Differences Between the Protestant and
Reformed Episcopal Churches Por-
trayed ~ Bishop Cheney.
Yesterday morning goodly congregation in ap-
pearance ana numbers gathered In the neat little
chapel on Cumberland street, between DeK alb
and Lafayette avenues, Brooklyn, when, after an
abridged morning service - adopted during the
past week BY the Reformed COUNCIL, Bishop Cheney
preached sermon founded on the words OF little
David to his big brother previous to the slaughter
by the FORMER OF the giant OF Gath. who deed the
armies OF the living God :-"What have I now
donef Is there not cause ~ L samuel, xviii, 20.
The Bishop called attention to q strange c0lnci-
dence that wnen few weeks ago he preached on
this subject and from this text IN his own church
In Chicago another able minister Of the church
in New York had used the same text for the same
purpose. In discussing the proposition OF Differ
ences existing between the two branches OF the
Episcopal Church, the Protestant and the Re.

On Wednesday evening the monthly meeting of the Sunday echool association was held with programme of more than usual interest. These meetings are so- cal Tn their character. Reading, recita- tlons, dialogues. vocal and instrumental music are intermixed, the little people and the big ones each having their allotted parts. A full house was present. The more interesting parts on this occasion were the singing of some hyms and tunes of the olden time and the rendering of a poem by Rev. c. N. Fitch on a historical event in Roman history, which was done in manner that but few of the experts in elocution could excell.

There has been considerable discussion in the House over a bill requiring persons conveying land to state in their deeds the exact consideration paid for the lands conveyed. The measure was strenuously advocated by Mir. Goodwin of East Hart ford, with a view of obtaining better ba- SIS of assessing real estate than can now be reached. The opposition to the bill was no doubt grounded on the policy of the law which interferes as little as possi- ble with private transactions and only requires the title to lands, not their value, to appear of record. By an amendment Mr. Goodwin also renewed the often re- peated demand for an assessment of real and personal property at equal rates. There is no doubt of the justice of this demand; but with such an equaliza- ton should come more thorough assess ment of personal property, much of which now escapes taxation altogether. The bill in question was rejected. as every bill that may increase the burden of taxes on real estate is likely to be by legislature elected principally by farmers.

The proposed constitutional amendment increasing the number of Senators in- stead of carrying by the two thirds vote re- quired, in the Honse, last week, had majority of more than two to one against It. Probably tho action of tho legisla- tnre was influenced by doubt of the va- lidity of their acticn in case of a favora- ble vote. A clause providing that no town should be divided was by clerical error interpOlated into the resolution as printed with the laws; so that the people were not correctly informed regarding the change proposed. Still we doubt wheth- CT the measure could have had a two thirVls vote in any case. Litchfield and other counties that have an unfair advan- tage under the present arrangement do not seem to think that the golden rule should influence their action on constitu- tional reform.

Tho railroad committee reported unanimously for permitting the change, as have the railroad commissioners. It is claimed. on the one hand, that the dis continuance of existing stations would be a great damage to manufactories located near those stations. On the other, it is shown that the through business of this railroad is much injured by the frequent, and as they claim unnecessary stoppages at stations located so near each other as tO render fast time impossible.

EMr. HAMILTON HAY. of Clay
township, just below the mouth of
Raccoon, has Unexpectedly developed
a valuable vein Of coal on his place
1t is low down in the hill. some twenty
feet above common high water, and but
thr~ee-fourths of a mile from the river.
The vein is four feet and one half inch
in thickness, and is underlaid by six
inches of slate, Immediately above it are
thirteen inches of soap stone, and above
that another vein Of coal of 19 inches,
with three inches of slate between it
and the rock. Mr.. Hay has furnished
us with a specimen of the coal. 1t is
pronounced by good judges to be a
superior article.
