THE RAILRoAD.-The completion of
the B. G. r. & NJ. Railroad from Post
vile to West Union, was noted in our
columns last week. Operations on the
other end of the line arc being steadily
pushed. The iron is now laid to Il point
about three miles south of Center Point,
and it is proposed to extend the track
before winter sets in to the south line of
our county Ties are being distributed
along the track in this county, at the
present time. The inference which has
obtained in some quarters from the tenn
porary stoppage of the work, that the
company is bankrupt is very far from the
truth Owing to the unusual stringency
Of the money market and the failure to
procure iron il has not done all that it
hoped to do i'll the spring, but with the
guaranty Of stable financial policy

This community has Il vital interest in
the completion of this road Every days
experience with oar present inadequate
facilities demonstrates more clearly the
important influence it will have upon our
commercial prosperity and our growth,
by atfording competition and opening
new markets to us. We are sure that
while, by the terms Of the contract, our
community is absolved from the obliga-
ton to pay the tax voted to the road,
still our citizens are disposed to lend the
project helping hand, and to do all in
their power to further it when called up
on to do So,

monumental pillar in the rear Of tho
whole, is just receiving the casing of iron
which forms its topmost finish This
chimney is really two chimneys in one.
Inside is cast iron cylinder about
three feet in diameter, through which
the smoke from the furnaces finds
outlet. Surrounding this, with space
of about two or three feet interven-
ing. is the outer chimney Of brick
and stone. Through this annular space
escapes into the upper regions, the foul
air generated in all parts of the build
ing, the heat of the iron fiue warming the
air sufficiently to create an upward draft.
To impart q spice Of adventure to our
visit we climbed the 100 feet Of perpen-
dicular ladder required to reach the top
of the chimney and were well rewarded
for the effort by birdseye view Of the
country for miles in ever direction. With
good glass six counties may be seen
from this aspiring height the varying pan.

We spent a very pleasant hour in

full, conscientious manner in which this
great State work is being conducted.

Congregational Church.

Rev. Mr.. Hisspll has decided to remain
as pastor of the Congregational church.
The rumored possibility in his removal
secured an unusually large attendance at
the society meeting, and all the requisite
conditions were promptly met
Public service upon til Sabbath will be
held at 1890 A. NJ. and 8 CLOCK F. NJ.
The reason that first led to the after
noon service was the preference of many
of the older members, who had been ac-
customod to that hour of worship in the
east. 1t moreover seems desirable that
in place the size of Independence, at
least one church should be open for the
accommodation of such as prefer to at
tend at that hour.
Though families usually occupy from
Sabbath to Sabbath the same slip, the
seats are all free-the expenses of the So
ciety being paid by subscription. This
year trial is being made of what is
termed the envelope plan, and though
just adopted it promises well. Each sub
scribcr pledges upon card, which Is

the dues for that month, placed in q

name, are deposited in box marked

vestibule of the church. These are ta-
ken out .,by the collector and a record
made on the book Of the Treasurer. the
pastor receiving his salary monthly
The box in the vcstibulc also furnishes
occasional attendants, disposed to aid the
church, and who are not subscribers, to
do SO of their own free will, putting their

out their name accompanying 1t. BY
avoiding the rental system, the Congre.
gational society desire to afford the great
est freedom to the worshippers with them;
and by allowing each subscriber to select
his own sitting regardless of the amount
he may be able to pay, to avoid as much
as possible the inviduons distinctions
which are to apt to intrude themselves
into the sanctuary. BY their method Of
subscription they aim, both to make the
contributions to the support of the Cos
pei free-will offering, and to encourage
the adoption Of the Apostolic rule Of lay
ing aside in store upon the first day Of
the week, according as God hath pros.
