DIR. RODGERS LECTURE.-The Cathe-
dral was filled at an early hour last
night with persons gathered to hear DR..
Rodgers, formerly of the Episcopal
Church of Memphis, Tenn, and con.
vert to Catholicity, lecture or the sub
ject of "Ritualism; or my conversion
to the Catholic Faith" When we say
the building was full, we mean that
every seat in the body of the Cathedral
and in the gallery was occupied, and
that by the time the lecture commenced,
standing room only could be obtained
After the solo, ~ know that my Re-
deemer liveth, which was magnificently
rendered, was sung, DR.. Rodgers was in
trsduced by Rev. DR.. Brann. He sp'
pears to be about forty years of age, is
of average height, and to well-knit
figure adds pleasing face, an attractive
delivery and clear, full, resnunding
voice, that rang to the EXTREMIST part OF
the Cathedral. He was formerly a..rectoI
of the Episcopalian Church, or rather
the ritualistic or high church branch Of
it. He handled his subject logically
and powerfully, and gave the reasons
for becoming proselyte with a con
ciseness and clearness rarely heard in
lectures of the kind. He has ready
flow of Language, and while seeming tc
hesitate, at times in the choice of q
word seems to add greaetr power to the
concluding sentence because of the ap
parent hesitation.
1t will be seen that DR.. Rodgers is tc
deliver q second lecture tomorrow
night, and we cheerfully advise all who
would hear profound thinker, close
and logical reasoner and an eloquent
speaker to attend.

A NOVEL FooT RAcE.-A foot race
came off in Ritchietown on Saturday
about midnight, which may be set down
a. the coolest thing of the season. Two
men were talking of their powers OF
endurance and skill In running, when
one challenged the other to a trial OF
speed then and there for IS side,
There was an inch of snow on the ground
and the night was as cold as charity
The bet was accepted, and out into the
night they went, clad in nothing but
their undershirts and drawers, and in
their stocking feet, to test which was
the better man. Before the distance
could be measured eff, and judges sta
toned, one of them got so chilled that
he couldn't start when the word 60 was
given, but the other made the race and
took the money. For doing odd things
at the oldest Of hours, commend US to
q thorough bred Ritchietowner.

ing went into the Grant House barber

on his muscle and threatened to whip
the cd niger" He was fined $50
and costs, OF thirty days.
George Kraft was coming down Mar

eff He was fined $40 and costs, or thirty
days.
John Reddy was ready for a hearing
on a charge of disorderly conduct. lie
filed his keg full of benzine, and then
was Reddy ready for row. He at
tempted to whip his wife, to kick down

like a scalawag generally. And this on
Friday night. Reddy looked blue when

BIG RIVER WANTED.-There never
was time when o full river was more
needed than now. The warehouses of
the different mills are full to overflow
ing with nails and spikes, and there is
no means of shipping them. Having
nearly used mp their stock of ore, and
being unable to obtain more, the mills
do not work more than half time, and
even this will be reduced, if there be
not a considerable rise within the next
two or three weeks. Should the river
close while it is so low there would be
an immense amount of restitution
among the families Of our laboring
men.

CHURCH PEws.-We are in favor OF
comfort in church; cushioned pews,
footstools, fans in hot weather, fires in
cold, and everything which can add to
the geniality of the sanctuary. Conse-
quently, there are churches in this
town, and elsewhere, wherein we do
not worship il very commendable
spirit, our devotions being interrupted
by frequently recurring and strong de-
sires to rise up and pitch the seats out
of the window. Sometimes upon these
e1asperating occasions we have amused
ourself by watching the WEAKNESS and
desperation of gradual despair over
shadowing the countenances of the
congregation, as the sermon drags along
and the seats become more and more
uncomfortable. And we have pretty
good cushion in the pew we set in, too
We take it with US. But there can be
no such thing as pure and undefled re-
ligfon in such churches.

