There is no branch of litigation that occupies the at- tention of the courts more than that growing out of disputes as to the custody of children. Two of these cases came yesterday before Judge Donohue. The ‘irst was where Anna Q’Hara seeks to recover her infant child from Mrs. Colvill, to whom she had given it to nurse and for which she paid $12 a month, The later would not give the mother her child, but got it ap- Pprenticed to her by the Commissioners of Charities and Correction as an abandoned child. Counseller Nolan, on behalf of the mother, made a very lengthy and forci- Vie argument. Judge Donohue directed evidence to be tuken as to the powers of the Commissioners to ap- entice the child and as to the fitness of the mother to we its care, In the second case Mrs. Oliver, a step- mother, pursuant to the wishes of her busband before his death, piacea his four infant children in Leake and Watts’ Orpban Asylum.

COURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS, ‘ Before Recorder Hackett, WhoM YOUTH TO AGE—A TWENTY YEARS’ SEN- TENCE. An unusual instance of youthful depravity was yester- @ay developed in this court on the trial of a young man mamed Charles W. Madden, who was tried for burglary ‘fin the firet degree. The complainant was his mother, ‘who testified that she lived at No. 552 Second avenue, ‘and that at one o’clock on the 29th of August the ac- cused effected an entrance into her room by going ‘through the window and stole $8 in money out of her dress pocket. This was her story, which she told laboring under such mental excitement as to render it mecessary for a lady friend to supporther while in the ‘witness chair, The prisoner, who was only twenty years old, swore | ‘that he did not enter the room, but was at pier No, 1 | North River, on the night in question. He then pro- ceeded, with unblushing effrontery, to tell the jury | Shat he had served a term in the State Prison for Jarceny, and that his father sent him to the Peniten Siary for a murderous assault upon bis mother, and that lhe escaped from the Island. The jury rendered a verdict without leaving their | Beats. ‘The Recorder, in passing sentence, said that never since he was on the Bench did he witness such a dis- tressing caso. He understood that the prisoner's whole | life had been stained with crime, and that on previous occasions he drove bis heart-broken mother from her house and threatened to murder her with acarving | Knife, State Prison for twenty years, A SENTENCES. + George Hoffman pleaded guilty to an indictment | ebarging bim with stealing a horse and wagon on the ‘Dist of August, valued at $225, the property of George Gerst. The horse and wagon were recovered. Hoffman | ‘was sent to the State Prison for two years and six gponths. The same sentence was imposed npon James Mc- | Carthy, who on the 13th of this month effected an en- trance into the cloth store of Wolf & Levy, No. 204 | Church street, No property was taken. Daniel Titus, who stole two wolf skin robes, valued et $100, on the ist of August, the property of John | ‘Woods, pleadet guilty. The prisoner was sentenced | to the State Prison for two years aud six months, at hard labor. Francis Collettee, on the night of the 17th of Septem- Der, effected a burglarious entry into the warehouse of Julius Klanke, No. 174 South’ Fifth avenue, and bad $125 worth of fur goods ready for removal. He pleaded uilty to burglary in the third degree, and was seu- mced to the Penitentiary for two years. Michael Beck was tried upon an indictment charging him with robbery in the first degree. Tne complain- fing witness, Christopher J. Smith, @ sailor, testified | that while he was walking through Greenwich street Ihe was seized by the acccused, who robbed him of $35, gud threatened if he made an outcry to knock his brains out. The i 9 rendered a verdict of guilty of grand larceny. His Honor imposed the highest penalty | the jaw allowed, which was imprisonment in the State Prison for five years. John Daley, who on the 2d of April struck Francis | McNamee several severe blows on the head, pleaded | guilty to assault and batiery, He was sent to the Peni- tentiary for one year. LARCENY. Henry Botollow, alias Henry Pattellum, charged with stealing $55 from William Mackay at a liquor saloon in Bayard street, pleaded guilty, He was sentenved to the State Prison for one year. RECEIVING STOLEN GooDs. Dennis Hickey was indicted for robbery and receiv. | ¢ tng stolen goods and convicted of the latter offence. | The proof adduced by the prosecution was that about the 6th of last March John Mathewson was assaulted and robbed of a gold watch valued at $250 while pass- ing through Washington street at ten o'clock in the Bight. He struggled with his lants and succeeded in retaining a large amount of money which he had in bis possession. They succeeded, however, in getting away with the watch. A severe snow storm was pre- | vailing at the time, and he was so badly beaten that Mr, Mathewson was unable to identify any of the men who attacked him. A few days after the robbery the watch ‘was traced to po ppesearg of the prisoner, who pro- cured a loan of $75 upon it from asaioon keeper. The accused swore that he bought the watch of a young man for $40. A verdict of guilty of receiving stolen goods was ren- dered. The prisoner was remanded for sentence, POLICE COURT NOTES. Richard Van Hoxton, of Opdyke avenue, Woodlawn, N. Y., was walking in the Bowery on Monday night Somewhat “boozy”? from excessive potations, when Edward Cassidy and his wife Catharine, as he alleges, Picked him up and took him to « lodging house in Pell street.

