An clegant sword and belt were_presented to Gen. Louis Schafluer, Paymaster-Geperal of I11- inois, by a few of his friends Friday last. Tbe presentation specch was happlly made by Recorder Brockway, and well responded to by the General. Col. David Parry, of the First United States Cavalry, and wife are visiing with the family of Mr. Proudfoot, at No. 494 Belden avenue. Col, . Parry went through the entire Modoc war, and received the sword of Capt. Jack when' that worthy surrendered. Several members of the Grand Jury yesterday visited the Ceunty Hospital and inspected the waorkings of that Institution. ‘They expressed their satisfaction with the manner in which aflairs_are being run, and desire to thank the West Side Railroad Company for the free trans- portation given them. The Cook County Board of Education held a regular meeting at 2 o'dock vesterday after- noon in their rooms on Randolph street. with 8. 8. Gardver inthe chair. The par-roll for December, amounting to $1,130, was approved. Some other unimportant miscellancous business was transacted, after which the Board adjourn- ed for one month. A meetingof the Lumbermen’s Exchange was held yesterday mortiing, President McDonald in ke chair, to take action in regard to the death of Mr. H. F. Getchell, an old and respected member of the Exchange. . Mr. J. H. Swan and_Mr. Wheelock spoke feclingly of the loss the Exchange dnd the trade had sus- tained, and, after the sdoption of suitable reso- lutions, the meeting adjourned. Police Officer Johm Linn writes to correct an ‘unintentional error which crept into an account of an arrest made by him on Larrabee street on ibe st inst. It appears that the driver of a wagon refused to zet off the car track; that Linu attempted to arrest him and was assauited By o mob, and that he only succecded in getting away after receiving some severc blows. He denies that he was intoxicated as was alleged, and says be is not a drinking man. . It is getting to be an almost every-day oceur- rence for the dummy trains of the Rock Island and Lake Shore & Michigan Southern roads to have windows in their cars broken by stones thrown by careless boys or reckless young men along the lide from Thirty-first street to Fifty- fifth. Passengers on several occasions have narrowly escaped serious injury. The police of the Town of Lake and city should éxert them- sclves to arrest some of the gang and teach them a lesson. A meeting of the **40 Club,” a literary asso- ciation_recently orzanized on the West Side, ‘was held Friday evemng at the residence of Mr. C. H. Cu%!\'n. 580 West Adams street.

Mrs. L. H. Bisbee gave a sketch of the Jife of William Cullen Bryant, and Mrs. Sher- wood read from * Thanatopsis.” The affair was a very pleasant one. The hair of 2 man_residing on West Adams street turned white in a single day last week. Itwas not through the fallure of a savings aok, or the giscovery that his wife loved an- other, or that his daughter bad run away with a srried man, or that wheat bad made a disas- astrous fluctuation. No, it was for none of these reasons, but only because his five younger children bad reccived for Christmas presents drums, bugles, accordions, air-guns, and like ‘agreeavle presents, while his daughter had ot astack of Wagnerian music which she insisted on trying at once. At a meeting of tne Post-Officc Employes’ Mutual Aid Association held last night at the oftice of Assistant Postmaster Squiers, the of- ficers of the past year were all unanimousty re- elected as follows: President, C. E. B Vice-President, E. L. Taylor; Secretary, Michaud; Treasurer, C.S. Squiers; Executive Committee, Messrs. Jobn Davy of the West Side, W. W. Breckbill of the South Side, and E. Waltgenbach of the North Side. The or- ranization is now in a prosperous and happy condition, and there are 320 members. “The Israclites,” said the husband of a model and cconomical housckecper, “the Israclites may have had quails till tley couldn’t Test, aud began to sich for hash, but tney were Jews and couldn’t have pork fn their stews, so I don’t wonder. But if the Istaclites had had Toast turks Tuesduy, and turkey warmed over on Wednesday, and cold turkev on Thurs- day, and hashed turkey on Friday, and turkey- Lone soup on Saturday, then they'd have kicked.

Lovers of the genfal cocktail and the fragrant mint-julep, as_also the humbler but more numérous worshipers of the pleasant beer, have Dbegun to fear that the absence of frost i this latitude might interfere with the usual supply of ice. Without jce the cocktail is as naught, while an essential element in the manufacture of rood beer is something to cool it with. But the philanthropic L‘xwu'n_?!Jaunuzl comes nobly fo the rescue of the suilerers, and a series of interviews with iceqmen published in that paper yesterday shows that there is no present fear of an ice-famine. y ‘The dealers state that although the season is backward, the crop will no doubt be properly harvested. r Stone_Lake, Geneva Lake, Crystal Luke, Wolf, and Calumet Lakes, and the Calumet and Desplaines Rivers, the lakes in the differens parks, und other sources of supply in or near the city, and last year over 1,000,000 tons were thus obtained.

