' We understand the singing, which immediately followed the Bishop's remarks,. was by those not members of the Society of Friends, and was annoying to . the Bishop as ' well as to the Friends! The former desired to attend a Friends meeting, conducted in their usual man Her. . ; -. p.'- i v: . !,,-, ,i- ( We believe lb e Friends place singing as an act of public worship, on the same basis as Trailer and Preaching the Gospel that it i acceptable to God, and cdifj'ing the hearers, only as it is performed uadcr the immediate influence of the Holy- Spirit; and. as the. exercise is liable tso. niuch "abused ; by some of those who have acquired the art, and es pecially by those who arc a little vain of tho attainment, the Friends have so long . discouraged the prectice in their meetings for" worship, that it' would need an undoubted .evidence that the Lord rtquir - id the service before any of their mem, bers would be justified in interrupting , one of their meetings by singing. ,Zl D ESTR UCTIVE STORM, &c. , Destructive tornados occurred in vari- . ous parts of the country Monday night last. At Indianapolis the Central freight depot, was completely wrecked, and several persons in it at the time were more or less injured Albert McCutchen died from his' injuries on Tuesday; Rev. D. . Ballou, I'niversalist Minister, it is fear5 ed could. not survive. Houses were un-. roofed and trees blown down, in dif. ferent parts of the city..' The Cincinnati freight depot was also prostrated. The entire loss is estimated st $30,000. 'At Vincennes, the bridge across the . Wabash was blown down.houses unroofed, and a -vat t amount of damage done. ;r At Trenton, Tenn., houses were blown down one man killed and another's leg broken. The trestle work over Forked DeerJTtivery on the Mobile and Ohio road was washed away, and the upward bound train was thrown into the river; the engineer, fireman, one wood passer ' and a passenger were killed. ". At Dubuque, Iowa, houses were unroofed, torn down, and one man killed and several wounded. ' "' ;St Louis, April, 20. The damage by ' ' the hail storm of Wednesday afternoon is .variously, estimated at 820,000 to 8100,. J ; 0UU.. I be latter sum., is probably the more correct.

El'IToB I'ALLADnjM: ' ' ; ; - ' ' I see br yonr last paper that S; R. Wiggins has is- ' sued his pronunciamento ia regard to our city aflairs, . giriuo; Lis instruotiona to the people as to how they should rota oa the new wardqnestion. He evidently ' atuches great importance to kin riewa oa matters connected with the citr government, and seems to be pnrticularly exercised, at this time, ia reference to the action of the Council in submitting to the people the question of making a new waid out of a portion of the third ward: but he is either not paste I oa the subject or wilfully misrepresents the facts of the case. Two petitions were presented to the Council, asking to have the question of creating a new ward out of a portion of the territory of the 3d ward, submitted to ; the people, bnt making different boundaries.- One of these petitions came to the Council properly verified as required by the city charter, and the other did not comply with the requirements prescribed! A majori- ; ty of the committee to which the petitions were re-, ferretf, reported in favor of submitting ; the question ' of making an additional ward oa-' the petition that came to tbem in proper form and the Council adopted the report of the majority of the committee, and a rote was ordered on the proposition contained in that petion Tof dividing the 3d ward. The petition about which Wiggins is so much concerned, was withdrawn from the hands of the committee, by one of the petitioners and is now in the hands of the City Clerk, and 'not in Elder's pocket as he states. "Wiggins was the ''medium through which this petition was presented . to the Council, and if he had been as well informed as be assumes to be, he would have known that it did . not fill the requirements of the charter. If, through his ignorance or blundering, his pet project failed, he . ought, in justice, to blame only himself and the lead- . era connected with him for their stupidity.. 1 r; -In reference to the question of dividingthe 3d ward, and making two wards out of it, I have only to say that I can see no propriety, justice or good reason for doing so.,- It is population tbat is designed to be rep- , resented, in the Council, and the population of the 3d ward is not as large as that of one of the other wards, ' nor is there sufficient difference in the number' of inhabitants of any of the wards to demand a division. The population of the different wards can be properly apportioned, if such i3 not the case ' now, by . the Council changing the boundaries of the wards, so as to equalize the population in each as near as practicable It is evident, however, that , the aim of Wiggin's petition was to give the present 3d ward, in effect, four Councilmen, and thus give to that portion of the city an'nndue and controlling power in the, ' legislation of the ci'.y, and the expenditure of the public mouef in improvements, Ac, , and, at tbe' sam0 time accomplish a "partizan purpose. Creating a new ward would add"' to' 'the city expenses with no cor- ' responding benefit 'to the city generally. . These af e the "jnst purposes" that Mr. Wiggins complains that Elder; Young A Co. are attempting to thwatt. ' ' : Mr. Wiggins announces that he has discovered a a democratic cat concealed in the 3d ward meal tub, On which the Council ordered the rota for a new ward to be taken, and that be don't like the Democracy anyhow, having fallen out ' with that institution daring tho war, iDenoocrats will, no doubt feel bad ovbr this announcement, and will deeply regret that t bey. had not propitiated his favor by, agreeing with him, and by fighting, bleeding and dying in the cause of the. countrjvas he did, by dispensing the bounty funds appropriated by the city, Ai. He winds up his article by proposing "to vote on the 7th street new VaraTproject, regardless of any . legal action in the matter. Well, I know of no law or regulation to prer Vint man from making a fool of himself by voting for any proposition he may choose to put on his tick HVwould have the privilege of voting for himself as Dictator ol Richmond if he chooses to do so; but be should: recollect that the charter, which Is the fundamental law 6f tho city, points out the manner Of creating new wards, and that he is probably not sufficiently weighty to override that document. He seems. i to imagine that his great abilities are necessary . to . L keep tho machinery-. of the, city government properly .. in motion, and that bis news ana rote are of gret ter force and importance tnan we cnarter itseU. ihe government has been running pretty smoothly for the past two years without his aid, hi any official capacity, and it has been ascertained that his very valuable services can be dispensed with even'' in the' keeping and disbursing of the funds of the city, notwithstanding S'rtne persons seemed impressed with the' Idea that such thing con Id not be done.

