Church DedicatiOn.-A new African M.
Z. Church, in Cecilton, was dedicated on
Sunday last, which was ceremony OF
unusual interest to the colored people of
that vicinity. The building is neat
frame, finished in modern style. A cores
pondent of the Baltimore american gives
the following account of the dedication
ceremonies:
At 70! Bishop Wayman and the rest OF
the ministers present were met at the door
by the trustees, who presented the key to
the Bishop, saying: eve welcome you in
Gods name" Then, as the ministers
walked up the aisle, the S4th Psalm was
read-"How amiable are Thy tabernacles,
o Lord of Hosts After the reading was
ended the choir sang 81 have set watch
men upon the WALL" sc. Then followed
the dedicatory prayer. The Bishop then
read for his text, Haggia, I'd chapter, 9th
verse-"And the glory Of this latter shall
be greater than by the former" &c. The
congregation was very large; the white and
colored citizens turned out in their strength,
and contributed very literally to pay fol
the church. The pastor, Rev. W. NJ. John

Weath6r.-Tuesday evening favored us
with all the representations of severe
thunder storm, which terminated, however,
in slight fall of hail,-not sufficiently
large to do any damage to the embryo
fruit, or blast the hopes of the farmer
We are having unusually warm weather
for the season, -other persons appreciate
the fact-no doubt.
The FJsAing.-Fish are very nice, or at
least many think so, but I'm inclined
to think the fish haulers nuisance-not
that the articles in question are expected
to take the overland route for Ldncsster-
but the drivers might be a tritie more polite.
Again, it's annoying to have our Sunday

traffic on the one day out of seven, intended
for the worship of God. Certainly the
Fifth Avenue parvenues have no more
grounds to petition Legislature for a Bill
to prevent the Bowery from making their
pavements Sunday promenade, than have
we for plea against this disregard of the
Sabbath which is having such a tendency
to degenerate mankind.

EXHIBITION.

MIR. EDITOR Our friend, Mr.. J. G..
Warner, Principal of Pilot Town School,
favored the patrons of the school and the
public with an Exhibition Con Thursday
evening, March 30th,) by the pupils of the
school. The evening was very unfavorable,
yet such is the interest taken in this
important feature of education, that the
house was filled at an early hour by large
and attentive audience. The exercises
consisted of declamations and Dialogues
The youthful orators acquitted themselves
finely, rejecting great credit on their
school and teachers, and l may truly say,
on the school District. 1t would be almost
impossible to have so good an exhibition,
Or to have a school room SO beautifully
decorated, in any District, where kindly
interest was not felt in the labors of the
teacher.

furnished excellent music for the occasion.