A young married man who had, like Napo- Icon, much confidence in his Star, resolved last Moundav night to draw a turkey ata rafile. He aceordingly went to a saloon where the Evil One had prepared this particular sort of trap for the unwary. and boldly bucked the tiger, or, to speak moré accurately, the turkey. He took chances on tweaty-cight turkeys at 25 cents each, and un the _twenty-eizhth essay was suc- cessful. He had also taken several drinks be- and some drinks between drinks. vay home ne critically examined bis , and his inspection did not seem to be sat- 1sfuctory, fur he weut outside on the platform ana said to the car-driver: * Shee here!

On the other side it was contended that Chicago cuter- prise would sustain such an institution—that now was the time to organize, for if there was a delay, St. Louis or Kansas City, or gomne other second-class town would establish a Board, and then Chicazo's opportunity Lo con- trol the mines ol the West would be gone.

The Chicago Coat Exchange held aregular monthly meeting yesterday afterncon in its- room in the Merchants' Building, corner of La- Salle and Washington strects. A dozen mem- bers were preseat. William E. Johnson, Vice- President, presided, and D. McGary acted as Secretary. The minutes of the ‘last mecting contained a. resolution rescinding one that had been passed ot a previous meeting, which provided for an advance of 25 cents per ton on the prices of coal, and after the Seccretary read the record Mr. Hathaway moved that_the rescinding reso- fution be expitnged from the minutes, but is motion was lost, alter some talk. Mr. Hathaway also moved that the Baker brothers be reinstated as members of the Ex- chauge. » It was stated that they could not be admitted under the rules, because and Mr. Stone said their ndmission camstances would be establishing o bad prece: deut, and open the Exchange to retail coal- dealers.’ Mr. Hathaway said that the Messrs. Baker were temporarily ont, of a dock, and urzed their reinstaliment, but his motion was lost bya rising vote of §to 6. A resolution was offered vroviding for the ex- pulsion of Kelley, Morley & Co., and condemn- inge their business conduct. The languuge was strong and caustic, and several members ob- jected to it. - Mr. Stone moved an amendment, striking out the objectionable lanzuage, aud simply pro- viding for their expulsion. Mr. Dunn read o rule that required the rel- erence of all matters concerning the expulsion of members to the Board of Directors, and the resolution was thus referred. ‘A specia]l Committee appointed at the pre- vious meeting for the purpose of stopping further shipments of coal to this city, reported that the coal shH)pcrs East had assured them that there would not be any more shipments until demanded. The report was accepted and the Committee discharzed. The meeting then adjouancd. Previous to the opening of the meeting a member predicted a cold snap, and said that there were stilt ho%cs of getting good prices, unless there were bankrupt firms that would sell at any price they conld get nud_then settle with their creditors. ~ For the last three or four years, he continued, there bad becn somebody ho sold coal aud failed, and settled with the creditors on a basis of 40or 50 per cent. Kelley, Morley & Co. owed ond creditor $110,000, and he wasn’t 8 bit sorry for said creditor, whom be thought had no business to trust them. Otber remarks pertinent to the subject were | made by several gentlemen. - The Directors of the Excnange held a confer- ence in their private room, and transacted some routine business before the Exchange met. KELLET, MORLEY' & CO. This firm yesterday made o compromise with its creditors on a basis of 50 cents, one-third cash, and the rest in six and nine months, Mr. Kelley, the lumberman, who is a brother of the coal man, indorsiug the puper. The creditors were quite numerous, and prominent smong them were the Butler Colllery Company, who were fnterested to the extent of $115,0005 Todd. Morris & Co., of Cleveland, $20,000; Smith, Cant * Co.,. of Clevelwd, $17,000; A. G. Cook, Oswezo, $20,000; . L. Scott & Co., of Erle, $15,000; E. L. Hedstrom & Co., of Buffalo, $5,000; Walsh & Hacketts, Detroit, $10,000; and A. G. Yates, of Roches- ter, $3,000,—all for coal delivered to K., M. & Co. Then there was B. P. Hutchinson for §40,- 000, on account of accommodatious extended by the Corm Exchange National Bauk, and which he became responsible for. ~Will- iam _Lion, a member of the Board of Trade, was on _hand to represent $20,000—moncy borrowed to continue the coal war. A aumber of smaller ereditors were also squeezed into the little back room. The Read- ing Company, to whum the firm owes $52,000, were tclegraphed, but sent no represeutative. The liavilities of the firm amount to $324,000. THE BABY SHOW.

