REPORTS FROM THE COMMITTEE on THE PRAY
ER-BoOK.
BosToN, October 1.-THE Committee on
the Prayer-Book presented reports consid-
ering it inexpedient to consider special

thanksgiving and IN time Of danger and adj

body canon II, title 2, as rubric to pre-

such action would be inconsistent with
Church legislation. The reports were
adopted.

Several weeks ago r. D'OrSay Ogden. an
actor and manager Of this city, left New
York aS proprietor OF an organization call
cd The Shakspearian Southern Confede-
ration OF stars Mr.. O@den's plan was to
take southern circuit embracing Charles
ton and Columbia, 5. c.; Savannah, Au-
",lSta, Atlanta. Macon, Columbus, and
AmcrlcllS, Ga: Eufaula, Montgomery, and
Mobile, Ala. !; New Orleans, La; and Gal
weston, Texas. Mr., Ogden, under false
prctcnccs, procured the services OF num-
Der Of well-kno "Stars'' to travel with
his organization. John r. Raymond, D. LII.
IIarkins, Rose Eytinge, Gertrude Oakdene.
and John E.Dwcns were among those en-
gagcd. Ogden represented to them that he
had secured trst-caSs company for a sup
port, and had $1,000 on hand in case OF an
emergency.
Mr.. IIarkins was the first to open in
Charleston. s. G., on October 1st. He found
the company very poor. but as business was
good he overlooked this defect. and after a
weeks performance proceeded to Columbia,
and from there to Savannah. At the latter
place business was very poor. On the eve
ming OF October 18th larger audience than
usual assembled ut the Opera-IIouse to wit
ness a performance Of "Jack Cade" by
Mr. Ifarkins. 1t WAS found that Mr.. Ogden
had departed with the evenings receipts
on the $50 train for New York. He left
Il letter for Mr.. HarkinS, in which he said
that bis supplies had been stopped in this
city, and he was going on to ascertain the
cause He also said that he would leave the
receipts OF the evening and several bank
checks with which to carry on the business,
and would join the company in 4 few days.
The money could not be found, and MIR.
IIarkin> was compelled to take charge OF
the company, although he had had no pc
cuniary relations with its members. The
checks referred to in the letter were worth
less, and Mr.. IIarkins paid the proprietor
OF the theatre and the hill-poster, and settled
other accounts.
Joshua u. Ogden. manager OF the - Buff
falo Bill Combinations" who is Il brother OF
the abscondin@ manager, said yesterday that
X. D'Or,ay Ogden WAS ut present in Phlla-
dclphia.. He had received letters from his
brother during the past week, in which the
latter said that he was doing Il good BUSH
ness in the South. that he had come to Phil
adclphia on. business, and WAS going to Join
his troupe at once. Horace Wall, the dra-
matte agent, received Il telegram from MIR.
Ilarkins. dated Savannah. October 18th, di-
rcctin" him to fill Mr.. Harkins's time to
December Sd. Mr.. IEarkins will arrive in
this city October 18th, and will doubtless
begin proceedings against Ogdcn.-Nen
