To THE EDITOR OF THE CoLUM-
BIAN I'm your last issue there is an
article, in review of one on "The
Years of Peter" lately published in the
Irish World. The comment purports
to be by the Rev. Mr.. ORvIs. Passing
over various assumptions, which might
be controverted, the commentator
closes with the following paragraph.
The Italics are his own:
During the life time of the Apostles,
there was q plurality of Bishops, or
elders, In each local congregation OF
christians. If Peter was one of these
bishops in the church in the city of
Rome, he was only one of board OF
Bish0ps, or Elders-all possessed Of
equal authority as to that local church.
and neither of them, by virtue of that
Office, possessed of any authority any
where else. For Diocessian Bishops
had not then been invented. The cen.
tralizltion and consolidation of ecclesi.
astical power into vast Hierarchy
and the constitution of grades of ecclesi-
astical officers, corresponding to the
grades of civil offices in the Roman
Empire was the work of after ages
dnd VdS necer authorized either Jy Chrisi
or His apostles.
l most respectfully ask for his author
ity for the assertions made in the first
three of the above sectences; and yer
biage apart, for that in the last, thai
orders in the ministry were never au
thorized either by Christ or His Apos
ties. II

Public Order.

SIR:-There seems to be some mis-.
tiness and uncertainty in the COM
mon mind, as to the duties of citizens,
in the preservat ion of Public Order in
our town. There are various good rea.
sons why these matters should be bet |
ter understood, and with that under.
standing better practice prevail. 1t
is well settled to be the duty of the
Town Council "to preserve order, and
maintain the peace of the Town." "to
provide lookup" and "to appoint
proper corporate officers - "to secure
the peace, order and we'll being of the
inhabitants"
But it seems to be the opinion of
"The Inhabitants" that when they
have elected Town Council, which
body has provided a lock up, and ap-
pointed high constable, that their
own duties have been faithfully and
fully performed, and that the machine
will run Of its own inherent power.
Scenes occasionally happen upon the
streets which show that something
more is 4quired. Some unruly and
intoxicated fellow makes disturbance
within saloon, or upon the side walk,
and it becomes the duty of the High
Constable to take charge of him, and
have him return to himself, in the lock-
up.
AS soon as the arrest is made, all the
loafers in the saloons pour upon the
streets, and in one way and another OBJ.
struct the officer in the discharge of his
duty. Many well meaning citizens
gather about to look on, and perhaps
laugh at the struggles of the victim,
and the labOred efforts of the officer to
secure him. The good moral effects of
the arrest and confinement are lost in
the confusion, and some times worse
than confusion of the occasion. And
right here the duty of the good citizen
comes in, and the officer is entitled tC
the full exercise of it. lie is entitled
not only to their moral, but to their ac
tual physical support. The law IS as
follows:
cor if any person being required by
any sheriff, coroner, constable, or othe
I officer of the commonwealth, shall neg
lect or refuse to assist him in the exc
cution of his Office in any criminal case
a or in the preservation Of the peace, or il
=, apprehendiag andSecring any ypersonJo
, a breach of he peace; such person shal
be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on con
l. viction be sentenced to an imprison
O ment not exceeding one year, and I
pay a fine not exceeding one hundre'
dollars, or either, or both, in the discrt
., tion of the Court" Grim. Code, Marc
. 81, 1860, Section 10.
a Having the right therefore to call VI
o. on all good and other citizens for III
81 sistance, the gaping crowd may SON
i. time suddenly find itself elected to be
peace officer; under the penalty of fiji
and imprisonment for neglect of dut
x. Mr.. WOODWARD can do without Il
ry office OF High Constable much bett

at to lose his services in that behalf Gil

on last Saturday afternoon, on the farm
of Mr.. SEIBERT, above Light Street.

Mr.. SETBERT for supper, which was
furnished in good style, although it
was observed that some had lost their
usual good appetite.

Another Fire!

The storm of last Wednesday even
ing was accompanied by some very
severe lightning and thunder. A little
after seven o'clock the Planning Mill of
the bloomsbury Lumber company was
struck and instantly fired. Although
the fire was first discovered in the north
eastern corner of the building, the
lightning probably struck the metallic
stack and from thence running through
the building no doubt simultaneously
fired all the most combustible material
on the floor. There was no person in the
building at the time. 1t was complete
ly enveloped in flames, and nothing ex.
cept some finished work was saved. The
building, all the machinery and tools,
and large amount of lumber were en-
entirely destroyed. About 500 900 feet
of rough lumber was burnt. The total
loss probably amounts to 100000 to
100000. Insurance 5000.
The dwelling of Mr.. JOHN COLEMAN,
near the mill, was entirely consumed.
Loss 81 ,O00-insuranc on house $500, on
furniture $500. The hous, hold furni.
turc and goods were all saved in dam
aged condition.
The fire company and large num-
ber of citizens were promptly on the
ground, but for want Of water little
could be done except to save the build.
