MEssRs. EDIToRs In perusing an article
under the heading, Freaks of Lightning in
the columns Of your paper, Of last week, was
much entertained and not little amused BY
the remarks Of "A layman' who seem not tc
like choirs pretty wel.' Though not stu
dent Of fashionable theology l shall endeav
or to consider the question relative to the phe
nOmena, and then l shall propose a question
or two which | hope the gentleman or any ad-
vocate Of his position will deign to answer.
l must say that Il is my opinion this phe.
nomenA should be looked upon as an exhibition
of Divine appreciation, because il is certainly
providence that they were not all killed, or
at least il the Almighty does not approve Of
chOirs meeting and practicng music, and light,
ming is one Of his agents for removing that
which is not pleasing in his sight, he does
approve Of 1t or he would have killed ell Of
them.
Suppose that minister ofthe Gospel in the
Second Presbyterian Church of SteubenvIlle
Or elsewhere, were, during thunder storm
disChargipG the duties Of his preaching
Christ and him cruci6ed, and the house should
be struck by lightning and the pastor killed,
would We come to the conclusion that the AL.
mighty did not approve Of this? No. But we
would rather come to the conclusion that the
members Of the church had not availed them
selves Of the means which the Almighty has
placed in their reach,to avert such calamity;
or that lightning was governed by natural
laws, which we're instituted by the Deity him
'elf, and which it always obeys.
Now ! wish to propose few questions for
he advocates Of this gentleman's theory for
lis or their consideration and in regard 10
which should be glad to be enlighted.
Is there any more harm in prasiug God
With fiddle or Violn, than an organ or any

Horace GreeleV In Prison,

Mr.. Greeley has met with chapter in hi

planation of the affair
A sculptor, who had sent some articles fol

which had been injured or nor returned, find.
ing out that Mr.. G. was one Of the Directors oil
the Crystal Palace Association, sued him, lay
ing his claim at $1,000. Mr., G. proposed to
give bail for his appearance and offered as his
surety the United States Secretary of Legation,
but be was. after.a parley, refused. 1t being
Saturday afternoon. he was unable to get a
hearing till Monday. when, having employed
two French lawyers to present his case, the
suit was dismissed, and he came forth from
jail
Mr.. G. gives an amusing account of his pri,
son experience. He thought the quarters safer
than any hotel in Paris. Being surrounded
with wall, guarded by armed sentines, and
the windows iron grated, he saw no danger
from thieves and burglars.
The whole affair was a very pretty adven-
ture; and the account OF it will make one of

REMcvAL.-It is announced that Mr.. Wilson,
the Commissioner Of the general Land Office
at Washington, was, on Wednesday, removed
by the 1irect act of the President. Itis ru.
mored that Gov. Shannon OF Ohio. will be his
successor. We do not know what is the nature
Of the charge against Wilson. He has been IN
the land office long time, and il is said al
Washington, that he Is more familiar with the
details of its business than any other man in
the country. The papers short time since
announced that Mr.. McLelhnd, Of the interior
Department, had declared il Wilson was re
moved he would resign, but of course he will
do nothing of that kind.
Ii is in the order OF events that Shannon
should receive an appointment from the Presi,
dent. He was one Of the four dogs Of Ohio
in the House Of Representatives, who turned
traitor TO their constituents and to freedom, by
vOting for the infamous Nebraska swindle. Re.
ptdiatsd and forever banished from public lie
