nen,h of Prof. McGirr.

About g. o'clock on Wednesday morning
last Professor McGirr died, after only two day
illness He had been complaining for several
DAYS from asthma, and on Monday morning
was attending to his school duties as usual,
but in the afternoon complained very much.
Francis Aloysius McGirr was the son of
John McGirr, a native of Ireland, and Mary
Sharkey, of Venango county, Pa. He was
born in Bradford county, Pa, and was 49
years and months old. He graduated at
Loyola College, Baltimore, in 1856, and
adopted teaching as his profession. The same
year he took charge of Manchester Academy,
this county, and remained there three years,
when he removed to New Windsor and be-
came professor in Calvert College, remain
ing there until that institution closed in 1872.
In the fall of 1872 he came to this city and
took charge of St. Johns Parochial School,
which position he held at the time of his death.
Several years ago he wentto California, and
visited many attractive points in that state.
He was absent about six months, and in his
travels there preferred to walk instead of trav-
cling by stage coach. In this way he became
very familiar with the country, and his de-
scriptions were equal to those published in
magazines of the day.
Socially he was popular with all AS a
teacher he was beloved and was considered
one of the best in the state, both as linguist
and a mathematician, and as christian his
every effort was looking to a bright hereafter.
In 1876 he married Miss Maggie, daughter
of William Fowler, of this city, who survives
him, together with four children by her and
three by his first wife.
His remains were inferred in st. john
Cemetery on Thursday afternoon. The flu
neral was largely attended, and the pail bear
ers were Col. John B. Boyle. Hon. Charles
B. Roberts, Edward Lynch, David N. Hen
ming, F. H. Orendorff, Adam Reggie and

Sabbath morning, October Doth, being set
apart by the congregation of the Church OF
God for the dedicatory services of the new
church at Uniontown, opened cloudy and
gloomy, yet notwithstanding the inclement
appearance, the new church was filled by 9
o'clock with large audience. After prayer
and the singing of an appropriate hymn, Ell
der Geo. Sigler, of Martinsburg, Blair county,
Pa, delivered an able and very impressive ad-
dress from a part of the 9TH verse of the 18th
chapter of First Chronicles, which reads thus {:
"And who then is willing to consecrate his
service this day unto the Lord?" his theme
being ''The preparing of the material for the
building of the spiritual temple which God
will build" After the services were over the
Elder told the congregation assembled that
the house cost So, 523.55, and had all been
paid by subscription, donation, &C., except
1888. 10, and your correspondent began to feel
for the congregation, thinking so large an
amount could hardly be raised in one day, in
clement as the day appeared, but before dis
missal we were glad to learn that the debt had
all been paid except $50. In the evening the
house was literally packed for evening service,
when this large and appreciative audience
again had the pleasure of hearing an able adj
dress from Elder Sigler, from Numbers 14th
chapter and Oath verse, after which there was
a collection, which covered all the indebted
ness, and the congregation had the satisfaction
of knowing that their building was paid for.
After thanking the people for their liberality,
a short dedicatory prayer was offered by Elder
A. H. Long, when the congregation all joined
in singing "Praise God from whom all bles-
sings Aow,'' and received the benediction.
As we wrote you sometime since, that in tear
ing down the old church an old landmark had
been removed, we are able now to say new
one has been established which is an orna-
ment to our little town.
