 Universa1ism vs. Orthodox.

Rev. M. H. Houghton ofthe Church of the
 Messiah Replies to Rev. Dr. Stiher
 the Subject of ssHelI''-Other Lectures to
 Follow.
 At the Church of the Messiah on Orange street last evening, Rev. M. H. Houghton de- Evered the first of series of discourses which he proposes to deliver on the future punishment of the wicked. After the usual opening religious services, the preacher said substantially as follows: I come before you this evening for the purpose of delivering the first of course of lectures on the sub- ject of Endless Misery The lecture to- night will be preliminary to those which are to follow. These lectures have been suggest ed by sermon delivered by the Rev. Dr. Stifer at the First Baptist church on last Sunday evening on 'sThe Future Punishment of the Wicked, land which was reported in the newspapers. will not say that the reverend gentleman was reported correctly, and I am only sorry that could not have been present and heard for myself the remarks of this em- inent divine Mir. Houghton then read at some length from the report of Dr. Stifer's sermon, and then proceeded to say: I am sorry that have no acquaintance with this eminent teacher of the gospel I presume that he..is an earnest, devoted minister and that he breaches what he truly believes. and this he should do. I, believing differently, have a right to preach to the contrary. Here let me say that I am willing to extend to Dr. Stiher or auy other minister of the orthodox church an invitation to preach the doctrines of an endless punishment of the wicked in, this pulpit. If the doctrine which he breaches is true then I say that Universalists should knowsit, as they do not beleive such a doctrine. If an arrangement could be made whereby he could preach his doctrine in my church and I could preach mine in his think it would be well. This probably cannot be brought about, as every minister has all he can do to attend to his own church. I sincerely believe in the doctrines of Universalism, but if can be satisfied that there is a hell or state of eter- nal punishment will immediately go over to orthodoxy. If the doctrine of eternal pun ishment is true we should have the most learned men to teach us in regard to it. If brothers, who have died and have not been reclaimed before death, are now suffering the pains of the damned and doomed eternally, then 1t is time that we find salvation at the foot of the cross. I de not think that the 1 masses of the orthodox clergy will endorse the doctrines taught by Rev. Dr. Stifer, and

The Willy Bull Wants More Time.
 CHICAGO, Jan 16.-A despatch from Fort Buford of January 18th gives intelligence from the Wolf Point Indian agency to the 12th inst Scout Allison was then there and had received messenger from Sitting Bull; who asked for two more months before sur rendering, as he desired to communicate with the Canadian mounted police. This is supposed to be only g subterfuge to put of the surrender to the spring, when their cap ture would be impossible. But the messen- ger stated that the Indians were in a very destitute condition and many of Sitting Bulls head chiefs were anxious to start for Buford. Allison was to start for Sitting Bulls camp yesterday and offer him the alternative of beginning to move south by the 18th or to take the consequences of an onslaught by the troops of Major nges on one side and Major Morris on the other It is reported that tif- teen of Calls warriors escaped when the lat ter was captured and are now with Sitting Bull. Nine bucks and fourteen women and children, ,stragglers from the Calls and Crow s camp, have been picked up and are at Fort Buford.

FIRE RECORD.

Thoroughbred Cattle Sacrificed by an In-
 csndiary.--Terrfble Suffering of the
 Poor Beasts.
 READING, Pa, Jan. 16.-Possib1y the most
 horrible and wholesale destruction of va1u-
 able thoroughbred cattle ever occurring in
 Pennsylvania took place in the burning of
 the barn on the Elizabeth stock fafnis Friday
 night. The barn was destroyed by the hand of an incsndiafy between twelve and one
 o'clock. With it ffty-two head of thorough bred Jersey cattle, seventy five game chick ems, five thoroughbred hunting dogs, fifty tons of hay and thirty tons of straw, were destroyed. These farms, belonging to the G. Dawson Coleman estate, the great Corn wall iron centre, and managed by Colin Cam eron, have widespread reputation for producing fine cattle which have carried of prize after prize at the State fairs The farms are three in number, all managed by MT. Cameron, who resides in the mansion on farm No l. On this, the mansion farm as it is called, were kept all the registered cattle, which were placed in the immense barn. Shortly after twelve o'clock Friday night this barn was discovered to be on fife, and in a short time it was totally destroyed, with all it's contents. MT. Gamer on's brother and others who were first on the ground found that the flames had all ready gained complete possession of the building and they could hear the cries of the poor brutes who were being slowly roasted All efforts to save any lives were utterly use less, and it was not long before the building was in ruins. One of the farm hands states that he was awakened by the believing of cat tle and when he looked out of the window he saw the barn in flames. The night was bitter cold and nobody seemed astir. Above the roar of the flames could be heard the awful grooming and believing of the poor cattle, chained to their stalls. When he reached the barnyard the heat was so great he could hardly approach the stables. He says ha did all he could to open the doors, but the fire had gained such rapid headway that he was too late. Through the window he could see the poor brutes being roasted alive. The loss is one of the saddest blows to the owners of stock ever received in this State, as many of the animals were very valuable.

 FooIhardy Daring.-A Hazardous Feat at
 Niagara.
 BUFFALO, Jan. 16.-Thursday afternoon @ daring act was accomplished at Niagara Falls During the last few days P. S. Cranz, D. Ma have been bantering each other into various deeds of daring. Yesterday afternoon the three men decided to attempt feat we'll nigh foolhardy. It was no less than to place sign on an old log in the middle of the river, 40 rods above Goat Island bridge. The log lies in the centre of the rapids, and has been there for the last four years. During that time no one has ever been within reach ing distance of it. The men conceived the log advertising the railroad in whose employ they are. About two o'clock they set out on the ice. After much effort, they reached their destination Here a sign four feet by twelve feet was securely spiked to the log advising readers to t'Go East via Erie Railway" While the men were bus fly engaged in their perilous task, crowds of people began to gather on all available points to watch their progress Many speculations were indulged in as to whether the men would be able to get in by the dangerous route already traversed. After two hours of labor, when the work was com pleted, shouts from the spectators announced that something was wrong. A glance showed that the ice was breaking up in all directions In doing their work the men had moved the log, and, an opening being made, the rapid current soon finished the job. Though taken by surprise, the three adventurers did not lose their presence of mind. Hastily pick ing up some loose boards which they had cut from the sign, they started on the floating ice for the shore. By 8 skillful use of the boards as paddles, and hard struggle, they reached the shore in safety. They were the subjects of hearty congratulations. MT. Cranz said he would not attempt the feat again for the best one thousand bill in the land
