Proposéd ‘Establishment of a'Uni- tarian Book-Store. The annual meeting of tho Chicago Confer- ence of the Unitarian Churches was innugurated on Tuesdsy evening by ar: eloquent eermon by the Rev. W. H. Cudworth, of Boston. Yesterday morning the scssion was resumed, by ‘resding hie Scriptures and prayes;, both by Mr.' Cud- worth. 3fr. D. L. Shory, the President, then sssumed the chair, and welecmed tho'delegates, &nd hoped the session would ba one, of ploasure and profit. ) SECBETALT'S REPOBT. % M. George N. Carpenter, the Secsotary, -then read the “oport for the yoar 1872, showing that in fifteen churches embraced in the Confer- ence, there were 871 families which regularly attended the services of the Church, forming s congregation of 8,650 people. Nino churches hold two services on - Sunday, and three ove service. The ‘number of Sundsy School scholars is 1,450. The aggregate number of ‘books in these schools is 6,952. The oldest chireh in the Conferenceis the Church of the Messinh, in Chicago, which was organized in 18%. The youngest church is ab Valparaiso, Ind., snd was organized in'1871. -Five churchos ere without pastors. Among the changes of the year, Eev. C. A. Staples, Rov. Mr. Povwell, and Rev. Mr. Stone resigued. Rev. J. O. Hew- itt came to the church from tho Baptist denom- ination. - The report was acceptad. " The Chair appointed the Rev. O. W. Wendte, Artemus Carier, and Dr. R. N. Foster & Com- mittes to nominate officers for the ensuing year, to report at the afternoon session. AN ACT OF FAITE. . Rev. John Weiss then read his celebrated and much considered essay on “‘An Act of Faith.” He eaid he would discriminato between an active faith, & theological statement, and s monument of religious sontiment. Real faithis based on Jmowledge and s scientific method. = After s review of the vital part which faith had played in times past, the es- eayist osked if we must Toject as false the dictum that a correct opinion is essential to salvation. If we roject the old way of securing ealvation, must we give upfaithitself ? Notso; faith is man's great enterprise. Without this vital quality, this life of - onrs is & poor parody upon our encestry. But what kind of faith? I say a faith based upon real Jnowledge. Letus discard those fictiona of religion which are no Iouger fenable. The only dangerous skepti~ «cigm is the disappointmont of & conscience which has Joved and lavished itself upon thingsof doubtful roputation. Can faith epring from & misguided direction? No. We - must rely upon nothing vague. Knowledge is the sun~ stance of things hoped for, the evidenco of things not seen. Salvation depends upon giving moral earncsiness a richt and sure method, and e palpsble object. Faith is not expectation nor emotional instinct, a8 of the character of tho future life for example. Wo may expoct it, be- lieve it, but that is not an act of faith, as there is no evidential knowledge. Secondly: It is not a form of probability, or likelihood; not & speculation. You surmise that the Creator i8 » poon. This s only s prosump- tion, and differs in different minds. This bowever, is not faith. An act of faith is an ex- poctation based npon observation. Knowlodge of the structure and method of the external world, cod the mind of man, Elvaa the only foun- dation of faith, The man and woman have the best faith who havothebest inowledge. Knowl- o, indeed, is one grestact of thoplay of faith, acd the man filled with it will have his eamnest expectation sweetened with the earth-sap which knowledge draws up in our views, If I know- natural Iaws, I can confide in' their direction. They are the angels 6f the infinite, and recom- mend natural religion, which keeps a uni- verse the time obedient. ~Are the grest -sontiments of the soul . ever oxtinguizhed by intelligenco? Nol but glori- fied. .Now we must chauge faith, and base it on knowledgo, and we must -maké our religion more worldly and practical. It must set itsolf about to form moral codes for this daily life. We dont weat tracts and polyglot Bibles, but abate- Tent of moral nuisances, rotection of the weak, and n compulsory spelling-book. Facts are tho substance of things hoped for; the évi- dence of things not seen, and on’ them we ground our oxpectations.. Don't exerciso faith upon the future; now and hero is our mission. Trust the all-embracing Proyidonca. There is Bothing that wo nead to dread. Thus doing the ho act of living, will bo an act of faith. A DEMURRER BY LAIRD COLLIEEL.