Conner Srone or tHe Tract Society Buitoina.—The corner stone of the new building to be erected by the American Tract Society, at the corner of Nassau and Spruce streets, wes laid yesterday afternoon at half past 6 o'clock. The exercises were commenced by an address by Rev. Dr. Knox, of the Reformed Dutch Chureh, who stated that 30 years ago a Tract Society was formed, and that a building was erected on the same ee where they now stood. With the rent acc: rom stores. a balance of debt which the Society owed had Lego yu and five thousand dollars paid into the Society’s funds.— Six religious denominations were now represented in the Soci the cause was prospering. It was thought advisable to have the printing of the Society donein the le same building with its other offices, and the old building was found too weak and insecure for thatpurpose. The committee appointed to investigate the matter, decided to erect anew building. Not one cent ofthe money ap- dies to this purpose was to be extracted from the junds ofthe Society, as the rents of the offices, not used by the Society, would pay for the building. The corner. stone was then laid by Rev. Dr. Knox, who placed init a sealed box containing the bible the names of the officers ofthe Society, the act of incorporation, names of life- members and directors, the last reports of the Tract So- cieties in London, Philadelphia and Boston, and the names lel) | of the architects and building committee. After the cere- mony was concluded, a pre er was made by Rev. Mr. Somers, and after a benediction, the crowd raed. incident which te us marred the interest of the occasion, was the attempts of a genius, of the Paul Pry tribe, to discover for whom were repo! , and not discovering, made some very insulting remarks. such an occasion, a Sore: or personality should by all’ means be av.
