THE CATHOLIC ASSEMBLY AT
ROME.

The most grand and unique assem-
bly, of the age is that which met at
Rome the first of the present month.
1t was composed of Bishops from the
American republics and European
monarchies, from countries exclusive
ly Roman Catholic, and countries
predominantly Protestant, such as the
United States, England, Holland, and
Switzerland, from the Mohammedan
countries Of Europe, Asia and Africa,
and the vast pagan empires of Asia,
embracing also, beside the prevailing
Latin rite, all the varioAs Eastern
rites, as Greeks, Melchites, Rutheni-
ans, Syrians. Chaldeans, Maronites,
Armenisns and Copts. No similar
ecclesiastical demonstration of our
age has been more calculated to
awaken the interests Of all Catholics
and the curiosity Of other religious
denominations. And, TO add to the in
terest of the meeting, the Pope has
officially declared his intention to
convoke soon an 9cumenical council.
The following is a correct list of the
Bishops in attendance from the
United States: p

Rev. u. b. ID. Martin, pastor OF the
Vine Street Presbyterian Church, has
been seriously sick the past week, and
will not be able to fill his pulpit to-
morrow. His congregation and nu-
merous friends at home and abroad
will be glad to leaan that he has, it
is thought, passed the point of danger
from the disease, and they may hope
for his early recovery and restoration
to his field of usefulness.
The usual services will be held in
the Cumberland Presbyterian Church
tomorrow; and also in the Walnut
Street Church. the Rev. Mr.. McCarer
continuing his series Of services of
the euils Of the Times in the evening.
The Sabbath School of the Walnut
Street Presbyterian Church will hold
it, Quarterly Missionary Meeting 90
morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. The
contributions from the various classes
will be made, reports from officers,
and a number of brief addresses will
constitute the order Of exercises.
This school is actively engaged in the
missionary work, and the meeting
will doubtless prove interesting. The
members of other Sabbath Schools
and the public generally are invited.

YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN UNION
= AT VINCENNES. =

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette writing from Vincennes under
date of July 20. says:
Among the recent organizations Of
our cityAhas been that Of the Young
Mems Christian Association, which
has now been in existence about six
months. The officers of the associa-
ton recently elected, are: James T..
Merryman, President; John ID. Cox,
Vice President; George B. Rose,
Corresponding Secretary; James S.
Brace, Recording Secretary, and
Joseph Roseman, Treasurer. Nc city
has a greater need of an organization
ofthis character than Vincennes-and
the energy thus far manifested by the
membership indicates work. They
have recently secured a comfortable
room, and have obtained the use of
the Workingmen's Library splen-
did selection of books, donated a
number Of years g to the mechanics
of V~incennes, who, having once
formed themselves into an Association
for taking care of the Library, have of
late years disbanded. or have a mere
nominal existence. The DON of the
Y. M. G. A. will be lighted, warmed,
and kept open every night for the
benefit of those young men who may
desire to avail themselves of social,
intellectual, or religious advantages.
On Thursday last, H. Thane Miller,
w. III. Doane, Fl. P. Ciough and Rev.
c. L. Thompson, of your city, visited
Vinceunes, and addressed the citi-
zens in behalf of the Association. A
crowded audience assembled in
Green's Hall. and listened with de-
light to the brief, but pointed ad-
dresses Of the four gentlemen, as they
stated the history, character, and OBJ
ject contemplated by the Association.
The exercises were Interspersed with
the charming singing of Messrs. Mil

We were panied to learn, this week.
of the death of the infant son of Rev.
George F. P~entecost, the pastor of
the Baptist Church. of this city. He
has the earnest sympathies of his
Christian friends in his bereavement.
The Examiner and Chronicle, the
leading Baptist paper in the United
States. has for some months past been
publishing the sermons of the Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, the able but
eccentric preacher of Plymouth Con-
gregational Church of Brooklyn.
The clerical readers of the Examiner
have made the discovery that Mr..
Beecher's sermons are dangerous.
Accordingly the Baptist pastors of
New York have resolved THAT it be
expressed as the sentiment Of this
Pastors Conference that the teach
ings of Henry Ward Beecher, as
published in the Ecaminer and
Chronicle, are by US regarded as I'M
sound and dangerous, and that such
publication meets our strongest dis
appreciation" Evidently, however.
the views of the pastors are not the
views of the editor, for the Examiner
ridicules the resolution and says:
Thousands of Baptists hear his
preaching as they have opportunity
and the Pastors Conference may be
assured that such a resolution as we
have received will not diminish the
number of his hearers, readers or
admirers"
MINISTERIAL INSTITUTE. = Over
fifty Baptist ministers assembled in
Granville, Ohio, and organized by the
appointment of Rev. A. III. Strong,
Of Cleveland, as Chairman, and Rev.
S. B. Webster, of gainesville, as
Clerk, Rev. DR.. Bailey, of Kalamazoo
Theological Seminary, opening the
course of instructions at 9 A. NJ, with
a lecture on ecclesiastical history.
Other lecturers followed, generally
at the rate of three lecturers each
day, the brethren taking notes during
each lecture, ana at the close propos-
ing written questions, which were
answered by the lecturer. This part
Of tie exercises Was eXceedlIgy
and instructive The evenings
were devoted to discussions on the
composition and delivery of sermons,
Wnaer the direction Of the Chairman.
"A prayer meeting was held each
morning, from half past FIVE to halt
past six O'Clock, which drew the
hearts oftbe brethren together. As
day after day passed the interest
seemed increasing, and at last
amounted to something like enthusi-
assn, and the success appeared COM
plete. These exercises are designed
especially for the benefit Of pastors,
whose early opportunities of educa-
ton were scanty.

CHAPTER V.

"A case of shocking brutality on the part of
parents has recently been brought to Ii ght in
Chicago. The family consisted of man
named johnson, his wife and boy twelve
years old. y witness at the examination tes,
tilted that johnson has, night after night,
turned his boy out into the cold, without shoes
or stockings, and scarcely any other cl"thing
that she had seen. The woman called his
mother beat the child horribly that in order
to prevent the poor boy leaving the house,
she had stripped him naked and locked up
his clothes; that on the man Johnson's re-
turn home at night. the boys screams re-
sounded far and wide, caused by the NAL
treatment received at his fathers hands. The
witness stated that the terrified boy sought
refuge from his fathers brutality by conceal
ing himself under bed, and that in order to
make the child come from his hiding place,
the ogre seized kettle of hot water and threw
the scalding crutents over the prosecuted lit
tie fellow; that his screams of agony caused
the ncighbors to rush in and rescue the bow
from the clutches of the wretch.