- Rev. Laird Collier then said thzat ko had heard: the cesay only in part, but notwithstauding that hehad Listoned attentively, he could not eay that ho had been able to catch the thread upon which the essay. might have been hung. -Ho' said he was obliged to Mr. Weiss for the talk he 1ad given them, Lt that the statements of Mr. Weiss wero unhistoric aud untrue. It was false that the people did mot need theology. The people were now looking moro ‘toward religion, aad the cross of Christ, than over beforo. Ho said he had ofien thought be never would go into’ & Unitarian Conferenco aguis did not wish it{'o‘pqrted in TrE Cmtcaco E, that hé'was in ' meecting where some men ehut the Biblo ont; and advanced tho theory that tho kingdom of.G :d_could be built upon’ the kingdom of the world. It was ‘op- posed {0 the foundation of his labors. Ho rest- edall things upon the Bible and his faith was Zfounded upon that. Mr. Weiss' theory of ' bar~ tmonies and facts was cold and heartiess. It-de- stroyed all faith, becauge it made faith rest upon thoso things only which were understood. -He spoke Etrongly sguiaat tho ceeas, and cresind quite a scneation by his ecergetic demurrer. 2MB. WENDTE REPLIES. The Ray. Mr. Wendto then arose, and, in quite n excited manner, said ho wes surprised at Mr. Collier’s remarks. * It was well known that Mr. Collier was chiefly instrumental in getting Mr. Weiss here, and he was surprised at his fiexce at~ tack upon him. Ho thanked God for the essn; delivered this morning. Ho_could not far lifo ses what had essed Mr. Collier, -Ho psver was astonished more. Evidently the brotker did not sea the thread. : At this junctore Mr.. Collier remarked: *I sid £ did not catch the thread.” Mr, Wendto repliod : ““Then why say anything sbout it? I admire the method of our brother, but he is certainly wrong. Brother Weissis & good man,—a prophet Ict us regardhim. If we cannot nuderstand somo_ of Lis thoorics, let us bear with them, and strive to find tho reasom in | them. Don't let us be ied away Uy old-timo poe- try and superstition.” : GLAD TO HEAR IT. Bev. Dr. Bsach wss glad to hear tho cesay. Ha could not fally spprove it; indeed, he co not say that he understocd it.- This contest ho- tween religion and scionce must be settled, and essaylsa step toward peaco between the £wo factions. ~ God and Jeaus Christ oxist, to- Elne?fih“m dark :be‘fi:i . Bcieuco will eithor them up, or will fail in doing anything. Thus it will be seitled. 8, = Dr. Foster eaid Lo had listened {0 no_cssny gil‘llnpg time that so plezsed Lim as that of r. Weiss. He conld g0 no conilict betweon Christianity and the epirit of tho cesay. True, ho had gone beyond a standpoint of tho believ- ag people, but b vas certazaly right. He also elieved in r. Collier's religion, oud that no gther foundation would eustam the Church of God than that on which Christ built it. Mr. A. Carter paid it would do him good to x:v“cr the :l!.u_ although he was no radi- vasa glance upon now -things, but & {zstand roasonblo ghasco, ‘o bolioved in s i:“m‘: :‘l‘xegry ‘;x_ gov‘.nplg:un education, and that as the duty of the erament fo pat sucl law into its constitation. r hf AR. COLLIER AGAIN. Mr. Coltier then arose, and in a positive, half- earcastic manner, exid: -# Mr. Chairman, am I tobe taken totask for criticising Mr, Weiss ? ' *til next Aonday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Why is ho to be taken in the bands of the peo- pleand defended, likeachild? Why, he is a great man. He came out from_Boston, and can defend himself. I shall sny what I want, if the wholo Radieal Club were hore. I say san ux]ha}:] " it o 'ngnl:nst tho epirit of the Bible, and opposed to tho precepts of the Lord Jesus C).u'ixt,Plud Iwill notpsit 5‘21'11 and listen to such things.” : Mr. Wendto snid that if he bad said- anything too bitterly he was sorry and regretied if. LIEE A CHESTNUT. The Rev. Mr. Cudyworth, of Boston, said that Mr. Weiss had .given them Lis esssy like the Lord gives us cheelnuts—with a burr aronnd it, covered with sharp aud Lristling points. 3L Collier being the first to tr{ to get au the chest- nut, had been pricked and lacerated. Cud- worth's rel were soothing in their influ- euce, and seemed Lo dispel all hard feelings en- gonderod by the discussion. . © -~ BATUER LIKED IT. . The Chairman, in announcing the momning sorvice, eaid that these Conferences had never been mutual admiration societies, and he was glad for the littlo brush which had occarzed this morning. Tho morning oxorcises closed with singing, after which the Conferenco adjourned to the basement to partake of 3 handsome refoction, “d;mdéx. had been prepared. by the ladies of the ure © . TIHE AFTERNOON SESSION oponed with singing. :The Rev. R. Laird Col- lier, from the Committes on Fellowship, recom- mended that the Rev. J. O. M. Hewitt be received into the Charch. The Confl.rence agreed in the roport of the Committee. ; - OFFICERS.. The following officrs of the Conferonce were nominated for the year 1878; President, Gov- omor Jobn J.

