ONE church in this city, Trinity-on. the
Hill, is to be free church. 1t is move IN
the right direction, but there is stll apo,ber
change desirable, and that is open churches.
not open only on Sundays and on stated even.
ings during the week for public services, but
upon every day and all day for individual
convenience. Every traveller on the conti-
nent notices the open churches with here and
there worshipper at his or her devotions.
Many one, when harassed, and distracted,
and almost despairing. would be glad to ac-
cept the invitation OF the open church door,
and escape tor lew moments the annoyances
and vexations of every day lite. Many have
no quiet retreat at home tor private devotion,
ana II they had, the moral atmosphere of
Gods house is much more conducive to de-
votional frame of mind than any other can be.
Daliy public services, also, ought to be held
IN one or more churches in every large town
or city. The Fulton street church and st.
PauPs in New York, have daily large audi
ences, gathered at the appointed hour, prov
ing the universal longing of men for the
means OF religious teaching and desire for
devotional exercises. 1t is to be hoped that
the custom of keeping open churches will be
generally adopted In this country. As ner-
vous, bustling, AMI hurried people, we require
such means Of relaxation and religious conso-
lation more than any other.-Hartyord Post

Ed. STATES & UNIoN-Dear Sir
MI. Gorham's explanation" with re
gard 'eto a certain Knanbe Piano" was
not as full and free as VIC might cx
pect from an honest, open-hearted citi-
zen, in whose life and character, Gin
cefIty anil unsel6< hness OF purpose
have done tlseii perfect work. We
always reverence age, and have re-
sPect for gray hairs, and it may be
that the more prominent points in tina:
transaction have become obscure to his
mind, and lost their definiteness in the
rush and turmoil of intervening years
His explanation was as unsatisfactory
as it was uncalled for. He did not
read Alright.
There was no enquiry" whatever
with regard to the Piano. We stated
distinctly that we were acquainted
with the present p~roprletorship of it,
and knew how it was brought about.
Years agone that mystery was unrav-
eled, and the veil all swept away
The Ladies who gave the Festival tax
ed their brains tn seek out new inven-
tons to make money and burnt their
fingers baking pyramids and cooking
oysters, have not forgotten that the
entire proceeds, amounting to over
two hundred dollars, was Immediately

Politics and religion were alike ig-
nored and UNCONVENTIONAL differences
and partizan prejudices for the
time being, buried, and forgotten in
their zeal for the common cause. No
entertainment, either before or since
ever compared with it financially
The gentlemen who responded so lib
orally to the subscription circulated
among them to procure mating for
the Hall, have not forgotten that all
over and above what paid for that
article was also applied upon the Pi-
mo-.
We were told by the agent that We
had secured a very fine Instrument-
one worth four hundred and fifty dol
ars, but, in consideration of the fact,
that a Musical School had been estab-
lished here, that might be the means
of beneftting, and widely advertising
the Knaube establishment, a liberal
deduction was made in the prices, but
still the proceeds of the Festival and
all the funds that could be raised by
other nseans, we're found insufficient
to cover the cost, and Messrs. Green
ewald and Roller generously became
security for the payment. When the
Agent again called, there was q bal

1t will be seen, therefore, that the EEK

since our really honest and we'll meant
inquiries for the mating have been
met with silent contempt, we propose
to give the result of our new research
es. At the close of the last session Of
the Ohio Normal Academy of Music
it became evident that regime of af-
fairs must be instituted, and in view
of the fact that the old dispensation
was passing away, the mating was
removed to Mr.. Gorham's Store, and
from that place eas sold in large or
small quantities to suit the conven
fence of purchasers, and the proceeds
pocketed, either by Mr.. Gorham or
the former administration alluded to
in a previous article. We challenge
contradiction, and can give the names
of purchasers forthwith.
