Brick making would be highly rcmu-
nerativc business to engage in here in
Middletown. The demand for brick for
building purposes, would be very brisk
if they were manufactured here. New
streets have been laid out, and more pave
ment will have to be laid shortly. The
Town Hall will require two or three hun
dred thousand. Who will be the first to
engage in this business, and thereby in
sure to himself fortune. Good clay, we
are told, can be had within n convenient
distance of town, and the amount of capi-
tai required is not so great as to put the
enterprize beyond the reach of men of
moderate means. Let us have a brick
yard, by all means. 1t will pay-and

THE SUPREME CouRr AND THE Nc
ARDLE CAsE.-Thc intelligent Washing
ton correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette, Agate" who is republican
says that " it appears probable that, what
ever may become of the bill taking away
the appellate jurisdiction of the Supreme
Court in habeas corpus proceedings, (Which
the President has just vetoed, the Me-
Ardle case will be decided.


The court is expected to insist that a
case already under consideration must
move on to a judgment, and that an at
tempt to apply the bill to such case
would be clear instance of er post facto
legislation: The same correspondent says
that it seems probable that one half the
Judges, if not (by the aid of Mr. Justice
Davis) an actual majority, will pronounce
the reconstruction laws unconstitutional.
Precisely what will be the results of such
declaration none can predict; THAT they
will be far reaching, none can doubt.

Houses are in great demand here. Two
or three families have been compelled to
go to boarding, for the want of dwellings.
Several business men are without places
in which to conduct their business. The
photograph wagon formerly occupied BY
Mr.. j. NJ. Horning, has been brought into
requisition and removed to the east end of
the town, and is now used as shoe shop.
Houses and business stands are in great
request here, and property is paying -,
ID and 20 per cent. on the original in
vestment. 1t is strange that our capital
lists do not invest more extensively in hou-
ses. Fifty additional buildings could be
rented here in very brief time. Only
last week gentleman wrote to us from
Havre-de-Grace, inquiring whether he
could procure busincss-stand and
dwelling, and three weeks previously we
got letter from gentleman in Chester
town, making similar inquiry. True,
our carpenters and builders arc all busy
but they could enlarge their operations and
increase the number of their workmen, if
capital was more extensively employed in
building.

MARRIAGE.-A recent sermon, by
Henry Ward Beecher, has the follow
ing in regard to marriage:


You that are starting, avoid the eF-
ror OF those who have gone too fast
and too far.


You that are old, bear witness for
yourselves, and seek to repair as far as
you can the errors of your own lives,
by warning and directing the young.


Young men, take hold of each others
hands


Maidens, look to the God Of your
fathers. ..5


If there be any one in this world
who cannot afford not to be a Chris
tian, it is a woman. IF there be any
one whose beauty fades as a flower and
whose grace needs the sustenance Of
the inefable; if there be any whose
power is in beauty, in purity, in good
ness, it is a woman. If there be any
one more than another upon whom
blight falls more rudely; if there be
any one more than another, who Is
more burdened with grief or more
wrung with sorrow, it is a woman. I
marvel to see a woman that is not a
Christian. The ladder between your
souls and God, is not half so long as
that between our souls and God, .aa.


God made woman to be better than
man and the perversion is in proper
ton when she is worse.


I beseech of every young man and
of every maiden, that is beginning life,
to begin it Alright. Now is the time
Days are passing. Years are accumu-
lating. 1t will be too late by and by.
So, begin now.

