The MErHop1sr CnuRcH.-Thc ruins

The METHODIST CHURcH.-The ruin:
of the Methodist Church, at Virginia,
have been all cleared away under the
direction Of Rev. Dir. McGrath, the
Pastor, preparatory to rebuilding. In
a card to Mayor Currie. yesterday, Mr.
McGrath states as follows "The
wreck Of the NJ. f. church ediice IN
this city Is now entirely clear. SUI
perintended the work from first to last,
and for the satisfaction Of the people,
l beg leave to state through you that
found no evidence whatever OF there
having been an explosion Of any kind
In or around the building. The very.
heavy fre-proof roof and the north and
south walls were defective in structure
hence the fall Of the house. The
front and rear walls are good. We are
thankful to yourself and the citizens
generally for your generous offers OF
aid In rebuilding, and we assure
you that the Trustees will not fail
to put up q building which will
be safe and secure. In every part"
This effectually settles the question as
to the real cause OF the building fall
ing. and fully substantiates our pub
lished views on the subject. 1t also
disposes Of the silly rumor, at first
quite prevalent, that the Vigilance
Committee blew up the church with
powder In order to Keep Mr.. McGrath
from preaching against them. and OF
that other disgustlngly foolish rumor
to the effect that the Irish Or Catholics
did 1t In order to get even on the New
York riot.
Bro WATER.-Morris Pinchower &
Co. have incorporated the "High
Water and Narrow Guage " Company.
Capital stock. $40, 900, 900. In ten
shares. The Directors will be elected
next week. The object Of the COM
pany will be to run more water; and
a bill Is to be introduced
into Congress next session for aid to
the extent Of ten millions. AS the
mines on the Comstock are dry on the
lower levels, 1t Is believed more water
will be necessary 10 keep them healthy
by supplying them with moist air.
RESERVED S~EXrs.-Manager Piper
desires us to state that the box office OF
the Opera House will be opened at 10
o'clock A. NJ, on Monday, when, and
thereafter reserved seats can be secured
without extra charge for the first night,
or both nights Of the engagement Of
the Hyers' sisters. The true artistic
merit of these highly talented musical
wonders will doubtless attract full
houses.
HNTcHET-FARo.-The fellow who
attempted to beat a faro game with a
hatchet last Winter, says the Carson
Register, made q raid upon a party Of
young men who were enjoying them
selves at the wooden circus, aud got
the worst of it-coming off with a
large-sized head, m elevated nose and
twenty days In the County Jail.

Hill, BY the Rev. f. Dudley, at II
