Dedication Of the Welsh Congregational
Church, BOwcry Street.

As many of your readers know, last
Sunday and Monday were the days ap-
pointed for the dedication of the Welsh
Congregational Church. The exercises
duly occurred and were all interesting.
Sermons in English by Rey's Waterman,
Bradford and Mckenzie and others; IN
Welsh, by Rcv's Owens, of Pa, Evans,
and Thomas. Large audiences attended
the services throughout, and were well
pleased with the exercises. Collections
were taken during the services, amounting
to over 500, which, considering the state
of the times, was pretty good. The church
was also presented with a splendid silver
plated Communion Service, the following
being engraved on the tiagon: TO the
Welsh Congregational Church, Frostburg,
Md by members of the LIST Congregational
Church. Baltimore, 1874"
The church takes this opportunity OF
thanking all their friends for their kindly
contributions. They also wish to thank
the ministers of the various churches in
town for their kindness in giving their
services j. l.. r.

Around Frostburg the season has been
generally unsatisfactory. While work has
not been as good as usual an excess of
laborcrs has diminished individual profits.
OF late seasons it has not been uncommon
for miners to draw from $50 to 500 month

ceeded $50. This has borne quite severely on

A WONDERFUL CAVE.

In the range of mountains in
western North Carolina, known
as the "Fork Range" a most sim
gular phenomenon exists. 1t is a
"breathing cave" In the sum-
mer months current Of air comes
from it so strongly that a person
can't walk against it, while in the
winter the suction is just as great.
The cool air from the mountain in
the summer is felt for miles in a
direct line fiom the mouth of the
cave. At times most unpleas-
ant odor is emitted upon the cur
rent from dead carcasses of ami
mails sucked in and killed by the
violence. The loss of cattle and
stock in that section is accounted
for in this way : They range too
near the mouth of the cave. and
the current carries them in. At
times, when the change from in
halation to exhalation begins, the
air is filled with various hair of
animals; not unfrequently bones
and whole carcasSes are found
miles from the place. The air has
been known to change materially
during the exhalation, from quite
cool TO upleasantly hot, whitening
vegetation within reach, and ac-
companied by terrible roaring,
gurgling sound, as pot boiling,
1t is unaccounted for by scientific
men who have examined it, though
no exploration can take place 1t
is feared by many that volcanic
eruption may break forth there
at any time.

AN HEROIC CASE.

When the yellow fever was at
its height in Shreveport two tele-
graph operators were among the
victims of the disease. 1t was OF
coursea matter of the gravest con-
sequence to the afflicted city to
keep open its communication
with the rest of the world, and
fortunately among the employees
of the Western Union Company
there was abundant gallantry and
self-sacrifice to meet the emer-
gency. Four men volun-
teered to fill the places
of their fallen comrades.
for the dangerous service; but
something of the same heroism
which animates a forlorn hope
must have filled the breasts
of these courageous men as they
fastened to the post of peril. Such
incidents, perhaps, are not I'M
common in this country, where
bravery is one of the
national virtues but neverthe-
less we are always quick to honor
them. Of two of the volunteers,
Davis and Buchanan, we know
nothing. A third, Saville, died at
his duty. A fourth met still more
melancholy fate, for, while he was
Drawing death for the sake of the
distressed, he was robbing the
company and squandering the
money in bar rooms and gambling
bells. The history of such man
reads like a tissue of contradic-
tions. But the truth probably is
that he hoped to conquer bad
habits and strong temptations by
one actof heroism, land his strength
failed him.

TOO MUCH FOR THE TEACHER

A class of four boys, about 16
years of age each, in Lansing, and
whose teacher was absent, were
turned over to the tender scrutiny
ofan old professor who was neither
loved nor liked by the class. 1t,
is the practice in this school to ap-
point one in each class treasurer
whose duty it is to collect the pen
MES and keep the records of the
class. The professor, therefore,
handed a small card to one of the
boys. saying, II appoint you
treasurer to day." The boy
looked at the card and handing
it to his classmate, said,,"I pass"
The second boy also muttered,
81 pass" on receiving it as he
passed it over to the third. No. 3
said, Il turn it down." and
handed it to the last boy, who
handing it back to the teacher,
remarked, 81 can't make it,"
The training those boys get at
home is one of the things the doc
tor don't comprehend.

The Illinois Legislature

The Illinois Legislature has
just passed a law making druken-
ness ON the part of railroad Of
ficials during the hours of en-
ployment a criminal offense. 1t
is one of the most sensible laws
that has ever been passed in the
United States on the subject of
drunkenness, since it distinguish
es between the habits of a private
person and the duty that public
official owes to the community, in
the exercise of his public SER
vices. The law might very
properly be extended to making
drunkenness a criminal offense in
the Illinois and other legislatures,
as pernicious legislation is as
likely to follow from the whisky
muddled deliberations of legisla-
tors and congressman as accidents
to trains are liable to result from
drunken engineers and brakemen.
1t is a poor rule that does not
work both ways.
