SLATE RIDGE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
We have received from the author, Rev. Jo-
seph ID. Smith, pastor of the Slate Ridge
Presbyterian Church, Il copy of very inter
esting discourse, delivered by him few
years ago, on the Origin and History of the
Slate Ridge Presbyterian Church, in Peach
bottom, York county, Pa"
We learn from Mr.. Smiths account that
the organization of this congregation it is
believed, dates back prior to the year 1850.
The honor and good work of constituting
this church, is generally attributed to the
Rev. Eleazer Whitlesey, native of New
England, who spent some time at Noting
ham, Cecil county, where Finley taught an
academy. Having been directed to ride
abroad and supply vacancies it is recorded
that in 1852 he preached at Muddy Run, where
appears TO have been the site ofthe first Pres
byterian Church in that ncighborhood.
MIR. Smith gives the following history of
this ancient and wcll.known church:
The first house conscrated to the worship
of God in this part Of the country, was IA log
DullulnS llcuI huuily SIcck. lTatllllOQ lnlil-
Gates the site of this first sanctuary 1t is at
the junction OF SCOTS Kun and Muddy Creek,
east OF the former and south of the latter.
Now, this appears an unsuitable place for q
church. 1t Is difficult to get to, OF from it.
We think the reason why this place was cho.
sen for the site OF their sanctuary was that it
was central to the people of Chanceiord and
| those living Mhcre we now dwell. When Il
house OF worship was built and a church or
| ganized i'll Chanceiord, more central and
convenient place was chosen by the members
of this church, on which to erect their house of
wor hip. Although difficult in getting to and
from it at present, yet the scenery around
the site of the old sanctuary is pleasing to
the eye. Two streams, running in opposite
directions,-the meeting OF the waters,-the
wooded range rising gradually behind where
the ancient sanctuary stood,-all unite in
forming one Of natures very pleasing pic
lures. 1t reminds one OF some of the places

tiers were wont to assemble and worship Je-

rary building" was erected near where Mr.
John Beatlie now lives. This building was
soon deserted, and third house of worship
was erected, either on or near the place where
we are now assembled. In the year 1852, a
fourth house of WORSHIP was built. 1t is de.
scribed as u new, better and fourth church,
built of squared logs, on the same site"
About the year 1900 this house was burned,
being set on fire, it is said, by an incendiary.
Soon after this, the present and fifth house

SAVED by THE SAGACITY OF A DoG.-In-
stances are numerous of the wonderful sagaci-
ty of dogs, but we think the following is
worthy of being added to the list
DR.. Geo. Thomas Hays, of the Cd district,
has very fine little terrier, which, being a
great pet, is allowed to sleep in the house
The inside doors are always left open so that
she can pass from one room to the other at
pleasure. About two o'clock last Sunday
morning she came into the Doctors bed
chamber, and seemed to be UNUSUAL v restless
The Doctor having been suffering for some
time with severe attack ofrheumatism, was
perhaps not in II mood as amiable as usual,
and accordingly he ordered the little creature
to lie down. The dog, however, did not
obey, but went into another room, where the
children were sleeping She failed to arouse
them, and returned to the Doctors room. Her
singular behavior caused him then to raise
up in bed to see what was the matter when
he noticed the reflection offire upon the walls
of the room. Forgetting his rheumatism he
sprang out Of bed, and upon looking out of
the window discovered that his meat house
was on fire, and the roof and one gable were
already nearly consumed. The whole family
were instantly aroused, and the fire prevent
ed from spreading. a large quantity of meat
had just been hung up bnt no smoke had yet
been made. A portion of the meat only was
saved, but in Il damaged condition. The
meat house was situated only about ten feet
from the dwelling but entirely out of view
from the Doctors room. The morning was
calm, but the slight air that was moving car
ried the sparks directly against the dwelling,
which, but for the sagacity of the little dog,
would in all probability have caught fire
When the family were aroused the little crea-
ture showed every demonstration of gratifica-
lion and Joy.
This terrier has little history of her own,
too. Her grandmother was in the famous
Kit Burns rat pit. in New York, and it is said
won more money for her owner, and killed
