RE.DEpIoATIoN OF A CHURCH.
About six miles west of Westminster
is a Union Church, owned and occupied
Jointly by Lutherans and German Re-
formed. The building is of brick and
had stood many years without any re-
pairs. consequently had become rather
unsightly.~a The Rev. p. A. Strobel is
the Pastor of the Lutheran Congrega-
ton, and ReY. j. Steiner Pastor Of the
Reformed ca E2 5eEsB
During the ummer the two Congre-
cations resolved to re6t the Church.
Committees were appointed to raise the
money and superintend the work. The
Church has been painted onthe outside
and nicely penciled. New pews, new
pulpit and new altar railing were pro-
cured. The interior Of the Church has
been neatly frescoed, and all the wood
work reprinted. New carpets have
been put in the altar and pulpit, and
the alsles covered with MANILA mating.
The fences around the Church have
also been renewed and white washed,
80 that what. was heretofore known as
Baust's Church, has been SO completely
transformed, both as to its exterior and
its interior, that the old worshippers in
this time hCnored edifce, can hardly
realize that. they are in the same build
ing.
The re-dedication of this Church took
place last Sabbath, in the presence ofan
imnicnse audience. The introductory
services were performed by the Rev. G..
Owen, of Baltimore. The sermon was
preached by Rev. P. A. Strobel, from
Genesis Xxx, 9th verse: In whatsoever
place I record my name I will come
unto thee and will bless thee"
The Rev. j. Steiner, after having
done some very efectual begging, by
which the remainder of the deb.
on the church (S175 00) was realized,
performed the services of re dedication
The services were somewhat protracted,
but the interest of the audience did not
seem to flag. The Church on this oc-
casion received a new name, and will
hereafter be known as EMANUEL's
sCHuKeH. Thetwo Congregations get
along tremendously, aud are, it is to
be hoped, about to enter upon IA caree..
of renewed usefulness aud prosperity.

BEWARE OF BURGLARS The resi-
dence of Mayor Fowble was entered on
Wednesday night of last week by one
OF the vagabonds, we suppose, that are
continually tramping through our city
The entrance Was mad through one of
the windows of the back building, the
shutters of which were not closed
The sideboard i'll the dining room was
ransacked, but as it did not contain any
valuables the burglar proceeded to>the
second story. The door of the room in
which Mr.. Fowble and wife were sleep
ing was opened, but the creaking OF the
hinges awoke Mrs. Fowble, who aroused
her husband. Dir. L. called, thinking
it was the servant girl, but was sur
prised to hear heavy footsteps descend
ing the stairs. He Immediately gave
chase, but owing to the darkness was
unable TO come up with the rascal. The
rogue left regular Jimmie" behind,
showing that he-came prepared oropen
ing doors or anything else which stood
in his way.
An attempt was made the same night
on the National Hotel, but with no
success. Our citizens cannot be too
cautious at this time, as there is scarce
ly day but, from six to ten of these
struggling yagrauts pass through the
city. la t,
