drift-current which is believed to set into the
South Pacific and endanger its ship routes.
But the Investigations of Ross. Wilkes and
d'Urville suggest that the current sets north
ward from latitude IS deg. south and between
the meridians of 167 deg. and 1T deg. west.
In view Of the recently stated desire of the
Navy Department to send out Polar expedi-
ton, we venture to suggest that, in connection
with the observations of the transit of Venus
in 1874, the purposes of practical science, the
investigation of Polar meteorology, the inter-
ests of navigation, might be best subseryed by
an Antarctic surveying expedition. The dis
covery of the physical conditions which pro-
duce the celebrated phenomenon Of low
barometer, SO bewildering to the mariner in
the south seas-when, with Sir James Ross,
he finds that the mercury at twenty-nine
inches there betokens fine weather-is dis
covery yet to be made, and one which will
fecundate the whole science of meteorology, if
it is ever made, much more than the finding
of either Pole

The Kelsey Murder ana Mystery.

We are glad to notice that Governor Dix
has taken some preliminary steps looking 70
an official State investigation into matters
connected with the barbarous treatment and
alleged subsequent murder of Charles G.
Kelsey at Huntington i. l. 1t would, per-
haps, have been better had the proper legal
officer of the State (the Attorney GeneraD
taken the initiative in the special examina-
ton. The case was given to the Coroner's
jury last evening, but up to late hour the
verdict had not been rendered. The evidence
given yesterday presented the usual features
of this deplorable affair-namely, testimony
offered on one side and fatty contradicted
on the other, involving perjury on at
least one side. The California skeleton of q
living Kelsey having been abandoned, the
idea of political conspiracy is now intro
duced for the defence of the suspected par
ties. One might as well expect o political
conspiracy among the clam shells on the clam
banks of Coney Island or Little Neck as
political conspiracy for any purpose among
the unsophisticated aborigines of Huntington,
L. l., and vicinity.

Ex-PREsDENr JOHNSON ON THE CoNsTITU-
T1oN is an old story, and yet in his discourse
on the subject the other evening at Washing
ton there was much matter entitled to the
thoughtful attention of the American people.
Granting that we have outlived that old-time
absurdity that there is degree of sacredness
in the ordinances of the constitution which
commands our respect when oil other argu-
ments fail, and granting that Mr. Johnson's s
present ideas were those of generation which
has passed away, his general argument on the
dangers which menace the liberties of the peo-
pie is none the less adapted to the present
time We know, at all events, that there is
no danger in the honest faith and old-fash-
ioned patriotism of Andrew johnson.

the other, the dyspeptic, dogmatic Puritan,

The Fremont weekly journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County, Ohio) 1867-1877, 1873-05-09
St. PauPs Church

Some account of the Improvements made in
st. Pauls Church in this city, may be of in
tersst to the readers of the Journal An ad-
dition of fourteen feet has been made at the
rear end, of the full width aud highth of the
original edifcs. The bnttresses and the rear
wall (Which rises above the roof are capped
and ornamented with Amherst stone. Under
the new part is an excellent furnace for heat
ing the church. 1t also contains handsome
recess-ehanoel, organ chamber, and vestry
room, the two former connecting with each
other and with the audience room by arches.
The old gallery, seats, pulpit, etc, have been
removed. The new seats are of substantial
and handsome pattern, the ceiling is laid off
in panels by beams and mouldings, the win
dow frames are new and the glass of beautiful
colors. The memorial window in the ehancel
is the gift of Rev. A. Phelps, formerly rector
of the church. The pulpit, desk, chancel-rail
and carpets are all in keeping with the re-
mainder of the church. The latter were pur-
chased and put upon the floors by the ladies
of the congregation. The cost of ali these i'm
proVements amount to a little over eight
thousand dollars. Since the re-opening of the
church there has been a decided increase in
the congregation, and all the friends of the
parish feel greatly encouraged. The plans
include tower and spire which when erected
ut is hoped at no very distant day. will rem
der the church an ornament to our city. Good
church edifices reflect credit upon any COM
munity. May there be an increase of attend
ance upon public worship and true religion,
corresponding with the improvements made
in the church edifiees of several of the congre-
cations of this city within the past year or
more, c.
