CHURCH DEDIcATIoN.-The new
M. f.. Church building at Marysville
was DEDICATED last Sabbath, Bishop
Hoven, of Georgia conducting the cer-
emonies. The building cost 81, 023 be-
sides the furnishing, carpets, cur
tains, pulpit fixtures, ETC., which. were
paid for with money collected, by the
Ladies, Mite Society. Previous to the
dedicatory ceremonies, an. amount
$3.50 sufficient to pay an indebtness
against the church, building was con
tributed; and the house now stands
clear Of debt, noble monument to the
enterprise Of the people Of an enterpri-
sing town. In addition. to the contri-
buttons for this purpose, subscriptions
to the amount of $le0 were taken, to
assist In purchasing an organ for the
church. We learn from gentleman
who was present that about one thou
sand persons were present. The occa-
sion was one of such unusual and PEE
culiar interest as to call together this
very large throng of people.

A SENSATION IN PLEAsANTvILLE.--
A few days ago Pleasantviile was en-
livened with quite street scene. One
Of the leading officials Of that place got
into a difYiculty with an attorney con-
cerniDG an arrest that had been made
some time previous. Getting into
pretty wanna words, the official made
for the. header Of Blackstone, with q
scantling. That worthy, understand
ing his ability as a runner, lit out and
after leaving sufficient space interven-
ing between them, proceeded to place
himself on 'fwar basis y and at once
drew forth his pocket derringer. Just
at this stage Of the game the worthy
official thought he could "see the
point" and called u halt, and here the
matter rested until the young disciple
OF Blackstone could make out the nee
essary papers, and he had the worthy
official put under Arrest for an assault
and battery, which case Is now pend
ing la the courts Of that rural little
village. Monroe Herald.
