Henry Ward Beecher, on Sunday, preached
against the schemes of church union, wheth-
or planned by Pope, Protestant or Pagan,
taking the novel ground that the strength Of
the Christian religion lies in the number OF
the existing denominations. He hopes to
sec the secls increase in number rather han
combine, and prefers to have the Gospel
preached by wicked men rather than not to
have it preached at all. He did not claim
originality for these novel ideas, but showed
that they were in consonance with those Of
that astrlte lawyer, Saint Paul.

large increase in the receipts of grain at

of the falling off in the receipts during the

rates of Freights demanded from points
on the Mississippi River than to the desire
of our former patrons to ship grain by the
