The Louisiana Convention have refused to submit the Montgomery Constitution to a vote of the people. The secession dem agogues dare not yield to the people the privilege accorded to the populations of Parma, Toscany, Modena and Naples, of Toting on their future form of government. the foreign missions. The Hon. Charles Francis Adams, of Massachusetts, has received tie appoint ment of Minister Plenipotentiary to the Court of St James. AH things considered, we do not think a better nomination could have been made. Mr. Adams is a man of profound learning and abiHty, and be car ries to the court to which he is accredited & name which has long been honored and respected in Europe. The Hon. Wm. L. Dayton, of New Jer sey, receives the French mission—a just and suitable tribute to the Republican can didate for the Yice-Presldency in 1856. The Sardinian mission has been assigned to tbe Hon. Geo. P. Marsh of Vermont While we accord a hearty acknowledment of Mr. Marsh's ability and accomplishments, we had hoped that tins mission would be ten dered to Mr. Carl Schurz of Wisconsin. The fact that Mr. Schurz wasbom in a for eign land, as we are informed, had nothing to do with the question of his claims to the Turin mission, one way or another. His political relations or antagonism to an European Court, with which Sardinia is endeavoring to cultivate friendly feelings, may have had something to do with it. The organs of the nro-slavciy Democracy, which never gave a first class mission to a foreign bom citizen-since the Revolution, have already raised a howl about “Hnow- Nothingism” in Mr. Schurz’s case. Of course they feel a vast deal of sympathy for him. But before the Chicago Times weeps its sad bosom empty over the elo quent and gifted citizen of Wisconsin, will it not favor us with the name of the par ticular German who has ever been appoint ed to a first class mission, or any other kind of mission, by a Democratic Presi dent ? We should like to see the name of the person in print THE AHENDHENTS VOTED DOWN. The Amendments* to the City Charter were yesterday voted down by a large ma jority. The Germans voted in the nega tive almost in a body. The Irish were divid ed and not half the natives attendedtlie polls. The vote cast was light,and the voters were indifferent as to the result Not one in ten had read the Amendments or understood them. A majority of the voters were op posed to the annexation of Bridgeport to the city limits. This prejudiced their minds against the Charter, and without examin ing the other sections or reflecting on the benefits to be derived from their adoption, they voted against them all, in order, as they said, to keep Bridgeport out of the city, which is regarded by many persons as a sort of “Five Points,” and not a desi rable class of population to d>e incorpora ted in the city. Some were infiuenccd to oppose the amendments by tbe demagogical cry about taxing rolling mills, soap factories and slaughter-houses to death. In shorty the vote seemed to turn on the question of an nexation, and all the other sections were lost sight of. When men get a prejudice in their minds, it is almost impossible .to* 'reason with‘them. The eyes are closed and the ears are shut to facts or arguments. By voting down the Amendments in a lump, the citizens have deprived them selves of many useful and important addi tions to th»ar Charter. And as they be come better informed as to what they have lost, they will regret their votes. It is a very common thing in this world, for peo ple to repent at leisure what they have done in haste. VOTED DOWN. Editors Chicago Tribune: The ticket “against tbe amendments’? having been elected to-day, wLU you please Inform me whether It Is the Police Commission which has been voted down, or the Board of Public Works, 9c the plan for funding the city debt, or the new Charter itself? In my ward the successful ticket was voted by different persons on all of these grounds, and I desire to know jnst where we stand on the various propositions here enumerated. Ansver. Neither the Police Commissioner, nor the Board-of Public Works, nor the plan for funding the floating debt of the city, nor the new charter has been affected in theleast degree by the vote cast yesterday. Those issues were not in the controversy at all The principal things voted down were: Ist the proposition to multiply the wards of the city in such a manner asto en able ns to hold elections hereafter for State and county officers under the new election law, without fighting or lying; and 2d, the proposition to bring two or three hundred Irish Democrats, residing in Bridgeport, into the city, to help us choose Mayors, Aldermen and other municipal officers. The former was a wise and much needed measure, and the latter a very unwise and needless one. The former was defeated by the Chicago Democrat, and the latter kind ly killed by the Chicago Times.

