THE Minister of tho Interior has been in
Railway or Patent Slip, for which an appro-
priation was made by the last Legislative AS
sembly, with an engineer accustomed to works
of this kind, Mr. Crandall, who has recently
constructed similar work for New Bedford.
Mr.. Crandall having been furnished with re-
ports and drawings of the profile of the bot
tom Of that part of the harbor where it is
proposed to construct the railway, is of opin-
ion that q slip or railway capable of drawing
ships of 1000 tons unloaded might be built
here for about 100000. To make assurance
donbly sure, however, the Interior office has
invited Mr.. Crandal himself to come here,
and 30 by personal knowledge, report more
thoroughly as to what may best be done with
the appropriation. The matter will be thor
oughly investigated before put in hand.

THE CALIFORNIAN. - The October number
of this sterling periodical is in point of ability
and interest quite up to the standard of any of
its predecessors. 1t has indeed been matter
of surprise that in such delving, moncy-Cct-
ting community as that Of the Golden State &c
large an amount Of first class literary talen,
could have been found as is evidenced by the
pages of the Californian. 1t ia to be hoped that
unlike the previous monthly, the Overland,
this latter enterprise will live and become per :
rnanent. II q constantly growing tone of ro-
hnement and literary excellence constitutes
any sign of stability, then we may conclude
that the Californian is to become one of the
settled institutions os the Pacific Coast. The
articles in the present number - which are all
gOod-are: A Winter in Berlin, No. l Cruis-
ing in Chinese Man-of-war two chapters of

recover any possible traces or relics of Sir
John Franklin and Captain Croxier, in their
ill-fated attempt to discover the North West

q written notice scrawled round the margin
of an old newspaper, proving that Sir Johu
Franklin died peaceably ia his cabin before

DEATHS.

SCHNEIDER-In this boroug on the 9th
inst, Mrs. Schneider widow OF William
Schneider deceased-Water street.
BRITTAIN-May 25, 1880, in this place, of
typhoid fever, Mr.. Charles T. Britain, aged
near 20 years.
To record the death of the above excellent
Young man is one of the saddest acts of our life.
Charles T. Britain entered the CITIZEN Office,
as an apprentice to learn the printing art, on
October 2, 1876, and for three years was most
faithful and constant in his work. After FL
ling out his time he was continued in the office
as a iourneyman until about the 1st of Febru-
ary last He then went to Pittsburgh and was
employed in his art there for about two
months Returning home here, he was, on
office, which position he filled just one week
before he was taken ill. We thought his ILL
ness would be but temporary, but the treacher-
GUS disease proved fatal. We deem it duty
to say that we never knew of more correct
young man. He had not single vice. In all
his actions and principles he was upright, hon.
orable and honest. His loss is regretted by all
connected with this Office, and in fact by all
who knew him.
KELLEY-April Is, 1880, in Butler town
ship on Sunday morning Mrs. Kelley, wife of
Samuel Kelley, aged about 20 years.
ALSO-On April goth, Mr.. Samuel Kelley,
in the 10Th year of his age. In death not long
divided.
Fer fortnight has passed, again we have seen,
The messenger pale in our home;
We gave him no welcome-for to add to our
grief,
We know he for father has come.
We have given him up, with tears, yet in hope,
That departing for him was best;
From the cares of this life forever more free,
To find in better world rest.
We shall miss their fond greeting whenever we
come
To the home that their presence made glad
The trace of their hands wherever we turn,
Will make our hearts the more sad.
We;trust in the land where sorrows unknown
Where pain and disease are no more;
To meet them again, with all of our band,
When our lifes journey is DER.
Side by side, we have laid them to rest in the
grave,
As they walked side by side in this life
! United in sharing its joys and its tears,
| And bearing its burden and strife.
The old home is lone where their voices were
| hushed,
They are missed from the walks by the door
Our parents gone now, "the way of the earth
| Their places shall know them no MORE"

Annual Meeting of Allegheny
Chassis.

