Mr.. OLIVE, August 7th, 1874.
ArSSpc EDIT0RS

MESSRS. EDkIOhS
According to previ-i
GUS announcement, the festival and con,
cert came off at Mt. Olive Saturday and
Saturday night, the LIST of August. A large
concourse of people assembled early in the
morning; about nine O'Clock the bras
band from Strasburg arrived under tn e
leadership of Mr.. Charles Baltllis, and l
think can safely say it is equal to any n
the Valley. Shortly after the arrival OF
the band, there was grand march by the
Sunday School children and their teachers
from the Church to the speakers stand in
the grove, after which the band discours-
ed several of their finest pieces Of music,
which had most cheering effect upon the
audience, prayer was then offered by the
Rev. Gohene Balthis. The orator of the
day, Rev. ). T. Hyde, then took the stand
and addressed the large and attentive all-
dience.
His subject, 'sThe happy influence of the
Chtistia n. religion upon individuals and
Nations" showing forth clearly that nei-
ther individuals. nor. nations would prosper
where it is ignored, quoting as an evidence
the history OF ancien Greece and Rome,
once the pride aud glory of the world, but
now only visited BY travellers TO see their
former glory in ruins, ana all to be attrib-
uted to their having substantially ignored
vital goodness r s l
After the address the congregation re-
paired to the Church where they. were
most pleasantly entertained by Professors
Akin and Rudolph with their Estey
Church Organ, accompanied by tie stras,-
burg string band, discussing the finest
strains of music it has ever been our pleas
ure to hear. Dinner was finally announc-
ed. and can assure you that ample justice
was done to chickens, ham, light roles,
butter, pie, &C, which closed the days ex-
ereises with some little additional singing
and playing upon the organ.
In the evening the doors were opened
for the musical concert given by Profes-
sors Aiken and Rudolph /; the house was
soon filled, and everybody seemed to be
more than satisfied with the performance,
and thus closed the day and night.
On Sunday morning Rev. J. P. Hyde
preached toa very large and attentive ar-
dience from I'd Corinthians, 9TH chapter
and l4th and 10Th verses, showing forth
the life, death and suffering ofChrst for
fallen humanity, setting forth his divinity
as well as humanity in vivid and forcible
manner. During service, which lasted
about one hour and quarter, the congre-
CATION was as silent as though they we're
in the hour of death, ard there was scarce
ly dry eye to be seen. The people of
Mt. Olive win ever be grateful to Rev. j.
2. Hyde for his ministerial services in their
midst, and we pray when he lays off his
mortal cares bright crown may be await
ing him in mansions above.
must close my hasty letter lest L be-
come wearysome, the proceeds of the day
will aid us very much in the repairs of the
Church. Truly yours,
NORTH MOUNTAIN.

Vur Trip to Luray.
To witness the triumph of our boys-The
Valley Star Base Ball Club, friend and
myself started last Friday evening for Luz
fray, where on the following day they were
to pks5F a match game of base ball with the
page Valley. Club. Night overlook us by

was intense and thero NTas far from be-

accident until wereaehed the South river,
then, just as we left the grade to follow
the road down the river to the ford, we
heard a crash followed by loud aohoa
from our fliend Z. B. who was driving the
. conveyance containing four. young men
Immediately in our rear. My friend at;
once jumped from the buggy and az few
steps brought him to the spot from whence
we heard the crash and the earnest appeal

dition of affairs, f. had driven on bank
some four feet in hight, upsetting the Magg-

though my friend had been on the ground
! for some moments and was holding the
horse. As for the other occupants of the
| wagon, they were SO badly scared that
| they insisted upon returning t1lstanter to

ages were trifling and in few minutes we
| were again on the road pursuing our jour-
| ney to Luray, which place we reached at

vance OF the rest OF the party.
At 4o'clock Saturday morning our boys
were besri ring themselves in preparation
for the match game, which was to take
place at ga. m. The morning was cloudy
| and threatening, and about o'clock it was
raining hard with every indication of a
rainy day. Before 10 O'Clock. however,
the rain ceased, and at :6s a. M, with the
| Page boys at the bat the game began.
The first inning convinced US that they
meant business ten runs, With
pride and confidence we saw our boys go

! our confidence shaken, rs they made but
one run. THUS the game proceeded until

Fire Of the Round House Of the G. s Or. 3.
On the 9th Of August, about o'clock
in the morning there, was an alarm OF
fire sounded, which turned out to be from
the round-house 6f the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad Company. The fire origi-
mated In an old woodea blaeksmith-shop
adjoining the round-house, and took hold
upon the flooring, and the sheeting on
which the slate roof was fastened. that
being about the only material on which
1t could feed. There is nothing left
standing but the walls. Opinions differ as
to whether they will do without being
rebuilt. They are said to be sprung and
cracked. The house was full of engines
all of which might have gotten out but
for the fact that one became, by some
misinanagement, entangled in the turn
table, rendering 1t useless, SO the rest
could not be moved far from the fire
The extent of the loss will depend upon
the utility of the old wall. IF that is
good, it will not be short Of $4,000, in
Guiding two engines entirely, and three
partially destroyed. This falls very heavily
on the company at this time, as their
utmost energies were taxed to carry the
fast increasing freight on this line.
There seems to have been great relniss-
ness on the part of some. one. l do not
know whose duty 1t was, but at the
com mencemcnt OF the fire, when it
was desired by Mr.. King to apply the
hose to the tank built high enough to
flood the buildings, and water enough to
run haitian hour to an hour, it was found
that there was no arrangement for the
purpose, and the building was permitted
to burn with water almost OH the top of
1t sufficient to have put it out three
times over. The fire company, from the
city responded promptly. but the distance
was SO great, and the engines so heavy
and without horses, that the fire was
too far advan~el for them to be abe
to combat it. Besides lack of hose
without which they are powcrless-the
engine was placed in the creek, md put
out the fire after the roof fell in, which it
did in sections. with = great noise. The

drawing on the 30.h inst deem it due to the trust
confded to me by the ticket holders and the Public
Library Of kentucky, that short postponement be
made to enable to dispose of the unsold tickets
and have full drawing. Though the very large
amount now in bank would enable us to distribute
handsome gifts, yet we should feel disappointed in
this our last concert, should we be compelled to
make fractional drawing, however large.
We have received so very large q number OF
letters from all parts of the country from those
most largely interested urging postponement
if all the tickets be not sold by the 30th, that VIC
feel strengthened in our sense of duty to the
ticket holders and to the Public Library, to make
the postponement. Under the circumstances, We
have determined, in the interest of all palties to
postpone the concert and drawing to saturday,
February 81, 1875, at which time the drawing will
positively take place. and, rs a guarantee of good
Iath towards ticket holders, we pledge ourselves
to refund to any ticket holder his money, upon
presentation OF his ticket, should the drawing fail
to come off at the day now fixed The past, we
feel assured, will be sufficient guarantee to all in
ercsted that they will be fairly and honestly dealt
with The money paid for tickets is sacrcdly pre-
served against all contingencies until after the pay

be reimbursed and the Public Library is to be paid

A Card to the Public.

A Short POstponement of the Fifth Gift
Concert.
As manager Of the gift concerts given in aid Of
the Public Library Of kentucky, my position
creates an important trust in behalf of the Public
Library and the ticket holders of the fifth gift
concert. The public Library of Kentucky and the
ticket holders jointly interested in the amount
of the drawing. The larger the fund to be dis
tributed in gifts the greater will be the gift award
ed to each lucky ticket holder and the more the
amount Il allied by the Library. To have full
drawing is so manifestly to the interest of those
