IMPROVEMENT ON THE NJ L. CHURCH.
The building and Finance Committee met al
the parsonage Monday evening, 29th inst
The Finance Committee reported IS, $50 on
subscription. The joint committed anani-
0lOuSly decided that it would be unwise and
unsafe to commence the contemplated i'm
prOvements on the church until $4,000 were
obtained on subscription. This long needed
work would commence immediately but for q
deficiency in the subscriptions Of $500 Now
there are members and friends of the church
who expect to contribute to the enterprise who
are holding off for more OppOrtune moment.
Considering the interests pending, the present
is the most seasonable period to subscribe.
Indeed, it would seem that subscriptions given
nOa0 would be the most important of ALL 1t
is to be regretted that this work, so init
mately connected with the public morals
and public taste, should be stayed in its
progress by the indeci>iOn and unwillingness
of those who are to be directly benefited
by it. 1t is greatly hoped that this week
will bow a subscription of $4,000, for the
committee have positively decided not to pro
pose plans for building, or to commence Ope-
ratiOns until this sum is secured.
1t ought to be known that the committee
have determined, as far as possible, in the
purchase Of materials and employment of me-
chanics, to give the preference to our own work
men and artisans The following gentlemen
are the building committee: Jno Fl. Bew-
lev, James r. Clement, n. T. Jerman, John
H. llOffecker, VIM. WOrdcn and the pastor of
the church Any of these are authorized to
receive subscrptions also, Thos Carrow, at
his Office ON Man st.
Let all who intend to help in this work
commit themselves this week. One year will
be given for the payment of all subscriptions
to be paid in quarterly instalments.

A WoMAN's DESCRIPTION OF ALASKA.
A lady who was formerly resident of
Syracuse, N. Y, writes from Sitka, Alaska,
as follows:
The last Summer had been remarkably
pleasant and dry; we had seventeen days
of pleasant weather, not broken by single
shower; something that Sitka could not
boast of before. Talk of sunsets-I never
saw anything so splendid. Italy, with all
her balmy airs and azure skies, cannot
equal Sitka for sunsets. enjoy our nice
harbor ever so much. Could you see me
rowing about in my little canoe among the
islands (thcre are more than sixty of them
in the harbor), you would have a good
laugh. A row about the harbor is one Of
our greatest delights when the weather is
favorable. The water is too cool for bath
ing, but on few warm days salt water
bath is refreshing.
In time the Indians will be great help
to the country. My husband employs a
number in the fisheries, and he likes them
better for laborers than the Russians. They
have had very good luck fishing this sea-
son. They will have about a thousand
barrels of salmon. The fishing season is
now nearly over The great salmon catch
lasts about four months, although at other
times the Indians bring into town great
many fish caught by hook and line. What
ever else Sitka may lack, it has an abund-
ance of wild game, so that We had plenty
to eat even before we were in receipt of
regular supplies of fruit, etc., from Port
land. The venison now is delicious, and
also the prairie chicken. The young ones
of the latter are like spring chickens.

Cigars and Boards.

1t took long time to establish freS
trade in tobacco and hair among the habits
OF English society. A cigar and beard 4
few years back were considered indications
Of skeptical views and socialistic tendeu-
cies. Few men were to be seen smoking
in public; and one only in London had
the courage to defy the multitude by wear
ing beard. He was then member for
manufacturing consistency. He did not
live to see change which occurred few
years later. The beard which had sub.
jected him to SO much abuse cropped out
in the army, the navy, and the civil popu-
lation. 1t was suddenly discovered to be
convenient aud ornamental; and the Fa-
Guilty pronounced it to be natural respira-
tor
The baker wore it to exclude the -four
from his lungs; the railway guard to keep
off the biting wind the dandy to acquire
manly beauty, and the gentleman with
mouth like the orifce of carpet bag,
garuished with double row of pianoforte
keys, resorted to beard to hide the sharps
and flats from the public eye.
The bar made move; but was represscd
by the stern attitude of the judges. False
hair on the head might be necessary, but
real hair on the chin was too bad.
Tho churchmen were bolder and more
successful. They remembered that though
Joseph shaved, tradition has led to the
belief that other scriptural characters did
not. Thus encouraged, they dared to
brave the frowns of the Bishops; and
long boards now wag from many British
pulpit.
There was fall in the value of razors,,
and an American gentleman Of that day,
stroking long fringe that covered his
throat, was heard to remark that " shaving
is labor without wages, and the material
you cut off is of no value in the market

PERSONAL GossIP-There are certain
newspapers in this country, says the Com
mercial Bulletin, which exist by pander-
ing to craving for personal gossip, and the
retailing of the private details of mems
and women's lives. Such literature il
daily having its evil effects, aud there are
many sheets which, though they aim to be
respectable, cannot resist what they appear
to think the" tendency of the age These
sensational paragraphs aud interviews sre
creating popular taste which is as badm
it we'll can be. If this goes on, q paper
which does not retail scandal will become
"stupid," and will lose its popularity.
1t is bad enough for newspapers to vilify
each other; but this is a very secondary
offence to the public, when compared with
the invasion Of homes, and the laying bare
their troubles, the defamation Of private
character by insinuation and inuendo, the
arrogant intrusion of reporters on all sorts
of people at all sorts of times, and the
making of crimes the most elaborate and
minutely described topics of newspaper col
umnS.
