The new Christian Church. on Main street,
of which Rev. c. A. Kleeberger Is pastor,
was dedicated yesterday morning. The at
tendance waslarge. The meeting was open
ed with prayer by Elder Woolery. of Somer-
set, and Elder Morrison, Of Ebensburg,
read the Scriptural lesson. The dedicatory
sermon was preached by Rev. DIR. Belding,
of Troy, New York, and was highly inter-
esting and profitable discourse. At the con-
clusion of the service DR.. Belding made a
statement of the financial condition of the
church, and, seconded by Elder Darsie,
made an eloquent appeal for assistance,
which was generously responded TO. DR..
Belding preached again in the evening, at
which service candidate for admission to
membership in the church was received and
immersed. A second appeal for financial
help was made in the evening. The amount
raised at both meetings was $3.50, which
decreased the debt of $1,000 to $3.50. In
addition TO the amount raised there are old
pledges aggregating $500, all of which are
believed to be as good as gold. The church,
which we have heretofore described aa
length, costs about $500. The Ladies' Aid
Society some time ago raised 5000 of that
amount, and the members promise fur
ther contribution of $500. The Society is
composed of noble women. who are deserv-
ing great credit. 1t is thought that the
debt will be Cancelled within the year.
The Christian Church was organized in
1885 with twelve members, several of whom
are still living. among them being Mrs. Hes
lop, of Vine street., and Mrs. Pickworth. Of
Stonycrcek township. The congregation
now numbers 1f5, and the church is one Of

Mr.. VIM. S. Morgan, of Morgan's Mills,
this county, utilizes the crow in way that
will astonish some of our readers. His ex-
perience is given in the american Agricui-
furia rs follows: For the past FIVE seasons,
have, just before my corn came up, sowed
on the field about quart of corn to the
acre, and repeated the operation as often as
necessary. until the corn was so large that
they could not pull it up. If the corn is
soaked until tender. they prefer picking
what they want to eat from the surface rath-
er than to pull the young plants to get it.
The cost OF the corn thus sown is but trifle;
as result, have great number of crows
almost constantly on my corn field, and af.
ter they have been satisfied with the corn,
they pick up all the insects, grubs, and cut
worms they can find, as dessert. In rais-
ing fifty acres of corn since adopting this
plan, have not lost hundred stalks by
