THE HUNLoCK's CREEK RAILROAD.
We sincerely hope that this impor-
tant improvement will have a speedy
success; that the sound of the steam
whistle will soon be heard in the Hunt
ington valley, upon the upper waters Of
Fishingcreek and along the waters of
Muncy. The route is about the shortest
practicable one between the Wyoming
valley and the West Branch, and the
great business interests and railroad
connections at each end of the route,
ought to be sufficient to insure the con-
struction of the road. The difficulty Of
crossing the valleys Of two large creeks
upon the route,we learn can be reasona-
bly, overcome by the engineers, and
there is no other natural difficulty of
any importance. Grades, upon the
whole, are not unfavorable. AS afford.
ing an outlet to large section, which
has not heretofore had any direct ad-
vantage from public improvements,
this road should be regarded with favor
and sympathy and assisted and encour-
aged as far as possible by public opinion.

DEDICATIoN.-Then new hall of the
Young Mems Christian Association, of
Bloomsbury, was dedicated with inter-
esting and appropriate ceremonies on
Thursday evening last. Rev. SAMUEL
BARNES delivered a peculiarly excellent
oration, which was warmly appreciated
by those present, and if all the princi.
pies involved were righteously adhered
to by the young men ofthe present age,
much good would be the result. Prof.
Niles, and members of the Amate ur
Choral Association, treated the audience
to some pleasing music, which added
much to the evenings entertainment.
The hall is commodious, neat, and in
every respect suitable for the purpose for
which it is intended. 1t is open to all,
at all times, and being furnished with
the best reading matter, and other home
attractions, must prove always place
of interest - young men who desire to
cultivate their minds, and, at the same
time, to enjoy agreeable associations
Let our young men, irrespective of feel.

The Episcopal Bishops Pastoral Letter

The course of moderation and the
general desire to amicably preserve
the unity Of the Church which were
manifested'i in the Episcopal General
Convention arc admirably supple
mented Ivy the tone of the pastoral
letter of tho House of Bishops, an
able and interesting document which
from lack of space, We arc unable to
publish. While adhering to the
ohurch's established faith and ordi.
nauces, it speaks words of warning
against any deviation from the stand
ards. in wha tever direction. Teach
ing tho doctrine Of transubstant tiation
in the administration of tho commu-
nion, the custom Of private confession
and the worship of the saints are tho
evils of excessive Ritualism which arc
disapproved Of, and departure from
the Liturgy, irroverence and lawless-
ness, in tho other extreme, are equally
placed under the ban of episcopal re-
proof. The conservative spirit of tho
pastoral will doubtless have groat
effect in tho church at large.

day, contains the following
ga few days since, n party of ne
groes, of Patterson, Now Jersey, went
on n picnic, employing as their musi-
clans for the occasion Rudolph's band
'Aftor playing tho length of time
stipulated for, the musicians au-
nounced that they would play no
longer, and pnckod up thoir instru-
ments and started for home. This
action seems to have angerod the ne
groes, who insisted that tho musioia ms
should play on. A row eventually
ensuod, in which the musicians, being
outnumbercd, came out second best,
some of them being terribly punished.
One of the men---Adam Rudolph.
leader of the band--was strung up to
a tree and chookod to death. Anoth.
or of the musicians was also seized
upon, and after being knocked down
was bayonetcd. His recovery is
doubtful"
Now, if this had occurred in any
Southern State, it would have been
distorted into a horrible Ku Klux
outrage, and If the offenders had been
white men, the Radical newspapers,
from Maine to California, would
have gone into doublc-!eaded spasms!;
Grant would have proclaimed that a
gigantic rebellion had broken out {;
martial law would have been pro.
claimed, and some of the guilty par
ties probably lynched. The circum-
stance would have been seized upon
as evidence that the South is in n state
OF chronic rebellion. and q most ad.
mirablo opportunity for the grati6ca~
tion of the Radical ma!iguity would
thus have bcon afforded.
