Re-Opening Of Chester Cathedral.
RE-OPENING OF CHESTER CATHEDRAL .
After having , through a course of neglect extending over two centuries , been allowed to fall into a state of almost absolute ruin , and after having been partially closed ( for restoration ) for over eight years , the old Cathedral of Saints Werburg and Oswald , at Chester , was reopened for Divine service on Tuesday last , amid the
rejoicings of the citizens of Chester and the inhabitants of the diocese generally . The work of restoration has been of the most thorough description , comprehending both the interior and the exterior of the building . The main fabric was composed of local sandstone , of a very unendurable nature , and owing to this and defective workmanship in previous restorations ( if the patchings which have from
time to time been done are worthy of such a title ) , the whole edifice was in a state of decay , and when the restoration was commenced it was evident that without some speedy repairs a serious condition of ruin was imminent . About this time Dr . Howson had succeeded Dr . Anson in the Deanery ot Chester , and one of the first tasks which he set himself was the entire restoration
of the noble building of which he and the other members of the Chapter had the charge . When appealed to , the Ecclesiastical Commissioners contributed liberally to the proposed work , and private benefactors , headed by the present Duke of Westminster and his predecessor in the marquisate , gave largely . Sir Gilbert G . Scott was the selected architect for the
restoration , and his plans showed how thoroughly he had succeeded in obtaining a clear ' general insight into the original style and character of the building . These works have taken over eight years in execution , and have cost over £ 80 , 000 . The bulk of this has been provided by public subscription and , in addition , there have been many private gifts . The Duke of Westminster has presented a
magnificent organ screen composed of pillars of Corinthian marble ; the Freemasons of Cheshire , a carved oak pulpit of elaborate detign ; the Freemasons of Lancashire a beautiful sedilla for the choir ; and all the stalls have been provided b y tbe liberality of private persons or parishes . The architect gave . a fine brass corona or candelabrum , containing iO : lights , and weighing two tons and a half ,
The old church of St . Oswald has been thrown into the cathredral , increasing its internal accommodation , which was previously very inadequate . Prior to the opening yesterday , the Mayor of Chester entertained a number of guests at luncheon in the-Town Hall . Among the guests were the ' , Duke and Duchess of Westminster and family , Mr . and Mrs . Gladstone , the Rev .
S . Gladstone and family , the Bishops of Chester and Rochester , the canons and diocesan clergy , the magistrates , aldermen , and council of the city , and others . After the luncheon a procession marched from the Town Hall to the Cathedral , where , at three o'clock , the opening service , in which several Cathedral choirs from a distance took part , commenced . The music was splendidly
rendered , and an eloquent and practical sermon preached by the Bishop of Rochester from the words " Establish Thou thc work of our hands upon us , yea the work of our hands establish Thou it . " His lordship commented strongly on the boastfulness of the present age as to its geneiosity in the work of church building and church restoration , and
said that the money thus spent , large as it truly was , was very small compared with that spent in selfish gratification and love of appearance and show . The building was densely crowded . To-morrow ( Wednesday ) evening the Dettingen Te Deum ^ is to be performed by a choir 200 strong , and the reopening services are to be continued for nearly a fortnight , with special preachers and choirs .

HOLLOWAY ' S OINTMENT AND P ILLS . — Dangerous diseases would rot present themselves very often if timely attention wer : bebtowed nn the tirst feelings which littray a departure from health .
