CLOSE OF THE ERIE WAR.-Both houses of
the New York legislature having passed and
Governor Fenton having signed the Erie rail-
road bill, legaizing the issue of $10,OO0O0O OF
stock, the war of the giants may be considered
as a matter of history. The following specr +.
lations concerning the matter from the New
York Evening Post will be found of INTEREST,"
The Senate vote in favor the bill was seven
teen. Rumor says that it had twelve friends
in The Senate, and that the other five voters
were paid for at the rate of $500 apiece. IN
the House, the iriedns claim that both sides f
teree equal brides for votes, and that as a re-
suit, the bill was considered on its merits
1t passed by 102 to 5; almost unanimously;
showing that all serious opposition was with,
drawn. Does this indicate, too that the
price bargained for was withdrawn by the de-
teated party on finding It's own weakness? Or
does ii mean that both of the great contendinc
powers, which have been fighting one another
SO unscrupulously, have united quietly to SWIM
die the public? Has Mr.. Vanderbilt's party,
which had DO words to express the crimes
committed by the Erie Board, made itself re-
sponsible for all thes- crimes, by taking Goa
sderati"n for hushing them up? And has
Mr.. Drew's party; after proclaiming every
where that the stock was worthless, and in
duclng the public to sell it largely, formed
contederacv with their opponents, bought the r
stock at pr.c1 far above the ma 'ket valut,
and agreed 10 put it mp against their deceived
friends and folio yers?

A New IDEA-We were considerably amused
the other day at a conversation between three
boys,-two on one side and one opposite on
Exchange street. One of the two cried out to
the one across, "Jimmy, come over here and
see what bully chaw of tobaccy I've got!"
When his companion quickly and Indignantly
added, "Tant hls'n neither, Jimmy, it is Billy
Shephard'sw We know that chews of tobac-
co are often begged, but never before heard
that they were returned after being used.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Allow me space for remark
upon one of the many Improvements that have
sprung up among us since the fire. The man
who makes two blades of grass grow where
but one grew before, is a real benefactor to the
world-but he is not pre-eminent. He who
advances and improves upon the refinements
of civilization, making beauty and comfort
add still more to mans happiness here below
is equally friend to the community. 1 speak
now particularly of the luxury and good taste
introdu ced by our mutual friend J. NJ. Todd.
In his hair dressing rooms. Such efforts in
expense and labor to meet the daily wants of
our tellow-citzens should receive the most de-
clded approval 1t 5hen becomes an incentive
to others, and double service is done. L wish
your readers, who have not, would step in to
our friends richly fitted boudoir. It makes
one smile at the rough aud uncouth arrange
ments OF olden tine, for relieving man of his
manly attribute, the beard. And why should
II not be so? The arts should meet the daily
comforts of the whole humanity as well as the
ease and pleasure of the millionaire. That is
what Todd has shown himself anxious to do
that is what he has emphatically DONE NV
pen will not describe it, as the eyes will con-
vince. So 1 say, drop in upon the public ben
eiactor, and prove by your presence and pat
ronage that he has not mistaken the temper of
our people IN this respec5. HIRsUTE.

Another fine church that has been construct
ed within the past year, and is soon to be dedi-
Gated. is the Cot gress street Methodist Epis-
esque style of architecture, and in every aspect
built with taste and with conveniences fully
up to the standard of modern improvements
The front is a model in its proportions, with
spre on the North corner, Ill feet high, and
campanile tower on the South corner CT feet
high. A large transom window occupies the
front between the towers, and over that is a
rose window five feet in diameter. There are
three broad and easy entrances to the church,
one through each tower and one through the
vestihule on a level with the vestry. The yes
thule is So feet long and 8 feet wide. The YES
try is in the basement, and is IS feet in length
and AZ feet in width, with ten foot posts in the
clear. In the rear of the vestry is circle
room % feet square, and a class room of the
same Dimensions on the opposite side. Be
tween the two is a library room. The vestry
is heated by two portable furnaces set in the
wall Over this is the audience ROOM which
is s. feet in length and IS feet in width. 1t is
reached from the vestry by two flights of stairs,
each five feet in width. 1t is divided into nave
and isle by columns and arches that support
the roof. A fat ceiling is thrown across the
nave and frescoed in panels with blue ground
work and golden stars. There are ia pews,
which have drab cushions, and there is black
and red carpet on the floor. The interior of
the audience room is finished with brown ash
and black walnut, and the pulpit is of black
walnut, and made to conform to the style Of
the church. Over the vestibule is a small gall
lery, reached by a stairway from the tower.
The rooms are all ventilated, both through
the chimnies and towers.
This church is built of wood, sanded grey,
and the whole COST exclusive of the lot, is
$4,000. We understand that the city have
given this Society the bell on the engine house
near by, which they will exchange tor larger
one for their church, with the understanding
that arrangements shall be made to have it
rung at times of fires. This is an excellent idea
and one that will meet with the favor of all.
