Though building, materials have, in many
places, been very high, only forty of the
•ne hundred and ninety-one churches, cost
over twenty-five hundred dollars.
The great need of most of the applicants
is, however, best evidenced by the sacrifices
they make. Some write us that they have
delayed securing " comfortable shelters for
their families," and others "suitable clothing
for themselves, that the house of God might
arise." Especially have many of our min
isters made fearful sacrifices of time, and
health, and means, in church building. A
specimen of their sacrifices will be found in
the Home and Foreign Record for March,
1858, under the head, "Not a cent to pay
postage with." It is because it greatly re
lieves our overburdened and overworked
missionaries, that the Church Extension
Enterprise most deeply enlists our 'sympa
thies.
7. From all the facts we 0811 gather, we
are compelled to believe that one fifth of all
the churches of our denomination are with
out a house of worship. From less than
two•tbirds of our Presbyteries, we have re
ceived the names of four hundred and fifty
such churches.
8. The Committee have never bad a sala
ried collecting agent, and their fiscal year
closes March 31st, 1858.
These facts constrain the Committee to ask
help from all who can give it. Will not all
those whom God has blessed with large
means devise liberal things for this branch
of Christian effort, and those lees gifted
cause the riches of their liberality to , abound
out of their deep poverty. To the twenty.

Rim. Da. MalltswEr.—Dear Brother :--The
question is often asked, " Are the people on mis
sionary ground doing all they can to support the
Gospel among themselves 2"
That many congregations are not, Is doubtless
too true, but that the vast majority, especially in
the West, are doing nobly, many a grateful mis
sionary can attest.
The following is an instance of no rare occur
rence. Some two weeks ago, the people whom I
serve, with a few other kind friends, gavi us a
donation worth some $6O or $6O, $22.60 of which
was in cash.
During our seventeen months of labor in this
particular field, we have received many presents
in themselves valuable ; and to us the more so,
because we believe they came from honest, grate
ful hearts.
Whilst, therefore, we gratefully acknowledge
the kindness of our friends,.it is hoped that this
'brief notice may tend to convince members of old
and wealthy churches, that their brethren in the
West, though few in number, and in many in
stances poor, are acting their part . nobly, and
hence ought to be assisted by them through the
channel of our Domestic) Board.

Musical Convention.
At a Musical Convention, held in Freeport,
Armstrong County, Pa., commencing on the 6th
nit., a Committee was appointed to draft resolu
tions expressive of the feelings of those interested.
The followidg is their report ;
A class, composed of the citizens of the borough
and vicinity, having obtained the services of Prof.
S. H. Nott, of Sardinia, N. Y., an adept in music,
and having waited upon his instructions with
much profit, during a term of twelve lessons, at
the close of which a Convention, which had been
previously called, assembled and continued in
'session during the space of four days. A very
respectable number of strangers from the sur.
'rounding country, all lovers of music, were pres
ent, and contributed to the enjoyment of the oc
casion. Great ability and skill, were manifested
'on the part of the leader, in conducting the exer
.eises of such Conventions. The last two evenings
public concerts were given; the house being filled
both evenings with spectators who evinced, by
,their undivided attention, an appreciation of the
performances as well as an admiration of the per
formers. The music seemed to be of the first
order; consisting of Church Musio, the Cantata
of Esther, Anthems, Glees, Solos, Quartettes,
Chorus Singing, Ao. These, in the judgment of
the Committee, were performed in a style never
before excelled in this community ; therefore,
Resolved, That the instructions of Professor
Nott relative to the Science of Music. the Intona
tions of the Voice, the different kinds of Church
Music, Chanting, Anthem, Chorus and Glee Sing
ing, have been entirely satisfactory; and his abil
ity, as a Music Teacher, is sufficient to recom
mend him to the favorable regard of all lovers of
music.
Resolved, That the thanks of the class be, and
they are hereby tendered to those ladies and gen
tlemen, from Pittsburgh and Kittanning, who
favored us with their presence and assisted in
Convention • to Miss Goodall, who performed with
such marke d abilit,y on the Melodeon; and, also,
to Miss Nott, whose enchanting and fascinating
style of singing, at times moved the audience to
involuntary bursts of applause, and again held her
auditors in breathless silence and even melted
them into tears. •
R.esolved, That the thanks of the class be ex
tended to the Trustees of the church for the use
of their house ; also to the citizens of the borough
for their hospitality toward persons from a die
tame, present on this occasion.
Beaolved, That these resolutions be published
in the Presbyterian Banner and Advocate.

