Festival. The members of the Luther
an Choir of this place intend holding al
Ice Cream Festival and Lunch Supper, tt
begin on Wednesday of next week, anC
continuing several evenings thereafter
The proceeds will be applied to the pur
chase of new music books, and the bal
ance if any, to the organ fund. The pub
lie are invited to attend. 1t will be held
in Mrs Fichthorn's Store-room, West
Market street.
Working of the New Law, w,-The new tenn
perance law was put into force for the first
time we believe in this county last week,
under the provision where man taken
up for intemperance is required to tell
where he procured the liquor. His an
swer in this case implicated a tavernkeep-
er in Reedsville and one in this town, and
if the case is followed up it must result in
the forfeiture of both licenses. The pub
lie will await the action of Justice, Dis
trict Attorney and Court with some de
gree of interest, rs should the case not be
suffered to be settled or continued, as has
been the case frequently, and Il conviction
take place, it would add another forcible
example towards preventing intemper-
ate men from procuring liquor.
New Church. h.-The church-going folks of
Newton Hamilton and vicinity have
awakened II spirit of enterprise, and now
have fair prospect for erecting a new
Presbyterian church, proposals for which
will be received until September lst. 1t
is to be of brick, two stories high, and 45
by %.
The Weather.-It commenced raining
on Thursday night last and continued
with little intermission for about thirty
hours. 1t came from the east and there
fore caused but a slight rise in the Juni-
alta. On Sunday it was very warm, the
thermometer at o'clock standing 81. On
Tuesday morning We again had showers
Of rain, which, with the former have put
the ground in good order for fall blowing.

Serious damage was done to the West
Branch Canal last week by land slides
and floods, and nearly all the railroads
from New York to Virginia suffered more
or less damage. The storm was most vi
olent at Baltimore. According TO the tel
egraph it extended over a great part of
Europe at the same time.
The Directors of the Middlecreek Rail-
road, at their meeting last week, appoint
ed Col. Henry c. Eyer a Director in place
OF Thomas Beaver, resigned What is
known as the Jacks creek route was
adopted, the line being almost straight,
aud easily made, while the route through
LHlysvilIe was 100 feet longer. much
curved, and more expensive. II was the
general wish of Decatur to have the road
at the latter place, but the board, although
anxious to gratify their friends there,
deemed it unwise under the circumstan-
ces to adopt it.
The market was well supplied yesterday
morning with meats of all kinds and cx-
cetItnt vegetables raised by gardeners in /
ana near town. All that is wanting to
establish good market is a general dis (
position among our citizens to buy there. /
H. Tor the present. they pay few cents
more, they ought to bear in mind that ev-
erything is fresh, and also that competi
'oh would have tendency to cheaper
all things brought there for sale. We
might instance this in several articles
which can be bad in any quantity desired
at rs low price as the same articles sold
for by the bushel year or two ago-a fact
which demonstrates what we have often
asserted would be the case with proper
encouragement.