Laird Collier, who refused ro-election and sug- gested that the name of Mr. Robert Collyer bo substituted for his rtamo. Tho Conférence unanimonsly agreed to this. s A CUURCH BOOKSTORE. Mies F. L. Roports read an_instructive essay upon Uhifarian Interests in Chicago. She sug- gested that a chnrch bookstore be established, and advanced other sensible and plausiblo ideas, The Rev. Mr. 8. B. Hunting, the Western See- retary of the Western Association, spoke of -the reasons why a church bookstore had not been established in Chicago. Ho said it might be es- tablished if only the people seemed anxions for it. He aldo referred to the genoral work of the Association in the West. . ¢ INDIVIDUAL DOCTRIE.” H The Rev. Mr. Stebbins, of Detroit, read an essay upon #Individual Doctrine.” He said that he did not mean ‘to preach a creed for the Church, but a doctrine for esch man’slife. The- cssay was ably commented upon by General Webster and Mr. Hunting. RESOLUTIONB. The following resolutiona were offered by Mr. Carter, and unanimonsly adgptéd by the. Conference : e 3 Resolved, Wo bellove in the usefulness and,gractica bility of 5 Unitarian Book Room aud Hepdiussters in | Resolved, That each of our four soctetica of Chicago b requested to appoint peroms, and tho four appoint- together wilh the Secre.ary of the Oonference, bo » Gommiftes to examine the matter, ud, if it deem it advisable, {0 establish snch a store, then to make all necesaary arraugements, A Rev. Robert Laird Collier said, that tho Com-. mittee appointed to employ & missionary, would m%aln at tho next meeting. -The following resolutions wero offered by Mr. Windte, and ously adopted : Resolred : That this Confcrence, impressed with the enormity of the evils of intemperance in our commu- nlty, borowith place on record its emphatio spyroval of tho lato action f the Mayor and Board of Alderiaen o in regard to the closing of saloons or. the unoy. Resolred: That the Executive Committea of the, Con- ference be requestod to have preparcd for ita next ‘quarderly meeting, a paper on tho subject of Tmper- ance, Mr. Collier then offered a rosolution, 'which +was heartily adopted, thanking tho Indies of the Third Unitarian Church for their elegan enter- tainmont and use of the church. h The Conference then adjourned with uix;g-‘m}, and with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Hunting. It wes announced that a reception would be held in the parlors of tho church yesterday evening. - COUNTY AFFAIRS. Another Half-Day Session of the Commissioners. g Further -Action on the Balaries of Cook County Officers. The Board of County Commissioners met yes- torday afternoon, President Miller in the chair. Present: Commiesioners Ashion, DBogue, Clough, Crawford, Galloway, Harrison, Jones, Pahlman, Russell, Singer; Herting, Loncrgan. The Board immediately went into Committes of the Whale, Commissioner Bogus in the chair, and resumed consideration of the report of tho Committeo on Public Service. =~ For the County . Treasurer aud Collector's office the salaries were fixed a8 follows: Assist- unt Treasurer and Collector, $4,000; Cashior, ‘81,500; Chief Clerk, $1,800; 2 clerks, 12 months, $1,630 