Rainfall and Forests.

THERE are persons who persistently
ignore all facts, observations and theories
in regard to the influence of forests upon
the amount of rain that falls in certain
countries and localities. These men pre-
tend to believe that if all the forests of
this country were destroyed, we should
still have our full supply of rain. The
cutting down of few acres of trees may
not produce any perceptible change, but
the removal of any extensive tract OF forest
will show marked effect upon the climate
in the immediate vicinity We have anu
thenticated reports from Egypt showing
that the fall Of rain in certain districts
where extensive forests have lately been
planted has increased more than three-fold
in consequence. And not long since, the
Meteorological Society of Mauritius re-
ported that, by the destruction of some of
the largest forests, the climate,
which hads formerly been too wet
for growing sugar cane successful
ly, had now become sufficiently dry
to insure full crop annually. Land that
had been cold and wet was made dry by
removing the forests in close proximity to

see the alacrity with which the President
arose from his seat, grasped the papers,
and gave his order to General Porter to re-
lease this man from custody and remit the
penalty for "services renderedrhe United
States since conviction" He made no
palaver about it, expressed no opinion,
entered into no argument, but just did the
thing right off, as if he could not be too
quick about it, and letter of this day,
received from the delighted soldier be-
dewed by the grateful tears Of his widow
ed mother, proves to me that the President
did a righteous act, which will cause the
prayers of grateful hearts to ascend for
his welfare

How CIRCUS ANIMALS ARE TRAINED
is great mystery and most attractive subject for
guess-work on the part of boys II they are desir
GUS of knowing all the secrets of the trainers art
by which they can understand how all the feats
they see at public exhibitions are so achieved as
well as teach tricks to their own pets, we advise
them to invest fifty cents in Haney's Art of Train
ing Animals (Jesse Haney Co., 119 Nassau street,
New York;, which tells how all kinds of animals
are instructed, from elephants, to rats, mice and
feas. The system of horse breaking training of
sporting dogs, care and tuition of singing, talking
and performing birds, are each alone worth many
times the cost of the entire book to those in
terested in these special topics, while the whole
work is so very complete, interesting and really
valuable that we do not see how any boy can help
being delighted with it. To farmers, stock-raisers
and others it will be good investment, and put
money in their purses. The merely curious will be
gratifed to know how dogs can be taught to play
dominOes, select any designated article from a
promiscuous heap and give to any designated per-
son, horses to dance, fire pistols, find hidden ar
ticles, kiss their master, answer questions, &C.,
ana hogs to tell fortunes, tell anybodys age spell
words, &c. besides almost countless number
OF marvellous feats performed by these and other
animals.-NeD Yorker.

portion of the island, near the mountains

The Convention Of Delewtre met,
adopted the Constitution unanimously,
aud adjourned in single day.
The convention Of Pennsylvania adopt
ed the Constitution by vote Of 46 years
to % nays.
The Convention of New Jersey adopt
ed the Constitution unanimously.
The Convention of Massachusetts, was
composed of $50 members, and when it
met was opposed to adopting the Consti-
tuition. The majority for its ratification
was only nineteen votes.
When the Convention OF New York
met, the opponents of the Constitution
were about two-thirds of the whole body.
Alexander Hamilton's logic and eloquencc
secured majority for it.
North Carolina remained out of the
Union more than eight months after the
new government went into operation
The Convention met and adopted 'res-

amendments ought to be laid before Con-
gress and the Convention previous TO its
ratification by the State OF North Caro-

solved.
Rhode Island remained out of the Un-

General Assembly, instead of calling a
Convention to consider the Constitution,
referred that instrument to direct vote
OF the people at their town meetings.
Only 232 voted for the adoption of the
Constitution, 2,70S voted against it.
Subsequently the Legislature called q
Convention, the Governor giving the
casting vote for so doing in the smaller
branch of the Legislature. The Con-

majority of only two votes, the yeas be.

ROWDYISM.
NInYn W.. HihernIR.

We give the following statement as we our
selves received it:-Early this morning, whilst
the Hibernia Fire Company was proceeding to
the fire at Fifteenth and Walnut streets, they
were met at Eighth and Walnut by large crowd
of the members and adherents of the Moyamen-
sing Hose Company, who had evidently been
lying in wait for them. Not being prepared for
battle, the Hibernia halted, and for time both
companies refused to move. At length the Moya
started off and turned up Tenth street; the Hi
bernia then started out Walnut street, but on
reaching Tenth street they were attacked by the
Moya roughs (who had returned) and severely
handled. Andrew j. Casey, of the Hibernia,
was badly beaten, as well as several others. The
Mayor should at once investigate this matter.
The Hibernia members, after returning home,
gathered together a large crowd and proceeded
with their carriage to Eighth and Fitzwater
streets, where they raised cry which was soon
responded to by the Moya. Another row en-
sued, and the carriage of the Hibernia was taken
from the members. Finally the tumult subsidel
and the carriage being recovered the Hibernia
returned home.

RECOGNITION sERvIcEs.-The beautiful new
edifice of the Beth-Eden Baptist Cnurch, at the
corner of Broad and Spruce streets, was filled
with a large audience last evening on the occa-
sion of the recognition services of the new
church. large council had been held the
Thursday previaus, composed of ministers and
members of the Baptist churches in Philadelphia
and it had been resolved unanimously to recog-
nize and welcome the new church, composed of
two hundred persons formerly members of the
Spruce Street Baptist Church. The sermon was
preached by Rev. P, s. Henson, ID. D.. pastor of
the Memorial Baptist Church, from Romans
IS 11-"Knowing the time" An excellent
charge to the new church was given by Rev.
Charles Keyser and the hand of fellowship, in
behalf of all the churches, was extended by Rev.
George Dana Boardman, ID. D., pastor of the
First Baptist Church.
After few remarks from the pastor, Rev. j.
Wheaton Smith, ID. D., a collection and subscrip-
tons were taken amounting TO nearly eteUen
thousand dollars. Two ladies gave five hundred
dollars each.
The new edifce is an ornament to Philadel-
phia. A legacy of fifteen thousand dollars from
DIR. David Jayne nobly aided In originating this
well-executed enterprise. When the steeple is
built the edifee will be unsurpassed In beauty
by any similar building In the city.
