A Ladies' Foreign Missionary Society was
organized here on the 28th ult. The follow
ing named officers were unanimously chosen:
President, Mrs Maggie Hayes; Vice Pres't,
Mrs Nancy Taylor; Sec'y, Miss Jennie Cald-
well; Cor. Sec, Mrs Aggie Pollock. The
meeting was opened by Rev w Moffatt,
who read various portions of Scripture. He
was followed in a lief discourse by Rev r q
Campbell. Each member is expected to con-
tribute at the rate of one cent day.
Thos Gillespie, Esq, held an examination of
his classes, an Tuesday, 9th ult, that being
the close of the school term at what is known
IS the Lyle School House. We presume the
exercises were conducted honestly, and an
expression of the people of the District shows
that the efforts of Mr. G. in behalf of his pu-
pills were duly recognized. Many of the ex-
ercises we're worthy of notice, but brevity
confines us to mention of orthography alone
the difference in number of words spelled
is to be accounted for by absence of pupils.

The Presbyterian church of this place,
Rev. Robert Alexander pastor, has been re-
vived greatly during the past two weeks. The
pastor has been holding series of meetings,
and his well directed labors have been crown
ed by great success. Fifty-six persons have
been received into the church on profession
aud three on certificate from other churches.
Communion services which were held on
Sabbath were of more than ordinary interest,
and the congregation partly owing to the fact
that no services were held in the other
churches was one of the largest which has
assembled in the town for many years. Rev.
munion services, and preached most accept
ably to the people.

THERE is q renewed interest felt in the des.
tiny Of the T. V. r. r. The soliciting COM
mittees in Wheeling have been laboring most
industriously to secure the requisite subscrip
tion $4,000 in Wheelng-this amount being
necessary from that city to bring sure promise
of the road. 80 far but $4,000 have been
secured, and the work begins to hang heavily
on the hands of its friends who feel that a
|misapprehension on the part of many may de-
feat the enterprise. 1t is thought by many
that the road will come anhow, hence it don't
need their immediate encouragement. This
is great mistake. Unless in good faith the
subscription is sswollen to the required amount
the road will not be built, and the idlers may
ss well know this fact. Earnest, quick, ener-
getic liberality will alone build the T. Y. R.

Paying a Bet.

During the campaign Clayton McCleary a
Democrat. and James Adams Republican,
both leading merchants in Harrisville, showed
their faith in the success of their respective
parties at the October State election, by wa
gering silk hat that it would he carried by
$4,000 Republican majority. Adams the Re
publican lost and paid the :!ager-whereupon
be wagered " against the Democrats new
hat that Hayes would he the next President,
and whoever lost the bet was to carry the
winner from one end OF town to the other on
a wheelbarrow. On Saturday wheelbarrow
was decorated with American flags. male
calf was trimmed out in mourning as repre-
sentative of the defeated bull dozers, the un-
lucky McCleary was harnessed in the barrow,
and the procession followed by the Cornet
Band playing a funeral march, moved over
the prescribed route through the village, much
to the amusement of all the citizens.
