= There is storm brewing within
the Episcopal Church of Chicago,
which threatens to spread and grow
more intense, until it shall agitate
and convUlse the whole organization
1t is the old quarrel of High Church
and Low Church over again. 1t ap-
pears that Rev. Mr.. Cheney of Christ
Church, in the ordinance of baptism
has been III the habit ofcmitting the
words, ''this child is regenerate. -
thereby mutilating the form pre-
/, scribed. He Is low churchman, and
does this because he does not believe
III the literal truth of the formula
Bishop Whitehouse, who is a high
churchman, with strong leanings to-
ward "ritualism, nhascommanded him
to replace the expunged words, which
he declines to do, and is therefore to be
brought before jury of his press,
selected by the Bishop, for trial ac-
cording to the rules OF the Church.
He is warmly sustained by his con-
gregation and all low churchmen and
bitterly denounced by the other
class. To make matters worse, this
quarrel takes place just as q national
convention is about TO meet in this
city, to oppose and denounce the
encroachments of the ritualists, and
1t IS more than probable the local
matter will be brought before it,
and thus become LationaliZed a s
matters look now, the breech is
more likely to be widened than
healed, and it may eventuate in a
division of the Church.
L believe / wrote you at the time
about a suit brought to contest the
will of old man Uhlich, WHO left an
estate valued at one million five
hundred and fifteen thousand dol
lars, all the proceeds of some ten
thousand invested here about twcn-
ty-five years ago,-and the greater
portion of which he willed to a con-
fidential agent, leaving his children
'out in the cold" The suit has re-
suited in breaking up the will, on
the ground that the old man was
partially non cODapuS n2eTteS at the
time, and under undue influence,
and the bulk of the estate now goes
to the children, the agent getting
only one hundred and twenty thou
sand dollars, which is a very large
sum for the services he rendered, for
they consisted mostly in getting Uh-
lich and his sons by the ears. "Serves
him right" is the general ver-
. diet of the people.
Real estate, which has been quite
dull lately, has taken another start
) upward, and last week the transfers

thing to deter your citizens from pur-
chasing, (for | sincerely consider it

try,) l would suggest that they
know who they are dealing with be

L. Clark, Streeter & Co. Hit, Hardin &

mention, are all right, and may be
relied upon, but beware Of "tryinq

"a word to the wise,n &c.
= The high tariff on sugar, and the
decrease of production at the South
, since thewar, have causedan immense
!: amount Of smuggling. Our revenue
officials recently got upon the track
of lot shipped from New Orleans,
and the other day seized some sixty
tons in Chicago, Dubuque and other
: western cities. Some of the holders
were undoubtedly innocent purchas-
, ers Others Dothalf so verdant as they
professed to be, but all will have to
suffer together.
Neatness, elegance and economy
} combined, are qualities which should
commend any article to the public,
| iC Of .iul L., I'm.
and to the above is added the power
to preserve its original quality in any
climate for an indefinite period, moth
ing more can be asked. Such is the
character of the Kettle-dried leaf
. lard put up by Fairbank, Peck &
Co., No. II La Sale street, and / am
not astOnished to learn that 1t is
meeting with an extraordinary sale.
, 1t is put up in caddies containing 8,
), Z and 10 pounds each, nett. The
caddies are OF wood air-tight, pre-
pared by a chemical process, and
neatly covered with lead foil prevent
ing any absorption or leakage, and
keeping the lard sweet in all eli
mates, making a handsome and con-
yenient package for both dealer and
consumer. The trade must at once
see the advantage of retailing this
lard, and we can cheerfully say they
will always find the gentlemen hav-
ing it for sale, honorable, straight
forward and accommodating. They
are also very great manufacturers OF
extra lard oil, pure neats-foOt oil, &C..
and offer superior inducements to
the trade. They are sound, both
financially and personally, being
among our most prominent business
men, and / am satisfied that those
who patronize them will never have
occasion to reHet it. They send cir
culars and price lists to the trade
upon application.
We are promised an improvement
in the way of street cars, or rather
an increase in the number. The new
cars are to have but one horse and
no conductor, the passengers placing
their money in a box arranged for
that purpose, and which will be
opened only by the officers of the
companies. This will stop stealing,
and the extra cars will furnish much
needed facilities for getting about
town.
1t is said that twelve thousand
gallons of milk are brought into the
city daily, over the Chicago, Bur
lingtOn & Quincy Railroad. About
three thousand gallons are furnished
by cows in the city, so we use fifteen
thousand gallons per day, worth four
thousand dollars. Quite a sum to
pay for milk, but a mere bagatelle
compared to our whisky bills.