HOW THE PERPETRATORS OF A BURGLARY WERE DISCOVERED. o4 In the Court of Qyer and Terminer, Justice Tappen presiding, at White Plains, Westchester county, yester- day, James Rheal, a notorious rowdy of that village, was arraigned on an indictment for burglary, under some- what unusual circumstances. The crime, it appears was committed last July, when a clothing store in the place | named was broken into, anda quantity of goods carried off. Noclew could at the time be obtained to the perpetra- tors. A few days ago Rueal, and a companion named Whemore visited Rye, and both becoming intoxicated, they assaulted a woman, robbed the money drawer over which ehe presided, besides committing other breaches of the peace, for ‘which five indictments were found mst Rheal and oue for felonious assault against Whetmore. The latter has since been convieted and sentenced to three years in the Albany Penitentiary. While awaiting his trial, Rheal confessed to having participated in the burglary already indicated, and also | gave such information to the authorities asled to the prompt arrest of two other young men, named respec- Uvely Thomas Parmenter and Edward Baxter, the latter being town clerk of White Plains. Through the influence of Baxter's friends he was allowed to become State’s evidence, while Parmenter was yesterday com- | mitted for further examimation by Justice Long. Rneal was permitted to plead guilty, and was sentenced by Justice Tappen to eight years in the State Prison. CRIMINALS INDICTED.

Chancellor Crosby last night delivered the lecture in- troductory to the course of 1875 6 before the students of the medical department of the University of the City of New York, at the new college building recently | erected opposite Bellevue Hospital in Twenty-sixth | street The hall and future lecture room was well filled with persons of both sexea The exercises com- menced with the reading of the Scriptures and prayer | by the Kev. William M. Taylor, D. D. After afew in- troductory remarks by Mr. Alfted Post the Rey. How- ard Crosby, D. D., LL. D., began his lecture, The sub- Ject was the ‘Ethics of Medical Men.” He considered | the pbysician in a double aspect—tirst, as he should be | an the sick room, and secondly, his position with ref- erence to his fellow doctors and the public generally. He warned the young students against several faults common to too large a number of the members of the | medical profession, such as assuming a solemn look, | | | affecting an air of mystery, medical hobbies and thelike, | He concluded with an exhortation to the students to make use of all their present privileges. The lecture was listened to with the greatest interest By the audi- Benediction by the Rey. Mr. Taylor closed the THE HUDSON RIVER TUNNEL. EXTENSIVE PREPARATIONS FOR THE RESUMPTION oF WORK. The most active preparations have been on foot for several days past for resuming work on thé Hudson River Tunnel. Colonel Haskins, President of the com- Bry, has gone West to secure the co-operation of estern railroad companies. The Delaware and Lack- awanna Railroad Company is making efforts to ob- struct the progress of the work. The opposition to the construction of the tunnel will with- drawn if an exclusive right of way be granted to | that company. To this proposition the Hudson Tunnel Company give pointblank refusal, It is now proposed to purchase the meadow property lying be- tween St. Peter's cemetery and the Hackensack River as the most available for a depot, warehoyses, machine Shops, etc, Negotiations for this purpose were com- menced yesterday. The property In question was de- | signed for a city park two years ago. A bill was passed | during the last session of the Legislature organizing an | improvement company tor this purpose, but nothing has yet been done in this direction except the laying out of | Streets from West Side avenue to the river. INCENDIARISM. At two o'clock yesterday morning an attempt was made to burn a tenement house in the rear of the line | of houses on the south side of Warren street, near Third avenue, The building was fired on the outside in three places, the weather boards torn beg rags and cotton, saturated with Kerosene oil, stuffed in between them. ' The (ire was extinguished with dificulty, The premises are insured for $700, The structure was oo- cupied by a poor pecan sc: le, among the number being a colored man ni est, who has a white woman for a wife. A few weeks ago the building was set on fire, man who had formerly carried on a junk shop there was arrested on suspicion of arson, but ‘was discharged through want of evidence, Fire Mar- shal Keady is bl! the case, The property is owned by James Dufly FIRE AT FORT HAMILTON. Shortly after eleven o'clock on Monday night last a fire broke out in the dwelling house of Mr. John Leary, on Atlantic avenge, about 200 feet from Fort Hamilton. | Owing to the high wind that prevailed the flames speedily enveloped the building, which was of wood, The alarm was promptly given and the people turned Out en masse to render assistance. . The door was found to be locked and had to be burst open. A servant girl, named Kelly, was