Church Dedication at Nealsville.

Mr. Editor According to the announce
ment through the county papers the new
Presbyterian church at Nealsville was dedi-
Gated on last Sabbath.
Notwithstanding the heat there was a very
large assemblaee of persons from different
portions of the county The church is finely
located, its plan and arrangements reflect
great credit on the building committee. The
style of architecture may perhaps be called
senii gothic stain glass windows, SO arranged
us to freely ventiate the building. The cost
Of the church so far is about S2500, all of this
is paid. The house will be heated by q fur
mace in the basement.
The pastor, Rev. Mr.. Henderson, was as
sisted by the Rev. DR.. Sunderland, of Wash
ington City, who delivered an impressive
sermon, founded on the 9th verse of the 37lh
chapter of the Prophesy of Ezekiel" My taber-
nacle also shall be with them yea, will be
their GOD, aud they shall be my people,
The DR.. showed that God had been faithful
to his covenant during all ages, and that he
had withheld his blessing at times on account
of the sin and disobedience of bis people.
The singing was admirably executed und Ell
the leadership of Prof. Sike, of Washington
City, assisted by choir from the neighbor-
hood, the chauis anthems and hymns
were very appropriate. The accomplishments
were performed on an organ by Prof. Sike.-
Al the close OF inc morning service state
ment was made oy Mr.. Henderson, giving the
reasons why the new church was built, its
cost and that as the church now stands it has
been paid for, that the funds for furnishing
the furnace have been promised. The sitting
room of the church was principally occupied
hv the ladies, numbers of gentlemen stood mp,
There were supposed to be in the house some
three hundred persons, and about as many
more outside. The capacity Of the church
will seat about two hundred pe:s ons comfort
ably. At half past three there was another
sermon by Dr. Sunderland, his text was from
9Th chapter of Mathew, 22nd verse, 1.-THE
light OF the body is the eve if therefore thine
eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of
light"
In this sermon the DR.. showed mp the falla-
cies Of Paine, Voltaire and Ingersoll, but want
of space forbGs me entering upon an outline
OF this sermon. There was much original
thought nterspersed throughout the whole
discourse.
During the intermissiOn many partook Of
their dinners. We noticed among the crowd
quite number Of ex-candidates at last year 5
primaries. But they were not half 80 glad to
see you nor did they shake your hand so
heartily as they did year ago; they failed to
enquire Of the health of your better half and
the little ones at home. What Shakespeare
| says Of man that hath no music in his soul
would very APPLY apply TO the politician of the
present day.
My friend who accompanied me and myself
were so well entertained that we did not reach
home until nine o'clock at night V.

Reclaimed.-The Baltimore american OF
Friday last records the following case OF the
redemption Of young woman Of this county
from house Of i'll fame in Baltimore:
"Justice Morse yesterday committed Hester
A. Hawkins, girl Of lG, to st. Mary's In
dustrial School for Girls. She was eniiccd
away from her home in Montgomery county
by young man with whom she had been as
sociating, and being unable to obtain work
she went to the house Of Kate Wood on Dali
las street. Her mother was informed Of her
whereabouts, but sent word that she was too
poor TO support her, aud desired that she be
sent to a reformatory institution. Kate Wood
was arrested, but there being no evidence that
she harbored the girl, the Squire dismissed
her.

II. i. MooRE, Respected Friend:
Before saying anything about tho
Haymaker, will refer briefly 10 my ex-
perience with Agricultural Machinery.
| have owned three different Thrcshers
and Horse Powers. two combined Reap
ers aud Mowers, one Hubbard Mower
for sixteen years, and the Haymaker
has been the most satisfactory piece of
machinery | have had on my farm. On
its Introduction here was induced 10
try one, notwithstanding my repugnance
to its mysterious II o.ion, and the result
was my utter surprise at the case with
which heavy and even wcedy grass falls
before so tiny machine, and as a Lawn
Mower, | have not seen its equal, cut
ting as il does close under trees and
up TO shrubs and plants. The expenses
so far have been one bolt for track
cleaner, half-a-dozcn sections, which arc
still on hand. My man says he has one
fault with the Haymakor, il does not
make noise enough to keep him awake
when riding on the seat, hence he has to
walk behind bis team.

