"a We lave had two events, since my last.
which have created SOHO interest i'm the eoiI-
'munity; the first was the commencement
exercises Of Marshall College, which. took
place on Friday last, The week had been
spent in reviews and examinations, and file
closing exercises took place Mt . O'Clock p
M. on Friday. There were quite number
OF The Alumni present, az well as the Board
oil Regents and other visitors. The chanel of
the College was filled tn Overlooking, and all
parties wcro highly pleased, notwitIstand-
ing that the daY' was vet and dis,grcclblc.
Another event that excited good deal OF
interest in the religious world of our city
WIS the meeting Of q council OF ministers
and official members of the Congregational
Church to recognize church constituted i'm
this place, "tllc First Congregational Church
Of Huntingdon The council Included
many eminent clerical gentlemen among
Others Rev. Messrs: hoy; Of ChicaSo;, Walker,
of Cincinnati; Wakefield, Of Marietta and
others. The church was daily recognized,
and presented, through Rev. Mr.. Roy, with
splendid silver communion set from Mrs.
Hatch, of Now, York. I understand that
some friends of the church in New York
have raised the SUM of $4,000 toRartlr,the
amount necessary for building church, and
Il like stun has been subscribed here. The
church has selected 4 lot of tlc best In
the city--and / SUPPOSE will be one Of the

Politics are =" dull y heres All the papers
Of this town are working in the interest of
Grant; two of them, directly. the, other
Bourbon, by ,adVocatingYa nomination at
Baltimore. The truth Isl tlIe.less we have to
do with politics here the better; all the poll.
tics we. want is to push our city ahead. The
Radicals are already trying to get UP al oliti.
cal excitement here and at other places. I
notice that Swami and many other fellows,
who had better be "saying their prayers"
have started on a stumping expedition i'm the,
service, Of their master, Grant. They have a,
lame cause, and whenever the Liberal,
men start out they may hide tlieif heads.
The Dispatch, although its circulation is.
limited us yet here, is very popular, and what
copies come arc well read. When VIC have
daily trains to Richmond you. will have
many subscribers here. II -l.... ~. 49,"