The annual sessions of Allegheny Chassis of
| the Pittsburgh Synod of the Reformed Church
in the United States, convened In the Reformed
Church. Butler, Pa, May 18th, and continued
! the sessions until the evening of Sunday, 23rd.
The opening sermon was preached by the re-
firing President, Rev. j. w. Alspach. After
the sermon the sessions were instituted by
PRAYER and the election of officers for the ensu-
| ing wear. Rev. w. LIGHTER was elected Presi-
dent: Rev. J. W. Knappenberger, Stated Clerk;
Rev F. 4. Edmonds, Cor. Secretary, and Elder
T. j. Craig, Treasurer.
Divine services were held each evening duI-
ing the sessions, and the Lords Supper was ac.
ministered on Sunday morning. By request OF
the pastors, Rev. F. A. Edmonds preached In
the M. Z. Church, and Rev. j. w. Alspach in
the U. P. Church, on Sunday evening at ':oo
Pm.
A large amount of business was transacted
during the sessions Rev w. T. LIGHTER and
Rev. Jos. Hannabery, at their own request,
were dismissed the former to Lancaster Classls
and the latter to the Philadelphia Classis, Syn
cd of the United States. Licentiate J. H.
Prugh. was received from the Miami Chassis,
Syod of Ohio, and Revs. j. w. Alspach, L. +.
Stauffer and ]. w. Knappenberger were ap-
pointed a committee to ordain and install him
pastor of Grace Church, Pittsburgh, Pa. A new
CONGREGATION recently organized in New Castle,
Pa. was received and enrolled as the New Cas-
tie charge. Rev. F. A. Edmonds, L. f. Stauf-
fer and J. W. Knappenberger were appointed
committee TO install Rev. J. NJ. Louder pastor
of this new charge Rev. Fl. King was granted
permission to organize new congregation in
Allegheny City, Pa. Revs. F. A. Edmonds, L.
+. Stauffer, Elders A. Meyer and Nj. Sitter were
elected delegates primarii to the General Synod
to convene in First Reformed Church, Tltfin,
Ohio May 18th, 1881.
The subject of Missions claimed more than
usual attention After full discussion OF the
subject. the charges were divided into two Mis-
sionary Districts. The first consisting OF Hen
shue, Butler, Millerstown, Sugar Creek and
Fairyiew charges The second of Harmony,
New Castle, Allegheny City, Pittsburgh and
Williamsburg charges. Rev. L. +. Stauffer and
F. a. Edmonds were appointed to preside over
the respective districts, and to arrange for and
hold Missionary Conferences in the respective
congregations during the ensuing year.
Educational interests developed nothing new,
save the reception of one beneficiary student for
the gospel ministry.
Publication interests were fairly dealt with,
but developed nothing new.
Parochial reports were read by all the pas
tors setting forth both the bright and dark sides
of PASTORAL labor. From these condensed re-
ports the condition of the charges within the
bounds of this Chassis show that much labor for
good has been done.
The business sessions were closed at late
hour on Saturday evening with the members OF
Chassis joining in the Apostles Greed, Lords
PRAYER Doxology and Benediction. The dl-
vine services closed with the Sunday evening
services.

Somebody's child is dying-dying with the

1T seems to us that common sense
and experience should teach the majority of
our town council better than to do two things
that they have lately been doing. One is, to
throw the black earth taken from the cutters,
upon the street, for the first heavy. rains wash
it right back into the cutters, and in any event
it is not fit to be upon the street, and the other
is to break sandstone upon the street, for it is
soon pulverized into sand. We are informed
that there were several persons willing to cart
the black earth away for their own use, if it
had been piled up along the street, and that
there is gravel bank over in Springdale
where gravel can be obtained at ten cents a
load, and everybody that knows anything
about road making, knows that gravel packs
hard and firm, and makes a good road.

A PARTY of over sixty foreign MIL
lers and representatives of the milling interest,
coming from Great Britain, Germany, Austria
and Switzerland, arrived in New York last
Tuesday on their way to the Miller's lnterna-
tional Convention, now being held at Cincin-
natl. The superiority of American flour has
attracted so much attention abroad that these
gentlemen have come over to examine our pro-
cesses and learn how to initiate them. After
they haved looked into the matter closely they
will probably find that, with our abundant
water power and intelligent skilled labor, we
can grind our wheat and furnish them with
flour cheaper than they can make it of i'm
ported grain
