COURTLAND BRIC.A.BRAC.
EDITOR STAR:


After years Of wishing, waiting,
hoping. we have a church. We
are speaking of house in which
to worship, and not Of the church
militant, as the preachers say /; for
we presume that CORTLAND has
had that kind of a church ever
since she has had a name among
living towns.
The church, a neat building,
erected by Messrs. Heron and
Edgar some seventy-five or a hun
dred yards east Of the depot, hav-
ing been completed, Sunday the
23rd inst, was selected as the day
on which to dedicate it. Sunday
morning came, and with it came
the clouds and the rain. In the
evening, the rain having ceased,
the people OF the town assembled
in the church, and listened to a
plain, practical, earnest sermon
from the Rev. K. H.. Crozier, OF
your town. After the sermon
Messrs. Wright, Deaton, Heron
and Todd presented the church
for dedication, which, in a solemn
prayer, was consecrated to the
most high God.
On the 10Th and goth insts., we
expect 10 have the Sunday School
Convention of the southern district
of this county to meet here. This
being a deliberative body, and not
a law-making power, so that only
those who attend its sessions re-
ceive much benefit from it, the
Sunday school at this place, by
resolution, respectfully invites all
earnest Sunday school workers to
be present on that occasion. The
usual exercises will be had on
Saturday, and, we suppose, preach
ing on Sunday.
The high school at this place,
under the management OF Mr.. +.
b. Woodruff, opened a month or
two ago with fattering auspices.
Mr.. Woodruff brings with him a
good reputation, together with
several years successful experience
in the school room. He proposes
to prepare boys and girls for a
business life, or to enter college.
The principal has succeeded in
securing the services Of Miss
Carrie E. Cox, Of Richmond. Va,
who is a music teacher Of rare
ability. Miss Cox has a fine music
class now, and we would respect
fully suggest that il there be others
in the community who wish to
study music, they viii probably,
never have a better opportunity,
as Miss Cox is a thorough must
clan, protesting to be able to teach
music in all its branches on the
piano. We welcome Miss c. &c
Eourtland. Its said that music
has charms to soothe a savag,
breast" and would it be strang,
that at least one young man SHOULD
feel a soothing influence pass owe
his heart as he listened TO Miss {
discourse sweet music ?

Rev. DR.. Talmage, of Brooklyn, last
Sunday discoursed on the future of the
nation. His sermon touched upon
what will shortly be the one absolving
question in American politics monOp-
oily. The text was from Isaiah-"The
Land shall be married." Said Mr..
Talmage: "1'he overshadowing curse
of America to-day is monopoly. He
puts his hand upon every bushel OF
wheat, every sack Of corn, every ton
of coal, and not man, woman or
child in America but feels the touch of
this moneyed despotism. rejoice to
hear that in twenty.four States Anti
Monopoly Leagues have been formed.
God speed them in the work Of liberia
ton. hope this will be the chief issue
Of the next Presidential contest. Be-
tween now and then we will have time
to compel political platforms to recog-
nize it. This brazen-faced, iron finger
ed, vulture-hearted monopoly offers
his band for acceptance to this nation;
let the people rise up vehemently to
forbid the banns of this marriage"