Let all feel on equal responsibility and come to this pleasant work with willing hearts and living, thinking heads—prepared to teach —and to be taught. Every friend of education is earnestly in vited to be present; and it is rightfully ex pected that every teacher in the county—un less positively prevented —will be present to contribute to the interest of the occasion. It .is respectfully urged upon directors that they afford their teachers every possible facility to attend this Institute.

The Chicago Times of yesterday, (the very last day of grace), came out against the amendments to the city charter, re marking that whenever public journals are observed to delay taking sides on ques tions of local interest till the very last mo ment, it is evident that they have been “waiting to be greased” This we suppose is Virginian for u bribed.” The pub lic vrill commend the candor of the con fession, but it would add much to the gen "efal obligation if the Times would tell how much it got. . IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS. The Difficulty between Got. Houston and the Convention. The Texas Convention adopted an ordinance instructing the Delegates from that State to the Montgomery Convention to apply for its admission to the Southern Confederacy. A correspondent of the HoustonYehgrqpA writes; Mr, Robertson of Washington introduced a resolution to appoint s committee of five to wait on the Governor and ask his co-operation as the Executive of the State with the Conven tion. The introdnetion of the resolution caused great excitement. The foliowing enb stitute, offered by Mr. Montgomery of Wash ington, was adopted. Besotted, That a committee of five be appointed hy the President to wait on his Excellency the Governor and inform him that the Convention has re-assembled—that the ordinance of Secession has been ratified by the people, and that ihe State of Texas Is and has been, from the 2d of this enrrent month, a free, sovereign and independent State. That there was plenty of work for finch - a committee will be seen from the following bold and determined letter, in which the gov ernor refuses to recognize the Convention: Executive Department, I Austin, Texas, March 6,3601. f Gentlemen: In reply to your communication of che sth, 1 can say, when the Legislature authorized the Convention to submit the proposition to the people of Texas, upon the subject of secession from the Federal Government of the United States, it was understood that th&performance of that act, when done, would terminate the existence of the Convention. The Executive approved the some, with a protest against the shortness of the time allowed, owing to the great limits of onr State. By a subsequent act of the Legislature it was re quired that the returns of the votes should he made at the office of the Secretary of State, and counted in the presence 'of the Governor and At torney-General. The votes were counted, and the result declared, by proclamation, that a majority of the votes cast was for secession. By an act of the Legislature,'the Convention was empowered only to submit the . question of secession to the vote of the people. The Convention performed the functions assigned it by-the Legislature, and and in the opinion of the Executive, its powers were then' exhausted. The Executive will re commend to the Legislature, which is to re assemble on the 18tn inst., to take into con sideration Ahe important issues arising ont of the severance of onr connection with the United States, with such recommendations avd suggestions as he may think proper in the dis charge of this duty. It will then be within the province of the Legislature to taka such action on the subject as they msy think proper; and also to call a Convention directly from the people, who will fairly represent their wishes and opinions, and who will have authority to make .such changes in the Constitution of the .State as her present and future relations to the world at large may reqnirc. Until then. It will be the duty oiihe Executive, as well as all the State officers, to continue in the lawful discharge of their functions, confining their action to the sphere of Texas only. The Executive tenders his respect to the gentle men of the Convention, and assures you, gentle men, individually, of ids esteem. Very truly your obedient servant, Sam Houston. The effect of the above epistle was not at all tranqaiiizing. Oh the Bth, the Convention adopted a resolution, asserting that it had not only the power to pass and submit the ordi nance of secession, but also the right on be half of the people' of Texas, to do whatever is incidental to the said ordinance and the de fense of tbe State, and that, as soon as possi ble, it would consummate the union of Texas. with the Southern Confederacy. - A letter of the Bth, to the Galveston