Fcclesiastieal Discussion.
The subject of Hell and cter
mil punishment continues to exer
cise priests and preachers through
out the country, and especially
in our State metropolis. I veil
lure, with diffidence on mi </eure
a subject, and only to submit lo
your reader- the various opinions
presented.
Fli* Roman Catholic Church
holds, with some of the Protest
ants, ioa material hell, w here tin*
extremely wicked burn in a lake
of tire and brimstone forever.
< Mher Protestants believe there
i< no siidi 11/, hi; hut that heaven
and hell art* state# of being that
when we die we cease to he ma
terial that we are raised a spir
itual hodv, and that nothing ma
terial can further touch our im
material ami immortal nature.
\Ve can have no possible eon
eeption of hell or heaven except
through revelation, ami it is from
this that we must learn not only
the truth of a future state of a
spiritual world hut it- character
both with reference to it- ldiss or
misery, as well us to its duration.
Aml here the Protestants meet
the 1 niversalisl-, unanswerably,
i* saying that the same terms
forever eternal everlasting
are applied to both heaven and
hell, and that both tini-i Ik* <0 or
neither. We are glad the subject
is up fwrdisctission. untranimeled
by the tiat of the Roman Pontitl’.
It may lead tin* Christian world
to a rational and harmoniou
view of 11n* subject.

‘man. Mrs. Wiiterman was born
on 1 lie 14th February, 17‘.>2. in
Ait gust a, < hi. She was Ihe daugh
ter of (Lesley Postwick. Her
mother was Mr-. Susannah Cobb,
an aunt of (Jov. <'idl>, and sister
of the late (iov. Cobb's father.
In her deal It. Ihe community Inis
lost one of its brightest and pur
cst ornaments, for in kindness,
tenderness and was every
thing that a christian could possi
bly he—to the poor, a friend ; to
her family, lovenml kindness ; to
1 the church, of which she was a
member for some sixty years, a
shining light. Ti nt h. charity and
unselfishness were the distin
giiishing traits of her character.
Industry, energy and neatness in
all things, marked her whole life,
even to her very last.
(Jov. Hubbard's Ultimatum.
A dispatch Inn- been received
at Washington from Houston,
; Texas, which says (iov. Hubbard
lias written a three column letter
to President Hayes on border af
fairs. ||e goes into tlie details of
; the causes of the Mexican raids,
and gives a history ol the same
from the last fweiitx years, indu
ding ('orl ina's capture of Brown
villein 1859. The governor's .pe
• cilic charges are :
!. It has been a depletory war.
2. That custom house oHieers
have been murdered, custom lion
ses (.alien and robbed, post offices
robbed and burned, hundreds of
citizens killed and some tortured.
W in. McMahon, for instance, had
his legs cut oil" and was forced to
walk on the stumps; Murdock
was chained, a lurrow placed on
him and he was burned while in
his (vwn house, within live miles
of ('orpus Christie ; women have
been made prisoners and sub.jec
ted to treatment too horrible to
meiit ion.
Millions of dollars worth of
property have been taken from
Texas owners and carried into
Mexico and sold in public mar
kd-.
f. Mexico has furnished an asy
Inin for tin* robbers and a place
of deposit lor their stolen goods.
5. The Mexican
has been notified many times by
ours of I lie existence of tin* evils,
hut she has not restrained her
oil izeiis, and she refuses to permit
the United States to break up the
hostile hands which commit the
atrocities, and has declared an at
tempt to do so a cause for war.
(!. She has refused to execute
tin* extradition treaty by not siir
rendering raiders who were them
selves enemies of mankind by the
breaking jail of Star county, re
leasing prisoners therefrom, and
mortally wounding our peace of
fleers, and turning loose fugitives
under indictment for murder in
Texas, and regularly demanded
by our commissioner of extradi
t ion.
7. She Inis afforded an asylum
to Indians, and permitted them
to list* her territory to sot on foot
expeditious to invade the United
States, and to wage savage war
fare upon the people of Texas, in
eluding within its scope every age
and sex. Children have been cap
lured in Texas and carried into
Mexico and held as -laves.
(iov. Hubbard asserts that Tex
a< does not want war, hut simply
protect ion IromMexieau violence.
He charge-that the San Elizario
nmh who -hot Howard. Mcßride
and Atkinson to death, was com
posed largely of Mexican citizens.
He says Mexico should make a

