THE congregation Of the Evangelical Lulh-
eran church, Of this place, was pleasantly
surprised few Sabbath mornings ago to find
upon their pulpit very elegant cushion, the
gift Of the. Episcopal congregation. The
cushion is one of the most elegant we have
ever seen, being Of purple silk-velvet,
trimmed with gold cord and fringe. At the
time of the organization Of the Episcopal
Congregation they had no place Of worship,
and we're rendered the use of the Lutheran
Church, where they worshipped stately for
several months until they were provided with
their present place of worship. It was in
acknowledgement of the courtesy thus ex-
tended to them, that this token Of their ap-
probation of the act was prepared and pre-
sented. 1t always gives ss pleasure to record
such evidences of reciprocal good feeling be-
tween the various Christian denominati ons,
as they are the outward demonstrations of
that charity and benevolence, which should
always exist between them. May the kindly
spirit eyinced in these friendly acts long con
tnue to exist between the churches of this
community.
PITTsBURGH AND CoNNELLsvItLE RAILROAD
CAsE.-This case was set for trial in the Cir
cult Court of the United States on Monday
last, but by some means the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company have succeeded in having
it continued until the December term. The
court once refused an application to this effect
but upon a new application granted it. We
had hoped, says the Cumberland Cirilian,
that this matter would be finally decided at
this term of the court, but we are doomed to
disappointment. We must now look to the
Supreme Court of the State of Pennsylvania,
at present in session at Harrisburg. The case
of the people of Baltimore city and the State
of Maryland against the people of Penusylya-
nia-that is the Pittsburgh and Connellsville
VS.. the Pennsylvania Railroad-will come be-
fore the court on Tuesday next, the 14th inst.
If decided in favor ofthe Pittsburgh and Con-
nellsville Road the DECISIONS final; ifagainst
the Pittsburgh and Counellsville Road, an ap-
peal may be taken. Inasmuch as the courts
of Pennsylvania have already three times
given decisions favorably to this road, we
may reasonably anticipate another Of like
character, and thus have our interests in this
very important work secured.
STREET IMPROVEMENTS The iowa Coun-
Gil has gone to work in earnest and is doing
what should have been done twenty years ago.
They deserve all praise for their infexible
determination to make property holders i'm
prove their side walks In this connection
we would ask whether there is any thing to. be
done for Juliana Street? 1t is high time it
was macadamized and the cutters opened.
In Winter and Spring 1t is covered with six,
eight OF ten inches Of mud and in the Summer
aud Fall with the same depth of dust. All
the travel to the Springs passes over this
Street and tbs no more than proper, in jus
tice to the visitors as well as to the persons
owning property on it, that it should be put
in as good condition as Pitt Street, 1t is
hoped that the Council win not long neglect
this important Street and have it improved
before Spring Season commences.
