PHILADELPHIA May 1.-THE meeting of
the General Synod of the Reformed Presby-
terian church in North America began here
this morning. Delegates are present from all
parts of the United States and Canada. The
election for officers was held, and resulted:

greeting to the synod from the Eastern Pres
byteran Synod OF Ireland was read to the

The letter from the Irish Synod was read,
and is in part as follows:
The times we live in are full of turmoil and
the change is making itself perceptible not only
in political matters but also in religious mat
ters We should seek, by every measure, to en-
courage the hearts of each other. We are far
from deprecating spirit of inquiry, whether in
regard to the political situation OF the age, or
whether in manner OF doctrine or mode of duty
We believe II is our duty to labor, maintain and
hand down the principles OF the church
to posterity. The peace of the country
us mnch improved. We do not need TO inform
you of the lawlessncss and crime which have
been producing almost a reign of terror in this
country, especially in the south ana west. Phe
seeds soWn by INSCRIPTIONS and misguided ag-
itators, whose aim ia to sever the connections Of
this country with Great Britain, have been
reaped in n bitter Observation-Disclosures tho
benevolent efforts of the imperial Parliament,
as embodied in recent legislation, to remedy the
present evil under which the country has so
long groaned so bitterly. by limiting the
power of the landlord for eviction, aud securing
the interest of the Occupiers of land III the hold
ings in which they and their fathers have in
vested their capital, whether OF money or of
labor-and human life is ruthlessy sacrificed.
Such is the state of society in the disturbed por
tion of the country, that crimes of appalling
atrOcity, of the most revolving barbarity, are
committed, not under the darkness OF night only,
but in broad daylight.
The committee on foreign correspondence
was ordered to frame fitting reply to the
communication.

No Progress Made in the star-Route Trial
Yesterday.

WASHINGTON, May 17,-Owing to theillness
Of Juror George B. Sheriff no progress was
made in the star-route trial to-day Before
court adjourned, Judge Wyle referred to the
crazy lawyer, England, who still frequents
the courthouse, and declared it was a dis
grace that the proper authorities had not
taken charge of him. The court had ordered
the bailiffs to exclude him from the court
house, and for this he had threatened to
shoot the court, or rather the personnel of
court. Of course this threat would have
been disregarded had he been sane, but as it
was, no one knew what whim might be acted
upon by the unfortunate man.

Rev. Father Leonard, assisted by the Rev
Father Birch, officiating.
The parlors were tastefully decorated with
fall leaves and flowers in honor of the &C.
casion-it being the first event of the kind
at Edgewood-in keeping with which the
bride was very becomingly attired in a dark
green travelling dress, exquisitely lighted
up with punches of "Marechal Mel" buds
worn at the waist, with diamond ornaments,
present from the groom, who, looking very
handsome and happy, seemed TO realize
that to him at least fortune was indeed pro-
pitious. There were no attendants of the
bride, while Mr.. Harry p. Coleman, of Phil
adelphia, acting as best man, performed his
part so well as to leave the impression upon
all that he was not stranger to the role.
After the marriage CEREMONY there were
sounds of revery within, to the clamorous
jollity of which the pealing of many mar
riage bells could not have added. The con-
CALCULATIONS showered upon the happy pair
were hearty and sincere-they having made
for themselves host of admiring friends.
The presents, arranged as they were in
the reception room with peculiar taste, were
numerous, comprising many articles of value
and usefulness. The then Mr.. and, Mrs.
Wilcox tarrled long enough with the guests,
after congratulations had been rendered
them to drink glass of Champagne, and
partaken of the brides cake, during which
many were the jolly toasts drank to their
future happiness and prosperity.
They then left for the o'clock train en-
route for Washington, followed by merry
crowd of young people throwing after them
showers of "rice" and the "luck shoe" filled
with choice flowers. We understand that
after extending their trip as far as New
York they will return to their future home
at Glenn Mills, Delaware county, Pa, to
which our best wishes for the realization of
