IHE NEW CoHoCKSINK PRESBYTERIAN
CHURcH.-No stronger evidence can be adduced
OF the growth of a community in point of popu.
aaron ana progressive civilization, than the
ocular evidence Of its places of religious wor-
snip. For in Christian communities they are
always in keeping with the advancement Of the
people; and the building of new church edifces
the enlarging and remodeling1of old ones is
proof positive of increasing congregations and
enlarged ideas as to proper places for religious
worship. 1t is with great pleasure that we notice
the constant improvements which are daily
being made in this direction in different parts Of
our city especially in the northern part are
they more general.
The congregation of the old Cohocksink Pres
Dyterlan Church (Rev 5 A. Mutcbmore, pastor),
situated on Germantown avenue, near the June.
ton OF Fitth street, by the large additions to its
membership during the last winter, was com
peIed by necessity to commence the erection of
new church edifce last August, on Columbia
avenue, facing Franklin street, one of the finest
sites ID the city. The church is built of pressed
brick, having front of Trenton bro Yn sand
stone, OF pleasing contrast ard fine appearance.
1t Is one hundred and thirteen feet In depth
sixty-hve in breadth, and the gable is at the
heightb of one hundred feet. The elevation to
the top of the spre, when completed ACCORDING
to the plan, will be two hundred and twenty
feet, making one of the highest and most inn
posing in the city. The cost of building and
material is about $4,000; the ground, $4,000;
and contingent expenses will make total sum
OF 100000, ensuring most imposing ornament
to the city. 1t will have every modern con-
venlence, and will have sitting capacity of one
thousand. The edidce, by the day and night
working of large corps of labOrers, is last
nearing completion, the roof being nearly all on.
1t is expected, If aided by favorable weather
that the lecture-room will be completed within
two months for occupation. The ladies of the
congregation are working energetically in
making preparations for a fair, which is to be
held in the new church, TO commence one week
before Christmas. Due notice will be given of
it, with all matters thereto pertaining.

were prevented from listening on Sunday night
last to the fifth discourse on the above theme,
that 1t will be presented for their benefit in our

foated back to the days of the revered Bethune,
when lie, at the same sacred desk, provided
similar Instructions. Many of the surviving
members of the original flock OF DR.. Bethune
cheerfully acknowledge a marked similarity of
style of logic and rhetoric in the dlscourses of

Cooper's Point took fire. The boat, at the time,
was lying astern of schooner oD the ways, but

water They paI TALLY succeeded in keeping the
flames down until the steamers arrived upon

damaged by the heat aud water. The total loss
is between three and tour thousand dollars,
which is fully covered by insurance. The origin
