Ep The Rev. Mr.. JENKENs preached
an excellent sermon at the Presbyterian
Church, on Friday evening last, to a
small though attentive audience.
We wish to call the attention just at
this time, to the unsafe condition of the
Church 1t seems that the roof is leak
ing very badly and the plastering is fall
ing off continually, making it dangerous
to remain in the Church. And we would
make a suggestion right here as our Me
thodist friends have occupied the build
ing of and on ever since the war, that
they raise by subscription or concert a
sufficient fund to put the Church in safe
and respectable condition. 1t will only
require, we think, this gentle reminder
to interest the friends Of the Church in
this matter Shall we have a concert for
this purpose?

The PENNSYLVANIA VICToRY.-This is
what the Harrisburg Patriot says of the
Pennsylvania voctery: The Democrats
and Conservatives of Pennsylvania have
cause for profound Joy over the result OF
the recent elections. The Democratic
majority Of the State OH the popular
vote will not fall short of eight thous
and. If the will ofthe people were not
halked by fraudulent apportionment
there would bea working majority fol
the Democrats in both branches of the
Legislature. AS it is, the gain Is great
the Radical majority in the House being
reduced to ten or twelve members, and
to one member in the Senate.

WHEELING, Oct. 90


Incomplete returns from about twenty
counties, embracing thirds Of the
State, show large Democratic gains,
enough to amount to the announcement
that the State has been carried by the Dc
mocracy by small majority, perhaps
one thousand or twelve hundred. This
the Republicans concede They have also
elected two Congressman, from the First
and Third districts, and by large gains
will be enabled to control the next Leg
islaturc which elects United States
Senator to fill the seat made vacant by
Senator Wiley. The interior counties
will not be heard from for several days
owing to lack Of telegraph commanica-
tions; but their returns will not material
