published, it will be seen that Rev, A,
Rittenhouse, who has filled the M. L.

has been transferred back to the Phila-
delphia Conference. His removal from
our midst was unlocked for until quite
recently, and caused great disappoint-
ment and regret, not only among the
congregation he has so acceptably serv-
ed, but among the townspeople general
~. Withc ut attempting panegyric,
which mightappear fulsome on our part,
and be distasteful to the reverned gen

premises. AS a minister no predeces.
sor ever filled that pulpit with more
ability or accertability; as pastor he
visited his ficck faithfully, and was sim
cerely beloved; as an executive he has
had few superiors, and few, ifany, have
left the business affairs of the Church in
better conditions; as Sunday School in.

EXPLAINING AWAY THE New
HAMPSHIRE ELEcTIon.-Grant's toa-

the New Hampshire election.
Here are few questions for them
Do they know any way to explain
the Governor elect out Of the executive
chair
Do they know any way to explain the
three new members of Congress out of
their seats ? t
Do they know how to explain away
the votes which these three members
of Congress will give uniformly against
Gen. Grant
After the fourth of March, s 7 81
Gen. Grant will have nothing to do but
drink and make explanations. But
neither his explanations will Lver put

request of several societies, had been de-
livering lectures before them during the
evenings of the past Winter. He was to
have delivered a lecture before the

and desired to illustrate it by some ex-
periments, in which oxygen gas was
necessary. On the afternoon of that day

retort from the FURNACE and placed it on
the hearth when it exploded. The piec-
es flew in several directions and against
the oeiling-the brick upon which the
retort set was ground the powder. The
noise attracted those engaged in the
store, among whom was Mr.. b. Is father,

they found him on the floor, unconsci-

as they dared, but fears exist that a

IS consent, it is essential that the
President and his Secretary Of State
shall be able to understand the views
of the Senate, ana the organ or medi-
UNI of communication between them
for this purpose, which is confidential
in the highest degree, is the Chairman
of the Foreign Affairs Committee
Now it stands to reason that parties oc-
eupying this close and confidential re-
lation, involving our intercourse with
and conduct towards foreign powers,
should stand on terms of mutual respect
and cordial goodwill towards each 9TH
other, if the important business they
charge is to be fully, frankly and fair
ly discussed, and so conducted as to
promote the best interests of the coun-
try. Mr.. Sumner does not stand on
such terms with the President and Sec
rotary of State. On the contrary he
occupies an attitude of open hostility
to them, and they have naturally be-
come hostile to him. That is the fact,
and it does no set aside the fact to &c
into an inquiry as to who is to blame
for its existence. Everybody, howev-
er, who is acquainted with the Senate
debates must know how difficult tasl
it has been for his brother Senators o.
his own party to get along with Mr.
Summers domineering and intoleran

fore the III. l.. Conference, ON Thursday
evening, said that there were four places
whore liquor was sold to every school
house in the United Statos, and that in

whiskey to every schoolhouse. When "a
a man gets up before so intelligent an