esch; 2 clerks, 12 months, 81,500 cach; 2 clerks, 10 months, $1,400 each; 8 clerks, 10 moaths, §1,000 -each; 8 clerks, 10 ‘months, $1,250 ench. + In connection with the estimates for the ox- penses of the Town Collectors’ offices, Mr. A. L. Morrison, Colloctor of West Ohicago, was in- vited o make a statement to the Board con- cerning the requirements of his office. He said that he was required to give bonds in the stm of nearly £2,000,000, and he could not under- take the financial responsibilities of the office at asalary of §1,500 per year, tho amount recom- mended by the {report. He shonld certainly tender Ius resignation if the salary were. not placed at o much higher figure than that named. His feos last year amounted to about $10,000, leaving him s profit of about 86,000, after pay-- ing clerk hire, and running oxpenses. Commissioner Ashton moved to fix tho sala- rios of the Town Collectors at 83,000 per year each, subject to the roport of the Committce on Judiciary 8 to the power of the Boardto fixs sum in excess of §1,500. Commissioner Miller gaid that the Board might expect to receive applications from all the Town Collectors thronghout tho connty for in- creased compensstion.. They would refuse to collact tho taxes ¢ the presont allowance. Commis.foner Harrison was in favor of post- poning the matter for a tima. ' Commiasionor Miller moved the postponement ‘'of the subject until the Judiciary report shall be received. ied. On motion, Bheriff Bradloy was invited to mzke some remarks concerning the require- ments of his office. _ Ho eaid that he had’ esti- matod the salaries of Deputies at. 82,600, be-- cause it was noc for each one to ‘keop 8 horse and buggy, and besides to furnish a bond of $10.000 covering sixteen years. When the Depnties received the fees, some of them mnde 88 hi%h a8 §3,000 & year, while othersmade loss than €1,000. Tho estimate of foos from all sourees, S84 was toc small. Ho had recom- mended $2.5%0 for tho jailor (whom he paid £1,200 lact year, but for whom the Committe e lied kindly tried to vote £3,000). He should b in favar of not paying the country Deputies 80 as recommended by tho Committee (four Deputies at 81,200 each), and bolieved that the work could bo well done for $2,000 per year, in- stead of $4.800, as proposed. illar axgfinafl that the jailor, Commissionor in addition to his salary, an interest in the dieting ofs prisoners. Alr. m.uli?‘ said that it was very difficult to obt competent jailor. Folz was the only man who had proyed to be ablo to. etand the wo Jacob Gross, Clerk of the Circnit Conrt, bein in¥ited to speals, said. that ho had recomtended no higher salaries than ho would have paid him- gelf in caso he had the fees. ) Tho Committea rose; reported progress; aakod Iesvo to sit again, and the Board ndjourned un- Thé Queen of Sewing Machines: The beautiful rooms of the Wilson Sewing achine Campany have become one of the most popular busi_ ziess places ntho city, Tho wonderful popularity snd efficlency of the machine, its perfect adaptation to o1l kinds of {ymily sewing, and th " ease with which it operates, make ita prime favorita in cvery {amiy that {6 has ever entered.

