On Thursday Of last week the tearing down
of the old Stone Chapel, near Warfeldsburg,
began, and was finished on Monday afternoon.
In its PLACE Is to be erected brick structure
34x50 feet, and Is feet 10 the square. John
Stone, of Uniontown, mason; Levi Nushaum,
of Warfeldsburg, carpenter. Work will be
commenced next week, and it is intended to
have it completed by the close of the year.
Prior to being torn down Charles Reese, pho
tographer, of this city, took view of the old
church, and will dispose of copies Of the same
for the benefit of the new building. Under
the floor stood what was once stump, and
to all appearances it was as sound as the day
the floor was laid. Upon examination it was
found that the wood had decayed and only
the bark was perfect, piece of which we have
in the ADVOCATE office. The members of the
NJ P. Church have rendered the Stone Chapel
congregation the use of their building for
worship on alternate Sundays.

visitors, Beatin taking centre field. For three
innings the fielding was remarkably brilliant
on both sides, but in the fourth and seventh
innings Slade was hit hard, and the visitors
became demoralized The playing of Beatin
in the third inning, and the work of Morgan
and J. Malone on the third and second bases,
were the features on the side of the visitors.
Nicholas and Houseman played a clean game,
without flaw. Greer's three fly catches in
left field and his three aser in the seventh
inning, Clabaugh's fielding and the batting of
Nicholas, were the features for the Westmin-

Will be sown, and the indications are that

IN consequence of the absence of rain, which
is greatly needed at this time.