rescued from the burning structure with some difficulty, she being found asleep in bed by the firemen. Mr. Leary ana wile absent when the fire occurred. Theexplosion of @ kerosene oil ve Willan Fiusimmons, feloniong atauuly and lamp waa the cause of the fire, The loss js about 84,100, WALL STREET NOTES. | GOULD AND PARK IN STOCKS-—-THE WRESTLE OF THE GIANTS—MEETING OF PANAMA RAILROAD. Yesterday stocks were strong and indicated advanc- | Ing figures. The Paciflc Mail Steamship Company was reported to have sold their Japanese line of sidewheel wooden steamers at a good price, and this rumor, in | conjunction with the fact that Mr, Trenor W. Park, | President of the Panama Railroad, was a heavy buyer of the aforementioned stock, led to an important advance. | The fluctuations will be found in the proper column. It may be observed, en passant, that the antagonism of Park and Gould is clear and well defined, The.latter gentieman tried to coerce the former in the trade of last spring, and was foiled by the finely vempered steel of the former, In English history wo have a record in regard to the WAR OF THE ROSES; the newspaper press of to-day may decide, however, whether victory shall pereh on the bannérs of the ‘blonde or brunette’’—for by such names are Park and Gould mentioned in Wall street. This much may be said, at least, that the guerilla captains on both sides seem to be busy, and whether Park be buying Gould orGould be selling Park there are none but Paciilo males looking on at the contest. THE GOLD AND STOCK TNLEGRAPH COMPANY held a meeting yesterday at their office in the building of the Western Union Telegraph Company. No official statement of earnings and liabilities was given to the public. The Board of Directors elected tor the follow- ing year was William Orton, N. Green, T. R. Edson, J. H. Bancker, Marshall Lefferts, A, B. Cornell, H. R. Pierson, J. B. Prescott and Augustus Schell. The in- spectors were C, Livingston, J. H. Fisher and 8. M. Taylor. Mr, Marshall Lefferts was re-elected President. PANAMA KAILROAD MERTING, Ata meeting of the Panama Railroad Company yes- terday Mr. Philo ©, Calhoun, President of the Fourth National Bank, was elected @ director in place of Mr. Emmett, resigned. A remnlae quarterly dividend of tbree per cent was declared payable on the 15th prox. The books close on the first of October. It is under- stood that such economical reforms have been intro- duced on this road that the earnings have been in- creased about twenty per cent within the past year. If Mr. Park should get control of Pacific Mail and carry his retrenchment projects into that corporation the {u- ture would undoubtediy be more bright, THE BOARD OF TRADE. SUPERINTENDENT BANGS, OF THE POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT, ON FAST TRAINS—CARL SCHURZ DECLINES TO SPEAK IN NEW YORK. ‘A meeting of the Board of Trade was held yesterday, Frederick A. Potts presiding, for the purpose of con- sidering the question of more fast trains between this city and the West. The sub-committee appointed to report upon the necessity of the change of the law affecting tne trans- mission of publications and small parcels through the mails, reported that, in a conferente with the Post- master of this city, he stated that the change in the law was not with the concurrence of the Postmaster General and his subordinates, The report states that the law is in the interest of the express companies and so very oppressive to publishers and dealers in books, newspa- pers, &c., that some sample houses had been compelled to abandon business. The committee recommended that an effort to have the law changed to the old rates be made before the meeting of Congress. PAST TRAINS. Mr. Bangs, Superintendent of the fast postal trains, by invitation addressed the Board, The trains from New “York to the West in the afternoon, he said, wero very important, They make faster time than the morning trains. When the fast trains over the New York Central and Pennsylvania roads were started he was in favor of starting in the afternoon; but they found they would reach all the leading cities in the night, when every- body was asleep, Another reason in favor of starting im the morning was that connecting lines usually started in the morning and only ran one train per day. The government despatch mails regularly on the afternoon trains, and when the fast trains of next morning over- take them the mails are picked up and carried forward. No mails are left over. The government cannot start additional fast trains unless the trains are offered them, as there is no appropriation to buy time. He hoped tho time would come when the department would be able to get more fast trains, The 4:15 afternoon train of the Pennsylvania road that carries the mail is one of the fastest in the world and the fastest in this country, running to Cincinnati in | twenty-three hours, Louisville in twenty-six hours, Memphis at six next night and Nashville before sun- down. The trains on the New York Central, if starting in the afternoon, would, like those of the Pennsyivania road, reach all the leading cities of the West at night, If