Civilian, says: Gov. Houston’s communication to the Con vention yesterday, produced much feeling In the Convention. Mr. Wiley favored the passing by of the matter in contemptuous silence, and to in struct the Committee on Constitution to pre pare immediately an ordinance requiring all State and county officers to take the oatn of alicgience to support the new Government and carry out in good faith the ordinances of the Convention. It is thought this course will be pursued to day. It is thought by many that the Gover nor has commissioned seveial officers under the militia law, with a view of ralslntmen for the purpose of resisting ths action of the Contention in his behalf. He opposes to the death, the confederation of Texas with the other Southern States, and favors Texas setting us for herself. The vote on secession stands: For secession, it, 12,173. Majority for aeccs- Tho report of the San Antonio Commission ers show that the value of the property seized at that point, formerly belonging to the U. 8., amounts to $1,750,000. Tonus Men’s Association.* Tbe attendance at the rooms of the Associa tion last evening on the occasion of the nomi nation of the opposition ticket, was much larger and more animated than that of Satur day evening. Several resolutions were offered and quite a spirited debate sprung up on one, makings platform for the party, which was finally voted down. Another resolution in structing the officers to remove the library and reading rooms from the present location to the fourth story of McCormick’s building, which the author intimated were more com modious, pleasant and cheap. From present appearances the contest bids fair to be a lively one, as the two parties have succeeded in put ting at the heads of their tickets two very popular men. ' Quite a number, however, who -were disap pointed in tbe ticket (given below) have re quested us to -announce a meeting at the rooms this evening for the purpose of nomi nating a third and independent ticket.

Lost.—A frnchaiu belonglng’to the steamer Enterprise was lost at thy fire night before last. The finder is requested to leave it at the Chief Engineer’s office at the Court House, or at the engine house on Slate street Cajyal Boat Sdkk.—The canal boat William Clark, Whitney, captain and owner,- sunk on .Friday morning near the railroad bridge In Peoria, owing to striking a sunken barge. She was loaded with 5,000 bushels of com, shipped at Havana, and, belonging to George Teal, of Chicago, and insured' here. She was one of nine boats on their way np the river in tow of the steamer Jennie Deans.' LabcEkies. —The patron saint of thieves has three votaries in trouble since yesterday, Tho mas Donley, Janies Talbot and John Shields for stealing iron, and Jacob Shuey, one of the runaways from the Reform School, who was arrested while in the act of stealing a vest from Mendelson’s clothing store, No. 253 Clark street. They are all “in store,” if not indeed “ to arrive ” at Joliet in due time. Knickerbocker for April, Beadle’s Dime Novel No. 19, all the pictorials for this week, and a fresh supply of the “Little Blue Book” which contains a complete list, with salaries, of all offices in the gift of. President Lincoln, are among the latest arrivals at the Book and Periodical Depot of John R. Waish, comer of Madison street and Custom House Place. Driving.—Yesterday forenoon a lady alighted from one of the State street cars witha young child in her arms, and was knock ed down by an express^wagon which was being rapidly driven in an opposite direction. For tunately neither was injured, but the lady was somewhat bruised by being thrown violently upon the pavement. The fruit rested with the driver of the wagon who deserves to he made to suffer for the same. TJksworth’s Minstrels.— The second con cert of this original band of minstrels at Me tropolitan Hall, last evening, was a bumper in every respect. The boose was a bumper of a bouse and the performances were all. received with bumpers of applause. The ball for to night is an excellent one—an entire change— introducing several novelties. “Ten min utes at the Academy of Music” Is worth' the price of admission in itself,and the. entire programme is studded with gems. ■Winter Again.— Winter, in lately retiring, •evidently left something behind, -and has re turned to get it. Certainly he was in town yesterday. Ice froze an inch or more'thick in the river, snow went scurrying about, and lay in light wreaths at street comers, and alto gether it was such a warning as premature fruit buds must have saken note oC Tester day was severely cold for the season, but to wards evening moderated considerably. • Incorrect.