iional sums Of money toward the erection OF the

Rev. Henry Slicer, the agent 10 make coec.

Office, owing to continued bodily affection and il
is said that the Rev. Mr.. Ryan, now Of the Phila.
deiphia conference, will be appointed IN his place.
According 10 the report OF the proceedings Of
the Baltimore Conference, the "ighiness OF the
money market has seriously interfered with the
matter Of collections. The sum OF thirty thousand
dollars has thus far been subscribed but oil Of

Removals Extraordinary.--There was in
deed busy time al the Smithsonian Institution,
yesterday, as well as the day before, consequent
on the close Of the Mechanics Fair.
While in the east wing OF the building contri-
buiors were engaged in taking away heavy ma
chinery, some Of il extremely difficult 10 handle,
very many persons were attending TO the removal
Of their offerings from the picture gallery and the
great hall. Ladies and gentlemen. boys and girls,
and servants, were moving about some few Of
them as if the rooms were on fire, aud their goods
threatened with destruction by devouring flames
Others were calm and collected, ahording a sirik-
ing contrast to the fast ones" who were unne-
cessarily excited. The officers OF The Institute
had as much business on hand as they could pos

A Reason for not giving Premiums.-At
the late fair of the metropolitan Mechanics Insti-
tute, no premiums were awarded 10 the gentle
men who severally exhibited elegantly constructed
fre-proof safes, for the reason, as stated by the
examiners, that they had no means Of Judging OF
their peculiar properties and merits, except BY
fire an ordeal TO which, perhaps, the proprietors
would not submit them; or, if willing, such
course was impracticable.
II il was principle not 10 give premiums for
articles which could not be tested and as our fe'-
low-citizcn, Mr.. Il. ID. Gilman, received a silver
medal for his hair-dye, we may reasonably con-
clude that some one OF the judges tried the prepa
ration with success on bis whiskers
No Shaving on sundays.-It is stated that
the BARRIERS Of Providence, Rhode Island, have
petiloned the Mayor and Board OF Aldermen 10

on the Sabbath 10 be enforced. The petition is
