The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1869-08-12

ceiling Of the audience room is to be ele-
waited with middle horizontal, longitud-
inal surface, with two planes on each side
OF 1t of different angles of inclination,
with angles ornamented with mould;ngs,
to be crossed at right angles with similar
mouldings passing from the centre of each
window space across the ceiling to the
corresponding opposite space, dividing
the whole ceiling into PANEL work. The
number of pews will be one hundred and
four, of a capacity each of four adult sit
tings, giving accommodation to four hun
| dred and sixteen exclusiveof pulpit and Or
chestra. The present purpose is to finish
the pews ETC., of the audience room with
carefully selected red oak, waxed, per-
haps stained to deeper color, and then
oiled. The orchestra space will be fitted
to receive an organ and all essential to
the leading of the praises of the Sanctuary.
Besides the large front window, there
will be on each side of the room four
windows, which it is desirable to have
finished with stained and enamelled glass
and which it would be economy to have
placed, at once, in the order in which
they are to remain. The most careful
provision has been made for the best ven
tilation of every apartment in the build
ing; and it is designed to give like at
tention to guard its heating arrangements
against exposure of the building to fire,
while the temperature shall be matter
of perfect control. Cheap as shingles are
| here the interior arrangements are de
| signed to be SO nearly FIRE proof, that it
| will probably prove expedient to put a
slate roof upon the building at once CIV
ing it as near complete protection from
being burnt, as it seems practicable for
human care to make it.
The expense of this structure will be
considerably more than was at first con-
templated. And yet the Trustees have
given everything, connected with the
work, such careful attention, that the re-
sources at hand; the pledges given; the
growing disposition to add an architecture
ally finished public building as an orna-
ment TO our village and the generous
interest manifested by many outside the
village to aid the enterprise; they expect
next summer to see the whole work ap-
! proach its completion It will need
nearly four hundred thousand bricks (of
ordinary size) for the brick work. 1t
will need some seventy cords of rough
stone for foundation and walls. Lumber
which abounds in our county, timbers for
steeple and other parts of the structure
will be needed. Contributions in money,
contributions in materials, contributions
in labor. and contributions in trade which
will bring both labor and material in these
times Of commercial stringency, all will
help, and are what are needed.
Additional to assets on hand, and
counted upon. from abroad, the society
will need about $4,000 for its work. To
take advantage of the idle time of winter
when LABOR is cheap, because so limited in
demand, and for other purposes the TIus
tees need to raise about $4,000 this sum-
mer that they may purchase stone for
cutting purposes, choice lumber for doors,
windows, castings, patchwork, and pews
that they may provide for quarrying, and
drawing in the winter, rough stone; and
may bring from distance the long and
heavy timbers, that will be needed, to
prepare the best and most economically
possible for next summers work. A
subscription for this special purpose is in
the hands of the solicitor of the society
E. K. Rand Esq, who will welcome sub.
scriptions from all, in any amounts, and
for almost any form of material or work.
1t might be a pleasure to the liberal pub
lie to know in what hands the execution
Of this undertaking is lodged. The Board
of Trustees consists of Messrs. G. w.
Barker, r. Fl, Hoes, Lewis Sherman, E.
B. Treat, VIM. Pbipps, Fred. Borcherdt,
E. K. Rand, Chas. Luling, and j. D.
Markham, whose names, in this county,
are vouchers, believed to be satisfactory
to all. The building committee consists
of Messrs. H. FL. Hoes, Lewis Sherman,
and E. K. Rand. Also Chas. Luling,
Esq, is the Treasurer of the building
fund.
1t certainly is due to the architect, as
well as to the public to add, that it has
been through the skilled taste, liberal
generosity, and tireless patience of W.
w. Boyington Esq, of Chicago, that the
society has been able to secure plans and
specifications which are regarded by all
who have examined them, as so com,
plete. 1t is anticipated that the finished
work, by commencing itself to the pride
of every villager, will advertise efficiently
his skill. and multiply, in our midst,
proofs of his taste and ability, which can
not become too many, as our present
large growth shall soon take the dimen-
sions of beautiful city,
MoRMoNIsM IN NORTH CAROLINA
Mention has already been made of the
fact that two Mormon elders had been
proselyting in North Carolina, and that
they had managed in two counties to
make one hundred and thirty converts
1t is said that the people seem to be
deeply imbued with the particular doc
trine of that sect, and to have full faith
in their leader They have sold off their
property, whenever practicable, and will
make fresh start in the land of promise.