—lt has been incorrectly stated by some of our cotemporaries that Frederick Mcars of this city, has been appointed and confirmed Lieutenant of Marines. This is not the case, ondis based on a misapprehension of the late despatch that Julius Mears had receiv ed such appointment. The latter is a son of one of the instructors at the Naval School in Annaoolis, and has been promoted from the rank of Second Lieutenant. We shall be more than willing, however, to chronicle something of the kind for the first named. Lieut. Ellsworth.— The New Tort Herald which started the half mirthful, half mali cious, but entirely Mae report that E. E. Ells worth of this city, of Zouave fame, was being pushed in high quarters for the appointment of Chief Clerk of the War Department, pro fesses great satisfaction that the lesser Instead of the greater appointment was made, while In fact the result is .precisely the highest sought by the young officer, or his friends in his behalf The service will possess in him the pretty well advanced material for the finest; drill officer, of his age in the army. Accidekt from Burning Fluid.— On Sat urday evening a Mrs. Case, residing on South Canal street mar the Burlington Railroad crossing, was very severely burned by an ac cident arising from the use of burning fluid. She had filled a lamp in the dark, and went to strike a match upon the side of the can which unfortunately was open, and on explosion at onco took place, the flames communicating to her dress. She wrapped a quilt about l* r closely, partially smothering the fire rfhicb with aid from neighbors extinguished, was but notuntil her injuries were such as will require weeks for her recovery. Illinois and La Bell* France.— From in structions lately received from the Depart ment, we learn tb*c the Chicago Post Office has been constituted an office of exchange with Paris, Calais and Havre, France, via the Portland steamers. This arrangement will be received with pleasure by French residents here and In the vicinity, as all letters received at the Chicago Post Office for the places named will hereafter go direct to their destination, in scaled bags. Mail matter intended for the provinces East of those points will also receive the benefit of the new order soon to-go into effect. , . Good News.—We understand that the li brary of the Young Men’s Association has this week received a valuable. addition of books, procured under the auspices of the present board of management, to embrace complete London editions of the .Quarterly and Black wood’s magazine, library of old English au thors and many rare works and fine editions, making in all about three hundred volumes. This is ft step in the right direction, and we hope the incoming Executive Committee will pursue a similar course with the retiring board. In the addition of a superior class of literature to the books now in the possession of the So ciety. Creditforthis should be given to the ex-: cellent chairman of the Library Committee,. M. W. Fuller, Esq., whose untiring exertions in this department manyof the improvements ore owing. . - New Churches.— The First Unitarian So ciety, worshipping on Washington street, have in contemplation the erection of a new cbnreh edifice. One of the plans In discussion is suggested and allowed by their ample and very deep lot, now occupied by their present building. This lot is 80 hy 190 in depth and will give them in front a fine business block, with a broad archway through the same to a church in the rear, not greatly unlike the front and approach to Bryan HalL The Plymouth Congregational Society, wor shipping on the corner of Edina place'and.

Tlie election passed off very quietly yester day. The fall returns presented elsewhere,show that scarcely more than a one-half vote of the city was polled, with the result, nevertheless, of, consigning to a qmiet grave, marked with a monumental majority, the twenty-five amend ments to the City Charter, submitted to a vote, of the people. In every respect, it was one of the most marked elections in our municipal history. Never before have party lines been more completely Ignored; never have purely local and “sectional” questions had a fuller and more glorified run. As the figures will indicate negatively, there was an abundant lack of interest. Men of all parties and previous predile lions, stayed away from the polls, uncaring how the thing went, and men of all varieties of precedents went to the polls and worked without precedent, each as his own interests and preferences dictated. One great feature of weakness in the. cause of the Charter amendments, was the general lack of familiarity with their merits, joined to on even more general lack of sympathy with the mode of their preparation and presenta tion. • . .. So there were divers funny scenes, and odd fellowships at the polls. Old staunch Repub licans stood side by sido and peddled votes against the charter with stout Milesians from Bridgeport, and Squatter Democrats found themselves