LEON NEws.-The festival held at
the NJ. E. Church on the eve of the
18th inst, was a grand success in
in every particular. The Com.
mittee on decoration had very
tastefully decorated the Chapel with
evergreens and flowers. "The din.
ner at one o'clock was well attended,
and the five tables were ladened with
the choicest edibles and occupied
again and again. The Committees
did well their part in administering
to the wants Of the patrons. The
ice-cream stand presided over by Mr.
John II. Webster, was a success. It
could not otherwise be with Johns
smiling face behind the stand. Mrs,
John Morrison's table of fine candies
was the attraction of all and was
well patronized by the little folks
Mrs; Morrison was the right lady for
that table. "Old DR.. Magovern''
made a fine appearance behind the
lemonade stand, and dealt out large
quantities of the cooling draughts as
his finance box proved. The Doctors
amiable wife prepared the oysters in
excellent style, which were partaken
of in large quantities. The melon
stand near the church was attended
by Geo. Garrison and was q success.
The evening festivities were far in
excess of the dayi in every particular.
The crowd was very large, the tables
were kept full, the stands crowded,
until all the. provisions, except the
cakes kept for sale were exhausted.
Then followed the sale Of the cakes.
Mr.. John NJ. Burdett was selected by
the Committee as crier and he cried
perfectly, as the following statement
will show. By vote Miss Annie
Greenlee received q very fine cake
donated by Mrs. Capt. Brown, as the
prettiest girl in the house. By vote
DR.. Craig received q fine cocoanut
cake, donated by Mrs. Morrison, as
the "ugliest" man in the house. A
cake was voted to Mrs. E. NJ. Lusk
as the - woman in the house.
The three cakes voted brought the
neat sum of $3.50; the first bringing
S27.l5 All the rest of the cakes sold
at good prices, and when the finances
of the several stands, with the cash
donations, was counted out it was as
certained that the nice sum of
Sll5.2l was realized. One of the
largest and finest cakes, donated by
Mrs. John Furgeson, was reserved
and presented to Mrs. Rira L. Miles,
the Pastors wife, who was present,
for which she tenders them her hear.
tiest thanks. This occasion was very

The Recent PapaI Manifesto.

1he hecenC Hapaf hahiHestos
 NEW YORK, Jan. 16.--A very remarkable manifesto respecting the relations between Italy and the Pope was published in Rome about Q fortnight ago. It was so bold and clear in it's statements and carried with it such an air of authority that it was at once attributed to the Pope himself. This has not been officially denied nor confirmed but the better opinion is that the manifesto was writ ten or inspired by Cardinal Jocobini, the pa pal Secretary of State. A translation of the manifesto made in Rome for the CGtlt0ltc Re- 05ese of this city was published to-day. The kernel of the whole document is drawn up with skill and it is beyond question one of the most important State papers of modern times It is to be found in the following sentences: Italy will soon be obliged to give back to the Pope his sceptre to look out for another city where to fix a capital, leave the Pope master of Rome and come to an understanding with the Holy See. She will be forced to do SO by reasons of State, by public conscience, by European pressure, by uneasiness and discontent of the popula- tion and by the instinct of self preservation. Thus reconciliation between the Pope and Italy would take place without any hurt, without any foreign armies, without any kind of violence. Italy will by and by draw back and leave the pontiff the free and independ- ent ruler of 200, GOO OOO of consciences and will realize to the great advantage of the | Italian nation sovereign Pope 1n 1ndepend- | ent Italy, Let Italy be reconciled with the Pope and the Pope be free in free Italy, and this shall be the strongest guarantee of our | independence. The manifesto has produced I powerful effect at Rome and all European courts.

A Murderer's Chances for Escape

GREAT HARRINGTON, Jan. 16.-Oscar F. Beckwith, the alleged murder of S. A. Van dercook in the vicinity of Afford, has not been arrested and the opinion becomes stronger daily that he will escape. So far as known here, the authorities of Columbia county, New York, have not offered reward and are not pursuing him. A party from Afford searched the mountains yesterday and also the dwelling of Beckwith's nephew without success, but after a more minute examination of the shanty additional remains were found. Vandercook's brother from Troy came here Saturday, and today the remains were taken there for burial. This murder recalls the fact that some two years ago an old lady named Peck disappeared on the mountain near Beckwitn's hut, but after complete search by one hundred men she was never found and people here believe she was murdered by Beckwith. There is talk of lynching Beckwith if caught. There is great indignation expressed here at the indifference of the New York State au- thorities. No new facts need be expected un- less Beckwith should be arrested or until the eoroner's jury meet again on Friaay.
