appointed hour the church was hlec nearly

were opened with reading Of Scriptures BY

Rev. VIM. Lease, of the Methodist society,
followed in prayer. After singing by the

preached tho dedicatory sermon-an able
and pointed discourse. After the sermon.
DR.. Horatio Bryant stated the financial

TAs Law 81 Newspaper.

For the special benefit Of some Of our sub.
scribers, We republish the following abstract
the laws relating TO newspapers:
!. Subscribers who do not give express
orders to the contrary are considered Is wish
ing to continue their subscription.
If subscribers wish their paper dis,
continued, publishers may continue to send
them until all charges are paid.
3. II subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their papers from the Office or place to which
they are sent. they are held responsible I'M
til they settle their bill and notice to discon-
tinue them.
4. IL subscribers move to other places
without informing the publishers and the
paper is sent to the former direction they
are held responsible. Notice should always
be given Of removal.
s. The courts have decided that refusing
TO take paper or periodical from the Office,
or removing and leaving it uncalled f,r, is
prima .facia evidence of intentional fraud.
Under the law Of Congress, papers are
not charged postage in the county in which
they are published.

There are salcmn tones now pealinx uppn tho
quiet air.
For soul hath passed the borders Of tbi,
pleasant world mud fair
When the winter winds were signing, and the
nodding blossoms gay.
Their lovely heads had bowed to sleep, his
spirit passed away.
No angry fever bound him with its visions
wild and dread.
No racking pains confined him TO his weary
sleepless bed,
But when his cup was fullest Of the ruby
And the future stretched before him, undoi
mined by care and strife
With ~ foot upon tho pathway Of busting
world like this,
He passed the golden portals 10 the world Of
perfect bliss;
And whenDeath's sngelplaced him beneath his
shadowy wing,
There was but one moments anguish and he
heard the seraphs sing.
And the band that clung together when the
stately temple rose,
Tire gh the centuries fowery summers and
the winters falling SHOWS
Have laid their boughs above him--grecn honors
DER his bed,
Have sung their song Of triumph for tho hero
who 10 dead.
For the man who conquers fortune, meets the
daily cares Of life,
With face unchanged, and smiling, is . hero
of the strife.
Farewell, but not forever; there's glorious sum
fner shore,
When those whom death hath severed shall
meet TO part no more.
There hand in hand together. press onward to
the throne,
When God shall reiga forever and al Of " His
own.

the congregation should raise the amount Of
the socetys Indebtedness. The cost of the
proposed donation was 800. This very
liberal offer seemed to act like an electric
shock upon the audience, which not only
raised the amount required, but $500 more
The amount raised was $l545. This, with
the Drs. donation, amounted To $2545. or
this amount, G. g. Woodruff gave 5000.
The prayer Of dedication was then offered
by Rev. Lyman Whiting, d Dubuque.
After singing, the benedc,ion was offered
by Rev. J. NJ. Boggs, of the Presbyterian
society, and the congregation dispersed to
their bones.
The exercises we're appropriate aud im-
pressive. The choir, under the direction of
d. D. Holdridge, Esq, sang very swcc,lY and
effectively.
The church building is Of wood, 40x co
feet in dimension, with seventy pews, which
will comfortably seat five persons each, and
. gallery across the entrance end. The build
ing 10 plain, but chas.e and harmonousin its
architecture, and is furnished with excellent
TASTE The cost Of furnishing, including the
organ, is about 500. The total cost, inclu-
ding the whole lot, is about $500. It is .
marvel how so 6uc building was erected
80 cheaply. 1t reflects great credit upon the
business capacity Of DR.. Bryant, who has
had immediate charge Of the work
and to whom the society aud the pubs
lie are indebted more than 20 any other
single man, for the successful consummation
Of the enterprise. We must not neglect in
this connection to mention the very liberia
subscription Of Mr.. c. G. Woodruff, whose
vEole contributions amount to 81 100. Dr.
Bryant's moneyed contributions amount te
$1,000.
The New England Congregational society
Of Independence WAS organised in May last,
and now numbers thirty >two members. Rev.
Henry Mills, the pastor Of the church, com
meaeed his labors in July. His preachine
has proved very acceptable.
OF the lecture on Tuesday evening, ant
the supper on Thursday evening, we have
only space to say that they were both sue
cessful. The supper was largely attended.