arrayed against each other pro and con. The Bridgeport voters were out in force, and didgoodserviceagainstannczationperhapß in fear of the loss of mileage and fees at future occasions of being imported out of their own precinct to exercise their gentle functions at our city polls. Back of these personal and individual reasons, if such existed, lay the op position of the manufacturing and packing interest, to he annexed at aIL The division of the larger wards into two, and some of them three election districts, kept down the numbers in attendance at the polls, and everylhlngwas as orderly and quiet as. at a town meeting In the rural districts. The only exception was in the upper district of the Seventh Ward, where, about half-past six o’clock, p. m., the spirit of harmony got too largely, mixed with amorc tangible And tang* ling fluid. As the result, a party of Germans in a drinking saloon first beat in discussion and then vl et ami*, a peddler of votes' on the annexation question. The Police interfered and one of them was resisted and lost his dab. A reinforcement of officers turned the scale against the belligerents who fled, and thus ended the afialr, leaving for it such a sequel as may result from the search for the parties re sponsible for the afialr. * The result of the election was the earliest aspect of matters abo** city yesterday. As it now stands, ai*ortionof the new charter is in force by of the act, while twenty-five of its sermons are squelched. It is a present and prospective state of onr municipal afloirs, v*ich will give very little satisfaction to avfbody, unless it be the legal ; fraternity, wj*> have a right to look forward to an abuzHffiut: harvest from litigations based on evei7 variety of proceeding too numerous and complex to allow any present schedule. She forthcoming election on the third Mon- - day of April will give us our next year’s Board of city officers, and yet we imagine that many votes were actually cast bn both sides of the question on the absurd idea that defeat or vie- ' tory carried with it the matter of. holding over for another year, perhaps some that 'sub scribed for the few poor rockets sent up last evening aud the poorer whiskey sent down, were of this mind and deemed this a cause for Joy. Altogethermattersareinaveryconsider able of a muddle. Chicago Christian Union* . An important movement has been, recently inaugurated in our community aider the above name. Several meeting* bavebeenbeld during the last few weeks, which have been open to all persons, and to which delegates were solicited from all sects and parties. After the fullest and freest discussion, in which it waa conceded that such a movement was greatly needed, it was decided to organize & society under the name of the Chicago Christian. Union, and subsequently a Commit* tee on Organization made a report, of which the following Is an abstract: One of the most hopeful indications of our day is the erident disposition among good men to forget the points on which they dimer, and keep in mind those on which they agree. Inasmuch”as this is the case, yonr Commit tee would suggest thafsome one useful Chris tian work, simple in its plan, and of admitted practicability, bo selected as an initiatory work, in which all Christians cooperate. To successfully inaugurate such a movement they would recommend the Chicago Christian Union, the object of which shall be the diffu sion of religions knowledge, and the promo tion of gooa-wiU among men. .. This society shall be composed of all persons who sympathize with its avowed object who shall nave been recommended for membership' by some member of the society and gb*fi hav» paid into the treasury the sum of one dollar as an subscription. Hie officers of the Society shall consist of a President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasur er, and seven Councillors, who together shall constitute a Board of Directors or Executive Committee. The duties of the first named officers shall be such as usually devolve upon those holding such places. The duty of the Executive Committee shall be the general supervision of the operations of the society, proposing from time to time such work ns may he presented of an appro* prlate character. It shall also be the duty to make annual reports of their' doings to the Society, t. : v There are three features about this more* ment that especially comm end themselves totho. public esteem. In the first place, it proposes to act on the right basis. Persons areassod otedtodo Christian work, without regard to sectarian lines. There is, therefore, a fine lesson of charity and “good win amongmen,” on the very plan of the organization.' No body is shut out; affbr both sexes are invited -to help. This is certainly as It should be. Next tiie organization proposes id do good where good is most needed.

