Our Presbyterian friends have concluded to
build church. Lots have been purchased on
the corner Of Lawrence avenue and First
street. For the accommodation of their coll
gregatl0n it will be necessary to erect a build
ing 40xTO. The desire is to build of brick,
twenty feet side walls, with arched ceiling and
spire. We hope they may meet with proper
encouragement. for such building would not
only prove permanent, but be an ornament
to the city. Last year our people gener-
ou.ly aided the NefhOjIsts and Catholics.
This year we must help others. 1t is
duty We owe ourselves, our families and
the city which we are trying to build. regard
less Of our religious convictions, or whether
we have any belief whatever. Every property
holder should make his contributions toward
the erection Of churches in new place like
ours and these contributions should be made
in amount just in proportion to the value Of
the contemplated church buildings. Fine
churches, and fine school houses, and fine
homes are what make surrounding property
valuable-are what make city attractive and
desirable for wealthy HON: seekers-and just
in proportion as We excel in those things. just
in that proportion will we attract wealth and
population, and consequent prosperity. Let
our Presbyterian friends keep these PROPOSE
tons in view whe., they come to decide upon
the style and size of their new temple, not for
getting that men of the world and business

A Manual of Health.

An edition of between nine and ten millions
of copies of very useful work is now ready
for gratuitous distribution, and can be had for
the asking at any drug store in the United
States, the British Colonies, Spanish America
or Brazil. The work referred to is Hostetter's
Almanac for 1874. The medical portion OF it
treats of the various ailments to which the hu-
man system is subject, and sets forth the pc
culiar properties of Hostetters Stomach Bitters
the purest and best tonic at present known
as preservative of health and strength, and as
q remedy for debility and disease. The Alma
nae is printed in all the principal languages of
the civilized world, and reaches a larger num-
Der of families and individuals than any other
medical treatise that ever issued from the press
No man or woman who has due regard for
that choicest of heavens blessings, bodily vigor,
should fail to read the plain, simple and con-
vincing articles which this truly practical publ
cation contains The miscellaneous matter is va
ried, instructive and amusing, and the calendar
department copious and comprehensive. Hos
letters Almanac is, in short, a household con-
venience, adapted to the use of all classes ana
callings. The farmer, the planter, the miner,
the merchant, the mechanic, the laborer, the
professional man, all need it; and to invalids
of both sexes it is literally article of prime
necessity. The medical technicalities which
render so many medical treatises intended for
popular use unintelligible to the general read
er, have been carefully avoided in this PAM
phIet All is clear, explicit, forcible, and recon-
cilabIe with reason and common sense.
The proprietors, Messrs. HosteIter & Smith
Pittsburgh, Pa, on receipt of two cent stamp
will forward copy by mail to any person
who cannot procure one in his neighborhood.

The banging of the Court House door
became SO annoying that the shutters
were taken down and hung on the out
side, and light frames covered with cloth
hung on the inside. The plan now is to
leave the outside doors open during the
day. and keep the light doors closed.
One OF them is usually shut, and the
other drawn shut by weight attached
to cord. The cord passes over a pulley.
This would be almost noiseless, only the
pulley screaks, howles and whistles every
time the door is opened or shut. We
suggested to some of the officers that il
would take only about two minutes tc
put drop of oil upon this pulley, but nc
one seems to care, and the Court, wit
nesses, attorneys, jurors, litigants, ant
the public generally, are prevented from
hearing what they have right to hear
by the constant screeching of this rust!
pulley.