In debate in the u S. Senate the
other day, Senator Cameron, who was
Secretary Of War in 1861, gave the
following account Of Lees desertiOu
from our army:


Gen. Lee called on a gentleman who
had my entire confidence, and intima-
ted that he would like to have the
command Of the army. He assured
that gentleman, who was a man in the
confidence Of the Administration, Of
his entire loyalty, and his devotion To
the interests of the Administration
and Of the country. I consulted with
Gen. Scott, and Gen. Scott approved
Of placing him at the head of the army.
The place was offered to him unUfa-
ciaIly. with my appreciation, and with
the appreciation Of Gen. Scott. It was
accepted by him verbally, with the
promise that he would go into Virgin
ia and settle his business, and then
come back to take command. He
never gave US any opportunity to ar
rest him he deserted under false pre-
tences. Should have arrested him in
a moment if I had a chance at him,
and 1 have always regretted that I
never got that chance. thought the
Senator referred before to the case of
Joseph Z Johnson, who was the
quartermaster general, and it was Of
him 1 spoke FIRST. In regard to Gen.
Lees case, 1 think he behaved worse
than any of the men who acted so
treacherously to the Government.

A church is sometimes pronounced a
weak and declining church, because it is
destitute of wealth and the influence of
honorable names. On the contrary, if a
church declines it is not for the want of
these things, but on account of the lack OF
faith and prayer and earnest labor on the
part of Gods ''little flock They apply
not with all their hearts to the possessor
of all things, who giveth literally and
upbraideth not, and who will avenge his
elect sOhen they cry day and night unto
ham.


That was a company of weak disciples,
without wealth or influence that were
gathered into that upper chamber in Je-
rusalem more than 1S00years ago. The

Luther was an Insignificant Monk, but
God gave him a power which is felt to
this day. Let us do as the first disciples
did, pray as they prayed, make sacrifices

waited, walk after the Spirit as they
walked, and like prosperous days to the
Church will assuredly follow.

EVENING SESSION.


The Assembly met for the special con-
sideration of the claims of our Committee
of Education.


The Assembly and congregation united
in singing the 523rd hymn, and the SER
vices were opened with prayer by the
Moderator.


Rev. E. 7. Baird, D. D., Secretary of
of the Committee of Education, was in
troduced and addressed the Assembly.
Dr. Baird said The -aaaual rsaart Of
the Executive Committee of Education
has stated the condition and claims of
this agency. 1t is well, however, to bring
it before the public as proposed tonight.


The Committee of Education is not
charged with the control of candidates.
The Presbyteries receive them, oversee
their education and determine their wants.
The Executive Committee acts simply as
the organ of the body; and its work is
but in its infancy. When the war closed
there were no candidates in the Church.
When the war opened our candidates en-
tered the army. Many fell on the battle
field, or were swept away by disease. So
our candidates had disappeared when the
war was over, our schools were closed
and most of our colleges bankrupt. The
work was to be begun anew. Faculties
and funds were to be provided. But one
college in all the South saved its endow-
ment. So the young men stripped of all
means, and some with other responsible
ties upon them had to turn aside to work.
There has been steady increase of can
didates since the war. The first year we
had but three, the next year we had
eighteen, and now we have forty-three,
and since we came here we have heard of
ten or twelve more. By next fall the
number will probably be doubled.


Many who formerly were able to edu-
cate themselves are now destitute and
must have assistance. We have not had
the means to respond to the calls made
upon US, and have been compelled to bor-
row 5000, and very soon more must be
found somewhere. What are we to do !?
Shall we deny these young men the right
to obey the call God has given them? :? If
he has called them by his Spirit, the same
Spirit calls the Church to respond. We
have confidence in God. We have con-
fdence in his Church. And your COM
mittee has resolved to go forward and as
sumo obligations and trust the Church to
enable us to fulfil them. We think all
that is necessary is that the claim be pre-
sented to our people. If the brethren 60
forth from this Assembly to state the
facts and call the Church to work, the
work will be done. We have the assu-
rance in the call of SO many young men
to preach the Gospel:

Physicians were called, but they decided

resuscitate her failing, it was determined,


last Sunday, to consign her to the grave,


and a coffin was procured. On Satur-


day, while one of the neighbors and the


mother were standing by the side Of the


supposed corpse, the door, which had


been left open, blew shut with loud


noise, which had the effect of so acting
