EVERY SABBATH-At busines meet
ing held at the VI. E Church recently,
it was decided by the unanimous vote of
all present, that the present pastor, Rev
Mr Todd, should devote his entire time
aud ministrations toward building up the
church in this city. Therefore, hereafter,
preaching may be expected twice every
Sabbath, instead of every alternate Sab
bath, as heretofore. The question Of
removing the church building TO a more
central point is being agitated. This
should be done, as 1t is now entirely Toe
far away from the centre Of the city.

RROWNsVILLE ITEMS.
FROM oun REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

BRowSsyfLLE, Oct. 4, 1870.
Things are looking up a little about
Brownsville. Business is better and mon>
ey plentier than it has been at any time
for year past, and everybody seems to
be doing well
Although there is a general complaint
among the farmers OF hight crops, the
advanced prices now paid for grain,
and the prospects for still better prices,
somewhat compensates for the partial
failure.
The Touring mill is now being re-
paired 4 new wheel is to be put in,
several rods Of new flume built, and the
mill otherwise thoroughly overhauled and
put in good running order for the Fall
and Winter trade. We understand the
Company intend to buy wheat and pay
Albany prices for it as soon as the mill
starts again.
The Postofficc has been removed from
the drug store of Rowland & Hume, to
4. Wheeler's dry goods store.
While taking a stroll on last evening,
We stepped into the new Baptist church,
which is now completed. The interior
presents very neat appearance. 1t Is
seated with two tiers of seats, with center
and side aiSlcs, aud is calculated to scat
comfortably go persons. The painting,
staining, granting and vanishing has
been done under the supervision OF Mr..
p. Hume, and, if we are any judge OF
that kind of work, it is a neat job, 1t
will be opened for service and dedicated
on the third Sabbath (l6th) in this
month
The State Fair is beginning to exercise
the minds of good many Of cur citizens,
and considerable preparation for week 8
sojourn at the capital are being made.
From present Indications Brownsville
will be tolerably well represented there.
Your Brownsville correspondent expects
to be one Of the number.

DANGERoUs-Th rubber slings"
with which the boys throw buckshot, are
a dangerous institution, and boys should
be very careful how they use them. On
Thursday shot from a sling in the
hands of some careless boy, struck and
went through window pane in the resi-
dence of Capt. Shields, coming within
an ace of hitting Mrs. Shields, who was
standing close By. An instrument that
will throw buckshot across the William
cite river at this point is rather danger
Gus thing to put into the hands of small
boys, and will cause some boys father a
BIG bill Of expense.

There seems TO be no doubt that the
city of Jerusalem destroyed by Titus
remains buried under the foundations
of the modern town, and that many
most valuable relics may yet be brought
to light. Tho explorations at Jerusa-
lem, under the direction of Lieut War
ren, are resulting in some highly inter-
esting discoveries, The city is built
upon bill intersected by valleys, but
it is in tho depths Of those latter that
the ancient capital Of the world are TO
be found buried under debris to the
depth Of thirty, fifty and even ninety
feet. The mode Of exploring is by
sinking shafts through the mass Of nc
cumulated rubbish down TO the ruins
below Some fifty shafts have been
sunk, and at the bottom Of one Of the
foundations of the old walls OF the Tenn
pie Area have been found, ninety feet
below the surface. Mysterious charac-
tors, at present unintelligible, are to be
seen on some Of the stones The ex-
plorations Of the Birket Israil, or Pool
Of Bethesda, has revealed a vast vauted
reservoir Dearly 100 feet in depth. Its
extent is still being investigated In a
part oi the Haram Area tank mouth
was lately entered, and was found to
lead TO large structure sirty-threc
feet long by ffty-seyen wide, yaulted
very much like a church There is ey-
cry reason 10 hope that the full investi'
gation Of these ruins will yield the most
important discoveries; but as every
shaft sunk must be lined with wood
and as the wood soon decays at Jeruaa-
lem, the work is very costly.
