The Presbyterian Ministerial Association nas
had an animated discussion of some resolutions
proposing protest against the action of the
Legislature few years since, in making Good
Friday a legal holiday. The subject is excit-
ing considerable attention, and some of the
secular papers have spoken quite freely in re-
gard to it. The public mind is very sensitive
in regard to any interference by the civil au.
thorities in the domain of ecclesiastical faitl
and practice. Yours truly, --

PHILADELPHIA, April IS, 1874
An interesting insurance case is about to be
tried in the United States Circuit Court of this
city, which involves the amount of 500 900, a nd
is connected with many curious circumstances
In the Springo 1873, the body of Monroe Sny-
der, wealthy citizen of Bethlehem, was found
in stream near that place, with marks of VIC
lence upon it. The verdict of the Coroner's
Jury was, that Snyder died from the eifusion
OF blood upon his brain, caused by injuries re
ceived at the hands of some person or persons
unknown. He had his life insured in the Mu
tual Life Insurance Company of New York tor
the amount already named. AS there seems 10
be some doubt in the minds of the Insurance
agents as to the exact manner in which SNYDER
came to his death, it is expected that the suit
will be warmly contested
The first actual step towards the erection OF
the Centennial Buildings will be made about
the 10th of May. Already the tenn porary frame
offices for the accommodation of the architect
and engineers are being erected at Belmont and
Elm avenues.
About ITO OF the operatives at the keystone
Saw and Steel Works of Henry Disston & Sons
are out on strike, because one of their mum

A handsome Centennial vase of ONE has
been placed at Twelfth and Spring Garden
streets, by Robert Wood Co.-The amount re-
allied thus far by the sale of Arch street Thea
ire tickets, for the Police Centennial Fund, is
a bout $4,000. Ashley Lunt, formerly connect
ed with the New York Graphic and the navi
gator of the Graphic balloon exhibition, died
in this city on Sunday last
The Spring Garden Bank will commence
next month the erection of an elegant and COM
modious Banking House, upon lots No. 1901
and 1903 Spring Garden street, at N. w. cor ner
of Ridge avenue, which will have front of A
feet on each street. The Penn Safe Deposit
Trust and Insurance Company, will, at the same
time, commence the erection of similar build

State convention to assemble in June, for the
purpose of nominating ticket committed to
the Farmers interest. This is very WE'LL but
they had better be sure of their men when they
put them up. 1t is not among the impossi-

they get honest, intelligent, capable men for
their candidates, it will be all right. But if
they are neither or lack the last the people will
be no better off than they will be with that
many men of some other business with the
same qualifications. However, we are glad
that farmers are taking this much interest in
political affairs. The condition of things has
resulted in great measure from the supreme
Indifference of farmers to political business.