Conference Between Hyde Park and Chicago Officials, . .. The Packing Interest also Well Represented, - - Considerable Talk Indulged In, but No Conclusion Arrived At. In the Meantime, an' Awful Amount of 0l is Being Deposited at Ainsworth, Tho Mayor of Hyde Park, and severel of the Trustees of the village, hiad a conferance with & delegation of packers and Mayor Medill, in the Councit Chamber, yosterday afternoon, in rofer- ence to the Ainsworth stink factory. There were present Mr. Culbertson, Mr. Kent, Dr. Rouch, AIr. Reid, Mr. Mitchell, Louis Wahl, Leonard- Swett, ‘attorney for the Fertilizing Company, Moyor Cady, and Aldermen Clark, - Tisher, Halo, and Waldron, of Hyde Park, and Mayor Medill. - The Intter called the moeting to order, and nominated Mr. James Wadsworth for Chairman. Hewas elocted, and roquested the gentlemen to express their views. i R. CULBERTSON, B attor referring to the meeting of tho packers with the Mayor, on Tuesday, said _ the packers, for soveral -years, had had contracts with the Northwestern Fertilizing Company to take charge of offal, but Lad, in some instances, to pay for getting it removed. As long as these contracts were in‘ vogue -there would be no troublo; but if it was proposed to stop the com- pany from'removing the refuse, tho packers de- Bired to know what they were to do. Ton wecks only of the packing season had passed; about six weeks. remained. There must be an ontlet for the offal.” From twenty to thirty thousand hogs weré boing rocoived a day, and no other ar- Trangements for disposing of tho refuse could be made between now and the end of the packing soason. Unless tho Company took it, the blood, entrails, etc., would accumulste around the slaughter-houses, or be dumped on the prairies, or the packing business would have to cease. No one certainly desired that. The matter had been sprung npon them, and they were totally unprepared to do anything looking to the ro- moval of the offal for the balance of tho season. After this season, he thonght the refuse would be made *swoet ” st the packing houses. T am. cADYBAID - tho people of Hyde Park hod euffered long enongh from the nuisance, and now, a8 the es- tablishment had been burned down, they doemed it & proper time to insiat that it be ro- ‘moved, and no longer damage their property sid endanger their health and lives. Hesaw no necesgity for dumping the . offal on tho ground at Ainsworth, as there was no machinery there to work it up. As ho understood, the charter of the Company provided that tho cstablishment could be located suywhere in the County of Cook south of Townships 37 and 83, leaving over 800 square miles within which to select a site. The authorities of Hyde Park hed con- sulted with logal gentlomen. and been assured that the rights of the Fer- tilizing Company would not be jeopardized by relocating saywhere within the limits speci- fiedin their chartor. Tho attorneys had failed to find any grjrflsgun in tho charter which could not be mentioned under the general law. The time for tho solution of the question had come ; it was not intended to “spring” the mattor upon the packers. One hundred tons of offal were boing dumped daily at Aineworth. There were thonsands of acres in Cook County where it conld bo placed without aunoying people. A gensitive horse conld” not have been driven near the stink factory without manifesting thatho was aware of the smell cminating from it; no domestic snimal, excopt tho hog or the dog, could ' stand it; the odor was deleterions to the health and comfort of tho people. One of the men ar- rosted for conveying the offal through Hyde Park filled the cell in which he was placed so full of “smell” that the prison had to bo fumi- ted. Three hundred children ‘‘smelled f;a smell,” one evening, and were _all attacked with cholora infantum. He saw no reason why works could mot be built 28 choaply in somo other locality, aud the peo- le of Hyde Park relioved of the nuisance. Fitoro would be o objection to transparting the offal throngh Hyde Fark, if it was dono in o roper manner, | Thers was no_ disposition_on Fis pact, o ot his assotiates, to anak up the outlet for tho refuse. They had, however, had enough of the nuisance, sod_begged to Lo ex- fief for mot wishing to tolerate it in the fu- e. MU. CULBERTHON understood the Company could not, under their charter, ro-locate their.works. Ho hadhad ex- periance in analyzing smells, and thonght that he aromas that offended the nostrils of the peo- ple of Hyde Park came_from tho town “of Lake, and not from Amsworth. It was unfair'and un- Just to tho packing interest of Chicago to insist thal They desirod to mako a8 little nuisance 28 pos- aibla, but if :tho refuse was deposited on tho ‘prairies, there would be ten times as much com- plaint, ' and ° from Chicago 88 wall 23 Hydo Park, - of ths offensive por- fume. If the outlet was closed up, the packing business would cesse, and hundreds of thou- sands of people, directly and indirectlyintereated in