the trains left in the evening, the New England mail could not be taken where now special bags are made up in all the leading cities East to catch these trains. The government paid the companies no more than if they ran slow trains; it is the enterprise of the com- panies who have selfish motives, perhaps, in making this offer. The expenditure of a little money would buy a great deal of epeed in this country, aud he hoped the time would come when it would be done, ‘Two million dollars, in his opinign, would buy very fast trains on all the maln lines of railways, The suggestions of Mr. Bangs were referred to the Committee on Postal ice for a resport. CARL SCHURZ DECLINES. In answer to an invitation to speak on hard money qbefore the Board Carl Schurz answers :— Sr. Lovts, Sept. 23, 1875. My Duan Sir—Last night I received your despatch in- forming me that the Board of Trade of New York desire me to speak before them on the financial question on the 11th 12th and 13th October. Ineed not say to you that I foel i ‘coming from such accepted were I sure Tam going to Obio to in a series of meetings on the same I return to St. Louis to attend to some of my urgent private business, and Ido not tee my way clear to be Iu New York before the 14th. But the greatest difficulty is this: my occupation in the meantime will absorb me so completely that it will be almost impos- sible for me to find time for the preparation of an add: worthy of the occasion. I was spoken to on the same matter was at New York @ week ago; the purpose then med to be to have a series of meetings tabe alternatel: addressed by advocates of inflation and of resumption. If Nore to address the last of these meetings 1 would probabl . be my office to gam ys the wi del and I coul scarcely do that without having hud so and oppor- tunity atleast to study the arguments produced by the speakers before me. Ifear that both time and opportunity will be wanting. Permit me to venture upon s suggestion. You will scarcely find an abler and better informed advocate of resumption in the W rhaps in the whole count han Colonel William nor, of this city. as it side of the qu ow. ne oletely fs his tingers*ends, and if you her in my placo or somebody else, I fam sure he would give signal satisfaction to the friends’ of hard money. Letters will reach bim at present care of A. J. | Wikoff, Chairman Republican State Committee, Columbus, | Ohio, sind if you should desire further to communicate with me, please address, for the next two weeks, care of Mr. I sted, editor Commercial, Cincinnati, Obio, and after October 3, St. Louis, Mo. Lremain, &c., ©. SCHURZ. The committee yesterday telegraphed Mr. Schurz, asking him to name any day in October convenient to him tor bis visit, BONDS OF HOUSTON, TEXAS. A meeting of the bundholders of the city of Houston, Texas, assembled yesterday afternoon at the office of Mr. J. ©. Chew, financial agent of the city of souston, No. 20 Broadway. They organized by the appointment of the Hon. Augustus Frank, of Warsaw, N. Y., as chair- man, After along session and much discussion, the financial agent offering on the part of the city asix per cent bond and the bondholders contending for an eight per cent bond, in a spirit of compromise the following resolutions were read and unanimously adopted :— That the holders of the bonda of the city of Houston, Texas, in convention assembied, after full and iree discussion with the financial agent of the city of Houston the roposition of said city in regard to refunding and consolidat- debt, do hereby propose to accept the bonds of said the rate of seven per cent per annum in lieu of bonds id by them, it being the distinet understanding that new issue of bonds shall be made by the action of the city anthorities of Houston and the Legislature of ‘the State of Texns ag will fully guarantee an assessment and collection of a tax sufficient to meet and pay such interest and princi pal as it becomes due. ‘at w committee of three be appointed by the chairman of this meeting to confer with the financial agent of Houston as to the carrying out of the details of the above resolution. The committee appointed were:—Albert H. Nicolay, Jobn J, Van Nostrand and R, H. Arkenburgh, PANAMA RAILROAD MEETING. Yesterday the regular meeting of the Panama Rail- road company took place in Nagsan street, at the oMfice of the Company. A statement of the condition of the affairs of the corporation was read by tho secretary, and the Jast minutes were approved. It appears, not- withstanding the Colombian war, that the affairs of tho Panama company have been highly prosperous; their earnings have been twenty per cent in excess of any year since they have been in existence. The exact figures will be given to the press and public in a fow days. Mr. Emmett having sent in his resignation—on account of other eases business—it was acceptd, and Mr. Philo ©, Calhoun, President of the Fourth National Bank, was chosen in his place. A regular quarterly dividend of three per cent was declared pay. October, REAL ESTATE SALES. Some fifteen sales were announced yesterday at the Real Estate Exchange, mostly foreclosure saica.

