n. B,opnsons Lecture-The lecture of DR..
~ erownsons at the Cathedral last evening,
.,s attended by large and intelligent audience
'nd w,s listended to with marked attention from
AZ h.rnnipe to its close. The lecturer devoted
himself mainly to controverting the popular OBJ,
;..,iors to the church, urged by the non-catho-
i. rorId. They were four in number, and were
'..n,rotely treated The first objection was that
,Se catholic religion degrades and debases hp7
man nature. Secondly, That it fosters super
.,iton. Thirdly, That it destroys individuality,
and fourthly that the catholic religion is unfa-
vorable to civilization.
IN referring to the second popular objection,
tbe lecturer touched upon the origin and pro-
,ress of spiritualism, s-ating that in these Pro-
tss,ant United States, there were at this time
tb,ee millions of spiritualists, having their
.Diritua preachers and churches and COM
n,nrions He said the source from whence the
objection is urged was itself fearfully supersti-
,ons Tie church was not obnoxious to the
charge nor did it approve of anything like SUI
rorsiition. He defined superstition as being to
exoect effects from inadequate causes, and al
lojed in an interesting manner to the supersti-
,ons of his youth, and the superstitions of the
common people from whom he sprung.--
Hesaid that the Protestant people had never
civilized nation upon the globe. During the
thousand years intervening between the fifth and
sixteenth centuries the improvements of the
nations of continental Europe, in all the elements
ofmorality, we've under the ministrations of the
catholic church. We should not be doing the
lecturer justice to attempt report of even the
substance of the language used or arguments
alduced in refuting the four objections indicat-
ed. He concluded by stating that the church
had always been strongly opposed, and by enr-
meratng the ohjcctions,and powerful persccu-
lions she had withstood. After all this, she was
to-day as, young, fresh, beautiful and blooming
as.wheu she planted the cross upon calvary. .

aM attempted Re-nrrcst-We learn that one
day this week gcnteel looking man bought a
gun from countryman living near the mouth
of Yellow Creek, and paid for it with fifty bo-
gus half dollars, and then left for Wellsburg,
where he was followed and arrested upon the
charge of passing counterfeit money. The man
was taken before magistrate but owing to the
absence Of important witnesses he was dis
charged and Immediately left Wellsburg for this
CITY. Shortly afterwards, the witnesses appear
ing he was pursued by the officers and overta-
ken at Beech Bottom, when he drew pistol
aud threatened to shoot the first man who laid
hands upon him. He was not arrested, but is
now in this city and is supposed to have done
some little business here already.

in diameter, in the planning mill of Mr.. William
Hamilton, OF Lindsay street, in the Fourth

existence within half an hour DIR. Frissell was
Immediately called but found all human skill
unavailing for the preservation of the life of the
unfortunate man. Mr.. S. was engaged in an at.
