our readers must know is within echo

But the whole affair was a complete
water-haul, and the empty benches
echoed back his hoWlings as the valley
does at Echodale. But ne could not

vent to the indignant feelings he has

screech-owl Of freedom, little Johnny,
whose 'immense popularity" caused

day of election. He said nothing that

he considered very witty, but the ben

JrnrLEE.-The Seventh Jubilee Of
the Lutheran Church was duly ceIe-
brated by the congregation under the
charge Of Rev. B. II. Hunt, at SchelIs-
burg, last week. The services COM
menced on Thursday and closed on
Sabbath eve. The church was taste
fully decorated with evergreens, and
mottos pertinent to the occasion were
hung about the walls. the most pTOmi-
uent one, from Martin Luther, half en-
circling the Great Reformer's portrait,
was placed behind the pulpit Elm
Feste Burg ist Unsar Gott."
The Pastor announced that he de-
sired to raise the sum of one hundred
dollars, in order to liquidate the in
dcbtcdne5s of the church. Considera-
bic above that amount was at once sub
-cribed and paid. The services through
out, in which the teachers and scholars
the church participated, were full Of
Interest, and will long be remembered
by all who were present. But with
the jubilee We're mingled thoughts Of
sadness when Mr.. Hunt announced
that with these services his relation as
pastor must cease. For ten years he
has miuistered to the spiritual wants
of this people, and by Divine blessing
the church has prospered a it never
Gid before. Many a fearful eye was
beheld as the Pastor was about to separ-
ate from his congregation, and as the
parting words came his heart became
toofull lforutterancean and hecould simply
say, Good bye, God bless you :"
Mr.. Hunt has accepted call from
Germantown, whittier he goes in few
weeks. y.
SWORN IN.-Daniel p. Beegle, Esq,
the newly elected County Commission
er, was sworn into office by Justice
Nicodemus, on last Saturday. Mr..
Beegle is an active, industrious man,
just in the prime Of life, and, we pre-
diet will make a good officer. Michael
:. Ritchey, who retires from the Board,
has been a faithful guardian of the pub
lie interests, and goes out Of Office with
the consciousness Of having earnestly
cndcavored to discharge the duties
which his Office imposed upon him.
