The bail st the Newhall House, under tho aospices of these young Iadies, fs intended to replenish the coffers of the So ciety, frightra‘ly decimated by the domands of a tigorons winter, : ‘THE SPEUIr MANTA, *rhich bas been riging through the country, bzs Attacked Milwaukee in s most violent form. Tue frat persons infected were gentlemen on the Sentinel editorial staff, who epeedily got upao excitement, Several spelling-classes camo off with varions saccess in differont churc1es, bat tho exbibition inspired by the Sentinel young men was the first big night. Summerfield Meth- odist Church waa fi'lod, and hundreda were turned away. Over 1,000 paid for admission in a church with bare sesting-room for 600, end crowds chokod the passage ways, corridors, and staircases, A dictionary “offered by the Sentinel Company was won by Hr. 8tapicdon, gentleman who ected for the Sentinel a8 Sadieon correspondent” last -winter. ‘The succezs{al contestants in the geveral match were Frank Whipp, Secretary of tne Northwest- ema ‘Mr. and Mire.

Four were discharged, oo 8 preliminary examination yesterday, ‘Tho disturbances in that cuurch involved a con- ict between two factions of the congregation. On the one side are Radzinskv ond the priest. Budzinaky is the ex-President. Joseph Leller is his successor and provent President of the Bociety. The pricet was upposed to the new ad- Minietration of Heller, and joined with Rad- zinsky in resisting coutro) by the new adminis- tration of the zoveroment of ie slenseh, Badzinsky's party embrace a very emall minoniy of the Terps of the church and society. The new asdwiuistration of Helior bas the support of at least oiae-tenths of the mei- dersiup. The opposition party of the priest and Budzinsky to the new sdministra.ion, with more feres of intelligence than the cow party, has waged a butor Warfare ae the tstter. They managed, by every possible means aud much in- genuity, to obstruct the uew church govera- ment, and ail the personal conflicts which have come before the munietpai court for investigation have . grown out of tho contests betwern these fact ons, which con- ficts, inaugurated by the Tudzmsky faction, have beeo resisted br the Heller faction, Among the riotous demourtrutions sworn to, was en st tack on Rudzinsiy’s house, in which tho windows wore smashed and tho inmates assailed with Stones ; not, however, until tho Heller people had beeo fired upow by somebosy from Rudzia- eky’s porch.

There is nothing of gevoral inter- est to be recorded. Saioon caucuses will take Place every uight during next week to nominate for the little offices requiring occupauts. The indications are that a pretty lively fight on Al- de-wen, wherever an Aiderman’s Lead is tobe found, may be expected. No issues of impor- tance are involved, aud it is to be hoped the best ‘een will bo elected.

The Sareea directea Proceedings to be commenced for the recovery ‘of the money, and, in the inquiry that ensued, it was fonnd out, as your corréspondent bas heard it alicged, that similar proceedings have been . instituted by other persons in thesame unfortunate condition. Oxo is tho ease of a mau named Hines, who deposited the eavings of a lifetime of toil in tho bank—$11,000.
