New Territory Talk.

Washington, Dec. 31.-A sub-com-
mittee of the House committee on Ter
ritories to-day heard Colonel Z. G..
Brearly in reply TO the argument re-
Gently made by Delegate w. W. Cor
lett, of Wyoming, against the organic
alton of the proposed new Territory of
Lincoln. Col. Brearley presented sta
tistiss and other information by which
he claimed to demonstrate that the
Black Hills country is occupied by n
large and permanent population of men,
and that the mines are proving to be
among the most productive in the
world; that the people need a terrific
rial government to protect them in
their rights and property, and that
especially in view of their isolated coz
dition the proposed territorial organic
alton is ~imperatively demanded.
Judge J. r. Whitehead, another
delegate from the Hills, followed in the
same line of argument, sustaining
these positions of his colleague.

Our ConareaatlOnaI Church. !


At the very interesting evening SER
vice at the Congregational church,
Sunday, the pastor, Rev. C. NJ. Sanders,
made the following exhibit: In August,
1875, there were II members and n
church which had then been closed for
nearly two years. Now there are about
40 families and nearly 200 persons iden-
titled with the church. The ladies are
united and working earnestly and eff
fectively. The sum of $4,000 was
raised during the first year, and during
the second year $4,000. OF the larger
amount the ladies raised $500 and the
Sabbath school S235. Up to date about
81 5000 has been raised. In September,
1875 the Sabbath school was reorgan-
lied, having then but few members,
while the attendance now averages 113.
The pastor also made an interesting
statement OF the amount of work
done by him during the last year. Fine
music was furnished during the even
ing by the Quarterte, Mrs. Charles
Masten and Miss Lotaie Smith.
