This church was butt at cost Of
thirteen thousand five bundred dol.

been previously subscribed and paid
leaving debt OF six thousand five
hundred dollars, 10 be cancelled on tho
day OF dedication. Great anxiety was
felt respecting this debt, as the con.
gregation is not large, and for their
circumstances, had already made a
very eofnmsndablc effort Many
we're tho prayers offered that this
church might be left free from debt,
and in a situation favorable to their
future usefulness.
On the morning Of the dedication
there was ono very hopeful sign
That was the harmony and activity
of all interested in tho church, and
the evident determination of each one
TO contribute to the utmost extent
of his ability.
After deeply interesting and i'm
prcssive sermon by Mr.. Hawn, a
statement was made by the pastor,
the cost of the church,
amount paid, and the debt remaining.
Then, in less than one hour, more
'''ur o-asn thousand dollars was sub
scri6ed, with a Willingness and cheer
lulness rarely witnessed. Many of the
Methodist congregations of Curwcns-
vile and Clearfield, and of the Prcsby-

Tested their friendship by liberality,
for which we feel deeply grateful.

CuRwESsyiLLE, Nov. 20, 1869.
Mr. Editor;
Being in town fer several days on
Court week, and having previously
read your excellent article on the
new Jail, and hearing everybody talk
about il. ! examined and saw chow
the land lay" in and about tho upper
Park. | soon came 10 the conclusion
that il was the very spot to build the
Jail, and that Il would be robbery and
an outrage TO put il anywhere else -
hope the Commissioners will never
agree 10 build on the old site. They
had better pay six OF eight thousand
dollars for new location, il the Park
cannot be secured, and let the old jail
stand until the new one is done.
ECONOMY.
p. S.-Sincc have written the
foregoing learn that the Commits
sioners have agreed 10 postpone
building. This | think is a wise con.
clusion, for which they win be thanked
by the tax paying public.

flowing from the lnto fratricidal strife
will be abrogated
To illustrate For norv than four
years certain parties residing in Fer.
guson township, have been suspected
of numbering a man namcd "Jack
Ward" who was working in log
camp in February, 1865, and dis.
appeared very mysteriously. The
matter was frequently detailed TO us
for publication, but the facts being,
as VIC considered too vague, we did
not engage in tho enterprise Thus
the charge of murder was waited by
nearly every tongue in that neighbor-
hood against innocent parties, as the
result will prove.
Some time ago Ward was met by
former acquaintance on q railroad
train and recognized, and the fact
reported in the neighborhood This
only made things worse, and fully
established murder in that vicinity
This compelled the accused to resur-
rect Ward, who after considerable
search was again found, and on the
23d Of November, appeared in the
Court House, confronting both the
accuse'- and the accused, and fully
recognized as "tno I~ad man." In
his affidavit be states that hts rm,
name is Kenneth Raynor Ward, that
he was a member of North Carolina

'ation most emphaticaIly. Madam

The RELIGIOUS ERA.-1t Is truly
encouraging, and must be gratifying
to every candid mind, to note the
progress of gospel truths in our com.
munity, which seems TO be particularly
blessed of late. A few months ago,
Rev. Mr. Clippinger, of Karthaus
circuit, held a protracted meeting
at Shawsvile, which was abundantly
blessed by the baptism and conversion
of many precious souls. The good
work seems TO have followed him
over his entire circuit. The congre-
cation at Curwensville, under the
pastoral charge Of Rev. Mr.. Ferguson,
has also had an extensive revival
which brought many penitents to seek
salvation at the foot Of the CROSS
Whilst Bradford township, Philipsburg
and other places have had similar
manifestations of Gods presence and
goodness among them. And here in
CIearfcld, in its church presided over
by Rev. W. IL. Dill, a meeting has
been in progress for several weeks,
and we are glad 10 state that through
his continued efforts the people have
been aroused, and the harvest of souls
is bountifnl, and that bis efforts have
made glad the hearts and lightened
the burdens of many a penitent.-
Rev. Mr.. Nixdorf, of the Lutheran
church, has a meeting in progress,
where sinners may embrace Christ,
and we trust many will seek the
opportunity to ask and obtain for.
giveress of their sins.

opinion was expressed as to the plan pro-
posed to meet the pressing necessities Of

Of bonds or no bonds will no doubt have
TO be decided by the people.
