BROTHER j. is Jealous and deVoteo
preacher of the Methodist persuasion, noted
for his peculiarties and eccentricities. On
one occasion church was dedicated on his
charge in rather remote neighborhood,
where the people were somewhat primitive IN
their character. The custom was tor the
churches to be named appropriately, and
Brother c., who had preached the dedica-
tory sermon, was called upon to christen the
sacred ed;6ce. Call it g Hedding Chapel
said Brother c.. and so, by a large vote that
was agreed upon as the name. The congre-
cation was then dismissed but as they were
passing out a new idea struck the eccentric
preacher, who jumped upon bench, and
shouted at the top of his voice to the people !:
tSee here see here! you people away out
here don't know much about Bishop Hedding,
and will forget the name of the church
When you want to remember it, think oil
your head and put ing to it

the veritable Joseph who has figured
so conspicuously before the Re-
corder, had a hearing before Esquire

bound in the sum of $50; on failure
to give bail he was locked in Castle
Darling. He was also charged with
carrying concealed weapons. In this

Committee appointed to take steps in

winsmake a report. Those who can

matters of importance will probably
be transacted. 1t is hoped there will
be full attendance. It is probable
that some arrangement viii be made
ON that day, in regard to celebration
or picnic on the Fourth of July.

was too extended. These were about
his objections, in the support of which
he spoke for some time oN
Mr.. Conant considered that the
Charter, as granted, instead Ofenhanc-
ing the value of property by the con-
struction of the proposed roads, would
decrease its value 5 per cent.
Mr.. j 5 A. Reitz of the Council rose
to explain his position IN regard to
the passage of the Ordinance or Char
ter. as one of the Committee appoint
ed to confer with the Street Railroad
Company as to terms, &c.
Mr.. Veife suggested that the Charter
be amended so as to require a renewal
every ten years, and that the
matter be submitted to the people.
He was sure that the people would
not sustain the Council. He said that it
was mortgage on the city, and on all
the privileges of the citizens to speak
in the matter. The people were con-
suited In regard to the Straight-Line
Railroad, and they should be con-
suited about this. E,ao osfGE
Mr.. Chandler replied atlength, and
with warmth and force He believed
that the people would sustain the
Council. It was emphatieally the
best enterprise for the poor man that
had ever been proposed, and was most
important to them. Now they were
forced to rent small rooms in the
heart of the city, and pay capitalists
enormous rents, so that they could be
handy to their places of labor. Let
the street railroads be built, and it
! would not only enhance the value Of
property in. the city, but would
add & to its population, extend
its borders, and afford the poor
men of the city with comfortable
and cheap residences. We would
have been glad to give fuller report
of the remarks made by gentlemen
who participated in the discussion, but
the lateness of the hour at which the
discussion closed, prevents us doing
SO. We suppose that all will have q
fair understanding of the nature of
| the discussion by the brief Summary
that we have so hastily slade.

It is not unfrequently that some of

the West, and fully equal in point of
mechanical execution. There is
nothing wanting to increase the size,
population, and commercial import
ance Of our city but little less fogy-

BOARD OF TRADE.-Ihere was
full attendance at the Board of Trade
yesterday. The minutes of the previ
GUS meeting were read and approved.
The New York and Cincinnati mar
ket reports were read as usual. There
were no salesson Change, and but few
specimens of articles on exhibition.
Mr.. Carson, on behalf of the com
mittee appointed to enquire into the
granting of a charter by the City
Council to construct street railway,
reported that the charter had
been granted He produced a copy
of the paper containing the publica
ton of the charter, and said that it
was perhaps not too late to take such
action as had been proposed, but he
had prepared remonstrance that he
would read to the Board, and which
was designed to be signed by such of
the citizens as chose to.
The President asked if there was
any means by which the contract
could be got behind sa7.
Mr. Gumberts said there was. That
he had consulted some legal gentle
men and had already obtained an
opinion in regard to the matter. ssa-fo
Mr.. Riggs asked if the books had
been. opened so that citizens could
take stock.
Mr. Gumberts said the books were
opened. That he had offered to take
stock to the amount Of 5000, and
that he had also offered to find nine
teen other men who would take each
Sc, 900 of stock, but that his PROPOSE
ton had been rejected. He said that
he had then proposed to give bonus
of SO, 900 for $4,000 of stock in the
road, which proposition had not been
acceded to. w w
Mr.. Carson said that he had heard
a responsible citizen say that he would
give the city $4,000 for the charter
granted the Company, and he did not
doubt but more could be realized
from it. TaEsE2ssF
Mr.. Gumberts said that he was con-
fdent that $4,000 could be realized
to the city for similar charter.
The President thought that as a
Board, it was not advisable to take
action in the matter at all What
ever was done should be done as citi-
zens, and not as Board
On motion Of Capt. Willard, the
words Board of Trade" were struck
out of the remonstrance, after which
it was circulated for the signatures.
