Editors IutslIgencer:
The audience room Of the new N. E
church building was occupied for the first
time on last Sunday morning. Itis very
nicely furnished, and will compare very
iavorably with any church in the State
The building was commenced about one
year ago under the most uniavorable cir,
cumstances. The most sanguine friends
ofthe enterprise did not dare anticipate
that in so short time all could have a
church edifce, and they did not dare an
ticipate that We would ever have such a
model building as we now have. But all
went to work with will, and we now see
the fruits ofourlabor. Much praise is due
to the ladies Of the congregation for the
noble part they have borne in the work.
The sewing society furnished the house
with carpets, pulpit chairs, chandeliers,
&c., while those having charge OF the
memorial quilt have taken upon them
selves 10 pay for the pews. The trustees
have all done nobly, and we're 1t not that
know the extreme modesty OF some Of
them would say that certain ones have
done more than well. The church will
not be dedicated until some time in June,
when i is expected that Bishop Simpson
will oHiciate.
Our County Court Is now In session, and
business is being dispatched with rs much
rapidity as possible under the circum-
stances. 1t Is expected that the docket
will be cleared during the week. The at.
tendance at court is small, as all the farm
ers except those forced to be present are
at home hatd at work. 1t is rather anus.
ing to see the plans taken by the jurors to
stay at home. Some have sent medical
certificates certifying that they are not
able to stand the confinement incident to
weeks attendance at our County Court.
Others have sickness in their families to
prevent their coming, &C., &c. 1t is no
wonder the farmers are averse to coming
at this time OF year, and it would be well
for the cause Of justice did our courts meet
when there is nothing else to do. 1t is to
be hoped, though, that our County Courts |
at least will meet no more after the com.
ing election.

We noticed yesterday that Messrs. A.
Caldwell and R, G. Barr, OF the Wheeling
bar, were attending County Court.
A special jury was ordered in certain |
case on last Monday evening, and quite |
q lively time was experienced by thesher. |

lucky enough to be one OF the number
who was thought TO be fit to try the i'm
portant case pending.
A walk through the Upper Ward a day |
or two ago revealed the fact that quite |
number OF houses are being erected in that
part OF town. K. Ferrel has two in pro.
cess OF erection, one Of which will be- an
ornament to that part OF town aud will be
occupied by his fathers family when
finished. j. L. Slump and W. Catlett
are building cozy residences, while G. ".
Evans, Esq, is starting the foundation for
very dne residence. 1t looks as though
this part OF town will be the city OF the |
future, !. e., il the future sees city in our
beautiful valley.
Our camp meeting grounds will be nicer
this year than ever before, and they will
be occupied by many families from the |
last Of June until the close OF the meeting
which will be about August 2Oth. It will |
be fine summer resort for those living in |
the city, for here they can live without
observing that vast amount OF style
that must be observed at our fashionable
summer resorts. This will certainly suit
those who seek rest and health.