from Tokoi. Japan, that the
Japane-e court convened at Na

the captured rebels concerned in
the late SatstiMia revolt, closed it

that 8-v, 168 pci-mis were tried,
and that of these 205 were acquit

rank as sword hearers. 1.798 were
condemned to imprisonment with

11 1 mski.k. —A singular ease of sui
cide occurred at Wheeling, West
Virginia, on the Ith inst. Henry
Daub, a well known citizen of
that place, who was once very
weal) by, shot himself t hrough t lit*
heart, lit* had been married twice
and had quarrelled with his sec
ond w ile, who turned him out of
the house, and is -aid to have
commenced leading a dissolute
life. Late in the afternoon, he
showed a revolver to a friend and
said he intended to kill himself
on his first wife's grave. A- he
could not he found the next igor
ning, the friend went out to Ihe
ee met cry, and thereupon his lirst
wife's grave, covered with a foot
of snow, his hodv was found, and
beside it lay the revolver with
which Ik* had shot himself. This
is the third suicide among the
(iermuMs in Wheeling wit hill the
last three weeks.
The Farmers Alia me.
The following arc among the
objects of anew organization in
New York :
First That every species of
property should hear its just and
equal burden of taxation.
Second—That the insurance
law of the Slate should he so a
liionded that the fanners can se
cure themselves against 10-s hv
lire at the actual cost of such
protection, by forming companies
for mutual insurance.
Third—That the fanners of the
State of New York should no
longer lie taxed to carry the
grain of the west to the seaboard ;
and to this end tin* railroad com
panies of the State shall not dis
criminate against local freight,
and that they shall he prohibited
by law from charging more on
freight for short distance- than
for long distances.
Fourth—That a State Board of
Agriculture -liouhl he appointed,
recognized and maintained as a
department ol'the State (invent
mont.
Fifth—That a- the common
district school i- the only means
of edueal ion to a large majority
of those living in rural districts,
we demand that the common
schools of the State* shall he j
maintained fra to all. and that
they he placed forever beyond
partisan or sectarian control by
the organic law of the State.

Terrible Catastrophe.
flie most terrible and shock
ingly fatal accident that wv have
ever been called upon to chron
icle. occurred in thi- city last
Wednesday, the 2nd in-t. At
!>:45 in the morning of that day,
the entire city wa- suddenly
shaken as by an earthquake. —
The buildings trembled on their
foundations; there was a loud,
quick report, a- though light
ning had struck in a thousand
places at once; windows were
smashed, coaling fell, and glass,
sash, plaster, etc*., were hurled
in all directions; horses took
fright and ran ; women and chil
dren rushed screaming into the
streets; and men stood rooted
to their places, unable to compre
hend what had happened, it
was soon realized that a terrible
explosion had occurred, but none
except those in its immediate vi
cinity. knew what had taken
place. To the west of the city
a thick cloud of smoke was seen
to rise, and thither rushed an
anxious and excited crowd. It
soon become known what had
happened. About half a mile
west of the depot, on the At.
N. W. railroad a freight car was
being loaded with nitro glycer
ine, and the dreadful shock was
caused by its explosion. Some
forty-eight hundred pounds of
this powerful compound had
been hauled there and placed on
the ground along side the track,
during the morning. This was
being loaded into a ear, prepara
tory to its shipment to the Re
public mine, wh“ii in some un
accountable manner it exploded,
dealing death and destruction to
everything within its reach. The
shock was terrible, hevoud imag
ination, and the result horrible
to behold. Everything within
its reach was completely deuiol
i.-hed blown fairly to atom* -and
seven men met an instant and
horrible death at its hands.
The scene at the wreck was
frightful and sickening. The
railroad track for about (iffy feet,
was torn from it- bed, the rails
twisted, broken and hurled a
way, and a hole twenty five feel
in diameter and live feet deep,
gouged out, and the earth tjirown
for rods around in every direc
tion. Of the car on w hich the
nitro glycerine was being loaded,
not the slightest trace was visi
ble. The locomotive and tender
w hich stood behind the car, was
thrown hack over one hundred
feet, a most complete and total
w reck. W heels, tines, cab, tubes,
bell, and everything about it was
wrenched, twisted and torn asun
der, as though monstrous and
destructive demons had vented
their rage upon it. Long lines
of ore ears, standing upon a side
track near by, were stove in and
demolished, and shreds and scraps
of iron, wood, tin, etc., covered
the snow in all directions. But
the saddest and most, lamentable
part of all, was the horrible late
of seven unfortunate men who
were engaged in shipping the
treacherous freight. Lying on
the bottom of the cab were four
of them, the engineer. Jireman
and two brakemen, mangled and
burned beyond recognition, with
their heads hanging over the
edge, a sight to horrify the stout
est heart. The head was com
pletely torn from the body of one
of these poor fellows, and noth
ing but a few pieces of shattered
skull and brain adhered to the
trunk. Ol’the other three men
who wore engaged in handling
the cans nothing could he seen,
hut after diligent search a few
fragments of chared tlesli and
hones were picked up and put to
gether. making a ghastly sight.
Nothing more than enough frag
ments to till an ordinary bucket
was found altogether of what
but a few moments ago were
three stalwart men.— Marptettc

La-t years wheat crop is esti
mated at 500,000,000 bushels—
surely an enormous crop, and if
no ill betide, the next crop will
he larger still. It is said that the
crop last year is the largest ever
raised in the United States. It
is probable that a surplus of 115,-
