CORNER STONE CEREMONIES
German Lutheran Church.

= On Sabbath last. we, in company with
many of our fellow citizens, principally
Germans, witnessed the ceremonies of
laying the corner stone Of the South
Franklin German Lutheran Church
building, or, rather, the front addition
that denomination is now making to it,
for the purpose Of erecting a cupola on
the house, and charging the body Of
the room used for public worship The
pastor of the Church, Rev j. D. Sever
inghaus, before the ceremonies COM
menced, preached a brief sermon in the
German language; but not understands.
ing that vernacular, we could not COM,
prehend it, but took it for granted that
all he said was sound and right.
The ceremonies OF laying the corner.
stone took place on the outside of the
building, and were highly interesting,
Notwithstanding the heat of the sun and
the Inconvenience of letting it's rays
brol out an extra quantity of perspira-
ton from those who we're looking at the
operation, and listening to the remarks
Of the Rev. pastor. Here, as in the
house, the ceremonies were conducted
in the German language, with the ex-
ceptlon Of the manner in which the
beautiful cornerstone was embedded in
mortar, squared and pointed with the
trowel-that was all done by our old
friend John Peterson in good American
style-solid and substantial
Then followed an address in the Eng
lish language, by tue Rev. Severing-
haus, that was explanatory of the con.
tents Of small zinc box, deposited
within the stone, and was replete with
eloquence and sound doctrine. We are
sorry we did not apply to him for
copy for publication in time for our
present issue. The box, above alluded
ito, contained a copy of the Bible, Cate
chism, several German newspapers, a
copy of each of the papers published in
our city, a list of the members belong-
ing to and worshiping in this church,
mum bering three hundred and twenty
As a scrap of history connected with
this Church, and which, we presume,
escaped, Internationally, being men
toned by Mr.. S., We remember that,
about twenty years ago, our old friend
and fellow citizen, IRWIN REED, virtual-
ly laid the corner stone of this Church
by donating the lot on which the edifce
stands, and selling the Trustees lot
adjoining for a school house, for small
sum, to be paid toward building two
other churches Pearl street NJ. f. and
Presbyterian) then in process of erec>
ton. We mention this circumstance
as a fitting tribIte to the public enter
prise of our friend REED, and not by
way Of amending the otherwise perfect
history of the rise..and progress of this
Church, as given by its present efficient
and excellent pastor. gg8 q @!FRE
q A collections was taken up for the
purchase OF bell, and about forty dol
lars was raised for that object; after
which brief addresses were made by
Rev. Mr. Aigenbroad, Charles F. Coffin
aud others. & 50

Friend Russell and the Commissioners.

An interview with Auditor johnson
conyinces us that our friend Russell has
heen led into mistake in making the
Co. Commissioners responsible for a
private and unofficial act of his. The
receipts ia the hands Of Mr.. King, from
RatIiff, Dunbar and Underhill, show
this fully and clearly. The. assessment
was made under tue old law, and the
money was paid Mr.. Johnson by Mr.. X.
to hand to tue appraisers Ratliff, Dun
bar and Underhill), and Mr. johnson,
rs private individual gave those re-
ceipts to Mr.. King as lis vouchers that
said money was applied to the object
therein stated. We do not doubt for a
moment that our friend Russell thought
the whole matter was true just as he sta
ted it; and, when convinced of his mis-
conception he will say SO like the hon
est man that he is No allowance, Mr..
the Board under the late. law--the APP
praisers just appointed not having per
formed any services requiring any al
lowance as yet.
We have never hesitated to give place
in our columns to Investigations into the
official action of the peoples servants,
and the mere fact that they were onr
political friends, would not deter us from
doing it for one moment We want the
action of our Republican Office holders
to be subjected to the closest and seve>
rest criticism, and we always feel prond
Of them when we can say, as we feel we
can truthfully do in the present instance,
that the Board of Commissioners are
free from any censure whate, er charged
or insinuated, and we have the conf
dence that our friend Russell will also
say so.

little matter connected with the num-

CORRECTION w hope the Cam
bridge Times will not exhaust itself on
our County Commissioners, for the
common-scnse explanation ue gave
without consulting them, regarding the
holding over Of liquor cases by that
Court. The Commissioners, we pre-.
sumo, do not feel called upon to defend
their action regarding this complaint of
the attorney through the Times, in the
manner suggested, and, if he has any
thing to say, in order to make it effect
i've, we suggest that he should write out
all his important points in brief, and
present it to the Board at its next meet
ing, and then we think we can guaran-
tee bin an official answer. We merely
add our private opinion, gratis, that the
legal research and acumen already be-
slowed on the subject by the Times, has
only been productive of the smallest
and weakest kind Of mouse.

passed the lottery office, it required to
him, but, alas it was too late; the num-
bers his employer had desired him to pur-
chase had been bought up, and the list
closed. On reaching his Office he found
M. Saletti absorbed in business, and he
determined to delay the confession of his
lapsus of memory till after the drawing.
He therefore dived into his own particu-
lar Office, and said nothing. Mr.. .Saletti,
however, an inve.erste lottery player,
was on the alert, and at the exact hour
rushed to the nearest Office, where the
pleasant spectacle greeted him of the
four numbers he had selected having
won no less than 1,800,000f.
