magnificent new VI. E, Church building, we
discover things are about in order for the
DEDICATION tomorrow. The room in which
the ceremonies are to be performed is the
most spacious of any in the city, and is
expected to be filled to its utmost capacity.
The known eloquence of Rev Mr.. FALLows.
who breaches the dedication sermon in the
morning; the Sunday School concert in the
afternoon, and Mr.. SEARLEs' discourse in
evening, make up programme that cannot
fail TO attract an immense audience.
The grandeur and immensely of this edi-

dows which are in, makes felt the halo of

ASSESSING Our worthy prede-
cessor is vigorously at work finding out
what our people are worth. If there Is
one small Office more perplexing and thank
less than another, it is that of assessor. He
works harder for the amount received and
gets more blessings ~ than any body else,
and, as a rule, those most abused while
performing their duties prove to be the
best officers. We have noticed Mr. Bliss
pursuing his labors the past month, and
from his motions" are ready to predict
that when the tax roll of this city is made
up 1t will be found that he has made one of
the most just and full assessments ever
known in Iowa county. He expects to con-
