five hundred dollars. The location has not yet
been decided upon.
A grand ball will be given on the 22d at the

OF the different young ministers who have oc-
cupied the pulpit of the o. p. church since Mr..
Menaul left it, Mr.. Hacket, who is yet q stu
dent at the Allegheny Seminary, seems to be
the favorite. The congregation at North Lib

preference for him, SO that it is not improbable

squealing?

ternoon in taking testimony in the case of
Wick VS. Ramsey. The suit is for the recovery
of amount of note given by Ramsey to Wick
several years ago for about $780, in settlement
Of balance of lumber bill. Ramsey claims,
and it is said proves, that Wick agreed to can.
eel the note if Ramsey would secure him pur-
chaser for his farm, and that he had secured
him purchaser in the person of Malachi Ea-
gle. The case will come before Court.
Much sympathy is expressed here for Lewis
Owen, whose store at Forrestville has been
closed by the Sheriff The failure was brought
about by the uncalled for action of Pittsburgh
Jewelry firm in filing note which they had
received from Mr.. Owen in settlement of
balance. Should time be given, Mr.. Owen can
save 50 900 or s., 600, otherwise he will be left
without dollar BILLY WILLIAMS