it, would feel the effect. LEONARD SWETT did not think the Company could re-locats under thoir charter ; logielation was necessary; and ha hod advised his clicnts not o run the risk of losing the benofits conferred by their charter, until they were satisfied, if another location was selected, they wero sccuro in its poesession. It was practically impossiblo for them to re- Tocate betwoen now and the st of March. Ho believed a satisfactory arrangemont couid bo made during the coming summer. ; HALE 8. Dbelieved they conld, if they so desired, erect their works at somo other place than Ainsworth. Nothing had been done by the Company, althongh they had had several days to about it. Why could they not go where the Union Render- ing Company were located 7 . > ME. SWETT : did not want _to be understood as saying are- location could not be made; he consfdered it doubtfal. The Company wero investigating the question of removal, but hadnot yet reached any conclusion. ey s{ou!d have no_outlet for tho offal. MR, FISHER inquired if 'the Company would give sasurances of ‘removal within specified time, if not inter- fered with for six months. MB. SWETT could not answer the guestion dennit:g. He was not anthorized to fay that thoy wonld give up their charter until they knew where they wero going. MR, HALE understood that it was proxlnsad to erect works st & cost of £100,000; that did not look as if the Company intended to move. MR. WALL % vaan sccount of tho dificulties the original ounders of the “stink business”_had fo con- tend with, snd urged the Trustees to act like sensible ind just men, and not _drive the Com- any from Kineworth’ and inforo the packing usiness, by preventing the camying off and utilizatioa of the offal- ; MB. CADY %y eaidif the Company neoded legislation to re-lo- cate, the people of Hyde Park would aid them in obtaining it. He replied to Mr. W.u'umnxsgn. ment, and asserted that a subscription would be taken up for the Company, if they needod it. BMR. WAL became somewhat excited, and inaisted that Hyde Park, Cicero, and gtber towns should not pit & Chinese wall avound Chicago, and prevent the reception of cattle and hogs, sand the de- portation of refuse matter.. MATOR. MEDILL deeired to spoak, for tho roeeon that the City of Chicago was as muchinterested in the question 58 Hyde Park. He hadcalled the meeting that soms concluzion might be reached which would breach over the difliculty for s ehort time at least. There scemed tobe four interests in- volyod: First, the interests of Hyde Park, the residents of which \'i].la&u protested agaivet the longer continuance of the ccmplfi wi tho leged, it limits of their town, becanse, a8 cre- ated a noisance; second, the interest of the company . itself, which claimed \'nwdb | Deportment wo are sccure. Tho last .of the ocean, pnhnonmlagy rights. having largo sums of money in- vested in tho business - under 5 charter from the Legialature, giving it discretion to select n location ; third, tho packing interest of this city, perhaps the greatest of all single mdntsiuiea cl‘;'ieg_:)q bere; and fourly e cor- poration of - the City of icago from & ssnil Point “of xiow, " I tho midst of mm,-wm thero was no nuisance, and at the height of the packing season, the suthorities ‘of Hyde Park como forward snd urge that now is tho proper time to put an end to the existenco of the es- tablishment. From one point of vicw that would geem thé thing to do, but had they Hot acted too hastily? Were they not jumping from the frying pan intoa very hot fire? Suppose thelr purpose succeeded ? Thers would be no place” to_deposit the offal but on to prairies in the Town of Lake. The packing interest owned nearly sll the property there, znd would dump tho ref of their establishments on ths land ono or two feet deop. No one could dictate to them. /The result e, next summer, whon old 8ol shono brightly, putrefaction would get in, and tho smells emanating from the animal matter would be waftéd over Hyde Park and Chi- cago, and tho residents of both cities have n hundred times more resson and opportunity to complain than now, and ten 1h sunsol mare siiata than those prodacedat Ainsworth. Hehad beenin Hydo Park hundreds of times, day and night, and could assert that never, on_more than ang or two occasions, had his nostrils - encountered the Ainnsworth: smell. The odors - thero expe- rienced came from the Btock Yards and Bridge- port. .He hoped the.Hyde ‘Park authorities would consider the consequences of precipitate action, and roalize that overy stroke at tho pack- ing interest st this time was 2 blow at them- ves., - < . o 5 DR.

CULBERTEON, with e view of nccomzl)ishing something that would be satisfactory to all interested, moved that a committeo, oonsisting of thres packers and threo residents of Hyde Park, be npgointed z:lmmfcr together, and tryto adjustthe difii- 0 motion was agreed to, and the Chair an- nounced ns the Committoo : Packers, Kent, Cul- bertson andBottsfors, and -from Hyde Park, Meesra.

