Music IN SCHooLs.-If new ma
chine is invented the first question a
practical man asks is: Will it accom-
plish what is claimed for it'll Anything
is good and useful that is adapted to
the end had in view. For music it is
claimed that it is lone of the most i'm
portant and influential means of moral
elevation. 1t elevates and refnes the
soul as wen rs the taste, and if begun
in childhood is ever after a source OF
enjoyment and shield az ainst temPta'
tions which drag our young men down
to ruin and degradation" 1t is claimed
for music in the school room that aside
from its great moral influence, it is a
material aid to the teacher in discipline,
and that . school in which music u
used as lubricator, runs far more
easily, smoothly and quietly than one
where its influence is not felt ut all.
Now to the practical question. Does
music perform what is claimed for it'

DELAY OF TRAIN.-On wednesday
evening, as the train on the Hempheid
Railroad was returning to the city with
a load of merry picnicers, and when just
about half way through the tSnnel at
West Alexander, the shaft OF the en-
give wheel broke. Here were the party
left in the dark and gloomy tunnel.
No way of amusement. Some proposed
that, as they were SO near the modern
Gretna Green, they should all get out
of the cars, 60 into the town and get
married. This was amended, however,
by good substitute, which proposed
that they go to West Alexander and
have a dance. The substitute was
agreed to, and T. T. Cecayne being
aboard with his celebrated band, they
danced till the "wee small hours of the
morning." About this time they had
the engine ready and the disappointed
picnicers arrived in Wheeling about
breakfast time on Thursday morning.

POLICE CoURT.-The attendance at
this Court on yesterday morning was
quite full. The final and closing chap
ter in the street fight, as stated ia the
REGISTER, was enacted at this tribunal
of justice.
The parties were Thomas PrOselle and
John Thomas. 1t appeared they were
laborers in rolling mill and got into
an alteration at the Franklin Hotel,
in Centre Wheeling, and being put out
of the house, ended their dispute in a
real "set-to" in the street. They were
respectively fined So and costs.
The next case was one for disorderly
conduct at the saloon of Jacob Strobel
on Market street. Itappeared that Da-
vid Edwards and Timothy Casey, ac-
com panied by . woman, went to the
said saloon at ten or eleven O'Clock at
night and demanded lodging. Mr.. Stro-
bel told them he did not keep house of
that kind, and after receiving q volume
of abuses he put them out of the house.
AS they went cut they commenced
throwing some stones that were on the
pavement into the saloon, one of which
struck Mr.. Strobel. The men then ran
off but were intercepted by the police.
The Judge considering it an aggravated
case, fined each one $50 and costs and
sent them up for thirty days.
The next was an adjourned case, that
Of Alexander King who had been ar,
rested for abusive language by one Mr..
Brown. From the evidence it was
proven that Brown was the aggressor in
the way of abusive language, so the
Judge dismissed the case and ordered
the complainant to pay the cost. Thus
ended the morning exhibition at this
Court.

and citizens. Rev. DR.. Duffield, one of
the oldest Ministers of Detroit, had been
chosen to deliver the address of well
come on behalf of the Ministry. In the
midst of his able and cordial greeting
he was stricken with paralysis and fell
reeling to the floor. He was
placed in chair; physi-
clans were summoned, the aged
divine was carried from the Church
aud to his residence. He fingered until
Friday, and fell asleep in Jesus. His
funeral on Sabbath afternoon was the
largest ever witnessed in Detroit.
The proceedings of the Convention
were of the most solemn and Impressive
character, fraught with interest and
brotherly love. The meetings were
largely attended by the citizens, and
nightly the large Church was filled te
its utmost capacity. The farewell meet
ing was held on Sabbath evening and
the closing hymn, "Blest be the tie that
binds our hearts in christian love- was
sung by the five hundred young men
while they stood clasping each others
hands.
On Monday the excursion rendered
by the Michigan Central Railroad Com
pany came eff, and fourteen magnificent
palace cars left the depot of that road
filled with Y. NJ. C. A. excursionists for
Ann Arbor. The forty mile ride was
soon over, then came hearty welcome
and bountiful supply of refreshments.
The day was spent pleasantly and
agreeably, and the train returned to
Detroit at about six o'clock in the
evening.
When returning across the Lake to
Cleveland our boat landed and made Il
short stay at the wreck of the Inflated
steamer Morning Star. Several bodies
had been recovered, and the remains OF
a young lady were taken on our boat
and conveyed to Cleveland. The young
lady and her mother and sister were
in the wreck. The distracted husband
and father was on our boat, and when
he beheld the form of his daughter he
was completely unnamed. He has
been almost distracted since the disas-
ter, and rides to and fro on the Cleve-
land and Detroit boat, anxiously look
ing for tidings of his lost ones.
The Wheeling delegation reached
their homes on Wednesday evening,
highly pleased and greatly benefited
by their trip.
The delegates from all parts of the
land were loud in their praise of the
people of Detroit. They could not but
admire the spirit of christian hospital
ity and fellowship extended. The Thir-
teenth Annual Convention will long be
by oil who attended it.
Yours truly, DELEGATE.

THE CONCERT LAST NIGHT.-The Sa.
cred Concert given at st. Matthew'S
Church last night was attended by a
rather small but fashionable and appre-
ciative audience. The singing was adj
mirable, but the organ was failure.
We learned, after the concert, that the
organ had broken early in the evening,
one of the manuels being rendered al
most useless, and that was the reason
why the performers were compelled
to depart widely from the print
ed programme and why the
instrument so frequently drowned the
voices of the singers. Prof. Gonzalez
has a splendid baritone voice and is a
thorough musician, and we trust that
he may meet with the better success,
which he and the other members of his
troupe assuredly deserve, in the concert
at the Cathedral on next Sunday even

inconsistency in spending so
much time in that study to the
almost entire neglect of one which en-

ing, ennobling and moulding the char

human soul, and it is as much q neces-
sity to give outward expression to it as
it is to laugh when we are pleased, or to
weep when we are in sorrow. Every
thing about us is vocal with music. Let
our children be taught to sing. Let
them sing glad songs when their souls
are happy. Let them sing as they grow
in years and feel, as they will, 'life's

though it may not remove the burden,
it will strengthen the soul to stand up
