MEssRs. GEORGE z. RowxLt s Co., the cele-
brated and popular New York Advertising Agency,
engage to advertise In gross and detail for large cts
TONERS In better aud cheaper mode than they can
dois themselves. This sincerely believe they can
do because 1t Is their sole business-thetr specidHy
because they get space ut lowest wholesale rates,
and because Of their In tl.has and confidential rela-
tions with publishers. If we wish 70 spena ten
thousand dollars In general advertising oVeE tne

knowledge of advertising styles and Of rates; we
wouId cmplov them under certain directions. We

TIE MANCHESTER BAPTIST CHURcH.-trom
The minutes of the last session OF the Middle
District Baptist Association we learn tne m ioi-
lowing with regard to the condltion OF TINS
church: The additions for the past year were !:
By letter, Is; and by baptism, 3. The dImi-
nutions were BY exclusion, 0; and by deatn2
4. The total membership is 269 females and
179 males. The collections for mission anu
educational purposes, and In addition 10 pas
tors salary and church expenses, were
s169.s6. This church was constituted IN
1856, and the present pastor is Rev. Joseph
t. Deans.
LOCAL FRErGHrs.-The importance OF
Manchester both as freight and passenger
dep6t is on the increase by both the Dam
vile and Petersburg railroads-tbe former
excelling In freight and the latter in passen-
gers. TO accommodate both trati1cs each oil
the railroads have made every provision,
and further increase will, it is trusted, repay
them.
The ARCHES TAKEN DowN.-The arches
built for the Free Bridge Company over the
Richmond and Danvilie railroad have been
taken down, having been found too small 10
allow the Passage of some large stone order-
ed by the Government. 1t is expected that
they will be speedily rebuilt, as all the other
work competed with the bridge progresses
at such favorable rate.

TEMPERANCE LECTURE BY BISHOP GIBBONS.
The temperance movement WHICH has been
inaugurated by the Catholics of this diocese
by the organization of total abstinence
society is progressing very satisfactorily,
and doubtless in short time the list Of
signers, which already embraces quite a
number of names, will be greatly augmented.
In order to aid in the good work, we learn
that Right Rev. Bishop Gibbons proposes in
a short time to give lecture in the Cathe'
dral on the subject of temperance, on which
occasion an admission fee will be charged,
the proceeds to be devoted to purchasing
new books for the library OF the Cathedral
Sunday school. II is to be hoped the lecture
will be successful both morally and fnan-
cially. t.

formed by the Public Guard. Large work

SCIENTIFIC EXHIBITION How
land, the well-known scientific lecturer, now
in this city, delivered last night ut Virginia
Hall the first of series of regular lectures
to be given this week. He made interesting
and edifying experiments with the calcium
light. electric light. and spectroscope, show.
ing Photographic views of various natural
and anatomical scenes. Some of the small
est insects were nlagniied to the most enor-
nous proportions, showing to what mar
velous accuracy the instruments were ad-
justed, and to what depth this science has
reached.
The Professor also showed the wonderful
power of magnetism by the aid of large
electromagnetic suspended, which was capa.
bic, when fully charged, of sustaining ton
weight. When the battery was applied so
great was the effect that a small compass in
the possession of our reporter, seated in the
audience, was yisibly affected. A large
