| DEDICATION AT MI PRosPECT between
three and four hundred persons assembled at
Mt. Prospect NJ. E. church, near Lcwistown,
Yesterday morning to attend the dedicatory
services of that new editicc which has just
been completed. The church, which is most
delectably located, is handsome structure
and reflects great credit upon its architect
and builder, Mr.. Edward Barrick, of Utica.
A fve-hundred pound bell surmounts the
structure while magnificent chandelier, the
gift of Mr.. J. A. =. Matthias, ornaments the
interior. The cost of the entire building and
furniture was $1,000 of which $3.50 remained
unpaid. The Rev. S. A. Wilson, of Balt-
more, preached from John 10: l1-"lf We
know these things, happy are we if we d.

Rev. l.. T. Widorman, of Baltimore, began
pleading for subscriptions to liquidate the
debt when in one hours time the total
amount $76) was raised and the church
freed from its obligation. The good people
of that section of the county feel justly
proud of their little chapel. Rev. G. M.
Berry is the minister in charge, with Miss
Emma Barrick as the efficient organst. Too
much praise cannot be accorded Mr. Jas. ID.
Green whose efforts throughout have been
most ndcfatgable and successful.
SERIOUS Cutting AFFRAY.-Thc culmin-
alton of a series of quarrcls based upon a
grudge of year or two's standing, resulted
in vicious cutting atflay on Sunday night
Ia It near Ladesburg. The parties are
Charles, son of Mr.. Henry G, Smith of this
place, and--Clahaug of the neighbor-
hood of Woodsboro. 1t appears that year
or tive ago the latter accused Smith Of
watching" him while he was IN company
with girl; this Smith denied and quarrel
ensued which was repeated on several oc-
casions when the two got together. On the
occasion just referred to, the two had quar-
relied and come to blows, Smith getting the
worst oft, and they parted, but got together
again in the building when Smith was
knocked down When he got at Clabaugh
again, lie had his knife ready and struck him
blow in the breast that penetrated the
bone; Clabaugh then got-hold of him, but
not in way to protect himself, when Smith
cut him several times more, inficting an ug-
" wound in the arm, another on the leg,
and as we are informed, in all, at four diff
ferent places on his person. Report first
came to us that Clabaugh would likely die,
but later reports are more favorable.
Smith has been arrested and given bail.