Bliss was borue to cternity in the harrowing disaster at Ashtabula, and last night a memorial service was hela in Lower Farwell Hall, at which were present a large number of those who bad known him in life, and to whom the news of his death came, one year ago, with a peculiarly sad sig- iicance. Maj. Goley the. welKnonn sann ist, presided, and the singing was led by Mr. Frank Williams. Among the songs composed by Mr. Bliss, which were first sung, was the familiar ** Hold the Fort.” No song, said Maj. Cole, that Mr. Bliss had written had been sung 50 often or with such fervency as this. Whether in America or in Europe, ft had proved am universal {avorite at all the revival meetings, and never had the Mzjor believed 50 much in the power of son 88 when ba heard it sung by thousands of little children fa London. Air. Moody’s ser- mons might be forgotteds many had nevel heard them; * Hold the Fort” was in every- body’s mouth, When the Major returned fo Chitago, he met Mr. Bliss at the Brevoort House. _The lattor was going away for a few days, and on his return Maj. Cole was to sec hiin azain and have a long taik with him about the success of the meetings in Eugland. That meeting was never held, for his friend, the swecet singer, was 500N 10 more. § *Sceking to save,” another of Mr. Bliss ngs, was sung as a solo and chorus. Maj. Cole invited individual expressions from the audience as to what songs had, in their opinlon, been most blessed, . Mr. Williams, who condueted the singing, gave in bis voice for “Pull for the shore,” which was then sung, and Maj. Cole gave an'anecdote illustrating its popularity among 800 little sailor-boys whom he had sung it with in one of the training-ships at Perth, Scotland. ‘Atiother gentleman wanted to hear ¢ [am so glad that Jesus loves me.” The request brought forth another story from Maj. Cole aud the siuging of the song. 2 Mr. Vanarsdale followed with an anecdote showing the influoiice upon a poor prodieat of the singing of - Hallelujub, wiat a Savior.” That favorite was then sung with peculiar feryor. 1t w fol{lmr_eid by the singing of **Wishing, hoping, knowin Maj. Cole, speaking of a talk by Maj. Whittle on the subject of assurance ol nceeptation with Christ, safd that Mr. B sfter hearing the sermon, was more than ever linpressed with the thought, and sat down and at once wrote a Song on this topic. : - *¢ Hore holiness give me,” was next sung. The last selection was Only remembered by what I have done,” the words of which, Maj. Cole said, were peculfarly dear to Mr. Bliss, for the opportunity to perpetuate whose memory he could but-thank God. He shopld ever recall, with feclings of the deepest pleasure, his association with his departed fricnd,—how he had been encournged by his kindly words, his beaming looks, his devout, carnest prayers. Maj. Cole thien led fo prayer in behalf of the wo little boys Mr. Bliss left, and the memorial service was over. MATRIMONIAL. 1876-1877. ' Taken altogether, the past year has not been as good a one for marrvine and giving in mar- riage in Cook County, at least, as was its prede-~ cessor. The returns from the Marriage-License Clerk’s office shows a falling off for the year of 191, as will appear in the following table: 1877, 400 December, Total .. It will be seen that along in the year, except for the month of February, the decrease was not very great, but for the months o July, August, and September, the falling off is very perceptible. It will be remembered— with good cause for remembering it, too—that along in July and August it became the proper thing to do for savings-banks to fail, and for their mavagers to fly to othier and far happier, as well gs safer, cilmes. Possibly, and very probably, the faflures of so many banks in which, presumably, were stored the hard-earned savings of many a youthful swain _in anticipation of the time when he should have to. provide for instead oi one, may have played hob, so to speak, with many a nice-laid matrimonial scheme, aud thus have contributed to this la- mentable showing. Then the general hard times, and the loss of positions in consequence thercof; the excitement attending the strikes, and the natural disinclination of the averaze young man to matrimony when the blast ot war from the Halsted street viaduct was blowing in bis ears, inviting him to *‘imitate the action of the tizer, stiflen the sinews, summon up the hlood,” and *streak the pale air ” with rioters® gore,—sll this may have ven, and probably did give, a sct-b fo the formation of life-partnerships, and helped make the showing new presented by the Clerk’s books. Atanmy rate, whatever the causc or causes, the facts are that the falling off for July was twenty-five, for August eighty-cight. and for September 121, - Sice then, it” will be re. marked, the change has been all the other way. In October, usually the favorite month, the i crease over the corresponding mouth of last year was seventy-one. November closed with an increase of fifty-three, and up to iast night December, 1577, was _ahiead of December, 1576, by just sixteen. With the restoration of ‘the dollar of our daddics,” and the dawn of the Jong-looked for improvewent in business, the returns for 1873 may give tuose for 1877 the back seat. ? BISHOP SEYMOUR. IS