News from CoIerain,

Mr.. EDIToR:-The Concert, for the
benefit. of the Presbyterian Chuch at
Pennington, came off Friday evening,
June 6. 1t was in every regard, a
splendid success. The weather, the
performances, the good order all COM
bined to make it a delightful occasion.
The Church is one of the neatest and
most comfortable houses in the county
and reflects great credit on all con-
cerned in its construction. Out of
debt-with "peace within its walls and
prosperity within its palaces"-a pros
porous and happy future we trusts be-
fore it. A commendable spirit of in
terest actuates the good people of the
community-and spirit of earnest
ness-that will insure success-is appa-
rent on every hand. This is all the
more gratifying as the Congregation
has struggled hard for place amongst
Gods people. And the whole commu-
nity:may well, and we believe do, feel
proud Of the success of this move ment,
who's every influence is to ennoble
and elevate their better Natures-and
lead them higher and higher in the
walks of hOlier and happier life-and
to finally christianize and educate. them
into the "hope of the Gospel' the full
fruition of which is-increased prosper
ity and happiness here-and pleasures
immortal beyond the skies. For
righteousness Exalteth nation-but
sin is a reproach to any people," The
Concert netted, we should think near
ly or quite a hundred dollars, the house
was packed and many stood outside
The Order was unexceptionably good
the closest and most respectful atten-
ton marked the conduct of all. Such
decorum and cOmmendable behavior
is worthy Of public notice and surely
reflects deserved credit on all interest
