When freight train from Troy
reached Pownal, a few days since, the
engineer heard rooster crow, aPpar.
emily under his engine. Upon insssti-
CATION he found game cock perehed
upon the brake-beam Of bis engine With
as much apparent sang-frOid as if he
Fhad been on his own roost with his
family flock. His roOstership was
taken from his perilous perch and
placed in the cabOose, where in due
time he arrived in Troy, where he had
gone to roost. How this rooster could
ride on constantly jarring brake-beam
for thirty-nine miles without Icing

of air under the engine is mystery.
Tie domestic CAT, so far as Europs is

that although Egyptians have been
known to eat their fe.low.creatures dur

church dedication at Espy.


Last Sabbath was red letter day to the
Methodists Of Espy. Their new church
which had been in process Of construction
since September last, was dedicated to the
worship of God with appropriate services.
The day was all that the most ardent
friend of the enterprise could have desired,
cloudless and balmy as II in sympathy with
the occasion, as well as with the joyous
Easter festival Of the Christian church.
Large congregations assembled to listen to
the eminent divines who were to officiate
A preliminary service was held on Satur-
day night, at which short pertinent address,
es were made by Bishop Thomas Bowman
ID, LID, of st. Louis, Mo-, Rev. s. +.
Upham ID, of the New England Confer
ence and Professor In Drew Theological
Seminary, at Madison N. j., Rev. M. L..
Smyser, Presiding Elder, who had charge
of the several services of the occasion, and
Rev. II. II. Wharton, the newly appointed
pastor.
On Sabbath morning at 10 o'clock Bishop
Bowman preached sermon of great sweet
| ness and power from the words at Is more
blessed to give than to receive" In the
afternoon at 3 o'clock children's meeting
was held. Bishop Bowman, DIR. Upham
and Rev. w. w. Evans were the speakers
who delighted, not only the children, but
the adults as well, with their wise, witty
and unctuous remarks.
AT 7.30 p. m. DR.. Upham delivered a
mastery discourse to crowded house on
the Resurrection of Christ" selecting as
his text "Now is Christ risen from the dead
and become the first fruit of them that
slept. Cor. XIV.
The financial effort of the occasion was
so admirably managed by Revs. Smyser
and Evans and the responses of the con-
gregation so liberal that nearly $2S00 were
contributed during the day, thus providing
for the entire COST with previous subscrip-
tions, of the edifce, and placing small
sum in the hands of the trustees for further
needed improvements.
The building with an audience room, s.
S. room, class rooms and library room is a
model of convenience, and comfort, and
was fashioned after the plan furnished by
Mr.. Snyder of Akron, Ohio, an architect of
national reputation. The late Rev. II. c.
Cheston inspired and, under his administra-
ton this enterprise was inaugurated. Mes
srs. A. Snyder, Fahringer, McCamey, Nc
Collum and Mines are the trustees. The
first three as building committee, superin-
tended the erection of this model church.

ROAD SEEKING HEAVY DAMAGES.

a LEASED LINE OF THE PENNSYLVANIA RAIL
ROAD SEEKING HEAVY DAMAGES.
The old contention between the Danvile,
l1azleton and Wilkesbarre railroad COM
pany and the Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany, growing out of the lease of the form
er company to the latter, in February, 1872
resulted in the filing of the declaration of
suit Saturday. The declaration, after re-
citing the Terms of the lease, alleges that
the Pennsylvania company failed to con-
duct the road properly, and on the contrary
managed it in so careless and negligent a
manner that it became ruinous and unpro-
ductive, that seventy-ive per cent. more
than the proper amount was charged
against the leased road upon the expense
account, that there was total failure to
meet the accruing interest coupons, accord
ing to the terms of the lease, and that the
obligation to render just accounts was en-
tirely disregarded. For these and num-
Der of minor grievances damages are asked
to the amount of 50 OO0,0 900. The case will
now be pushed to speedy trial.

In our Miiilin correspondence of last
week some reflections were cast upon an
agent named Robbins who was charged
with selling seed potatoes that were not
as represented. Mr. Robbins informs us
that the charge is false He is selling for
w. L. Manning, who is Vick's agent, and
we know Mr. Manning to be perfectly
honest in all his dealings, and that the
seed potatoes sold by him are just what he
sells them for. Our correspondent must
have been misinformed.