HORTICULTURAL MEETISG.-A few
only of our horticulturists met at Horn.
brooks Hall on Saturday. After gen.
eral complaint at the want of interest
manifested by fruit growers in the sue
cess of the society, the meeting ad.
iourned until the second Saturday in
January next, at which time the ques-
ton of holding horticultural fair will
be considered. 1t is beyond question
that the materials for fine and most
successful fair are abundant, aud, if the
members of the society will it go, q
splendid display of fruits and flowers
can be had. We hope it may be brought
TO a successful issue.

THEATRE. - Tonight the favorte
yeung tragedian j. w. Albaugh and his
wife commence a joint engagement at
Washington Hall. Mrs. Albaugh is q
sister of Maggie Mitchell, and is fully
as talented as her sister, though her
forte is not in the same direction. We
are pleased tn at Mrs. Seton has made
this engagement, and hope our readers
will give her such generous support
as will show that Wheeling theatre
goers are not demoralized SO by the SEN
sational trash of the day that they can
not appreciate and amply support the
legitimate drama. We would like to
see Mrs. and Mr.. Albaugh in Tobin's
divine comedy OF the Honeymoon. His
Duke Aranza is the livery perfection of
light comedy, while there is no
better Juliana on the stage to-day
than Mrs. Albaugh. They open to-
night in the play of Eustache Baudin,
and we trust that, Notwithstanding the
unpleasant weather, they may have
rouslng house to greet them. The farce
of Sarah's Young Man will conclude the
evenings entertainment.
Wesuggest to Manageress Seton that
she continue the arrangement by which
portion of the house is set apart, du-
ring this engagement, for ladies and
gentlemen accompanying them, and for
gentlemen and their children. 1t re.
moves one of the objections we have
heard ladies make to attending Wash
ington Hall. They do not like to be
jostled and spit on by those ill-man-
nered youths who are sure to attend
places Of amusement and who always
make themselves comfortable, no mat
ter at whose expense. We want to see
this Albaugh engagement full dress
affair. We know the abilities of the
artists deserve it.

1t is simply this: Don't stay too long

and then leave promptly. Short and
frequent visits tell, when your setting
cut policy of staying until the old gen.
tleman comes down and asks you to
remain a few minutes longer and get
your breakfast, never would count.
The young ladies will like this better
and lock the fresher for not having

night before, and make themselves more
charming than ever the next time.
Young fellows suffering from their first
attack of calf love will think this cruel
advice, but the parents and young Ia

Tvv Rv,ur,yu1 ssow.-on Saturday

THE BEAUTIFUL SNow.-On Saturday
morning We walked to see the ground
covered with what some dad-burned
fool calls "the beautiful snow, and more
falling. We'd like to know what there
ia "beautiful" about it. Is it beautiful
when it soaks through your boots and
makes Your feet cold-oh, so cold J
How is it for Beautifully when you go
into the house with great ball of it on
each heel and leave tracks (not religious
ones) on the floor, or set in front of the
fire to warm your feet and leave neat
little paddles of dirty water on the
clearly -swept hearth, and the lady you
board with attempts to scalp you with
a mop or broom handlei Where's the
"beautiful" in thati Beautiful snow!
Beautiful fiddlsstick! It's all bully for
the boys who get on Monroe and Quincy
and Webster streets to enjoy the fun OF
coasting and dragging heavy sled up
hill afterwards, but even here, what Is
there "beautifup in the snow to any
well regulated boy, when the velocity
with which he goes down hill forces the
snow up his trowsers legs and out OF
his coat sleeves But what can't be
cured must be got along with, as the old
lady said when she chopped the baby's
head off to keep it from snutfiIng with
a bad cold. We must have snow, we e1-
pect. But why call it beautifully
Beautiful! Bah! Hot buckwhest cakes
can give it four points in game OF
beauty and then beat it.
But we intended to. say, before we got
to grumbling, that We had a fall OF
about an inch of snow on Saturday, and
then about half inch of rain, and then
another quarter of an inch of snow, and
that the rain and snow thus sandwiched
have made five or six inches of mud,
and behanged to it. We hope now
that the clerk of the weather bas had
his whaok at us he will allow lngin
Summer to put in an appearance before
it gets too late We banker after lngin
