CLEVELAND, Oct. 20, lo0l'
Mr.. EDIToR:--The Grand Lodge OF
Free and Accepted Masons Of the State
ofOhio, convened in this city, on the 2Sd
inst. There is very full representation,
there being over two hundred Lodges
represented. 1t is estimated that there
has been ore thousand Masons in the
city for the last four days. Ithink, how
ever. thar this is too large an estimate.
Everything is passing off harmoniously.
On yesterday WIN. B. HUBBARD, of
Columbus, was elected Grand Master;

that has existed in the country about her,

she has very much the appearance Of
woman and she does actually wear pet
ticoats On her arrival there was no dis
play. no "no,se and confusion" but on the
contrary every thing was quiet and peace
able; when she arrived, she with one of
her waiting maids, walked into the Hotel
alone and was shown to her rooms by the
landlord; myself and few others being
present. To day she has not left her
room. but Ipresume it is in consequence of
the snow being too deep for her to walk
out. Otherwise | think it was her inten-
tion TO have attended church.
The snow commenced falling this
morning about o'clock. and has been

FATHER MATHEWS FAREWELL SER
MoN.-The Rev. Theobald Mathew
preached his farewell sermon in N Y.
on Sunday, taking as his text the 21st
verse of the 18th chapter Of the Epstle
to the Romans, according to the Douay
version:'I 1t is good neither to eat flesh, nor
to drink wine, nor anything whereby thy
brother is scandelized, or is offended, or
is made weak. His argument seems to
have been addressed chiefly to those who
refuse to take the pledge OF total absti-
neDce on the ground that they are sober
enough. These he urged to take il for
an example to others, and in this connex-
ion he said that the sisters Of charity in
New York city are all members of the
temperance association.

DAuY GAzETTE.-As many Of the cit
izens Of our city. have expressed desire
to huveus renew the publicalionofa daily
paper, we have concluded to make an at
tempt to get patronage sufficient to war
rant Us in starting the enterprize. 1t
will be published. if at ell, at Sc per an
mum, which can be paid in monthly in
stallments IN advance, if preferred by any
ofits subscribers, aud will be commenced
between this and the first Of December
next.
1t is not necessary for us to enter into
an elaborate essay upon the advantages
and conveniences which must necessarily
result to our citizen by the publication of
a daily paper, The discussion of these
questions we leave entirely with them,
and as they, as we'll as ourselves, have
had little experience in this matter,
there is now no necessity of either party
being cheated. There are in the city a.
boat FIVE hundred voters. OF whom four.
fifihs al least are able TO take daily pa
per. We do not say that we require this
number to induce US to renew the publl-
cation of the DAILY Gpzette," but we
must necessarily have more patronage
than before, and all persons who have
any wish to see such an enterpIize gar
ried on, should lend it their support, many
OF them by subscription and advertising.
The publication of a daily paper is ne
cessarily an expensive undertaking,
and if it is pf any value to this city, it
should be literally and freely patronized
by the citizens. Properly supported,
thus affording means by which the ed-
tor can add to its interest and value, it
must necessarily continue to grow in
public favor and as a consequence grow
in size and importance. It's influence,
abroad as at home, will be beneficial. and
tend to give character to the place in
which il is located. Its advertising col.
umns may be made tho means of ready
advertising and speedy sales, and the a
mount of such custom will afford an in
dex of the trade and enterprise of the
city. But it is needless To enlarge upon
the advantages which will accrue by the
permanent establishment ofthe proposed
daily, for at last it will depend upon the
favorable consideration of our people
and we do not wish to renew its publica
tion, unless we have some certain con
victions that it would be permanent.
Those who are desirous or aiding il
the establishment of the paper, can Civ,
their names to the editor or leave then
at the office, as we'll as those who ar,
willing to patronize its advertising col
, umns.
t The reduction of rates of postage wi
probably make it convenient for man
, persons in neighboring towns, on dai
J, mail routes, to become subscribers. 7
e them, it will be sent for S5, to be paid i
I advance.
We may add that, if we renew tn
q publication Of the paper, with spfficier
patronage, we shall keep steadily u
. with the growing interests of our cit
and make it an index Of its business an
:, enterprize.

WANT OF MINrsTERs.-The New

had been educated for the sacred profes,
sion consequently abandoned the idea of
becoming ministers of the Gospel. and
adopted other pursuits. The great in,
crease of population, the building up of
new towns and cities at the west, and
the enlargement of missionary fields, a,
home and abroad, has created demand
for more laborers in the calling. and at
least FIVE hundred additional educated
preachers will be needed every year
