The lecture of Mr.. +. T. Cleave at the
Court House on Friday evening last was
we'll attended and well received by most of
the audience, though it must be admitted
that some disagreed very widely with the
conclusions OF the lecture, while others took
exceptions to his method of treating the sub
lect. Still it was not to be expected that he,
a convert to the Catholic faith, would please
everybody, though it IS only Just to say that
he IS fluent and pleasing talker. and hav-
ing been educated for the Episcopal minis
try. it cannot be denied that his attainments
are of a high order, while his utterances are
no doubt in keeping with the honest convic
tiOnS Of his heart. We were furnished with
synopsis Of the lecture, but as its publica-
ton might possibly lead to a miscOnceptiOn
OF the motive, we deem it best to withhold it.

our best wishes in his new field of labor.
An order has been issued by the officers
OF the p +. +. requiring the engineers of
the passenger trains on the Pittsburg Diyis-

have reached Altoona to ascertain if they
had become heated by the application Of the
. brakes while descending the mountains.
