At the evening session the Rev. DR.. Edison, of
Indianapolis, delegate from the Presby terrain
Church, and the Rev. VIM. II. Rice, Of Philadel-
phia, delegate from the synod of the
Mofavian Church, were welcomed. The Rev.
w. IL. III. Murray read a paper on chow to
preach the gospel efficiently to The masses" In
his opinion a stock of theology was not neces-
sary for this, but athorough knowledge and APP
probation of the nature OF the average man and
a personal experience OF Gods power. hut no
provision has been made for preaching to the
masses. Ministers are barricaded in the pulpit
and doors of churches barred except to the rich.
Provision for the masses must be n ade before
the subject of his paper could in his
opinion become one to be considered.

The Carlisle Volunteer says on a recent
Sunday evening, as the contribution box
was being passed around in one Of our

with chew of Tobacco in his mouth, was in
such haste to deposit his contribution that
he threw it upon the floor, and spit in the
box, thus affording another illustration OF

Excitement in q Churchill will be
remembered that at the September term
of court Mr.. Jesse Dearing was tried
on the charge of having disturbed the
exercises of literary society, and was
sentenced to pay fine of one dollar
and costs of prosecution, which amounted
to $44.81, "and stand committed till the
sentence was complied with" Failing to
meet the requirements of the sentence, he
was placed in Jail, where he was allowed
the largest possible freedom by the Sheriff.
Finally, on the representation of the priso-
ner's friends that the matter would be
satisfactorily settled, Sheriff Knouse very
generously permitted Dearing to go at
large, and waited very patiently for the
parties interested to come forward and
make good their promises. Weeks rolled
by, and the time was rapidly approaching
for the Sheriff to make out his official re-
port, and still the affair remained unad-
justed. The Sheriff, not wishing to pay
the amount named in the sentence, made
several attempts to re-arrest Dearing but
all in vain, as he always managed to make
his escape. The matter thus continued
until Friday evening last, when informa-
tion was received at the Sheriffs Office to
the effect that Dearing was in attendance
at a religious meeting then in progress
in the Licking Creek Lutheran Church,
to which place the Sheriff repaired and
took his seat in the congregation. He
anxiously waited until the benediction
had been pronounced and the congregation
regularly dismissed, when he spied his man
in the front part of the church surrounded
by number of friends, who were engaged
in singing. When the Sheriff discovered
there was little prospect of an early adj
journment, he grew impatient, and went
forward and quietly requested Dearing to
accompany him which he refused to do,
and was sustained by the pastor and num-
Der Of friends in his resistance. At last
matters began to wear serious aspect,
whereupon the Sheriff drew his revolver
and forced obedience to the law. The af-
fair created quite an excitement, and every
fair-minded person cannot do otherwise
than sustain Sheriff Knouse in the per-
formance OF his duty. The matter has
since been settled by complying with the
demands of the court.-Mifflintown Hlde-
