Last Evening :lod Today-The Routine Work. The Churrli ul Tto mid Its rntin n luipiirtnnt Overture or lutrrmc ti l'rt-l.rlerflisrllinl Work l Ihr Imlira' I' jsbjterinl. The Dayton Presbytery reconvened at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon with a large at tendance. The afternoon was prineiinlly occupied ill discussing a projioseil overture to the Presbyterian general assembly, with reference to the special agents being sent out by various colleges. It was the general sense of the meeting that these interfered i with the benevolent work of the church, but action iu the premise-, was ixmUioned until today. The principal part of the af ternoon was occupied iu consideration of the calls of various churches for the pas toral work of a nuiiilier of members of the presbytery, and the enactment of otlier routine business. The ready voices of Dr. Kemper, of South Charleston, who Is III. and Dr. Hughes, of Dayton, at present in Jerusalem, are sadly missed irom this sessBm. KVKVlM'rM-.ssUis. l!ev. Dr. Dicksoti, of Clifton, presided, ami read the fifty-second chapter of Isaiah, and made the opening liraycr. Kev. George (.owdy. ot Vevv Carlisle, read a very able aud deepl) interisting report on "Ministe rial Kelief." The speaker declared tills board to be one of tht foremost in the church's lienevolent work. The joung and strong man can suppleinent his salary occasionally, but the vast majorit) have small iiicoinis from which it is nest to Im possible to lay up anything tor old age. Some ministers die or lose their health in the midst of their )ears, often leaving wife and children with little or no support It would lie dangerous, were It jisslble, to so pay the minister)' that it might be sought as a means of worldly gain. This board looks after aged and infirm ministers, and the willows and children of ministers who are in need of aid. Several touching incidents were given of the good effects of this board. The report was followed, by a brief but stirring address uy Elder A. II. White, of Clifton. Mr. White was a member of the last general assembly at Minneapolis and was a meniluT of the assembly's committee on this subject Thus from his iersonal acquaintance with the working and needs of the board, he was able to add to the deep interest already aw akened by the re port of Mr. Gowdy. After some splendid singing, led by the choir, the subject of foreign missions was presented In a splendid report on the sub ject, read by Kev. Mr. Ncsbit of Oxford, i . 1 be report cov cred w ell the w hole field of this grand cause and held the large audi ence to the very closest attention. Tlie retsirt was follow ed by a good, con vincing address by Kev. Mr. Carson, of Piqita. The presbytery then adjourned till y a. m. Tlmr-day morning. Till llsKX M(ltMMtssOV. ,Tbe presbytery conv ened at 0 o'clock this iThutxlay) morning and devoted half an hour to .devotional exercises, including an earnest pra) er and a few telling remarks on the sinter)!)" of the Christian prayer by Dr. Deuniss, of Dayton. The doctor spoke in an Interesting vein of the Mohammedan's supplication and its Pharisaical character impression which be had formed from personal observations abroad. It was decided to hold the nest session at Hamilton. A Jail from the church of Xenia for Kev. T. C. Ely was presented, and the call placed iu Mr. Ely's hands, accepted by him and arrangements made for his installation on May 10th, Dr. Fiillertoii to preach the ser mon. The following overture to the general aseembly was unanimously passed and U significant especially to Presbyterians: "in view of the fact that the board of aid for colleges and academies has authorized agents to canvass the churches for aid for special objects, tlie presoytery ot Dayton respefiifully overtures the general assembly to instruct the sev eral hoards of the church to refrain in the future from giving a cer tificate of commendation to any agent to visit the churches for the purpose of col lecting funds for such special objects." Kev. Scott F. Herschey was continued for six months, the stated supply of the Middlet'jwu church. Dr. Uerchey came into the Presbyterian body from the Ger man Keformed church. The resignation of Kev. Dr. Elliott as pastor of the church of Troy occupied some time and involved some delicate questions. Dr. Elliott made an address upon the af fairs of the Troy church, and upon his re lations thereto. The difficulty seemed to be principally a financial one. But it seems also that there is incompatibility lietween tlie pastor and his flock. Dr. Elliott is quite an aged man and wears the silver hair of a veteran iu tlie cause. The town of Troy is apparently too rapid for his methods. A petition from nearly one hun dred members of his congregation against tlie acceptance of his resignation by the presbytery" as received today. Dr. Elliott's remarks were quite effecting In tlieir nature and were listened to with profound reseet and quiet The j.resby tery did not act upon the resignation, but adjourned until this afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Installation of Dr. FuIIertou as pas tor of the Second Presby terian churcli oc curs tonight, according to the programme published yesterday. The tiiilies' 1'resliyrterlal. Tlie society held its final session, com mencing at 2 o'clock. The usual devo tional exercises were followed by the re port of the corresponding secretary, which contained much to encourage, show iug an Increase iu tlie numberof missionary maga zines taken and a decided growth in the work. The treasurer's report showed collections for home missions of 31,100.27, and foreign missions S3,:sy."i..".0. an advance over last year's contribution of ?s".13. A new feature of the meeting was the 1 attendance of a number of young girls as delegates, wiucn gave an auueu interest to the work. Seven churches reported praise meetings held last w inter as follow s: First church. Springfield, Piqua. First churcli. Davton, Oxford. ew Carlisle, rourth church. Dayton. Park church. Dayton. At this point in the proceedings, a thank offer ing of SS5..V was taken up, which was di vided equally between the home and foreign missionary funds.

It must not be imagined from a perusal of tlie preponderance of matter appearing in this edition, that Springfield is wholly absorbed in the clash and clatter of ma chinery In practical commercial pursuits, and in the wild chase for money. It is the most rushiug business town In Ohio, but not to the exclusion of the arts, grades and amenities of life. Especially does Spring field appreciate and enjoy music and one no sooner mentions the word than the mind naturaly reverts to It F. Hrandom Jfc Co., the Arcade music dealers, whose mame Ls Irrefragibly associated with the advance and progress yes, the very existence of music in Springfield. It F. Hrandom & Co. have a little trait peculiarly their own merely a nominal little matter and that is. they do as much business in the sale of pianos, organs, sheet music and small mu sical instruments as all the remaining firms in Springfield combined. Iu fact, the Hraiiiloui concern has made the music busi ness what it Is In tills city. Prior to their coming, the piano trade was a synonym for hit and miss dealing, bankruptcy and financial obscurity. The? have created and elevated the trade and now stand as its recognized exponents In this city and county and indeed in central Ohio,, for their onlers are not limited to this locality. It Isn't a difficult matter to account for the prosiierity of It F. Hrandom it Co. Their store-room in the Arcade tells Its own story. There Is an air of life, push. enterprise and prosperity about the place which is unmistakable. There Is the sweet confusion of half a dozen pianos going at once, people recognize that they are wel come and they come and inspect the Instru ments either through jierformlng on them themselvesjor listetiing to tbe music exe cuted by any one of the half dozen salesmen, all of w horn are thorough musicians. Hran dom A Co. keep abreast w ith the times.and know a good thing when they see it Their stock is changing constantly. When some thing new conies out, Hrandom .t Co. are thehrsttohaveit Their sales are un- parelleletl. Tush, vigor, pluck and a sin- cere reciprocity w ith the customers Ls what is doinu tlie act for Hrandom & Co. Their tuning department is under the aker. which Is a sufficient guarantee. Ho not suppose, however, that you can leave your order and have it immediately attend ed to, for the orders are received in such large numbers that it Is Impossible to give them immediate response. If your instru ments needs attention, leav e your order at once so that you may not be disappointed if a few days elapse before yours is reached. AID THE SUFFERINC. HI.