And, Whereas; further said proposed New Ward would contain the requisite number of inhabitants, and whereas said petition did fully set forth that fact, and the same was fully known to the said Common Council,' and whereas, further, two weeks after the presentation of said first named petition, another one was presented purporting to-be signed by only thirty eight persons and whereas said last named petition proposed to form a New Ward h by dividing the 3rd Ward East " and West, makin" Vine street the dividing line. And whereas, the New Ward thus created 'would not contain more than one-half the popula tionthat the first one would; and, whereas said Common Council in the opinion of this meeting, did, without any reason for so doingi except it consists in the fact that the first proposed division of said Ward would result in the creation of a New Ward Republican in politics, and in the latter case, one of Democratic politics, report favorably on the last pe tition and expressly failed !to take any' action on the first one, thereby Repudiating the rights of petition, and saying in effect'that a minority shall rule a ma joiityi and virtually saying that the East ernpart of said 3rd Ward shall be governed by a small minority in the northern part of it, Therefore i! ''v ' J; 5 7 'Resolved, 'That In the opinion of this meeting the ' action of said "Common Council was an insult to the petitioners on said petition, arid a high-handed out. rage, and should receive the condemnation of. all high'inihded and ' honorable men. ;i i.s ... ;; v.f.'f .rr;j- " Resolved, -That as i said. - Council have refused to gie fthe voters an Opportuni ty to vote on the said 1st proposed New Ward, and ia the opinion of this' meeting for a corrupt and purely, party purpose, arid 'believing as we do that the people have an undoubted right to take the necessary.,' steps to present the matter fairly before the "voters of the city, we do hereby expressly declare that aa said Council refused to submit the matter to their detcrminationf, we will present the proposed . division of ' the 3rd ' Ward as indicated -by our petition and ask them to vote on the 'same, regardless of the action of the Common Council. ; - e ; On motion the Secretary was instructed to have the proceedings of the meeting published in the city papers.

a . vi i laianuie liOOKi We always take pleasure iu recommending a book which has alt the qualities that meet onr ideal of what a good hoot should be ; in which the subject ia one of interest ana importance, the style attractire and pleasing, and the illustrations and .detail lucid and complete, M"find such a book; jn the " People' Edition of Conybeart and Uotmon'i Life and EpUtiet of Saint Paul,"inst republished in tbi country by the NATIONAL fUBUSHLSG COMPAXY, of Cincinnati.--"" - v- ! '-. t This work has all the attractiveness of fiction, in the exciting events of its narratives, with the certainty thai they are the truthful record! of well authenticated -facts .embracing graphic and eloquent delineations of the early life, education, conversation, teach'nK8 labors, travels, sufferings,' perils, "persecn tions and miFsTotjary career of the great Apostle. . It stands '' alone and unapproachable in its speciality ; all that could be desired, in the way of history, statement, 'comment, criticism and illustration, relating to the vital subject of which it treaM. The great learning and power, and beauty of style, do not constitute its highest praise. . This is found in its moral and ; reJigious spirit, in its pre-eminent Christain catdor and impartiality, in its solemn , earnestness for historic truth, its manly and unrascilating faith in the doctrines procl vimed by the fearless subject of its biography, all combining to make it one of the grandest monuments of sanctified intellect and learning ever reared to the honor of Sacred Truth. Sever have we seen such an array of great names, giving their unqualified commendations of a book, as we findj in the publishers circular; names of men whose self-respect and personal character and position, make them exceedingly chary how they endorse any thing that does not come up to a high standard of excellence, or that does not meet with their hearty approval. ' . j .This reprint will be more highly prized than any other, as it is the only Complbtb Edition published in this country with translated notes. It has in addition an able and exceedingly valuable

