DEDICATION OF THE HYDE PARK VII
7aa LACE BOWLING ALLEY. 7" 90"

7"" LACE BOWLING ALLEY. 81 7" n"l
Undoubtedly many of the present in
habitants of the town and village Of Hyde.
Park, remember distinctly the circum-
stance of the dedication of the Hyde
Park village Bowling Alley; with a ser
mon delivered by Rev. G. H. Lovejoy.
Some time during the summer of 1874,
when the Rev. Mr. L., was the stationed
preacher of this little village, Mr.. Par
ker was engaged in building Bowling
Alley adjoining the Dutton Hotel, upon
which the services of Mr.. Ira Allen of
this town were employed. as architect .ar
AT this time, Hyde Park village was
in her infancy. She could not boast
of her towering church spires; for she
had none. But about this time. the re-
ligious and moral people of Hyde Park,
resolved to investigate the subject of
building a church. and meetings were
called for that purpose, and the matter
was cussed" and discussed. The church
sentiment became so strong that subscrip-
tions were raised, plans drafted. sites sur
veyed etc, for church. The effort
proved unsuccessful and no church was
erected The preacher had spoken of the
Bowling Alley, in reproachful terms,
in church and out of church, and it was
pretty generally known that he did not
favor the idea Of sustaining in this COM
munity an institution Of that character.
One day having occasion to see Mr..
Allen, he went to the Bowling Alley and
found him at work upon finishing off
the interior. There were many by-stand-
ers loaing about the alley. After ad-
dressing Mr.. A. upon the missionof his
visit, he, casting his eye about the room,
made this remark, IF the people of
Hyde Park were as anxious to build a
church, as they are to build Bowling
Alley, we should have. one." One Of
the bystanders said to him in sneering
manner. "Come and preach here"
Very we'll" says the preacher, +" that
will gladly do, if you fellows that are
to practice here, will come and hear me. "
Some few days subsequent to this. the
preacher CHANGED to meet Mr.. Parker, who
accosted him thus, " How is it? / under
sand sir, that you are going to dedicate
my bowling alley, is it 500" "If you
wish me to- will sir.p Responded the
preacher. 45 Whereupon Mr., p, named a
certain Saturday, at ! o'clock, P. NJ, as
the day and hour, when the ceremony
shonld take place, and invited the preach
6 er to preside. +, Which invitation Mr.. L.
d. accepted. And on the following Sabbath
O. Gt being the one previous to the said Sat
urday) a notice of the dedication, was
= given out from the pulpits Of Hyde Park,
Morristown, Elmore, Wolcott, and all the
i. adjoining towns. ~
Z AT the, appointed time, the hotel, the
alley, the stables and the streets, were
completely filled with people. And in
the language Of the preacher, IAN i'm

gether on that occasion, composed Of
all grades and classes of society even the
rqg-shegs bob-tails, and r40-scg6s of the
entire community were there Men that

were present The rowdies of the place
had threatened to tar and feather Mr.. L..
and ride him out of town on rail, should
he attempt to preach in that place and
so fearful were some of the church off
cials that there would be general row,
that they would not, or dare not go to
the dedication; but sought shelter in the
store, during the exercises. -,
When the appointed hour for the meet
ing drew near, Mr.. L. addressed Mr.. Par
ker, telling him that he desired that he
should remain in the alley during service,
to see that the thing was conducted pro-
perly. Which favor Mr.. P. reluctantly
granted. At the precise minute Mr.. L.
mounted his box, and called the meeting
to order; and after disposing with the
preliminary exercises, commenced with
the following text. ,.
Rejoice o young man in thy youth
and let thy heart cheer the in the days
of thy youth, and walk in the ways Of
thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes
but know thou, that for all these,
God will bring thee into judgment" Ecs.
ll-9.1 From which he preached for a
whole hour at the top of his voice. The
gentle zephyrs waited the sound and spirit
of his words, to the ear of the remotest
listener; even the hill tops resounded
with the echo Of his sonorous words
And SO ably, powerfully, and eloqucntly
did he picture before the mind of that
vast audience, the folly and baneful in.

quenting and participating in the many
games, and vices usually practiced at
such places, and SO beautifully did he
portray to them, the profound enjoyment
the true happiness and ultimate glory
of a truly devoted Christian life; thai
truly penitent tears trickled down the
cheeks of many a sin-sick one In fac
scarcely dry eye could be seen at thu
close of the sermon. So powerful was
its effect upon the mind of Mr.. Parker
that he cried like a child, and as thu
preacher came down from the stand h'
met him, and thanked him kindly, anc
parted on the most frindly terms. The
rowdies too, were as quiet as lambs
Not a noise was heard, no one offered hin
the least violence, or insulting word
A most profound silence prevailed in IL,
streets as well as in the building during
the entire hour. Not even the yelp O
a dog disturbed the quietude of that vas
assembly. And as the preacher passet
out through the throng of people, he re
ceived the applause of the multitude
and was congratulated on all hands a
the "bravest of the brave" His sermon
is said even at the present day to hav
been the most powerful and affective ont
ever preached in Hyde Park. But wheth
er' it had any thing in particular to d'
with the success of tie bowling alley

A sIRnihcnnt Incident.


