REPour OF THE GRAND JURY.-The
Grand Inquest in and for the county OF
Union, respectfully beg leave to report
that they have examined the County
Buildings and grounds or appurtenances
thcreunto belonging, and find the same
in good condition and repair, SO far as in-
ished The grounds, &c, have been fitted
up in good taste, we would now recon-
mend the putting up steps at the MAN
entrance to the building, as soon as can
conveniently be done, and the funds oi
the county will permit. The doors OF the
main entrance to the prison cells are ln-
sufficient, aud have been so reported by
several juries, but still are in the same
condition We again recommend the
same To the attention of the Commission
ers, for immediate repairs. The Bridge
crossing Turtle Creek, in East Buifaloe
township, is in a bad condition, and
should be repaired Immediately; also The
bridge crossing Perns Creek, near Center
vile, Limestone township, needs repair.

MIFFLINBURG, May Is, 1889.
The Central Peunsy ylvania Synod of the
Lutheran denomination, closed its confer
euce here on Monday evening Forty
five ministers and delegates were 10 atten-
dance. Not having had the pleasure of
attending the sessions, nor access to their
minutes, | can not report. Those who
may wish to know may md al account in
the next number of the Lutheran Obserrer.
The chief object in calling the synod to
this place at this time, was, l presume the
dedication of the new Lutheran house of
worship. This is large and beautiful
brick structure, built on the most eleva-
ted site in Market, the handsomest street
in town. Its walls are frescoed in oil
coors, and altogether it is finished and
furnished as magniticently as any village
church have seen.
On last Sabbath, our town was filed
with strangers who came 70 witness the
dedication. A German sermon was preach
ed on the occasion by Rev. Mr.. Zell. lie
was followed by f. r. Anspach, ID. d.,
who is gaining distinction as a minister
and writer, and is also at present editor OF
the Lutheran Observer. His sermon was
a mos. pleasing picture OF the glory OF the
church, founded upon the NLN. Psalm,
where the subject is introduced. Mr..
Anspach has rhetorical powers which we
seldom see excelled His strength seems
the power of love and persuasion. His
analogies, drawn from the affections aud
sacred relations of life, are given with
pathos almost irresistible. 1t was au-
nouuced that debt of S2500 was re-
naming upon the church During the day,
the handsome sum of $500 was collected
and subscribed towards its liquidation.
DR. Anspach remarked that eighteen years
ago he was a student of our Academy,
and on account of old associations he felt
like contributing to the church. HIS
present will be bell worth about 5000.
The new German Reformed Church is
finished, but not yet dedicated, nor am l
aware that the time for its dedication has
been fixed. The congregation hold their
service in the basement.
A Concert will be given by the Milf /
finburg and Freeburg Vocalists on Sat

formed church.
Business seems to be brisk here at pres
ent. Several Of our Merchants have en-
larsed their rooms, and large stock Of
G Goods has been brought to town. Grain