The citizens appointed by the Mayor, at the request of the Board of Aldermen, to represent the interests of the city before the State Board of Equalization, have protested against the adoption of the recominendation | of the Board of State Assessors by the State Board of Equalization, for the following reasons :— Because the city will be unfairly burdened. Because, by unjust discrimination, the payment per capita toward the State tax by citizens has increased from $3 99 in 1866 to $11 03. in 1875, while outside of the city the increase has only been from $1 39 in 1866 to $2 48 in 1875, Pi Because there is evidence that New York city assess- ments for 1874 were upon a ratio of not less than 85 per cent, while adjoining towns were assessed at the rate of 35 1-3 per cent, Because the apportionment ignores the fact that in twenty-one years New York valuations have increased more than 195 per cent. Because the apportionment recommended 1s basea upon the table in the report of the State Assessors for 1574, upon which $8,012,386 of State tax was allotted to the city, and $7,715,096 to the rest of the State, Upon the basis determined by the ratios declared by the local assessors thera should have been allotted to the city of New York $6,757,010 and to the rest of the State $8,969,572, thus unjustly imposing upon the city of New York $1,254,476 in excess of an equitable share of the State tax last year, Because it 18 proposed to admit, for the first time, the valuation of personal property’as an element in the apportionment, assessments on that class of property in several counties having been allowed to decline from ten to fifty per cent during the past twenty-one years, while in the city they have increased frou $98,000,000 in 1852 to $272, 000,000 in 1874. Because any data upon which a computation of tho relative ratios of the assessments upon personal pro erty may be attempted are worthless, as for examplo where the aggregate assessment pon ersonal prop- erty tna wealthy county is less than the par value of the bank capital in that county, Because its adoption would give additional color to the allegation that the representation of a county in the Board of Stato Assessors has resulted in & material advantage to that county in the apportionment of the State tax. Thus, in the county of Cayuga the assessment upon real estate declined $546,844 from 1853 to 1873, in the face of an increase of population and wealth, while ten other Tural counties, pot more favorably ‘situated, had im- posed upon therm additional burdens of from $500,000 to $5,000,000 cach in assessment. In the county of Kings the reduction advised was 14 per ceut, while tor the city of New York it was only 2 9-10 per cent, Because no government where taxation is unequal and inequitable can retain the affection and confidence or even the respect of the people. THE TEA TRADE, To rue Epiror or THE HERALD:— Your article headed ‘Stagnation in Tea’? is calculated to mislead some of your readers and do injustice to the’ large number of respectable and solvent merchants— importers, jobbers and grocers—who deal in tea, While it is true that the movement in teas from first to second hands for August and thus far in September has been less than for the corresponding period last year, yet it is certain that the quantity of teas taken for distribu- tion from importers from the Ist of January last to date, or about eight months, differs but little from the distribution for the same time in 1874, as will appear from the following figures compiled from the monthly tables furnished by the ‘Importers’ and Grocers’ Board of Trade,” of this city; — Pounds, Stock in first hands January 1, 1974......... 9,648,041 ‘Add receipts January 1 to August 31.. 34,750,489 Leaving in first hands September 1, 1874, Stock in first hands January 1, 1875... ‘Add receipts January 1 to August 31, 1975 Total. +++ 40,044,407 Sales by 92,401,771 ie P gust 31, 1875... Leaving in first hands September 1, 1875.... 