4 he City Hail Meetings.

The gospel temperance meeting in the
City Hall ON Saturday evening, was
opened with the usual religious exercises.
The Rev. Thorr as +. Plummer thought
that the present wonderous revival of in
terests in the cause of temperance was
in answer to the prayers of Gods people
which have been going up for years past.
No man, not any set of men had right
to claim for themselves exclusively the
origination and progress of the work.
God have blessed their faithful labors,
but to him alone was the glory due. ST.
lent and unseen agencies were Otter the
most effective, and the hearts of the vast
body of Christian men laboriDg in prayer
for Divine assistance, and their unob-
served sympathy and efforts for the sal
vation Of men had prevailed with God
He was glad that the present temperance
work had assumed character 80 mark
edly religious, and 30 long as men put
their whole reliance upon the Almighty
Arm they might expect it to bring saliva
ton,
Prof. Dorward who had asked for pray
ers on a previous evening stood up to
confess christ: his experience was very
interesting. Bro Winslow spoke feel
ingly of his own conversion and pointed
the victims of lntemperance to the Sa-
viour. Earnest appeals to sinners were
made by Bros. Elliott, Staw and Shew-
ard. Four persons asked for prayers.
Supphcations for them were made by
Mr.. Houston, DIR. Hicks, DIR. Shelp and
others. A meeting was announced for this
evening.

tended, several ladies also being present.
The meeting was addressed by John q.
Jackson, on the subject of the "Reconcil-
;ation of Sciences and Religion" After
the address had been delivered a general
discussion on the question took place
us. CouRT.-The U. s. District Court
met on Saturday morning at 10 so O'Clock
in the Court room Juge Bradford pre-;
siding. The whole day was consumed
in the argument on the petition OF NJ

custody of the Sheriff. AZ the conclusion y
of the fargumant the Court announ ee6
that he would hold the matter under ad

The store u. T. Eliason Il Bro. on
Delaware street, was broken into on
Saturday night, and robbed of nearly
$500 in money and other articles. From
prudential reason we refrain from giving
parti culars as far as are known, as a
clue has been found which will we are
assured lead to the capture of the per-
pretrators.
City Council meets tomorrow even
ing, when the assessor will, hand in his
assessment. There is considerable ankle
ty amongst few as to who shall be the
tax collector; three petitions are being
circulated recommending as many per-
sons. All are no doubt capable and de-
serving; but is City Council to be bored
by this everlasting petitioning and is
the public to be button holed to sign
their names recommending applicants
for every position in the city. The men,
bers of the council are long re sidents of
this dty and know each aspirant and no
amount of signatures will be able to in
crease or lesson their knowledge nor will
the fact of having several yards of names
attached to an application have any ef-
feet unless the interest of the city shall be
best served by the petitiones. Such are
the gentlemen who constitute our City
Council.
