A Sinking Mountain.

One of the most extraordinary of the
many disturbances of earth's crust
which have occurred during the last
two or three years is the sinking of the
Mountain of Naiba, in Algiers. This
mountain, which is, or was. about twice
as high as the Crows Nest on the Hud-
son, is said 30 be gradually descending
into the bosom of the earth. deep ex-
cavation being formed all around it as
it settles. There are several instances
on record of volcanic mountains having
risen out of the earth or the sea, and
few of mountains which have sunk into
the earth. The Japanese have legend
that the great volcanic peak of Fusi-
wanna rose suddenly out of the earth,
and it is known that in 1859 the volcano
of Jorullo. in Mexico, rose in one night
out of cultivated plain. In 1881 there
was a similar occurrence in San Saliva
dor, a volcanic hill rising suddenly out
of the middle of the Lake of Uopango.
But, in these cases the phenomena of
the rising mountains were accompanied
by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
SO the recent disappearance of volcanic
islands and the thrusting up through
the bottom of the sea of sixteen new
volcanoes near Java were the accompa-
niments of a great CONFUSION of the
earth's crust. But the sinking of the
Algerian mountain, it appears, is not
attended BY earthquakes, and is not the
result of volcanic eruption. The sub
terranean props of the mountain seem
TO have given away under its weight,
and it is subsiding into the ground--M.

A yEW BAPTiST CHURCH.
How II Was Built and Dedicated
The (sfyers.

Editor State Journal: About 10 months
ago the Rev. J. 7. Craig, missionary Of
the American Baptist publication society
visited Delmar, and organized Sunday
school which 5000 Increased to over TO-
scholars and teachers. A special series
Of meetings was then held resulting In
the conversion and baptism Of 10, and
the organization OF church Of % men,
bers,
Having no place of worship It was re.
solved to build meeting house, and by
the blessing OF God the church WAS
erected at a cost of over $4,000, and Cd
Sunday last dedicated and every
dollar Of indebtedness paid and thanks
Offering presented to the publication
society. The services on Sunday were OF
the most interesting character. The Rev.
Dr.. Johnson, the eloquent and able mis-.
siouary secretary Of tine society, preached
the dedicctory sermons, morning and
evening, and which made the eighty.
third church edifoe he has dedicated,
having Travelled aud visited svsry state
and territory OF the Union in his great
missionary work. He was accompanied
to Delmsr by Washington Jones and W.
Ii. Gregg OF Wilmington, the respective
presidents OF the Delaware Baptist union
and the board OF trustees, which hold the
property in trust for the church James
Irvine Of Chester, Pa, treasurer of the
union +. G. Mack and Edwin Salisbury
of Canterbury, and others.
The house Of worship is situated on
one of the best lots in Dslmar ia a neat
aud tasteful building 30x4G feet and will
ssat nearly 200 people. 1t has been
finished with great taste by the ladies'
mite society OF the church and WAS uni
versally conceded to be one of the neatest
and most comfortable houses below Will
mington. The pews and cushions were
the gift OF the Memorial Baptist Church
OF Philadelphia, the eloquent pastor OF
which, DR.. Hoyt, was listened to with
such interest at the opening of Delaware
Avenue Baptist Church. They co t $3.50.
The entire Indebtedness on Sunday was
nearly 5000 aud by this close Of the after
noon service it was entirely wiped out.
We need hardly say that the brethren
who 40 ompsnied DR.. Johnson did much
10 accomplish this and for which the
little church feels profoundly grateful.
MIR. Craig preached In the afternoon and
will Monday aud Tuesday evenings, when
his work will close as missionary of the
society as he desires again to enter the
passionate and will do 80 very soon. A
missionary will be appointed to succeed
him and pastor called by this little
church and the one At Salisbury to take
charge OF both interests.
