Tho tremendous unpleasantness that has been
in progress between the pastor and the Deasons
of the Union Park Baptist Church for several
months past has directed public curiosity toward
the main point at issue in the controversy.
Scandal the prolific child of busy rurnor and
industrious gossip, has already given the quar-
rel several dozen different aspects, each exceed
ing the other in point Of hideouaaess- Church
quarrels have, unfortunately, been TOO familiar
to the American public Of late days. and, OF
course, Chicago could not hope to e"1ape having
her Share of the excitement and Righteousness
generated by the sad fact of piously-disposed
people having falling out.
The trouble between the Rev. Florence NC
Carthy aud tho Deacons Of his church has been
already pretty we'll ventilated BY the preas, out
interest in the mntter has By no means subsided,
as affairs appear to be rapidly approaching
grand crisis, in which one eide or the other must
give way. The pastor has been, BY resolution OF
business meeting of the members OF the
church, requested to resign, but, 30 Tar, has
shown no disposition to comply with the de-
mand. Those who have come in personal con-
tact with him. know that Mr.. Mccarthy is good
talker, and there La general dis
position On the part Of friends and
foes to acknowledge that he is not lacking IN
force OF character and genuine ability.

BUSINESS rms YEAR THUS FAR
What the Figures show at Chicago
and the Northwest.

What the Figures SNOW W ChiCaBo
and the Northwest. n
The Chicago Tribune has gone to work
and thoroughly examined the business
situation Of that city in all lie ramidcR-
lions and details, and we'hsye the result
before us In an entire pSgeo Of facts and
statistics, which demonstrate the imsgln-
alive character Of much that has been
said and written In regard to the lAnguid
condition Of business thus far this year
as compared with the corresponding
period OF last year. These figures show
that the general business OF Chicago, and
all that section Of the country, Is more
prosperous now than It was this time last
year, when 10 panic was dreamed Of.
There has been actually more business
transacted during the first four months Of
the current year than In the correspond
Ing period In 1873, though in some cases
the percentage Of profits has been less.
As for the farmers oil the Northwest, 1t Is
coDclunvely shown that, as class, they
have not been so we'll Of o great many
years past as they are at the present
moment,-snd when they are prosperous,
all other interests arc necessarily thriving
also. The tables following show that
they have marketed great deal more
grain and breadstuFs than during the
same time in tho preceding year; or, for
that matter, in any other year; and what
is more, they have received better prices
for their property, They have been paid
certainly 10 cents per bushel more for
their wheat, nearly twice as much for
their corn, and half cent per pound
more for their hogs than the average Of
past winters, in addition TO the fact that
they have forwarded more Of the property
on which to receive these increased prices

The several departments OF city trade,
we are assured, reflect to a remarkable ex.
tent tho favorable influences Of this in
creased movement in the great staples.
For example: The leading dry goods
dealers report an increase oil % per cent
over last year, up TO date, and agree that
country collections are much better than
ever before, ana that no difficulty is
now experienced IN meeting liabilities.
Tho grocers report an increase in the vol
umc Of sales equal to 20 per cent. The
lumber trade also shows q satisfactory In.
crease Prices have been about 10 per
ceut'lower, but this has been fully Offset
to dealers by the fact that there has been
better margin Of profit because the cost
Of lumber 10 the local trade was proper
tiOnately less. The dealers in boots and
shoes report an increase Of IS per cent,
and the wholesale clothing dealers make
asImilar return. Wholesale milliners re.
port an increase Of from 20 to rs per cent
In the cash received, while the quantity
Of goods sold was probably from So TO 40
per cent greater than last year, owing to
diminished prices. The trade in hard.
ware Is also satisfactory. We might con,
tlnue the catalogue, wero it necessary, to
show the groundlessnefS Of much Of the
current complaining.
Noticing this interesting exhibit of the
Chicago Tribune, the New York Bulletin
remarks that what is set forth In regard
to Chicago applies also 10 New York, and
other cities. It remarks also that the
complaining habit Is largely abstract and
sentimental, and-sO far as business affairs
are commemorative most radical cure for
itBarigid application Of hard facts Of the
kind We have here adduccd. II remarks
further that what has been said TO the dis
parsgement Of Chicago Is often said Of
New York also; but, as could be shown,
with as little reason or justice in tho one
case as In the other.
Perhaps in this connection We ought to
repeat a remark that VIC made about the
business Of Wheeling the other day
wherein we observed that as many nails,
II not more, were selling this spring as
were sold last spring, although prices are
lower and less satisfactory. There Is not
q single manufacturing concern in Wheel.
Ing, 90 far as We know, now standing idle
for thelack Of orders, They are generally
all running full time and selling their
product close up,
The facts are, as the New York Post
observed in lie Wednesdays issue, that
the country is essentially strong, and is
sounder now than since the outbreak Of
the war; that there are excellent reasons
Why weShould have q good fall trade, 1t
beginning In August that the indications
arc that We shall have good crops, and
that with the return Of confidence, which
iswaiting.ior the adjournment Of Con-
greA or for proper action on It's part, we

RUTLAND COUNTY AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY.
rWENrY-NINTln ANNUAL EAiI
second Day.

On Thursday, the second day of the
fair, the attendance was much larger than
on the first day, and quite number more
of articles were on exhibition, yet in those
respects the fair has not been near the sue
cess that it should have been. The receipts
of the fair have been enough to pay all
the expenses of the society and have
enough left TO nearly pay the premiums in
full. The attractions for the day were the
games of base ball, and the trotting in the
afternoon for the society's purse, and the
running race, the last being the principal
one, and over the result of which there was
much excitement.
The morning was occupied by the Name
less of Rutland and the Actives OF Fair
haven, who played a game of base ball for
the first premium, $50, offered by the So
ciety. The Nameless won the game and
took the purse, as will be seen by the fol-
loving
