Prayer vs.. Messrs. Carpenter and Tyn-

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
late correspondent, "a. w. Blakesley." seems
indignant at Messrs. Carpenter and Tyndall Tor
holding and expressing before q s'hundred clergy
men, an adverse opinion on prayer. He says
.xhey were arrogant, impudent and ignorant.'
Let me remind him that Calico was denounced as
arrogant and impudens and ignorant when, before
large body Of the clergy, he declared that the
earth moved. Time has long since proved TO the
whole OF the civilized world to which OF the two
these debasing epithets belonged-tne philosopher
or the doctors Of divinity. One would think be-
iievers In old theological notions would learn
modessy after sucn severe reDuke. Don't believe
II, for as long as the world stands children will
prefer romance to reason.
Messrs. Carpenter and Tyndall said, as we are
informed, .tnat PRAYER never did influence God,
nor the universe, nor man In any degree.o In one
sense they were right, and In another they were
wrong. Drs. Blair and Chalmers two eminent
Scotch divines expressed the same opinion; but,
unlike Carpenter and Tyndall, they SO qualified
their language that 1t does not appear offensive.

CHANGING THE NEWSPAPER Posr.N. Sys-
TEM.---lt is now proposed to abolish the
present plan of newspaper postage and charge
entirely by weight, at the rate of two cents
pound. Such an arrangement, it is said will
be no additional expense to newspaper pub
fishers, while it will secure to the government
its entire revenue. AS the matter stands now
Postmaster James asserts that outside OF the
large cities, not more than one-third of the
newspaper postage was ever collected, owing
to the manner in which country postmastcrs
combine private business with their duties tc
the government. Thus, a country postmaster
generally keeps small store, and if q good
not often press his claim for postage at the
possible risk of injuring his other business
In this manner, he says, the government
suffers great lossthat cannot be well renetlied
Under the system proposed, the rate of two
cents per pound is so low that publishers will
not be taxed any more than at present, and
the trouble of stamping and prepaying will be
obviatcd. The bundle of papers, Or in fact
any printed matter, when delivered at the
post office, will be weighed, and the amount
charged against the paper, which will be coll
lected quarterly, rs heretofore. The fact of
paper then being in the mail will be The
best evidence that it is paid fof, and it will be
delivered in any part Of the United States
without further charge or trouble. Or, if a
newspaper does not wish to have al account
kept, book of stamps may be- retained, of
which an amount equal to the weight of the
mail matter delivered can bescapcelled by the
clerk receiving the bundles. This innovation
was proposed by. Postmaster DANES, and we
are told has received the entire concurrence OF
Postmaster General Creswcl. It is now be-
fore the Postal Committed oflCongress for
consideration. ~ %

SERIOUS AccIDENT.-Mr. Larason Stryker,
Sen., of Pittstown, on Thursday morning,
7th inst, found one of his young horses lying
in the stable, in a position from which it could
not turn itself to get upon its feet. In trying
to render assistance, he ventured too near,
and the horse struck him very severe blow
on the face, between the inner corner OF the
right eye and the margin of the nose, cutting
down to the bone, severing the eye-lids from
the side of the nose, and making wound
about two inches long, from the supra-orbital
arch downwards along the side of the nose.
The stroke glanced outwards SO as to sepa-
rate a portion of the flesh from the bone. BY
the force of the blow he was thrown with his
head against the wall of the stable with such
violence as,to 1eut two wounds through the

will be;about half . mile in length and laid in

The water in twill be about ssix inches in