13,642,636 ‘The tea jobbers and grocers buy from the importers invoices of teas to supply the local and out of town de- mand, and as shrewd business men would not be likely to do so if the country demand was limited to “a pack- age or so at the time” or if the farmers had ‘dispensed with tea’? and their families bad instead substituted “pgttermilk,”? Recently one of the leading and wealthy importing houses (Messrs, A. A. Low & Brothers) offered at auc- tion, through Messrs. J. H. Draper & Co,, about 6,500 packages of teas, and in about one hour nearly 6,000 packages found buyers at better prices than generally expected and fully up to current rates at private sale. This at once illustrates the condition of the trade and disposes of the statement of the ill-informed ‘one package” and “buttermilk” broker, who misled your reporter. This “broker” was perhaps himself a ‘‘bu- colic youth,”’ and, if so, should take the advice of the' late Jamented Horace Greeley and ‘go West.’’ The sellers of teas pay the brokers for their services, and it there be any among these who misrepresent the condi- tion of the trade, and give currency to statements in- furious to the commercial standing of tea importers or ‘dealers, it is an ungracious return to those who supply such brokers with the means of purchasing their bread and butter. “The decline in the bulk of trade from that of last year” is not “serious,” as may be seen from the statistics furnished. Neither is “the season almost over,” nor half “over,” though the demand is not equal to the expectations formed earlier, and 18 limited rather to actual than anticipated wants. The tea business is, like most other branches of trade, ‘sluggish,’ but is now conducted by legitimate dealers with unugual prudence, and, as a rule, in the leading cities is narrowed down to cash basis, Though the importers of teas for some years have been josing money their orders for the cur- Tent season are understood to be restricted as to quan- tity and “limited” as to cost in the producing markets; though the jobbers may be making buat small profits, and though a great shrinkage has taken place in the value of teas, as of most other commedi- ties, yet there is no doubt that, as a whole, the tea merchants are sound, and that there is no more likeli- hood that “several warehouses will go under,”’ or that ‘“ghaky firms are procrastinating the inevitable,” than in any other branch of business. The duty on teas able on the 15th prox, The books close on the lst of | should be reimposed. Its repeal from motives of un- wise political expediency was the beginning that led to the disasters that have overtaken many of those who have been engaged in it, the producers in China and Japan and retailers in the home markets only being benefited. ge. Y: SALE OF BROOKLYN BONDS. Sealed proposals for the purchase of seven per cent tax certificates were received by Comptroller Powell yesterday, The tax certificates wore :—$100,000, paya- ble fn one year; $100,000, payable in two years; $100,000, payable in three rs. The proposals amounted in the aggregate to $3,122,000.

CONVICTED COMMISSIONERS. Argument will be made to-day before the Court of Appeals in thé case of the Brooklyn ex-Commissioners of Charities, Messrs, Wills, Powell and Ferguson, who were tried and convicted in July, 1874, of malfeasance in office, before the extraordinary term of the Supreme Court, Judge Daniels presiding. The Commissioners, who were sentenced to pay a tine of $250 each, subse- quently appeaied to the General Term of the Supreme Court to set aside the verdict on the ground of the un- constitutionaity of the-Court. The General Term of the Supreme Court reversed the judgment, Then General Tracy, who #8 counsel for the appellants and plaintiffs, made @ demand ‘upon the County Treasurer for the restoration of the ‘amount of the fine paid the Court, and also for tho salary due to the expiration of the term of office for which they had been elected. Tho Treasurer refused to pay the money as there was no fund applicable for any such purpose at hia disposal. To-day argument will be made at the Court of final resort by the prose- outing officer of Kings county on appeal from tho decision of the General Term of the Supreme Court. Considerable interest is manifested in the result of the caso. ACCIDENTS.

SOUTH LONG ISLAND MINISTERS IN COUNCIL— PECUNIARY ASSISTANCE FOR A STRUGGLING CHURCH. The fall session of the South Classis of Long Istand of the Reformed Church in America, was held yester. day in the Reformed Dutch Church, of New Brooklyn, LL atthe morning session two ministers were re- ceived from other Classis, and arrangements were | made for the installation of the Rev.

Strong, the retiring moder- ator, having been prohibited by his physician from preaching, procured Rev.
