BsrThe new Methodist Episcopal Church il
this village, was dedicated on Sabbath last
We were in hopes that som one connected
with the church would have furnished US, fol
publication, a statement of the interesting cere
monies on that occasion ; but in this we were
disappointed, and can, therefore, merely an
nounce the fact this week.
An eloquent and powerful sermon was preach
ed on the occasion by the Rev. Mr.. BARr1NE, Of
Harrisburg, Penn. We are pleased to learn
upwards of seccn hundred dollars was subscribed
during the day and evening to defray the
Church debt. Considering the great scarcity
Of money, in this region, we think the amount
raised was large. and speaks well for our citi
zens.
The inside of the Church presents a neat and
comfortable appearance, and we congratulate
our Methodist brethren that they have been SC
successful in this benifcent enterprise.

Railroad from Roboken to Piermont

This road, known as the Northern Railroad
of New Jersey, which was chartered several
years since. is at last, the New York Times
says, in a fair way to be constructed. The
surveys for the route have heen completed,
and the contract for building the road has
been given to Messrs. James NJ. Tower and
Bradford Seymour, of Oneida County n. Y.
Ground was broken a few days since, and a
small body of laborers are now engaged in the
work of grading. 1t is estimated that the
work will cost $3.50, 900. The road is to run
through the Hackensack valley to connect
with the Erie road at Tappan, and will be 81
miles in length. Arrangements have been
made with the Erie Railroad Company for the
use of the Bergen Tunnel. and the free use of
their track from Branches Station to the will
age Of Piermout. 1t is thought that the road
will be completed in about ten months.

The Workmen employed by the Brooklyn
Water Works Company, while engaged on
Wednesday in excayating the upper part of
Baisley's mill pond, about two miles below
Jamaica, came upon the remains of some vast
animal, which have caused no little speculation
among the citizens of that place. The bones
are Of immense size, very much decayed.
Pieces of rib bones were found, measuring
nine inches broad. -Four teeth were brought
up to Jamaica for inspection, one meausuring
II IL inches around, with roots 6 IL to I
inches long, and although partially decayed at
the roots, weighing 4 "a lbs. Our informant,
Mr. Albert Snedeker, saw one said to be the
smaslest-it vas nearly sqdare-measuring
A Ia inches BY 8 IL inches, serrated, partly
worn. 1t is hoped that this notice will induce
some scientific persons to proceed to the spot
and examine the remains. There are four or
Eve wagon loads of bones lying exposed to
the air. We believe that this is the first in
stance of the remains of a Mastodon having
been on this Island.-FIushing Journal

Latest from Washington.

Our latest advices from Washington, says
the New York Tribune of yesterday, give
promise that the nine-lived cat Lecomptor
will be killed again in the House to-day
Whether, should such be her fate, she will
stay dead any better than formerly, is doubt
full; but we do not see by what parliamentary
iuggle she can be again resuscitated. Had a
motion to lay on the table been interposed at
the earliest moment after English introduced
his continuance, it would, we think, have been
finished last week.
The debate in the Senate yesterday did
good execution on the iuggle. Mr.. Critten-
den surpassed his former efforts, and the Re-
publican Senators were most forcible. Mr..
Hunter fully admitted that Lecompton was
not to be submitted by this English project
that nothing like this was intended. The
Land proposition was alone submitted
Mr.. Green confirmed this statement After
this, no sincere advocate of Popular Sove-
reignty can vote for that continuance. We
shall probably know how many %pretenders
have sold out by tonight.
p. S.-The Tribune of to-day says, so close
will be the vote on the English Bill in the
House, (which is, expected to take place to
day, that it is impossible to predict the vote
with certainty. But unless unexpected chan
ges occur, the Bill will be defeated. Gov.
declares to-day that the English Bill
meaner aud more detestible than Lecompton
naked.

Practical HoRTlcULTuRE; or. How to cultivate
Kitchen Vegetables, Fruits, Flowers. and Orpa-
mental Trees and Shrubs. With an Exposition OF
the Nature and action of Soils and. Manures. the
Structure of Plants, and the Laws of Vegetable
Life and Growth. By the autber of " How to
Write, " How to Behave, :" etc. Fowler & WELLS,
BOB Broadway, New York. Price, in paper, 80
cents cloth, SO cents.
No one who owns or rents a square rod of ground
can afford to be without this best of all garden
manuals. 1t is an eminently popular and practical
work-so clear and simple in style, that everybody
can understand it so convenient in form and size,
that it can be carried in the pocket; and so low in
price that all can buy it; while, at the same time,
it is thorough, comprehensive. and perfectly reliable.
1t tells how to cultivate everything belonging to the
garden; how to plant trees; how to choose the best
varieties of fruits how to prune, graft, bud destroy
insects, preserve fruits and vegetables, and save
seeds and it not only tells the reader WHAT to do,
but WHY it should be done, thus giving him a new
interest in everything. The chapter on the Flower
Garden is just what the ladies are wanting. 1t will
be found worth a hundred times its cost to any one
in a single season.

More Specie.

The California steamer which arrived yes
terday added a million and a half to the thirty
four millions already in bank. This accumu-
lation of specie has not yet begun to tell on
any part Of the speculative world; but those
are g~reAtyMstakss who suppose that it will
not produce its proper consequence.
First stocks, as most easily handled, and
most recklessly dealt in, must feel the effect of
the plethora; next merchandise of all kinds.
This latter may take a year or two to start;
but the speculation will begin before then.
As soon as the ball is started, everybody
will swear they forsaw it. But it will never
theless take the bulk Of the community by sur
prise. Only the shrewd ones perceive that
this is the time to buy property Of all kinds.