State and County Taxes.-The State

State and County Taxes.-The State
and County tax for the present fiscal year on
the 800 is Sl.o7. The State imposes 1872
cents of the amount, while the County i'm
poses sS1 cents. Last years tax on the 500
was 50 cents-l7 cents for the State and rs
for the County. This year we have an in
crease over last year of IL cents. This n-
crease arises from no prodigality of the Com
missioners, for they have worked with the
lone purpose of economzng but from an in
crease in the amount of every bill presented
for work done and articles needed. The new
work at the Jail and Aims House and the
TRANSFERRING AT the Clerks and Registers Of
fees impose an additional tax unusual to other
years. Following are the heaviest debts in
CURED that are unusual to past years and q
tax will never be levied for the same purpose
again for generations to come
The Aims House cost 81 ,OO0 Jail, 81, 900
transcribng of records in the Clerks office, by
order of the Court, 5000; ,ranscribing of
records in the Registers Office, by order Of the
Legislature, $500; extra work on roads, ST.
500 additional Pensioners get $500; to the
$4,000 for the payment OF Court expenses,
(aud the amount proved not TO be enough by
several hundred dollars for last year, has been
added levy of $3.50 These amounts make
a total of $3.50 Mr.. fancy, the Clerk TO
the Commissioners, has informed us tina, an
explanatory statement Of the increase will be
published with the statement of receipts and
expenditures in a week or so.

Fort Fisher subdued.-on

Fort Fisher Subdued On Tuesday
last Sheriff Clements discharged from the
position as jalor Chas. Fisher and placed
John Dowd in charge. The people of the
county have been very much displeased at
Fisher filling the position ever since the escape
of several prisoners recently. The escape Of
Others is apprehended. Moved by this fear
Mr.. Samuel Darby applied to the Court Tues
day for removal of George Jones, whom he
had had committed to Jail for breaking in his
house, to the Frederick Jail for safety. The
Court had no governing precedent to author
ize the removal, and to allay dissatisfaction
requested the Sheriff to make a change in his
jail-keeper, which be did promptly.

1T has been my misfortune to spend
considerable amount of money in trying
to get a Mower which was in all respects
satisfactory. After using several ma
chimes and seeing several others at work,
| came across the Champion Haymaker,
was so much pleased with its simplicity,
almost noiseless motion, easy drops, &C.,
that | determined to purchase one, which
| used the past season in heavy grass,
and can say with an easy conscience that
| believe it is the nearest to perfect of
any Mower in the market.

Remarkable Success.

The success of the leading literary
paper of the West. THE CHICAGO
LEDGER, is truly remarkable. Since
its introduction to the reading public,
six years ago, THE LEDGER has
steadily advanced in favor, and is now
acknowledged second to no paper of
the kind in the country. Its circula-
tion is national, and has been OBJ
tanned through the efforts of its pub
fishers to produce a paper of high
moral character, and at the same time
sell it at y price consistent with the
present hard times. That they have
succeeded, and well, too, the thou
sands of readers of The LEDGER scat
tered from Maine to Texas and from
Oregon to Florida will bear testimony.
TIE CHICAGO LEDGER is large
forty eight column weekly paper,
which contains stories both complete
and continued, in each number, writ.
ten by the best authors of the day, and
great variety of information interest
ing to every one. The subscription
price of THE LEDGER is only $l.50 per
year, postage paid, and it is equal in
every particular to other papers of the
same character which sell for So a
year. Three copies of this valuable
paper will be sent to any one who
sends 10 cents and their address to
THE LEDGER, Chicago Ill.
