ship. The church has been taken
away years ago, the fence has yielded
! to times destroying hand and the grave
yard is a common. In strolling around
fouol some marble AMI number of
brown stone head aud foot stones. A
mong them | also found the grave of
the REV. James Martin, pastor of the
first Pres byterian congregation in
Penn's vail ey." The grave andtomb-
stone, like all the surroundings, are in
very dilapidated condition, and it
made me feel sad to 'see that the last
resting place Of this early pioneer of
the cross, and founder of Presbyterian

SO neglected. l concluded to give my
Presbyterian friends gentle reminder
on the matter. Let the sacred spot be
enclosed by substantial iron fence,

tations Of animals and beasts as it
now is.