Young Men's Library Association.
- Mr. Prentice, of Louisville, lectured before the
Young Men, and a good audience, on Saturday
evening. We had heard and read much of the
lecturer, and had made up our mind as 'to how
we were likely to be entertained. But we were
greatly mistaken. We expected some good, hearty
laughs, and found nothing provocative of more
than a moderate smile. We were disappointed
both in regard to vivacity and wit. There was
mind, much mind, and the evidence of reading
and thought; but there was a severity, a gloomi
ness, and a foreboding of evil not at all in accord
ince with our taste, nor justified by the condition
of public affairs. From our boyhood, in the days
of Madison—for we began to notice political af
fairs very early in life, and have marked them
with interest ever since, though we never aspired
to position nor bound ourselves to party—then,
and oft since, we heard the corruption of govern
ment and the deep designs of politicians set ,
forth, and the imminent peril of the country
dwelt upon, unlaw certain measures were carried,
or,-if certain men were chimers to office; but the
country still stands and prospers. And now, not
withstanding. all the deep and dark corruption
about the fountains of law and the issues of pow
er, and maugre the superlative selfishness of sun
dry politicians, and the blinding and maddening
influence of sectional and party spirit, we still
have no fears for the Republic. There is yet vir
tue in the people. We have yet schools and
Bibles. We have a free pulpit and an untram
meled press. These we have, and while we have
the virtue to use them, the country will be safe.
Mr. Prentice exhibited much talent, and deep
earnestness. He was listened to most attentively
throughout his lecture. He presented facts worth
knowing, and tendencies to evil which should be
contemplated. He exhibited views of things
which should be taken by those who would /earn
well their duty ; and our young men, intelligent
and discriminating will be the better prepared, by
their having heard him, properly to fill their posi
tion. 1
Crossing Penn Street.
The City Councils have passed an ordinance
granting the right of way to the Pittsburgh, Ft.
Wayne and Chicago Railroad, over Penn Street;
but the terms are so stringent and onerous that
there is but little likelihood that the Company
will accept them. The road has a law from the
Legislature authorizing its junction with • the
Pennsylvania Road on Liberty Streek.which im
plies the crossing of Penn, and the subject is be
fore the Court, on a request for an order to enjoin

A Hotel Burned.
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20.—The I , acifto Hotel was
burned at 3 o'clock this morning. About' one
blinded persons were in the honk, between forty
and fifty of whom are missing. The fire caught
in the drag store under the Hotel, and the flames
spread AO rapidly, before the inmates could be
roused, that the stairways were enveloped by the
fire, and all egress was out off, except by the win
dows. Many leaped from the third story, and
were horribly mangled or instantly killed, and
many more were unable even to reach the Win..
dliws; and were burned in their rooms.
The absorbing question, in both houses of the
National Legislature, is still Kansas, or more
definitely the Lecompten Constitution, or, more
definitely still, with many, supremacy and the
spoils. There are statesmen who are governed
by a sense of rigLt, and a love of country; but
these noble traits do not always shine resplen
dent, even in the few. There is so much of par
tizanship, and of desire for office, and for the re
tention or the acquisition of power and influence,
that patriotism and principle are deeply obscured.
It woe noted, Inst week, that in the House the
Lecompton Constitution with the accompanying
message from the President, was given to a Com
mittee of fifteen, to inquire whether that docu
ment was really an emenation from the people of
Kansas, and whether they really desired to be
organized into a State with that as their funda
mental law. The Committee was constituted by
Mr. Speaker Orr, not in accordance with Parlia
mentary usage. He made the mover the Chair
man, but he did not give him, and the House
which voted with him, a majority in the Commit
tee. Hence his bands are completely tied. He
can examine no witnesses, and send for no pa
pers. The Committee stands, seven for, and
eight against' the investigation desired, and hence
nothing can be done. How long they will stand
at a dead lock, cannot be conjectured ; and what
measures the House will take, is doubtful. The
parties are so nearly balanced, and the prize at
stake is estimated so highly, that every movement
is taken with the greatest caution.
The Senate Committee on Territories reported
favorably on the Constitution. All the efforts of
Judge Douglas to procure an investigation, simi.
lar to that aimed at in the Renee, were fruitless.
He presented a minority report, very long, and
ably written, the purport of which was, that the
instrument before them did not express the wish
of the people of the Territory; and recommend
ing an enabling act, by which, on a fair and full
vote, a Convention might be called to form a Con
stitution to be submitted to a popular election.
J. M. Joms.
Messrs. Coßimer and Wide also submitted a
minority report, presenting Republican views.
The subject has not yet been acted upon. The
Leoompton majority in the Senate is large, and
they can do as they please ; but they will have
some respect to the probability of their bill get
ting through the House, and it is likely that they
will not press its passage exactly in the shape in
which it was reported from the Committee, but
that an amendment will be offered from that aide,
andtdoubtless adopted, declaring that 41 nothing
in the Constitution shall be construed or held to
interfere with the right of the people to alter,
amend or modify it at pleasure." Such an
amendment would accord with the President's
views of the people's right, as expressed in his
message, and would serve, in some degree, to
conciliate favor. It seems also that Gen. Cal
houn has almost discovered 'that there was a
fraudulent return from an election precinct, and
has written to Gen. Denver to ascertain the fact.
If he should become satisfied of this; and issue
certificates of election as the•Ransans'claim, and
if the amendment above noted ehould be adopted,
Lecbmpton may win the day; provided that the
President's friends shall still 'cohere ; but if, as
is intimated, the extreme Skill ehould then op
pose, there may yet be difficulties.
The Army .Bill still lingers in the Senate. Par
ties seem to fear the expense, and to have their
doubts about the uses to which it may be applied.
The Treasury is not empty, though pretty low.
Upwards of four millions in treasury notes have
been issued. The revenue improves but slightly.
Several Duels are pending in l'irashington ; one
between Messrs. Clay and 'Cullom ; one between
Gen. Harney and Col. Sumner, of the Army; and
one between Ex-Lieut. Ithind'and Com. Boutwell

