Corner Stone Laying at FallstOn,

The corner stone ofthe proposed new Pres
byterian Church near the town of Fallston,
was laid on Friday before large assemblage,
with the joint ceremonies of the Church and
Masonic order.
The exercises were begun by the singing of
the grand hymn of Watts, Jesus shall reign"
followed by an impressive invocation led by
Rev DR.. Roberts, Chaplain of the order.
An address pronounced by Rev. Mr.. Pax
ton succeeded The speaker was very un-
cleli looking clergyman, and in his style
quite startled us by It's violent Eruption from
the staid and orderly prophecies Of his profess
sion. But there lay the secret of charm
which grasped every eye, ear and heart in the
audience. His first paragraph was wound
up with thunder shower and stampede for
the nearest cover, but speaker and hearers
returned after the rain was spent, with I'M
dampened cheeIfumess, but again and finally
to be dispersed by the elements. This des-
pte unpropitious circumstances, the address
created the universal determination to seize
the first opportunity to hear the altogether

AS the shadows of twilight mournfully
gathered about the scene, the orator in pa
thetic terms paid his tribute of affection ant
respect to the memory of the venerable Rev
w. Finney.
At the close of the address, the dim fores
aisles were again made resonant with TN
triumphant measures of Coronation"
'All hail the power ofJesus' name,"
and with the apostolic benediction the cere
