be intolerably dull, especially as there IS
being made q seemingly desperate but
abortive effort at getting up a snow storm
The weather is clustering ssnoogh, like ,
some of the stormy orators OF this BODY
of the concentrated wisdom Of the Slate;
but like these same patriots. the effort
ends in sound and fury, signifying nothing.
OF course we can have no reports OF pro-
gress to make to-day, and do not know
where our letter may end, OF whether II
will end in letter at all. r.
Yesterday was Quarterly Meeting in the
Town Street Methodist Episcopal Church.
This is large, fine building. perhaps the
largest Church in the City, and was COM
pactly filed. Rev. DR.. Clark, of Clncln-
natl, Editor of the 'Ladies Repository"
preached in the forenoon. Those OF our
readers who receive that work need not be
told that the DR.. is profound thinkerand
one of the purest and most classical wri-
ters of our country. AS speaker he is
not so celebrated, at least we thought his
manner not so well calculated to captlvate
crowd, as that of many who are far below
him in mental power. His voice is harsh,
and raspy as if hoarse from cold or over
exertion, which may have been the case.
The discourse, however, was faultless as
literary production, and might safely
have been sent to the press without The
} change of single word. To our mind
the discourse had two faults, as applicable
to 80 large and promiscuous an assembly
! 1t appealed too exclusively TO the intellect
3 and was TOO long. 1t occupied nearly two
, hours in its delivery, and consequently
many whose mental habits had not pre-
pared them for close and protracted atten-
ton and thought, went off to dreamland
, before it was half through.
Another thing struck us as singular in
Methodist Church. Immediately bach
. of the pulpit, or rather the stand of the
1 preacher, is deep recess similar to that
; behind the Judges bench in the Court
:, House, at Pomeroy, but deeper. Here is
e gallery, a little higher than the ministers
: head, which is occupied by the choir. Ii
this case the choir consisted of about I
y dozen gentlemen and ladies, upon whom
:. seemed 10 be devolved the laborious dut.
e of singing, not only for themselves but TO
!, the whole congregation. 5i
= But it is easy to criticise, and perhap
, ace could not have preached any better; ant
j as for the singing, if the choir don't do ou
y part it has to go undone.
The Theater will be opened tonight 10
, the first time this season. Those who pat
:, ronize this ''institution,' will, therefore
have good time. We very mnch doub
: however, whether the thing will pay.
u is said that the Manager lost large SUI
. last winter, and from what we have hear
se of public opinion, we think the enterpr''
will be a dead failure.
