We had the pleasure a few days since
OF visiting the Banking and Insurance
Office of Charles Handy and of eN:tinin-
ing the new improved Halls safe with
burglar attachments, and it is certainly
one OF the most complete safeguards
against burglars and fire we have ever
seen. and owing TO the great cost, i,
rarely ever used outside OF die larger
cities.
We are glad TO note the encouragement
Mr.. Handy has met with from our mer-
chants and business men since the open
ing of his banking house, and no one is
better qualified, from his long connection
with the business interests of oar city
his un4ouh,ed character ami business
capacity than Mr.. Handy.

discs o.: mis- ovsv.s,u.y popular
school, and were more than pleased
to witness the proficiency of Its pu-
pills. Never, in our experience,
have we known boys, of the age OF
tn ose in attendance at Prof. Wat
tcrson's school, 10 manifest greater
proficiency. We were especially
impressed with tho readiness OF
their answers to questions and the
int, lligent manner in which they
expressed themselves.
Prof. Watterson deserves great
credit for the care and attention he
has bestowed,in imparting instruction
to the pupils under his charge. His
school ought TO be sustained, and if
it is not, our citizens, who have boys
to educate, will have done unwisely.
Our city needs just such a school,
and Just such teacher, in fact, we
have had no such school, no such
teacher, in our midst since the war.
Both the school and the teacher are
an honor to our city, and blessing
to our youth.

An excursion train, of twenty

On las. Sunday. uHE ig.aaes ~ IT,"
C1.cred baptist Church, Of West
Canton, Dedicated tLei. lew church
-G.Gco. tic building has been
i'll course Of erection for some
months past, going up by degrees,
little by little, in prop orton to the
small means of the members OF the
congregation, who, with their pas
tor, Rev. Jordan Williams, have
been most energetic and untirins
in their efforts to raise the means
for its completion. Last Sunday
found them seated in their new
church, which though plain, is yet
substantial, tit memorial of their
labors and temple that is as much
approved by the great Jehovah as
those built of marble and gilded
DER with shining brass. A num-
Der of our white citizens were pres
ent to witness the sacred ceremony
of the dedication.
THE EXERCISES
commenced by the singing of an APP
propriatc hymn, in which the en-
tire congregation joined their voices
Then followed the reading of the
Scriptures,by Rev. Jordan Williams,
from LIST Kings, 9Th Chapter. At
ter the reading of the Scriptures n
most eloquent prayer was offered
by the Rev. Drew Jones, followed
by the singing of the 943 Hymn.
THE TEXT
was the 9th verse of tho 9Th CHI. of
the LIST book of Kings. "But will
God indeed dwell on the earth,"
We will not attempt to review
the discourse, suffice it to say the
Rev. Jordan Williams had his SER
mon carefully prepared and writ
ten and delivered it in an eloquent,
forcible and impressive manner.
At the close of tho sermon a for
vent prayer was offered up by Rev.
Small, after which very beau
tiful hymn from the "Gem" was
sung by the choir.
THE PRESENTATION
of the church to God wac then
made by the Pastor, who stated
that before he could consistently
give tho temple to the Most High it
would DO necessary to discharge
the debt that incumbercd it. 70
do this, he said he must rely upon
the generosity of the congregation
and invited contributions. In q
very short time sufficient contribu-
lions were brought forward, and
the church was given to the Lord.
We congratulate our colored
friends upon their good work and
hope that they will grow in Enowl-
edge and grace and reap full re-
ward for their labors in their Mas
ter's vineyard.

This house is too well known TO require any attes-

pursue in the matter Of the introduction of remedies
to the public will be characterized by fair dealing
honest purpose and earnest endeavor, while reap.
ing their just pecuniary reward, to relieve suffering

While it is not province within the scope OF
ability to enter into any discussion to the mer-

not be resisted that the constitutional Catarrh Rem

Hendricks's record during the war was
most disloyal. He secured his election to
the United States Senate through the influ-
ence of the Knights of the Golden Circle,
and his vote was always cast against the
constitutional amendments. When Mr..
Lincoln was killed, he made speech at
indianapolis, in which he had not the cour-
age or decency to express word of sor-
row at the assassination.
The following anecdote is related by the
Norwich (Chenango Coz n. Y. Telegraph I:
Last week Judge Follett, of this village,
was holding court at Delhi. On Friday
morning, during lull in business, Hon.
William Houman, Jr., well known to the
people of this district as an expensive lux
ury, arose in his place, and with all the dig
nifty which he so we'll knows how to put
on, announced that he had just received
despatch from St. Louis announcing the
nomination of Samuel j. Tilden as the
Democratic nominee for Pre-! ident of the
United States, and moved in honor there
of that the court do now adjourn Judge
Follett said: 1T Is a custom always honor