This Associstion met in the Library Hall, on Tuesday evening last, and, although the weather was quito inclement, the attendance was good. The following gentlemen were present: Prof. Oliver Marcy, Prof. Julius Kellogg, Prof. Louis Kistler, Dr. N. 8. Davis, Dr. F. E. Hemenway, Dr. M. Raymond, Prof. Chas. Reymond, Prof. L. L. Enox, Chas. Wm. Pearson, Colonel Wealey Drainard, Rev. E. N. Packard, O. K. Bannistor, E. L. Brown, E. 8. Taylor, and Francis E. Brad- loy. Prof. Marcy called the meeting to order, and ssked Colonel Brainard to take the chair for the evexing. 9 = The minutes of the last meoting belng read, the subjects upon which papera were to be pre- pared for the meeting were announced. Bocial Beience, L. J. Gage; Archmology, E. W. Blatch- ford, and Biography, Dr. H. M. Bannister. Those gentlemen not being in ¥éadiness, Prof. Oliver Marcy, the Chairman of the Committee on Inorganic Nature, rosd & paper in whicl he commented _on ~ the rmfiu of the subject, and the large flold for in- vestigation. Tho progress made in chemistry and miarnsoomu dwelt upon st some longth, also philosophical ideas. Tho Profeseor thought there was a distinction between Force and Power; the former he would define as the per- sistent enorgy, the latter as spontancous unoriy. Clemistry snd Physics can never explain tho mystery of Nature.

THE COUNTY XORMAL SCHOOZ. A ._The winter term 0t 1878 of the Cook County Normal School, at Englewood, has opened under suspices vary gratifying to the faculty. In the ‘Normal Department, proper, there are 115 pupils, 80 jucrease of 41 over the term previous. A Brm- portionate increase may be observed in the Pre- flxrnta Department. ‘Under themanagement of . D. B. Wentwortl, the Principal, the school is acquiring a national reputation, and is anin- stitation of which tho county may well boast. Itis tobo regretted that the boarding houses are not equal to tho incresse in the echool at~ tendance. Tho boarding houses in proximity to the school re more than comfortably filled. ‘Would it not be advisable for the “ powers that be” to take this matter under consideration ? Surcly, they will not allow the workof the school to be limited because of & lack of snita- blo accommodations from abroad ? WASHINGTON HEIGHTS.

Meeting of the Creditors of the Lum- . berman’s, 4 Dividend of Twenty Per Cont De- clared, Major Stevenson and His Lit- tle Bill. Bnnkrflfitcy Notes---Saloon-Keep- ers Sent to Jail. A meeting of the creditors of the Lumber- man's Insurance Company was held yesterday afternoon, to listen to the roport of the Assignes in bankruptcy, T. C.Hoag, to Register Hib- bard. The report ehowed thatthe amount of indebtadness of the Company was $488,835.97, 20 per cont of which wounld be £97,777.19. To moet this the report showed $89,005.30; and £11,010 paid as = dividend of 5 per ccnt before -the Company went into bankraptcy. The report waa very long and intricate. The claims against the Assignoe for an offeet on their own policies were only two in number, being George F. Fos- ter, 81,700, and J. 3. Williams, §2,500, the bal- ance being bought up claims. Bofore declaring a dividond, Register Hibbard explained that the case was ono of unusual in- tricnoy, inasmuch as the Company had declared a dividend of 5 per cent before going into bank- raptey, and it became s difficnlt matter to adju- dicate the claims fairly. Ifo proposed to de- clare 5 dividend of 20 per cont t6 thoso who had ndt received aay portion of the first dividend, and the same to those who had, deducting from the latter, however, the amount previously peid tothem. Those who objected to this method ‘might apply to the United States Courta for re- lief. Among those who did so obfect was ox- Alderman Gustav Busse, who wanted to havo his dividond paid over again. Judge Goodrich was asked to give his opinion of this proceeding, and substantially stated that there was no other equitablo way of adjusting affairs. Tho claims are to be pessed through the regular forms usnel in such cages. Following is s partial list of the stockholders wha have paid up in full aince the fire: M. B, Smith, A. F. Gibbs, Ambrose Foster, John H. Dunham, T. C. Hoag, P. L. Yoe, A. & H. Keep, Martin Ryerson, Grant Goodrick, 7. Modil, T. King, C. L. Wilson, W. W. Bushaell, W. W. Farwell, H. Reed, C. W. Cook. W. T.

