REHABILITATION OF AN OLD CHURCH,
The old Church of st. Thomas in Alexandria
has been rehabilitated., This church was
founded somewhere about 1750--the precise
date is not known-being probably the first
house erected in this part Of the colony for re-
ligious worship. 1t stands at the edge of a
burying ground which abounds in headstones
with last century dates. A visitor says he
saw one grey and mossgrown stone which had
marked the resting place of one who died
in 1874, " and another which is inscribed with.
the name of one who fell asleep in 1776, the
birth-year of the Republic. The building,
which is of stone, years ago went to decay,
but during the past Summer Hon. +. A. Potts
had it completely reconstructed" and ON
the 10th of October it was reopened for the
worship of God by Bishop Scarborough, as
sisted by other clergymen of note. The
church is beautifully located, with little belt
of woodland close by, and magnificent pros
pect spread out on every side and it must be-
come in the future as it was at one time in
the past centre of moral activity as well as
an important factor in the promotion Of good
neighborhood and warmer social life.--
Hunt6rdon Democrat.

RATHER ILLoGICAL.--The Institute Cana
diem insist upon burying the very late and
troublesome M. Guibord, of of Montreal, in
consecrated ground and in a Catholic ceme-
terry. The Bishop suggests a sensible COM
promise. Guibord's estate has right to the
ground, which It bought and paid for before
he ever dared to read a book or two, which
he never did read, against the introduction of
the Church. The Bishop thinks that the
civil authority gives Guibord's remains a sort
of safe desposit in the cemetery, but as a
means of asserting himself and avoiding the
possible harm which might accrue to the
souls of other corpses lying in the neighbor-
hood, he has cursed the ground in which
Guibord is to be placed. HI
The Institute Canadien does not care to set
tie on the basis. They insist that their friend
shall not be cursed, nor shall the anathema
rest upon the soil in which he lies. In this
they are very illogical. They cannot stop the
cursing, and they ought not to care much
about it. Why not bury Mr. Guibord, who
has been dead six years, and take the chances
ON the ecclesiastical action? They are nearer
right in their scheme, of preventing any vio-
lotion of the grave by planting a lot Of ex-
plosives In and around his coffin, which would
blow up zealots who disturb his bones. Still
it is hard upon Guibord that he should be
planted in such dangerous contact, with only
the alternative of being cursed or burst.

after the singing of the Gloria from Mazart's
Twelfth Mass, by the chorirs of the different
Churches under the direction of Prof Hoff-
man, W. B. Wilkinson, Esq, Chairman of
the State Executive Committee, gave the call
of the Convention and congratulated it on its
9Th annual gathering. The reading of Scrip
sure by Rev. r. A. Chaiker, of the M. E.
Church, and prayer by Rev. G. r. Thomas, of
the Baptist Church, followed.
Rev. p. A. Studdiford d. D., of the Pres
byterian Church, then heartily welcomed the
convention in a fitting address, and was fol-
lowed ON behalf of the Y. M. G. Association
of this city by the President, Clark Pierson.
The welcome addresses were responded to
in happy manner by Prof. w, F. Sherwin,
of Newark, who was unexpectedly called up
on in the absence of G. III. johnson, Esq,
President of the Convention.
After singing 6" ] have Waited for the
Lord, by the choir, an address was delivered
by DIR. G. S. Stockton, President of the New
ark Y. M. C. A. Subject" Without me ye can
do nothing" This was carefully prepared and
was an able presentation of the subject. He
was followed by Rev. w. II. Bergfels, of
Bellville /; subject" God our stronghold and
help" This was an earnest and effective adj
dress and calculated to give inspiration to
Christian workers.
Prof Sherwin, of Newark, then sung
" Hold the Fort'' with fine effect and the
meeting closed with the benediction by Rev.
DIR. McKown, of Jersey City.
The singing both by the choir and by Profs.
johnson and Sherwin, was excellent and was
grand feature of the occasion.
The handsome floral decorations in the
church were the work of the ladies, who are
to be congratulated on their excellent taste.
To-day and tomorrow the meetings will be
continued, closing tomorrow Thursday ev-
ening.
Services each day commence at $50 A. M,

The truth of the saying that " it is an i'll
wind that blows good to nobody" is striking
ly illustrated in the case Of Calves ton, Texaf.
The rec, mt Cyclone has had very beneficial
effect upon the harbor of that city, and will
probably have the effect Of giving great i'm
pulse to its commercial Importance. Hither-
to lar vessels could not sail up to the warv'
lein unable to pass over the bar. Liverpool
and other large steamers were consequently
obliged to unload in the lighters. The cyclone
has washed out the channel several feet and
removed the bar, 50 th.t the largest vessels
can now pass up to the docks full laden.

eB Taking advantage of the absence of
the people at the Fair, three young thieves at
tempted raid on Three Bridges on Wednes-
day last. They broke into the saloon of
Jacob Thatcher and stole a coat and small
sum of money, but were discovered and pur-
suit Of them made. Their pursuers lost sight
of them, and were about giving up the hunt,
when they were discovered hidden in the top
of a tree. They were brought to Flemin gton
and delivered into the care of Sheriff Bells.

QUITE RELIc.-Last week an old iron
chest was sent to the Delaware Rolling Mill
to be put upon the scrap heap. 1t was tight
ly secured by lock with radiating bolts and
for some time defed vigorous attack of
sledges. 1t was at last broken open, and in
side was found number of Spanish silver
coins dated 1774 and 1903. The bottom was
of triple thickness two sheets of sheet iron
with the effigy of an old Spanish Grandee
stampel ON one of them, and between them a
II inch plate of the finest charcoal iron. The
chest bore the signs of age aud was of antique
workmanship, and no doubt has an interest
ing history. 1t might have been the treasure
chest of some old Don, and its interior have
glstened with the gold aud jewels from the
palaces of the Incas.-FAslIipsburg Democrat.
