Dear S812,â€"You must not be surprised at many of my friends as well as myself feelâ€" ing aggrieved at a statement in your leadâ€" ing article of toâ€"day. No doubt it was made without design and in ignorance of facts. Yet,as, week by woek, in your columns, when the religious services of bunday in this city are enum°rated, the announceâ€" ment is repeated, that at St. Alban‘s church ALL SBATS ARE FRIEB AXD CHAPPROPRIAtED, it seems not a little strange for the Editor to write this sentence :â€"* There is not a cAhurch in Ottawa that one can enter without an introâ€" duction by the beadlie to some owner of a pew" / I think, sir, after this grave misâ€"stateâ€" ment, (doubtless unintentional,) you owe it to the gentlemen who form my church= building committee, to my congregation, and myself, to permit my making the correction principle, like many others equally scriptura), being altogether a novelty to the Christians in this city, and being myselt quite as stren= uous and uncompromising an advocates of it as you can possibly be, I lost a large amount of support that otherwise I should have reâ€" ceived towurds building a church. Had I consedted to the sale of pews and their perâ€" manent appropriation I should have had little difficulty in obtaining the required funds from a number of the Ottawa ‘citisens, who, to this meoment, have not contributed a poniy. But hoiding this system in utter ab borrence, as opposed to the fundamental principles of Christ s Gospel, and sustained by a very few good friends, members of the Civil Service, I collected funds sufficient to warrant our starting the erection of a Free Church.. At every step we met with difficulty ls.‘owodfloa. An enormous price was for a site, for which we had to pay $2,300, although every one kaows what a benefit to the neighbouring property is the existence of a handsome church. The site that was secured, by its nature obliged us to undertake a very large, inâ€" stead of a small building. At present St. Aiban‘s contains a great scAoo! room, as well as the naveof a large church, which, when completed, will seat five hundred comâ€" fortably.

THEK NEW COURT HOUSE AND NEW CITY HALL IN OTTAWA. ,~__ From the Ottawa Currier. s A new Court House .will be at once ornaâ€" mental and useful. _ The Palace of Justice cannot long be dispensed; with. Public conâ€" venience requires a great hall in which to hear and determine upon all manner of things. _ Judges, flurig, jurors, clerks, bailifts, constables, a tobaccoâ€"chewing mu!â€" titude, prisoners, prosecutors, plaintiffa dcfemiuu, Accusers, and â€" witnesees must be sheltered from the rain and sun, the snow and thoon, while justice is being méted out. For a building capable of housing so many differâ€" ent styles of ‘people, an airy and centrally situated locality should be selected. _ The peculiar, nasty, semiâ€"fetid, half tobaceo smoke, _ whiskeyâ€"beery, gaol fever atmosphere of & court room so different from the atmosphere ot a church requires superipr ventilating capaâ€" | bilities, and a peculiar airiness of locality.: Huddling up a great body of people, as heretofore, tor hours together in the near neighborbood of a pentâ€"up prison house,is not desirable, and is particularly killing in its effect upon Judges, and such of the barrisâ€" ters as know the uses of the bath and fleshâ€" brush, and at home luxuriate in carpeted, pleasantly ecented, and fresh aired apartâ€" ments. There is only one place which is known to us, as affording room for a cenirally situated new Court House, and that is the site of the present conglomeration ‘of _ wood _ and _ plaster and _ brick used _ as a â€" City Hali, â€" for .Corâ€" porstion offices, as & police station and as a casual place of refuge for the destiâ€" tute, the loose, idie, and disorderly, and as a smoking room for the policemen off duty. This hall might be taken: off to the outskirts of the city, and converted into a market house, leaving the site free for a new Court House. _A new City Hall. could then be built in connection with the present Wellingâ€" ton street market. There, afine structure to answer the purpose of a public meeting hall, corporation offices, City Council chamber, and butchers‘ stalls in the lower flat, could be erected at comparatively little cost, The rents of the butchers‘ shops in this locality would be more than the interest of the whole coet of such a building, and the city would obtain at very little actual outlay two splenâ€" did public buildings, readily accessible, and generally convenhient. * The oil fiend is sweeping away far more victims than the cholera or the smallpor, and still people take it into their homes and play with it as if it were harmless as water. The most terrible casualty yet recorded from this source ocrurred about eight o‘clock . this forenoon, at the residence of Benjamin F. Lanterman, a machinist, No. 181 Robeyâ€"st., near Van Buren. Mrs. Lanterman was preâ€" paring breakfast over a small gasoline stove, and her two little girls, two and eight years of age, were about her. : It is probable that the beat was not sufficient, and that she at. tempted to more of the fiuid upon the storeâ€"at nn‘;age a most terrible explosion took place, /and in an .instant the mother â€" and _ her children _ ware enâ€" veloped in flames. The father, who was up stairs, heard their shrieks, ran down, and, folding his arms about his wife endeavored to extinguish the fire, but in doing so was himselfenveloped in the fiery sheet, hbis clotbing, as well as that of his wife and children, was nearly burned off, and all were actually roasted alive. The mother and the youngest child were so terrlb.l{ burned about the head and body as to be almost unrecog= nizeable, and have doubtless, ere this, been released from their agony by desath, : The father and eldest child are suffering dreadfully, but ‘it is thought will recover. § The neighbors burried in on hearing the cries of the sufferers, and rendered them all the assistance in their power, but little could be done,.