Major Stevenson, D the Superior Court, loft for Springfleld, last important bill in his pocket, night, with s vory 0 swhiich it is intonded to place beforo tho Legis- Iature, having for it objoct the conferring of suthority o tho Jadgos of tho Circrit snd B erior Courts to call on all or any of the Circait ‘ourt Judges in this Stato to hold branch conrts of the Buperior or Circnit. Courts. Miajor Bte- vonson was unable to furnish a copy of the pro- poscd billfor publication, as it Lug not yot been snbmitted to the members, and it would be s discourtesy and inconvenience to publish in ad- vance tho details of bill which mey, and prob- ably will, be considersbly changed in its shape b«l{;xu it is considered in & it state to go before the Legislature. Ttis no breach of confidence, however, and will d0 no harm to the Iill, to say that the idea originated with certgin membars of the Chicago bar, who have long felt greatly inconvenienced by the immense accumulation of business in our Courts without a carresponding increase in the facilities for transacting it After somo talk, it was thought expedient to draw up this blll, of which the rough draft was entrusted to the m‘iarto convoy to headquarters, which draft, and a fair copy thereof, wereyesterdsy embarked in the care of the Major a3 Indicated. sal- of the Judges is intended to be 310 per diem. *Tvery one connected with the legal business of Chicago must long have felt the want of some such actionas this, pasticularly gince tho la- mented and lengthened absence of Jndgo Jame- son, through illnosa; and evory onowill wish stccess to Stevenson and his bill.

The net receipts of the road for the six months end- ing the 1st inst;, after deducting opersting and intorest accounts, were $774,825.23. The gross receipts show an increase over those of the cor- reeponding six months of 1871, of 8287,395.16, but the not receipta’ show an increase only of $£91,749.08.

' We mske the fol- lowing extracts : > S During tho past scason there have beea very large expenditurea for tho permanent improvementof the of tho Comp:ny, Seventy miles of doubls Track havo boon graded, bridged, and prepared for tha rall, Owing to dolays in delivery of steel rails, after contracts, and the early winter, this extent of track has ot been” fully completed. About forty mmles of t, however, sre complated snd_in use, and with t¥o or threc weeks mare of mild weather nedrly all would have been inuse this winter, Sixteen thousand tons of stecl rails have been purchased and paid for. Fiftysoven _locomotives ~ bave been added to ihe power, and upwards of 1,000 box aud fiat cars have been added to the rolling stock, New machine ehopa, on n acalo adequate to the necossities of the road, have been completed at Jack@on, A new passanger house, Iarge enough for the basiness at the sume nas ‘Deen built, and savernl others have been built af less important’ places, where they had become of absoiute necessity. Landa havo been acquired, in tho vicinity of Detrolh fax now car ahiops, which ave becoms necessary for the repairs anc proper maintenance of the Tolling stock. Twenty-six miles have been sdded to the sitings, in vasious plsces. These and other pérmanent additions o tho properts, ‘made indispensable by the increasing volume of brusi- ness, and the pasment of $300,000 of bonds, which ‘matrired 15t July last, havo abaorbed more than the ‘amonnt of money realizod by ihe sale of £4,500,000 bonda, The earnings of the last six montha having Deen tised in construction, and the condition of the ‘money market not being favorable for the sale of bonds 3t their value, nor for borrowing money, the Directors ‘havo thought it for the beat interssts of 'tha stockbold- ers o pey tiem for helr dividend 1 atock, and lave ‘accordingly voted o do so, Owing to the amount of construction going ¢n Aur- ing the sesson, business has boen done at conaiderable dissdvantage, Tho Board also regrats to say that the Dusiness of the Tosd s suered, and {a still suffer- ing very largely, from tho fnability of the Great West- ern xjwny ‘to transport aver i¢ the business we bring fot with prompiness. It is hoped those causea will be obviated very carly this yesr, if not by pulting that rosd in » position to be ablo o meet the do- manis upon it, certainly by the sdditional outlets which the construction of the Ganada Sauthern, and thonarrowing of the_gaugeof the Grand Trunk, be- tween Detroit and Buffalo, will give us. Untd the means of moving business east of Detroit are equal to ioseof the roud of thls company, ouz bustnoas must continue to rufler, and very greatly. As stated, how- ever, it is hoped this time will be short, and that with- in & fev months the difficalties alluded to msy bo overcome. CHICAGO, BAGINAW & CANADA RAILWAY. Captain E. L.