About nine o’clock yesterday morning resi dent* In the Sbuth Division in tbe vicinity of Old street, were.startled, by tbe sound of a tre mendous which by lookers on tv as seen to proceed, from tbe large frame building known as tbe Michigan Steam Flouring Mill of Mcßsrs.- ; Hffwkins & Chapmen, on State near tbe comer of Old street, the boiler of •which had burst with terrificviolenc. - A small brickadditionto the Mills, containing the eh gine,.,waa shattered to fragments,- and the •bricki hurled inevery direction. Huge scraps of the boiler, ipmnants of the'cnglne, bent and twisted the flues and rolls of the tin rooflngwarped up like-a scroll were thrown .to & great distance.: Many of the small build ings in the vicinity were covered with the fly ing debris andiuore or less shaken. Every attested the fearful force.of the explosion. . The bunding itself Is one of two structures of similorsiaa, the “Johnston Buildings,” removed to their present site n year or two since,, from,ttib Union Car Works, several blocks west, of where they now stand. The Flouring Mill-lain the rear of-Fenno & Co.’s planing Mill aid.was shattered to pieces at its western-side, Otherwise, escaped material injury. The eastern side of the Plshing.Mlll was also badly ‘-tenured. ’ The buildings were owned by Joseph Johnston, Esq., and the en tire damage will mount to about $1,500. Viewing the jeene of the, catastrophe yes* I terday, it Wemm impossible that it could have : occuired without a great loss of life, and yet ! no person’-to • r, The'engineen James Collins, who was tend ing his englheit the time, was buried up in the rulna, but was taken out unhurt.. An em ployee in the pining mill, at work at a lathe, escaped;, injury] although the lathe itself wag brokentopieca. GeorgeS.andJ.lLßowen, well known Lale street merchants, were pass ing down Statastreet, some thirty rods from the mm, whenthe explosion occurred, and. were completed enveloped in the steam, dust and flying fragments of iron and timbers. A long, heavy flm fell directly behind them, crushing their buggy and missing them only by a few inches Other persons had'equally miraculous escaes. Shortly after jthe accident, a fire broke out in the ruins, bulit was promptly extinguished. The cause of thj explosion is'not stated, if in deed it is known It was certainly a miracu- j lons escape, fran something far worse than j the loss of $3,00, which will cover the entire damage. | Hooluy anb Campbell’s Minstrels— Opening Niobt , Tins Evening.— This world, famous troupe ire already established favor ites here, qnd heir return to our concert boards will be i died with enthusiasm, especi ally In that they bring with them fi ceh attrac tions and a str* ig array of the finest talent. The following fi 5m the Buffalo Commercial Is to the point, an true every word of it.

Its buiesque features were nearly all original, and miuced a supernatural shaking of sides on the prt of the audience. Merri ment,—aye, Iot« and hearty laughter,—filled the hall unceasingly, except when the funny course of the jjaterlainment was. interiuded by tbe singingfof such beautiful songs and ballads as omf the Inimitable quartette— Campbelle, BeeFßs, Griffin and Melville—can sing as they shqild be sung. While the sweet symphyay of tlitse rolls from their Jlps, thrill ing the audience into silent sympathy, the cork on the fac4* of the singers seems a eacri ligioas mockery, and we .wish it were away. But when the nch and royatcring cadences of “Die” and simi'ar choruses, break forth—then the negro visages, and the reckless negro an tics are in pDcel . “Dixie” was sung last even ing as we never heard it giving before, and aroused an cnthuslatic responses from the crowded assemblages We leam that tbe band wfli be sgals'luS&iulo.