POLICY. A dispatch to an evening paper yesterday con- tained the following extract from the reply of the Rev. George F. Seymour, to the official communication informing him of his election as Bishop of the Diocesc of Springfield: The fact that the election was unanimons im- presses me profoundly, and I cannot, I dare not, decline hastily and without deep searchings of the heart and patient waitng for Divine guldance. In response to earnest, continued prayer, and the help to be derived from the connsel of friends who aro qualified to advise, if I am not qualificd to say *no " at once I do not see any course open for me to pursue but to wait until the Church at large, throush her constituted authoritics, has expressed” her judgment, in which event I may be spared the anxiety and 'distress of deciding between the claims of my present position and the solemn call extended to me. as 1 believe, under the guid- ance of God. the Holy Ghost, from all the clerzy, and ull the laity present in the primary Convention of the Diocese of Springileld to become the first Bishop In the new jurisdiction. 1f the question comes really before me to determine, ve assured 1 shall meet it prompily in the fear of God, and beneath this bar of judgment I shall do my best toreacha right conclusion, and immediately ap- prise vou of the result. This meaus, in short, that he Intends to wait until he finds out whetber be is confirmed by the standing committees aud the Bishops before he formally accepts. It was the custom 1n otber days for a persan elected to this high office to accept or decline, off-hand, but of late that abit has fallen into disuse, and it has been found nuore advisable to wait until the matter wus detinitely settled. Dr. Seymour himself once aceepted the Bishopric of 1liinois and was rejected by the General Convention. Dr. _DeKoven acceptéd the Bishopric of Tnois and was rejected by the standing committees. For this reason several ersons who bave recently been clected to the high otlice of Bishup bave withheld their formal consent until success was assured. Dr. Sey- mour’s friends here feel o doubt about his ac- cepting, if confirmed, aud little question as to lis contirmation, it not being deened likely that more than cight or teu dioceses will vote against him. 1t is believed that he will acceot, partly beeause it will be a vindieation of himself ‘from the unjust charges made against him a few years ago, and partly because he believes he is fitted to perform the duties of Bishop, even in as luree avd undeveloped a diocese a3 that of Springficll. There is no question, therefore, that an acceptance will fol- 1w Immediately after confirmation, and that he will take to his mew field of labor the same ability that_he has displayed for so many years in New York, HOTEL MEN. THEIR MONTILY MEETING. The Iotel-Keepers' Association held a meet- ing yesterday afternoon at 3 o’clock in the office of the fotel fteporter, 126 Washington street. There were present Messrs. Iulbert, Gill, New- man, Wilcox, Sands, Munger, Pinny, and Wood- cock. Col. Alvin Hulbert presided, and Mr. Scott, of the Keporter, acted as Secretary. The Committee on Preparations for the Firemen’s Tournament were given further time 10 report as to hotel rates, ete. The propostd amendment to the constitution allowing outside lotel-keepers to join and en- joy the benelits of the Association was dis- cussed &t great length, and was finally adopted. The clause provides that outsideys may join by vaying 35 cach, and enjoy all the benefits of the Association without baving a vote in the meet- ings. The matter of prepaying postage was called up by Capt. Jewett Wilcox, and discussed at some lenzth. The incorect impression seemed to prevail that Postmaster Palmer wagdiserim- inating azainst Chicago hotel proprictors. Mr. Morledge, of the Walnut Street House, Ciucinnati, stated that letters were forwarded from there without being prepaid. It was stated that here carners refuse to wait uutil lesters are redirected, aud thus the pro- prietors are compelled to pay the additional Dostage. Mr. Wilcox moved that a committee of two be appoiuted to confer with Postmaster Paliner on the subject. Messrs. Wilcox and Wooduock were appointed the Committec. Mr. Rice, of the Reporter, exhibited the model of a new fire-extinguisber, upon which he Lad #pplied for s patent, and which was closely ex- £ ! { \ bt amined, and Messrs. Wilcox and Woodcock ap- pointed a Committee to investizate the feasi- hility of placing it upon all the floors of hotels, expense, of course, being an important copsid- eration. The following resolution was adopted: Rerolred, That in the loss of J. W. Towne, o well-known and respectable citizen of Chicago, ooe of the most honorable and upright men ever engared in the hotel business, we deplore the loss of a kind and generous friend whose place will be hard to 1], and we sincerely sympathize with bis family in their great and Irreparable loss, . The meeting then adjourned. SUBURBAN. o HYDE PARK. The Board of Trustees met at the Village Hall Saturday afterncon at the usual time. Al members present.

The matter was_discussed for some time, and referred to the Finance Committee. After doing some minor business the Board adjourned. £ The reporter met Capt.
