Religious services were held IN the Presley
terrain Church Of this place, last Tuesday aud
Wednesday, both morning and evening. Rev.
Mr.. Cuuniughasp, of Hamilton Square, and
Rev. Mr.. Nudge, Of Princeton. appointed by
the Presbytery TO visit this church. discoursed
excellent and instructive sermons.
The Mite Society. held at the home of Mr..
Ogden Hocombe, last Thursday evening, was
pleasant occasion. The attendance was ex-
cecdingly large and the amount Of money
obtained was above the average.
A singing school, under thu leadership of
DR.. Gorsuch, teacher of otr public school,
was organized last Friday evening, A large
numbered ladies and gentlemen were in at
tendance We hope this may be successful
undertaking and thatthe talent of music, so
greatly neglected throughout this vicinity,
may be cultivated to the advantage OF all.
plank Walk was out again in last
weeks issue of the Beacon with wings like
those of an eagle, soaring aloft with that
beautiful and honored bird so often referred
to in his eloquent writings and which ''zeb y
supposed he hit y and caused to "flutter
to the ground.' "Plank walk " seems to
have gone TO great deal of trouble to ascer.
tain the exact length of plank walk repaired
and that not repaired. We hope g Zeb . and
Plank Walk . will come to a conclusion re-
garding the matter, and if they are both after
the honors, we ask they will divide them so
that Pop may come in for an equal share.
We have earnestly tried before to give them
advice, but they still wander on in darkness,
and instead of recommending zeb " alone
to get pair of eyeglasses, las "Plank
Walk suggests), think both of them need
pair and to save cost, perhaps common
window glass would answer the necessary
purpose.
An exhibition to be held about the first of
February, is now in course of preparation by
the young people of this place. The success
that attended the one given last Winter, was
great encouragement to them, and they
propose to make this one much more interest
ing as well as instructive.
The debating society was held on Monday
evening. Although the weather was unfay-
tion, Resolved, That woman suffrage in
America is desirable. was quite well debated,
and resulted in decision In favor of the
affirmative. The question for next Monday
evening is, Resolved, That education exerts
greater influence than wealth.
Our worthy and most honorable friend,
" Avis, y of the Democrat, has either become
freDzied, or wishes to show his marked elo-
quence, in regard to an item of ours in refer
ence TO the Temperauee Society. Our idea in
making this statement was to do the Society
good, if possible, by letting them know the
opinion of the majority of the people of this
vicinity, regarding their Society. Although
we have excited the feelings of our friend
" Avis, F" we are glad we have caused him to
refer to the Divine Book for comparisons,
whereby, we hope he may become better ae-
quaiuted with its teachings. We 90 not
"has done good" But we believe, at the
same time that much more good could
have been, and remained to be done, had it
received the proper management, and not af-
forded a place for amusement and magical
tricks of a clown In regard to So
called gentlemen, who at each meeting will
persist in showing their lack of brains and
breeding, as they sit in the gallery or back
part of the church., we are of the opinion and
belief that the gallery and back part of the
church is more suitable place for so-called
gentlemen with lack Of brains than the front
seats or platform. PoP.