who bad posted the Commodore its a coward, has

There has been received tiro week's later news

IL new Liquor Bill has been offered in the

pipes. Some fifteen persons bad assembled in
the basement of the church for the puriose of
holding meeting, when a strong odor was observed.
Efforts were mode to discover the leakage of the
gas. Light was applied to the metre, when a
blaze burst forth, but was extinguished by a
bucket of water. Quiet had been somewhat re
stored, when a tremendous explosion 000urred,
tearing up the floor, shattering the walls, and
making a perfect wreck of the entire basement.
In thu upper part of the church half the pews
were torn up, windOws blown out, and portions
of the floor blown as high as the ceiling. The
doors were blown off their hinges and forced into
the street. The explosion was heard a distance
of half a mile. The windows of many of the
houses in the vicinity were destroyed. Eight or

are not expected to recover.

abled to soy, that it is in every sense what it pro
fesses to be, and we do not hesitate to pronounce
it the finest preparation for the bead and hair
which has so far been devised by human ingenu
ity. We have seen it arrest threatened baldness,
and restore to the head its original profusion of
natural glossy hair, and when the latter has been
prematurely tinged with gray, we have seen it,
like magic, restore the colors of youth and health.
The distinguished propriety of this, we might
truly say, miraculous " Restorative," is that it
gives to the persons who use it, the same head of
hair that they wore in youth, thus acting in
strict compliance with the rules of the first and
greatest of all toilet makers—Nature. No one
who has used it will hesitate to unite with us in
this testimony to its peculiar merit.—Covingeon

Pulmonary Diseases.
Mamma. EDITORS:—The internal structure of
the Lunge must mow claim brief attention.
The hitches, or 'windpipe, extends downwards
from the larynx, (which is situated in the upper
part of the throat,) and paeses•directly behind
the sternum, or breast-bone, for about one-third
of its length;'here the trachea divides into two
parts or branches, called bronchi, one passing to
each lung, where they again divide and subdi
vide into smaller bronchi, much like the branches
of a tree; their minute terminations passing to
all parts of the lungs, and connecting with little
air.cells, which cluster in them somewhat like
bunches of currants, sad it is in these extreme
air•cells that tuberculous deposit, the existence
of which, in the lungs, constitutes true ednenmp
tion, first takes place. •
But so long as at each inspiration, all of these
air•cells are freely and perfectly opened, it is
almost impossible that a tuberculous" deposit
should occur.
But if these cells are but imperfectly opened,
or if from the effects of chronic bronchitis or
other causes, the walls are thickened, there is at
once danger of tuberculous deposit, especially if
the patient is in any degree scrofulous, or at all
inclined to consumption, either hereditarily or
from any of the causes which we shall hereafter
name.
From these reasons, we perceive that constant
full, deep breathing, carrying the shoulders well
back off the chest, and perfectly filling the lungs
with pure fresh , air, is one of the most efficacious
means of preventing consumption, and we shall
find other strong reasons to confirm us in the con
elusion, when we come to consider the functions
of the lungs and the action.of the air in purifying
the blood and giving tone to the system. It is
for these reasons that this perfect inflation of the
lungs by full breathing, percussion upon the

THREE HUNDRED STUPENTS ATTENDING THE
IRON OITY COMMEROIAL COLLEGE AT PITTSBURGH,
Fe —This institution is now enjoying a popular
ity and patronage far above any Institution of the
kind in the United States. It has won its way to
its present eminence by the energetic action on
the part of ita managers, and employment of
twelve teachers in the various departments, of
superior qualifications exclusively. Four large
halls are now occupied by the School; yet more
rooms are to be fitted up, and additional teachers
employed to supply the demands of the many
that apply here for a thorough preparation for
active business, at the Business Man's College.

Rheumatism !
A CON Of TRIM MONTHS' STANDING CDRID.-
George W: Henderson, of Pittsburgh, says:
"After suffering• for three months with Rheu
matism, a part of the time so severely as to con
fine me to my , bed, I have been entirely cured by
using Bmrhave'S Holland Bitters. I have had
one attack since, but feund almost instantaneous
relief in the same medicine. It is in my opinion,
a sure remedy for Rheumatism."
