THE TWO CHURCHEs--TIIE QUESTION oF THE
couNcI,Is POWER RESERVED FOR THE PRIVATE
SESSION.
The last omen session Of the congregational Cou1"
cll was held yesterday morning in the Clmton-aVe'
Church A resolution was presented by the Kew
William y. Brown. affirming that tho Council was
or portS ircgulaIly called, and therefore no' guam
fed to render any decisions or give any ADVICE "C
could be construed as rejecting upon fNmon'h
Church. Il was decided that this was ont Of order
inasmuch rs the Committee of the two churches hau
boon nron,ised final hearing at that time; II coud
bo discussed at the secret session. and was OF I'M
,,,rtance as II reDresented the views OF Few at
loast of the delegates. The Rev. DR.. Budngton
spoplcmcntcd briefly his remarks OF the previous
evening npon the independence of the Church ana
the RESPONSIBILITIES Of Christian fellowship, speaking
with much feeling of the duties which had rested as
q burden during the past few months, upon the
minds and souls of the members of the Committee,
and entreatng the Council Ia speak plainly ana de-
cidedy 10 them series Of questions was presented
hv tho Rev. DR.. Rankin respecting the early steps
taken by the two pastors and Committees to avoid
public break between these churches and Plymouth
Church and the subsequent efforts TO obtain mu-
tual council. 1t was also inquired whether any
direct or indirect influence brought TO bear by
the pastors upon those who brought the charges,
within Plymouth Church, against Mr.. Tilton.
The Rev Dr. Storrs explained the course pursued
by the two churches. He also compared the inter
probation Of the disputed rules of Plymouth Church
as now gwen by that church, with that given in the
manual Of 1854. and asked the Council TO determine
how LARGE, how rich how powerful church must
be in ordor to make it possible for 1T to do what IL
has a mind to do, and be liable to no remonstrance
from its Christian neiGhbors. He made an eloquent
plea for the genuine and unalloyed principles OF
Congree 1tionalism. lie spoke for nearly an hour
and half and at the close Of his remarks the pub
lie session of the Council was adjourned, and the
delegates repaired TO the upper room OF the church.
Among the prominent ministers present who repre-
sented other denominations or who were not con-
nected with the Council. were the Rev DIR. Schaif'
tho Rev. DIR. William Adams, the Rev. Dr. Cuyier,
the Rev DIR. Talmage, the Rev. Washington Glad
den. tho Rev. J. c. Ager, the Rev. w. l.. Gage, and

How to Give q Fire Alarm.

In order to avoid confusion and mlsun-
derstanding at the water works engine
house the old mode of giving a fire alarm
has been abolished. 1t had been the rule
to open the plug for a minute or two,
then close it, then repeat the number OF
the ward. This led to confusion and often
false alarms. The rule now is as follows:
Open the plug suddenly, and keep it open
about 80 seconds, then close it for the same
space of time then repeat the same oper-
alton. doing this once more than the num-
Der of the ward where the fire is. Always
take care to open suddenly, and be careful
to make the space between openings the
same as while open. A good way would
be to count 30 or 40. or some number
above 30 as soon as the plug is opened
then shut it and count the same number
then repeat the same operation
once more than the number o
the ward. Firemen and citizens viii
then always know that 2 alarms mean thu
Ist ward, 3 alarms the I'd ward, A the 3t
ward, ) the 4th ward and the 9th ward
Those who cannot remember these direc
tons should get some one to give the alarm
who can do it correctly. Some metho
should also be taken by the person VIII
gives the alarm to know that the RICH
number of alarms is given, so as not
mislead the fremen.

with the premises, an excellent livery sta
bic, which is we'll supplied with fine car
riages and good horses.
Mr.. Hutchins formerly kept the Rodman
House, in this city. He had some strong
friends here, and enemies too. He was q
very independent man-asked no favors OF
anybody paid all his debts, and wanted
people to pay him if they owed him. lie
