Cincinnati, Louisville, and other towns in the

DIsTREssiNo.--A family by the name of Cooper
from Hickory county, returning from visit North,
encountered fire in the prairie some ten miles north
of this place on Thursday last, and were greatly
injured. They lost their wagon and contents, and
a child was SO severely burned as to be despaired
of. The father and mother were also greatly in
iurcd by the flames in their efforts TO rescue the
child, which, it seems, became frantic, and endea
vored to escape through the fire. The luxurant
growth upon the prairies this season renders fire
in them alarming indeed. In many places waves
of fire will roll twenty or thirty feet.

Meeting of Clergynen on the subject of
Preaching in the Open Air.


A large and very respectable meeting of clergy
men, embracing several of the Oldest and most
cradle dvines OF the city, held in the commit
tee rooms of the American Tract Society House On
Monday, Sd inst. Among those present we observed

these denominations, and all deeply interested in
the subject which had called them together.
The Rev. DR.. Bangs WAS called to the chair, and
Rev. DIR. Mcleod was appointed secretary.
After prayer, and asta,ement Of the object OF the
meeting, the matter made the subject Of long
and earnest discussion, in which Drs. Smith, Be
thune, w clch, Cox, Burchard Bangs, Rev. Messrs
Curric, MAROON, Rowland, Bliss, and many others
participated
DIR. Bethune urged the importance of opening
places for eaching where the masses could attend
without charge; where the ministry should be en-
tircly supported by those who have other places of
public worship; and those who attend should feel
that they are free to go and como they are to
enter the parks. He pointed out with great clear
mesa the advantages of this method over the street
preaching.
Rev. DIR. Burchard and Rev. MIR. Magoon
nestly urged taking the stand in the highways,
and addressing the multtudes they could be
gathered and made to attend
There diversity Of sentiment among the
brethren to the importance of the effort, and the
warmest sympathy was Expressed with the masses
who perishng without hearing the Gospel
from Sabbath to Sabbath.
After protracted deiberation, in which interest
ing facts were brought out, and the experience Of
many was communicated, a large committee was
appointed to digest practicable plan, and report
at a similar meeting, to be held next Monday, ut