The Cincinnati CAronicle‘s New York corâ€" respondent says ;:â€"Happening in a drug store, a woman stood at the counter while the druggist weighed a portion of a dark mase for her. It was opium. Seeing our atâ€" tention attracted to it, the woman, who was evidently one of the laboring class, paid her money hastily, with " don‘t wrap it up," seized it, and hurried out of the store. In conversation with the druggist, he informed us that she was a confirmed opiumâ€"eater ; that nightly she spent twentyâ€"five conts at his store for opinum. He had at least twenty regular customers who ate opium, and all of them belonged to the middle or laboring classes ; that nineâ€"tenths of all the opinmâ€"eaters he knew were women, and oneâ€"third of them were colored women. Some old colored women were inveterate takers of laudanum, aud he cited: one who came regularly every three days and purâ€" chased a dollar‘s worth of laudanum ‘with money made by washing. Another of his customers, a white woman, drank babitually four ounces of laudanum a day. On her first coming to his store she asked for two onnm and on receiving it, greatly to his alarm, put the bottle to her mouch ‘and quaffed it at a draught.

Heath is about to vacate his seat in the Commons, and that Mr. Richard W. Scott, the present member for Ottawa, in the Local Legislature is to be his ‘successor. No doubt Mr. Bcot‘ would make a very worthy ‘sucressor to Mr. Heatb, if that gentleman, for any reason, saw fit to resign; but we don‘t think there is and likelihood of his duing so.â€"Ayimer Times.

The public printing for the Province of Quebec, during the past fiscal year, amounted to $18,820.34â€"â€"which, though an increase over last year for this branch of the public service, is still a very moderate expenditure. ‘The total is made of $17,222.40 for the Leg. islative Assembly, and $1,597.94 for the Legâ€" fslative Council. _ ‘ The contracts for tho present year have been awarded as follows : A. ‘Cote.â€"Oficial Gazette, French bills, French statutes, sessional documents and appendices (Fre: ch).

(Special despatch to the Leader.) Port Hors, Jan. 11.â€"While Mr. George Henpderson, livery stable keeper, was leading a spirited horse from Abe Grand Trunk Staâ€" tion it took fright at the noise of a locomoâ€" tive whistle. He broke loose and left for the railway track, leaped the first cattle guard and then tcok his course across the viaduct, with his tail across his back like a deer, and with the speed of & deer crossed in safety, to the utmost astonishment of all who beheld the wonderful feat. The viaduct is over a quarter of a mile long and about sixty feet high, with only a single plank for fopt pasâ€" rengers to cross on. How the horse escaped from stumbling apd being thrown over the bridge and dashed to pieces is a puzzle. After escaping the dangers of the bridge he continued down the track and leaped five cattle guards in succession, and finally left the ‘track and came home at full speed without a scratch on him. It is, perhaps, not so generally known as it should be, that while the question of public libraries is much discussed elsewbere, the Conâ€" gressional Library has been steadily augmentâ€" ed until it has become a very valuable collecâ€" tion of literature in all its branches, The reâ€" port of the Librarian, Mr.~A. R. Spofford, shows an aggregate of 185,227 volumes acâ€" cumulated up to December 1, of which 26,936 belong to the law department. These figures are exclusivecf pampblets and unbound periâ€" odicals. The increase during the past year was 11,262 volumes, including 6,180 purâ€" chased. <â€" The item of publications received under the Copyright laws of the United Btates during 1869, is interesting, as showing the rate of development, in the way of pubâ€" lishing American works. There were reâ€" ceived 1,831 copyrighted volumes of books, 1,943 pamphlets und periodicals, 2,420 pieces of music, 423 engravings and photographs, and 63 maps. That very important addition to the livrary, a printed catalogue, has at length been completed. _ Mr.: Spofford reâ€" commends that the public rmitted to use the library in the evening @i@ well as in the daytime, and further that the libraries of the Departments be consolidated with .it, both of which suggestions kave very much to recommend them. ; The International Steamship Compâ€" any, of New York, have agreed upon terms and conditions for the construction of two firstâ€"class steamships, and two more are to follow.