In his last lecture before the Ladies' Aid
Society, in this city, DR.. Fletcher related an
incident of his imprisonment at Richmond,
which is not only interesting in ITSELF but
wonderfully significant of the subdued, but
strongly vital, Union feeling in the capital of
the Rebel CoDfederacy. AT the time of its
occurrence, he was released on his parole, to
take charge Of the prison hospital, and was
taken by the rebel general in command to
board at his headquarters. Here he heard
part, and at the prison saw another part, Of
the incident which we allude to. Two pris-
oners made their way past the guards one
day, by some stratagem, and were not de-
tected till they had got considerable dis
tsnce away. But as soon as they were dis
covered they were pursued, and being
cremped by long confinement, were rapidly
overtaken. Seeing that they would be
| caught, they dashed into the nearest house,
. large and respectable-looking residence,
probably intending to run out into the street
in the rear, and thus gain a little ad-
vantage over their pursuers. The guard
ran up to the door, and were met by
the lady of the house, Of whom they de-
mauded the two fugitives. She said they
were not in the house. They asked leave
| TO come in and search. She refused it.
They persisted, and so did she. They
| went off to head. quarters for authority to
break into the house and arrest the lady.
General Winder, the commsndsnt of the
post, hesitated, and finally concluded "it
would not be best in the condition of feeling
then existing in the city to venture on 80 ir
ritRting step" This decision implies
very considerable respect for very danger
Gus feeling in the city, and it confirms to thu
full all that has been reported of the Unior
sentiment existing there. AT least, 80 it wa
construed by the officer of the baffled guard
At dinner that day he was talking of thu
affair in an excited manner, and said he "be
lieved that if Union srmy should ente
Richmond then 10000 Union flags woult
he displayed in an hour" YES" said
brother { ficer at the table, sand it is just @
in every commercial city of the South" Thi
incident is significant, and 1t is true.-IndI

FLAX Cotton aud FLAX wool,

Many persons seem to be rather skeptical
in regard to the success of Ak cotton, or
rather, as to whether it has really been ac-
complished, and many are ready to cry out
"humbug" without taking pains to inquire
into its merits and the facts in regard to it.
We have undoubted assurance that Messrs.
Hall Il Farrar, of Jamaica Plains, New
York, have a manufsctory in full blast for
the purpose of converting the fore of fax
into cotton and wool, by new process re
Gently invented, and that they are making
about q tun per day, for which there is q
steady and Increasing demand and when
mixed with wool, is said to make superior
article over that of cotton mixture The
fiber wears better and the color is more per-
manent. They also manufacture of this mas
terial, prints, cloths, fiannels, stockings,
satinets, cassmeres, blankets, &c.
The fax cotton can be produced at from
eight to ten cents per pound, which is cheaper
than King Cotton himself, and will pay the
farmer literally for raising it, aside flom the
seed.
In many parts of the country, farmers cul.
tivate flax for the seed only, which pays
fully ss we'll, and in many instances better
| than cOrn--less trouble and more certain
market. A meeting was recently held al
Lockport, N. Y, for the purpose of organ
izipg a company for the manufacture Of tlal
cotton, and to convert 1t into cloths. Ex
| Governor Hunt and Hon. S. B. Ruggle
were present and took part in this meeting
| 1t will thus be seen that fax cotton, suC
the manufacture of cloth from the material
is a fixed fact, and that King Cotton is in
| fair prospect of being faxed out.

The Methodist makes the following timely
remark on the late report of the House Com
mittee in relation TO the great number Of
disloyaI persons in the employment of the
Government:
We do not assume that the charges
brought by the House Committee can all be
sustained; but there is enough in the report,
resting upon apparently reliable testimony,
to make an earnest patriotic heart sick.
Should the public service continue to be in-
tested with disaffected personsi should the
work of the Government continue to be
hipdered, its plans betrayed, and its dignity
insulted by men who enjoy its confidence
and are paid out of its Treasury, there will
be an outbursting OF popular wrath which
will leave ineffaceable marks on those against
whom it is turned. From henceforth the
responsibility for this wrong will be traas-
feried to the heads of Departments, the
Commander in. Chief, and the President.
The people will know, and must know, why
traitors or disaffected persons are continued
for single day in positions of trust, profit
or honor.
