Healing Them.eIrcs Fir.r

Says the New York JourRai Of Com
meroe' Many of those clcrgymen who
deeply grieve over the Increasing disre-
gard for the sacredness of the first day
of the week have themselves chiefly 10
blame for it. Let them look into their
own hearts and they will see the reason
why so many of their pews are empty.
and the former occupants lolling on
sofas at home reading Sunday papers,
riding in the Park, or joining in martial
commemorative professions like those of
Sunday last. 1t is nonsense for clergy
men who have been preaching and
praying politics once or twice every
Sunday to expeat that Ly meeting in
convention annually, in some city like
New York, and adopting resolutions
deploring the desecration of the Sabbath,
they can nsutralize the legitimate effect
of their own teachings all the rest ofthe
year. The hold of the pulpit upon the
pews has been so n Rch weakened of late
that nothing bat the most complete
abandonment OF the whole policy OF
secular, partisan preaching can keep it
from becoming altogether detached.
We do not mean that all, or a great
part, of even such churches will cease to
be filled. Eloquent preaching on top
les of the day, great organs, fine music
and the pomp and show Of ceremonies,
may make seats in churches bring a
higher price per year than box at the
opera. This may be the case for years
to come, and long after the pastors Of
such churches have ceased to have
particle of spiritual influence upon their
congregations.

The sheen Question.

We were evidently more scared thar
hurt by the sheep panic of last year
This at least is the inference to be drawn
from the talk of our farmers as they
discuss the sheep question now. The
number of sheep in the State or in any
particular county may be less than re-
ported last year, but the ratio of good
sheep is larger, because our cool-headed
stock men have taken occasion to i'm
prove their flocks by selling off the bad
and purchasing the better grades, and
if we have not as many sheep we AaVe
more flocks, and better ones, too. This
is one good result of the panic. 1t is
quite probable that the assessors re-
turns will show as many sheep in the
State at this time as at this date last
year. There were reported last year
7 .6S8, ,845 sheep in the State, valued at

R,y.I Rou,es of Trade.

The Western COMMITTEES which re-
centIy visited the East to contriVe ar
rangemenGs for the cheaper transporta-
ton of grain to the seaboard, says the
Psitimere SIM, report that Govsrnor
Hoffman, of the State. of New York, re-
CARDS the entire tolls on grain on the
Erie canal as a nero bagatelle compared
with the vast Importance to Buffalo,
OsTepo, Albany and New York Of re-
tanning the business, and that he will,
therefore, recommend that the canal
tolls now six cents per bushel,r be
wholly abolished if necessary. An en-
thnsiastic Western importer told the
late New Orleans Commercial Conyen-
rion, according to the PiCayIns, that
Entopean goods can be laid down in
St. Louis. via New 0rleans-aye, that
thew are laid down there cheaper than
thew can be landed in New York. Bal
timore, standing between these two
routes of trade, affords a convenient
medium line which the West would do

The "AIrcr Egon OF Secretary Borie

An order was recently given by Secre-
tary BOrie to the effect that the sigma
ture of Admiral Porter to any Official
paper of the Navy Department should
be considered and regarded as of equal
authority with his own name. The
NaGonnl IatelHgeHccr then said that sHch
a signature to a paper would not, in law,
be worth the paper on which it was
written, and, therefore, we are not sur
prtsed to hear that the Treasury De-
partment has ignored q requisition
which had the signature of Admiral
Porter, not as Acting Secretary of the
Navy under appointment by the Presi-
dent, but as executed under the order
in question of Mr.. Bore.
! There seems TO be little like unity in
the Cabinet. 1t was but a day since
that the President, by the extraordinary
step of proclamation, censured before
the country and the world the action OF
both Mr., Borie and Mr.. Hoar, the Attor.
ney General.

A severe storm passed over our city
about one o'clock yesterday, which
seemed to have the power ef young
hurricane. IL commenced to darken
very rapidly, the wind whistled most
fearfully and the rain fell in torrents,
with some hail. 1t lasted but a few
minutes. When the wind was at its
height, the Fleetwood and Grey Eagle
which were tied up at the wharf, were
blown around into The Kanawha river
with terrible force, and at one tine seri-
Gus consequences were apprehended;
but extra lines we're thrown out and the
full power of the engines brought into
requisition which prevented them from
breaking loose. If the Fleetwood had
broken her line she would have collided
with the Kanawha bridge, which would
probably have resulted in the destruc-
ton of both boat and bridge.-PWkerg

AGrent HniI storm.

Our country was visited on Friday,
2Sth ultimo, by one of the most terrlhC
and destructive hail storms that has
been experienced in this county during
the present generation. During the day
the weather had been exceedingly close,
and the storm of ice was not only dis
aster but surprise. The storm-or the
worst portion of it-entered cur county
near West Alexander, and travelled In a
vein about mile wide, almost due east,
through DONEGAL, East Finley, Buffalo,
Franklin, &C., carrying devastation
among the grain fields and fruit Or
chards. At West Alexander a large
amount of glass was broken by the de.
scending hail along the entire path of
The storm. Crops of all kinds were more
or less injured, and in many cases en-
tirely destroyed. In Amwell the
storm appears to have shown
its greatest power for destruc-
tion. Upon the farms of George
Yankirk, Hiram Vankirk and others,
it was particularly severe. Upon
the farm of the former a large field OF
grain was prostrated and utterly de-
stroyed. In Franklin the farms of John
| V. Lacock, Daniel Moore and Others
suffered very severely. The hail fell
from the size of walnut to that of a
hens egg, and in such quantities as in
some places to cover the ground to the
depth of more than foot. The charaC
ter of the ice-balls may be judged from
the fact that on Saturday morning a
sufficient quantity of hail was still
lying on the west side of Mr.. Yankirk' S
mill to fill a wagon. 1t is impossible at
this time to give a full detail of the
storm or to estimate the amount of loss
to our citizens along it route Wash

1T is stated that Swiss professor ol

communicating to the coal which
abounds in the valleys of the Alps all
the qualities of the best English coal
The process employed consists of an
inexpensive chynical preparation, by
which the coal Of the Alps is mixed with
naphtha and bitumen, obtained in large

the expectations formed be realized
Italy would no longer require to import
coal. 1t is stated that the plan is al.