McCagg, liaiurary Members andothfrs : The mierionto the poor, supported mainly hy the members of die Protestant Episcopal Church, bag t»«en carried on during the Inst quarter with Incased efficiency in helping the poor to help taemselves. and causing: sorrowinir, suffering hu manity to lift up its head and take hope for the fu ture, and straggle on with the' ills of life, and sav ing some from despair and death. It has also, it Is believed, nude many new friend*, who believe this system of charity has a claim upon their be nevolence, as economic and worthy of encourage ment. ' Through snch agencies the poor of Chicago can never become panperized to chronic cases, living year after year npon the bounty of the char itably disposed. ■ The design of doing good to the bodies and seals of tmr fellow men embraces a Sunday-School and Free Chapel for worship. • For these purposes, a lease has been had of the Scandinavian Church, corner of Indiana and Franklin streets, North Side, for a term of years. There, have beeu gathered nearly one hundred children; with fourteen teach- , era. Divine service ia performed twice cm Sun days, and a Bible lecture is given on Wednesday evenings by the missionary, who Is Superintend ent of tbs Sunday School. JnsC before Christmas the church was divided into two stories, at a expense of about $250, giv ing a comfortable chapel up stairs for worship, and allowing of three rooms for works of charity be low. A large space is devoted to a lodging room for wayfaring men, as a temporary shelter. The design of It is to furnish a sapper and: lodging for tickets to he sold at one shil ing each—eight tick eta, sl. .Charitable persons cm be sure that these 1 tickets will not go for Improper use, as their money often .does in saloons when given to applicants for aid. Here meet also the Ladles* Industrial School, or ganized last winter, where girls arc taught to sew and make garments for themselves. Three or more ladies from the following churches attend regularly, and take port in this benevolent work; St. James I .—Mrs. P. Anderson (President), Sir®. Van Baron, Mies Spencer. Miss, Terry, Mrs, All port, Miss Bostwlpk, Mies Beyuolds. St. John's.—Mrs. Buchanan, Miss Thorp, Mrs; Bncar. Grace.—Mrs. Locke, Mrs. Hinsdale, Mrs. Rich mond. Atonement—Mrs, Scott, Mrs. Lee, Mrs. Cheney. Holy Conuqanion.—Mrs. Hlgginson, Mrs, Bailer, Misses Boyd. . St. Ansgarins.—Mrs. Luff, Mrs. Wilkins,- Miss Smith.. Several hundred garments have been made up by these ladles, acd given to the worthy poor. The tableaux and festival realized the sum of $436.66, which enabled the committee to make the alterations in the church, and the missionary to distribute largely to the poor. It is believed, how ever, that many have allowed themselves (content with purchasing tickets,) to withhold- their gener ous offerings, cuppoaing thla small rtmd was all that was needed.. When It Is understood that all such public efforts call out an unusual uumer of applicants for aid, and that os many as forty-throe have been, relieved in one day. and that fnel was never sohigh as dur ing this winter, we claim for the charitv that'nn unusual amount of good fass been done, and much real misery prevented, as the following fucts will show: aUd that, while some have suffered preatlv,. there has been no case, as in other dties, of death by freezing: . , Number of loads of wood and coal 93 *• barrels of f10ur:...; :o ** pairs of shoes (new) .....44 “ • parcels of groceries.: ...539 “ - secondhand garments £S9 .'.J* • families relic vo A ofpressing want.. 455 “ . loaves of bread given out ..,.14(30 The visits from house to house have beeu daflv.

The sick have been visited and comforted, and cheered upon a dying bed. and their remains con • elgnea to the grave, with.the consoling offices of onr holy religion for Barriving relatives and friends. The continued and active sympathy of the Rectors of St. James', St- John’s, Grace, and Atonement churches, is gratefully acknowledged by the Missionary. His thanks arc always givin to those who wish the work God speed, ana his daily braver is those who help it on, may have the blessing of him that is ready to perish for their temporal reward, and find their treasure laid up there, where thieves do not breas through and steal. - ■ - Edmund B.

The Cincinnati and Chicago Railroad Com pany, the Logansport route, recently opened," have leased for a five year’s term a tract on the river between Randolph and Madison street, and will use the same for depot purposes. Upon these lots stands the substantial and spacious frame building erected' by John B. Ackley os a fuel depot, and this the Company have purchased and will adapt to theiruse.' To obtain readier access to these new grounds they are opening a private street eastward from Canal street midway the block. The Company have opened an elegant office down town in the new Sherman House block on Randolph street. The projects and plans for the Great Union Depot are beginning to be a matter of talk, and the proposed plan excites the admiration of all who have seen the same, who pronounce it at the head of the list of railroad structures. The building will be over 800 feet in length, and about 140 feet ia width,-with passenger and baggage rooms, ticket offices, and all other accommodations necessary for the immense business which will centre there. It is calcu lated that there will he room enough for eight roads to come in. A portion of the building will, be devoted to the transhipping of and other portions for. offices for the various employees. The building, if completed on this plan, will be an ornament to the city, and a great acquisition to the West side. St. Jamies.
