CHANGING PREACHERS IN PITTSBURG

Our follow Christians of tho Reformed
Church in rittshurg have recently
changed their preacher that Ii to say
they tried to change. Thereby hangs the
tale The mragrc reports which have reached

tho change encountered good doal Of dilll-

they were not satisfied with the mere

the reformed Of Pittsburg were al
ready provided with a preacher. This
preacher was dearly beloved by Il part of
the flock, but held In deep ee0rn and con-
tune by another part. The result was the
calling Of an election for a new preacher. the
former wing hoping to retain their candidate,
and the latter hoping to GUST the then incum-
bent. After the polls were closed and the
count concluded. the figures were read out
showing that the preacher was bounced and
a new man the Rev. Nevin Woodside-
elected by vote of 16I against ZIG for all
other candidates. The announcement was re-
eeived with tumultuous applause by the
Woodside constituents, and with loud com
plant by the others, who alleged fraudulent
registration, ballot-box stuffing and Return

Professor AlcS. Winchell, of Michigan Uni.
ver,ty, delivered lecture at Lincoln Hall on
Wednesday evening, under the auspices of the
CHILEAN Mission Press Society, As an.
bounced, DR.. Winchcll took as his theme
Man 10 tho Light of Geology
He briefly sketched the development OF
the earth through successive stages Of
plant and animal lie in its preparation for the
human race. He showed, by significant com.
parsons, how man is allied to the lower ami
mails physically, and yet so distinct by his
moral and spiritual attributes as to prove him
n being superior to all other animal existonces
In speaking Of the development or evolution
of man from the lOwcr animals, he said the
great difficulty IN such theory is that the
" missing link had not yet been found in all
the research Of gGoiosists, and hence there Is 4
broad chasm between man aud his reputed an
cestors lie claimed that man is the final
work Of creation Oh the earth, and will not be
succeeded by Il race Of beings superior to HIM

Mr.. Mansfield gave very interesting and
instructive lecture last night, at Franklin Hall
on Russian History" 1t was carefully pre-
pared and scholarly production, and deserved 6
crowded house. Its main defect was that II
was too long, lasting nearly two hours but
notwithstanding that, there were but two per
sons who left before the close. The lecturer
gave pretty full account of the Cars realm,
the overthrow of the early republics, the
future revolutions, and all the great and thrill
ing events occurring in its history of 900
years, with summary of its progress. The
next lecture of the course will be on Monday
night, the eth instant, on the Life and Times
of Charles Sumner" This lecture has been
heard here once before, and everybody VIII
heard it spoke highly of 1t.