dissertation by Dr. Leonard Bacon, the eminent Pro fessor of Theology in Yale College, preparing the reader for the graphic account of the life and writings of the great apostle Its pictorial illustrations, is type, paper, and binding are in keeping with the rare merits of the book. . . Globe Mutual Life Insurance Company. We have at last found, in the Globe Mutual Life Insurance Company, of New Yort, the fulfillment f our wishes so far as Life Insurance is concerned viz: An endowment policy, at the cheapest cash rate , liberal and yearly increasing diridend, by whUhas age increases payments lessen, or amount insured , increases a complete non-foi feiture an enterprising, experienced and reliablo administration; and above all, a security as perfect as any thing human can be. .j liar ins: found all these, we have taken, though at the "eleventh tour," a policy in this popular Company. Its progress and features commend it to every one desiring insurance, starting in 1864, with a capital of $100,000 the Company has carried its solid cash assets, Jan. 1869, to $1,641,907,55 ; being an increase of nearly half a million over the assets of last year. It has insured $19,360,641, taking during the last year $10,552,524. It has directed the payment of dividends for the current year amounting to 134,000. Everything desirable in Life Insurance may be secured in this Company, having the Mutual and Stock rates. ... SEXATOIt SUMNER OX OUR ALABAMA CLAIMS. ' The great document on the subject of our claims upon Great Britain is the speech delivered in the Senate, on the 13th, by Senator Sumner, against the ratification of the Johnson-Clarendon treaty. X. . It is shown that the treaty has trilled away our rights. It proposes to submit the claims of . American citizens to a joint .commission thai is to choose an arbitrator, and in case they cannot agree an arbitrator is to be chosen by 'lot. : Mr. Sumner , justly charges this 'lottery' commission as a painful levity in reference to the most solemn questions that ever rose between nations- . t . , He shows also that it was believed the British holders of Confederate boada would have their claims recognized by the Commission as an offset to our claims, and so soon .as the treaty was signed those bonds rose from 0(10 per cent. I .Mr. Sumner justly concludes that the loyal people of this country are not in favor of a treaty under which money advanced to aid the rebellion by English capitalists , shall be paid by the United States. I . . :! . - . Mr. Sumner then clearly establishes our right to an acknowledgment by Great Britain of the wrong of recognizing the Confederacy as belligerent on "the f high seas, and also onr right to pecuniary damages to at least $100,000,000. According to international law there may be belligerency on the land and not on the sea. ' ; ' .-.v '.-.- ,' " A land belligerent must get a foothold on the sea, have a port of his own, "hips of his own, and be prepared for sea warfare before being, entitled to recognition as a naval power, and entitled to rights in neutral ports. The rebels had not a port, not a ship, not a gun, not a man on tha sea at the tiruj England recognized tbem nor indeed until English capitalists fiitted them out with the Alabama. ' This made that ship, to i all intents and purposes, either an English man-of-war or a pirate. The British Government was duly advUeJ of the destination of the Alabama, and yet suffered five days to elapse before sending an order to stop her. It was just too lata. She sailed for a Scotch port, followed by. an English cruiser from which she was supplied with men and munitions, an! where she lay thirty -six hours. She was attended throughout her career by English cruisers, and at last, when she went down' under the guns of the Kearsarge, a British ship, like a good angel, was hovering near to snatch the reliel pirate from a watery grave. " ' , ;1 " ' England made most indecent ' haste in recognizing the Southern Confederacy. Her proclamation to that effect was made within one month, to a day, of the firing ou Fort Sumpter, and also the d.y before the arrival of our Minister who, they knew, would arrive within a day or two ! , . ,t Mr. Sumner proves England to have been outrageously wrong in this recognition, snd therefore is responsible for all the consequences. She must acknowledge that wrong. She must also pay the damages.-. . .. rr i i i . ., . . . . ; db aiHor snows xne ci.inji.r-e to our ehmDintr alone to have been $110,000,000, besides the loss of f what we might have made in commerce had it not been for the Anglo-rebel pirates. Our shipping has been nearly all transferred to English capitalists the capitalists that furnished pecuniary aid and sympathy to the rebellion. " , Mr. Sumner holds that England must psy us at least $100,000,000, beside making the proper acknowledgment.. To this the response of the people is amen, and it is expected that President Grant will push it to a nnar issue, uur demand must be made with the alternative of war or settlement.' We have been put ofTbv diplomatic arts for four years $ one year oar should saO the whole matter settled, according to onr own understanding of our rigbta.f Tho demand of Mr. Su OTner is the least that Great Britain should expect, and there is no necessity for further diplomacy on tbe subject except to draft and sign a treaty to that eflect-JI vj ...... ..(.-., v.. :; How often do you hear the complaint from mother, and father that their son or daughter is not well ; that they have no appetite; that they, feel languid ; that their head aches ; that they are growing thin and feeble, and that they have no life or energy left. , .That they are lowspirited, and. perfectly incapaciated to participate in any pleasures, or perform any, mental or physical duty.
